Objective To investigate the effects of serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), procalcitonin (PCT) and lung function by tiotropium bromide combined with aminophylline in the treatment of senile chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods A total of 82 cases of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) were collected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 41 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were treated by conventional treatment; patients in the experimental group were treated on the basis of the control group with tiotropium bromide combined with aminophylline.The lung function, respiratory condition and serum levels of PCT, BNP before and after treatment were determined, and the clinical efficacy and safety was compared.Results The effective rate of the control group (68.29%) was lower than the experimental group (87.80%) , with statistical significance ( P<0.05 ); compared with the control group after treatment, the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1%pre of the experimental group significantly increased, dyspnea score decreased, 4 min walking test increased, serum PCT and BNP levels decreased in the experimental group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion Tiotropium bromide combined with aminophylline in the treatment of senile chronic obstructive pulmonary disease could reduce the serum BNP and PCT levels and improve lung function.
