| Research Abstract |
We measured cognitive and emotional impairment of the patients suffered severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(sOSAS), and investigated the correlation between these cognitive and emotional impairment and respiratory index during sleep. Additionally, we applied the voxel-based statistic approach by SPM8-regression for FA/ADC maps and gray/white matter images to estimate the correlation between brain microstructural changes of sOSAS and respiratory index during sleep. As a results, subjective daytime sleepiness was only associated with motivation and only lowest SpO2 affected on cognitive impairment. In imaging study, lowest SpO2 showed positive correlation with medial and inferior frontal area where are important for higher cognitive function and brain-stem containing many nuclei for arousal maintaining function in FA/ADC maps and white matter image. The gray matter concentration in parahippocampal area was also affected positive correlation with lowest SpO2. As a conclusion, lower SpO2 (hypoxia invasion) might cause the cognitive impairment and this impairment would be caused by neural axonal microstructural changes by hypoxia invasion.
