Arch Bronconeumol 2024:S0300-2896(24)00241-2. [PMID: 39043479 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2024.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Identification of suitable biomarkers that facilitate the screening and evaluation of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and its severity was explored. METHODS Data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomic analysis was employed to identify serum and urine proteins with differential expression patterns between children with OSA and controls. Differentially expressed proteins that gradually increased or decreased with the severity of OSA were retained as potential biomarkers and underwent ELISA validation. RESULTS We found that with increasing severity of OSA, there was a gradual upregulation of 34 proteins in the serum and 124 proteins in the urine, along with a respective downregulation of 10 serum proteins and 64 urinary proteins in the initial cohort of 40 children. These proteins primarily participate in immune activation, the complement pathway, oxygen transport, and reactive oxygen metabolism. Notably, cathepsin Z exhibited a positive correlation with the obstructive apnea hypopnea index, whereas sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was negatively correlated. These proteins were then validated by ELISA in an independent cohort (n=21). Circulating cathepsin Z and SHBG levels displayed acceptable diagnostic performance of OSA with AUC values of 0.863 and 0.738, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We identified two promising circulating proteins as novel biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and assessment of pediatric OSA severity. Furthermore, the comprehensive proteomic profile in pediatric OSA should aid in exploring the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms associated with this prevalent condition.

Abstract
Paediatric sleep diagnostics is performed using complex multichannel tests in specialised centres, limiting access and availability and resulting in delayed diagnosis and management. Such investigations are often challenging due to patient size (prematurity), tolerability, and compliance with "gold standard" equipment. Children with sensory/behavioural issues, at increased risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB), often find standard diagnostic equipment difficult.SDB can have implications for a child both in terms of physical health and neurocognitive development. Potential sequelae of untreated SDB includes failure to thrive, cardiopulmonary disease, impaired learning and behavioural issues. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of SDB is important to facilitate early intervention and improve outcomes.The current gold-standard diagnostic test for SDB is polysomnography (PSG), which is expensive, requiring the interpretation of a highly specialised physiologist. PSG is not feasible in low-income countries or outwith specialist sleep centres. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, efforts were made to improve remote monitoring and diagnostics in paediatric sleep medicine, resulting in a paradigm shift in SDB technology with a focus on automated diagnosis harnessing artificial intelligence (AI). AI enables interrogation of large datasets, setting the scene for an era of "sleep-omics", characterising the endotypic and phenotypic bedrock of SDB by drawing on genetic, lifestyle and demographic information. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recently announced a programme for the development of automated home-testing devices for SDB. Scorer-independent scalable diagnostic approaches for paediatric SDB have potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, accessibility and patient tolerability; reduce health inequalities; and yield downstream economic and environmental benefits.

