Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to investigate the differences in chronobiology and prevention between patients with acute type-A aortic dissection (ATAAD) complicated with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and without sleep apnea syndrome (non-SAS). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical information of ATAAD patients using hospital medical records and regional meteorological and chronological information between January 2013 and December 2019. RESULTS An early mortality rate of 16.9% (196 out of 1160 cases) was observed, comprising 95 cases of aortic rupture before surgery and 101 surgery-related deaths. Eighty-one of the 964 survivors were screened for SAS using complete morphological characteristics. Of these patients, 291 (33.0%) suffered from SAS, while 590 (67.0%) had no SAS. Based on a Circular Von Mises distribution analysis, the non-SAS patients experienced a significant morning peak in the occurrence of ATAAD at 10:04 (r1 = 0.148, p < 0.01). In contrast, the SAS patients experienced a significantly different (non-SAS vs. SAS, U2 = 0.947, p < 0.001) nighttime peak at 23:48 (r2 = 0.489, p < 0.01). Moreover, both non-SAS (Z = 39.770, P < 0.001) and SAS (Z = 55.663, P < 0.001) patients showed a comparable peak during January (non-SAS vs. SAS, U2 = 0.173, p > 0.05). Furthermore, SAS patients experienced a peak on Fridays (χ2 = 36.419, p < 0.001), whereas there was no significant difference in the weekly distribution in non-SAS patients (χ2 = 11.315, p = 0.079). CONCLUSIONS The analyses showed that both SAS and non-SAS patients showed distinct rhythmicity in ATAAD onset. These findings highlight the chronobiological triggers within different ATAAD subpopulations and may contribute to the prevention of this potentially fatal occurrence.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea is a highly prevalent chronic disorder and has been shown to be associated with disturbed glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes. However, the evidence from individual clinical trials on the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on glycaemic control in patients with co-existing obstructive sleep apnoea and type 2 diabetes remains controversial. A systematic review of randomised controlled trials assessing the effect of CPAP on glycaemic control in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and type 2 diabetes was conducted using the databases MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus up to December 2022. Meta-analysis using a random-effect model was performed for outcomes that were reported in at least two randomised controlled trials. From 3031 records screened, 11 RCTs with a total of 964 patients were included for analysis. CPAP treatment led to a significant reduction in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (mean difference -0.24%, 95% CI -0.43- -0.06%, p=0.001) compared to inactive control groups. Meta-regression showed a significant association between reduction in HbA1c and hours of nightly CPAP usage. CPAP therapy seems to significantly improve HbA1c and thus long-term glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea. The amount of improvement is dependent on the hours of usage of CPAP and thus optimal adherence to CPAP should be a primary goal in these patients.

Abstract
Background Patients suffering from aortic dissection (AD) often experience sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), which aggravates their respiratory function and aortic false lumen expansion. Methods We analyzed the peri-operative data of Stanford A AD patients, with or without SAS, between January 2017 and June 2019. Subjects were separated into SAS positive (SAS+) and SAS negative (SAS−) cohorts, based on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and the Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI). We next analyzed variables between the SAS+ and SAS− groups. Results 155, out of 198 AAD patients, were enlisted for this study. SAS+ patients exhibited higher rates of pneumonia (p < 0.001), heart failure (HF, p = 0.038), acute kidney injury (AKI, p = 0.001), ventilation time (p = 0.009), and hospitalization duration (p < 0.001). According to subsequent follow-ups, the unstented aorta false lumen dilatation (FLD) rate increased markedly, with increasing degree of SAS (p < 0.001, according to AHI and ODI). The SAS+ patients exhibited worse cumulative survival rate (p = 0.025). The significant risk factors (RF) for poor survival were: severe (p = 0.002) or moderate SAS (p = 0.008), prolonged ventilation time (p = 0.018), AKI (p = 0.015), HF New York Heart Association (NYHA) IV (p = 0.005) or III (p = 0.015), pneumonia (p = 0.005), Marfan syndrome (p = 0.010), systolic blood pressure (BP) upon arrival (p = 0.009), and BMI ≥ 30 (p = 0.004). Conclusions SAS+ Stanford A AD patients primarily exhibited higher rates of complications and low survival rates in the mid-time follow-up. Hence, the RFs associated with poor survival must be monitored carefully in SAS patients. Moreover, the FLD rate is related to the degree of SAS, thus treating SAS may mitigate FLD.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SA) is a very prevalent sleep breathing disorder mainly characterized by intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation, with ensuing systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune deregulation. These perturbations promote the risk of end-organ morbidity, such that SA patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular, neurocognitive, metabolic and malignant disorders. Investigating the potential mechanisms underlying SA-induced end-organ dysfunction requires the use of comprehensive experimental models at the cell, animal and human levels. This review is primarily focused on the experimental models employed to date in the study of the consequences of SA and tackles 3 different approaches. First, cell culture systems whereby controlled patterns of intermittent hypoxia cycling fast enough to mimic the rates of episodic hypoxemia experienced by patients with SA. Second, animal models consisting of implementing realistic upper airway obstruction patterns, intermittent hypoxia, or sleep fragmentation such as to reproduce the noxious events characterizing SA. Finally, human SA models, which consist either in subjecting healthy volunteers to intermittent hypoxia or sleep fragmentation, or alternatively applying oxygen supplementation or temporary nasal pressure therapy withdrawal to SA patients. The advantages, limitations, and potential improvements of these models along with some of their pertinent findings are reviewed.

