ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of closed thoracic drainage with single tube or double tubes after video-assisted thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 50 patients (39 males, 11 females) who underwent three-port thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery in our hospital from January 2013 to March 2019. Twenty-five patients with single indwelling tube after surgery were divided into the observation group and 25 patients with double indwelling tubes were divided into the control group.ResultsThere was no significant difference in pulmonary retension on day 3 after surgery, postoperative complications, the patency rate of drainage tube before extubation, retention time or postoperative hospital stay (P>0.05). Postoperative pain and total amount of nonsteroidal analgesics use in the observation group was less than those in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionIt is safe and effective to perform closed thoracic drainage with single indwelling tube after video-assisted thoracoscopic lung volume reduction surgery, which can significantly reduce the incidence of related adverse drug reactions and facilitate rapid postoperative rehabilitation with a reduction of postoperative pain and the use of analgesic drugs.

Objective To analyse the content and structure of the health management policy text for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China, and to provide a reference for the optimization and improvement of subsequent relevant policies. Methods We searched for relevant policy documents on COPD health management at the national level from January 2017 to December 2023, constructed a two-dimensional analysis framework for policy tools and chronic disease health management processes, coded and classified policy texts, and used content analysis method to analyze policy texts. Results Twenty-four policy texts were included. There were 183 codes for policy tool dimension, with supply based, environmental based, and demand based tools accounting for 43.72%, 47.54%, and 8.74%, respectively. There were 124 codes for the dimension of health management processes, with health information collection and management accounting for 12.10%, risk prediction accounting for 14.52%, intervention and treatment accounting for 66.13%, and follow-up and effectiveness evaluation accounting for 7.26%. Conclusions At present, the proportion of policy tools related to the management of COPD in China needs to be dynamically adjusted. Environmental tools should be appropriately reduced, the internal structure of supply tools should be optimized, the driving effect of demand tools should be comprehensively enhanced, the coupling of COPD health management processes should be strengthened, and the relevant policy system and overall quality should be continuously improved.
Objective To investigate the effects of smoking intensity, duration and cessation on mRNA and protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9) in tracheal epitheliumof rats, and the relationship between smoking or smoking cessation and airway remodeling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, ie. a normal control group, a long termheavy smoking group, a short termheavy smoking group, a long termlight smoking group,and a smoking cessation group which was exposed to room air for 10 weeks after long term heavy smoking.The expressions of MMP-9 mRNA and protein in tracheal epithelium of rats were detected by in situ hybridization and munohistochemistry respectively. Results ( 1) The pathological changes of emphysema were observed in the lung tissue of every smoking rat, and were most sever in the long term heavy smoking group. ( 2) Compared with the normal control group [ ( 0. 88 ±0. 88) PU, ( 2. 80 ±1. 66) PU] , the expressions of MMP-9 mRNA and proteins in tracheal epithelium were remarkable elevated in the long term heavy smoking group [ ( 22. 01 ±2. 86) PU, ( 20. 81 ±2. 46) PU] , the short term heavy smoking group [ ( 14. 94 ±3. 46) PU, ( 13. 68 ±2. 00) PU] , the long term light smoking group [ ( 6. 92 ±2. 71) PU,( 8. 84 ±1. 80) PU] and the smoking cessation group [ ( 19. 00 ±3. 36) PU, ( 14. 82 ±1. 74) PU] ( P lt;0. 01) . Compared with the long term heavy smoking group, the expressions of MMP-9 in tracheal epithelium were decreased in other three smoking groups ( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusions Smoking could increase the expression of MMP-9 in tracheal epithelium and cause trachea damage and remodeling with intensity and duration in rats. Smoking cessation could decrease the MMP-9 expression and alleviate trachea remodeling,suggesting its role in the prevention of COPD.

Methods An epidemiological study was carried out in preoperative patients who received pulmonary function test in Zhongshan hospital fromNovember 6, 2007 to December 30, 2007. 339 patients were enrolled and diagnosed as COPD by different diagnostic criteria as follows: ①GOLD criteria; ②FEV1 /FVC
Objective To investigate the prethrombotic state and effect of anticoagulation therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)．Methods Forty-six COPD patients were divided into VAP group(25 cases)and non-VAP group (21 cases)．The VAP group were randomly subdivided into two groups：group A(conventional therapy group，n=13)，group B(conventional therapy+anticoagulation therapy group，n=12)．The D-dimer (DD)，fibfinogen(FIB)，pulmonary artery pressure(PAP)and the time of weaning were compared between these groups．Results In the COPD patients，the levels of DD，FIB and PAP were significantly increased in VAP group compared with non-VAP group[(0．50±0．26)mg／L，(3．67 ±0．88) L，(31．71 ± 5．66)mm Hg vs(0．23±0．12)mg／L，(1．56±0．45) L，(15．28 ±2．84)mm Hg，respectively，all Plt; 0．05]．In the COPD patients with VAP，the levels of DD，the content of FIB，PAP and mortality were significantly lower in group B with shorter time of weaning compared with group A[(0．22±0．16)mg／L， (1．56±1．17)g／L，(16．00±2．48)him Hg，8．33％ and(4．00±1．41)d vs(O／41±0．09)mg／L，(3．66± 1．03) L，(28．00±0．85)mm Hg，15．4％ and(10．76±3．35)d，respectively，all Plt;0．05]． Conclusions Prethrombotic state exists in COPD patients with VAP．Aggressive anticoagulation on base of routine therapy，by ameliorating microcireulation，call shorten the time of weaning and reduce the mortalit in these patient
Objective To investigate the effect of chronic altitude hypoxia exposure on serum lipoprotein levels in healthy subjects and patients with pulmonary hypertension, and whether there is a difference in serum lipoprotein levels between patients with pulmonary hypertension at middle and high altitude. Methods The case data of 245 Han patients with COPD complicated with pulmonary hypertension admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from January 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the altitude of their long-term residence before onset, the patients were divided into two groups, 119 cases in the middle altitude group (1500 m~2500 m). 126 cases were in the high altitude group of 2500 m~4500 m. In addition, the physical examination data of 50 healthy people in the intermediate and high altitude groups were collected as the control group (the age and gender of the healthy people in the same altitude group were similar to those in the COPD-PH group), a total of 4 groups were collected. The general data, pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of the four groups were compared, and the correlation between pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASP) and related variables was analyzed. ResultsThere were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking and drinking between the healthy control group and COPD-PH group (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in body mass index, PASP, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG/HDL-C, HDL-C/LDL-C between the healthy control group and the COPD-PH group (all P<0.05). In the healthy control group, only BMI was significantly different between the high altitude group and the middle altitude group (P<0.05). In the COPD-PH group, PASP, BMI, TC, HDL-C and TG/HDL-C in the high altitude group were significantly different from those in the moderate altitude group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking, drinking, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C/LDL-C between the two groups (all P>0.05), when gender, age, altitude, body mass index, PASP, smoking and drinking were included in the multi-factor linear regression equation of lipoprotein (TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C), it was found that different elevations (middle and higher elevations) only had statistically different effects on HDL-C (b=-0.046, t=-2.209, P=0.028). Correlation analysis showed that PASP was not correlated with age, altitude, body mass index and blood lipids (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) in the healthy control group (all P>0.05). However, in the COPD-PH group, PASP was negatively correlated with blood lipid indicators (TC, HDL-C and LDL-C). PASP was positively correlated with altitude (a risk factor for hypoxia). ConclusionsHypoxia environment factors characterized by altitude are closely related to the severity of pulmonary artery pressure in patients with COPD-PH, and higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure is closely related to lower levels of TC, HDL-C and LDL-C.
