Objective: To explore the value of parameters obtained by dual-pulse wave Doppler to predict the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) and the value of the technology to evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function of the AF. Methods: Sixty-seven AF patients who were subjected to ablation were selected as the case group, and 47 patients with sinus rhythm were matched as control group. The general clinical data of the case group and the control group was collected, routine ultrasound examination and dual-pulse wave Doppler examination were performed to all of them. A 24-hour Holter examination was performed at 3, 6 and 12 months after radiofrequency catheter ablation in the case group, the patients were divided into two groups with and without recurrence according to the results. Dual-pulse wave Doppler parameters included: ①the time interval between the onset of early transmitral flow velocity (E) and that of early diastolic mitral annular velocity (e′) (TE-e′); ②peak early diastolic transmitral flow velocity (E) and tissue Doppler septal (S) mitral annular early diastolic velocity (e′), peak early diastolic transmitral flow velocity (E) and tissue Doppler lateral (L) mitral annular early diastolic velocity (e′), E/e′(S) and E/e′(L). The differences between the case group and the control group, and between the recurrent and the non-recurrent group were compared. The factors influencing the recurrence of AF after RFCA were analyzed with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: ①The parameters E/e′(S), E/e′(L) and TE-e′ of case group were higher than those of control group (all P<0.05); ②During follow-up examinations after the ablation, 21 (31.34%) patients recurred. TE-e′ of the recurrence group was higher than that in the nonrecurrence group (P<0.001). The parameters E/e′(S) and E/e′(L) in the recurrence group had no difference compared with those in nonrecurrence group without recurrence(all P>0.05); ③Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression suggested that TE-e′ was an independent predictor for the recurrence of AF patients after the ablation(P=0.001). Conclusions Dual-pulse wave Doppler can evaluate left ventricular diastolic function of atrial fibrillation, TE-e′ is an independent predictor for the recurrence of AF patients after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Objective To investigate the effect of autophagy response on neurological functions and the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway in rats after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Fifty-four healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,TBI group and TBI+autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) group (n=18).TBI animal models of the later two groups were established using Feeney's method.Rats in the sham-operated group were only performed bone window opening without knock;rats in the TBI+3-MA group were given intraperitoneal injection of 3-MA(5 mg/kg) 30 min after modeling and rats in the other two groups were given the same volume of normal saline.Three and 7 d after modeling,the protein levels of S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in serum were tested with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);modified neurologic severity scale (mNSS) was used to detect the movement,sense and reflex functions;brain water content was measured with wet-dry weight method.The autophagy related factors (LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1) and MAPKs signaling pathway related factors (c-Jun N-terminal kinase [JNK],phosphorylated [p]-JNK,extracellular signal-regulated kinase [ERK]1/2,p-ERK1/2,p38MAPK and p-p38MAPK) protein expressions in TBI cerebral cortex were determined by Western blotting.Results As compared with those in the sham-operated group,the brain edema level,mNSS scores,and S100B and NSE protein levels in the TBI group and TBI+3-MA group were significantly increased (P＜0.05);TBI+3-MA group had significantly lower brain edema level,mNSS scores,and S100B and NSE protein levels than TBI group (P＜0.05).The expression levels of autophagy and MAPKs signaling pathway related factors in the TBI group and TBI+3-MA group were significantly higher as compared with those in the sham-operated group (P＜0.05).As compared with the TBI group,TBI+3-MA group had significantly decreased levels of LC3-Ⅱ,Beclin-1 and activation of JNK and p-p38MAPK signaling pathways (P＜0.05).Conclusion Suppressing autophagy response markedly improves neurological outcomes after TBI,possibly mediated by inhibiting activation of JNK and p38MAPK signaling pathways.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of hearing loss caused by neonatal cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, to construct a nomogram prediction model, and to evaluate its discrimination and consistency.Methods:Data of a total of 250 neonates with congenital and perinatal CMV infection who were treated in our hospital from June 2018 to March 2021 were collected, and grouped into hearing-impaired group of 50 cases and hearing-unimpaired group of 200 cases according to whether the hearing was impaired or not. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors affecting hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates. R software was applied to construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates, and the ROC curve and calibration curve were analyzed to verify the discrimination and consistency of the nomogram model.Results:Among 250 CMV-infected neonates in the modeling group, the incidence of hearing impairment was 20.00%. The proportion of primary maternal infection before 14 weeks of gestation, the proportion of urine CMV viral load >5×10 4 copies/ml, the proportion of symptomatic CMV infection and the proportion of abnormal head MRI in the hearing-impaired group were significantly higher than those in the hearing-unimpaired group ( χ2=12.545, 11.812, 11.801, and 9.025, P=0.000, 0.001, 0.001, and 0.003). That urine CMV viral load>5×10 4 copies/ml, symptomatic CMV infection and abnormal head MRI were the risk factors affecting hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates ( OR=2.388, 6.765, and 4.993, P=0.022, 0.000, and 0.001), the prediction model of the line graph was constructed using Bootstrap internal verification, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test =6.055, P=0.301, area under ROC curve was 0.817, 95% CI=0.754~0.880, and external verification result showed that the predicted probability of the calibration curve was close to the actual probability and has a good agreement, with an AUC of 0.791 (95% CI=0.716~0.866). Conclusions:The nomogram model constructed in this study to predict the risk of hearing loss caused by CMV infection in neonates can be used for the prediction of hearing loss in neonates after CMV infection.

Objective:To observe the change of the left ventricular(LV) wall shear stress (WSS) using vector flow mapping (VFM) in different segments at each phase of diastolic period among normal subjects.Methods:From August 2018 to March 2019, 200 healthy volunteers selected from the Physical Examination Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were recruited. The WSS values of LV segments at the same and at different phases[isovolumic relaxation period(D1), rapid filling period(D2), slow filling period(D3), atrial contraction period(D4)] in diastole were measured and analyzed.Results:①The relationships of the WSS of LV different segments at the same phase of diastolic period: The WSS values of anterior septum, posterior septum and posterior wall during D1, and the WSS values of posterior septum, posterior wall and inferior wall during D2 showed basal>middle>apical segments, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). ②The changes of the WSS values of LV different segments during diastolic period: During D1-D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in anterior septum, posterior septum, anterior wall, lateral wall and inferior wall showed an increasing-decreasing-increasing trend. During D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in the posterior wall showed a decreasing-increasing trend. During D1-D2-D3-D4 period, the absolute values of WSS in the apical segment of anterior septum, basal and middle segments of posterior septum, basal, middle and apical segments of anterior wall, basal segment of lateral wall, the middle and apical segments of posterior wall, basal and middle segments of inferior wall all showed an increasing-decreasing-increasing trend, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The LV WSS in different segments at the same phase or in the same segment at the different phases in diastole exhibit a regular change and is consistent with the LV hemodynamic changes, which indicates that WSS can quantitatively reflect the hemodynamic changes of the LV in normal subjects.
