[Therapy of sleep apnea with theophylline (Uniphylline) administration every evening].

Sleep apnoea (SA) has a prevalence of 1-10% in men. The physiological sleep is disturbed. SA is associated with cardiopulmonary disease (systemic arterial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmics, cor pulmonale) and the quality of the patient's life is reduced. Thirty male patients participated in a study to investigate the influence of an oral dose of theophylline on sleep apnoea. Under theophylline a significant reduction of apnoea events and of the apnoea index was seen.

[The serotoninergic mechanism and the experimental therapy of sleep disorders in desynchronization].

The authors studied the dynamics of changes in the serotonin content in the brain of albino rats in development of experimental neurosis along the type of desynchronization and under the effect of essential amino acid L-tryptophan. It was found that disturbance in the sleep-awake cycle in desynchronization is attended with decrease in the serotonin level in the hemispheres and brain stem and leveling out the interhemispheric asymmetry. Injection of 80 mg/kg L-tryptophan in this condition leads to increase of the brain serotonin content and restoration of the normal physiological structure of the sleep-awake cycle.
