Treatment Effects of Short-Term Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Blood Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome.

Purpose: The study aimed at assessing glucose control measured with a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) before and after short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (mean age 55.0 ± 9.

Toxoplasma gondii infection in patients with lung diseases in Shandong province, eastern China.

Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular protozoan parasite, can induce various clinical symptoms. T. gondii has been considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung diseases.

Infection in Diabetes Mellitus Patients in China: Seroprevalence, Risk Factors, and Case-Control Studies.

The association between () infection and diabetes mellitus remains controversial. With the improvement of living standards, the prevalence rate of diabetes is steadily increasing in China. Thus, it is necessary to explore the possible association between toxoplasmosis and diabetes mellitus in China.

[Daytime hypercapnia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and factors related to daytime CO2 retention (PaCO2 ≥ 45 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) in Chinese patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.

Methods: 1441 patients with OSAHS had daytime arterial blood gas analysis were recruited from 2007 to 2009 in Peking University People's Hospital.

[Effects of continuous positive airway pressure upon the un-treatment hour changes of blood glucose level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes].

Objective: To assess the effects of short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) upon un-treatment hour glucose control via a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes (OWD).

Methods: A total of 23 case of hospitalized OWD were recruited. CGMS was applied for 2 days before and 4 days during CPAP treatment.

[Effect of continuous positive airway pressure upon 24 h changes of blood glucose level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes].

Objective: To assess the effect of short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) upon 24 h glucose control via a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome and type 2 diabetes (OWD).

Methods: Eleven cases of hospitalized OWD with age 43 - 70 (56 +/- 10) years old, body mass index 22.3 - 38.

[Effect of noninvasive ventilation on chemoresponsiveness in patients with sleep apnea and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

Objective: To investigate the effect of noninvasive ventilation on respiratory control in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) combined with sleep a apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS)-overlap syndrome (OS).

Methods: Ten body mass index, apnea-hypopnea index, and age-matched OSAHS patients, 5 being hypercapnic (PaCO(2) > 45 mm Hg) OSAHS patients with normal FEV(1)/FVC, and 5 being OSAHS patients with COPD and the mean FEV(1)/FVC of 59% +/- 6% underwent bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) treatment. Hypoxic responses, including the ratio of the change in minute ventilation (DeltaVE) to the change in arterial oxygen saturation (DeltaSaO(2)), and hypercapnic responses (DeltaVE/DeltaPaCO(2) ratio) were tested during wakefulness before treatment and 6 weeks after the treatment.