Renal sympathetic denervation ameliorates the activated inflammatory response through JAK-STAT pathway in a chronic obstructive sleep apnea animal model. Sleep Med 2024; 113:142-151. [PMID: 38016360 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2023.11.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and inflammation plays a significant role in this process. Renal denervation (RDN) is a novel approach aimed at reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. The role of RDN in the inflammatory response to chronic OSA (COSA) is currently unclear. The main objective was to study inflammatory mechanisms in the rabbit heart with COSA and the effects of RDN. METHODS Eighteen rabbits were randomized into three groups: sham control, COSA, and COSA-RDN. COSA and COSA-RDN groups received liquid silicone injections, while the sham control group received normal saline. We performed combined surgical and chemical RDN through bilateral retroperitoneal flank incisions in the COSA-RDN group after silicone injections. The inflammatory mechanisms were assessed through immunoblotting, real-time PCR, and ELISA after the experiment. RESULTS H&E staining showed immune cell infiltration in COSA, which decreased after RDN treatment. The level of α7nAChR was significantly reduced in COSA compared to the sham control but was restored to a similar level in the COSA-RDN group. Furthermore, the expressions of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly reduced in COSA but showed an up-regulation following RDN treatment. Similarly, levels of the inflammatory markers IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α were markedly increased in COSA but decreased after RDN therapy. We observed NF-κB activation in the COSA rabbit model, which decreased after RDN treatment, as evidenced by decreased NF-κB expression. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that RDN treatment may prevent COSA-associated heart inflammation via the JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Sleep-wake disturbances are common in neurodegenerative diseases and may occur years before the clinical diagnosis, potentially either representing an early stage of the disease itself or acting as a pathophysiological driver. Therefore, discovering biomarkers that identify individuals with sleep-wake disturbances who are at risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases will allow early diagnosis and intervention. Given the association between sleep and neurodegeneration, the most frequently analyzed fluid biomarkers in people with sleep-wake disturbances to date include those directly associated with neurodegeneration itself, such as neurofilament light chain, phosphorylated tau, amyloid-beta and alpha-synuclein. Abnormalities in these biomarkers in patients with sleep-wake disturbances are considered as evidence of an underlying neurodegenerative process. Levels of hormonal sleep-related biomarkers such as melatonin, cortisol and orexin are often abnormal in patients with clinical neurodegenerative diseases, but their relationships with the more standard neurodegenerative biomarkers remain unclear. Similarly, it is unclear whether other chronobiological/circadian biomarkers, such as disrupted clock gene expression, are causal factors or a consequence of neurodegeneration. Current data would suggest that a combination of fluid biomarkers may identify sleep-wake disturbances that are most predictive for the risk of developing neurodegenerative disease with more optimal sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent disease associated with increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and shortened lifespan. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of using N-glycome as a biomarker for the severe form of OSA. Seventy subjects who underwent a whole-night polysomnography/polygraphy and had apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) over 30 were compared to 23 controls (AHI under 5). Plasma samples were used to extract 39 glycan peaks using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and 27 IgG peaks using capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE). We also measured glycan age, a molecular proxy for biological aging. Three plasma and one IgG peaks were significant in a multivariate model controlling for the effects of age, sex, and body mass index. These included decreased GP24 (disialylated triantennary glycans as major structure) and GP28 (trigalactosylated, triantennary, disialylated, and trisialylated glycans), and increased GP32 (trisialylated triantennary glycan). Only one IgG glycan peak was significantly increased (P26), which contains biantennary digalactosylated glycans with core fucose. Patients with severe OSA exhibited accelerated biological aging, with a median of 6.9 years more than their chronological age (p < 0.001). Plasma N-glycome can be used as a biomarker for severe OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been identified as a cardiovascular (CV) risk factor. The potential of OSA promoting the synthesis of CV biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unknown. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) has been identified as a specific CV biomarker. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of IMA as a potential biomarker for determining the impact of OSA in ACS patients. A total of 925 patients (15.5% women, age: 59 years, body mass index: 28.8 kg/m2) from the ISAACC study (NCT01335087) were included. During hospitalization for ACS, a sleep study for OSA diagnosis was performed and blood samples extraction for IMA determination were obtained. IMA values were significantly higher in severe OSA (median (IQR), 33.7 (17.2-60.3) U/L) and moderate (32.8 (16.9-58.8) U/L) than in mild/no OSA (27.7 (11.8-48.6) U/L) (p = 0.002). IMA levels were very weakly related to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as well as hospital and intensive care unit stay, although they only maintained a significant relationship with days of hospital stay after adjusting for sex, age and BMI (ß = 0.410, p = 0.013). The results of the present study would suggest a potentially weaker role of OSA in the synthesis of the CV risk biomarker IMA in patients with ACS than in primary prevention.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this scoping review is to evaluate the current biomarkers used in the assessment of adverse cardiac remodelling in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and in the diagnosis and prognosis of subsequent cardiovascular disease. We aim to discuss the biomarkers' pathophysiological roles as a reflection of the cardiac remodelling mechanisms in the presence of DM. METHODS We performed the literature search to include studies from 2003 to 2021 using the following databases: MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane library. Articles that met our inclusion criteria were screened and appraised before being included in this review. The PRISMA guidelines for Scoping Reviews were followed. RESULTS Our literature search identified a total of 43 eligible articles, which were included in this scoping review. We identified 15 different biomarkers, each described by at least two studies, that were used to determine signs of cardiac remodelling in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and people with DM. NT-proBNP was identified as the most frequently employed biomarker in this context; however, we also identified emerging biomarkers including hs-CRP, hs-cTnT, and Galectin-3. CONCLUSION There is a complex relationship between DM and cardiovascular health, where more research is needed. Current biomarkers reflective of adverse cardiac remodelling in DM are often used to diagnose other CVDs, such as NT-proBNP for heart failure. Hence there is a need for identification of specific biomarkers that can detect early signs of cardiac remodelling in the presence of DM. Further research into these biomarkers and mechanisms can deepen our understanding of their role in DM-associated CVD and lead to better preventative therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease and a major cause of systemic inflammation leading to neurocognitive, behavioural, metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction in children and adults. However, the impact of OSA on the heterogeneity of circulating immune cells remains to be determined. METHODS We applied single-cell transcriptomics analysis (scRNA-seq) to identify OSA-induced changes in transcriptional landscape in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) composition, which uncovered severity-dependent differences in several cell lineages. Furthermore, a machine-learning approach was used to combine scRNAs-seq cell-specific markers with those differentially expressed in OSA. RESULTS scRNA-seq demonstrated OSA-induced heterogeneity in cellular composition and enabled the identification of previously undescribed cell types in PBMCs. We identified a molecular signature consisting of 32 genes, which distinguished OSA patients from various controls with high precision (area under the curve 0.96) and accuracy (93% positive predictive value and 95% negative predictive value) in an independent PBMC bulk RNA expression dataset. CONCLUSION OSA deregulates systemic immune function and displays a molecular signature that can be assessed in standard cellular RNA without the need for pre-analytical cell separation, thereby making the assay amenable to application in a molecular diagnostic setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of adenotonsillectomy (T&A) on ambulatory blood pressure (BP) variability in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN Prospective, interventional study. METHODS Children with OSA symptoms were recruited from a tertiary center. After OSA diagnosis was confirmed (ie, apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] > 1), these children underwent T&A for treatment. We performed polysomnography and 24-hour recordings of ambulatory BP before and 3 to 6 months postoperatively. Ambulatory BP variability was presented as the standard deviation of mean blood pressure in the 24-hour monitoring of ambulatory BP. Differences in BP variability among different subgroups were tested using a multivariable linear mixed model. RESULTS A total of 190 children were enrolled (mean age: 7.8 ± 3.3 years; 73% were boys; 34% were obese). The AHI significantly decreased from 12.3 ± 17.0 to 2.7 ± 5.5 events/hr after T&A. Overall, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP did not significantly change postoperatively, and overall, daytime, and nighttime ambulatory BP variability did not differ significantly preoperatively and postoperatively. In the subgroup analysis, children aged <6 years demonstrated a significantly greater decrease in ambulatory BP variability postoperatively than those aged >6 years (nighttime diastolic BP variability: 9.9 to 7.7 vs. 8.9 to 9.4). Children with hypertension also showed a significantly greater decrease in ambulatory BP variability than those without hypertension. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that overall ambulatory BP variability does not significantly change after T&A in children with OSA. Moreover, young-aged and hypertensive children demonstrate a significant decrease in BP variability after T&A. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 132:2491-2497, 2022.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review aimed to evaluate the effects of oral appliance (OA) therapy on serum inflammatory cytokines in adults diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS Seven electronic databases and partial gray literature were searched without restrictions through March 2021. Articles evaluating the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines in patients with OSA after OA treatment were included. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the before-and-after tool or RoB 2.0. The level of certainty was assessed using the GRADE tool. RESULTS Five studies met the eligibility criteria. One was a randomized clinical trial (RCT), while four were non-randomized clinical trials (NRCTs). Among the studies, C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were investigated. The RCT reported no significant differences in marker levels after 2 months of OA therapy, while the NRCTs showed improvement on CRP, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels after longer follow-up periods. The RoB was evaluated as showing some concern in the RCT. Three NRCTs presented good RoB, and one showed a fair RoB. The level of certainty was graded as moderate quality for inflammatory marker levels assessed in the RCT The levels of certainty evaluated in NRCTs were classified as very low. CONCLUSIONS Although limited, existing scientific evidence showed that OA therapy may improve serum cytokine levels in adults with OSA. However, short treatment periods are not effective in reducing markers of systemic inflammation which may require extended time and a decrease of in apneic events to improve.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a worldwide health issue that affects more than 400 million people. Given the limitations inherent in the current conventional diagnosis of OSA based on symptoms report, novel diagnostic approaches are required to complement existing techniques. Recent advances in gene sequencing technology have made it possible to identify a greater number of genes linked to OSA. We identified key genes in OSA and CPAP treatment by screening differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and employing machine learning algorithms. None of these genes had previously been implicated in OSA. Moreover, a new diagnostic model of OSA was developed, and its diagnostic accuracy was verified in independent datasets. By performing Single Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) and Counting Relative Subsets of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT), we identified possible immunologic mechanisms, which led us to conclude that patients with high OSA risk tend to have elevated inflammation levels that can be brought down by CPAP treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relative contributions of obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to unfavorable blood pressure in children. STUDY DESIGN Children aged 3-18 years with OSA-related symptoms were recruited. All children underwent office blood pressure (BP) monitoring and full-night polysomnography. Obesity was defined as a body mass index ≥95th percentile. OSA severity was divided into primary snoring (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] <1), mild OSA (5> AHI ≥1), and moderate to severe OSA (AHI ≥5). Age- and sex-adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the associations among OSA, obesity, and elevated BP. RESULTS This cross-sectional study enrolled 1689 children (66% boys), with a mean age of 7.9 years. Compared with children with primary snoring, children with moderate to severe OSA had significantly higher systolic BP (108.1 mmHg vs 105.6 mmHg), diastolic BP (75.0 mmHg vs 70.4 mmHg), systolic BP percentile (75.0 vs 70.4), and diastolic BP percentile (74.0 vs 69.2). The rate of unfavorable BP (ie, elevated BP or hypertension level BP) also was significantly higher in children with more severe OSA. Children with obesity had higher BP and BP percentile. Logistic regression analysis revealed that children with obesity and moderate to severe OSA have a 3-fold greater risk of unfavorable BP compared with children without obesity and primary snoring. CONCLUSIONS We identified a 3-fold greater risk of unfavorable BP in children with obesity and moderate to severe OSA.

