The association between smoking and HIV disease progression has been examined in several studies; however, findings have been inconsistent. We examined the effect of recent cigarette smoking on CD4(+) T cell count/μl (CD4 count) and HIV RNA concentration (HIV viral load (VL)) among two HIV-infected cohorts with alcohol problems in Massachusetts in the periods 1997-2001 and 2001-2006 using a prospective cohort design and linear mixed models. Smoking groups were defined as: minimal or non-smokers, light smokers, moderate smokers, and heavy smokers. Age, alcohol use, injection drug use, depressive symptoms, gender, annual income, and antiretroviral therapy adherence were considered as potential confounders. Among 462 subjects, no significant differences in CD4 count or VL were found between smoking groups. Using minimal or non-smokers as the reference group, the adjusted mean differences in CD4 count were: 8.2 (95% confidence interval (CI): -17.4, 33.8) for heavy smokers; -0.1 (95% CI: -25.4, 5.1) for moderate smokers; and -2.6 (95% CI: -28.3, 3.0) for light smokers. For log10 VL, the adjusted differences were: 0.03 (95% CI: -0.12, 0.17) for heavy smokers; -0.06 (95% CI: -0.20, 0.08) for moderate smokers; and 0.14 (95% CI -0.01, 0.28) for light smokers. This study did not find an association between smoking cigarettes and HIV disease progression as measured by CD4 cell count and VL.  相似文献

AIMS: To compare the burden of cardiovascular disease in terms of lifetime risk and life years lived with disease between smokers and non-smokers. METHODS AND RESULTS: We constructed multi-state life tables describing transitions through various cardiovascular diseases for 4723 smokers and non-smokers observed during 20 biannual observations in the Original Framingham Heart Study. Non-smokers live 8.66 (95% CI 7.61-9.63) (men) and 7.59 (95% CI 6.33-8.92) (women) years longer than smokers and more years free of cardiovascular disease: 6.22 (95% CI 5.09-7.30) years for males and 4.93 (95% CI 3.54-6.29) for females. But non-smokers spend more years with cardiovascular disease over the life course: 2.43 (95% CI 1.72-3.16) years for males and 2.66 (95% CI 1.87-3.38) years for females. The risk of cardiovascular disease before age 70 is higher among smokers, but over the entire lifecourse male non-smokers have higher risks of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke and congestive heart failure, and female non-smokers have higher risks of coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure. CONCLUSION: Smoking, by shortening life, decreases both the probability and duration of cardiovascular disease throughout the life course. Non-smokers live many years longer and longer free of cardiovascular disease than smokers, but at the end of their life non-smokers will have lived longer with cardiovascular disease.  相似文献

Smoking induces airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Bronchial provocation with mannitol is used to identify AHR in subjects with asthma. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of airway hyperresponsiveness to mannitol in asymptomatic smokers compared to non-smokers and to assess if airway responsiveness to mannitol changes after smoking cessation. Airway responsiveness to inhaled mannitol was measured in smokers (n=42), and non-smokers (n=45). In smokers, the mannitol test was repeated 3 months after smoking cessation. Demographics including age, lung function and atopy status were similar for smokers and non-smokers (p=ns). Compared with non-smokers (2.2%), AHR to mannitol expressed by 15%> or = fall in FEV(1) was significantly more common in smokers (26.2%) (p=0.001). The provoking dose to induce a 15%> or = fall in FEV(1) (PD(15)), a measure of sensitivity, was median [IQR] 291 mg [207-377] in the 11 positive smokers. The response-dose ratio (RDR) (% fall in FEV(1)/cumulative dose), a measure of reactivity, was significantly higher in smokers (0.013 [0.006-0.029]) compared with non-smokers (0.004 [0.002-0.007]), (p<0.0001). After successful smoking cessation, the RDR decreased in most cases (p=0.01) and only one patient still recorded a 15% fall in FEV(1). None of the patients with a negative mannitol test turned positive, irrespective of the outcome of smoking cessation. AHR to mannitol is quite common in smokers compared to non-smokers and decreases significantly after smoking cessation. Thus, the mannitol test may be sensitive to non-asthmatic inflammation of the airways.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between smoking and respiratory symptoms, lung function and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in young adults in Chile. SETTING: Selected sample of 1232 subjects aged 22-28 years. DESIGN: In this cross-sectional study, the outcome measures were: respiratory symptoms, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% (FEF25-75), FEV1/FVC and BHR. RESULTS: Among the 1232 subjects, 67.7% of the men and 49.4% of the women were smokers; the median cigarettes smoked per day was four for men and three for women. Smoking was associated with wheezing, waking up with a cough, breathlessness following exercise and persistent cough, with odds ratios (OR) between 1.94 (95% CI 1.41-2.66) and 3.12 (95% CI 2.21-4.40) among those smoking > or = 5 cigarettes per day, compared to non-smokers. Smoking < 5 cigarettes was significantly associated with wheezing and waking up with a cough. Smokers had a lower FEV1/FVC than non-smokers by approximately 0.8%. Smoking was not associated with FEV1, FEF25-75 or BHR status. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the early effects of smoking on respiratory symptoms. It could help governments in Latin America take vigorous action to deter young people from starting smoking.  相似文献

