The repetitive upper airway muscle atonic episodes and cardiovascular sequelae of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) suggest dysfunction of specific neural sites that integrate afferent airway signals with autonomic and somatic outflow. We determined neural responses to the Valsalva maneuver by using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Images were collected during a baseline and three Valsalva maneuvers in 8 drug-free OSA patients and 15 controls. Multiple cortical, midbrain, pontine, and medullary regions in both groups showed intensity changes correlated to airway pressure. In OSA subjects, the left inferior parietal cortex, superior temporal gyrus, posterior insular cortex, cerebellar cortex, fastigial nucleus, and hippocampus showed attenuated signal changes compared with controls. Enhanced responses emerged in the left lateral precentral gyrus, left anterior cingulate, and superior frontal cortex of OSA patients. The anterior cingulate, cerebellar cortex, and posterior insula exhibited altered response timing patterns between control and OSA subjects. The response patterns in OSA subjects suggest deficits in particular neural pathways that normally mediate the Valsalva maneuver and compensatory actions in other structures. 相似文献

Response to inspiratory resistive loading during sleep in normal children and children with obstructive apnea. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The response to inspiratory resistance loading (IRL) of the upper airway during sleep in children is not known. We, therefore, evaluated the arousal responses to IRL during sleep in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) compared with controls. Children with OSAS aroused at a higher load than did controls (23 +/- 8 vs. 15 +/- 7 cmH(2)O. l(-1). s; P < 0.05). Patients with OSAS had higher arousal thresholds during rapid eye movement (REM) vs. non-REM sleep (P < 0.001), whereas normal subjects had lower arousal thresholds during REM (P < 0.005). Ventilatory responses to IRL were evaluated in the controls. There was a marked decrease in tidal volume both immediately (56 +/- 17% of baseline at an IRL of 15 cmH(2)O. l(-1). min; P < 0.001) and after 3 min of IRL (67 +/- 23%, P < 0.005). The duty cycle increased. We conclude that children with OSAS have impaired arousal responses to IRL. Despite compensatory changes in respiratory timing, normal children have a decrease in minute ventilation in response to IRL during sleep. However, arousal occurs before gas-exchange abnormalities. 相似文献

We wished to determine the severity of posthypoxic ventilatory decline in patients with sleep apnea relative to normal subjects during sleep. We studied 11 men with sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome and 11 normal men during non-rapid eye movement sleep. We measured EEG, electrooculogram, arterial O(2) saturation, and end-tidal P(CO2). To maintain upper airway patency in patients with sleep apnea, nasal continuous positive pressure was applied at a level sufficient to eliminate apneas and hypopneas. We compared the prehypoxic control (C) with posthypoxic recovery breaths. Nadir minute ventilation in normal subjects was 6.3 +/- 0.5 l/min (83.8 +/- 5.7% of room air control) vs. 6.7 +/- 0.9 l/min, 69.1 +/- 8.5% of room air control in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients; nadir minute ventilation (% of control) was lower in patients with OSA relative to normal subjects (P < 0.05). Nadir tidal volume was 0.55 +/- 0.05 liter (80.0 +/- 6.6% of room air control) in OSA patients vs. 0.42 +/- 0.03 liter, 86.5 +/- 5.2% of room air control in normal subjects. In addition, prolongation of expiratory time (Te) occurred in the recovery period. There was a significant difference in Te prolongation between normal subjects (2.61 +/- 0.3 s, 120 +/- 11.2% of C) and OSA patients (5.6 +/- 1.5 s, 292 +/- 127.6% of C) (P < 0.006). In conclusion, 1) posthypoxic ventilatory decline occurred after termination of hypocapnic hypoxia in normal subjects and patients with sleep apnea and manifested as decreased tidal volume and prolongation of Te; and 2) posthypoxic ventilatory prolongation of Te was more pronounced in patients with sleep apnea relative to normal subjects. 相似文献

