Abstract

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) commonly exhibit muscle atrophy and dysfunction due to a reduction in muscle mass; and protein supplements such as chicken egg whites have been reported to improve muscle mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of physical exercise and egg white supplementation on the muscle mass of COPD patients. An experimental study was conducted among stable COPD patients at Universitas Sumatra Utara Hospital Medan, Indonesia, between August and October 2022. The patients were divided into two groups, control and interventional groups, with each patient subjected to a pre- and post-muscle mass assessment. All the patients performed respiratory endurance and upper extremity muscle strength training three times/week for a total of 12 weeks. In addition, the patients in the intervention group were also given egg white supplementation (10 eggs/day) during the period of intervention in addition to the physical training. The Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were performed to identify the significance of the difference between pre- and post-intervention and between the control and intervention groups, respectively. A total of 38 COPD patients were included in the study, 19 from each group. Our data suggested no significant difference in muscle mass of the patients in the control group before and after 12 weeks of physical exercise (pre-intervention 27.37±4.54% and post-intervention 27.68±4.5% with p=0.174). However, there was a significant muscle mass increment of patients in the intervention group upon 12 weeks of physical training and egg white supplementation (pre-intervention 27.18±4.15%, post-intervention 29.95±3.76%, p<0.001). A significant difference in muscle mass was observed between patients in the control and the intervention groups (p=0.046) after the intervention. The study highlights that physical exercise in combination with egg white supplementation may serve as potential and effective non-pharmacological treatment for muscle mass restoration in COPD patients as compared to physical exercise alone.

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is among top ten of the world's causes of death. The development of the “Paru Sehat” smartphone application is a positive initiative and might have the potential to improve the disease management of COPD, improve patient’s quality of life, and reduce complications associated with COPD. However, its effectiveness in improving the knowledge of the COPD patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of “Paru Sehat” in increasing knowledge on COPD and its non-pharmacological management in COPD patients. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest was conducted among stable COPD patients at Prof. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. Bristol COPD knowledge questionnaire (BCKQ) was used to assess the knowledge scores of the patients before and after exposure to the “Paru Sehat” twice a week for four weeks. A dependent Student t-test was used to compare the knowledge scores between pre- and post-intervention for both knowledge domains (i.e., knowledge on the disease and non-pharmacological management). Student t-test or one-way ANOVA were used to determine the association between patients’ characteristics and the knowledge scores within pre- and post-treatment. Our data indicated a significant improvement of the knowledge scores on disease between pre- and post-treatment (15.92±3.79 vs 19.56±3.68, p<0.001). The knowledge score on non-pharmacological management also increased significantly post-treatment (7.52±2.02) compared to pre-treatment (10.08±2.379), p<0.001. In addition, this study found that educational attainment was associated with the scores of both knowledge domains of which individuals with senior high school or higher education level had significantly improvement of knowledge scores. This study highlights that although “Paru Sehat” application could improve the knowledge on COPD and its non-pharmacological management, its effects are less effective among individuals with low educational attainment.