Total nitrite/nitrate in expired breath condensate of patients with asthma.   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Production of nitric oxide (NO) is generally increased during inflammatory diseases including asthma. The eventual fate of NO is oxidation to nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3), both of which are end-products of NO metabolism. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is increased in exhaled breath condensate of asthmatic subjects and may be used as a non-invasive marker of oxidative stress. NO has in some cases been shown to attenuate oxidant-induced lung injury. Total NO2/NO3 concentration and H2O2 levels were measured in expired breath condensate in 50 clinically stable asthmatics [all males, all atopics, mean age 22 (3) SD yrs, forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) 91 (10)% predicted, PD20 to histamine 0.262 (0.16) mg 20 on inhaled steroids, 20 smokers, all steroid-naive] and in 10 normal, non-atopic subjects [all males, age 23 (4) yrs, FEV1 101 (14)% predicted, PD20 to histamine 1.3 (0.55) mg]. NO2/NO3 levels were significantly higher in patients with asthma than in normal subjects (1.08, 95% CI 0.86-1.3 microM vs. 0.6; 95% CI 0.46-0.8, P < 0.001). Patients who were on inhaled steroids had significantly ower values compared to steroid-naive (0.71, 95% CI 0.55-0.87 microM vs. 133, 95% CI 1-1.65 microM, P < 0.001). Similar results were observed between smokers and non-smokers (1.11, 95% CI 0.74-1.47 microM vs. 1.77, 95% CI 1.1-24 microM, P < 0.0001).There was a significant positive correlation between NO2/NO3 levels and H2O2 concentration in expired breath condensate (r = 0.48, P < 0.0001). No correlation was observed between NO2/NO3 levels, airway obstruction and bronchial hyper-reactivity as assessed by PD20 to histamine. Total NO2/NO3 levels in expired breath condensate are raised in patients with stable asthma and are significantly related to oxidative stress as assessed by H2O2 concentration. Measurement of expired breath NO2/NO3 and H2O2 levels may be clinically useful in the management of oxidation and inflammation mediated lung injury.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of arterial stiffness, especially in the aorta, and a marker for vascular damage. Smoking is reported to increase arterial stiffness. We examined the acute and chronic effects of smoking on arterial stiffness by measuring brachial--ankle PWV (baPWV) using an oscillometric method (VP 1000, Colin Co., Komaki, Japan). METHODS: All healthy male subjects (chronic smokers, n=40, 30.3 years old vs non-smokers, n=40, 28.3 years old) smoked two cigarettes (nicotine 1.5 mg) within 10 min and measured blood pressure (BP), heart rate and baPWV at baseline, 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min and compared with controls (n=20, 29.3 years old). RESULTS: Systolic BP was higher in chronic smokers than non-smokers or controls. Smoking increased the systolic and diastolic BP and heart rate significantly at 5 min in both chronic smokers and non-smokers as compared with baseline levels or controls (respectively, p<0.001) and returned to baseline level at 15 min. Pulse pressure did not increase significantly. baPWV increased significantly in both chronic smokers and non-smokers at 5 min (12.1--17.3 m/s vs 11.1--12.7 m/sec, respectively) and remained higher for 30 min compared with controls (p<0.001). Smoking increased baPWV to a greater extent in chronic smokers than in non-smokers (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Acutely, cigarette smoking increased BP, heart rate and baPWV in chronic smokers and non-smokers. These effects were more prominent in chronic smokers than in non-smokers. These findings suggest that cigarette smoking have deleterious effects on cardiovascular system by stiffening arteries.  相似文献

The present study was aimed to examine associations of current and ex-smoking status with obesity and diabetes among elderly people. Nationwide study of Finnish elderly people based on biennial surveys from 1985 to 1995, were used to study 7482 people aged 65-79 years. Smoking status included non-, ex-light, ex-heavy, current light, and current heavy smokers. Obesity was set as body mass index (BMI) > or = 30. Information of smoking, BMI, and diabetes was based on self-reports. Logistic regression was used as the main method of analyses. Compared to non-smokers (reference category), ex-heavy smokers had higher (odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval: 1.09, 1.85) and current light smokers (OR, 0.46; 95% CI: 0.31, 0.69) lower relative risk of obesity. Current light smokers had also lower and ex-heavy smokers higher rate of diabetes than non-smokers. Ex-heavy smokers had a higher risk of obesity (OR, 1.75; 95% CI: 1.30, 2.36) and diabetes (OR, 1.48; 95% CI: 1.10, 2.01) than ex-light smokers. Same pattern for current smokers was found. Heavy ex- and current elderly smokers are at risk of obesity and diabetes. Thus, heavy smokers should be emphasized in programs promoting smoking cessation.  相似文献

AIMS: The risk of early and late death in relation to smoking and ex-smoking were studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cohort of 1711 Finnish men born between 1900 and 1919 were recruited in 1959 and followed up for 35 years. Information on smoking status was collected at each of six examinations made from 1959 to 1989 using a standardized questionnaire. Vital status at the end of 1994 was collected for every man. The effect of smoking on mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards model. Adjusted ratios for 35-year all-cause mortality were 1.62 (95% CI 1.40-1.88) in current smokers and 1.13 (CI 0.93-1.36) in former smokers compared with non-smokers. The hazards ratios for 35-year coronary heart disease mortality were 1. 63 (CI 1.24-2.13) and 1.39 (CI 1.00-1.94), respectively. The risk for 10 year mortality was stronger than for 35 year mortality among both former and current smokers, given the same amount of cigarettes consumed. Men smoking persistently were most at risk, while those who persisted in quitting had no increased risk of death compared with non-smokers. CONCLUSION: Smoking increases the risk of premature death in middle-aged men and giving up smoking earlier in life can prevent smoking attributable premature death.  相似文献
