Abstract
This study explores the potential mechanisms of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) complicates type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by which chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces insulin resistance and cell apoptosis in the pancreas through oxidative stress. Four- and eight-week CIH rat models were established, and Tempol (100 mg/kg/d), was used as an oxidative stress inhibitor. This study included five groups: 4-week CIH, 4-week CIH-Tempol, 8-week CIH, 8-week CIH-Tempol and normal control (NC) groups. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels were measured in the serum. The expression levels of 8-hidroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), tribbles homologue 3 (TRB3), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), phosphorylated IRS-1 (Ser307) (p-IRS-1ser307 ), protein kinase B (AKT), phosphorylated AKT (Ser473) (p-AKTser473 ), B cell lymphoma protein-2 (Bcl-2), cleaved-caspase-3 (Cl-caspase-3), and the islet cell apoptosis were detected in the pancreas. CIH induced oxidative stress in the pancreas. Compared with that in the NC group and CIH-Tempol groups individually, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and apoptosis of islet cells was increased in the CIH groups. CIH-induced oxidative stress increased the expression of p-IRS-1Ser307 and decreased the expression of p-AKTSer473 . The expression levels of TRB3 and p-JNK were higher in the CIH groups than in both the CIH-Tempol and NC groups. Meanwhile, the expressions of Cl-caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in the CIH groups. Hence, the present study demonstrated that CIH-induced oxidative stress might not only induce insulin resistance but also islet cell apoptosis in the pancreas through TRB3 and p-JNK.

Abstract
Background Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant contributor to stroke, intracerebral hemorrhages, and vascular dementia, particularly in the elderly. Early diagnosis remains challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel nomogram for the early diagnosis of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). We focused on integrating cerebrovascular risk factors and blood biochemical markers to identify individuals at high risk of CSVD, thus enabling early intervention. Methods In a retrospective study conducted at the neurology department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University from January 2020 to June 2022, 587 patients were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (70%, n = 412) and a validation set (30%, n = 175). The nomogram was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis, with variables selected through the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) technique. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Out of 88 analyzed biomarkers, 32 showed significant differences between the CSVD and non-CSVD groups. The LASSO regression identified 12 significant indicators, with nine being independent clinical predictors of CSVD. The AUC-ROC values of the nomogram were 0.849 (95% CI: 0.821-0.894) in the training set and 0.863 (95% CI: 0.810-0.917) in the validation set, indicating excellent discriminative ability. Calibration plots demonstrated good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities in both sets. DCA showed that the nomogram had significant clinical utility. Conclusions The study successfully developed a nomogram predictive model for CSVD, incorporating nine clinical predictive factors. This model offers a valuable tool for early identification and risk assessment of CSVD, potentially enhancing clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been proposed as a factor that worsens stroke prognosis. Our aim was to determine if an OSA intervention could improve quality of life (QOL, first objective) and modified Rankin score (mRS, second objective). PATIENTS AND METHODS The intervention group of this quasi-experimental study included patients with acute ischemic stroke <72 hours who underwent polygraphy and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and hygienic-dietary measures if required. The control group followed routine clinical practice. The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and mRS were applied at the sixth month after stroke in both groups. RESULTS Fifty-five vs. sixty-two patients were included in the intervention and control group respectively. In the intervention group, 64.71% of patients accepted the proposed CPAP (16 cases with a good adherence). An improvement in SF-36 items was detected in the intervention group: physical functioning (p = 0.008), role physical (p = 0.002), bodily pain (p = 0.008), general health (p <0.001), vitality (p = 0.001) and role emotional (p = 0.015). In a per-protocol analysis, all these improvements were verified in the group of patients treated with good CPAP adherence (p < 0.05 in all the same SF-36 items). The percentage of patients with physical component summatory = 50 was higher in the intervention group (p = 0.003). There were no differences in the median of mRS (p = 0.262). CONCLUSIONS Although more evidence is needed, a significant improvement in QOL was suggested after our OSA intervention, particularly in patients with good CPAP adherence.

Is myocardial strain an early marker of systolic dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnoea? Findings from a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies. J Hypertens 2022; 40:1461-1468. [PMID: 35881447 DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000003199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
AIM We investigated the association between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and subclinical systolic dysfunction through a meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies that provided data on left ventricular (LV) mechanics as assessed by global longitudinal strain (GLS). DESIGN The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE, and Cochrane library databases were systematically analyzed to search English-language articles published from inception to 31 December 2021. Studies were detected by using the following terms: 'obstructive sleep apnea', 'sleep quality', 'sleep disordered breathing', 'cardiac damage', 'left ventricular hypertrophy', 'systolic dysfunction', 'global longitudinal strain', 'left ventricular mechanics', 'echocardiography' and 'speckle tracking echocardiography'. RESULTS The meta-analysis included 889 patients with OSA and 364 non-OSA controls from 12 studies. Compared with controls, GLS was significantly reduced in the pooled OSA group (SMD -1.24 ± 0.17, CI: -1.58 to -0.90, P < 0.0001), as well as in the normotensive OSA subgroup (SMD: -1.17 ± 0.12 CI:-1.40 to -0.95, P < 0.0001). Similar findings were obtained in sub-analyses performed separately in mild, moderate and severe OSA. This was not the case for LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (i.e. comparisons between controls vs. mild OSA, mild vs. moderate OSA, moderate vs. severe OSA). CONCLUSION GLS is impaired in patients with OSA (independently from hypertension), worsening progressively from mild to moderate and severe forms, thus allowing to identify subclinical alterations of the systolic function not captured by LVEF. Therefore, myocardial strain assessment should be implemented systematically in the OSA setting to timely detect systolic dysfunction.
