Objective:To inquiry the variety difference of upper airway caliber OSAHS sufferer and normal person in quiet respiration Method:Twenty OSAHS sufferer who were viewed by PSG and 16 normal adults who hadve no chief complaint of sleeping disease were selected.The curves of the subjects in a respiratory cycle were recorded by respiratory monitoring system in PSG,while the morphological changes in the harynx of all subjects were observed by fiberscope in a calm respiratory cycle,and then both of the two processes simultaneously were recorded on the same computer.According to the different stages of respiratory cycle by analyzing respiratory curve the video had been edited into pictures about the various anatomical areas in the upper airway,he cross section area and the dimension of palate and lingua and root of the tongue region upper irway wereas studied by the image tools in computer,and the changes of areas and dimensions at palate,and lingua and root of the tongue region upper airway were calculated.Result:It was found that there wasis a morphological change f the upper airway with the respiratory movement in the both groups.The upper airway caliber decrease with inspiration begin and reach the most narrowing at the end of inspiration,then upper airway caliber enlarges with the expiration begin and reach the most widening at the end of expiration.No matter the normal group or the OSAHS roup has the obvious changes in the palate and lingua region on the diameter,the cross section area and the dimension in respiration.The changes in the palate and lingua region on the diameter,the cross section area and the dimension of OSAHS group were greater than normal group.No matter OSAHS group or normal group on the diameter nd cross section area change in the palate was obviously more than the tongue area and the root of tongue area.The changes of OSAHS group on the dimension in the palate were greater than the tongue area and the root of tongue area.Conclusion:There are periodically changes of upper airway during respiration cycle in normal adults and SAHS patients.The effects of respiration on upper airway caliber of OSAHS patients are more obviously than normal adults.and the increasing effects in OSAHS patients is one of OSAHS etiology.

BACKGROUND:Autologous bone-skin flap transplantation is the best method for the repair of composite tissue defect, but the repair ability is limited, with big trauma, new tissue defect and a certain dysfunction. Al ogeneic bone has the osteoinductive capacity, which can be used to prepare the bone-skin flap. OBJECTIVE:To research the pathological change of the al ogenic bone during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implant. METHODS:The experimental animals were Bama miniature pigs. Deep-frozen al ogenic bone was implanted in iliac artery-supported tissue flap compartment of miniature pigs. After operation, the local reactions were observed, the al ogenic bone were studied by general observation and histological analysis at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after implantation respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Obvious inflammation reaction was not observed in the surgical zone. The al ogeneic bone was vascularized at 4 weeks after implanted into the flap tissue without obvious osteoblast-like cells. The vascularization, bone resorption and uneven distributed osteoblast-like cells and osteoclast-like cells were observed at 8 weeks after implantation, and new bone formation was observed. At 12 weeks after implantation, new bone formation and bone absorption was strengthened, and the morphology of the bone graft was changed. At 16 weeks after implantation, al ogenic bone turned into fragments and absorbed, and no new bone formation was observed. The results indicated that during the prefabrication of bone-skin flap with al ogeneic bone implantation, the pathological changes of the al ogeneic bone was observed with time prolonging, and the bone-skin flap should be transplanted in time.

OBJECTIVE To summarize and evaluate the therapeutic studies on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)in our country. METHODS Articles of therapeutic studies on OSAHS published in major journals of our country from Jan. 1995 to Dec. 2004 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 201 articles were recruited. The number of articles published every year was increased with time and most of the articles were retrospective study. There were no standard criteria for evaluating the curative effect,and the cure rate of UPPP were obviously different according to different evaluation criteria. In same evaluation criteria,the short- term outcome were better than long-term outcome,and the patients underwent multiple levels surgery had better outcome than single UPPP. CONCLUSION Multi-center,large sampled and prospective random comparison therapeutic study based on evaluative criteria constituted by Chinese Medical Association should be carried out in the future study. The impersonal methods and criteria for evaluation the upper airway anatomic structure and pharyngeal wall resilience should be established. Individuality therapy should be done. And finally, bring on therapeutic effect of OSAHS to a higher level in our country.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between the expression levels of phagocytic NADPH oxidase p22phox subunit and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in patients with non-valvular chronic heart failure and explore the role of oxidative stress caused by NADPH oxidase p22phox subunit in left ventricular remodeling.

METHODSSemi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to examine the expression levels of phagocytic NADPH oxidase p22phox in 59 patients with non-valvular chronic heart failure and 20 control subjects. All the subjects underwent ultrasonic cardiography to record their IVST, LVPWT, LVEDd, LVEDs, and EF. Based on the calculated LVMI, the patients were divided into heart failure without LV hypertrophy (LVH) group and heart failure with LVH group.

RESULTSThe patients with heart failure showed significantly higher expression of phagocytic NADPH oxidase p22phox than the control subjects (0.91∓0.37 vs 0.68∓0.33, P=0.039), and the patients with LVH had significantly higher p22phox expression than those without LVH (1.58∓0.20 vs 0.71∓0.24, P=0.026). LVMI showed a positive correlation with the expression of p22phox in these patients (r=0.508, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONNADPH oxidase p22phox expression level is positively correlated with LVMI and can be indicative of the level of left ventricular remodeling in patients with non-valvular chronic heart failure.
