Objective To study the relationship between viral infection and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),and the effect of viral infections on the changes of Th1/Th2 in COPD patients. Methods The se-ra from 81 patients with acute exacerbations of COPD,25 patients with stable COPD and 22 healthy subjects were tested for specific IgM of respiratary syncytial virus(RSV) ,herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), parainfluenza vi-rus (PIV), adenovirus (ADV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Supernatant INF-γ and IL-4 cultured with PHA were determined. Results The positive rates of IgM in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD compared with those in patients with stable COPD and healthy subjects were significantly different(P <0.001 ). The level of INF-γ, and IL-4 in patients with acute exacerbations of COPD and stable COPD compared with normal control group;the level of INF-γ (242±43) and the of IL-4(42±9) in pa-tients with acute exacerbations of COPD was not significantly different as compared with the level of INF-γ( 198±32) and the level of IL-4(56±11 ) in patients with stable COPD (P<0.05), but the level of INF-γ was increased (90±18)and IL-4 was decreased (141±24) in control group (P<0.05). Compared with those in IgM negative group, the levels of INF-γ were significantly higher and the levels of IL-4 were significantly lowerIL-4 in lgM positive group( P<0.01 ). Conclusion Virus infection is a rather important factor in acute exacerbations of COPD, and COPD is characterized by a predominance of Th1-type response,and there is more significant Th1 response predomi-nance in COPD with virus infection.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of inflammatory cells and clinical features in the prognosis of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 163 cases of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ NSCLC patients treated with the ICIs in this hospital from January 1,2017 to December 31,2022 were collected.The CT examination was conducted after 6-8 weeks treatment.The pa-tients were divided into the objective remission group[complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR)]and non-objective remission group[stable disease (SD)+progressed disease (PD)],disease control group (CR+PR+SD) and non-disease control group (PD),persistent clinical benefit group (DCB) and non-DCB group.The differences in clinical features and inflammatory cells indicators were compared among the differ-ent groups.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the inflammatory cells indicators for DCB.The influencing factors analysis of progression free survival (PFS) time and overall survival (OS) time adopted the Cox regression analysis.Results The lymphocyte count (ALC) in the disease control group was higher than that in the non-disease control group.The neutro-phil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mononuclear lymphocyte ratio (MLR) were lower than those in the non-disease control group.The proportions of squamous cell carcinoma,stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point,adverse reactions in the DCB group were higher than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05),the PLT count,NLR,PLR and MLR were lower than those in the non-DCB group (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for pre-dicting DCB,the area under of ROC curve (AUC) was 0.633,0.602,0.635 and 0.604 respectively,the opti-mal cut off values were 187×109/L (P=0.004),5.0 (P=0.026),235 (P=0.003) and 0.35 (P=0.024) re-spectively.The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that non-squamous carcinoma including adenocar-cinoma (HR=1.565,95％CI:1.057-2.316) and other pathologic types (HR=2.285,95％CI:1.326-3.936),ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=2.375,95％CI:1.652-3.415),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=1.847,95％CI:1.160-2.938) and PLR≥235 (HR=1.557,95％CI:1.016-2.386) were the independent risk factors for short PFS.The ECOG score 2-3 points (HR=4.615,95％CI:2.882-7.391),AMC≥0.65×109/L (HR=5.161,95％CI:2.984-8.925) and PLR ≥235 (HR=1.732,95％CI:1.059-2.833) were the independent risk fac-tors for short OS (P<0.05),and having adverse reactions (HR=0.472,95％CI:0.294-0.757) was the independ-ent protective factor for short OS (P<0.05).Conclusion Lower PLT,AMC,NLR,MLR and PLR,higher ALC,squamous cell carcinoma,TNM stage Ⅲ,ECOG score 0-1 point and immunotherapy related adverse reactions could prompt that the prognosis is good in ICIs treating advanced NSCLC.PLT,NLR,PLR and MLR could serve as the indicators for predicting DCB.