Repetitive hypoxia followed by persistently increased ventilatory motor output is referred to as long-term facilitation (LTF). LTF is activated during sleep after repetitive hypoxia in snorers. We hypothesized that LTF is activated in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Eleven subjects with OSA (apnea/hypopnea index = 43.6 +/- 18.7/h) were included. Every subject had a baseline polysomnographic study on the appropriate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP was retitrated to eliminate apnea/hypopnea but to maintain inspiratory flow limitation (sham night). Each subject was studied on 2 separate nights. These two studies are separated by 1 mo of optimal nasal CPAP treatment for a minimum of 4-6 h/night. The device was capable of covert pressure monitoring. During night 1 (N1), study subjects used nasal CPAP at suboptimal pressure to have significant air flow limitation (>60% breaths) without apneas/hypopneas. After stable sleep was reached, we induced brief isocapnic hypoxia [inspired O(2) fraction (FI(O(2))) = 8%] (3 min) followed by 5 min of room air. This sequence was repeated 10 times. Measurements were obtained during control, hypoxia, and at 5, 20, and 40 min of recovery for ventilation, timing (n = 11), and supraglottic pressure (n = 6). Upper airway resistance (Rua) was calculated at peak inspiratory flow. During the recovery period, there was no change in minute ventilation (99 +/- 8% of control), despite decreased Rua to 58 +/- 24% of control (P < 0.05). There was a reduction in the ratio of inspiratory time to total time for a breath (duty cycle) (0.5 to 0.45, P < 0.05) but no effect on inspiratory time. During night 2 (N2), the protocol of N1 was repeated. N2 revealed no changes compared with N1 during the recovery period. In conclusion, 1) reduced Rua in the recovery period indicates LTF of upper airway dilators; 2) lack of hyperpnea in the recovery period suggests that thoracic pump muscles do not demonstrate LTF; 3) we speculate that LTF may temporarily stabilize respiration in OSA patients after repeated apneas/hypopneas; and 4) nasal CPAP did not alter the ability of OSA patients to elicit LTF at the thoracic pump muscle. 相似文献

Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Recent evidence indicates that alterations in upper airway anatomy and disturbances in neuromuscular control both play a role in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. We hypothesized that subjects without sleep apnea are more capable of mounting vigorous neuromuscular responses to upper airway obstruction than subjects with sleep apnea. To address this hypothesis we lowered nasal pressure to induce upper airway obstruction to the verge of periodic obstructive hypopneas (cycling threshold). Ten patients with obstructive sleep apnea and nine weight-, age-, and sex-matched controls were studied during sleep. Responses in genioglossal electromyography (EMG(GG)) activity (tonic, peak phasic, and phasic EMG(GG)), maximal inspiratory airflow (V(I)max), and pharyngeal transmural pressure (P(TM)) were assessed during similar degrees of sustained conditions of upper airway obstruction and compared with those obtained at a similar nasal pressure under transient conditions. Control compared with sleep apnea subjects demonstrated greater EMG(GG), V(I)max, and P(TM) responses at comparable levels of mechanical and ventilatory stimuli at the cycling threshold, during sustained compared with transient periods of upper airway obstruction. Furthermore, the increases in EMG(GG) activity in control compared with sleep apnea subjects were observed in the tonic but not the phasic component of the EMG response. We conclude that sustained periods of upper airway obstruction induce greater increases in tonic EMG(GG), V(I)max, and P(TM) in control subjects. Our findings suggest that neuromuscular responses protect individuals without sleep apnea from developing upper airway obstruction during sleep. 相似文献

Heart rate variability (HRV) is mediated by at least three primary mechanisms: 1) vagal feedback from pulmonary stretch receptors (PSR), 2) central medullary coupling between respiratory and cardiovagal neurons (RCC), and 3) arterial baroreflex (ABR)-induced fluctuations. We employed a noninvasive experimental protocol in conjunction with a minimal model to determine how these sources of HRV are altered in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure were monitored in eight normal subjects and nine untreated OSAS patients in relaxed wakefulness and stage 2 and rapid eye movement sleep. A computer-controlled ventilator delivered inspiratory pressures that varied randomly from breath to breath. Application of the model to the corresponding subject responses allowed the delineation of the three components of HRV. In all states, RCC gain was lower in OSAS patients than in normal subjects (P < 0.04). ABR gain was also reduced in OSAS patients (P < 0.03). RCC and ABR gains increased from wakefulness to sleep (P < 0.04). However, there was no difference in PSR gain between subject groups or across states. The findings of this study suggest that the adverse autonomic effects of OSAS include impairment of baroreflex gain and central respiratory-cardiovascular coupling, but the component of respiratory sinus arrhythmia that is mediated by lung vagal feedback remains intact. 相似文献

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients exhibit altered sympathetic outflow, which may reveal mechanisms underlying the syndrome. We used functional MRI (fMRI) in 16 control and 10 OSA subjects who were free of cardiovascular or mood-altering drugs to examine neural responses to a forehead cold pressor challenge, which elicits respiratory slowing, bradycardia, and enhanced sympathetic outflow. The magnitude of cold-induced bradycardia was smaller, and respiratory slowing showed greater intersubject variability and reached a nadir later in OSA patients. Both groups showed similar signal changes to cold stimulation in multiple brain sites. However, signal increases emerged in OSA over controls in anterior and posterior cingulate and cerebellar and frontal cortex, whereas signals markedly declined in the ventral thalamus, hippocampus, and insula rather than rising as in controls. Anomalous responses often paralleled changes in breathing and heart rate. Medullary, midbrain areas and lentiform and cerebellar dentate nuclei also showed lower signals in OSA cases. Cold pressor physiological responses are modified in OSA and may result from both diminished and exaggerated responses in multiple brain structures. 相似文献

