中重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的危险因素分析及风险预测模型的构建

摘要 目的：分析中重度阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAHS）的危险因素并构建其风险预测模型。方法：选取2017年1月～2021年1月我院接受多导睡眠监测（PSG）的97例OSAHS患者,根据PSG结果分为中重度组46例和轻度组51例。收集所有患者临床资料,采用单因素和多因素Logistic回归分析中重度OSAHS的危险因素和构建风险预测模型,受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析中重度OSAHS风险预测模型的应用价值。结果：单因素分析显示,中重度组男性、收缩压、舒张压、颈围、糖尿病、高血压、高血脂、Mallampati分级Ⅲ～Ⅳ级的比例和体质指数（BMI）、Epworth嗜睡量表（ESS）评分、C反应蛋白、血尿酸高于轻度组（P均＜0.05）。多因素Logistic回归分析显示,男性、糖尿病、高血压、改良Mallampati分级Ⅲ～Ⅳ级和BMI升高、C反应蛋白升高、血尿酸升高为中重度OSAHS的独立危险因素（P均＜0.05）。中重度OSAHS风险预测模型方程y=-12.558+0.950×性别+ 0.030×BMI+1.808×糖尿病+0.046×高血压+1.787×改良Mallampati分级+1.925×C反应蛋白+0.570×血尿酸。ROC曲线分析显示,该模型预测中重度OSAHS的曲线下面积（AUC）、敏感度、特异度分别为0.914（95％CI：0.839～0.961）、80.43％、90.20％。结论：男性、BMI升高、糖尿病、高血压、改良Mallampati分级Ⅲ～Ⅳ级、C反应蛋白升高、血尿酸升高是中重度OSAHS的危险因素,根据上述因素构建的预测模型对中重度OSAHS具有良好的预测价值。     

Sleepiness,inflammation and oxidative stress markers in middle-aged males with obstructive sleep apnea without metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study

Background

The simultaneous occurrence of metabolic syndrome and excessive daytime sleepiness are very common in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Both conditions, if present in OSA, have been reported to be associated with inflammation and disruption of oxidative stress balance that impair the cardiovascular system. To verify the impact of daytime sleepiness on inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, we evaluated OSA patients without significant metabolic disturbance.

Methods

Thirty-five male subjects without diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (Adult Treatment Panel III) were distributed into a control group (n = 10) (43 ± 10.56 years, apnea-hypopnea index - AHI 2.71 ± 1.48/hour), a non-sleepy OSA group (n = 11) (42.36 ± 9.48 years, AHI 29.48 ± 22.83/hour) and a sleepy OSA group (n = 14) (45.43 ± 10.06 years, AHI 38.20 ± 25.54/hour). Excessive daytime sleepiness was considered when Epworth sleepiness scale score was ≥ 10. Levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, homocysteine and cysteine, and paraoxonase-1 activity and arylesterase activity of paraoxonase-1 were evaluated.

Results

Patients with OSA and excessive daytime sleepiness presented increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels even after controlling for confounders. No significant differences were found among the groups in paraoxonase-1 activity nor arylesterase activity of paraoxonase-1. AHI was independently associated and excessive daytime sleepiness tended to have an association with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.

Conclusions

In the absence of metabolic syndrome, increased inflammatory response was associated with AHI and daytime sleepiness, while OSA was not associated with abnormalities in oxidative stress markers.

目的：利用氢质子MRS（IH-MRS）探讨重度阻塞性呼吸睡眠暂停综合症（Severeobstructivesleepapneasyndrome,S-OSAS）患者前额叶皮质及岛叶脑代谢产物特征。方法：选择18例S-OSAS患者（S-OSAS组）和15名健康志愿者（HC组）行左侧前额叶皮质及岛叶1H-MRS检查,测量两组左侧前额叶皮质区及岛叶N-乙酰天冬氨酸／肌酸（NAA／Cr）、胆碱／肌酸（Cho／Cr）值。对患S-OSAS累计时间与前额叶皮质及岛叶NAA／Cr作直线相关分析。结果：与正常对照组相比,S-OSAS患者左侧前额叶皮质、岛叶NAA／Cr比值降低,分别为1．43±0．47、1．34±0．06,对照组分别为1．51±0．65、1．45±0．07;S-OSAS组患者左侧前额叶皮质、岛叶Cho／Cr分别为0．90±0．08、1．195：0．13,对照组分别为0．87±0．07、1．09±0．02,两组差异有统计学意义。前额叶皮质及岛叶代谢物NAA／Cr与患S-OSAS累计时间成负相关性（r值分别为-0．965、-0．955,P〈0．01）。结论：1H-MRS显示S-OSAS患者前额叶皮质及岛叶病理生理变化,从该区代谢物的改变反应出S-OSAS患者执行及情感功能的异常,其NAA/Cr改变程度与患S-OSAS累计时间相关。     

