摘要
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)患者的颈动脉粥样硬化程度和血清基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-9水平均随着呼吸暂停程度的加重而增高,而MMP-9在颈动脉粥样硬化发展过程中发挥着重要作用。文章对OSAS患者颈动脉粥样硬化与血清MMP-9水平的关系进行了综述,以分析OSAS患者发生颈动脉粥样硬化的可能机制。
The severity of carotid atherosclerosis and the levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) increase with the severity of apnea, and that MMP-9 plays an important role in the progression of carotid atherosclerosis, qhis article reviews the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and serum MMP-9 so as to analyze the possible mechanism of developing carotid atherosclerosis in patients with OSAS.
