Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the health impacts of snoring in children, categorizing them into primary snorers and those with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), in contrast to a control group of healthy children.
  • Children with OSAHS exhibited significant growth delays, maxillofacial issues, and cognitive impairments, along with abnormal lipid levels and potential heart issues, while primary snorers had normal growth and cognitive function but also faced higher rates of maxillofacial malformations.
  • The findings suggest that OSAHS in children leads to various health problems, while primary snoring, although linked with some physical issues, does not severely impact growth or intelligence.

Objective: To explore the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of CACNA1C that encoded the a1c subunit of the L-type calcium channel and the efficacy of calcium channel blocker (CCB, Nifedipine extended release tablet/20 mg/d) in essential hypertension (EH) patients of Han Chinese in Wenzhou.

Methods: For the enrolled 103 EH patients, Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (Multi-PCR) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight MS (MLDI-TOF MS) were performed to detect their genotypes (rs216008, rs1051375, rs2299661, rs10848683, rs215976), blood pressure (BP) after CCB monotherapy was compared among patients with different genotypes.

Results: (1) Blood pressure was significantly reduced in all patients post CCB (P < 0.

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) may cause serious morbidities, such as systemic hypertension, diabetes, and cor pulmonale. However, currently no many reports on study of OSAHS in children are available. This study aimed to explore the effects of OSAHS on children's multiple systems.

Objective: To explore etiologic fraction (EF) and interaction of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriage and other risk factors for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Methods: 1:1 matched case-control study was carried out in Wenzhou, with 180 cases of PHC and 180 controls. EF and interactions of serum positive HBsAg [HBsAg(+)] and other risk factors for PHC were analyzed by Mantel-Haenszel stratified method and conditional multiple logistic regression.
