Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on the protein expression of c-fos in fastigial nucleus (FN) and lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) in rats with acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), and to explore the role and mechanism of FN and LHA in EA at the Heart Meridian fighting against acute MIRI reaction. Methods: Seventy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, an EA-Heart Meridian group and an EA-Lung Meridian group, with 14 rats in each group; an LHA lesion plus EA-Heart Meridian group (LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group) and a FN lesion plus EA-Heart Meridian group (FN+EA-Heart Meridian group), with 7 rats in each group. Except the sham operation group, the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to establish acute MIRI rat models in the other 5 groups. In the three groups with EA-Heart Meridian treatment, Shenmen (HT 7) and Tongli (HT 5) were selected; Taiyuan (LU 9) and Lieque (LU 7) were selected in the EA-Lung Meridian group. All the EA groups received EA stimulation prior to modeling, with 1 mA in current intensity and 2 Hz in frequency, 20 min each time, once a day for a total of 7 d. The sham operation group and the model group did not receive EA stimulation. The electrocardiogram was observed in the rats to analyze the ST-segment deviation and cardiac arrhythmia score. The expression of c-fos protein in FN and LHA was detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the ST-segment deviation, cardiac arrhythmia score and the expression of c-fos protein in the FN and LHA increased significantly in the model group (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the ST-segment deviation, cardiac arrhythmia score and the expression of c-fos protein in FN and LHA decreased significantly in the EA-Heart Meridian group (all P<0.05). Compared with the EA-Heart Meridian group, the ST-segment deviation and cardiac arrhythmia score increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group, LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group and FN+EA-Heart Meridian group (all P<0.05); the expression of c-fos in FN increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group and LHA+EA-Heart Meridian group (both P<0.05); the expression of c-fos in LHA increased significantly in the EA-Lung Meridian group and FN+EA-Heart Meridian group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: FN and LHA are involved in the mechanism of EA at Heart Meridian to improve the acute MIRI reactions, and the cerebellum may participate in the improvement of cardiac function by EA through the cerebellum-hypothalamus projection.

Objective:To study the diagnostic efficacy and prognostic evaluation value of QT interval dispersion (QTd) in children and adolescents with cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (VVS-CI).Methods:From July 2010 to January 2020, 80 children and adolescents who received their first visit or admission to the Pediatric Syncope Clinic of The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University and definite diagnosed of VVS-CI due to syncope or presyncope were selected as the VVS-CI group, meanwhile, 80 children and adolescents who had physical examination in the hospital were selected as the control group.QT interval were measured by 12-lead electrocardiogram at the baseline.Results:(1) Comparison between the two groups: Compared with the control group, the VVS-CI group had a significantly lower heart rate ( P<0.05) and significantly longer QT interval, such as the maximum QT interval (QTmax), minimum QT interval (QTmin), QTd, corrected maximum QT interval (QTcmax) and corrected QT interval dispersion (QTcd) ( P<0.05). After follow-up 84 (45, 127) days, compared with the responsive group, the non-responsive group had a significantly longer QT interval, such as QTmax, QTd, QTcmax, corrected minimum QT interval (QTcmin)and QTcd ( P<0.05). (2) Diagnostic efficiency: QTmax, QTmin, QTd, QTcmax and QTcd had a certain diagnostic value in children and adolescents with VVS-CI ( P<0.001). QTd had the largest area under the curve (AUC) (0.914), and had a sensitivity of 86.30% and a specificity of 84.95% at the optimal cut-off value of 28.50 ms for VVS-CI diagnosis.(3) Prognostic evaluation value: QTmax, QTd, QTcmax, QTcmin, QTcd had an estimated value for the prognosis of VVS-CI in children and adolescents ( P<0.05 or 0.01). QTd had the largest AUC (0.906) and the best cut-off value was 34.50 ms, the sensitivity to predict response to VVS-CI intervention was 90.00%, and the specificity was 82.35%. Conclusion:QTd of electrocardiogram has a good estimation value in the diagnosis and prognosis of VVS-CI in children and adolescents.
