Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP) on high sensitive C-creative protein(hs-CRP) in serum of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Method Before and three months after the operations,serum hs-CRP was determined in the experimental group(n=20) and two control groups.Result The serum level of hs-CRP in OSAHS patients was significantly higher than that of the control groups and it was significantly decreased three months after UPPP.Conclusion UPPP can obviously decrease the level of hs-CRP of OSAHS patients;therefore it reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease of OASHS patients.
