Some ceRNA associated with lncRNA have been considered as possible diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We intend to identify the potential hub genes for the development of OSA, which will provide a foundation for the study of the molecular mechanism underlying OSA and for the diagnosis and treatment of OSA. We collected plasma samples from OSA patients and healthy controls for the detection of ceRNA using a chip.

Method: Newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) requiring endotracheal intubation admitted to the tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Qujing Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital in Yunnan Province between March 2021 and May 2022 were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Outcome indicators related to effectiveness included mainly the number of intubations, duration of ventilation, duration of oxygenation, and length of stay; safety indicators included any clinical adverse effects during and after intubation.
Objectives: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a kind of respiratory disease that occurs apnea repeatedly during sleep. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of sex on anthropometric methods and four scales for screening OSA.
Methods: The basic data and PSG data of 2108 patients who underwent PSG examination at the Sleep Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from July 2017 to December 2020 were continuously included.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often accompanied by other complications, especially hypertension.
Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to compare the application value of six tools in the screening of OSA in patients with hypertension. Compared with other questionnaires, we hypothesized that Berlin performed better in screening hypertensive patients suspected of OSA.
Tiotropium in Early-Stage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
N Engl J Med
September 2017
Background: Patients with mild or moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rarely receive medications, because they have few symptoms. We hypothesized that long-term use of tiotropium would improve lung function and ameliorate the decline in lung function in patients with mild or moderate COPD.
Methods: In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that was conducted in China, we randomly assigned 841 patients with COPD of Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stage 1 (mild) or 2 (moderate) severity to receive a once-daily inhaled dose (18 μg) of tiotropium (419 patients) or matching placebo (422) for 2 years.
[Short - term effects of two kinds of plastic mulch on snail control in irrigation and drainage ditches in Yunnan Province].

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the short-term effectiveness of two types of plastic mulch for controlling snail populations in Yunnan Province’s irrigation and drainage ditches.
- Four groups were formed: colorless plastic mulch, black plastic mulch, and both types with added molluscicide. Snail mortality rates were measured at various intervals post-application, along with soil temperature data.
- Results showed colorless mulch had a higher snail mortality rate than black mulch, but neither was very effective alone; adding molluscicide significantly improved effectiveness, suggesting that using just plastic mulch is inadequate for snail control in this region.
Recent studies have reported that miRNAs might play critical roles in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objective of this study is to investigate the role of miR-499-5p in AMI and its potential molecular mechanisms. The expression level of MiR-499-5p was remarkably decreased in the infarcted myocardial tissues and in the cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia.

Objective: To understand the condition of the construction and management of sanitary latrines, and assess the effect of disposal of the excrement in rural schistosomiasis endemic areas in Yunnan Province.
Methods: Three villages with schistosomiasis endemic were selected from Eryuan County and 30 households per village were sampled randomly for the field survey. The stool samples were sampled and tested according to the national standard.
