Sequential lung function tests were performed on 17 scleroderma patients who were treated with D-penicillamine (DP) (total of 66 treatment years) and on 10 control scleroderma patients who were not treated or were treated with low-dose prednisone (total of 25 treatment years). Cusum plots showed significant differences between the 2 groups in their cumulative changes in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) (P less than 0.005) and in DLCO/lung volume (P less than 0.02). The end value of the DLCO was greater than 10% lower than the initial value in 3 of the 17 DP-treated patients versus 5 of the 10 control patients (P less than 0.01, Fisher's exact probability test); in 3 DP-treated patients and 8 control patients (P less than 0.003, Fisher's exact probability test), the end value of the DLCO/lung volume was greater than 10% lower than the initial value. We conclude that DP has a beneficial effect on interstitial lung disease in patients with scleroderma.
对17例接受青霉胺(DP)治疗(总计66个治疗年)的硬皮病患者以及10例未接受治疗或接受小剂量泼尼松治疗(总计25个治疗年)的对照硬皮病患者进行了序贯肺功能测试。累积和图显示,两组在一氧化碳弥散量(DLCO)的累积变化(P<0.005)以及DLCO/肺容积方面(P<0.02)存在显著差异。17例接受DP治疗的患者中有3例DLCO的终值比初始值低10%以上,而10例对照患者中有5例(P<0.01,Fisher精确概率检验);在3例接受DP治疗的患者和8例对照患者中(P<0.003,Fisher精确概率检验),DLCO/肺容积的终值比初始值低10%以上。我们得出结论,DP对硬皮病患者的间质性肺病有有益作用。
