Objective To investigate the left atrium (LA) function and structure changes in the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) patients after catheter ablation using tissue Doppler imaging. Methods After complete pul-monary vein, radiofrequency ablation guided by Ensite NavX System, LA systolic function and LA diameter, volume, mean mitral gradient and mitral annulus early and advanced diastolic peak velocity were assessed in 32 cases of par-oxysmal AF patients,which were compared with age-matched controls before and after 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month) AF ablation. Results AF did not occur again in 32 AF paroxysmal patients after isolation. LA diameter and volume in AF groups before ablation were larger than controls(P<0.01), which were also larger 24 hours after ablation than before (P>0.05 ), but LA volume was larger than before (P<0.05), and decreased in I week after ablation (P< 0.05), but had no significant difference compared with controls in 1 month(P>0.05 ) ;mitral annulus advanced di-astolic peak velocity decreased in AF groups before ablation (P<0.01 )and was lower than that 24 hours after cathe-ter ablation (P<0.05 ), but increased after 1 week (P<0.05 or P <0.01 ), and had no significance after 1 month. Conclusion Catheter ablation is the effective way to manage AF because LA is distended and atrial systolic func-tion is reduced within 24 hours after procedure, then gradually increased in a week and will nearly recover to that be-fore procedure in a month, which may be correlated with LA repair, implicating that postprocedural thromboembollc risk and procedure injury should be taken into consideration.

This study was aimed to explore the relationship between the Shen-Gui-Fang(SGF) formula of different proportions and treatments for diseases with the method of bibliometrics. A total of 49 formulae of SGF from ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were retrieved and the database was established in order to analyze the origin of herbal medicine and the relationship with the ratio of the key medicinal material, as well as the treatment for major diseases. The results showed that 49 SGF formulae were mainly used in the treatment of internal disorders for 16 times (32.65%), gynecological disorders for 17 times (34.69%) and pediatric disorders for 8 times (16.32%). Guistanded forAngelica sinensis. There were 3 types ofShen, which werePanax ginsengfor 40 times,Codonopsis pilosulafor 8 times, andSophora flavescensfor 1 time. The ratio betweenP. ginsengandA. sinensiswas less or equal to 1. The ratio betweenC. pilosulaandA. sinensiswas usually more than 1. The formulae with the highest frequency were in the treatment of internal medicine and gynecological diseases. Statistical analysis was used to find the application features and rules of the combination ofP. ginsengandA. sinensisin SGF formula, in order to provide theoretical evidences and references for clinical medication selection and new medication research.

Objective To investigate circulating level of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods We enrolled 104 consecutive patients with AF (67 are paroxymal AF and 37 are persistent AF) that presented to our hospital between August 2012 and June 2013. Subjects without AF (n=67) was used as controls who were matched for sex, age and atherosclerotic risk factors enrolled in the same period. Serum GDF-15 con-centration was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Echocardiography and laboratory parameters were compared among three groups. The correlation of GDF- 15 and hypersensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as well as the risk factors of development of AF were also analyzed. Results No significant difference in age, history of hypertension, coro-nary heart disease, and stroke was found among three groups (P>0.05). GDF-15 had significant difference between pa-tients with paroxysmal AF and controls [(1 473.14±628.52)μg/L vs (1 233.592±262.76)μg/L, P=0.012]. GDF-15 level was correlated with hs-CRP (rs=0.172,P=0.044). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that high GDF-15 is a risk factor of devel-opment of paroxysmal AF/AF (OR:1.002, 95%CI:1.000-1.003, P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with AF have a higher se-rum level of GDF-15 compared with controls and GDF-15 level is a risk factor of development of paroxysmal AF/AF.

Objective To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control projects in Hexi Reservoir on Oncomelania hupensis snail control. Methods The canal hardening+main water system widening+the overflow dam project,the concrete slope protec-tion,the banking and reclamation + concrete slope protection project,the environment reform project,and the comprehensive treatment were implemented in the tail area,the hydro-fluctuation belt,the rainwater harvesting zoon of the upstream area,the dam area,and the downstream area of the reservoir,respectively. The changes of the snail situation were investigated before and after the construction of the reservoir,and the snail control effects of the schistosomiasis control projects in different parts of the reservoir were analyzed. Results There were no Oncomelania snails found 3 years in the bottom area,dam area,hydro-fluctua-tion belt,tail region and downstream of the dam after the construction and storage of the reservoir and the implementation of the schistosomiasis control projects. In the rainwater harvesting zoon of the upstream area,the density of living snails decreased from 0.620 4 snails/0.1 m2 in 2009 to 0.113 2 snails/0.1 m2 in 2013,but the snail area still remained. Conclusions The schistosomia-sis control projects in Hexi Reservoir have effectively prevented the diffusion of Oncomelania snails from the rainwater harvesting zone of the upstream area to the dam area,and they are effective in the snail control.

Objective To measure and evaluate mesenteric artery by comparing the multi-slice spiral CT mesenteric artery images with autopsy specimens. Methods Totally 230 normal subjects were selected to undergo abdominal multi-slice spiral CT and enhanced CT. We processed the images;R3econstructed 3D images, analyzed and compare the mesenteric artery images obtained by multi-slice spiral CT with autopsy specimens. Results 1. Diameters of mesenteric artery obtained by vivo image were significantly larger than that of autopsy specimens (P<0.05);2. Start locations, branch types and running directions of both superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery were much different between traditional autopsy specimens information and our results.3. Different reconstruction methods had different advantages. Especially, STS-MIP method could present the level of mesenteric artery better. Conclusion The method for mesenteric artery study using multi-slice spiral CT can enhance scanning and 3D reconstruction with workstation has been approved to work well, and it is superior to traditional autopsy specimen method. It is also convenient for mesenteric artery scientific evaluation. The result data of this method are reliable. Moreover, this method is available to research with large number of specimen.
