Objectives:To observe the exercise tolerance and cardiopulmonary function characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) combined with cardiovascular disease,in order to assess the cardiorespiratory reserve and health status of untreated OSAHS,and to provide a clinical evidence for the phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation. Methods:This retrospective analysis included 134 cardiovascular disease patients who attended the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center of Fuwai Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from November 2021 to April 2024 and received home sleep apnea monitoring (HSAT).According to the apnea hypopnea index (AHI),the patients were divided into the non-OSAHS (AHI<5 times/h) group (n=24),the mild-OSAHS (5 times/h ≤AHI<15 times/h) group (n=65),and moderate-to-severe OSAHS (AHI ≥15 times/h) group (n=45),and the body composition,pulmonary function characteristics,exercise tolerance,and ventilatory response to exercise were compared among the three groups. Results:A total of 110 (82.1%) patients had comorbid OSAHS,with a higher proportion of male patients (80.0%).Height,weight,body mass index,lean body mass,skeletal muscle mass,body water content,and basal metabolic rate increased progressively with increasing OSAHS severity in three groups (all P<0.05),while cardiovascular disease comorbidity was similar.Static lung function,exercise tolerance and ventilatory function at maximal exercise were similar between the patients in the mild OSAHS group and the moderate-severe OSAHS group as compared to the non-OSAHS group (all P>0.05).With the increase in the severity of OSAHS,the cardiorespiratory fitness showed a decreasing trend among patients in the three groups,and the forced vital capacity and the maximum vital capacity of patients in the moderate-severe OSAHS group were significantly higher than that of the mild OSAHS group,while peak O2 pulse%pred was significantly lower than that of the mild OSAHS group (all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the body fat mass (β=0.307,95%CI:0.263-0.823,P<0.001),minute ventilation at rest (β=0.259,95%CI:0.429-1.785,P=0.002) were the independent influencing factors of AHI. Conclusions:The prevalence of OSAHS is high in patients with cardiovascular disease,and patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS have reduced cardiorespiratory fitness,OSAHS is not associated with additional cardiac impairment and ventilatory function impairment in patients with cardiovascular disease.Weight loss should be the primary rehabilitation goal in patients with OSAHS combined with cardiovascular disease.

Objective To improve the recognition of synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome by investigating its clinical features and imaging manifestations. Methods The data of 14 patients with SAPHO syndrome (8 males, 6 females, age range: 18-61 years) between January 2014 and January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical features, the results of laboratory (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reaction protein (CRP), complement component 3 (C3) and component 4 (C4), human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27) tests, pathology and imaging examinations (CT and whole-body bone im-aging) were collected. Results SAPHO syndrome was mainly characterized by skin damage and bone joint damage. The main manifestations of skin lesions were pustules, desquamation and erythema. Those of bone and joint injury were sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, stiff spinal hyperostosis, peripheral arthritis, and sacroiliitis. There were 5 with fasting ESR, 5 with abnormal CRP, 3 with abnormal C3, and 1 with abnormal C4 among 14 patients. HLA-B27 was negative in all patients. Whole-body bone imaging revealed that 14 pa-tients had abnormal radioactivity, mainly involving the anterior chest wall, spine, pelvis and long bone. Chest CT manifestations of the patients were the destruction of joint bone, the fusion of the hypertrophy and the narrowing of the joint space. Symmetric lesions accounted for the majority. Pathology examination showed non-specific inflammation in 9 patients. Conclusions SAPHO syndrome is a disease characterized by skin, bone and joint abnormalities. Whole-body bone imaging can find systemic bone damage in early stage, and CT can detect bone changes and soft tissue lesions.
