To investigate whether the existence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with low grade chronic inflammation.
Fifty-four patients hospitalized for poor glycemic control from 12/2008 to 12/2009 were divided into 2 groups, OSAS group (T2DM with OSAS, 27 cases) and NOSAS group (T2DM without OSAS, 27 cases). The control group consisted of 26 people from a health check-up program without diabetes and OSAS. Biochemical indexes were analyzed in central laboratory of the hospital. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), lipopolysaccharides (LPS), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI) levels were determined with commercial ELISA kits. Apnea hypopnea index (AHI), the lowest pulse oxygen saturation (LSpO₂) at night were measured with a portable home sleep monitor.
Homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), AHI in OSAS group were higher than those in NOSAS group and control group [for HOMA-IR, 2.7 ± 1.5 vs 1.7 ± 0.9 vs 1.2 ± 0.7, and for AHI, (17.0 ± 13.0) vs (3.4 ± 1.3) vs (3.2 ± 1.2) per hour], and LSpO₂ was lower than that in NOSAS group and control group [(78 ± 11)% vs (87 ± 4)% vs (89 ± 6)%]. Compared with normal control, levels of TNF-α [(0.73 ± 0.19) vs (1.97 ± 0.13) vs (1.09 ± 0.29) ng/ml], LPS [(50 ± 11) vs (303 ± 70) vs (171 ± 49) pg/ml], MCP [(302 ± 41) vs (514 ± 122) vs (473 ± 134) pg/ml] and PAI [(0.89 ± 0.25) vs (2.27 ± 0.85) vs (1.59 ± 0.13) ng/ml] in patients with OSAS and with NOSAS group increased significantly. Pearson univariate correlation analysis revealed that TNF-α and PAI were both positively associated with HOMA-IR, FBG and AHI, and negatively with LSpO₂, LPS, MCP were both associated positively with FBG and AHI, and negatively with LSpO₂. Multiple linear regression stepwise analysis found that TNF-α and LPS were independently associated with AHI and FBG, MCP with LSpO₂, PAI with both AHI and HOMA-IR.
Patients with diabetes and OSAS show raised level of chronic inflammatory activity.
探讨2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者中阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)的存在是否与低度慢性炎症相关。
将2008年12月至2009年12月因血糖控制不佳住院的54例患者分为2组,OSAS组(T2DM合并OSAS,27例)和NOSAS组(T2DM不合并OSAS,27例)。对照组由26名来自健康体检项目且无糖尿病和OSAS的人员组成。在医院中心实验室分析生化指标。用商用ELISA试剂盒测定血清肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、脂多糖(LPS)、单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP)和纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1(PAI)水平。用便携式家庭睡眠监测仪测量呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)、夜间最低脉搏血氧饱和度(LSpO₂)。
OSAS组的稳态模型评估胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)、AHI高于NOSAS组和对照组[HOMA-IR分别为2.7±1.5、1.7±0.9、1.2±0.7,AHI分别为(17.0±13.0)、(3.4±1.3)、(3.2±1.2)次/小时],LSpO₂低于NOSAS组和对照组[分别为(78±11)%、(87±4)%、(89±6)%]。与正常对照组相比,OSAS组和NOSAS组患者的TNF-α[(0.73±0.19)、(1.97±0.13)、(1.09±0.29)ng/ml]、LPS[(50±11)、(303±70)、(171±49)pg/ml]、MCP[(302±41)、(514±122)、(473±134)pg/ml]和PAI[(0.89±0.25)、(2.27±0.85)、(1.59±0.13)ng/ml]水平显著升高。Pearson单因素相关性分析显示,TNF-α和PAI均与HOMA-IR、空腹血糖(FBG)和AHI呈正相关,与LSpO₂呈负相关,LPS、MCP均与FBG和AHI呈正相关,与LSpO₂呈负相关。多元线性回归逐步分析发现,TNF-α和LPS与AHI和FBG独立相关,MCP与LSpO₂相关,PAI与AHI和HOMA-IR均相关。
糖尿病合并OSAS患者的慢性炎症活动水平升高。
