Objective To evaluate the outcome of AF ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) related tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome. Methods Fifty consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF and prolonged symptomatic sinus pauses on termination of AF referred to our hospital for ablation were evaluated (ABL group). In another 61 patients, paroxysmal AF was treated with anti-arrhythmic drug and a pacemaker was implanted due to AF related tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome. These patients were used as control (PM group). Results A total of 50 patients in the ABL group fulfilled Class I indication for pacemaker implantation at baseline but they actually underwent AF ablation. Re-evaluation at the end of follow-up showed that 47 (94%) patients no longer needed a pacemaker (Class III indication) because of free from AF with no recurrences of pre-syncopal or syncopal events or documented sinus pauses after the last procedure. More patients in the PM group were on AADs (PM 42.6%, ABL 6.0%, P < 0.001) while sinus rhythm maintenance at the end of follow-up was remarkably higher in the ABL group (82.0%vs. 21.3%in PM group, P < 0.001). The total rates of cardiac related re-hospitalization was not significantly different between the two groups, but hospitalizations caused by tachyarrhythmia was significantly higher in the PM group (PM group 14.8%, ABL group 2.0%, P=0.020).The embolic events, heart failure and death rate were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions In patients with paroxysmal AF related tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome, AF ablation seems to be superior to a strategy of pacing plus AAD. Pacemaker implantation can be waived in the majority of patients after a successful ablation.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of plasma lipoprotein associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA2 ) in cere-bral infarction(CI) after transient cerebral ischemia attack (TIA).Methods Plasma Lp-PLA2 level was detected in 112 TIA pa-tients ,and the incidence rate of CI was observed on 7 ,30 ,90 d after TIA.Then the grouping was performed according to the Lp-PLA2 level ,and the predictive value of Lp-PLA2 in the risk of CI occurrence after TIA was evaluated.Results Among 112 patients with TIA ,27 cases (24.1% ) developed CI within 90 d;there were 17 cases(63.0% ) of CI after TIA in the Lp-PLA2 >207 μg/L group ,which were significantly higher than that in the 175-207 μg/L group and <175 μg/L group (P<0.05);moreover the CI occurrence in TIA patients was mainly concentrated within 7 d after onset ;the patients of Lp-PLA2 ≥175μg/L were mainly distrib-uted in the moderate and high risk groups of ABCD2 score system ;in ROC curve of Lp-PLA2 for predicting CI after TIA ,with Lp-PLA2 ≥194 μg/L as the diagnostic critical point ,the sensitivity was 0.730 and specificity was 0.680.Conclusion Lp-PLA2 may be an effective risk predictive indicator of CI occurrence after TIA ,and can improve the adverse outcome of TIA patients.

Objective To understand the level of vitamin A (VA)in children in Beijing city.Methods 292 children aged from 0~14 years old visited the health clinic from November 2012 to March 2013 in Beijing city were surveyed by a question-naire,and medical history,physical examination,a blood sample was collected from each child,and serum VA was measured with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Results ①The mean serum VA concentration for the 292 children was (1.09 ± 0.29)μmol/L.②There were 5.8% (17/292)of children affected with subclinical VAD (SVAD),and 38.0% (107/292)had suspected SVAD (SSVAD).③Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parents were unware of health implications of VA,low VA intake and recurrent respiratory infection were associated with SVAD or SSVAD.Conclusion Low VA status remains a nutritional problem in children in Beij ing city.Multiple factors need to be considered together for them,such as parents were unware of health implications of VA,low VA intake and re-current respiratory infection.

Objective To understand the impairment and compensation mechanism of brain function in pa-tients with non-fluent aphasia after ischemic stroke. The fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) method was used to analyze the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in the resting state between the aphasia patients and the normal controls. Methods The scans of the resting state of fMRI were performed in 17 aphasia patients and 19 age-, education-, and sex-matched healthy control subjects. The scan sequence was single-shot echo planar image,DPARSF software was used to analyze fALFF data of the aphasia patients and the healthy controls. Results Compared to the control group, the value in right superior temporal gurus, inferior parietal lob-ule, frontal lobe cortex, and postcentral gurus were significantly increased in the aphasia group. The fALFF in bilat-eral cerebellum and right thalamus were also decreased in the aphasia group. Conclusions The fALFF values in some brain region in the aphasia group were abnormal in the resting state , indicating a few pathological change of brain function in patients with non-fluent aphasia after ischemic stroke.

