| Objective:By detecting the levels of tumor necrosis factor-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-a, TNF-a), endothelin-1(Endothelin-1, ET-1) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) with pulmonary endogenous heart disease, To investigate its role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary heart disease.Methods:30eligible COPD with pulmonary heart disease patients from Dept of Pulmonology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Including20males and10females;30patients with COPD, Consists of18men and12women;30Physical examination person in the same period in the second affiliated hospital of nanchang university medical department, including20males and10females; All subjects underwent echocardiography examination, mainly to detect pulmonary artery pressure, By enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EILSA) determinate the serum ET-1, TNF-a levels in Pulmonary heart disease patients, pulmonary heart disease and COPD group both accept cardiac echocardiographyã€pulmonary function, arterial blood gas analysis, compared With COPD group and healthy control group, conduct the correlation analvsis of the detection indicators.Results:(1) Compared with COPD patients and control group, the serum ET-1, TNF-a are Significantly increased in COPD patients with pulmonary heart disease, the differences are all statistically significant (p<0.05); The level of serum ET-1, TNF-a in COPD group is higher than the control group, the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05);(2) Compared with COPD patients, FEV1percentage of predicted value%, PaO2of cor pulmonale group are significantly decreased, the differences are all statistically significant (p<0.05)(3) Compared with the group of COPD pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary heart disease group are significantly elevated pulmonary artery pressure, the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05);the serum ET-1levels of are positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure pulmonary heart disease patients(r=0.38, P<0.01); the serum TNF-a levels are positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure (r=0.23,P<0.01)Conclusions:(1) The serum ET-1levels of cor pulmonale group are higher than the serum ET-1levels in COPD and control group, and the serum ET-1levels of cor pulmonale group is positively correlated with pulmonary artery pressure, suggesting that ET-1may related with COPD with pulmonary heart disease occurrence and development.(2) The serum TNF-a levels of cor pulmonale group are higher than the serum TNF-a levels in patients of COPD and control group, the serum ET-1levels of cor pulmonale group is positively correlated with pulmonary artery pressure, suggesting that TNF-a may be associated with pulmonary hypertension, TNF-a may be related with the development and progression of pulmonary heart disease. |
