RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects of limb ischemic preconditioning on intestinal injury and brain injury induced by hepatic ischemia?reperfusion(I∕R)in rats. Methods Healthy male Wistar rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 3 groups(n=16 each)using a random number table: sham operation group(Sham group), hepatic I∕R group(I∕R group)and limb ischemic preconditioning group(LIP group). In LIP group, the lower limb blood flow was blocked for 10 min with an elastic rubber tourniquet at the right groin followed by 30?min reperfusion through releasing the tourni?quet. Hepatic I∕R injury was induced by occlusion of the portal vein, hepatic artery and common bile duct for 30 min followed by reperfusion in I∕R and LIP groups. Eight rats in each group were selected at 6 h of reperfusion and samples from the cardiac apex were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor?alpha(TNF?α)and interleukin?10(IL?10)by radioimmunoassay. Then the rats were sacrificed and the small intestine tissues and brain tissues were removed. Intestinal damage was as?sessed and scored according to Chiu. The activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO)in intestinal mucosa was de?tected by colorimetric method. The pathological changes of brain tissues were examined under a light micro?scope. The ultrastructure of brain tissues was observed under an electron microscope. Eight rats in each group were randomly selected at 6 h of reperfusion, and Evans blue(EB)2 mg∕kg was injected through the caudal vein over 1 min. Then the rats were sacrificed, brain tissues were removed for measurement of EB content, and the brain water content was calculated. Results Compared with Sham group, Chiu′s score and MPO activity in intestinal tissues were significantly increased, the brain water content and EB content were increased, and the concentrations of TNF?α and IL?10 in plasma were increased in I∕R group and LIP group(P <0.05). Compared with I∕R group, Chiu′s score and MPO activity in intestinal tissues were significantly decreased, the brain water content and EB content were decreased, and plasma IL?10 concentrations were increased(P <0.05), no significant change was found in plasma TNF?α concentra?tions(P>0.05), and the pathological changes of brain tissues were significantly attenuated in LIP group. Conclusion Limb ischemic preconditioning can attenuate intestinal injury and brain injury induced by he?patic I∕R, and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting systemic inflammatory responses of rats.
RESUMO
Objective@#The study assessed the clinical characteristics and response to acute intravenous antiarrhythmic drug therapy of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children.@*Methods@#This was a multicenter prospective descriptive study including 257 children from First Hospital of Tsinghua University, Peking University First Hospital, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics and Beijing Anzhen Hospital who received intravenous antiarrhythmic drug therapy for SVT from July 2014 to February 2017. The clinical and tachycardia features, response to intravenous antiarrhythmic drug therapy of these children were characterized. Statistical analyses were performed using t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test and H test.@*Results@#The onset of SVT occurred at any age with a distribution with positive skewness, 57.6% (n=148) children<1 year, 17.5% (n=45) children1~<3 years, 10.5% (n=27) children 3~<6 years and 14.4% (n=37) children ≥ 6 years of age. The percentages of SVT types were 49.4% (n=127) for atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT), 4.3% (n=11) for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT), 26.8% (n=69) for unclassified paroxysmal SVT and 19.5% (n=50) for atrial tachycardia (AT), respectively. Tachycardia-induced cardionyopathy (TIC) secondary to SVT developed in 30 of 225 (13.3%). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the 27 children attacked by TIC returned to normal after successful control of SVT (41.1%±6.3% vs. 60.3%±9.2%, t=-10.397, P=0.000). Complete termination of SVT by antiarrhythmic drugs was achieved in 164 of 257 (63.8%), partial termination rate was 18.7% (48 of 257) and failure to terminate rate was 17.5% (45 of 257). Propafenone (complete cardioversion in 98 (73.1%) of 134) and amiodarone (complete cardioversion in 23 (76.7%) of 30) showed better efficacy for SVT termination than adenosine (complete cardioversion in 26 (44.1%) 59) (χ2=20.524, P=0.000). Paroxysmal SVT had a higher termination rate on pharmacological therapy than AT (67.1% vs. 50.0%, χ2=6.337, P=0.042). Patients of different age groups had significantly different response to antiarrhythmic therapy (χ2=13.904, P=0.031). Children<1 year of age showed the least response to antiarrhythmic drug therapy with complete termination in 51 (55.4%) of 92. Adverse effects occurred in 9 patients (3.5%): Four patients had severe hypotensive shock using propafenone (n=3) and adenosine (n=1), and 3 patients had sinus arrest using adenosine.@*Conclusion@#Most (57.6%) children with SVT have their first clinical episode within 1 year of age, and AVRT is the most common type. TIC occurs in 13.3% of children with SVT. Intravenous antiarrhythmic drug therapy has a 63.8% complete termination rate for children with SVT and incidence of adverse effects is 3.5%. Propafenone and amiodarone are more effective for SVT termination in children than adenosine. Serious adverse effects may occur when using propafenone.