Objective Anovel index based on frequency-domain analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) was tested on patients with reduced left ventricular systolic function.This index,namely VHFI,was defined as the very high frequency (VHF) component of the power spectrum normalized to represent its relative value in proportion to the total power minus the very low frequency component.Methods Patients (n=130) were divided into a study group,consisting 66 patients with decreased left ventricular systolic function,and a control group,consisting 64 patients with normal heart structure and function and without severe coronary artery stenosis (＜50%).Results VHFI in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (19.17±13.35 vs 11.37±10.77,P＜0.001).Cardiac events occurred in 18 patients during follow-up (33.34±3.26 months).Defining the positive test as VHFI =15 and negative test as VHFI ＜15,achieved a sensitivity of 57.58% and a specificity of 78.13% for predicting decreased left ventricular systolic function,and achieved a sensitivity of 66.67% and a specificity of 64.29% for predicting cardiac events.Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that positive VHFI test was an independent variable in predictive cardiac events.Conclusions The results suggest that VHFI is a useful tool for quick evaluation of left ventricular systolic function and prediction of prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of self-made Yishen Antai Decoction combined with progesterone in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and the effect on pregnancy outcomes and blocking antibodies (BA). Methods 100 cases of patients with RSA were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with progesterone and on the basis, the observation group was additionally treated with self-made Yishen Antai Decoction. Both groups were intervened till 12 weeks of gestation, and the clinical curative effect was evaluated. Results The total effective rate of treatment, the success rate of pregnancy and the positive rate of blocking antibody (BA) showed significant differences between the observation group and the control group (P< 0.05). After treatment, the total TCM symptom score and serum levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were significantly lower while interleukin-10 (IL-10) level was significantly higher in the observation group than the control group (P< 0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in the two groups. Conclusion Self-made Yishen Antai Decoction is effective and safe in the treatment of RSA. It can significantly improve the success rate of pregnancy and the positive rate of BA, which may be associated with the regulation of IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ levels.

Vascular prosthesis can absorb y-globulin or fibrinogen when they are transplanted in vivo, accordingly the cellular components in blood, such as platelet, are easy to attach on surface and become fiat shape to be activated, which then result in an inreversible aggregation and thrombus formation. During the process of transplanting vascular prosthesis at a diameter of more than 6 mm, a high vascular patency rate can be observed, while small-diameter (< 6 mm) vascular prosthesis transplantation is under low blood flow, therefore it produces the thrombosis. It is necessary to conduct surface modification of small-diameter vascular prosthesis and to enhance hemocompatibility. The main methods of modification include the alter of surface structure of vascular prosthesis, the augmentation of endothelial cells attachment on surface of vascular prosthesis, and grafting modification of vascular prosthesis surface.
