The inspiratory part of the flow-volume curve (F-V curve) can be used as an auxiliary means to evaluate upper airway obstruction in adults. This study is to evaluate the ability of the F-V curve to predict the OSA and explore inspiratory indicators related to airway obstruction during sleep. Methods: There were 332 patients included in this cross-sectional study, who were accompanied by snoring, daytime sleepiness and other symptoms, with suspicion of OSA. According to the nocturnal polysomnography, the subjects were distributed into mild to moderate OSA group, severe OSA group and non-OSA group. A pulmonary function test was used to collect the subjects’ spirometry and F-V curves. Results: There was no significant difference in a variety of indices derived from the F-V curve between OSA and normal subjects, including 25% inspiratory flow rate, middle inspiratory flow rate, 75% inspiratory flow rate, peak flow rate, and forced inspiratory flow rate in the first second. The pulmonary function parameters were significantly correlated with the weight, age and sex of the subjects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the inspiratory curve of pulmonary function cannot evaluate the upper airway abnormalities in patients with obstructive apnea-hypopnea syndrome.展开更多

Thirty consecutive patients with a recent(<3 mo)CRVO and an age-and sex-matched group of 30 control subjects were recruited. All subjects underwent full-night polysomnography to measure apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)and oxygen desaturation index(ODI). The average AHI and ODI were significantly higher in CRVO patients(AHI:13.86±8.63, ODI: 9.21±4.47) than in control subjects(AHI:8.51±6.36, ODI: 5.87±3.18;P=0.008 and 0.001 respectively).Additionally, the AHI was positively correlated with body mass index(BMI;r=0.476, P=0.017) and ODI(r=0.921,P<0.01) in both CRVO and control subjects. According to AHI scores, twenty-two(73.33%) CRVO patients had OSA and 12(40.00%) control subjects had OSA, a difference that was statistically significant(P=0.019). OSA may be a risk factor for or a trigger of CRVO development.展开更多

Several medical treatments are now available for SAS. We considered problems of the treatment based on the practice situation of our department about the present conditions and subsequent treatment. The subjects consisted of 306 patients. We measured Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) after polysomnography in all patients at the first time and 6 months later. So, it was found that AHI and ESS decreased when we could be treated in the SAS patients appropriately. It was confirmed that the choice of the appropriate regimen was important.展开更多
