The present study was undertaken to examine the association between intermittent hypoxia and left ventricular (LV) remodeling and explore which parameter of intermittent hypoxia is most relevant to LV remodeling in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Two hundred eighty six patients underwent polysomnographic examination were enrolled. Based on apnea-hypoxia index (AHI), patients were divided into no, mild, moderate and severe OSAHS groups. Between-group differences in LV remodeling and the association between parameters of intermittent hypoxia and LV remodeling was evaluated. Patients with severe OSAHS were more likely to have hypertension, and higher values of LV mass (LVM) and LVM index (LVMI). In univariate regression analysis, male, body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), statins, antihypertensive drugs, creatinine, and parameters of intermittent hypoxia (AHI, obstructive apnea index [OAI], lowest oxygen saturation [LSpO2], oxygen desaturation index [ODI], time spent below oxygen saturation of 90% [TS90%], and mean nocturnal oxygen saturation [MSpO2]) were associated with LVMI. After multivariate regression analyses, only male gender, BMI, systolic BP, creatinine, and ODI remained significantly associated with LVMI. Compared to those without LV hypertrophy (LVH), patients with LVH had higher ODI. Compared to patients with normal LV, concentric remodeling and eccentric LVH, those with concentric LVH had higher ODI. In conclusion, intermittent hypoxia was significantly associated with left ventricular remodeling; and among various parameters of intermittent hypoxia, ODI was the most relevant to LV remodeling.

Objectives. To investigate predictors of surgical outcomes of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Study Design. Case series with planned data collection. Setting. A university medical center. Subjects and Methods. Thirty-nine patients with OSAHS received Z-palatopharyngoplasty (ZPPP) or Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (H-UPPP). All patients were evaluated within 3 months before surgery and at 6 to 12 months after surgery. Statistical analyses were conducted on preoperative parameters that could have affected surgical efficacy and outcome. Success was defined as an apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) fewer than 20 times per hour and a decrease of more than 50%. Results. The success rate was 56.4% (22/39 patients). There were statistically significant differences in AHI, lowest oxygen saturation (L-Sao2), time with oxygen saturation less than 90% (CT90), percentage of time with oxygen saturation less than 90% (CT90%), microarousal index (MI), apolipoprotein E (ApoE), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and Friedman OSA stage between the treatment success and failure groups. Higher success rate was predicted by lower severity, as indicated by lower AHI, CT90, CT90%, and MI; higher L-Sao2; and fewer glucose and lipid metabolism abnormalities, shown by lower ApoE and FBG and higher HDL. Conclusions. Disease severity, glucose and lipid metabolism, and Friedman OSA stage may be important predictors of surgical outcome of UPPP for OSAHS.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of edaravone on cognitive impairment and hippocampal injury in juvenile rats with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and the mechanism involved.Methods: Fifty-four young Wistar rats were randomly selected into control, intermittent hypoxia and edaravone groups. The contents of the antioxidants CAT, Mn-SOD, Cu/Zn SOD and oxidative stress products malondialdehyde (MDA) in hippocampus were assayed and compared. The expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), Bcl-2, CREB, p-CREB and PKAc were determined.Results: The times taken to cross the target quadrant and the platform; levels of CAT and Mn-SOD, as well as protein levels of BNDF, Bcl-2, p-CREB and PKAc were markedly lower in intermittent hypoxia group than in controls; and MDA contents, 8-OHdG and protein hydroxyl were markedly higher in intermittent hypoxic rats group than in controls. Time taken to cross the platform and quadrant; activities of CAT and Mn-SOD, and protein concentrations of BDNF, Bcl-2, p-CREB and PKAc were markedly higher in the edaravone-treated rats than in intermittent hypoxia rats.Conclusion: Edaravone significantly mitigated cognitive damage and hippocampal lesions in OSAHS rats via a mechanism related to alleviation of oxidative stress and up-regulation of the expressions of p-CREB and its downstream proteins BDNF and Bcl-2. This finding provides a theoretical basis for research and development of new drugs against OSAHS.

Background/Aim. It is necessary to find eligible oxidative stress markers for predicting the severity of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), a sleep disorder-related respiratory disease. We aimed to explore the correlation between oxidative stress and cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients. Methods. A total of 220 eligible patients were divided into snoring, mild to moderate OSAHS and severe OSAHS groups according to polysomnography (PSG). Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and baseline data were monitored. Oxidative stress indices were measured by colorimetry in early morning. They were divided into normal cognitive and cognitive impairment groups based on Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Independent risk factors for cognitive impairment were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Correlation between oxidative stress and cognitive impairment was analyzed by Pearson?s method. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the efficiency of oxidative stress combined with detection for assessing the cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients. Results. Snoring, mild to moderate OSAHS and severe OSAHS groups had significantly different snoring loudness, BMI, AHI, ODI, MoCA and MMSE scores, and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) (P<0.05). Cognitive impairment and normal cognitive groups had different BMI, GSH-Px, MDA and SOD levels, neuroglobin, hypoxia-inducible factor, AHI and lowest nocturnal oxygen saturation (P<0.05 or P<0.01). BMI, GSH-Px, MDA, SOD, neuroglobin, hypoxia-inducible factor, AHI and lowest nocturnal oxygen saturation were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment. The MoCA and MMSE scores of cognitive impairment had positive correlations with GSH-Px and SOD, but negative correlations with MDA (P<0.05). AUCs of GSH-Px, MDA, SOD and their combination for prediction were 0.670, 0.702, 0.705 and 0.836, respectively. Conclusion. Oxidative stress may be the biochemical basis of cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients.