Abstract
The direct pathophysiological effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been well described. However, the systemic and metabolic consequences of OSA are less well understood. The aim of this secondary analysis was to translate recent findings in healthy subjects on vigilance-state-dependent metabolism into the context of OSA patients and answer the question of how symptomatic OSA influences metabolism and whether these changes might explain metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of OSA. Patients with suspected OSA were assigned according to their oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score into symptomatic OSA and controls. Vigilance-state-dependent breath metabolites assessed by high-resolution mass spectrometry were used to test for a difference in both groups. In total, 44 patients were eligible, of whom 18 (40.9%) were assigned to the symptomatic OSA group. Symptomatic OSA patients with a median [25%, 75% quartiles] ODI of 40.5 [35.0, 58.8] events/h and an ESS of 14.0 [11.2, 15.8] showed moderate to strong evidence for differences in 18 vigilance-state-dependent breath compounds compared to controls. These identified metabolites are part of major metabolic pathways in carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. Thus, beyond hypoxia per se, we hypothesize that disturbed sleep in OSA patients persists as disturbed sleep-dependent metabolite levels during daytime.

Abstract
Background Adherence to a healthy lifestyle (no smoking, consuming a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight) is recommended in current guidelines for hypertension prevention. However, evidence regarding the association between sleep behaviors, independently and jointly with traditional lifestyle factors, and the risk of hypertension is limited. Methods This prospective study included 165,493 participants who are free of hypertension at baseline from the UK Biobank. Sleep behaviors, including chronotype, sleep duration, insomnia, snoring, and daytime sleepiness were used to construct a healthy sleep score. We also derived a healthy lifestyle score based on smoking status, diet quality, physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Cox proportional hazards regression models and competing risk analyses were used to estimate the associations of the healthy sleep score and healthy lifestyle score with the risk of hypertension. The population attributable risk percent (PAR%) was estimated for increased cases of hypertension due to poor adherence to a healthy sleep pattern or a healthy lifestyle. Results A total of 10,941 incident hypertension cases were documented during a median of 11.8 years of follow-up. The multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for hypertension was 0.58 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.52, 0.65] for participants with a sleep score of 5 compared with 0-1, and 0.48 (95% CI: 0.43, 0.54) for participants with a lifestyle score of 4 compared with those who scored 0. For joint association, those with a poor sleep pattern and a poor lifestyle had the highest risk of hypertension [HR: 2.41 (95% CI: 2.12, 2.74)]. PAR% was 14.7% (95% CI: 12.3%, 17.1%), 20.1% (95% CI: 17.6%, 22.6%), and 31.7% (95% CI: 27.6%, 35.6%) for poor adherence to a healthy sleep pattern, a healthy lifestyle, and the combination of a healthy sleep pattern and a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion Both a healthy sleep pattern and a healthy lifestyle were associated with a lower risk of hypertension, and the benefits of adhering to a healthy sleep pattern complement the well-established lifestyle for the optimal primary prevention of hypertension. These findings support the current perspective that a healthy sleep pattern is an important part of a healthful and productive lifestyle for hypertension prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and hypertension frequently coexist and are associated with elevated cortisol levels. Identification and treatment of such patients is important when investigating for suspected Cushing's syndrome and hypertension. Studies of the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on cortisol and blood pressure are limited by the small sample size and show conflicting findings. We conducted a meta-analysis to document changes in the levels of cortisol and blood pressure in response to CPAP treatment of OSA. METHODS Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan (v5.3) and expressed in standardized mean difference (SMD) for catecholamines and mean difference for systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The quality of the studies was evaluated using standard tools for assessing the risk of bias. RESULTS A total of 22 studies met our search criteria; they consisted of 16 prospective cohort studies (PCS) that recruited 385 participants and six randomized control trials (RCT) totalling 252 participants. The range of mean age was 41-62 years and BMI 27.2-35.1 kg/m2 . CPAP treatment reduced plasma