ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on learning and memory abilities of amygdala electrical kindling-induced epilepsy in rats and its mechanism. MethodMale SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, intervention group (model+25 mg·kg-1 EGCG), and EGCG group (25 mg·kg-1 EGCG). Rats in the EGCG group were only given EGCG intraperitoneal injection, those in the normal group were only given electrode implantation, and those in the other experimental groups were given amygdala electrical kindling stimulation to establish a chronic kindling epilepsy model. EGCG was injected intraperitoneally daily before electrical stimulation. Twenty-four hours after the last electrical stimulation, the escape latency and percentage of target quadrant were recorded by the Morris water maze. Twenty-four hours after the behavioral test, rats in each group were sacrificed by decapitation. The number of hippocampal neurons was observed by Nissl staining. The thickness of postsynaptic density in the hippocampus, synaptic cleft, length of active zone and the curvature of synaptic interface were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The expressions of synapse-related proteins synaptotagmin (Syt), postsynaptic density-95 (PSD-95) and Kalirin-7 in the hippocampus were examined by Western blot. ResultCompared with those in the normal group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the target quadrant ratio was significantly decreased in the model group (P<0.05). The number of hippocampus neurons decreased significantly (P<0.01). The synaptic cleft of the hippocampus was widened significantly, and the length of active zone and the thickness of postsynaptic density were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expressions of synapse-related proteins Syt, PSD-95 and Kalirin-7 in the hippocampus were significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, the escape latency was significantly shortened and the percentage of target quadrant was significantly increased in the intervention group (P<0.05, P<0,01). The number of hippocampal neurons significantly increased (P<0.01). The synaptic cleft of the hippocampus was significantly shortened, and the length of active zone and postsynaptic density were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expressions of synaptic related proteins Syt, PSD-95 and Kalirin-7 were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionEGCG can effectively improve cognitive dysfunction after epilepsy. Its protective effect may be achieved by protecting the ultrastructure of hippocampal synapses and regulating the expressions of synapse-related proteins Syt, PSD-95 and Kalirin-7.

To investigate the clinical features and influencing factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) early after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods The clinical data of 339 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in our hospital from January 2012 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 267 males and 72 females with an average age of 37-83 (58.03±8.90) years. The clinical features and influencing factors for new-onset AF after surgery were investigated. Results There were 234 patients of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), with 36 (15.4%) new-onset AF patients after operation, among whom 16.1% were males and 12.5% were females. There were 105 patients of on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), with 39 (37.1%) new-onset AF patients, among whom 40.7% were males and 25.0% were females. The incidence was higher after the CABG surgery than that after the OPCABG surgery (37.1% vs. 15.4%, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence rate between males and females (P>0.05). The incidence of new-onset AF after surgery was higher in ≥60 years patients for both operations (18.9% and 45.8%), which was significantly higher than that in <45 years patients (P<0.05). For both operations, the incidence of new-onset AF after surgery was high on the second day (24-48 h) after surgery, and most of the AF lasted for 1 day (P<0.05). The hypertension (OR=4.983, P=0.036), frequent premature atrial contraction or atrial tachycardia (OR=17.682, P=0.002), postoperative creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CKMB) (OR=0.152, P=0.042), left anterior and posterior diameters (OR=17.614, P<0.001) and preoperative ejection fraction (OR=7.094, P=0.011) were influencing factors for new-onset AF after OPCABG. Diabetes (OR=11.631, P=0.020), other cardiac malformations (OR=29.023, P=0.002), frequent premature ventricular contraction or ventricular tachycardia (OR=0.047, P=0.001), and postoperative CKMB (OR=3.672, P=0.040) were influencing factors for new-onset AF after CABG. Conclusion The incidence of new-onset AF after CABG is higher than that after OPCABG, and it increases with age increasing. There is no difference in the incidence between males and females. The influencing factors for the two operations are different.
