OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of sleeping body posture on sleeping structure and respiratory events in patients with OSAHS. METHOD: We assessed the sleeping body position, the sleeping structure, position specific AHI and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in a total of 80 patients with Positional OSAHS. The patients were grouped according to AHI: mild OSAHS (5 < or = AHI <15), moderate (15 < or = AHI < 30) and severe (AHI > or = 30). The polysomnography data and clinical characteristics were compared between each group. RESULT: The severe OSAHS group, when compared with the mild and the moderate ones, had a significant different in REM%, NREM%, NREM LSaO2, RDI, S-AHI and L-AHI due to posture (P < 0.05). The severe and the mild OSAHS groups had significant different in MSaO2, LSaO2 due to posture (P < 0.05). The moderate and the mild OSAHS group had significant different in LSaO2, REM LSaO2 and RDI (P < 0.05). In all mild, moderate and severe groups, the LT% were higher than ST%, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). For mild-to-moderate groups, there was no correlation between the ESS and the AHI for any position different (P > 0.05). For severe group, the ESS was significantly correlated with L-AHI (r = 0.551; P < 0.01); the REM L-AHI and NREM L-AHI was also significantly correlated with ESS of severe group (r were 0.516 and 0.528, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The L-AHI, NREM L-AHI, REM L-AHI and NREM LSaO2 were considered to monitor the stability of OS-AHS, while REM LSaO2 were consider to clarify the severity of OSAHS.

Sequences analysis revealed Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) s10 was 909 nucleotides coding a 34 kDa protein denoted as VP7, which was determined to be a viral outer capsid protein (OCP). To obtain expressed OCP in vitro, a full length VP7 gene was produced by RT-PCR amplification, and the amplified fragment was cloned into T7 promoted prokaryotic expression vector pRSET. The recombinant plasmid,which was named as pR/GCRV-VP7,was then transformed into E.coli BL21 host cells. The data indicated that the expressed recombinant was in frame with the N-terminal fusion peptide. The over-expressed fusion protein was produced by inducing with IPTG, and its molecular weight was about 37kDa, which was consistent with its predicted size. In addition, the fusion protein was produced in the form of the inclusion body with their yield remaining steady at more than 60% of total bacterial protein. Moreover,the expressed protein was able to bind immunologically to anti-his-tag monoclonal antibody (mouse) and anti-GCRV serum (rabbit). This work provides a research basis for further structure and function studies of GCRV during entry into cells.
