PurposeTo measure the areas and diameter lines of bronchi at acute exacerbation and at remission period in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using CT, and to explore the correlation between the two periods and evaluate the comprehensive assessment in diagnosing COPD exacerbation.Materials and Methods Fifty-two COPD patients were scanned with 64-row spiral CT on chest and PFT at acute exacerbation and at remission period. The areas and diameter lines of apical segmental and the sub-segmental bronchi of the right upper lobe in the patients were measured at the two periods, including indicators such as wall thickness (WT), thickness-diameter ratio (TDR), wall area (WA), percentage of wall area (WA%). The differences of those indicators at the two periods were compared with such factors of COPD comprehensive assessment as forced expiratory volume at the first second% (FEV1%), percentage of forced expiratory volume in first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), COPD assessment test (CAT), modified medical research council questionnaire (mMRC) for assessing the severity of breathlessness, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD). Results The patients had significant differences between acute exacerbation period and remission period in the indicators of COPD comprehensive assessment like FEV1%, FEV1/FVC, CAT, mMRC and 6MWD (t=-4.119,-2.583, 4.012, 3.321 and-3.892,P<0.05). Compared with those at remission period, the WT, TDR, WA and WA% of sub-segmental bronchi were all higher at acute exacerbation period (t=3.025, 2.341, 2.204 and 2.124, P<0.05); only TDR of segmental bronchi showed significant difference between the two periods (t=2.990,P<0.05). The correlation of sub-segmental bronchi with FEV1%, FEV1/FVC, CAT, mMRC and 6MWD was more significant than that of segmental bronchi with those indicators at the two periods.Conclusion The COPD comprehensive assessment can help diagnose COPD at acute exacerbation period; MSCT shows the remodeling of segmental and sub-segmental bronchi and the changes on the airway wall, and the quantitative measurement of sub-segmental bronchi has correlation with the differences of indicators in the comprehensive assessment; COPD comprehensive assessment seems to be more valuable than PFT in the estimation of COPD at acute exacerbation.

Inflammation and lung function decline are the main pathophysiological features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Acupuncture can improve lung function in patients with COPD, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Orexins (OXs), which are found in peripheral plasma, are neuropeptides that regulate respiration and their levels are related to COPD. Therefore, we hypothesized that acupuncture might alter OXs, reduce lung inflammation and improve lung function in COPD.

Objective To explore the value of preoperative detection of soluble fragments of cytokeratin-19 (CYFRA21-1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and postoperative detection of nuclear proliferation associated antigen Ki67 in prognostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods The clinicopathological data and follow-up results of patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in 2017 were collected. CYFRA21-1>3.39 ng/mL was defined as positive, and CEA>5 ng/mL was defined as positive. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) of Ki67 expression level was drawn. The maximum area under the curve (AUC) was the cutoff value of Ki67 expression level, and the Ki67 expression level greater than its cutoff value was defined as positive. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Results Finally 248 patients were collected, including 125 males and 123 females, with a median age of 61 years (ranging from 30 to 81 years) at the time of surgery. Univariate analysis showed that positive CYFRA21-1, high expression of Ki67, positive CEA, age≥60 years at operation, distant metastasis, lymph node metastasis, maximum tumor diameter>3 cm, and TNM stage Ⅲ were associated with poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. When combined detection of preoperative tumor markers and postoperative Ki67, the prognosis of all negative patients was the best, and that of all positive patients was the worst. Cox regression analysis showed that positive CEA+positive CYFRA21-1+high expression of Ki67 was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The combined detection of preoperative serum CYFRA21-1, CEA, and postoperative Ki67 has important value in evaluating the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients.
