Abstract: Objective To assist with evaluating the patient's condition, we investigated peripheral blood inflammatory marker changes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)complicated with hypertension. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 196 patients with OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG). The patients were divided into the simple OSAHS(150 cases)or the OSAHS with hypertension(46 cases)groups. The following inflammatory indexes were calculated: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR), and the systemic immune-inflammation index(SII). The differences of the basic clinical data, PSG parameters, and inflammatory indexes were compared between the two groups. The inflammatory indexes and blood pressure were also correlated. Regression analysis of the variables associated with blood pressure was conducted. Results Considering the inflammatory markers, the NLR, PLR, and SII levels in patients with OSAHS and hypertension were significantly higher than those with only OSAHS(P=0.007; P=0.032; P=0.009). Correlation analysis showed that systolic blood pressure in patients with OSAHS was positively correlated with the body mass index(BMI), apnea-hypopnea index(AHI), NLR, and SII(r=0.195, P=0.006; r=0.195, P=0.006; r=0.208, P=0.004; r=0.246, P=0.001, respectively), and negatively correlated with the lowest oxygen saturation(LSaO2; r=-0.228, P=0.001). The diastolic blood pressure in patients with OSAHS was also positively correlated with BMI, AHI, NLR, and SII(r=0.160, P=0.025; r=0.210, P=0.003; r=0.145, P=0.043; r=0.206, P=0.004, respectively), and negatively correlated with LSaO2(r=-0.203, P=0.004). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age and SII were independent risk factors for the patients with OSAHS and hypertension. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were considered in the multiple linear regression as dependent variables. The results suggest that the longest hypopnea time and SII were risk factors for blood pressure in patients with OSAHS. Conclusion NLR and SII significantly increased in patients with OSAHS and hypertension and were also significantly associated with blood pressure. Thus, clinical monitoring of the above indicators may assist in evaluating the patient's condition.

[12] ObjectiveTo analyze the association between the classification of blood pressure and retinal vessel diameter measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT). MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study that included 103 patients(103 eyes)with hypertension. Based on the classification of hypertension, the subjects were divided into three groups: the isolated systolic hypertension(ISH)(34 eyes), isolated diastolic hypertension(IDH)(34 eyes), and systolic combined with diastolic hypertension(SDH)(35 eyes)groups. Retinal vessel diameters were measured by SD-OCT. The differences among the central retinal arteriolar equivalents(CRAEs), the central retinal venular equivalents(CRVEs), and the artery-to-vein ratios(AVRs)of the three groups were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between blood pressure and AVR. ResultsThere were significant differences among the CRAEs and AVRs of the three groups(F=4.543, 4.308; P=0.013, 0.016). The CRAE and AVR of the SDH group were the lowest; those of the IDH group were the highest. There were no significant differences among the CRVEs of the three groups(F=0.417, P=0.660). After correction for risk factors, such as gender and age, multivariate logistic regression showed that patients with high systolic blood pressure were more likely to have AVRs of < 0.7 (OR=1.080, P=0.015). ConclusionsAmong the three types of hypertension, SDH was associated with the lowest CRAE and AVR. High systolic pressure is a risk factor for AVRs of < 0.7..
