[Expression and significance of serum hepatocyte growth factor and myeloperoxidase in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].

Objective:The aim of this study is to explore the expression and significance of serum HGF and MPO in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in adults. Method:Ninety-six cases of OSAHS patients diagnosed by PSG were divided into 3 groups: Heavy, medium and light according to the range of AHI; 32 cases of outpatients were healthy persons as the control group. The serum HGF and MPO were determined by ELISA; HGF and MPO were measured after comprehensive treat with CPAP in patients with severe OSAHS, and the correlation between HGF, MPO and PSG were analyzed. Result:①With the severity of OSAHS patients increased, the serum levels of HGF and MPO increased gradually (F=119.006, 25.138; P<0.05); The concentration of HGF and MPO in each group showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups compared with the control group (P>0.05); The rest of the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05). ②There was no correlation between serum levels of HGF, MPO, BMI and age in OSAHS patients (P>0.05). The change of serum concentration was positively related to the two. All were negatively correlated with AHI, and positively correlated with LSaO₂ (P<0.05). ③LSaO₂ of 32 patients with severe OSAHS of has significantly increased after 3 months of comprehensive treatment, AHI and peripheral blood HGF, MPO levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The amylin and myeloperoxidase concentrations of blood after 6 months of treatment were significantly lower than those of 3 months after treatment (P<0.05), which still increased compared with the control group. Conclusion:Surgery combined with CPAP treatment can significantly reduce the degree of hypoxia and cardiovascular damage in OSAHS patients, which was significantly correlated with the treatment time. Combined detection of serum HGF and MPO concentrations in patients with OSAHS has a certain clinical value in judging the condition and curative effect and evaluating the cardiovascular damage.
