Inflammatory mechanism on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in impacting ischemic stroke

چکیده
Objective: To explore the inflammatory mechanism that Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) impacts ischemic stroke. Methods: 100 patients admitted in department of neurology of our hospital were enrolled in the study and assigned into the cerebral ischemic stroke group without OSAS (control group, n=50) and the cerebral ischemic stroke group with OSAS (observation group, n=50). whose Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and minimal arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2 min) at night were detected and recorded by a multi-lead sleep monitor and whose hypersensitive C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP), Fibrinogen, (Fg), Nuclear Factor-κB (NF-κB), and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α) were tested by ELISA kits. Results: Compared with the control group, the AHI, Hs-CRP, Fg, NF-κB and TNF-α of the observation group increased significantly (p<0.05, P<0.01) but SaO2 min decreased obviously (P<0.05). Conclusion: OSAS is able to impact the occurrence of ischemic stroke but also aggravate it. The possible inflammatory mechanism is that it produces massive Hs-CRP by activating NF-κB/TNF-α signal pathway, then damages vascular endothelial function, and finally results in atherosclerosis and its

Background: Sleep apnea is temporary cessation or absence of breathing during sleep. Significant increase in blood pressure is clinically seen in apneic episodes. The aim of this study was to examine sleep apnea syndrome as a risk factor for non- arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in a case control study. Methods: Nineteen NAION patients (9 men and 10 women) and 31 age and ...

Apert syndrome is a rare kind of craniosynostosis which is identified with fusion of cranial sutures during prematurity period and causes physical and intellectual disorders in younger ages. These patients may show symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea due to abnormal craniofacial shape.

Abstract Bckground: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at risk of developing the fatty liver as a result of being overweight. Several studies suggest that OSA per se could be a risk factor for liver injury and ischemic hepatitis with OSA. The OSA is an independent risk factor for Insulin resistance. Therefore, we investigated liver enzymes and insulin resistance in patients with O...
