Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy,safety and the correlation factors of recurrence of radiofrequency catheter ablation in treatment of atrial fibrillation.Methods The clinical data of 127 patients with atrial fibrillation having underwent circumferential pulmonary vein ablation guided by 3-D mapping system were analyzed retrospectively.Then they were followed up for 12 months.The status of patients after ablation and the success rate of ablation was recorded,then the relationship between the factors and the recurrence after ablation of atrial fibrillation was analyzed.Results After a follow up of 12 months,94 patients maintained sinus rhythm,and atrial fibrillation recurred in 33 cases.The first clinical success rate was 74.02%(94/127).Thirty-three patients with recurred atrial fibrillation received ablation again and 11 patients got success.The total clinical success rate was 82.68% (105/127).The success rate of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was 88.46% (92/104) and success rate of persistent atrial fibrillation was 56.52% (13/23).Univariate analysis showed that the type,the course,the diameters of left atrial,the early recurrence,the body mass index were related to the recurrence of atrial fibrillation,and multivariable Logistic analysis revealed only the type and the diameters of left atrial were independent risk factors responsible for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (P < 0.05).Conclusion Radiofrequency catheter ablation in treatment of atrial fibrillation is effective and safe,and the type and the diameters of left atrial are independent risk factors responsible for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

Objective:Objective The inhibitory effect of Niuhuang Qinggan Capsule on 2019-nCoV virus was studied to provide experimental evidence for drug screening and treatment of 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease.Methods:The 2019-nCoV virus GS048 strain was isolated and cultured by Vero-E6 cells. The solution of Niuhuang Qinggan capsule was incubated with virus in vitro to determine the change of virus titer. The effect of Niuhuang Qinggan capsule on the proliferation of 2019-nCoV virus was determined by cell culture medium method.Results:It was found that the concentration of 274.3 μg/ml was not toxic to the cells when the concentration of drugs was lower. When the drug was incubated with virus, the titer of virus decreased from 10 4.4TCID 50/ml to 10 2.8TCID 50/ml. In vitro 2019-nCoV virus culture experiment showed that the addition of the drugs reduced the cytopathy, and the logarithmic value of virus titer decreased by 40% -50%. Conclusion:In this study, in vitro inhibition experiments suggest that Niuhuang Qinggan capsule has the potential to inhibit the proliferation of 2019-nCoV. It can be used as a candidate drug to further verify the therapeutic effect of the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease.
