Abstract:Objective To observe the phenomenon of abnorma1 g1ucose to1erance in patients with COPD,and to exp1ore the re1ationship between impaired g1ucose to1erance and Th1/Th2 1ymphocytes imba1ance.Methods Ora1 g1ucose to1erance test was carried out for 86 cases with COPD in stab1e stage from 1 January to 31 December 2015,fasting p1asma g1ucose (FPG)and 2 h p1asma g1ucose (2 hPG)were detected and compared with that of heath contro1 group.At the same time,the serum 1eve1 of IFN_γ and IL_4,which ref1ected the function of Th1 and Th2 1ymphocyte respective1y,were detected and compared with that of heath contro1 group.At 1ast,the corre1ation between IFN_γ and IL_4 and FPG and 2 hPG was studied.Results The 1eve1 of FPG and 2 hFPG was significant1y higher in COPD patients than that in hea1th contro1 group respective1y(P<0.05).The serum 1eve1 of IFN_γ increased and IL_4 decreased in COPD when compared with hea1th contro1 group(P<0.05).IFN_γ was positive1y corre1ated with FPG and 2 hPG in COPD patients(r= 0.4237,0.5316,P<0.05);IL_4 was negative1y corre1ated with FPG and 2 hPG in COPD patients(r=_0.3891,_0.3625,P<0.05).Conclusion An impaired g1ucose to1erance exists in stab1e COPD and the predominance of Th1 is responsib1e for this phenomenon.