Background
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are reported to have a peak of sudden cardiac death at night, in contrast to patients without apnea whose peak is in the morning. We hypothesized that ventricular premature contraction (VPC) frequency would correlate with measures of apnea and sympathetic activity.Methods
Electrocardiograms from a sleep study of 125 patients with coronary artery disease were evaluated. Patients were categorized by apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) into Moderate (AHI <15) or Severe (AHI>15) apnea groups. Sleep stages studied were Wake, S1, S2, S34, and rapid eye movement (REM). Parameters of a potent autonomically-based risk predictor for sudden cardiac death called heart rate turbulence were calculated.Results
There were 74 Moderate and 51 Severe obstructive sleep apnea patients. VPC frequency was affected significantly by sleep stage (Wake, S2 and REM, F=5.8, p<.005) and by AHI (F=8.7, p<.005). In Severe apnea patients, VPC frequency was higher in REM than in Wake (p=.011). In contrast, patients with Moderate apnea had fewer VPCs and exhibited no sleep stage dependence (p=.19). Oxygen desaturation duration per apnea episode correlated positively with AHI (r2=.71, p<.0001), and was longer in REM than in non-REM (p<.0001). The heart rate turbulence parameter TS correlated negatively with oxygen desaturation duration in REM (r2=.06, p=.014).Conclusions
Higher VPC frequency coupled with higher sympathetic activity caused by longer apnea episodes in REM sleep may be one reason for increased nocturnal death in apneic patients. 相似文献15.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been increasingly linked to cardiovascular disease, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress, generated by repetitive nocturnal hypoxemia and reperfusion. Circulating free nitrotyrosine has been reported as a novel biomarker of nitric oxide (NO)-induced oxidative/nitrosative stress. Nitrosative stress has been implicated as a possible mechanism for development of cardiovascular diseases. We tested the hypothesis that repetitive severe hypoxemia resulting from OSA would increase NO-mediated oxidative stress. We studied 10 men with newly diagnosed moderate to severe OSA who were free of other diseases, had never been treated for OSA, and were taking no medications. Nitrotyrosine measurements, performed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, were made before and after untreated apneic sleep. We compared free nitrotyrosine levels in these patients with those obtained at similar times in 10 healthy male control subjects without OSA, with similar age and body mass index. Evening baseline nitrotyrosine levels were similar before sleep in the control and OSA groups [0.16 +/- 0.01 and 0.15 +/- 0.01 ng/ml, respectively, P = not significant (NS)]. Neither normal nor disturbed apneic sleep led to significant changes of plasma nitrotyrosine (morning levels: control group 0.14 +/- 0.01 ng/ml; OSA group 0.15 +/- 0.01 ng/ml, P = NS). OSA was not accompanied by increased circulating free nitrotyrosine either at baseline or after sleep. This observation suggests that repetitive hypoxemia during OSA does not result in increased NO-mediated oxidative/nitrosative stress in otherwise healthy subjects with OSA. 相似文献

