Objective:To investigate the correlation between 25 hydroxyvitamin D[25 (OH) D] level and sleep monitoring index in patients with severe altitude obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods:Sixty-six patients with severe OSAHS (AHI≥30 times/hour) diagnosed by apnea hypopnea index (AHI) who had lived at high altitude (1 800-4 193 m) for≥1 year were included in the experimental group. The patients underwent polysomnography monitoring in Sleep Medicine Center of Qinghai Red Cross Hospital from June to December 2021. In addition, healthy volunteers matched the experimental group by gender, age, ethnicity and living altitude during the same period were selected for polysomnography monitoring. Finally, 48 healthy volunteers with AHI<5 times/hour were included as the control group. 25(OH)D level and its deficiency were compared between the two groups. The experimental group was further divided into severe deficiency group [25(OH)D≤10 μg/L], the deficiency group [10 μg/L<25(OH)D≤20 μg/L] and the non-deficiency group [25(OH)D>20 μg/L] according to 25(OH)D level, and the differences of sleep parameters among the three groups were compared. Correlation analysis and multifactor linear regression analysis were performed on the factors that may affect the level of 25(OH)D in patients with severe OSAHS.Results:A total of 114 adults living on the plateau for at least one year were enrolled, including 66 in the experimental group and 48 in the control group. 25(OH)D deficiency (≤30 μg/L) was found in all the individuals included in the experimental group and the control group, and the 25(OH)D level of the two groups was [(13.13±4.05) vs (13.68±4.60) μg/L, P=0.507] and there was no significant difference in deficiency degree (all P>0.05). Within the experimental group, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time and proportion (REM%) and sleep awakening time of 25(OH)D non-deficiency group, were significantly lower than those in severe deficiency group (all P<0.05), and sleep efficiency in 25(OH)D non-deficiency group was significantly higher than that in severe deficiency group and deficiency group (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the level of 25 (OH) D in experimental group were positively correlated with serum calcium ion level ( r=0.293, P=0.017) and sleep efficiency ( r=0.309, P=0.011), and were negatively correlated with age ( r=-0.298, P=0.015), REM sleep time ( r=-0.401, P=0.001), REM% ( r=-0.421, P<0.001) and awakening time ( r=-0.362, P=0.003). Multifactor linear regression analysis suggested that serum calcium, REM sleep time and history of hypertension were the predictors of 25(OH)D level in severe OSAHS at high altitude. Conclusions:There is a correlation between sleep monitoring indexes and serum 25(OH)D level in patients with severe OSAHS at high altitude. The longer the REM sleep time, the lower the 25(OH)D level. Meanwhile, there is a certain relationship between co-morbidity hypertension and 25(OH)D level in patients with severe OSAHS at high altitude.

Objective To study the effect of thioridazine on the proliferation and apoptosis of human colorectal cancer SW480 cells. Methods SW480 cells were treated with different concentrations of thioridazine, and MTT assay was used to evaluate the cell inhibition rate. Hoechst 33342 staining was performed to demonstrate the cell morphology changes. Flow cytometry was used to determine the cell apoptosis and cell cycle changes. RT-qPCR was used to detect PDCD4, c-MYC, BCL2, CCND1, CASPASE3, PARP1, CDK4 and EIF4A mRNA expressions, and Western blotting was employed to assay AKT, p-AKT, and PDCD4 protein expression levels. Results MTT results showed that thioridazine inhibits the proliferation of SW480 cells. SW480 cells treated with thioridazine presented with such typical features of apoptosis of karyopyknosis, chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. Flow cytometry showed that thioridazine was a cell cycle-specific drug and caused cell cycle arrest at G1/G0 phase and an increased cell apoptosis rate. Thioridazine treatment of the cells resulted in up-regulated PDCD4 mRNA expression and down-regulated mRNA expressions of CCND1, CDK4, c-MYC, BCL2, CASPASE3, PARP1 and EIF4A, increased PDCD4 protein expression and reduced p-AKT protein expression. Conclusion Thioridazine inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis of SW480 cells by up-regulating PDCD4 and inhibiting PI3K/Akt pathway.