Objective:To investigate whether adjuvant chemotherapy could be beneficial for patients with pT1N1M0 (stage ⅠB) gastric cancer.Methods:From Jan 2010 to Dec 2016, 185 patients with pT1N1M0 gastric cancer who were surgically resected at Henan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into chemotherapy group ( n=100) and non chemotherapy group ( n=85). Results:For disease-free survival (DFS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that age, examined lymph nodes, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DFS (all P<0.05); multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.160-0.827, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=4.117, 95% CI: 1.796-9.436, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.530, 95% CI: 1.932-10.622, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for DFS. For disease-specific survival (DSS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that lymph node resection, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DSS; multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.344, 95% CI: 0.144-0.822, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=5.113, 95% CI: 2.029-12.887, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.694, 95% CI: 1.854-11.888, P=0.001)were independent risk factors for DSS. According to examined lymph nodes and vascular invasion , pT1N1M0 patients were divided into three risk categories (high, medium and low). DFS and DSS were significantly different among the three risk groups (all P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion:pT1N1M0 gastric cancer patients are expected to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with less than 16 lymph nodes and vascular invasion may be particularly suitable for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To construct a chimeric infectious clone of the fatal virulent strain SDLY 107, containing the gene fragments encoding 2A and 3B proteins of the mild virulent strain SDLY 1, and to establish a reverse genetic system platform for further investigation on virulence of enterovirus 71 strains. Methods The overlap PCR analysis was performed to obtain the gene fragments encoding 2A and 3B pro-teins of the mild virulent strain SDLY 1.The obtained gene fragments were digested and then cloned into a plasmid pMD19-T containing the full-length gene of SDLY 107 strain by using gene replacement strategy. The recombinant RNA was transfected into Vero cells for the preparation of recombinant virus particles.Sev-eral assays including the PCR, indirect immunofluorescence ( IFA) , Western blot and sequencing were per-formed for virus identification.Virus titers were measured by 50%cell culture infective dose ( CCID50 ) and plaque assay.Results The infectious clones of SDLY 107-2A-1 and SDLY 107-3B-1 chimeric virus strains were constructed successfully.Typical cytopathic effect was observed in Vero cells after viral transfection. Identification of the rescued viruses by PCR, IFA, Western blot and sequencing further confirmed the suc-cessful construction of infectious virus strains.The virus titers of SDLY 107-2A-1 and SDLY 107-3B-1 strains detected by CCID50 and plaque assay were 1.25 ×105 PFU/ml and 0.7 ×105 PFU/ml, respectively. Conclusion The chimeric viruses SDLY 107-2A-1 and SDLY 107-3B-1 were rescued successfully, causing cytopathic effects similar to those by using the parental virus strain SDLY 107.This study might pave the way for further investigation on in vitro and in vivo virulence of enterovirus 71 strains.

Objective To provide the practical experience of association of liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy(ALPPS) procedure in portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVT) cases,and to explore its value in PVTT therapy.Methods Three cases of ALPPS were applied to PVTT in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of PLA General Hospital from 2015 to 2016.The patients data were retrieved and analyzed retrospectively,including the basic information,preoperative PVTT classification,preoperative Child-Pugh classification,ICG test results,future liver remnant (FLR),FLR growth rate between 2 phase operation,operation time,bleeding volume,postoperative complications,postoperative survival etc.We discussed the detail technology and discuss the surgical procedure combine our experience and the published papers.Results ALPPS was performed successfully in all 3 patients.According to the Cheng's Classification of PVTT,they were classified as type Ⅱ,1 case and Ⅲ type,2 cases.Preoperative liver function was Child-Pugh A grade,average ICG R15 was 7.3％ (4.2％-11.0％),and average FLR was 387 ml (333-484 ml).The mean time interval between 2 phases surgery was 24.7 days (9-50 days) and the average FLR growth rate was 50.3％ (24.4％-82.3％).Morbidity of Clavien-Dindo Ⅲ or more was recorded in 1 case,but no mortality occurred.During follow-up period,2 patients were treated with TACE for tumor recurrence.All patients survived with acceptable life quality till now.The portal vein tumor thrombosis necrosis was observed in all 3 specimens.Conclusions ALPPS is a valuable surgery for effective control of tumor thrombus and radical resection rate in well selected PVVT type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients.It is expected to improve the therapeutic effect in combination with TACE and other treatment methods.

Objective To investigate the effect of thyroxine replacement therapy with residual subclinical hypothyroidism on the success rate of catheter ablation in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods Among the consecutive patients with AF who underwent a first AF ablation in our center between 2009 and 2012,we identified 56 patients(41 paroxysmal AF,15 persistent AF)with subclinical clinical hypothyroidism after receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy as study group.The control group consisted of 56 patients with euthyroidism and no history of thyroid dysfunction.All patients underwent catheter ablation.Results At the end of follow up,37.5%(21/56)patients were AF free after the first procedure in the study group,in comparison to 64.3%(36/56)in control group(χ2=8.655,P=0.003).Last procedure was performed in 27 patients of study group and in 15 patients of control group.After the last performed ablation,62.5%(35/56)study group patients and 80.4%(45/56)controls group patients had no recurrence(χ2=4.653,P=0.031).The major complications rate did not differ between two groups(P=0.642).Conclusions Thyroid hormone replacement therapy with residual subclinical hypothyroidism reduces catheter ablation success rate in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.
