Objective To compare the mandibular advancement appliance(MAA) with mandibular advancement and left-leaning appliance (MALA) in the treatment of mild or moderate obstructive sleep ap-nea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Twenty-two cases of mild or moderate OSAHS were treated with MAA, and 19 cases with MALA. After 1-3 months, they were examined again with Epworth score and polysonmography (PSG). Results After 1-3 months of the MAA or MALA treatment, the Epworth score was improved evidently. The apnea -hypopnea index, max apnea time, mean apnea time, oxygen desaturatian index, and the longest time of oxygen desaturation were all lowered after the treatment, and the lowest SaO2 and the mean SaO2 were higher after the treatment. The differences were all distinctive (P<0.05 or<0.01). When patients treated with MAA were compared with those treated with MALA,only the max apnea time [(35.5±6.9),(31.3±6.0) s, respectively] and the longest time of oxygen desaturation [ (41.0±18.9), (29.9±9.3) s, respectively] had significant difference. Conclusion MALA may be helpful for shortening max apnea time and the longest time of oxygen desaturation, thus MAA is an effective alternative to patients of OSAHS. Further research should be done.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of entecavir combined with chemotherapy on positive HBV in tumor patients with normal liver function. METHODS:106 patients were selected and divided into observation group (44 cases) and control group (62 cases) according to therapy plan. Control group received routine chemotherapy according to tumor condition;observa-tion group was given Entecavir tablets orally 0.5 mg,qd,before 1 week of chemotherapy,for consecutive 1 week. HBV reactiva-tion rate,recurrence rate of severe hepatitis,mortality rate,serum level of ALT before and after treatment and the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:4 patients of observation group and 2 of control group withdrew from the study. HBV reactivation rate,recurrence rate of severe hepatitis and mortality were 7.5%,0,0 in observation group and 56.7%, 50.0%,13.3% in control group,with statistical significance between 2 groups(P<0.05). Before chemotherapy,there was no sta-tistical significance in serum levels of ALT between 2 groups(P>0.05);after chemotherapy,the serum levels of ALT in 2 groups were increased significantly,and the control group was significantly higher than the observation group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Entecavir can effectively prevent HBV reactivation and decrease the recurrence rate of severe hepatitis and mortality rate in tumor patients dur-ing chemotherapy, and doesn’t increase the risk of ADR.