Abstract
Purpose Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) presents perioperative challenges with increased risk for complications. Floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) is associated with OSA yet has not been addressed perioperatively. The current standard for perioperative OSA screening includes assessing patient risk factors or the STOP-BANG tool, which requires an active participant. We aimed to confirm a connection between FES and OSA in presurgical patients and develop a screening method appropriate for patients with perioperative OSA risk. Materials and Methods 162 presurgical pre-anesthesia clinic patients were enrolled. Screening questions determined eligibility. Those who were pregnant or aged < 19 were excluded. Control group included those with a STOP-BANG score < 3. Experimental group included those with BMI > 35 and OSA diagnosis. Examiners photographed participants’ eyes with vertical and horizontal retraction while two blinded ophthalmologists used a grading scale to review grade of eyelid laxity. Results Differences in habitus, ASA score, and hypertension as a comorbidity were significant. Sensitivity of FES screening was 52% (CI 37–66%) and specificity was 56% (CI 46–66%) for reviewer 1. For reviewer 2, sensitivity was 48% (CI 28–69%) and specificity was 72% (CI 60–81%). Negative predictive value was 86% (CI 81–90) for reviewer 1 and 88% (CI 83–92%) for reviewer 2. Inter-rater agreement was moderate. Conclusion While specificity and sensitivity were lower than anticipated, negative predictive value was high. Given this strong negative predictive value, our findings indicate using eyelid retraction to screen for FES has perioperative clinical utility. These findings encourage further research addressing the connection of lid laxity/FES to OSA. Key Points • Aimed to investigate if a FES screening tool could identify perioperative OSA risk. • Negative predictive value for FES with OSA was 86%. • Observing periocular lid laxity has clinical utility; is feasible in any patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported increased levels of inflammatory mediators in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but their relation with the severity of OSA is controversial. OBJECTIVE: To address potential relationships between OSA-related inflammatory markers, namely, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and fibrinogen, with different oxygenation parameters and with BMI. METHODS: All eligible patients with suspected OSA newly referred to the Sleep Medicine Research Center at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, were evaluated demographically and anthropometrically, and underwent overnight polysomnography. Fasting morning blood samples were collected to measure serum levels of CRP, fibrinogen, TNF-α, and IL-6. Potential correlations between these inflammatory mediators and severity measures of OSA and body mass index (BMI) were explored. RESULTS: Sixty-four patients completed the study (40 with OSA and 24 without OSA). Significantly increased levels of CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, and TNF-α emerged in patients with OSA compared to non-OSA. Significant associations between log CRP and log fibrinogen levels emerged with increasing BMI. However, there was no significant association between any of the inflammatory markers and the severity of OSA based on the apnea/hypopnea index or oxyhemoglobin saturation-derived parameters. CONCLUSIONS: OSA patients exhibit increased levels of inflammatory mediators that do not appear to be associated with polysomnographic measures, but exhibit positive correlation with the degree of adiposity.

