Objective: To observe the clinical effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhalation in treating patients with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods: 67 patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into two group. The control group(n=33)received conventional therapy,while the NAC group(n=34)received additional NAC inhalation. The clinical efficacy, pulmonary function(FEV1% prd,FEV1/FVC%), blood gas analysis (oxygenation index,PaCO2)before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. the changes in inflammation levels(CRP,PCT) and oxidative stress levels(SOD,MDA) were measured. Results: The excellent effective rate, effective rate and total effective rate of the NAC group were better than those of the control group. Both groups improved pulmonary function after treatment, and the improvement of the NAC group was better than that of the control group(all P<0.05). In terms of blood gas, the oxygenation index of the two groups increased before and after treatment, and the oxygenation index of the NAC group recovered significantly compared with the control group after treatment(Δoxygenation index 22.51±6.82 vs. 31.77±8.07,t=5.066,P<0.01). The decrease in the NAC group was more significant after treatment with inflammation levels[ΔCRP-(13.76±4.78) vs.-(21.62±6.77),t=5.475,P<0.01;ΔPCT-(1.54±0.34) vs.-(2.34±0.56),t=7.042,P<0.01]. In terms of oxidative stress indicators, there was no significant difference in SOD and MDA between the two groups before treatment. After treatment the increase in SOD in the NAC group was higher than that in the control group(ΔSOD 22.70±5.38 vs. 8.45±2.11, t=14.191, P<0.01). The MDA value of the NAC group decreased significantly than that of the control group[ΔMDA -(5.51±1.29) vs. -(2.12±0.54),t=13.954,P<0.05]. The prognosis of the NAC group was better than that of the control group. Conclusion: NAC inhalation treatment of AECOPD patients can effectively improve pulmonary function and oxygenation, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. |
