Their coexistence is referred to as the overlap syndrome. They are both related to pulmonary hypertension (PH) development. This study investigated the effects of OSA on PH in patients with COPD and the associated factors. Methods: Consecutive patients with stable COPD were recruited for an observational cross-sectional study from September 2016 to May 2018 at Peking University Third Hospital. In total, 106 patients with COPD were enrolled and performed home portable monitoring and echocardiography. OSA was defined by an apnea hypopnea index (AHI)>10 events/h. Based on OSA absence or presence, patients were divided into the COPD with OSA and COPD without OSA groups. Factors affecting pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and PH were identified using univariate analysis and logistic regression models. Results: In the 106 patients with COPD, the mean age was 69.52 years, 91.5% were men, and the mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV!) percentage of predicted was 56.15%. Fifty-six (52.8%) patients with COPD were diagnosed with OSA, and 24 (22.6%) patients with COPD were diagnosed as PH. Compared with COPD without OSA group, the median PAP in COPD with severe OSA group increased by 5 mmHg (36.00 [26.00-50.00] mmHg vs. 31.00 [24.00-34.00] mmHg, P = 0.036). COPD with percent of night-time spent with oxygen saturation below 90%(T90)> 10% group had higher PAP than COPD with T90 < 1 % group (36.00 [29.00-50.00)] mmHg vs. 29.00 [25.50-34.00] mmHg, F = 7.889, P = 0.007). Univariate analysis revealed age, FEVi% predicted, T90, and Charlson index had statistically significant effects on PH. Multiple regression analysis showed a significant and independent effect of both FEVj% predicted (odds ratio [OR]= 3.46;95% confidence interval [Cl]: 1.15-10.46;P = 0.028) and AHI (OR = 3.20;95% Cl: 1.09-19.35;P = 0.034) on PH. Conclusions: Patients with COPD with OSA are more susceptible to PH, which is associated with declining lung function and increased severity of OSA. Thus, nocturnal hypoxemia and OSA in elderly patients with COPD should be identified and treated.展开更多

It is characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious panicles or gases. Peri-bronchiolar fibrosis was occurred in small airways in the early state of COPD, and then followed by structure changes, and finally became persistent airflow limitation？21 Recent researches have shown that epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） is one of the leading causes of fibrosis in various diseases.展开更多

文摘Twist phase is a nontrivial statistical phase that only exists in partially coherent fields,which makes the beam carry orbital angular momentum(OAM).In this paper,we introduce a new kind of partially coherent beams carrying high-order twist phase,named generalized high-order twisted partially coherent beams(GHTPCBs).The propagation dynamics such as the spectral density and OAM flux density propagating in free space are investigated numerically with the help of mode superposition and fast Fourier transform(FFT)algorithm.Our results show that the GHTPCBs are capable of self-focusing,and the beam spot during propagation exhibits teardrop-like or the diamond-like shape in some certain cases.Moreover,the influences of the twist order and the twist factor on the OAM flux density during propagation are also illustrated in detail.Finally,we experimentally synthesize the GHTPCBs with controllable twist phase by means of pseudo-mode superposition and measure their spectral density during propagation.The experimental results agree well with the theoretical predictions.Our studies may find applications in nonlinear optics and particle trapping.
