The aim of study was to investigate the extent of myocardial injury incurred by creation of continuous RF current induced linear ablation lesions (LL; ablation of atrial fibrillation, right atrial procedure) in comparison to focal RF lesions (FL; AV node reentry tachycardia, WPW tachycardia). In 23 patients with LL (age 51.3 +/- 11.2 years, 18 men, 5 women) and in 16 patients with FL (age 53.9 +/- 5.1 years, 8 men and 8 women), levels of creatine kinase (CK), myoglobin (MG), CKMB mass (CKMB M), CKMB activity (CKMB A), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were determined before and 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours after ablation. CKMB A was normal in 87% in LL and 100% in FL (< 6% of CK) with median maximum CK values of 214 (45-1583) U/L in LL and 36 (29-212) U/L in FL. Peak values of all parameters were significantly higher in LL than in FL. The sensitivity of cTnT was 50% in FL and 100% in LL. In FL MG, total CK, and CKMB M were abnormal in only 12.5% of cases while in LL MG and CKMB M were pathological in 100% and total CK was abnormal in 91.3% of patients. The amount of energy and number of RF applications correlated with cTnT, MG, and CKMB M (P = 0.01). In conclusion, (1) long linear RF current lesions for ablation of atrial fibrillation are associated with significantly greater myocardial injury than focal ablations. (2) In focal lesions only cTnT provided a sensitivity of 50% in the detection of myocardial injury while in linear lesions cTnT, CKMBM, and CKMB M seemed suitable for detection of RF current induced myocardial damage with 100% sensitivity. All biochemical parameters do not differentiate patients with coronary ischemia up to 48 hours after an ablation. (3) Further investigations are necessary to determine if RF current linear lesions lead to impaired atrial contractility in cases of extensive tissue damage. 相似文献

The epidemiology and antibiotic sensitivity of Shigella species is changing worldwide. The present study surveyed the changing clinical and epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility of Shigella gastroenteritis in Hacettepe University Ihsan Dogramaci Children's Hospital Diarrhoea Training and Treatment Unit between 1987 and 1994. Among 19 812 diarrheal admissions, 618 (3.2%) patient files with Shigella gastroenteritis were reviewed retrospectively. Shigella soneii has been the commonest isolate (64%) since 1987 followed by S. flexineri (30%), S. boydii (5%) and S. dysenteriae (1%), the latter having not been isolated since 1990. The isolate rate of S. sonnei has increased whereas the isolation rate of S. flexineri has decreased concomitantly since 1987 (r = ?0.94; P< 0.001). The majority of cases (365/618, 59%) were between 1 and 5 years of age. On admission bloody diarrhea was present in 36%, seizures in 3% and mild-moderate dehydration in 11% of cases. No case had severe dehydration. Only six patients (1%) were hospitalized. No deaths were recorded. The resistance rate for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole has increased from 27% in 1990 to 66% in 1994 (P < 0.05) while the resistance rate for ampicillin has decreased from 81% in 1987 to 32% in 1993 (P< 0.001). Shigella flexineri was found to have higher resistance rates to ampicillin, sulbactam-ampicillin, chloramphenicol and gentamicin than S. sonnei. Changing Shigella sp. over the years may be the reason for the mild course of Shigella gastroenteritis. Further regional epidemiological studies are necessary to develop more appropriate management guidelines, especially in developing countries. 相似文献

Essential oils of the resins of Pinus brutia and Pinus pinea were evaluated for their biological potential. Essential oils were characterized using GC-MS and GC/FID. In vitro antimicrobial, phytotoxic, antioxidant, and insecticidal activities were carried out using the direct contact and the fumigant assays, respectively. The chemical profile of the essential oils of the resins ofP pinea and P brutia included mainly a-pinene (21.39% and 25.40%), β-pinene (9.68% and 9.69%), and caryophyllene (9.12% and 4.81%). The essential oils of P pinea and P brutia exerted notable antimicrobial activities on Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus subtilis, insecticidal activities on Ephestia kuehniella eggs, phytotoxic activities on Lactuca sativa, Lepidium sativum, and Portulaca oleracea, as well as antioxidant potential. Indications of the biological activities of the essential oils suggest their use in the formulation of ecofriendly and biocompatible pharmaceuticals. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The dietary flavonoid apigenin (Api) has been demonstrated to exert multiple beneficial effects upon the vascular endothelium. The aim of this study was to examine whether Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (K(Ca)) are involved in endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production and antiangiogenic effects. METHODS: Endothelial NO generation was monitored using a cyclic guanosine monophosphate radioimmunoassay. K(Ca) activity and changes of the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration [Ca(2+)](i) were analyzed using the fluorescent dyes bis-barbituric acid oxonol, potassium-binding benzofuran isophthalate, and fluo-3. The endothelial angiogenic parameters measured were cell proliferation, [(3)H]-thymidine incorporation, and cell migration (scratch assay). Akt phosphorylation was examined using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Api caused a concentration-dependent increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels, with a maximum effect at a concentration of 1 mum. Api-induced hyperpolarization was blocked by the small and large conductance K(Ca) inhibitors apamin and iberiotoxin, respectively. Furthermore, apamin and iberiotoxin blocked the late, long-lasting plateau phase of the Api-induced biphasic increase of [Ca(2+)](i). Inhibition of Ca(2+) signaling and the K(Ca) blockade both blocked NO production. Prevention of all three (NO, Ca(2+), and K(Ca) signaling) reversed the antiangiogenic effects of Api under both basal and basic fibroblast growth factor-induced culture conditions. Basic fibroblast growth factor-induced Akt phosphorylation was also reduced by Api. CONCLUSIONS: Based on our experimental results we propose the following signaling cascade for the effects of Api on endothelial cell signaling. Api activates small and large conductance K(Ca), leading to a hyperpolarization that is followed by a Ca(2+) influx. The increase of [Ca(2+)](i) is responsible for an increased NO production that mediates the antiangiogenic effects of Api via Akt dephosphorylation. 相似文献

ERDOGAN, A., et al .: Microwave, Irrigated, Pulsed, or Conventional Radiofrequency Energy Source: Which Energy Source for Which Catheter Ablation? The aim of the study was to compare the diameter of endomyocardial lesions induced with the delivery of microwave, cooled, or pulsed energy versus conventional RF energy. In vitro tests were performed in fresh endomyocardial preparations of pig hearts in a 10-L bath of NaCl 0.9% solution at 37°C and constant 1.5 L/min flow. Ablation 7 Fr catheters with 4-mm tip electrodes were used, except for the delivery of microwave energy. Energy delivery time was set to 60 s/50 W in all experiments. Cooled energy delivery was performed with a closed irrigation catheter. Pulsed energy delivery was performed using a special controller with a duty-cycle of 5 ms. Microwave energy was delivered with a 2.5-GHz generator and 10-mm antenna. Electrode temperature and impedance were measured simultaneously. After ablation, lesion length, width, and depth were measured with microcalipers, and volume calculated by a formula for ellipsoid bodies. Each energy delivery mode was tested in ten experiments. The deepest lesions were created with cooled energy delivery, and the largest volume by microwave energy delivery. