Abstract:
Objective To investigate the gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explore its possible reasons.Methods Thirty-six patients with stable COPD were divided into mild group [21 cases,forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) measured values/predictive values ≥50％] and severe group (15 cases,FEV1 measured values/predictive values ＜ 50％) according to the pulmonary function.Replacement of 19 healthy volunteers as control group.The patients and volunteers completed the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scales (GSRS) scores and received electrogastrography,the plasma vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (Ⅰ-FABP) were detected.Results The GSRS scores in severe group and mild group was higher than that in control group[(17.73 ± 4.64),(14.29 ± 5.44) scores vs.(8.00 ± 2.29) scores],and severe group was higher than that in mild group,there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The percentage of normal slow waves of fasting and postprandial,the percentage of bradygastria in severe group and mild group were lower than those in control group,there were significant differences(P ＜ 0.05).The level of VIP in severe group was lower than that in mild group and control group [(36.07 ± 9.22) μ g/L vs.(44.16 ± 7.88),(46.53 ± 4.54) μ g/L],the level of I-FABP was higher than that in mild group and control group [(35.80 ± 11.69) μ g/L vs.(27.40 ±9.53),(23.58 ±8.18) μg/L],there was significant difference (P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between mild group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The patients with COPD are accompanied with serious gastrointestinal symptoms and gastric dysrhythmia,severe COPD can be associated with VIP decrease and Ⅰ-FABP rise in peripheral blood.
