Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2026;43(1):28-34
目的 系统评估阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与脑小血管病(CSVD)影像特征的关系,以期深入探索OSA在CSVD发生、发展中的潜在机制,并为优化临床管理策略提供新的科学依据。方法 收集自2021年5月—2023年10月期间入院的首发缺血性脑卒中合并CSVD的患者。完善头部MRI,评估CSVD影像学特征,并完善睡眠呼吸检测,计算OSA的特异性指标“低氧负荷(HB)”,并与传统指标对比,采用多因素Logistic回归分析研究这些缺氧指标与CSVD之间的关系,并绘制ROC曲线以比较缺氧指标与结局指标的相关性。结果 共纳入243例首发急性缺血性脑卒中患者,男性155例(63.8%),女性88例。多因素Logistic回归分析发现HB(OR=1.037,95%CI 1.020~1.055,P<0.001)和呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)(OR=1.044,95%CI 1.020~1.070,P<0.001)均与脑白质高信号(WMH)呈显著正相关。绘制ROC曲线结果显示,HB(AUC=0.722)与WMH的相关性优于AHI(AUC=0.670)。而睡眠期间血氧饱和度低于90%的时间总和(T90)、血氧饱和度下降指数(ODI)与WMH无关。OSA与扩大的血管周围间隙(EPVS)、脑微出血(CMB)、腔隙性脑梗死(LI)无相关性。结论 相较于传统评估指标,HB与WMH关联性更强,可作为OSA患者风险评估的更有效指标,为个体化干预提供精准依据。
Abstract
Objective To systematically evaluate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the radiological features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), to investigate the potential mechanism of OSA in the development and progression of cerebrovascular diseases, and to provide a new scientific basis for optimizing clinical management strategies. Methods The patients with first-episode ischemic stroke and CSVD who were admitted from May 2021 to October 2023 were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cranial MRI was performed to evaluate the radiological features of CSVD, and sleep respiration testing was conducted to calculate hypoxic burden (HB), a specific indicator for OSA, which was compared with traditional indicators. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between these hypoxic indicators and CSVD, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to compare the correlation between hypoxic indicators and outcome measures. Results A total of 243 patients with first-episode acute ischemic stroke were enrolled in this study, among whom there were 155 male patients (63.8%) and 88 female patients. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that both HB OR=1.037, 95%CI 1.020-1.055, P<0.001) and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)(OR=1.044, 95% CI 1.020-1.070, P<0.001) were significantly positively correlated with white matter hyperintensities (WMH).The ROC curve analysis showed that the correlation between HB and WMH (AUC=0.722) was better than that between HB and AHI(AUC=0.670). However, sleep time with oxygen saturation below 90% and oxygen desaturation index were not associated with WMH. OSA was not associated with enlarged perivascular spaces, cerebral microbleeds, or lacunar infarction. Conclusion Compared with traditional indicators, HB has a stronger correlation with WMH and can be used as a more effective indicator for risk assessment in OSA patients, thereby providing a precise basis for individualized intervention.

Objective:To analyze the medication law of external application of TCM in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) by using data mining method.Methods:Clinical controlled trial literature about external application of TCM in the treatment of PV was retrieved from CNKI, VIP, WanFang, SinoMed, PubMed and Cochrane Library from the establishment of the databases to May 23, 2022. Prescriptions were extracted after screening. TCM inheritance computing platform V3.0 was used to analyze the property, taste, meridian, efficacy, use frequency, common medicinal pairs and the core combinations.Results:A total 186 prescriptions were included, involving 190 kinds of Chinese materia medica. The medicines were mostly bitter and cold in property and taste, mainly belonging to the liver and heart meridians. Heat-clearing drugs were mainly used, followed by blood circulation-activating and stasis-eliminating medicines, and tonic medicines. The ten most frequently used medicines were Sophorae Flavescentis Radix, Dictamni Cortex, Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex, Kochiae Fructus, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, Rehmannine Radix, and Arnebiae Radix; the 3 commonly used medicinal pairs were Sophorae Flavescentis Radix- Dictamni Cortex, Sophorae Flavescentis Radix- Cnidii Fructus, and Sophorae Flavescentis Radix- Kochiae Fructus; 4 combinations were obtained through evolution. Conclusions:External application of TCM for the treatment of PV is around the core pathogenesis of "heat toxin", mainly treating from the blood, including cooling blood and detoxifcation, activating blood circulation and removing stasis, nourishing the blood and moistening dryness. Clearing heat and drying dampness, dispelling wind and relieving itching are also valued. The treating thoughts can provide some references for clinical treatment.
