[Study on the effect of in vitro cultured calculus bovis in perioperative period after H-UPPP operation].

TThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of in vitro cultured Calculus Bovis on the inflammation of oropharynx and body in patients with OSA during the perioperative period of H-UPPP.Eighty patients with OSA and H-UPPP indications were enrolled. The patients were divided into experimental group and control group by random number table, 40 cases in each group. The experimental group was given in vitro cultured Calculus Bovis, while the control group was not given bovine bezoar in vitro. The postoperative oropharyngeal pain, time to resume normal diet, local edema, concentration of IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α in saliva, and concentration of IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α in blood were compared between the two groups. The pain of oropharynx in the experimental group was lighter than that in the control group on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day after operation (<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the pain of oropharynx between the two groups on the 1st day after operation(>0.05); the time of restoring normal diet in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group (<0.05); the edema of oropharynx in the experimental group was lighter than that in the control group on the 5th and 7th day after operation (<0.05).The levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α in saliva were lower than those in control group on the 3rd, 5th and 7th day after operation (<0.05), and the levels of IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α in blood on the 5th and 7th day after operation were lower than those in control group (<0.05).In vitro perioperative period of H-UPPP can improve the postoperative sore throat and local edema of oropharynx, shorten the time of normal diet and reduce the expression of related inflammatory factors in oropharynx and blood.
