Objective To evaluate the impact of depression on 5-year survival rate of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods From January 2002 to June 2004, a total of 401 elderly inpatients with COPD were enrolled.They were assigned into two groups according to their HAD-D scores: depression group (HAD-D scores≥8) and non-depression group (HAD-D scores<8).The follow-up time was 5 years.Results The 5-year survival rate was lower in depression group than in non-depression group (log-rank test, χ~2 = 6.94, P<0.01).Depression was independently associated with mortality in elderly patients with COPD (HR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.08 to 3.11).Conclusions Depression in elderly COPD patients is associated with poor 5-year survival rate, and it is an independent influencing factor of 5-year mortality.

Objective To explore correlation of Xinjiang Kazakh population who suffered from COPD with polymor?phisms of F+1,S2,T1,ST+5 locus of ADAM33 gene. Methods Blood samples (n=193) from healthy controls (Control group, n=193) and COPD patients (Case group, n=197) were detected by SNP SNaP shot. Results Comparing case group with the control group, gene frequency and allele frequency of F+1 locus were of significant differences (P<0.05). In patient group, there were no significant differences in F+1 locus genotype and in clinical indicators include lung function FEV1 predicted and FEV1/FVC (P>0.05). The gene frequencies and allele frequency of S2、T1 and ST+5 locus were not significantly differ?ent between case group and control group (P>0.05). F+1 and S2 locus were analyzed by haplotype analysis which showed that there was significant differences in Hap1 (CC) haplotype between case group and control group (P<0.05), and OR<1 indicated that its haplotype may reduce the risk of COPD . There were significant differences (P<0.05) in Hap3(TC) haplo?type between case group and control group and OR>1 revealed that its haplotype may increase the risk of COPD . The distri?bution of Hap2 (TG) and Hap4 (CG) were not significantly different (P>0.05) between the 2 groups. T1 and ST+5 locus were analyzed by haplotype analysis which showed significant differences in haplotypes between case group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The occurrence of COPD may be related to the polymorphism of ADAM33 gene in F+1 locus in Xinjiang Kazakh.