Abstract

Studies have suggested associations between inflammatory markers with the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, exercises that could reduce the level of inflammatory markers might be beneficial. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of upper arms and breathing exercises on inflammatory markers such as ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in severe COVID-19 patients. A quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test control group design was conducted among severe COVID-19 aged 18–70 years old, with or without comorbidities. Baseline data of inflammatory markers (ferritin, LDH, and CRP) were measured before the exercises and repeated post-exercise. The upper arm and breathing exercises were performed for ten days, twice a day (morning and evening) for ten minutes. A paired Student t-test was used to assess the changes in the inflammatory markers’ levels. Our data indicated that levels of ferritin and CRP were not significantly different between pre- and post-exercise. However, the level of LDH decreased significantly from 481.35 U/L to 331.80 U/L (p=0.001). This study highlights that pulmonary rehabilitation exercises might be beneficial to enhance the recovery process in severe COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Lack of physical exercise and inadequate nutritional intake in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients could lead to low muscle mass and function, which causes reduced respiratory function, increased incidence of exacerbations, exercise intolerance, increased visits to health facilities, and low health status. Therefore, physical exercise and good nutritional intake are the main foundations of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program for COPD patients. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of chicken egg white supplementation on dyspnea degree and the incidence of exacerbations in stable COPD patients who perform physical exercise independently at home. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 38 stable COPD patients based on the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease (GOLD) 2021 classification criteria. The patients were divided into two groups: the control group who did smartphone application-assisted physical exercises and the intervention group who did the same physical exercises plus chicken egg white supplementation for 12 weeks. Performed physical exercises included both strength and endurance training. The degree of dyspnea was assessed with modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale and the incidence of exacerbations was assessed by direct interviews at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. A Fisher’s exact test was used to assess the association between the intervention with dyspnea degree and exacerbation incidence. In the intervention group, chicken egg white supplementation for 12 weeks lowered the dyspnea degree by 3.16 times than the control (relative risk 3.16 with p=0.001). Furthermore, the incidence of exacerbations was also reduced by 1.8 times compared to the control group (relative risk 1.8, p=0.001). This study highlights a significant improvement in dyspnea degree and exacerbation incidence in COPD patients with the combination of protein supplementation and physical exercise. Therefore, adding chicken egg white intake could be beneficial for stable COPD patients practicing physical exercises.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been identified for more than two years, yet studies assessing post-infection lung function are limited. Reports on lung function in COVID-19 patients indicate that patients have restrictive defects and small airway dysfunction that can persist and are not necessarily related to the severity of the disease. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of small airway obstruction and its incidence-associated factors among COVID-19 survivors to better describe the long-term effects of COVID-19. A cross-sectional study was conducted among COVID-19 survivors who less than 50 years at Medan Adventist Hospital between 2020–2022. The data were collected through interview, direct assessment and respiratory examination. A total of 89 COVID-19 survivors were recruited of which the majority of them were female with a mean age of 32.6-year-old with the largest group was 19–30 years. The comorbidities found among the survivors were heart and thyroid disorders, with the most common symptom of post-COVID-19 was fatigue. Most of them had mild COVID-19. The mean forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25–75%) was 96.3±20.22, with an incidence rate of small airway obstruction was 19.1%. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated no significant association between age, gender, comorbidities, history of oxygenation during COVID-19 treatment, COVID-19 severity and the type of post COVID-19 syndrome symptoms with the incidence of small airway obstruction. In conclusion, among COVID-19 survivors who were less than 50 years old, those studied variables seems have less association with the incidence of small airway obstruction. Nevertheless, a further study with a bigger sample size is important to be conducted.

Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents a significant global challenge, impacting health systems, economies, and societies. Its prevalence is anticipated to rise owing to an aging demographic. Although the PUMA and CAPTURE questionnaires are available for COPD screening, their comparative effectiveness has not been studied in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PUMA and CAPTURE questionnaires as screening tools for COPD among smokers. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital and H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from December 2022 to February 2023. Smokers aged over 40 or above with a history of smoking more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and no previous COPD diagnosis were included in the study. To collect the responses to PUMA and CAPTURE questionnaire, face-to-face interviews were conducted, followed by a spirometry test. A total of 76 smokers were included in the study; the predominant age group was 51–60 years (36.8%), with the majority being male (81.6%). Most participants began smoking at ages 15−20 years (65.8%) and had been smoking for 20–30 years (36.8%) at a moderate intensity (44.8%). Spirometry tests indicated obstructive patterns in 50 participants, with 17 classified as severe obstruction. At a cut-off score of ≥6, the PUMA questionnaire yielded a sensitivity of 72.55% and a specificity of 84%. In contrast, the CAPTURE questionnaire, with a cut-off score of ≥4, exhibited a sensitivity of 70.83% and a specificity of 64.29%. These results imply that the PUMA questionnaire could be more efficient in COPD screening compared to the CAPTURE questionnaire.

Abstract

Systemic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) contributes to multimorbidity and a diminished quality of life. Probiotics, through the gut-lung axis, have shown potential to mitigate systemic inflammation; however, their specific role in COPD-related inflammation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in reducing serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels by enhancing butyric acid production in a murine model of COPD. An in vivo experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was conducted using 30 C57BL/6 mice randomized into five groups: non-COPD healthy control, untreated COPD, COPD treated with bronchodilator, COPD treated with probiotics, and COPD treated with a combination of bronchodilator and probiotics. COPD was induced by six weeks of cigarette smoke exposure, followed by six weeks of treatment while continuing the smoke exposure. Caecal butyric acid and serum IL-6 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gas chromatography, respectively. Caecal butyric acid levels were lowest in untreated COPD mice (1.2±0.28 mmol/L) and significantly increased with probiotic administration (6.6±4.43 mmol/L, p=0.010), exceeding levels observed in healthy controls (3.9±2.05 mmol/L). Serum IL-6 levels were highest in COPD-induced mice (19.4±6.71 pg/mL) and significantly reduced with administration of probiotics (13.5±0.43 pg/mL, p=0.035), approaching levels of healthy controls (13.0±2.24 pg/mL, p=0.847). A negative correlation was observed between butyric acid and serum IL-6 levels (r=-0.420; p=0.021), suggesting that higher butyric acid levels were associated with reduced systemic inflammation. These findings demonstrated that probiotics, via their metabolite butyric acid, effectively reduced systemic inflammation in a COPD mouse model, highlighting their potential as a therapeutic approach for managing COPD-related inflammation.
