Clinical Analysis for Serum Level of Salusins and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome in Patients With Hypertension / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the changes and signiifcance of serum level of salusins in patients with essential hypertension (EH), obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and OSAHS complicated hypertension. Methods: Our research included 4 groups EH+OSAHS group,n=50, EH group,n=60, OSAHS group,n=35 and Control group,n=31 healthy subjects. Blood pressure, AHI index, body weight, height and routine biochemical examination were conducted and recorded in all subjects, serum levels of salusin-α and salusin-β were detected by ELISA, the relationship between each variable and OSAHS complicated hypertension was studied by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:①Serum levels of salusin-α were reduced accordingly as in Control group (7.438±1.626) pg/ml, in OSAHS group (6.186±1.200) pg/ml, in EH group (5.938±1.287) pg/ml and in EH+OSAHS group (5.299±1.398) pg/ml; for difference between OSAHS group and EH group,P>0.05 and for differences between other groups, allP0.05 and fordifferences between other groups, allP Conclusion: Low serum levels of salusin-α and salusin-β were related to OSAHS complicated hypertension.
