ObjectiveTo investigated the effects of Rhodiola Compound on improving the intellective function in mice and provide the basis for clinical application.MethodsMice were divided to different groups of three doses of rhodiola compound (0.3 g/kg,0.6 g/kg,1.2 g/kg) and swimming abilities were tested.Other mice were administrated single dose of compound rhodiola( 1.2 g/kg) and training by Morris water maze.Drug's improving intelligence function was assessed using memory acquisition impaired models made by scopolamine or alcohol.When the Morris water maze test was finished,mice were killed and brains were removed immediately to measure SOD and NO levels.ResultsGroups of three doses of compound rhodiola could significantly prolong the swimming time(P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01 ).Compound Rhodiola group can significantly reduce the swimming distance than the untreated group( ethanol model group:(26 906.6 ± 2769.7 ) mm,RCE treated group:( 19 586.1 ± 6826.7 ) mm ; P ＜0.05 ).Swimming distance and time of cross-platform quadrant was significantly increased,comparing with model group (P ＜ 0.05 ).Compound Rhodiola significantly enhanced the activity of mouse brain's SOD ( Scopolamine model group:( 150.3 ± 17.7 ) U/ml,RCE treated group:( 197.9 ± 16.8 ) U/ml ; P ＜ 0.05 ) and NO levels ( Scopolamine model group:( 44.7 ± 16.7 ) μmol/gprot,RCE treated group:( 65.4 ± 14.5 ) μmol/gprot ; P ＜ 0.05 ) significantly.ConclusionCompound Rhodiola could promote mice learning and memory function,SOD and NO in brain maybe play a important role in this effect.

Objective To study the factors influencing the outcome of patients suffering from in-hospital ventricular fibriUation (IHVF), as there have been few studies focusing on this topic. Methods Patients with IHVF collected in a single cardiac center were classified into a successful group and a failure group. Data relevant to the predicting factors of the two groups were compared. Results There were 206 events in the analysis. The most common underlining disease was coronary artery disease (CAD), especially acute myocardial infarction (AMI). On multiple logistic regression analysis, it was shown that the independent predictors for failure of defebriUation were higher NYHA class (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2. 2,P <0.001), higher blood potassium level (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.9-4.3, P =0.007) and adrenaline usage (OR 25.0, 95% CI 11.5-55. 1, P <0.001). In a AMI sub-group, 56. 9% of the IHVF events occurred within the first day of AMI, and the occurrence descended with time going on within 2 weeks. Before the occurrence of IHVF, the patients with right coronary artery as the infarction related artery (IRA) often suffered from(8/9, 88.9%) bradycardia (R-R interval > 1 s), but those with left anterior descending artery as IRA often showed (8/12, 66.7%) tachycardia (RR interval < 0.6 s). Conclusions The common disease causing IHVF is CAD. The worse the heart function, the higher the rate of IHVF and the worse theprognosis. It IHVF not induced by hypokalemia and use of adrenaline in resuscitation predict lower successful defibrillation rate.

Objective To explore the role of apoptosis of neutrophils and vascular endothelial cells and changes of relative cytokines and thrombotic factors in the pathogenesis of traumatic sepsis at the advanced stage.Methods The venous blood was collected from the patients with traumatic sepsis at advanced stage and traumatic patients without sepsis and healthy subjects.The peripheral hlood mononu- clear cells(PBMC)and neutrophils were isolated and cultured.The apoptosis of neutrophils and vascular endothelial cells was assayed,and the level of IL-4,IL-10 in PBMC culture supernatants were deter- mined,and the tissue factor(TF)and vW factor(vWF)of peripheral plasma were measured.Results The percentages of apoptosis of neutrophils and numbers of apoptotic circulating vascular endothelial cells were higher than that of traumatic patients without sepsis and healthy controls significantly.And the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4,IL-10 and thrombotic factors TF,vWF in traumatic sepsis were elevated than that of traumatic patients without sepsis and controls too.Conclusion Immune suppres- sion and abnormal thrombotic state may be one characteristic of traumatic sepsis at advanced stage,which perhaps involveds in the pathogenesis of traumatic sepsis at the advanced stage and multiple organ dys- function syndrome.

BACKGROUNDThe aim of this study was to clarify the electrocardiographic characteristics of repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (RMVT) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract, and to describe the results of treatment with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).

METHODSRoutine 12-lead surface electrocardiography and electrophysiological studies were performed on 11 RMVT patients with no organic heart disease, who were subsequently treated with RFCA directed at targets identified by pace mapping.

RESULTSThe surface electrocardiogram QRS characteristics of RMVT included an atypical left bundle branch block and right axis deviation, with a low amplitude "rs" or "rS" pattern in lead I, an "rS" or "RS" pattern in V1, and a precordial R wave transition zone in V2 or V3. In 1 patient, a small S wave was observed in V5. Using pace mapping techniques, we selected the left coronary cusp as the ablation target. RMVT was eliminated in all 11 patients immediately after radiofrequency energy delivered. During a follow-up of 13 +/- 7 months, RMVT recurred in only 1 patient.

CONCLUSIONRMVT originating from the left ventricular outflow tract has specific electrocardiographic characteristics, and can be successfully and safely cured using RFCA directed at the left coronary cusp.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the unipolar electrogram from successful and unsuccessful ablation sites of focal atrial tachycardia (AT), and to evaluate its value in the identification of successful targets.

METHODSFifteen consecutive patients with focal AT were referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Both unipolar (from the tip electrode of ablating catheter) and bipolar (from the distal pair of electrode of ablating catheter) electrograms were used to identify the ablation targets of focal AT.

RESULTSSuccessful ablation was echieved in 14 patients. Radiofrequency energy was delivered at a total of 27 sites. The bipolar electrograms associated with successful ablation sites showed earlier atrial deflection relative to P wave onset (36 ms +/- 15 ms vs 30 ms +/- 11 ms, P < 0.05) than the electrograms associated with failed ablation sites. At the 14 successful ablation sites, the unipolar electrograms displayed a completely negative atrial wave ("QS" morphology) beginning with intrinsic deflection. However, at the 13 unsuccessful ablation sites, a "rS" morphology of atrial wave was shown on the unipolar electrogram.

CONCLUSIONThe "QS" morphology of the atrial wave on unipolar electrograms appears to represent a reliable marker for identifying the successful ablation targets of focal AT, with a high sensitivity and specificity.