Association between Interleukin-6 and vitamin D serum levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and impact of long-term continuous positive airway pressure therapy on biomarker levels. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 2021; 296:103806. [PMID: 34678476 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2021.103806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoxia induces interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Low serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels have been linked to OSAS susceptibility. Serum 25(OH)D levels have been negatively correlated with serum IL-6 levels in patients with chronic inflammation. No data exist to assess whether there is a correlation between 25(OH)D and IL-6 serum levels in OSAS, while the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy on IL-6 or 25(OH)D levels needs further investigation. We aimed to compare the serum 25(OH)D and IL-6 levels between OSAS patients and controls, examine a possible correlation between 25(OH)D and IL-6 levels and the changes of their concentrations after twelve months of CPAP therapy in OSAS patients. METHODS 15 newly-diagnosed OSAS patients and 15 non-apneic controls were recruited. Serum IL-6 and 25(OH)D levels were measured in the study population at baseline and twelve months after CPAP initiation in OSAS patients. RESULTS IL-6 levels were elevated in OSAS patients than controls and were positively and negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) and minimum oxyhemoglobin saturation (minSpO2), respectively. Diabetes mellitus, BMI and minSpO2 independently predicted IL-6 levels. No difference was found in 25(OH)D levels between groups. No correlation between IL-6 and 25(OH)D levels was detected. Effective CPAP therapy did not impact IL-6 or 25(OH)D levels after one year in OSAS patients. CONCLUSIONS No correlation between IL-6 and 25(OH)D levels was found. IL-6 levels were significantly elevated in OSAS patients than the controls and positively correlated with BMI, diabetes mellitus, and nocturnal hypoxemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Copeptin can act as a stable biomarker in inflammation and stress response that obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), can induce oxidative stress and consequently promotes systemic inflammation. The purpose of the study is to appraise serum copeptin level in adult patients with OSAS compared to the controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS Electronic search was done in the databases of PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library until June 2021, without any restrictions. For comparison of the serum copeptin level between groups, the mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by the Review Manager 5.3 software. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used by applying TSA software. RESULTS Among the databases, five articles (involving 495 OSAS patients and 135 controls) were included. To report the serum copeptin level in OSAS patients compared to controls, the pooled OR became 12.21pg/mL (95%CI: 2.31 to 22.11; P=0.02) and also the pooled OR for comparison of serum copeptin level in severe versus moderate/mild OSAS patients was 5.96pg/mL (95%CI: 1.46 to 10.47; P=0.009). The results of TSA illustrated that the Z-curve has not crossed the monitoring boundary curves and did not reach the required information size. CONCLUSIONS The main findings recommended that copeptin had a significantly higher serum level in OSAS patients compared to controls, as well as a significantly higher level in severe patients compared to mild/moderate OSAS patients for the serum level of copeptin.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic and widely prevalent disease, associated with multiple health disorders. Current diagnostic strategies for OSA are limited due to cost, time, and access. Epigenetic signatures offer insight into the relationships between disease and environment and could play a significant role in developing both diagnostic and therapeutic tools for OSA. In the current study, a systematic literature search was conducted to investigate the existing evidence of OSA-associated epigenetic modifications. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed using electronic academic databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, EBM Reviews, and Web of Science. However, the current study focused on screening for original, English language articles pertaining to OSA and associated epigenetic mechanisms. To produce unbiased results, screening was performed independently by authors. RESULTS We identified 2,944 publications in our systematic search. Among them, 65 research articles were related to OSA-associated differential gene expression, genetic variation, and epigenetic modifications. Although these 65 articles were considered for full manuscript review, only twelve articles met the criteria of OSA-associated epigenetic modifications in humans and animal models. Human subjects with OSA had unique epigenetic changes compared to healthy controls, and, interestingly, epigenetic signatures were commonly identified in genes associated with metabolic and inflammatory pathways. CONCLUSIONS Although the available studies are limited, this research provides novel insights for development of epigenetic markers for the diagnosis and treatment of OSA. Thorough genome wide investigations will be required to develop cost-effective, robust biomarkers for the identification of OSA among children and adults. Here, we offer a study design for such efforts.