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the clinical features and evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) guided by 3D electronic-anatomy mapping system (CARTO3 System) in children with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).@*Methods@#This was a retrospective case-controlled study. Data were collected from 95 children with AVNRT who underwent RFCA using CARTO3 System in the first hospital of Tsinghua University from January 2014 to December 2017. The onset age, characteristic of electrophysiology and anatomy feature of Koch triangle were analyzed. The efficacy and safety of ablation and X-ray fluoroscopy were compared with control 135 children with AVNRT who underwent RFCA without using CARTO3 System. The t test or the chi-square test was used for group comparison. Linear regression equation was established for correlation analysis.@*Results@#The onset age of the 95 children (male 55, female 40; the average age (8.0±3.6) years) with AVNRT was (0.2-17.0) years and 23(24.2%) children were less than 3 years old. Electrophysiologic study showed that 84.2% (80 cases) was AVNRT-slow fast (SF), 11.6% (11 cases) AVNRT-slowslow and 4.2%(4 cases) AVNRT-fast slow. The phenomena of atrio-Hisian(AH) jump occurred in 65.3% and the interval of AH jump was (73.0±10.6) ms. The height of Koch triangle (CSo-His) was (22.3±5.8) mm and related with the weight of children (Y=0.171X+ 16.660, r2=0.224, P<0.001).The distance between the successful ablation target and the lowest point of His zone (ABL-His) was (11.7±2.6) mm. And there was no relation with the body weight(Y=-0.005X + 11.650, r2=0.001, P=0.780) and CSo-His (Y=0.072X+9.914, r2=0.030, P=0.171). The acute success rate was 97.9% (93/95) and recurrent rate was 5.4% (5/93) during follow-up. No obvious complication was reported. Compared with control group, the fluoroscopy time ((3.3±2.5) vs. (10.7±5.8) min, t=13.190, P<0.05), radiation dose ((5.4±4.9) vs. (15.5±6.3) mGy, t=13.660, P<0.05), and dose area product (514±445) vs. (2 478±415) mGy·cm2, t=33.850, P<0.05) were decreased significantly.@*Conclusions@#AVNRT-SF was the most common type of AVNRT. AVNRT incidence in infant and toddlers is lower than that in elder children. CSo-His is correlated with the body weight. ABL-His is relatively fixed. There is no correlation between ABL-His and the body weight and also no correlation between ABL-His and CSo-His. RFCA of AVNRT in children using the CARTO3 system is safe, effective and minimizes X-ray fluoroscopy.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical effect of ear point embedding on plasma and effect site concentrations of propofol-remifentanil in elderly patients who underwent abdominal external hernia surgery at the time of consciousness and pain disappearing by target-controlled infusion (TCI) and bispectral index (BIS).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty patients who underwent elective abdominal hernia surgery were randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group, 25 cases in each one. In the observation group, 30 minutes before anesthesia induction, Fugugou (Extra), Gan (CO), Pizhixia (AT), and Shenmen (TF) were embedded by auricular needles until the end of surgery, 10 times of counter press each point. In the control group, the same amount of auricular tape was applied until the end of surgery at the same points without stimulation 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. Patients in the two groups were given total intravenous anesthesia, and BIS was monitored by BIS anesthesia depth monitor. Propofol was infused by TCI at a beginning concentration of 1.5μg/L and increased by 0.3μg/L every 30s until the patients lost their consciousness. After that, remifentanil was infused by TCI at a beginning concentration of 2.0μg/L and increased by 0.3μg/L every 30s until the patients had no body reaction to pain stimulation (orbital reflex). Indices were recorded, including mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and the BIS values, at the time of T(entering into the operation room), T(losing consciousness) and T(pain relief), the plasma and effect site concentrations of propofol at T, the plasma and effect site concentrations of remifentanil at T. After surgery we recorded the total amounts of propofol and remifentanil, surgery time and anesthesia time.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At Tand T, MAP and HR of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (<0.05,<0.01). At T, the plasma and effect site concentrations of propofol in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (<0.05,<0.01). At T, the plasma and effect site concentrations of remifentanil in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (<0.05,<0.01). There was no significant difference in BIS values at Tand Tbetween the two groups (both>0.05). There was no significant difference in operation time and anesthesia time between the two groups (both>0.05). The total amount of remifentanil in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (<0.01). There was no significant difference in the total amount of propofol between the two groups (>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ear points embedding combined with propofol-remifentanil TCI could reduce the plasma and effect site concentrations of propofol and remifentanil and the total amount of remifentanil in elderly patients with extra-abdominal hernia surgery, and had the effect of assisting sedation and analgesia.</p>

RESUMO