Gut microbial alterations in neonatal jaundice pre- and post-treatment

Neonatal jaundice is a common disease that affects up to 60% of newborns. Herein, we performed a comparative analysis of the gut microbiome in neonatal jaundice and non-neonatal jaundice infants (NJIs) and identified gut microbial alterations in neonatal jaundice pre- and post-treatment. We prospectively collected 232 fecal samples from 51 infants at five time points (0, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months). Finally, 114 samples from 6 NJIs and 19 non-NJI completed MiSeq sequencing and analysis. We characterized the gut microbiome and identified microbial differences and gene functions. Meconium microbial diversity from NJI was decreased compared with that from non-NJI. The genus Gemella was decreased in NJI versus non-NJI. Eleven predicted microbial functions, including fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase III and pyruvate carboxylase subunit B, decreased, while three functions, including acetyl-CoA acyltransferase, increased in NJI. After treatments, the microbial community presented significant alteration-based β diversity. The phyla Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were increased, while Proteobacteria and Fusobacteria were decreased. Microbial alterations were also analyzed between 6 recovered NJI and 19 non-NJI. The gut microbiota was unique in the meconium microbiome from NJI, implying that early gut microbiome intervention could be promising for the management of neonatal jaundice. Alterations of gut microbiota from NJI can be of great value to bolster evidence-based prevention against ‘bacterial dysbiosis’.

摘要 目的：研究磁共振胰胆管成像（MRCP）联合血清糖类抗原125（CA125）、糖类抗原19-9（CA19-9）、癌胚抗原（CEA）对良恶性梗阻性黄疸的诊断价值。方法：将医院从2018年1月～2020年2月期间收治的90例良恶性梗阻性黄疸患者纳入研究。将其按照良恶性的差异分为良性梗阻性黄疸51例以及恶性梗阻性黄疸39例。分别对所有患者进行MRCP检测,并分析良恶性梗阻性黄疸MRCP影像学表现特征的差异。此外,采集所有患者清晨空腹静脉血,检测血清CA125、CA19-9、CEA水平并进行对比。通过受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析明确MRCP联合血清CA125、CA19-9、CEA对良恶性梗阻性黄疸的诊断价值。结果：恶性梗阻性黄疸部位为十二指肠乳头区人数占比明显高于良性梗阻性黄疸,而胰头上区、胰头区人数占比均明显低于良性梗阻性黄疸;且恶性梗阻性黄疸梗阻重度扩张人数占比明显高于良性梗阻性黄疸,而梗阻轻度扩张人数占比明显低于良性梗阻性黄疸,差异均有统计学意义（均P＜0.05）。恶性梗阻性黄疸患者血清CA125、CEA水平均明显高于良性梗阻性黄疸患者（均P＜0.05）;而两组血清CA19-9水平对比不明显（P＞0.05）。MRCP联合血清CA125、CA19-9、CEA诊断良恶性梗阻性黄疸的曲线下面积、灵敏度、特异度、约登指数均明显高于MRCP和血清CA125、CA19-9、CEA单独诊断。结论：MRCP联合血清CA125、CA19-9、CEA对良恶性梗阻性黄疸的诊断价值较高,值得临床推广应用。

Association of cigarette smoking and CRP levels with DNA methylation in α-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and tobacco smoking are confirmed risk factors for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. We hypothesized that variable DNA methylation would be associated with smoking and inflammation, as reflected by the level of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in AAT-deficient subjects. Methylation levels of 1,411 autosomal CpG sites from the Illumina GoldenGate Methylation Cancer Panel I were analyzed in 316 subjects. Associations of five smoking behaviors and CRP levels with individual CpG sites and average methylation levels were assessed using non-parametric testing, linear regression and linear mixed effect models, with and without adjustment for age and gender. Univariate linear regression analysis revealed that methylation levels of 16 CpG sites significantly associated with ever-smoking status. A CpG site in the TGFBI gene was the only site associated with ever-smoking after adjustment for age and gender. No highly significant associations existed between age at smoking initiation, pack-years smoked, duration of smoking, and time since quitting smoking as predictors of individual CpG site methylation levels. However, ever-smoking and younger age at smoking initiation associated with lower methylation level averaged across all sites. DNA methylation at CpG sites in the RUNX3, JAK3 and KRT1 genes associated with CRP levels. The most significantly associated CpG sites with gender and age mapped to the CASP6 and FZD9 genes, respectively. In summary, this study identified multiple potential candidate CpG sites associated with ever-smoking and CRP level in AAT-deficient subjects. Phenotypic variability in Mendelian diseases may be due to epigenetic factors.