Abstract
Introduction: During the first years of life, the oro-pharyngeal lymphoid tissue gradually increases in size, causing in some children difficulty breathing and often leading to surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids. The objective of the study is to assess the effects of the Mediterranean diet in children who had chronic upper airway obstruction. Material and methods: This was a prospective study pre-test/post-test comparison. Eighty-seven patients from two to eight years old were recruited. A food reeducation program based on the Mediterranean diet was applied for one year. Clinical, therapeutic, and anthropometric variables were studied. Results: The degree of nasal obstruction decreased in 95.1% of the patients. After the nutritional intervention, the number of colds with bacterial complications decreased by 80.26%; 60.9% had no bacterial complications during the year of the study. The use of antibiotics decreased by 81.94%. Symptomatic treatment decreased by 61.2%. Most patients did not require surgical intervention, and clinical evolution suggested that it would no longer be necessary. Conclusions: We can conclude by saying that the application of the traditional Mediterranean diet could be effective in the prevention and treatment of persistent nasal obstruction, limiting pharmacological and surgical intervention in many of these patients.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive parenchymal scarring, leading to dyspnoea, respiratory failure and premature death. Although IPF is confined to the lungs, the importance of IPF comorbidities such as pulmonary hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, lung cancer, emphysema/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux, sleep apnoea and depression has been increasingly recognized. These comorbidities may be associated with increased mortality and significant loss of quality of life, so their identification and management are vital. The development of good-quality biomarkers could lead to numerous gains in the management of these patients. Biomarkers can be used for the identification of predisposed individuals, early diagnosis, assessment of prognosis, selection of best treatment and assessment of response to treatment. However, the role of biomarkers for IPF comorbidities is still quite limited, and mostly based on evidence coming from populations without IPF. The future development of new biomarker studies could be informed by those that have been studied independently for each of these conditions. For now, clinicians should be mostly attentive to clinical manifestations of IPF comorbidities, and use validated diagnostic methods for diagnosis. As research on biomarkers of most common diseases continues, it is expected that useful biomarkers are developed for these diseases and then validated for IPF populations. The reviews of this paper are available via the supplemental material section.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and account for the largest share of health expenditure worldwide, mainly invested in hospital and secondary care. Prevention and rehabilitation strategies are nearly neglected, therefore "the Cinderellas," in the health-care budget. The World Health Organization has proposed cost-effective interventions to reduce the impact of cardiovascular diseases that include polydrug treatment for hypertension and diabetes, counselling, diet, exercise, and others. Obstructive sleep apnea is not even mentioned among these interventions; consequently, it could be "the Ugly Duckling of the Cinderellas." Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by the presence of obstructive apneas or hypopneas during sleep, accompanied by hypoxia; and it is a highly prevalent but under-diagnosed condition. Although awareness of sleep apnea has recently increased most facts about it remains ignored by many. Robust evidence suggests that OSA is associated with, or is an independent risk factor for, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure and arrhythmias and that its prevalence among some of these cardiovascular diseases is higher than 80%. The efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure treatment for obstructive sleep apnea has been established. If obstructive sleep apnea plays a significant role in cardiovascular diseases, then screening and timely appropriate treatment could reduce morbidity and mortality. Thus, the public health and economic impact of these conditions could be included in the "best buy" list of interventions. This narrative review discusses the relationship between OSA and cardiovascular diseases and how neglected the link is.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized as recurrent episodes of obstruction in the upper airway during the period of sleep. The condition occurs in approximately 11% and 4% of middle-aged men and middle-aged women, respectively. Polysomnography is a diagnostic procedure that involves the constant observation of oxygen saturation and unsaturation during sleep. Usually, positive airway pressure is considered a benchmark treatment for OSA. This review summarizes the recent developments and emerging evidence from molecular biology-based research studies that show that genetic factors have an influence on OSA. The genetic aspects of OSA that have been identified include heritability and other phenotypic co-factors such as anatomical morphology. It also draws attention to the results of a polymorphic-based study that was conducted to determine the causative single nucleotide mutations associated with obesity and adverse cardiovascular risk in OSA. However, the role of such mutations and their linkage to OSA can not yet be established. Nonetheless, a large body of evidence supports a strong association between inflammatory cytokine polymorphism and obesity in the development of OSA. There are also probable intermediate factors with several gene-gene interactions. Therefore, advanced applications and modern techniques should be applied to facilitate new findings and to minimize the risk of developing OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and frequently underdiagnosed sleep disorder tightly associated with a wide range of morbidities and an elevated risk of the main causes of mortality. This condition represents a major public health concern due to its increasing worldwide prevalence and its serious pathological consequences. Current clinical guidelines support the importance of effective diagnosis and treatment of OSA and emphasize the unmet need for biomarkers to guide medical decision-making. In recent years, the noncoding transcriptome has emerged as a new opportunity for biomarker discovery. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the current understanding of noncoding RNAs, specifically microRNAs (miRNAs). Then, we carefully address the potential role of miRNAs as novel indicators for the management of both pediatric and adult OSA, highlighting their translational applicability, particularly for diagnosis and therapy allocation. Finally, we identify the gaps in the research state-of-art, discuss current methodological and conceptual limitations and propose future key steps and perspectives for the incorporation of miRNAs into routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children is a prevalent, albeit largely undiagnosed disease associated with a large spectrum of morbidities. Overnight in-lab polysomnography remains the gold standard diagnostic approach, but is time-consuming, inconvenient, and expensive, and not readily available in many places. Simplified Home Respiratory Polygraphy (HRP) approaches have been proposed to reduce costs and facilitate the diagnostic process. However, evidence supporting the validity of HRP is still scarce, hampering its implementation in routine clinical use. The objectives were: Primary; to establish the diagnostic and therapeutic decision validity of a simplified HRP approach compared to PSG among children at risk of OSA. Secondary: (a) Analyze the cost-effectiveness of the HRP versus in-lab PSG in evaluation and treatment of pediatric OSA; (b) Evaluate the impact of therapeutic interventions based on HRP versus PSG findings six months after treatment using sleep and health parameters and quality of life instruments; (c) Discovery and validity of the urine biomarkers to establish the diagnosis of OSA and changes after treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to define and characterize current literature describing salivary biomarker changes with the goal of improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes for sleep apnea.Area Covered: A search of six databases yielded 401 peer-reviewed articles published through October 2019 corresponded to 221 unique references following deduplication. Twenty studies were selected. The sample size ranged from 17 to 99. The samples were mostly whole saliva and selected glandular areas.Expert Opinion: Most targeted studies focused on the level of salivary cortisol and ɑ-amylase. One study used RNA transcriptome analysis of 96 genes. Only two explored novel targets using mass spectrometry. ɑ-amylase, myeloperoxidase, and IL-6 were among those biomarkers found associated with OSA. Cytokeratin, CystatinB, calgranulin A, and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein are upregulated in OSA patients based on non-targeting mass spectrometry. Salivary cortisol and ɑ-amylase and others appeared to be associated with severity of OSA and OSA treatment. There were inconsistencies in saliva collection and processing protocols. More studies are needed in exploring novel biomarkers to examine if these biomarkers are capable of diagnosing and monitoring OSA through proteomics or transcriptomics. Salivary biomarkers have a potential to be a noninvasive measure for the disease diagnosis and treatment outcome monitoring for sleep apnea.

Abstract
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a relatively common sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) affecting approximately 1-5% of children, is often caused by anatomical obstruction and/or collapse of the nasal and/or pharyngeal airways. The resulting sleep disruption and intermittent hypoxia lead to various systemic morbidities. Predicting the development of OSA from craniofacial features alone is currently not possible and a controversy remains if upper airway obstruction facilitates reduced midfacial growth or vice-versa. Currently, there is no rodent model that recapitulates both the development of craniofacial abnormalities and upper airway obstruction to address these questions. Here, we describe that mice with a neural crest-specific deletion of Bmp7 (Bmp7ncko) present with shorter, more acute angled cranial base, midfacial hypoplasia, nasal septum deviation, turbinate swelling and branching defects, and nasal airway obstruction. Interestingly, several of these craniofacial features develop after birth during periods of rapid midfacial growth and precede the development of an upper airway obstruction. We identified that in this rodent model, no single feature appeared to predict upper airway obstruction, but the sum of those features resulted in a reduced breathing frequency, apneas and overall reduced oxygen consumption. Metabolomics analysis of serum from peripheral blood identified increased levels of hydroxyproline, a metabolite upregulated under hypoxic conditions. As this model recapitulates many features observed in OSA, it offers unique opportunities for studying how upper airway obstruction affects breathing physiology and leads to systemic morbidities.

