ABSTRACT: 
Airway remodelling and emphysema are major structural abnormalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, pulmonary vascular remodelling may occur and contribute to pulmonary hypertension, a comorbidity of COPD. Increased cholinergic activity in COPD contributes to airflow limitation and, possibly, to inflammation and airway remodelling.

This study aimed to investigate the role of acetylcholine in pulmonary inflammation and remodelling using an animal model of COPD. To this aim, guinea pigs were instilled intranasally with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) twice weekly for 12 weeks and were treated, by inhalation, with the long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist tiotropium. Repeated LPS exposure induced airway and parenchymal neutrophilia, and increased goblet
cell numbers, lung hydroxyproline content, airway wall collagen and airspace size. Furthermore, LPS increased the number of muscularised microvessels in the adventitia of cartilaginous airways. Tiotropium abrogated the LPS-induced increase in neutrophils, goblet cells, collagen deposition and muscularised microvessels, but had no effect on emphysema.

In conclusion, tiotropium inhibits remodelling of the airways as well as pulmonary inflammation
in a guinea pig model of COPD, suggesting that endogenous acetylcholine plays a major role in
the pathogenesis of this disease.

背景
由於缺少長期數據,慢性高碳血症呼吸衰竭之阻塞性肺部疾病(COPD)患者間歇使用非侵入性正壓通氣(NIPPV)仍有爭議。
本研究目的是在比較兩年期慢性高碳血症呼吸衰竭之COPD患者在家夜間間歇使用非侵入性通氣合併肺部復健和單獨使用肺部復健治療(PR)結果。
方法
66位病人在家使用兩年的追蹤進行分析。使用截距隨機效應之線性混合效應模式與以及基準值的調整評估非侵入性正壓呼吸器(NIPPV)加上肺部復健(PR)治療和單獨使用肺部復健治療(PR)之間的差異。主要結果為健康相關生活品質( HRQoL);次要結果是情緒狀態,呼吸困難,氣體交換,功能狀況,肺功能,以及惡化頻率。
結果
比較單獨使用肺部復健治療(PR)和合併非侵入性正壓通氣(NIPPV)並沒明顯改善慢性呼吸問卷量表(CRQ)( 群組間平均差異變化為-1.3分【 95CI-9.77.4 ),使用Maugeri呼吸衰竭問卷量表評估顯示肺部復健治療(PR)合併非侵入性正壓通氣(NIPPV)可改善健康相關生活品質 (HRQoL) (-13.4%【-22.7 -4.2p=0.005),情緒狀態(醫院焦慮和憂鬱量表-4.0-7.80.0p=0.05),呼吸困難分數(醫學研究委員會MRC -0.4-0.8 -0.0p=0.05),日間動脈血液氣體(PaCO2-0.4 KPa-0.8-0.2p=0.01】;PaO20.8 KPa 0.01.5P=0.03)6分鐘步行距離 (77.3公尺【46.4108.0P0.001)Groningen 活動和限制量表(-3.8-7.4-0.4p=0.03),和第一秒用力吐氣容積FEV1 (115ml19211p=0.019),惡化率頻沒有改變。
結論
慢性高碳血症呼吸衰竭COPD患者使用非侵入性通氣合併肺部復健兩年可改善健康相關生活品質( HRQoL),情緒狀態,呼吸困難,氣體交換,運動耐受力和肺功能衰退,好處可隨時間增加。

The ACIF(Acute Care Index of Function)(急性照護功能指數) would be appropriate for the acute care neurological setting, index items were chosen and defined by experienced physical therapists involved in the assessment and treatment of patients with acute neurological disorders.

圖片來源:Physical Therapy 1988,68,1102-1108.

The mental status items were included to improve the instrument's ability to separate the patients by score into groups consistent with discharge placement. Mental status items are rated as either "yes" or "no" according to the presence or absence of the defined behavior.
The remaining three subsets address the patient's ability to perform various gross motor activities (Fig. 1). The 16 items within these three subsets were selected specifically for use with patients with acute neurologic disorders. Items with a low level of difficulty (eg, bed mobility) were included because we believed
that patients with acute neurologic disorders would demonstrate change in their ability to perform these
activities.


1. Unable—Patient cannot physically assist to perform the activity.
2. Dependent—Patient assists to perform the activity but requires physical or verbal assistance to complete
the activity.
3. Independent—Patient performs the activity meeting all stated criteria without verbal or physical assistance.




The rating "unable" a score of 0, "dependent" a score of 1, and "independent" a score of 2.

SF-36 健康生活品質量表,測量受試者對自己身心健康的看法,為一般性的心理測量工具,非針對特定的年齡、疾病或治療而設計。

原著作者:Dr. John Ware, 1996委由長庚大學盧瑞芬副教授負責台灣版使用授權,信效度介於0.62-0.96之間。

量表分為八個概念:

1.physical functioning
2.impact of physical health on role performance(role-physical)
3.pain
4.health perceptions
5.vitality
6.social functioning
7.mental health
8.impact of emotional health on role performance (role-emotional)

每個概念的分數從0-100,分數愈高,身體健康狀態愈好。
