Objectives: Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to die prematurely than
the general population. They have a higher risk of cardiovascular related
morbidity and mortality. Antipsychotic medications are also known to be
associated with the prolongation of the rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval, which
is linked to dangerous arrhythmias. The primary objective of our study is to
investigate the practice of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for patients with
schizophrenia who were hospitalised. The secondary objective is to evaluate the
prevalence of QTc prolongation in this group of patients. Methods: We included
patients with schizophrenia who were discharged from the acute general adult
psychiatric wards of the Institute of Mental Health in Singapore from 1 July
2014 to 21 July 2014. A retrospective analysis of the medical records was carried
out to assess if they had received ECG during their hospitalisation. We also
analysed their risk of developing QTc prolongation. Results: We had a sample
size of 107 patients. There were 31 patients (29·0%) who received ECG during
their hospitalisation. Of the 95 patients who had moderate-to-high risk of
developing QTc prolongation, 29 of them received ECG. Of the 31 patients who
received ECG, 10 of them (32·3%) had QTc prolongation. Conclusion: The ECG
monitoring in the study patients was inadequate, and as a result, we were unable
to evaluate the prevalence of prolonged QTc interval with confidence. We
recommend performing baseline ECGs for these patients and conducting ECG
teachings for clinicians who work in the psychiatric service settings. ASEAN

AIM: To determine the optimal operation method and reduce operative complications by retrospective analysis of outcomes of different operative manipulation for patients with congenital ectopia lentis ( CEL) .
●METHODS: A retrospective study ranged from Jan. 1, 2010 to Jan. 1, 2015 was conducted and 31 CEL patients (57 eyes) treated with different operations were taken into this study. The postoperative outcome, operation related complications was analyzed in terms of different operative manipulations.
● RESULTS: The most common types of CEL are idiopathic and Marfan - related CEL. All eyes ( 98%) benefited from operation except 1 Marchesani syndrome eye concurrent with optic atrophy induced by glaucoma. A total of 3 eyes ( 5%) were treated by phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation; 8 eyes ( 14%) were treated by phacoemulsification, capsular tension ring implantation combined with intraocular lens implantation, among these 8 eyes, 1 eye was treated with capsular tension ring implantation combined with suture fixation; 39 eyes ( 68%) were treated by lens excision and anterior vitrectomy through corneal incision combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation, among these 39 eyes, 2 eyes were treated with trabeculectomy , but not combined with intraocular lens implantation; 5 eyes ( 9%) were treated by intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation; 2 eyes ( 4%) were treated by lens excision and vitrectomy through pars plana combined with silicon oil injection.
● CONCLUSION: Almost all patients can obtain satisfactory outcomes through various operative manipulations. Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation was the first choice for patients with lens dislocation range less than 90°. Phacoemulsification, capsular tension ring implantation combined with intraocular lens implantation was recommended for 90° - 180°, and lens excision and anterior vitrectomy through corneal incision combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation was more suitable for lens dislocation range more than 180°. The appropriate operative methods for different types of CEL patients is the key to success.

Objective To evaluate mechanical radial scanning endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for preoperative tumor and lymph node ( TN ) staging of esophageal cancer. Methods From January 2010 to June 2010, a total of 60 patients with esophageal cancer underwent preoperative staging with mechanical radial scanning EUS. The findings of EUS were compared with postoperative pathological outcomes. Results EUS accurately predicted T stage in 80 % of cases and N stage in 71% cases. Sensitivities to T1 , T2 , T3 and T4 were 75% , 100% , 96% and 50% , respectively, and those to N0 and N1 were 55% and 100% , respectively. With exclusion of 11 patients with un-passable lesions, the accurate rate of EUS in T staging of focal and advanced cancers was 90% ( 44/49 ). Conclusion Mechanical radial scanning EUS can accurately predict T and N stages in preoperative patients with esophageal cancer, which also exhibits high differential accuracy in focal and advanced esophageal cancer.

Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology 2008;24(1):71-76
AIMTo explore the effects of sleep deprivation (SD) on myocardium and its antioxygen index.
METHODS35 Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups: Cage control, Tank control, SD 2 d, SD 4 d and SD 6 d. The "flower pot" technique was used to establish rats sleep deprivation model followed by record of surface electrocardiogram, detection of myocardium morphology changes under microscope and transmission electron microscope and investigation of MDA content and SOD activity of myocardial mitochondria.
RESULTSAfter sleep deprivation, heart rate increased and ECG showed ischemia of myocardium; subcellular organelles such as chromosome, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, intercalated disk impaired, myofibril lysis or necrosis, and lipid peroxidation reaction effects spread widely; edema, bleeding of the microvessels and invasion of the monocytes could be seen in the lumen. The MDA level increased and SOD activity increased followed by a decreased trend.
CONCLUSIONSleep deprivation can induce damage on myocardium, and the stress especially oxygen stress caused by SD may be the possible mechanism.