Abstract
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious threat to individual health. Diagnosis of OSA is mainly polysomnography (PSG). However, PSG monitoring is costly and time-consuming. At present, increasing studies are exploring new diagnostic methods for OSA. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic role of Sestrin2 in OSA. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four subjects were recruited in this study. The concentration of plasma Sestrin2 of all subjects were measured and compared. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between plasma Sestrin2 concentration and other factors. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to investigate the role of Sestrin2 in the diagnosis of OSA, moderate-severe and severe OSA. Results: Subjects were divided into OSA group (n = 38) and control (n = 26). Levels of Plasma Sestrin2 were significantly higher in OSA patients than in controls. Sestrin2 was positively correlated with oxygen reduction index and negatively correlated with mean oxygen saturation and lowest oxygen saturation. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of Sestrin2 for OSA diagnosis was 0.740 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.615–0.842], the cutoff value was 1.86 ng/mL, and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.58% and 61.54%, respectively. The AUC of Sestrin2 for the diagnosis of severe OSA was 0.801 (95% CI, 0.682–0.890), and the cutoff value was 5.21 ng/mL exhibiting the sensitivity and specificity of 61.90% and 90.70%, respectively. Conclusion: Setrin2 is a marker for OSA and may be helpful in the diagnosis of OSA.

Abstract
PURPOSE We have previously demonstrated that dogs can be trained to distinguish the urine of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from that of healthy controls based on olfaction. Encouraged by these promising results, we wanted to investigate if a detection dog could work as a screening tool for OSA. The objective of this study was to prospectively assess the dogs' ability to identify sleep apnea in patients with OSA suspicion. METHODS Urine samples were collected from 50 patients suspected of having OSA. The urine sample was classified as positive for OSA when the patient had a respiratory event index of 5/h or more. The accuracy of two trained dogs in identifying OSA was tested in a prospective blinded setting. RESULTS Both of the dogs correctly detected approximately half of the positive and negative samples. There were no statistically significant differences in the dogs' ability to recognize more severe cases of OSA, as compared to milder cases. CONCLUSION According to our study, dogs cannot be used to screen for OSA in clinical settings, most likely due to the heterogenic nature of OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common clinical condition associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent evidence from clinical studies and animal models suggest that OSA can promote cardiovascular disease by inducing autonomic, hemodynamic, inflammatory and metabolic dysregulation. However, most of the evidence addressing hard endpoints in humans is derived from observational studies. Several challenges have been noted in the pursuit of a comprehensive knowledge base about the impact of OSA including: 1) the precise mechanisms by which OSA causes metabolic and cardiovascular consequences are not clear, which limits our current ability to address potential targets in OSA; 2) several patients with OSA, even with severe forms, present with no or mild daytime symptoms. Beyond the obvious challenges for obtaining good adherence for conventional OSA treatments, there is evidence that symptomatic vs. asymptomatic patients with OSA do not necessarily have the same metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes; and 3) the cardiovascular response to OSA treatment may vary even in those patients with good adherence. In this scenario, there is an obvious need to develop biomarkers in the OSA research area. This review focuses on describing the advances that have occurred so far in exploring potential OSA biomarkers with clear emphasis for the cardiovascular risk. Particular attention will be devoted to discuss molecular biomarkers including the potential role of microRNAs, proteomics and metabolomics. We also discuss the major challenges and perspectives in this growing research field.

Abstract
PURPOSE In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), hypoxia secondary to apnea and hypopnea and the resulting systemic inflammatory response are the main causes of comorbidities. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between OSA and vimentin, which plays an important role in the activation of cells that synthesize inflammatory cytokines. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 150 OSA patients (50 mild, 50 moderate, and 50 severe OSA) and 50 patients without OSA as a control group. Plasma vimentin levels were measured from peripheral blood samples using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. RESULTS The OSA patients in our study had significantly higher body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), triglyceride level, mean oxygen desaturation, and plasma vimentin levels compared to the healthy control group (p = 0.007, 0.001, 0004, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). Plasma vimentin level was significantly higher in the moderate and severe OSA groups compared to the control and mild OSA groups (p = 0.001 for all). There was no difference between severe and moderate OSA. There were significant correlations between plasma vimentin levels and OSA patients' AHI and mean oxygen desaturation (r = 0.46, p = 0.001; r = 0.214, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION In this study, we observed significant positive correlations between plasma vimentin level and OSA severity, weight, AHI, and mean oxygen desaturation. Vimentin may have utility as a biomarker in the follow-up and treatment of OSA.

[PMID: 31898194 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-019-02003-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with multiple comorbid conditions including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. There is a growing interest in exploring biomarkers to understand the related mechanisms and improve the risk stratification of OSA. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are single noncoding strands of nearly 22 nucleotides that posttranscriptionally regulate target gene expression. Our aim was to identify miRNA profiles associated with OSA. METHODS We studied 48 male subjects, mostly Caucasian (63%) and overweight, divided by polysomnography into the no OSA control group (n = 6), mild OSA group (n = 12), moderate OSA group (n = 15), and severe OSA group (n = 15). The study groups were matched for age, body mass index (BMI), and body fat composition. miRNA profiles were measured from peripheral whole blood using two steps: (1) microarray analysis comprising more than 2500 miRNAs in a subsample of 12 subjects (three from each group); and (2) validation phase using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTqPCR). RESULTS The microarray assessment identified 21 differentially expressed miRNAs among the groups. The RT-qPCR assessment showed that miR-1254 and miR-320e presented a gradual increase in expression parallel to OSA severity. Linear regression analysis showed that severe OSA was independently associated with miR-1254 (ß = 68.4; EP = 29.8; p = 0.02) and miR-320e (ß = 76.1; EP = 31.3; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Severe OSA is independently associated with miRNAs that are involved in heart failure (miR-1254), myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (miR-320e), and cell proliferation in some cancer types (miR-1254 and miR-320e). Future investigations addressing whether these miRs may provide prognostic information in OSA are needed.

