Abstract:
Objective To discuss the expression and significance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR) in peripheral blood in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods One hundred and fifty cases COPD patients who were treated in Respiratory Departments of Hai'an People′s Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from January to December 2015 were selected and divided into stable period group with 60 cases and acute exacerbation period group with 90 cases,and 50 healthy subjects were selected as control group.Clinical data were collected and white blood cell count(WBC),neutrophil count(NC),lymphocyte count(LC),platelet(PLT),NLR,PLR,forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1%) predicted and C reactive protein(CRP) were tested.Results NLR,PLR and CRP values were significantly higher in patients in acute exacerbation period group than in stable period group and control group(NLR:(10.30±9.93) vs.(6.76±5.90) vs.(5.85±3.67);PLR:(335.88±164.94) vs.(286.80±118.98) vs.(194.11±88.14);CRP: (42.18±24.89) mg/L vs.(23.27±13.59) mg/L vs.(22.49±13.47) mg/L,F=6.637,6.808,11.007,P<0.05),but FEV1% predicted was no difference in stable period group and acute exacerbation period group((58.85±16.83)% vs.(57.47±17.76)%;t=0.228,P>0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between NLR,PLR and CRP in acute exacerbation period group(r=0.374,0.379,P<0.01),there was a positive correlation between NLR and PLR(r=0.482,P<0.01),there was a negative correlation between NLR,PLR and FEV1(r=-0.297,-0.299,P<0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between NLR,PLR and CRP in table period group(r=0.593,0.433,P<0.01),NLR and PLR were also positively correlated(r=0.618,P<0.01),NLR,PLR and FEV1 accounted for the expected value of the negative correlation(r=-0.324,-0.342,P<0.05).Conclusion Both NLR and PLR are inflammatory markers,furthermore they show a significant negative correlation to airflow limitation in patients with COPD.
