Exercise capacity in patients with cystic fibrosis vs. non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Bronchiectasis is associated with morbidity, low exercise capacity and poor quality of life. There is a paucity of data on exercise capacity using cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis. Our aim was to compare exercise capacity using CPET in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients. METHODS:Cross-sectional retrospective/prospective controlled study assessing CPET using cycle ergometer. Exercise parameters and computed tomography (CT) findings were compared. Results: Hundred two patients with bronchiectasis and 88 controls were evaluated; 49 CF (age 19.7 ± 9.7 y/o, FEV1%predicted 70.9 ± 20.5%) and 53 non-CF (18.6 ± 10.6 y/o, FEV1%predicted 68.7 ± 21.5%). Peak oxygen uptake (peak [Formula: see text]) was similar and relatively preserved in both groups (CF 1915.5±702.0; non-CF 1740±568; control 2111.0±748.3 mL/min). Breathing limitation was found in the two groups vs. control; low breathing reserve (49% in CF; 43% non-CF; 5% control) and increased [Formula: see text] (CF 31.4±4.1, non-CF 31.7±4.1 and control 27.2 ± 2.8). Oxygen pulse was lower in the non-CF; whereas a linear relationship between peak [Formula: see text] vs. FEV1 and vs. FVC was found only for CF. CT score correlated with [Formula: see text] and negatively correlated with [Formula: see text] and post exercise oxygen saturation (SpO2). CONCLUSIONS:CPET parameters may differ between CF and non-CF bronchiectasis. However, normal exercise capacity may be found unrelated to the etiology of the bronchiectasis. Anatomical changes in CT are associated with functional finding of increased [Formula: see text] and decreased SpO2. Larger longitudinal studies including cardiac assessment are needed to better study exercise capacity in different etiologies of non-CF bronchiectasis.

Project description:Rationale: Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis is characterized by airway mucus accumulation and sputum production, but the role of mucus concentration in the pathogenesis of these abnormalities has not been characterized.Objectives: This study was designed to: 1) measure mucus concentration and biophysical properties of bronchiectasis mucus; 2) identify the secreted mucins contained in bronchiectasis mucus; 3) relate mucus properties to airway epithelial mucin RNA/protein expression; and 4) explore relationships between mucus hyperconcentration and disease severity.Methods: Sputum samples were collected from subjects with bronchiectasis, with and without chronic erythromycin administration, and healthy control subjects. Sputum percent solid concentrations, total and individual mucin concentrations, osmotic pressures, rheological properties, and inflammatory mediators were measured. Intracellular mucins were measured in endobronchial biopsies by immunohistochemistry and gene expression. MUC5B (mucin 5B) polymorphisms were identified by quantitative PCR. In a replication bronchiectasis cohort, spontaneously expectorated and hypertonic saline-induced sputa were collected, and mucus/mucin concentrations were measured.Measurements and Main Results: Bronchiectasis sputum exhibited increased percent solids, total and individual (MUC5B and MUC5AC) mucin concentrations, osmotic pressure, and elastic and viscous moduli compared with healthy sputum. Within subjects with bronchiectasis, sputum percent solids correlated inversely with FEV1 and positively with bronchiectasis extent, as measured by high-resolution computed tomography, and inflammatory mediators. No difference was detected in MUC5B rs35705950 SNP allele frequency between bronchiectasis and healthy individuals. Hypertonic saline inhalation acutely reduced non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis mucus concentration by 5%.Conclusions: Hyperconcentrated airway mucus is characteristic of subjects with bronchiectasis, likely contributes to disease pathophysiology, and may be a target for pharmacotherapy.

Project description:BackgroundAll-cause mortality risk and causes of death in bronchiectasis patients have not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the mortality risk and causes of death between individuals with bronchiectasis and those without bronchiectasis.MethodsPatients with or without bronchiectasis determined based on chest computed tomography (CT) at one centre between 2005 and 2016 were enrolled. Among the patients without bronchiectasis, a control group was selected after applying additional exclusion criteria. We compared the mortality risk and causes of death between the bronchiectasis and control groups without lung disease. Subgroup analyses were also performed according to identification of Pseudomonas or non-tuberculous mycobacteria, airflow limitation, and smoking status.ResultsOf the total 217,702 patients who underwent chest CT, 18,134 bronchiectasis patients and 90,313 non-bronchiectasis patients were included. The all-cause mortality rate in the bronchiectasis group was 1608.8 per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval (CI), 1531.5-1690.0), which was higher than that in the control group (133.5 per 100,000 person-years; 95% CI, 124.1-143.8; P?<?0.001). The bronchiectasis group had higher all-cause (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.26; 95% CI, 1.09-1.47), respiratory (aHR, 3.49; 95% CI, 2.21-5.51), and lung cancer-related (aHR, 3.48; 95% CI, 2.33-5.22) mortality risks than the control group. In subgroup analysis, patients with airflow limitation and ever smokers showed higher all-cause mortality risk among bronchiectasis patients. Therefore, we observed significant interrelation between bronchiectasis and smoking, concerning the risks of all-cause mortality (P for multiplicative interaction, 0.030, RERI, 0.432; 95% CI, 0.097-0.769) and lung cancer-related mortality (RERI, 8.68; 95% CI, 1.631-15.736).ConclusionIndividuals with bronchiectasis had a higher risk of all-cause, respiratory, and lung cancer-related mortality compared to control group. The risk of all-cause mortality was more prominent in those with airflow limitation and in ever smokers.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging experimental and epidemiological evidence highlights a crucial cross-talk between the intestinal flora and the lungs, termed the "gut-lung axis". However, the function of the gut microbiota in bronchiectasis remains undefined. In this study, we aimed to perform a multi-omics-based approach to identify the gut microbiome and metabolic profiles in patients with bronchiectasis.MethodsFecal samples collected from non-CF bronchiectasis patients (BE group, n = 61) and healthy volunteers (HC group, n = 37) were analyzed by 16 S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing. The BE group was divided into two groups based on their clinical status: acute exacerbation (AE group, n = 31) and stable phase (SP group, n = 30). Further, metabolome (lipid chromatography-mass spectrometry, LC-MS) analyses were conducted in randomly selected patients (n = 29) and healthy volunteers (n = 31).ResultsDecreased fecal microbial diversity and differential microbial and metabolic compositions were observed in bronchiectasis patients. Correlation analyses indicated associations between the differential genera and clinical parameters such as bronchiectasis severity index (BSI). Disease-associated gut microbiota was screened out, with eight genera exhibited high accuracy in distinguishing SP patients from HCs in the discovery cohort and validation cohort using a random forest model. Further correlation networks were applied to illustrate the relations connecting disease-associated genera and metabolites.ConclusionThe study uncovered the relationships among the decreased fecal microbial diversity, differential microbial and metabolic compositions in bronchiectasis patients by performing a multi-omics-based approach. It is the first study to characterize the gut microbiome and metabolome in bronchiectasis, and to uncover the gut microbiota's potentiality as biomarkers for bronchiectasis.Trial registration This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04490447.
