Obstructive Sleep

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is chronic disorder which is characterized by recurrent pauses of breathing during sleep which leads to hypoxia and its two main pathological sequelae: oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Both are also associated with cellular senescence. As OSA patients present with higher prevalence of age-related disorders, such as atrial hypertension or diabetes mellitus type 2, a relationship between OSA and accelerated aging is observable. Furthermore, it has been established that these OSA are associated with telomere shortening. This process in OSA is likely caused by increased oxidative DNA damage due to increased reactive oxygen species levels, DNA repair disruptions, hypoxia, chronic inflammation, and circadian clock disturbances. The aim of the review is to summarize study outcomes on changes in leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in OSA patients and describe possible molecular mechanisms which connect cellular senescence and the pathophysiology of OSA. The majority of OSA patients are characterized by LTL attrition due to oxidative stress, hypoxia and inflammation, which make a kind of positive feedback loop, and circadian clock disturbance.

Abstract Background Understanding the causes and risk factors of metabolic syndrome is important for promoting population health. Oxidative stress has been associated with metabolic syndrome, and also obstructive sleep apnea. These are two diseases which have common prognostic characteristics for heart disease. The aim of this study was to examine the role of oxidative stress in the concurrent presence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea in a working population. Methods Participants were 163 artisan bakers in Shahroud, Iran, routinely exposed to significant heat stress and other oxidative stress indicators on a daily basis as part of their work. Using a cross-sectional design, data relevant to determining metabolic syndrome status according to International Diabetes Federation criteria, and the presence of obstructive sleep apnea according to the STOP-Bang score, was collected. Analyses included hierarchical binary logistic regression to yield predictors of the two diseases. Results Hierarchical binary logistic regression showed that oxidative stress – alongside obesity, no regular exercise, and smoking – was an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome, but not obstructive sleep apnea. Participants who were obese were 28 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome (OR 28.59, 95% CI 4.91–63.02) and 44 times more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OR 44.48, 95% CI 4.91–403.28). Participants meeting metabolic syndrome criteria had significantly higher levels of malondialdehyde (p <  0.05) than those who did not. No difference in oxidative stress index levels were found according to obstructive sleep apnea status. Conclusions Our findings suggest that oxidative stress contributes to the onset of metabolic syndrome, and that obstructive sleep apnea is involved in oxidative stress. Whilst obesity, exercise, and smoking remain important targets for reducing the incidence of metabolic syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea, policies to control risks of prolonged exposure to oxidative stress are also relevant in occupations where such environmental conditions exist.

With increasing life expectancy, the unique healthcare needs of the older patient are being better appreciated. To address these growing needs, which differ from those of the average adult patient, otolaryngologists must acquire new knowledge and competencies. This chapter provides a broad overview of geriatric otolaryngology and highlights subspecialty topics where otolaryngologists are called upon to administer care. These include age-related hearing loss, balance disorders, sinonasal disease, voice and swallowing disorders, obstructive sleep apnea and head and neck cancer. Geriatric concerns in each of these specific areas have to be addressed in the broader context of geriatric syndromes in coordination with geriatricians or other geriatric-trained providers to advance an integrated, team-based approach to maintaining or restoring the older patients’ well-being. This review contains 3 figures, 2 tables and 161 references Keywords: Cognitive decline, delirium, frailty, age-related hearing loss, presbystasis, presbylarynx, immunosenecense, presbynasalis, vasomotor rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, age-related oflactory decline, dysphagia, head and neck malignant neoplasms, obstructive sleep apnea, geriatric syndromes and perioperative optimization.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a widespread respiratory dysfunction that has attracted more and more attention in recent years. Recently, a large number of studies have shown that abnormal DNA methylation epigenetically silences genes necessary for the pathogenesis of human diseases. However, the exact mechanism of abnormal DNA methylation in OSAHS is still elusive. In this study, we downloaded the OSAHS data from the GEO database. Our data for the first time revealed 520 hypermethylated genes and 889 hypomethylated genes in OSAHS. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that these abnormal methylated genes exhibited an association with the regulation of angiogenesis, apoptosis, Wnt, and ERBB2 signaling pathways. PPI network analysis displayed the interactions among these genes and validated several hub genes, such as GPSM2, CCR8, TAS2R20, TAS2R4, and TAS2R5, which were related to regulating liganded Gi-activating GPCR and the transition of mitotic metaphase/anaphase. In conclusion, our study offers a new hint of understanding the molecular mechanisms in OSAHS progression and will provide OSAHS with newly generated innovative biomarkers.
