Objectives To explore the clinical symptoms, therapy and prognosis of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) in children. Methods Clinical data of 22 children with TIC from July 2007 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results TIC was mostly seen in male infants and 81.82%of TIC was caused by atrial arrhythmias. The clinical symptom relieved after arrhythmia and ventricular rates were under control with average effective treatment time of (14.00 ± 8.20) days. Ten patients had tachycardia recurrence, 7 of them had atrial arrhythmia and their clinical symptoms were improved after treatment;while 3 of them showed longer time of therapy with average treatment time of (19.50±8.40) days (P<0.05). Five children underwent radiofrequency ablation before school age and got good therapeutic effect. The post-treatment echocardiographic parameters showed cardiac function of TIC children was significantly improved after treatment, including left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index, left ventricular end-systolic diameter index, left ventricular ejection fraction and shortening score (all P<0.05). Conclusions Childhood TIC is a reversible myocardial dysfunction and its prognosis is good. TIC can be induced by various types of tachyarrhythmias and normally by atrial arrhythmia. The preferred treatment of TIC is administration of antiarrhythmic drugs but radiofrequency ablation is needed to ventricular arrhythmias induced TIC.

Objective To investigate the association between high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) load and the expression of nestin in different cervical lesions.Methods The hybridization capture Ⅱ (HC-Ⅱ) assay was used to test the HR-HPV load from 60 patients who were the first time to do the cervical cancer screening in Xiangya Hospital,and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of nestin in those biopsy tissue samples.Results (1) The lgHPV level (logarithm of HR-HPV load) in the high level lesion group was higher than the low level one (P ＜0.05),and HR-HPV load was positively associated with the degree of cervical lesions (rs =0.269,P =0.037).(2) The expression of nestin in A group was weaker than groups B and C (H =7.271,22.843,P ＜0.01),and the expression of nestin in C group was stronger than B group (H =7.270,P ＜0.01),and the expression of nestin was positively associated with the degree of cervical lesion (rs =0.646,P =0.000).(3) The HR-HPV load was positively associated with the expression of nestin (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The HR-HPV load and the expression of nestin are closely related to the cervical lesions,and the joint detection has a referential value for early prevention of cervical lesions and prediction of progress of cervical precancerous lesion.It might guide the early prevention and treatment of cervical cancers.
