Objective To observe the hemodynamic changes of acute after cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT) interruption in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF),and explore the benefit of hemodynamic of the reverse remodeling and non-reverse remodeling CHF patients during CRT.Methods 46 CHF patients who had undergone implantation of CRT device for more than 6 months were enrolled in the study.The reverse remodeling and non-reverse remodeling were identified by reduction of LV end-systolic volumes ≥ 15%.The two groups underwent echocardiography,and mitral regurgitation area (MRA),velocity time integral of aortic valve (VTI-AV),velocity time integral of mitral valve(VTI-MV),maximum rising rate of left intra-ventricular pressure(+ dp/dtmax),LVFT/T were measured in on and off mode of CRT.Hemodynamic indicators of two groups were compared in CRT on and off modes.The rate of changes of above mentioned parameters ΔMRA,ΔVTI-AV,ΔVTI-MV,Δdp/dt and ΔLVFT/T were calculated and compared in the two groups.Results MRA had significant increasing in both group after 10 minutes intereuption of CRT (P <0.01).Two groups had significant worsening of VTI-AV,VTI-AV,+ dp/dtmax and LVFT/T after 10 minutes interruption of CRT as compared to CRT-on mode (P <0.05).ΔMRA,ΔVTI-MV,Δdp/dt of reverse remodeling group significantly higher than non-reverse remodeling group(P <0.05).But there was no difference in ΔVTI-AV and ΔLVFT/T(P >0.05).Conclusions The hemodynamic index become worsening after 10 minutes interruption of CRT in both group of medium-and long-term CRT patients especially in reverse remodeling group,suggesting that patients of both groups have obtained hemodynamic benefits continuously during CRT.Reverse remodeling group get more benefits than non reverse remodeling group.

Objective To analyze the heterogeneities of hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) reverse transcriptase domain (RT) gene mutations related to nucleos (t)ide analogues (NAs) resistance.Methods Blood samples from 2765 chronic hepatitis B patients with virological breakthrough or poor drug response treated in Ningbo No .2 Hospital and Ningbo Fourth Hospital from April 2011 to March 2018 were collected . According to the medication status , it was divided into LAM monotherapy group ( n =603 ) , LdT monotherapy group (n=147), ADV monotherapy group (n=68), ETV monotherapy group (n=10) and the sequential or combined drug resistance of NAs group (n=365).The resistance mutation sites and drug resistance patterns (pathways) of each group were analyzed .The SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results Among 2765 serum samples, the NAs-related HBV-RT resistance mutations were detected in 1193 cases with an overall mutation rate of 43.15%.The mutation rate of LAM monoclonal resistance group was 62.62% (603/963) with 19 mutation types, the most common single point mutation was rtM204I/V (40.30%, 243/603).The mutation rate of LdT monoclonal resistance group was 45.51%(147/323), and there were 3 mutation types, with the single point mutation rtM204I/V being the most common (59.86%, 88/147).The mutation rate of the ADV monoclonal resistance group was 17.80%(68/382), mainly rtA181T single point mutation (64.71%, 44/68).The mutation rate of the ETV monoclonal resistance group was 4.06%(10/246), and the single point mutation of rtT184A/G/S/I/L/F was the most common one (80.00%, 8/10).The mutation rate of the sequential or combination therapy group was 41.91% (365/871), among which the mutation rate of the LAM/LdT poor response or the resistance with the sequential ADV group was 63.39%(142/224), and the most single mutation point was rtA181V/T ( 35.21%, 50/142 );the mutation rate of LAM/LdT poor response or drug-resistant with combined ADV group was 42.19% (54/128), and the most common mutation point was rtA181V/T (46.30%, 25/54);the mutation rate of LAM/LdT with poor response or resistance after sequential ETV 1.0 mg was 44.66%(117/262), and the most common mutation point was rtL180M+M204I/V+S202G/I (31.62%, 37/117);the LAM/LdT poor response or the drug-resistant ETV combined with ADV group had a mutation rate of 7.14%(5/70), all of which were multi-site mutations;the mutation rate of poor response to ADV or resistant with sequential ETV 0.5 mg group was 28.14%(47/167), all of which were multi-site mutations.Secondary ( compensation ) sites such as rtV173L, rtL180M, and rtV214A, and single-point mutations such as rtV207I/L/G, rtS213Tand rtN238T, which were not fully defined , were detected.The resistance patterns ( pathways ) of NAs monotherapy were relatively simple , and the resistance patterns ( pathways ) of NAs experienced patients ( sequential or combined treatment group ) were complex and diverse, and multiple resistance patterns (pathways) existed, along with NAs increasing in species.Non-first-line NAs-related resistance patterns ( pathways ) showed an overall downward trend sand ETV-related drug-resistant mutation showed an overall upward trend .Conclusion The NAs-related HBV resistance mutation sites ( patterns ) are complex and diverse , especially multi-site mutations , refractory drug resistance mutations, multidrug resistance mutations and cross-resistance mutations.Therefore, the optimization of antiviral treatment strategies and drug resistance management concepts need to be continuously updated .

Objective To observe the value of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)post-processing technologies for diagnosing otosclerosis.Methods Clinical data and original axial plain MSCT of 47 patients with otosclerosis(92 ears)and 65 patients with non-otosclerosis hearing impairment(79 ears)were retrospectively enrolled.MSCT post-processing images,including multi-planar reformation(MPR)of stapes and cochleas and curved planar reformation(CPR)of ossicular chains were obtained.The diagnostic value of original MSCT images alone and raw data of MSCT combing with post-processing images for diagnosing otosclerosis were compared.Results Otosclerosis was correctly diagnosed in 66 ears according to original MSCT images alone,but in 89 ears combined with MSCT post-processing images.The sensitivity of original MSCT images alone and combined with MSCT post-processing images was 71.74%and 96.74%,respectively,and the diagnostic accuracy was 81.29%and 96.49%,respectively,those of the latter were both higher than of the former(both P<0.05),which had specificities being not significantly different(92.41%vs.96.20%,P>0.05).Conclusion Combining with post-processing technologies could increase the sensitivity and accuracy of MSCT for diagnosing otosclerosis.
