Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship of both serum miR-210 and HIF-1 alpha levels with heart rate variability and lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A total of 120 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to our department from December 31, 2016 to January 1, 2017 were collected from venous blood during the stable phase and acute exacerbation phase of the disease, and the serum miR-210 and hif-1 alpha levels were detected. According to the classification of COPD, patients were divided into the mild group of 35 cases, the moderate group of 45 cases, and the severe group of 40 cases. The serum miR-210 and hif-1 alpha levels were compared with lung function indicators in 35 healthy subjects as control group. Comparison of pulmonary function parameters in acute exacerbation stage of copd; Comparison of heart rate variability among the four groups; Comparison of lung function among four groups; Relationship between heart rate variability and lung function. Results serum miR-210, HIF-1 alpha, and FEV1 /FVC levels in patients with acute exacerbation of copd were significantly lower than those in the stationary phase (P < 0.05). FEV1 had no significant change during the period of acute exacerbation (P > 0.05). Serum miR-210 was positively correlated with hif-1 alpha level in patients with acute exacerbation (r = 0.364, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (r = -0.375 and -0.287, both P < 0.05). Serum miR-210 was positively correlated with hif-1 alpha (r = 0.214, P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC in patients with stable stage (r = -0.345, P < 0.05). SDANN, r-mssd, SDNN, pNN50, HF and LF in the mild, moderate and severe groups were significantly increased compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The index of heart rate variability in the moderate group and the severe group was lower than that in the mild group (P < 0.05). The index of heart rate variability in the severe group was lower than that in the moderate group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF and other indicators of lung function in the mild, moderate and severe groups were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The indexes of pulmonary function in mild group and moderate group were significantly higher than those in severe group (P < 0.05). The index of pulmonary function in the mild group was significantly higher than that in the moderate group (P < 0.05). FVC was positively correlated with SDNN, SDANN, r-MSSD, pNN50, HF and LF in patients with copd (r = 0.734, 0.762, 0.758, 0.773, 0.765, 0.774, all P < 0.05). FEV1 was positively correlated with SDNN, SDANN, r-MSSD, pNN50, HF and LF (r = 0.782, 0.792, 0.781, 0.794, 0.801, all P < 0.05), FEV1/FVC was positively correlated with SDNN, SDANN, r-MSSD, pNN50, HF and LF (r = 0.784, 0.792, 0.784, 0.791, 0.812 and 0.783, P < 0.05). PEF as positively correlated with SDNN, SDANN, r-MSSD, pNN50, HF and LF(r = 0.764, 0.785, 0.773, 0.781, 0.775 and 0.783, all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis results showed that with the increase of variation indicators such as SDANN, r-mssd, SDNN, pNN50, HF and LF, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF and other pulmonary function indicators. Conclusion Serum miR-210 and HIF-1 alpha levels of COPD patients are correlated with heart rate variability and lung function, which can reflect the severity of the disease to some extent, and heart rate variability is also correlated with lung function, which can be used to predict the disease.
