ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) refers to apnea and hypopnea caused by repeated obstruction of upper respiratory tract collapse during sleep, accompanied by snoring and irregular snoring, daytime sleepiness and repeated arousal.Studies have shown that arousal is associated with daytime sleepiness and other symptoms and some complications in OSA patients.Based on literature review, this paper reviews the current research on OSA and arousal.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the prognostic index for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods The expression of nm23-H 1 protein in the tissue specimens of 115 NPC patients was detected by immunohistochemical S-P staining before radiotherapy. The 115 patients were treated in 1992～1994, underwent the whole radiotherapy, and were followed up for over 5 years. The association of nm23-H 1 protein expression with the clincal staging of NPC, radiosensitivity of tumor, survival rate of patients, and relapse and metastasis of carcinoma was analyzed. Results The positive rate of nm23-H 1 expression in NPC was 47.8%. The tumor clinical staging, lymph nodes metastasis, and patient survival rate were closely correlated with the low level expression of nm23-H 1 protein in NPC. Conclusion The low level expression of nm23-H 1 protein may be associated with the development and poor prognosis of NPC.