Abstract
Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major health problem that has been associated with endocrine dysfunction in the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axes. This study investigated cortisol, testosterone, and the testosterone/cortisol ratio in patients with OSA compared to normal sleepers. Methods Thirty‐nine OSA patients diagnosed by overnight polysomnography (PSG) were divided into three groups, including ten mild OSA patients, 16 patients with moderate OSA, and 13 patients with severe OSA according to the apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI). In addition, 13 normal sleepers with normal PSG findings were recruited as the control group. Serum levels of cortisol, testosterone, and sex hormone‐binding globulin (SHBG) were measured using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results There were no significant differences between the normal sleepers and the three subtypes of OSA in terms of total and free testosterone levels (P > .1). The results showed significantly higher levels of cortisol in the severe OSA group compared to the normal sleepers and the two other subtypes of OSA (P < .01). In addition, the testosterone/cortisol (T/C) ratio was significantly lower among the severe OSA compared to the moderate OSA patients (P = .01). A significant correlation was observed between minimal SpO2 and AHI (r=−0.69, P < .01), cortisol and AHI (r = .47, P < .01) and cortisol and minimal SpO2 (r = −.26, P = .06). Conclusion According to the findings, OSA is linked to HPA axis activity in severe OSA patients but not among the mild and moderate subtypes of the disorder.

Abstract
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) represents only part of a large group of pathologies of variable entity called respiratory sleep disorders (RSD) which include simple snoring and increased upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). Although the etiopathogenesis of adult OSAS is well known, many aspects of this syndrome in children are still debated. Its prevalence is about 2% in children from 2 to 8 years of age, mostly related to the size of the upper airways adenoid tissue. Several risk factors linked to the development of OSAS are typical of the pediatric age. The object of this paper is to analyze the state of the art on this specific topic, discussing its implications in terms of diagnosis and management.

Abstract
PURPOSE In obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) many proinflammatory cytokines are released from activated endothelial cells due to repeated decreases in arterial oxygen saturation. Some of these proinflammatory cytokines are involved in the etiology of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although the association between OSAS and CAD is known, risk factors for CAD have not been determined in this patient group. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. In this study, we compared the frequency of MCP1 rs1024610-rs1024611 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in OSAS patients with no comorbidity, OSAS patients with no comorbidity except CAD, and healthy individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 301 subjects. Two hundred one patients with OSAS (OSAS only and OSAS + CAD groups) and 100 healthy control subjects underwent polysomnography. MCP1 rs1024610 and rs1024611 mutation frequencies were determined. RESULTS Body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, triglyceride levels, and mean oxygen desaturation were significantly higher in the OSAS patients than in the healthy population (p < 0.05). In MCP1 rs1024611 SNP analysis, homozygous mutation was significantly more common in the OSAS + CAD group than in the OSAS and control groups (p < 0.001). MCP1 rs1024610 SNP analysis showed no significant differences among the study groups. CONCLUSION OSAS patients with homozygous MCP1 rs1024611 SNP are at higher risk for CAD. The MCP1 rs1024610 SNP was not associated with incidence of CAD. Patients with OSAS and MCP1 rs1024611 homozygous mutation are more susceptible to CAD and early detection and treatment may significantly reduce mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The circulating level of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (AFABP), a biomarker with prognostic and therapeutic importance in metabolic disorders, has been shown to be elevated in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment for OSA on AFABP levels. METHODS Consecutive subjects attending sleep study were invited if they were confirmed to have severe OSA and were free of metabolic diseases. Participants were randomized (1:1) into CPAP or observation group for 4 weeks. Demographics, anthropometric data, and circulating biomarkers were checked at baseline and after the 4-week study period. RESULTS Ninety subjects were randomized. The mean age was 46 ± 9 years old; 82% were male. Their mean body mass index (BMI) was 29 ± 5 kg/m2. By intention-to-treat approach, the CPAP group showed significant reductions in Epworth sleepiness scale and morning systolic blood pressure (- 7.2 mmHg, - 12.7 to - 1.7 mmHg, p = 0.011), but no significant difference in AFABP, adiponectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and 8-isoprostane levels. In the per-protocol analysis, when only those who were compliant to CPAP were included, a significant reduction in AFABP (- 7.32 ng/ml, - 13.58, - 1.06, p = 0.023) were found in the CPAP-treated group compared with the control group, along with improvements in clinical parameters. Changes in AFABP were independently associated with both systolic blood pressure (β = 0.289, p = 0.028) and diastolic blood pressure (β = 0.217, p = 0.030). CONCLUSION CPAP therapy used regularly over 4 weeks for severe OSA lowered circulating AFABP level, suggesting a potential beneficial effect of OSA treatment on alleviating metabolic risks. TRIAL REGISTRATION The research protocol was registered at the National Institutes of Health clinical trials registry (NCT01173432).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases health risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Both genetic factors and environmental exposures contribute to the occurrence of OSA. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of four functional inflammatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (VWF rs1063856, IL-6 rs1800796, TNF rs1800629, and CRP rs2794521) in the susceptibility and severity of OSA. METHODS A case-control study of OSA among Chinese population was conducted. Genotyping was performed using ABI TaqMan SNP genotyping technique. RESULTS We found VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.50, 95% CIs = 1.10-2.04; p = 0.010), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.32, 95% CIs = 1.11-1.56; p = 0.002), TNF rs1800629 (OR = 1.44, 95% CIs = 1.13-1.83; p = 0.003), and CRP rs2794521 (OR = 1.27, 95% CIs = 1.04-1.55; p = 0.021) were all significantly associated with increased susceptibility of OSA, while VWF rs1063856 (OR = 1.75, 95% CIs = 1.18-2.62; p = 0.006), IL-6 rs1800796 (OR = 1.39, 95% CIs = 1.10-1.76; p = 0.006) were associated with the severity of OSA. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that functional variants of inflammatory biomarkers could cause the occurrence of OSA and influence the severity of OSA. These findings further support that inflammatory cytokines were closely related to the occurrence and development of OSA.

