Objective: Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) increases ventricular transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR). Our work evaluated the relationship between QTc interval of TDR indicators, TpTe, TpTe/QTc ratio and rapid ventricular arrhythmia in patients with CRT-D. Methods: A total of 160 consecutive patients who received CRT-D implantation in our hospital from 2011-01 to 2013-03 were studied. The immediate post operative ECG was collected to analyze lead V5 QTc interval, TpTe and TpTe/QTc ratio for assessing its TDR. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Treatment group, the patients with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular ifbrillation received CRT-D,n=30 (18.7%) and Non-treatments group,n=130 (81.3%). All patients were followed-up for (20 ± 10) months and the rapid ventricular arrhythmia was recorded by CRT-D devices. Results: The patients in Treatment group had increased TpTe/QTc (0.24 ± 0.05) vs (0.20 ± 0.04, and TpTe (119 ± 30) ms vs (95 ± 20) ms, bothP<0.001. The QTc interval was similar between 2 groups (480 ± 60) ms vs (470 ± 70) ms,P=0.6 and QTc interval was not related to the risk of CRT-D requirement. The sensitivity and speciifcity for TpTe/QTc ≥ 0.25 predicting the risk of ventricular arrhythmia in CRT-D patients were at 47% and 91%, while TpTe ≥ 120 ms were at 40% and 95%respectively. The post CRT-D surviving curve analysis indicated that TpTe/QTc ratio and TpTe could predict the prognosis in relevant patients,P<0.001. Conclusion: The elevated TpTe and TpTe/QT ratio may increase the incidence of CRT-D requirement in patients with ventricular arrhythmia after resynchronization.

OBJECTIVEInhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in human brain caused by phoxim or phoxim oxon, their reactivation with oxime and aging of phosphorylated AChE were studied and compared in vitro.

METHODSMicro-colorispectrophotometric assay was used to determine the activity of AChE.

RESULTSThe pI(50) of inhibition of AChE in human brain by phoxim and phoxim oxon were 5.39 and 5.77, respectively, whereas the pI(90) were 4.60 and 5.00, respectively. The reactivation rate of 0.1 mmol/L of pralidoxime (2-PAM), obidoxime (LüH(6)), trimedoxime (TMB-4) and pyramidoxime (HI-6) for phoxim-inhibited AChE in human brain was 65%, 97%, 91% and 56%, respectively, and their reactivation rate for phoxim oxon-inhibited AChE in human brain was 97%, 87%, 99% and 89%, respectively. The optimal reactivator for phoxim and phoxim oxon-inhibited AChEs was LüH(6) and TMB-4, respectively. The half aging time of phoxim and phoxim oxon inhibited phosphorylated AChEs were 39 and 28 hours, respectively, and the 99% aging time were 256 and 186 hours, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSLüH(6) or TMB-4 should be used at the earlier as possible after poisoning with phoxim and phoxim oxon, and the reactivator should be consecutively used for more than seven days, even after their acute symptoms have been well controlled.

Objective:To analyze the safety and therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and laparoscopic total pancreatectomy (LTP) in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 87 patients with pancreatic head and neck cancer who underwent LPD or LTP in the Department of General Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical approach, operative time, intraoperative blood loss volume, conversion rate to open surgery, perioperative mortality, re-operative rate, rate of major postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, number of lymph nodes harvested, tumor pathological stage, R 0 resection rate, initiation of postoperative chemotherapy and survival outcomes were recorded. The follow-up period extended until September 2023. Results:Among the 87 patients, 78(89.7%) underwent LPD and 9(10.3%) underwent LTP. PV-SMV vascular resection and reconstruction was performed in 16 cases (18.4%), and 11 cases totally underwent laparoscopy. Five cases (5.7%) required conversion to open surgery. The mean operative time was 279.8±74.0 minutes, and the mean intraoperative blood loss volume was 520.1±743.2 ml. The overall length of hospital stay was 15.9±6.3 days, with a mean postoperative hospital stay of 11.5±6.0 days. The rate of major postoperative complications was 19.5%, including 4 cases (4.6%) of postoperative bile leakage, 6 cases (6.9%) of postoperative gastric emptying disorders, and 3 cases (3.4%) of postoperative bleeding. There was one case (1.1%) with secondary surgery and one case (1.1%) with perioperative death. Among LPD patients, 5 cases (6.4%) had postoperative grade B or higher pancreatic fistula. Advanced age (≥70 years) did not increase the incidence of perioperative complications. All patients achieved R 0 resection. The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 25.9±11.4. The median time to initiation of postoperative chemotherapy was 2.13±1.43 months. The median overall survival was 16 months. Conclusions:In a high-volume center for pancreatic diseases, LPD and LTP are safe and feasible for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, which could achieve satisfactory anti-tumor efficacy and improve patients' prognosis.
