Objective To study the characteristics of respiratory impedance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods The respiratory impedance were measured by Impulse Oscillometry(IOS) technique and polysomnography(PSG) were done synchronously in 11 COPD patients,15 OSAHS patients,4 overlap syndrome patients(COPD+OSAHS) and 10 control group. Results Zrs、R5、Rc and RP in COPD group,OSAHS group and COPD+OSAHS group were higer than those in contml group.Zrs、R5、R5-20、Fres.Rc and Rp in COPD group and COPD+OSAHS group were significantly higerthan those in OSAHS group.R20 and Rc in OSAHS group were higher than those in COPD group and control group (P<0.05).Rc in OSAHS group was still significantly higher than that in COPD group (P<0.05). The level of sleep efficiency was positive correlated with FEVl/pre% of COPD(r=0.632),while the levels of rouse frequence (r=-0.672),time of SaO2 <90% (-0.868) and ODI (-0.846) were negative correlated with FEVl/pre% of COPD.Condusion For OSAHS patients, there is some dysfunction in peripheral airway tract;For COPD patients,ODI and time of SaO2<90% are good index for the severity of disease.

Objective:To explore the long-term therapeutic efficacy and outcomes of liver transplantation for patients with hepatic myelopathy (HM).Methods:Retrospective analysis of 24 adult liver transplantation recipients due to HM at First Central Municipal Hospital from January 2006 to October 2022. HM was extensively classified by the severity of lower extremity symptoms, degree of muscle stiffness, capability for independent ambulation and muscle strength. Furthermore, their long-term outcomes were examined. From January 2000 to October 2022, the databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science were searched with such keywords as "肝性脊髓病and肝移植" "Hepatic Myelopathy and Liver Transplantation" .Results:After liver transplantation, liver functions and blood ammonia normalized and most clinical symptoms improved. During a follow-up period of (12-190) months, 19 patients showed a lowered grade of HC as compared to pre-transplantation. Four cases achieved a complete recovery of extremity function. No change occurred in severity grade for the remaining 5 patients. However, 4 of them experienced varying degrees of improvement in muscle strength and independent walking capability. This review summarized the clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes of 17 patients from both domestic and international sources. Most of them experiences varying degrees of symptomatic improvements after liver transplantation (16 cases).Conclusions:This study has confirmed the effectiveness of liver transplantation for HM and its contribution to the long-term patient recovery.