Abstract
Purpose: This study examined whether circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) is elevated in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) independent of the confounding effects of comorbidities, smoking, body mass index (BMI), age and gender. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases from 1 January 1997 to 1 November 2017 using the key words obstructive sleep apnoea and C-Reactive protein to identify full text English language studies that compared CRP in adult non-smoking OSA participants without comorbidities and adult healthy non-smoking control participants matched for BMI, age and gender. Data from eligible studies were subjected to meta-analysis using RevMan version 5.3. Results: Five studies (219 OSA participants, 116 controls) met the selection criteria. The total standard mean difference for circulating high sensitivity CRP was 0.61 mg/dL higher in OSA participants than in control participants (confidence interval: 0.38 to 0.84, p < 0.00001), with low between-studies heterogeneity (df = 7, p = 0.16, I2 = 33%) and minimal evidence of publication bias. Conclusions: CRP levels in non-smoking OSA participants without comorbidities were increased relative to levels in healthy matched non-smoking control participants, suggesting that pharyngeal or systemic inflammatory effects attributable to OSA may elevate CRP.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), paralleled by intermittent collapse of the upper airway. EDS may be the symptom of OSAHS per se but may also be due to the alteration of central circadian regulation. Irisin is a putative myokine and has been shown to induce BDNF expression in several sites of the brain. BDNF is a key factor regulating photic entrainment and consequent circadian alignment and adaptation to the environment. Therefore, we hypothesized that EDS accompanying OSAHS is reflected by alteration of irisin/BDNF axis. METHODS Case history, routine laboratory parameters, serum irisin and BDNF levels, polysomnographic measures and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaire (ESS) were performed in a cohort of OSAHS patients (n = 69). Simple and then multiple linear regression was used to evaluate data. RESULTS We found that EDS reflected by the ESS is associated with higher serum irisin and BDNF levels; β: 1.53; CI: 0.35, 6.15; p = 0.012 and β: 0.014; CI: 0.0.005, 0.023; p = 0.02, respectively. Furthermore, influence of irisin and BDNF was significant even if the model accounted for their interaction (p = 0.006 for the terms serum irisin, serum BDNF and their interaction). Furthermore, a concentration-dependent effect of both serum irisin and BDNF was evidenced with respect to their influence on the ESS. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the irisin-BDNF axis influences subjective daytime sleepiness in OSAS patients reflected by the ESS. These results further imply the possible disruption of the circadian regulation in OSAHS. Future interventional studies are needed to confirm this observation.

Abstract
AIM To highlight Canada's contributions to the assessment and treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea as well as outline the current state of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea in Canada. METHODS A search was conducted in MEDLINE (Ovid) using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and free-text terms for 'child' and 'obstructive sleep apnea' with subsequent 'human' limit. The results were reviewed to identify publications where any author's listed a Canadian institution. RESULTS Canadian contributions to the field of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea have grown over the last 30 years with an increase in number of contributors and centres. Much of the early work stemmed from McGill University with important contributions in examining alternatives to polysomnography and post-adenotonsillectomy respiratory compromise. Today, contributors from centres across the country are engaged in the field and come from a greater diversity of disciplines. With continued challenges and opportunities, Canada will continue to help advance the field of pediatric OSA. CONCLUSION Canada has a strong community of people invested in continuing to work to improve the lives of Canadian children with pediatric OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that is associated with daytime symptoms and a range of comorbidity and mortality. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is highly efficacious at preventing OSA when in use and has long been the standard treatment for newly diagnosed patients. However, CPAP therapy has well recognised limitations in real world effectiveness due to issues with patient acceptance and suboptimal usage. There is a clear need to enhance OSA treatment strategies and options. Although there are a range of alternative treatments (e.g. weight loss, oral appliances, positional devices, surgery, and emerging therapies such as sedatives and oxygen), generally there are individual differences in efficacy and often OSA will not be completely eliminated. There is increasing recognition that OSA is a heterogeneous disorder in terms of risk factors, clinical presentation, pathophysiology and comorbidity. Better characterisation of OSA heterogeneity will enable tailored approaches to therapy to ensure treatment effectiveness. Tools to elucidate individual anatomical and pathophysiological phenotypes in clinical practice are receiving attention. Additionally, recognising patient preferences, treatment enhancement strategies and broader assessment of treatment effectiveness are part of tailoring therapy at the individual level. This review provides a narrative of current treatment approaches and limitations and the future potential for individual tailoring to enhance treatment effectiveness.

Eur Respir J 2018; 53:13993003.01788-2018.

Abstract
The ability of a cloud-driven Bluetooth oximetry-based algorithm to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) was examined in habitually snoring children concurrently undergoing overnight polysomnography.Children clinically referred for overnight in-laboratory polysomnographic evaluation for suspected OSAS were simultaneously hooked to a Bluetooth oximeter linked to a smartphone. Polysomnography findings were scored and the apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHIPSG) was tabulated, while oximetry data yielded an estimated AHIOXI using a validated algorithm.The accuracy of the oximeter in identifying correctly patients with OSAS in general, or with mild (AHI 1–5 events·h−1), moderate (5–10 events·h−1) or severe (>10 events·h−1) OSAS was examined in 432 subjects (6.5±3.2 years), with 343 having AHIPSG >1 event·h−1. The accuracies of AHIOXI were consistently >79% for all levels of OSAS severity, and specificity was particularly favourable for AHI >10 events·h−1 (92.7%). Using the criterion of AHIPSG >1 event·h−1, only 4.7% of false-negative cases emerged, from which only 0.6% of cases showed moderate or severe OSAS.Overnight oximetry processed via Bluetooth technology by a cloud-based machine learning-derived algorithm can reliably diagnose OSAS in children with clinical symptoms suggestive of the disease. This approach provides virtually limitless scalability and should alleviate the substantial difficulties in accessing paediatric sleep laboratories while markedly reducing the costs of OSAS diagnosis.
