Sleep disorder is related to many comorbidities, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension. Because of its increasing prevalence rate, it has become a global problem that seriously threatens people’s health. Various forms of sleep disorder can cause increased insulin resistance and/or decreased sensitivity, thus affecting the occurrence, development and prognosis of diabetes. However, sleep health has not been paid attention to in recent years. Therefore, this article summarizes the findings of the correlation between sleep disorder and diabetes mellitus in recent years, by elaborating the relationship between various types of sleep disorder (including sleep apnea syndrome) and diabetes mellitus, as well as their mechanisms and intervention measures, in order to enhance the attention of clinical workers to sleep health, and to provide basis for reducing the risk of diabetes.
Objective To investigate the effect of postoperative sleep disturbance by infusion of low dose esketamine during ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods Patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia in General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between August and November 2024 were selected. They were randomly divided into esketamine group and control group based on a random number generator. Patients in the esketamine group received a continuous infusion of esketamine [0.3 mg/(kg·h)] during the operation. Patients in the control group received the equivalent volume of saline. The scores of the Athens Insomnia Scale on the first day before surgery, the first day after surgery, and the third day after surgery, the incidence of sleep disturbance and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score on the first day and the third day after surgery, mean artial pressure and heart rate during surgery, operation time, anesthesia time, recovery time, total dosage of remifetanil and vasoactive drug, postoperative adverse reactions, and the Visual Analogue Scale score on the day of surgery and the first day after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 105 patients were included, including 52 in the control group and 53 in the esketamine group. The differences were statistically significant in the incidence of sleep disorders on the first day after surgery (22.64% vs. 46.15%; χ2=6.440, P=0.011), the Athens Insomnia Scale score on the first day after surgery [4 (1.5, 5) vs. 5 (4, 7); Z=−2.933, P=0.003] , the cumulative amount of remifentanil used during surgery [884 (600, 1 112) vs. 572 (476, 872) μg; Z=−2.774, P=0.006], and the Visual Analogue Scale score on the day of surgery [2 (2, 3) vs. 3 (2, 3); Z=−2.488, P=0.013] between the esketamine group and the control group. There was no significant difference in mean arterial pressure, heart rate, operation time, anesthesia time, recovery time, vasoactive drug dosage, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score or incidence of postoperative adverse reactions between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion Continuous intraoperative infusion of low dose esketamine can improve postoperative sleep disturbance, without increasing the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
ObjectiveTo analyse the hundred top-cited articles in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and summarize the development trend of OSAHS research.MethodsWe searched the Web of Science core collection for all published articles on OSAHS or sleep disorders from January 1st, 1992 to May 23th, 2018. The hundred top-cited articles with the most frequent citation were selected. The publication time, country of origin, journal, institution, professional field of corresponding author, funding type, publication type, etc. were analyzed.ResultsThe hundred top-cited articles were published between 1992 and 2013, with 300～5 980 citations and a total of 65 719 citations. The main types of articles were clinical studies (73 articles), reviews (20 articles), guidelines (4 articles) and basic research (3 articles). Fourteen authors published more than one first-author paper, and fifteen authors published more than one articles as corresponding authors. These authors were distributed across 22 subject areas. The most cited country was the United States (60 articles), and the most cited institution was the University of Wisconsin (10 articles). The hundred top-cited articles were published in 31 journals, most of which were cited less than 1 000 times, and a few articles were cited more than 2 000 times.ConclusionsOSAHS has attracted much attention in respiratory medicine, neurology, epidemiology and other fields, and many articles about clinical research types of OSAHS have been cited. In addition, most of the highly cited articles in the OSAHS field come from the developed countries; our country needs to devote more resources to OSAHS research.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the risk factors associated with sleep disorders in ICU patients.MethodsWe searched The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and CBM databases to collect cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies on the risk factors associated with sleep disorders in ICU patients from inception to October, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the bias risk of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 9 articles were included, with a total of 1 068 patients, including 12 risk factors. The results of meta-analysis showed that the combined effect of equipment noise (OR=0.42, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.68, P=0.000 4), patients’ talk (OR=0.53, 95%CI 0.42 to 0.66, P<0.000 01), patients’ noise (OR=0.39, 95%CI 0.21 to 0.74, P=0.004), light (OR=0.29, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.45, P<0.000 01), night treatment (OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.50, P<0.000 01), diseases and drug effects (OR=0.17,95%CI 0.08 to 0.36, P<0.000 01), pain (OR=0.37, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.82, P=0.01), comfort changes (OR=0.34,95%CI 0.17 to 0.67,P=0.002), anxiety (OR=0.31,95%CI 0.12 to 0.78, P=0.01), visit time (OR=0.72, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.98, P=0.04), economic burden (OR=0.63, 95%CI 0.48 to 0.82, P=0.000 5) were statistically significant risk factors for sleep disorders in ICU patients.ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the risk factors for sleep disorders in ICU patients are environmental factors (talking voices of nurses, patient noise, and light), treatment factors (night treatment), disease factors (disease itself and drug effects, pain,) and psychological factors (visiting time, economic burden). Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
