Objective To assess the changes of right atrial size and mechanical function after radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using real-time threedimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE), and to study the correlation between the changes of left atrial(LA)and right atrial(RA) volume and function. Methods Thirty-five patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were undergone radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) successfully. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),tissue Doppler imaging(TDI) and RT-3DE were performed before, 1 month and 3 months after procedure respectively. Late systolic volume and area of RA and LA,ejection fraction(EF) of RA and LA,late diastolic peak velocity of mitral valve inflow, tricuspid valve inflow and late diastolic peak velocity of mitral annulus and tricuspid annulus were recorded. Results The 3DE images of all patients were satisfied.LA max area and 3DE LA max volume were significantly reduced at 1 months and 3 months after procedure compared with basic stage [ ( 18.8 ± 6.3) cm2 vs (21.5 ± 6.2) cm2 , (38.8 ± 17.0) ml vs (46.1 ± 20.0) ml,P ＜ 0.05]. 3DE LA EF also declined markedly at 1 month after RFCA, and restored at 3 months later compared with baseline [(41.1 ± 13.7) % vs (51.7 ± 15.9) %, (41.1 ± 13.7) % vs (45.6 ± 18.3) %, P ＜0.05]. The size and mechanical function of the right atrial after procedure were no obvious changes. There were no evidently correlation between the changes of LA and RA volume and function. Conclusions RT3DE can provide a precise method to quantify the value of atrial volume and function. The LA size and volume are significantly reduced after RFCA in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, however, the RA size and function are no obvious changes.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of sleep regulation technique of thought imprint psychotherapy in lower resistant state (TIP) for the treatment of primary insomnia.Methods 45 hospitalized outpatients with primary insomnia from sleep medical clinic of Guang'anmen Hospital were randomized at a 2 ∶ 1 ratio into a therapy group and a control group using random table.In the therapy group,patients received sleep regudation technique of TIP twice per week.In the control group,patients were asked to take zopiclone 3.75mg per night 30 minutes before bedtime.And the maximum dose can be 7.5mg according to their condition.The treatment lasted one month.Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality.Results ① After 4 weeks treatment,the clinical efficacy showed significant difference between the two groups (therapy group was 80％,control group was 33.3％).② Inner group comparison:therapy group was significantly improved in PSQI sleep quality (1.20 ± 0.71),sleep latency(1.53 ±1.01),sleep time(1.23 ±0.82),sleep efficiency(0.90±1.21),sleep disorders (1.30±0.65),sleep medication(0.13±1.36),daytime function (1.67±0.99),total score(8.30±3.19),(P＜0.05); the control group was significantly improved in the PSQI sleep quality(1.60±0.91),sleep latency(1.87±0.64),(P＜0.05).③ Inter group comparison:after treatment,compared to the control group,the therapy group was superior in the sleep latency,sleep time,sleep efficiency,sleep medication,daytime function,and total score ofPSQI (P＜0.05).Conclusion Sleep regulation techmique of thought imprint psychotherapy in lower resistant state can improve sleep quality of primary insomniacs.

Objective To investigate the safety of thalidomide in the treatment of immune-related bowel diseases for providing clinical reference.Methods Thirty-five patients with immune-related bowel diseases (31 Crohn's disease,2 ulcerative colitis and 2 Behcet's disease) treated with thalidomide were enrolled in this study.The incidence,type,severity,duration of thalidomide related adverse drug reaction (ADR) and the dose-effect relationship of neurotoxicity were analyzed.Results All the patients were treated with a mean dose of thalidomide (109.29 ± 30.37) mg/d for (18.8 ± 12.4) months,and 33 occurred ADR.The three most frequent ADR were numbness [51.4％ (18/35)],somnolence [48.6％ (17/35)] and dermatitis [37.1％ (13/35)].The median time to development of these three ADR were 6.50,0.25,and 1.00 months,respectively.Severe ADR leading to withdrawal accounted for 20.0％ (7/35),including reasons of peripheral neuritis (3/7),dermatitis (2/7) and myelosuppression (2/7).The incidence of peripheral neuritis was not significantly related to the maximal and initial dose of thalidomide (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Although the incidence of ADR was relatively high during the treatment of thalidomide,most of them were mild and well tolerated.Thalidomide can be safely used in patients with immune-related bowel diseases under close monitoring.

Objective Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of might-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was utilized to analyze the protein fingerprint in brain-gut interaction of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) model rats' colon, so as to find the clues for IBS. Methods Fourteen healthy male adult Wistar rats were selected and divided into a control and a chronic and acute stress ( CAS) group. Colon motility, visceral sensation and behavior changes of rats were detected to evaluate the model. MALDI-TOF-MS was used to observe the overall view of protein in colon so as to study whether there are abnormalities of protein levels in IBS. Results As compared with those in the control group, the number of fecal pellets [ (6. 00 ± 1. 69 ) pellets/1 h vs ( 1. 14 ± 0. 69 ) pellets/1 h, P < 0. 01 ] and frequency of abdominal contraction induced by colorectal distention (CRD) increased, while the amount of weight gain [ (298. 88 ± 18.61)gvs (348. 00±12. 44)g, P<0.01] and consumption of sucrose solutions [ (13. 63 ± 1. 69) ml/1 h vs (19.00±3.06) ml/1 h, P<0.05] decreased in the CAS group (P <0. 05). As far as protein/peptide quality different peak was concerned, CAS rats had 12 different peaks compared with the control rats. The different proteins could be divided into 4 types, which were related to iron secretion, protein synthesis, G protein system and immunity. The protein levels of the model group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions The CAS rats integrate the major characteristics of IBS such as altered colon motility, higher visceral hypersensitivity and psychiatric disorder and can mimic the brain-gut interaction of IBS partly. The detection of differential proteins provides reference for the pathogenesis and treatment of IBS.

Objective To develop a gut-brain interaction animal model of IBS which combines multiple factors including behavior, visceral sensation and motility. Methods Setting up a multifactor interactional animal model (chronic acute combining stress model, CACS) based on a chronic unpredictable mild stress model of depression (CUMS) while combined with wrap restraint stress (WRS) , changes of some indexes were recorded including motility (granules of defecating, time of defecating), visceral sensitivity ( spontaneous contraction of abdominal striated muscles ) and behavior/mind ( sucrose consumption, body weight). G protein subunits were measured by Western blot in both hippocampus and prefrontal cortex simultaneously. Results ( 1 ) Compared with the state before stress given, defecating granules increased, defecating time of glassie from rectum shorten, number of abdominal contraction increased, and sucrose consumption decreased in CACS, however, neither significant change was found on defecating behavior in CUMS nor on sucrose consumption in WRS; (2) Compared with the control group, some G protein submits expression decreased in both CACS and CUMS( P < 0. 05 ) , while no significant changes of any G protein subunits were found in WRS. Conclusion The CACS animal model was a new, brain-gut interaction model, which can mimic part of human symptoms of IBS very well.
