Objective To evaluate the accuracy of the new and old electrocardiographic algorithms for differentiating the origins of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias. Methods The clinical data of 202 patients treated between 2010 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed for the investigations of the four algorithms including the transitional zone index, the V2 transition ratio, V2 R-wave duration and R/S-wave amplitude indices and the Sv2/Rv3 index. Results Regardless of rotation, the V2 transition ratio had the highest sensitivity (93.5%), while the Sv2/Rv3 index had the highest specificity (93.8). The maximal area under the ROC curve of four was more than 0.8, while the transitional zone index had the minimal area (0.804) with statistical significance (P < 0.001). In the patients with precordial transition, the V2 transition ratio had the highest sensitivity (93.9%), while the Sv2/Rv3 index had the highest specificity (94.7%). The maximal area under the ROC curve of four was more than 0.8 with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion Regardless of rotation, the Sv2/Rv3 index has the highest specificity and equal diagnostic value, with equal diagnostic value of the V2 transition ratio and V2 R-wave duration and R/S-wave amplitude indices. Compared with other algorithms, the Sv2/Rv3 index is simple and can be a complement as well for the direction of ablation therapy.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of lysine acetyltransferase 5(KAT5) on the radio-sensitivity of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).Methods:The expression levels of endogenous KAT5 in ATC and normal thyroid cells were detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. The effect of KAT5 specific inhibitor NU9056 on the radio-sensitivity of human ATC cells and normal thyroid cells was evaluated by colony formation assay. TCGA database, JASPAR database, along with Western blot, microRNA sequencing, qRT-PCR and dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to unravel the underlying mechanism.Results:The expression of endogenous KAT5 at the protein and mRNA levels in human ATC cells was significantly higher than that in normal thyroid cells. NU9056 could significantly enhance the radiosensitivity of human ATC cells to 8505C and CAL-62, whereas showed no sensitization effect on normal thyroid cell Nthy-ori 3-1. Knockdown of KAT5 and NU9056 both down-regulated the expression level of miR-210 in the TC cells, while NU9056 decreased the expression level of transcription factor c-Myc. The putative binding sites of c-Myc in the miR-210 promoter region were predicted, and transfection of c-Myc plasmid significantly enhanced the luciferase activity of miR-210 promoter. Elevated miR-210 level was associated with worse survival of patients with thyroid carcinoma. Down-regulated expression of miR-210 decreased the TET2 mRNA level, while inhibition of miR-210 increased the TET2 mRNA level.Conclusion:The aberrantly-activated KAT5/miR-210/TET2 pathway probably causes the radioresistance of ATC, becoming a novel sensitizing target for ATC radiotherapy in clinical practice.

High extracellular potassium can induce spreading depression-like depolarizations, elevations of extracellular glutamate and even neuronal death in normal brain. To investigate the contribution of high potassium in vivo, a microelectrode arrays ( MEAs ) probe integrated with recording sites for glutamate concentration (50í150 μm) and local field potential ( LFP) ( diameter=15 μm) was fabricated by Micro-electro-mechanical-systems ( MEMS) technologies. We implanted the MEA probe acutely in the rat brain and exposed the brain to a high potassium solution. During these multi-modal recordings, it was observed that high potassium elevated extracellular glutamate while suppressing the LFP irreversibly. This is one of the first studies in which a dual mode MEA probes is applied in vivo for neuronal death, and it is concluded that our MEA probes are capable of examining specific spatiotemporal relationships between electrical and chemical signaling in the brain.

Background Graft rejection is a primary cause of corneal transplantation failure,especially in high-risk keratoplasty.How to extend the survival time of graft is a problem to be solved.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of immune tolerance on high-risk rat keratoplasty induced by donor bone marrowderived immature dendritic cells (imDCs) transfected by chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) recombinant adenovirus (Ad).Methods Bone marrow-derived imDCs were isolated and cultured from femur marrow of one male Wistar donor rat.The cells were transfected using recombinant Ad vector with rat CCR7 gene and resuspended in 500 μl PBS containing 1％ fetal bovine serum with the cells 1 × 107.High-risk corneal transplantaion models were established using monolateral corneal alkali-burn method in 60 SD rat recipients, and then allograft keratoplasty was performed with the 30 Wistar rats as donors.The models were randomized into the PBS group,imDCs group,imDCs with blank Ad vector group and imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group following the corresponding solution injection via caudal vein on preoperative day 7 and postoperative day 3 respectively.The survival time of graft was evaluated under the slit lamp microscope once per day.On the 14th day after operation, corneal sections were prepared from 6 eyes of each group for the pathological examination,and the relative expression levels of T helper cell 1 (Th1)-related factors,interleukin-2 (IL-2) mRNA and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) mRNA,as well as Th2-related factors, IL-4 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA, were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).The use and care of animals complied with the ARVO statement Results The mean survival time of grafts was (10.44±1.88) , (16.00±2.18) , (15.11±2.03) and(23.67±2.83) days in the PBS group,imDCs group,imDCs with blank Ad group and imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group, respectively, with a significant difference among the 4 groups (F =53.005, P =0.000).Compared with the PBS group, the mean survival time of grafts was considerably extended in the imDCs group,imDCs with blank Ad group and imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group (t=5.220,4.385,12.423 ,all at P=0.000) ,and a remarkble prolongation of graft survival duration was seen in the imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group in comparison with the imDCs group and the imDCs with blank Ad group (t =7.204,8.039,both at P=0.000).The relative expression levels of IFN-γ mRNA and IL-2 mRNA in the grafts were significantly lower,but the relative expression levels of IL-4 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA were significantly higher in the imDCs group,imDCs with blank Ad group and the imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group than those in the PBS group (all at P＜0.05).Compared with the imDCs group and the imDCs with blank Ad group, the relative expression levels of IFN-γ mRNA and IL-2 mRNA in the grafts were remarkably delined,but the relative expression levels of IL-4 mRNA and IL-10 mRNA were remarkably elevated in the imDCs with Ad-CCR7 group (all at P =0.000).Conclusions Application of imDCs transfected with CCR7 recombinant Ad via vena caudalis can prolong the survival time of grafts after keratoplasty of SD rats probably by affecting the balance of Th1/Th2 cytokines.
