Objective To evaluate the frequently used electrocardiographic criteria and propose a modified algorithm for differentiating typical atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia(AVNRT)from atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia(AVRT).Methods Twelve-lead electrocardiograms(ECGs)during sinus rhythm and atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia(AVNRT)or atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia(AVRT)with a narrow QRS complex were obtained from 154 patients who had received successful radiofrequency catheter ablation from Jan.2003 to Nov.2005.The ECGs of initial 104 patients were analyzed by 3 observers without knowledge of the electrophysiological diagnosis.According to these initial results,we proposed a modified stepwise ECG algorithm which used pseudo r′/S/Q waves,RP interval,and ST-segment elevation in lead aVR during tachycardia.Two observers assessed the algorithm in additional 50 patients.Results The algorithm was able to increase the overall accuracy from 77% and 79% with original algorithm to 84% and 87% with the modified algorithm,respectively.The inter-observer concordance was 85%.The intra-observer concordance was 89% in both investigators.Conclusion The modified algorithm can improve the accuracy of differential diagnosis between typical AVNRT and AVRT via concealed accessory pathway.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating severe pneumonia complicated with gastrointestinal dysfunction (GIDF).Method Sixty patients with severe pneumonia complicated with GIDF were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The two groups were both given conventional Western medications. In addition, the treatment group was intervened by acupuncture, and the control group by oral administration of Mosapride citrate capsules and enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube. After 7-day treatment, the changes of GIDF score, intraabdominal pressure, bowel sound and gastric retention were observed in the two groups, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.1% in the treatment group versus 78.6% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores of GIDF and the indexes (intraabdominal pressure, bowel sound, and gastric retention) were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The scores of GIDF and the indexes in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in severe pneumonia patients, since it can significantly improve the intraabdominal pressure, bowel sound and gastric retention.

Aim To investigate the effect and mecha-nism of valproic acid on neuroglobin expression, and the neuroprotective role of valproic acid against H2 O2-induced neurotoxicity. Methods Western blot, RT-PCR and luciferase assay were used to detect the pro-tein levels, mRNA levels and promoter activity of mouse and human neuroglobin induced by valproic acid. Luciferase assay was used to investigate the role of transcription factor CREB in the up-regulation of neuroglobin by valproic acid. MTT assay was used to evaluate the effect of valproic acid against H2 O2-in-duced neurotoxicity. Results VPA treatment marked-ly increased the protein levels, mRNA levels and pro-moter activity of Ngb in mouse N2 a cells and human SKNSH cells. CREB specific inhibitor KG501 or CREB dominant negative mutant KCREB attenuated VPA-induced Ngb promoter activity. VPA could pro-tect N2a cells from H2 O2-induced neurotoxicity. Con-clusion CREB mediates VPA-induced Ngb up-regula-tion, which may contribute to the neuroprotective effects of VPA in oxidative stress in neurons.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in a real-world clinical practice in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods It was a prospective,multi-center,observational study.A total of 165 consecutive patients with MM treated with lenalidomide-based regimens were enrolled in 12 hospitals from June 2013 to November 2015.Relevant information was recorded,such as baseline clinical data,cytogenetic abnormalities,treatment regimens,and duration of treatment,safety,and survival.Results (1)There were 126 relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM) patients,25 newly diagnosed patients and 19 maintenance patients.The evaluable RRMM patients accounted for 120 cases,among which 74 cases(61.7%) reached the partial response (PR) or above,and a very good partial response (VGPR) in 16 patients (13.3%),a complete response (CR) in 14 cases (11.7%),a strictly complete response (sCR) in 4 cases (3.3%).Thus,a VGPR or above in 34 patients accounted for 28.3%.(2)The median follow-up was 13 months,the median time to progression 12 months.The median survival after receiving lenalidomide was 19 months,and the median overall survival (OS) was 62 months.(3) The univariate analysis in 120 RRMM patients suggested that prognostic factors for significant improvement in PFS included normal karyotype,international staging system (ISS) Ⅰ-Ⅱ,t(4;14) negative (detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization),non-bortezomib resistance and response to previous regimens.As to OS,nonbortezomib resistance,response to previous regimens and non-primary refractoriness were positive factors.Multivariate analysis showed that the response to previous regimens (PR or better) was an independent good prognostic factor for progress-free survival (PFS),non-bortezomib resistance and non-primary refractoriness for OS.(4) Grade 3 or 4 adverse events that occurred in more than 10% of all enrolled patients were neutropenia (12.7%),leukocytosis (11.5%) and thrombocytopenia (12.7%).Owing to intolerance of toxic side effects,7 cases withdrew lenalidomide.Conclusions No matter what combination,regimens containing lenalidomide are effective to RRMM patients with overall response rate 61.7%,a time to progression 12 months and an overall survival 62 months.The toxicity is quite tolerable and manageable.In addition,the response to previous treatment (reached PR or above) is the independent good prognostic factor for PFS,non-bortezomib resistance and non-primary refractoriness for OS.Clinical trail registration Clinicaltrials.gov,NCT01947309
