The respiratory impedance was measured by using IOS technique and polysomnography (PSG) was monitored synchronously in 36 OSAS pa- tients,14 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 12 normal controls. Re- sults showed that R20 in OSAS group was significantly higher than in COPD group and control group (P<0.01). R5-R20 in OSAS group was lower than that in COPD group, but significantly higher than that in control group(P<0. 01). The levels of R20 and R5-R20 were positively correlated with severity degree of the disease. In addition, apnea-hyponea index (AHI) was positively correlated with R5 and R20 with the correlation index (r)being 0. 66 and 0. 86 respectively. The lowest SO2 was negatively correlated with R5 and R5-R20, with r being-0. 66 and- 0. 79 respectively. The mean SO2 was negatively correlated with R5 and R5-R20 with r being-0. 81 and-0. 69 respectively. IOS technique could be used as a valuable tool for assessing the degree of upper airway obstruction in the patients with OSAS, and could help to explore its pathological mechanism.展开更多

However, the mechanism causing hypoxia during sleep in SVCS patients is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to elucidate 1) the changes in central and peripheral respiratory resistance with SVCS, and 2) interpret the mechanism underlying the development of hypoxia during sleep in patients with SVCS related to OSA. Ten SVCS patients related to a neoplasm were recruited for this study. The degree of apnea hypopnea index (AHI) for OSA was evaluated by portable diagnosing device before and after SVCS treatment. We also analyzed the airway resistance and reactance quantitatively in the supine position by Master Screen impulse oscillometry system (MS-IOS?). After SVCS treatment, mean values of AHI were significantly decreased from 30.9 to 16.9 (/hour) (p = 0.001). Central respiratory resistance (R20) also decreased significantly from 0.40 to 0.33 kPa/L/s (p = 0.025) in the supine position. In contrast, peripheral respiratory resistance (R5-R20) and distal capacitive reactance (X5) did not change significantly. It is thought that the exacerbation of OSA due to SVCS is caused by increasing upper airway resistance related to reversible edema of the upper airway mucous or tissue. In contrast, SVCS may not cause peripheral respiratory tract and lung parenchyma edema.展开更多

Children's asthma control test (C-ACT) is used to assess the disease severity of children. MEFV detection is carried out to the two groups of children to obtain the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and the peak expiratory flow (PEF). LsS inductance (X5) is detected by IOS when R5, the resonant frequency (Fres), and the oscillation frequency is 5Hz. The relationship of ACT score with MEFV and IOS indicators is analyzed by Pearson correlation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used to evaluate the diagnostic value of MEFV and IOS indicators to chronic cough. Results: The C-ACT score of the severe group is significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). FEV1/FVC and PEF of the mild and severe groups are both lower than those of the control group, and FEV1/FVC and PEF of the severe group is lower than those of the mild group (P<0.05). Fres, R5 and X5 of the mild and severe groups are significantly higher than those of the control group, and Fres, R5 and X5 of the severe group are higher than the mild group (P<0.05). FEV1/FVC and PEF are positively correlated with C-ACT score (P<0.05), while Fres, R5 and X5 are negatively correlated with C-ACT score (P<0.05). FEV1/FVC and PEF respectively shows significant negative correlations with Fres, R5 and X5 (P<0.05). R5 has a self-high ROC value of 0.938, followed by Fres, which is 0.917. And the value of IOS diagnostic indicators is higher than MEFV indicators.Conclusion: FEV1 / FVC and PEF of children with chronic cough will decrease while Fres, R5 and X5 will increase, of which Fres, R5 and X5 have a higher correlation with the severity of cough symptoms, and ROC analysis results also show that R5 has the highest diagnostic value to 3~5 years old children with chronic cough.展开更多

Methods: RI under normal respiration and during deep slow respira tion was measured one after the other with impulse oscillometry for 8 patients with COPD and for 9 healthy volunteers as control. Results: When r espiration was changed from normal pattern to the deep slow pattern, the tida l volume increased and respiratory frequency significantly decreased in both gro ups , the total respiratory impedance (Z respir) showed a decreasing trend in COPD group, but with no obvious change in the control group. No chang e in the resonant frequency (fres) was found in both groups, and the respiratory viscous resistance obviously decreased in the COPD group(R5: P =0.0168 ; R20: P =0.0498; R5—R20: P =0.0388),though in the control group it was unchanged. Conclusion: IOS detection could reflect the response he terogeneity of different compartments of respiratory system during tidal breathi ng. During deep slow respiration, the viscous resistance in both central airw ay and peripheral airway was decreased in patients with COPD. RI measurement by impulse oscillometry may be a convenient pathophysiological method for studying the application of breathing exercise in patients with COPD.展开更多