Background
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSAS) is a disease associated with the increase of cardiovascular risk and it is characterized by repeated episodes of Intermittent Hypoxia (IH) which inducing oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Mitochondria are cell organelles involved in the respiratory that have their own DNA (MtDNA). The aim of this study was to investigate if the increase of oxidative stress in OSAS patients can induce also MtDNA alterations.Methods
46 OSAS patients (age 59.27 ± 11.38; BMI 30.84 ± 3.64; AHI 36.63 ± 24.18) were compared with 36 control subjects (age 54.42 ± 6.63; BMI 29.06 ± 4.7; AHI 3.8 ± 1.10). In blood cells Content of MtDNA and nuclear DNA (nDNA) was measured in OSAS patients by Real Time PCR. The ratio between MtDNA/nDNA was then calculated. Presence of oxidative stress was evaluated by levels of Reactive Oxygen Metabolites (ROMs), measured by diacron reactive oxygen metabolite test (d-ROM test).Results
MtDNA/nDNA was higher in patients with OSAS than in the control group (150.94 ± 49.14 vs 128.96 ± 45.8; p = 0.04), the levels of ROMs were also higher in OSAS subjects (329.71 ± 70.17 vs 226 ± 36.76; p = 0.04) and they were positively correlated with MtDNA/nDNA (R = 0.5, p < 0.01).Conclusions
In OSAS patients there is a Mitochondrial DNA damage induced by the increase of oxidative stress. Intermittent hypoxia seems to be the main mechanism which leads to this process. 相似文献18.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the risk of stroke independent of known vascular and metabolic risk factors. Although patients with OSA have higher prevalence of hypertension and evidence of hypercoagulability, the mechanism of this increased risk is unknown. Obstructive apnea events are associated with surges in blood pressure, hypercapnia, and fluctuations in cerebral blood flow. These perturbations can adversely affect the cerebral circulation. We hypothesized that patients with OSA have impaired cerebral autoregulation, which may contribute to the increased risk of cerebral ischemia and stroke. We examined cerebral autoregulation in patients with and without OSA by measuring cerebral artery blood flow velocity (CBFV) by using transcranial Doppler ultrasound and arterial blood pressure using finger pulse photoplethysmography during orthostatic hypotension and recovery as well as during 5% CO(2) inhalation. Cerebral vascular conductance and reactivity were determined. Forty-eight subjects, 26 controls (age 41.0+/-2.3 yr) and 22 OSA (age 46.8+/-2.3 yr) free of cerebrovascular and active coronary artery disease participated in this study. OSA patients had a mean apnea-hypopnea index of 78.4+/-7.1 vs. 1.8+/-0.3 events/h in controls. The oxygen saturation during sleep was significantly lower in the OSA group (78+/-2%) vs. 91+/-1% in controls. The dynamic vascular analysis showed mean CBFV was significantly lower in OSA patients compared with controls (48+/-3 vs. 55+/-2 cm/s; P <0.05, respectively). The OSA group had a lower rate of recovery of cerebrovascular conductance for a given drop in blood pressure compared with controls (0.06+/-0.02 vs. 0.20+/-0.06 cm.s(-2).mmHg(-1); P <0.05). There was no difference in cerebrovascular vasodilatation in response to CO(2). The findings showed that patients with OSA have decreased CBFV at baseline and delayed cerebrovascular compensatory response to changes in blood pressure but not to CO(2). These perturbations may increase the risk of cerebral ischemia during obstructive apnea. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been under investigation for over 25 years, during which a number of factors that contribute to upper airway (UA) collapse during sleep have been identified. Structural/anatomic factors that constrict space for the soft tissues surrounding the pharynx and its lumen are crucial to the development of OSA in many patients. Enlargement of soft tissues enveloping the pharynx, including hypertrophied tonsils, adenoids, and tongue, is also an important factor predisposing to UA collapse, inasmuch as this can impinge on the pharyngeal lumen and narrow it during sleep. Other factors, including impairment of UA mechanoreceptor sensitivity and reflexes that maintain pharyngeal patency and respiratory control system instability, have also been identified as possible mechanisms facilitating UA instability. This suggests that OSA may be a heterogeneous disorder, rather than a single disease entity. Therefore, the extent to which various pathogenic factors contribute to the phenomenon of repetitive collapse of the UA during sleep probably varies from patient to patient. Further elucidation of specific pathogenic mechanisms in individuals with OSA may facilitate the development of new therapies that can be tailored to individual patient needs according to the underlying mechanism(s) of their disease. 相似文献

There are several studies showing that patients with idiopathic obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a narrow and collapsible pharynx that may predispose them to repeated upper airway occlusions during sleep. We hypothesized that this structural abnormality may also extend to the glottic and tracheal region. Consequently, we measured pharyngeal (Aph), glottic (Agl), cervical tracheal (Atr1), midtracheal (Atr2), and distal (Atr3) tracheal areas during tidal breathing in 66 patients with OSA (16 nonobese and 50 obese) and 8 nonapneic controls. We found that Aph, Agl, and Atr1, but not Atr2 or Atr3, were significantly smaller in the OSA group than in the control group. Obese patients with OSA had the smallest upper airway area, although the nonapneic controls had the largest areas. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the pharyngeal area, cervical tracheal area, and body mass index were all independent determinants of the apnea-hypopnea index, accounting for 31% of the variability in apnea-hypopnea index. Aph, Agl, and Atr showed significant correlation with the body mass index. We conclude that sleep-disordered breathing is associated with diffuse upper airway narrowing and that obesity contributes to this narrowing. Furthermore, we speculate that a common pathophysiological mechanism may be responsible for this reduction in upper airway area extending from the pharynx to the proximal trachea. 相似文献