Objective@#This study aimed to investigate the correlation between supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy(TIC) in children and assess the risk factors for the development of TIC.@*Method@#One hundred and eighty-three patients were recruited in four hospitals of Beijing diagnosed as SVT were divided into two groups depending on whether or not complicated with TIC. The age, gender, tachycardia type, ventricular rate during tachycardia, frequency of tachycardia episodes and duration of tachycardia were compared between the two groups and risk factors associated with TIC were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using t test, Mann-Whitney U and χ2 test.@*Result@#Totally 183 patients were included in this study (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, PSVT, n=149; atrial tachycardia, AT, n=34). The incidence of TIC was 13.1%. There was significant difference regarding the incidence of TIC between children with AT and children with PSVT (26.5% vs. 10.1%, χ2=6.537, P=0.011). The percentage of AT in patients with TIC was significantly higher than patients without TIC (37.5% vs. 15.7%, χ2=6.537, P=0.011). Patients with TIC had a higher frequency of tachycardia episodes(2.5(1.0-4.8) beats/year vs 4.0(1.0-10.0) beats/year, Z=-2.223, P=0.026)and longer duration of tachycardia(11.0(1.1-36.0) h vs 2.5(1.0-12.0) h, Z=-2.154, P=0.031)compared with patients without TIC. Multivariate predictors of TIC was longer duration of tachycardia (OR=2.041, P=0.028).@*Conclusion@#TIC occurs in 13.1% of children with SVT. The incidence of TIC in children with AT is higher than in children with PSVT. Risk factor for the development of TIC is longer duration of tachycardia.
RESUMO
Objective@#Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) accounts for up to 10%-15% sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the children and young population. This study aimed to assess the current situation and challenges in CPVT clinical diagnosis.@*Method@#A retrospective review included 11 children (7 male patients) at the First Hospital of Tsinghua University clinically diagnosed with CPVT from June 2014 to July 2017. Each patient was evaluated with detailed history, physical examination, resting 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG), 24-h Holter, exercise stress test, Doppler echocardiography and genetic test.@*Result@#During physical activity and/or emotional stress, ten children presented with recurrent syncope and one child presented with palpitation and chest distress. The mean age of symptom onset was 8.4 (4.0-13.7) years with a delayed diagnosis of 2.4 (0.04-5.00) years. Two children had a familial history of syncope or sudden death. Nine children were initially misdiagnosed as complex arrhythmic conditions (n=4), syncope of unknown origin (n=3), and drug-resistant epilepsy (n=2) treated with antiepileptic medication for several years. Bidirectional VT and (or) polymorphic VT were detected using Holter recording or exercise test ECG in all patients. Genetic test revealed CPVT-associated pathologic or possible pathologic mutations in nine patients. All patients were treated with beta-blockers. Six patients were asymptomatic, four patients reported infrequent syncope, and one sudden death occurred during a mean follow-up of 0.97 years.@*Conclusion@#CPVT mainly occurs in children and adolescents with recurrent syncope during physical activities and/or emotional stress. Early diagnosis of CPVT remains challenging due to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Detailed clinical history and exercise stress test improve the early diagnosis and intervention for CPVT patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of maternal limb ischemic preconditioning on the expression of caspase-3 in neurons in brain tissues after reoxygenation in the fetal rats with intrauterine distress.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats at 19 days of gestation were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),limb ischemic preconditioning group (group LIP),fetal rat distress group (group FD),and limb ischemic preconditioning + fetal rat distress group (group LIP+FD).Distress/reoxygenation model was established by clamping the uterine and ovarian arteries and veins with a micro-artery clamp for 15 min followed by removal of the clamp to permit reperfusion.Limb ischemic preconditioning was induced by 3 cycles of occlusion of the lower limb blood flow at the site of the right groin for 5 min with a tourniquet followed by 5 min unclamping.In group LIP+ FD,the uterine and ovarian arteries and veins were clamped,and limb ischemic preconditioning was performed at the same time.Cesarean section was performed on 2 days after the end of treatments in each group,and the fetal rat mortality rate was calculated.The fetal rats alive were sacrificed,and the hippocampi were isolated for determination of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and expression of caspase-3 protein and mRNA (by Western blot and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction,respectively) in hippocampal CA1 region.Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the fetal rat mortality rate and apoptosis index were significantly increased,and the expression of caspase-3 protein and mRNA in hippocampal CA1 region was significantly up-regulated in FD and LIP+FD groups (P<0.05 or 0.0l),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group LIP (P>0.05).Compared with group FD,the fetal rat mortality rate and apoptosis index were significantly decreascd,and the expression of caspase-3 protein and mRNA iu hippocampal CA1 region was significantly down-regulated in group LIP+FD (P<0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion The mechanism by which maternal limb ischemic preconditioning inhibits apoptosis in neurons after reoxygenation is related to down-regulation of the expression of caspase-3 in the fetal rats with intrauterine distress.