Objective To investigate the pathological mechanism of epileptic comorbid sleep disorder by analyzing the changes of cerebral white matter diffusion tensor in patients with sleep disorder with negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) epilepsy based on the method of tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS). Methods MRI negative epilepsy patients comorbid sleep disorder who were epileptic patients treated l in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from January 2020 to December 2022 completed the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) tests, and those who complained of sleep disorder and PSQI index ≥11 were monitored by nighttime polysomnography (PSG) and those with objective sleep disorder confirmed by PSG were included in the epilepsy comorbid sleep disorder group. Healthy volunteers with matching gender, age, education were included in the health control group. Diffusion tensor image ( DTI) was collected for all subjects by using a 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner. Diffusion parameters were compared between the two groups using TBSS. Results This study included 36 epilepsy patients comorbid sleep disorder and 35 healthy volunteers. epilepsy patients comorbid sleep disorder showed significantly lower fraction anisotropy (FA) (P<0.05) and significantly higher mean diffusivity (MD) (P<0.05) than the health control group . Brain regions with statistical differences in FA reduction included middle peduncle of cerebellum, genu of corpus callosum, body of corpus callosum, splenium of corpus callosum, anterior corona radiata, external capsule and right posterior thalamic radiation.Brain regions with statistical differences in MD degradation included genu of corpus callosum, body of corpus callosum, anterior limb of internal capsule, anterior corona radiata, superior corona radiata, external capsule and right posterior limb of internal capsul. Conclusion Patients with epilepsy comorbidities with sleep disorders have widespread and symmetric white matter damage.The white matter damage is concentrated in the front of the brain.
ObjectiveTo explore the status of common comorbidities in adult epilepsy patients in western China, and to explore the related risk factors.MethodsThe Chinese version of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7, neurological disorders depression inventory for epilepsy (NDDI-E) scales, pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI) and epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) were used to evaluate the 199 epilepsy patients between April 2017 and March 2018 in the Epilepsy Center of Neurology Department of Sichuan People's Hospital. Logistic regression analysis was performed on the risk factors of epilepsy comorbidity.ResultsIn the 199 adult epilepsy patients, 28.1% had anxiety, 17.1% had depression, 33.2% had sleep disorder, and 2.5% had migraine. 140 patients received monotherapy, including 15 patients with carbamazepine (CBZ), 20 patients with lamotrigine (LTG), 26 patients with levetiracetam (LEV), 31 patients with topiramate (TPM), 25 patients with oxcarbazepine (OXC), and 23 patients with Valproate (VPA).Multivariate logistic regression analysis of epilepsy patients treated with monotherapy showed that seizure occurring more than once a month, LEV, TPM, sleep disorders were independent risk factors for anxiety in patients with epilepsy (P<0.05). Unemployment, seizure occurrence in the last three months, sleep disorders were independent risk factors for comorbid depression (P<0.05). Anxiety, depression, daytime sleepiness, CBZ, LTG were independent risk factors for comorbid sleep disorders (P<0.05).ConclusionsAnxiety, depression and sleep disorder are common comorbidities in adults with epilepsy in westChina. For patients with affective disorder and sleep disorder, early identification and intervention may be important to improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients. In addition, patients treated with LEV or TPM monotherapy had a higher risk of anxiety than other drugs. Patients with LTG and CBZ monotherapy are more likely to comorbid sleep disorders.
ObjectiveTo investigate the psychology and sleep statuses of liver transplantation recipients during the outbreak of COVID-19.MethodsCluster sampling was used to investigate the patients who underwent liver transplantation in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January to February 2020. The psychology and sleep statuses were evaluated by the self-designed questionnaire, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).ResultsTwenty-seven liver transplantation recipients were included in this study. The questionnaires of the 27 patients were collected. The SAI score was (46.41±8.77); The score of CES-D was (13.11±7.87), there were 2 (7.4%) patients with depression; The PSQI score was (6.44±4.02), there were 7 (25.9%) patients with sleep disorders. The points of anxiety and depression of the patients with different gender, age, education level, marital status, residence, living conditions, primary disease, Child-Pugh classification, whether suffered SARS epidemics, COVID-19 knowledges level, medical insurance, family annual income per capita, and income and expenditure of cash had no significant differences (P>0.05) during the outbreak of COVID-19. However, the points of patients with male or suffered SARS or the family annual income per capita ≥60 000 yuan were higher than those of patients with female or not-suffered SARS or the family annual income per capita <60 000 yuan (P<0.05).ConclusionsAnxiety and sleep disorder of liver transplantation recipients are common during the outbreak of COVID-19, which could not be ignored. Knowledges of COVID-19 should be paid to spread so as to reduce psychological pressure and improve sleep quality.