cortisol levels in PCS: SMD = -0.28 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) = -0.45 to -0.12], I2 = 0%, p = .79 and in RCT: SMD = -0.39 (95% CI = -0.75 to -0.03), I2 = 28.3%, p = .25. CPAP treatment reduced SBP by 5.4 mmHg (95% CI = 1.7-9.1) and DBP by 3.3 mmHg (95% CI = 1.0-5.7). Interstudy heterogeneity was low for all studies. Bias in most RCT arose from the lack of blinding of participants and personnel. CONCLUSION CPAP treatment in individuals with OSA reduces cortisol levels and blood pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep breathing disorder may affect skeletal muscle decline in the elderly, but the mechanism is not clear. Therefore, this study explores the mechanism of skeletal muscle aging in chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) rats. METHODS In vitro and in vivo CIH models were constructed in L6 cells and SD rats by treating chronic intermittent hypoxia. Pathological changes of skeletal muscle in vivo were measured by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and Flow cytometer, respectively. The expression of KLC1/GRX1 and the proteins related to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. RESULTS CIH model was successfully established induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia with lower skeletal muscle index (SMI), increased inward migration of muscle fiber cell nucleus, and muscle cells' distance. The results showed that Wnt/β-catenin signalling was activatedin both L6 cells and CIH rats' model. KLC1 and GRX1 were significantly downregulated in the CIH model. Loss of function showed that downregulation of KLC1 promoted L6 cell and skeletal muscle aging in vitro and in vivo, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that CIH aggravated skeletal muscle aging by down-regulating KLC1/GRX1 expression via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with an increased prevalence of aortic aneurysms and it has also been suggested that severe OSA furthers aneurysm expansion in the abdomen. We evaluated whether OSA is a risk factor for the progression of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). METHODS Patients with TAA underwent yearly standardised echocardiographic measurements of the ascending aorta over 3 years and two level III sleep studies. The primary outcome was the expansion rate of TAA in relation to the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI). Secondary outcomes included surveillance for aortic events (composite end-points of rupture/dissection, elective surgery or death). RESULTS Between July 2014 and March 2020, 230 patients (median age 70 years, 83.5% male) participated in the cohort. At baseline, 34.8% of patients had AHI ≥15 events·h-1. There was no association between TAA diameter and AHI at baseline. After 3 years, mean±sd expansion rates were 0.55±1.25 mm at the aortic sinus and 0.60±1.12 mm at the ascending aorta. In the regression analysis, after controlling for baseline diameter and cardiovascular risk factors, there was strong evidence for a positive association of TAA expansion with AHI (aortic sinus estimate 0.025 mm, 95% CI 0.009-0.040 mm; p<0.001 and ascending aorta estimate 0.026 mm, 95% CI 0.011-0.041 mm; p=0.001). 20 participants (8%) experienced an aortic event; however, there was no association with OSA severity. CONCLUSION OSA may be a modest but independent risk factor for faster TAA expansion and thus potentially contributes to life-threatening complications in aortic disease.

Abstract
Background This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between nasal resistance in different posture and optimal positive airway pressure (PAP) level. Other potential factors were also assessed for possible influence on PAP pressure. Methods Forty- three patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were prospectively recruited in this study. Nasal resistance was assessed by active anterior rhinomanometry in a seated position and then in a supine position at pressures of 75, 150, and 300 pascal. The factors correlating with PAP pressure were analyzed, including nasal resistance and patients’ clinical data. Results Univariate analysis revealed that PAP pressure was correlated to nasal resistance in the supine position at 75 and 150 pascal (SupineNR75 and SupineNR150) (P = 0.019 and P = 0.004 in Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis), but not correlated to nasal resistance in the seated position at different pressures or in the supine position at 300 pascal. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that both SupineNR150 and body mass index (BMI) significantly predicted PAP pressure (β = 0.308, p = 0.044; β = 0.727, p = 0.006). The final PAP pressure predictive model was: PAP pressure = 0.29 BMI + 2.65 SupineNR150 + 2.11. Conclusions Nasal resistance in the supine position measured at 150 pascal may provide valuable information regarding optimal PAP pressure. Rhinomanometry should be included in the treatment algorithm of OSA patients when PAP therapy is considered.