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the changes in myocardial proteomics in the late phase of limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP) in rats.Methods Twelve pathogen-free adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8-9 weeks,weighing 260-280 g,were randomly assigned into LIP group (n=6) and control group (group C,n=6) using a random number table.Limb ischemia was preceded by 3 cycles of 5-min ischemia which was induced by ligation of the root of the right hindlimb with a rubber band followed by 5-min reperfusion in group LIP.At 24 h after LIP,the tissues were obtained from the left ventricle,and the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification technique and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied to detect the differences in protein expression profiles between the two groups (the difference in expression between the two groups> 1.2 times and P<0.05).The identified differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using the bioinformatics,and some were further verified by Western blot.Results A total of 55 proteins were identified to be differentially expressed,and among the 55 proteins,the expression of 35 proteins was up-regulated,and the expression of 20 proteins was down-regulated.Bioinformatics analysis showed that most of the 55 proteins were organelles,cell membrane or macromolecular compounds,were involved in the process such as metabolism,biological regulation,stress response and signal transduction,and showed functions such as the binding affinity to molecules,catalytic activity,anti-oxidant activity,and modulation of the activity of enzyme.The results verified by Western blot were consistent with those shown by using the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification analysis.Conclusion The late phase of LIP can induce changes in the expression of the 55 proteins involving regulation of energy metabolism,anti-oxidant action,regulation of gene expression,and protein folding and degradation in the myocardium,which may be the mechanism of myocardial protection in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effects of limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP) on the intestinal injury during release of hepatic portal occlusion (RHPO) in rats.Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-7 weeks,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S,n =12),RHPO group (n =39) and LIP+ RHPO group (n =20).Hepatic ischemia/ reperfusion was produced by occluding portal vein and hepatic artery for 30 min followed by 6 h reperfusion according to Pringle's method.LIP was produced by tourniquet occlusion of the right femoral artery and vein for 10 min followed by 24 h reperfusion before hepatic ischemia.The animals were sacrificed at 6 h after hepatic portal occlusion was released and the mucous membrane of small intestine was obtained for microscopic examination and for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,myeloperoxidase (MPO)activity,total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA and protein expression.The degree of damage to intestinal mucous membrane was scored according to Chiu.Results Compared with group S,Chiu's score and levels of MDA and MPO were significantly increased,SOD activity and TAOC were decreased,and ICAM-1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in group RHPO (P < 0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group RHPO,Chiu's score and levels of MDA and MPO were significantly decreased,SOD activity and T-AOC were increased,and ICAM-1 mRNA expression was down-regulated in group LIP + RHPO (P < 0.05).Conclusion LIP can alleviate the intestinal injury during RHPO in rats by enhancing the antioxidant function and down-regulating the expression of ICAM-1.
RESUMO
AIM:To explore the changes of excitatory amino acids and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) in brain undergoing ischemia-reperfusion injury following hepatic portal occlusion (HPO) in vivo.METHODS: The electrolytes and pH of portal vein blood, the content of Glu and Asp in brain, and the expression of NMDAR mRNA were studied with blood-gas analysis, HPLC and semi-quantitative RT-PCR method in two groups(HPO or sham), respectively. Three time points(6 h,12 h and 24h after reperfusion) were included.RESULTS: HPLC measure showed that the content of cortex Glu and Asp in group HPO elevated significantly after reperfusion compared with sham group, the peaks were at 6 h and 24 h Glu:(349?145) ?g?g-1wt,(456?203) ?g?g-1wt vs (238?24) ?g?g-1wt,(225?59) ?g?g-1wt;Asp:(134?50) ?g?g-1wt,(166?50) ?g?g-1wt vs (99?24) ?g?g-1wt,(71?20) ?g?g-1wt.Moreover, semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis discovered that the expression of NMDAR mRNA increased significantly , the subunit NR1 mRNA was higher in reperfusion 6 h and last to 12 h(1.63?0.06 vs 1.18?0.05; 1.73?0.06 vs 1.17?0.03), the peak of NR2B mRNA was in 12 h (1.75?0.04 vs 1.18?0.05) ,but they did not further increase after reperfusion for 24 h.CONCLUSION: HPO increases the content of Glu and Asp and the expression of NMDAR in brain cortex. The Glu-NMDAR pathway plays a role in the mechanism for the brain injury after HPO. The products of IR injury might be the key factor to cause EAAs acumulation in synapse space.
