Latar belakang: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) pada anak yang berhubungan dengan excessivedaytime somnolance (EDS), gagal tumbuh, kelainan kardiovaskular, gagal napas, dan kematian,prevalensinya terus meningkat. Inflamasi berperan pada patogenesis penyakit tersebut.Tujuan:Mengetahui peran neutral endopetidase (NEP) terhadap inflamasi pada penderita OSA dan hubungannyadengan mediator inflamasi subtance P (SP), interleukin-4 (IL-4), dan tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).Metode: Penelitian potong lintang dilakukan pada pada 36 pasien hipertrofi tonsil dan adenoid selamaMei 2013-2015. Diagnosis OSA ditegakkan dengan polisomnografi, dan kadar NEP, SP, IL-4 dan TNF-αyang berasal dari tonsil maupun adenoid dengan imunohistokimia.Hasil: Terdapat 21 penderita OSA(58,3%) dan 15 subjek tidak OSA (41,7%), dari total 36 sampel. Dijumpai hubungan yang bermaknaantara SP tonsil dan SP adenoid dengan OSA, serta IL-4 tonsil dengan OSA (p<0,05). Walau kadar NEPtonsil dan NEP adenoid lebih sedikit pada OSA, serta IL-4 adenoid, TNF-α tonsil dan adenoid lebihbesar pada OSA, perbedaan tersebut tidak bermakna (P>0,05). Dijumpai juga hubungan yang bermaknaantara SP tonsil dengan IL-4 tonsil dan SP tonsil dengan TNF-α tonsil (p<0,05).Kesimpulan: Terdapathubungan yang tidak bermakna antara NEP dan OSA, namun ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna antaraSP dan IL-4 dengan OSA.

Inflammation is associated with OSA. Purpose: To identify the role of neutralendopeptidase (NEP) to inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and its association to inflammatorymediator subtance P (SP), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Methods: A crosssectionalstudy had been done to 36 adenotonsilar hypertrophy child patients with OSA during the periodof time from May 2013-2015. OSA was diagnosed based on polisomnografi and the level of NEP, SP, IL-4and TNF-α by imunohistochemistry. Results: We found 21 subjects had OSA (58.3%) and 15 subjects didnot have OSA (41.7%), from total sample 36. There were significant associations between SP tonsil, SPadenoid and IL-4 tonsil with OSA (p<0.05). Although the number of NEP level in OSA was smaller thannon OSA and IL-4 adenoid, TNF-α tonsil and TNF-α adenoid OSA were found greater than non OSA,but the difference between them were not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: This study did not found asignificant correlation between NEP with OSA but there were significant correlations between SP andIL-4 with OSA.
