Controlled Clinical Trial[Effects of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery on subsequent continuous positive airway pressure in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome].
To determine the effect of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) therapy on post-surgery continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and to evaluate the use of Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in whom CPAP therapy failed. ⋯ In a considerable number of patients with OSAHS, UPPP may compromise the applicability of nasal CPAP as a subsequent therapy, and BiPAP might be a treatment option for patients who could not tolerate CPAP treatment.

[The changes and implications of plasma orexin-A levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome].
To explore the changes and implications of plasma orexin-A levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). ⋯ The plasma orexin-A levels in OSAHS patients are increased which may be caused by repeated nocturnal hypoxia due to OSAHS. Orexin-A may play a crucial role in the regulation of the sleep-arousal process.

[Ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of continuous positive airway pressure in dogs with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema].
To investigate the ventilatory and hemodynamic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) in dogs. ⋯ ACPE induced rapid breath, elevated Pt and decreased CVP and CO. Proper CPAP can improve CO by regulating Pt, hence the improvement of other hemodynamic parameters.

Review Case Reports[Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis treated with whole-lung lavage utilizing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a case report and review].
To improve the treatment of severe hypoxaemia in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). ⋯ When a patient with PAP has refractory hypoxemia prior to the lavage procedure, ECMO should be considered in order to avoid severe hypoxaemia with fatal consequences during lavage.

Comparative Study[The application of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer].
To study the clinical value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. ⋯ 18F-FDG PET imaging is of important clinical value in the diagnosis of lung lesions and the staging of malignancy.
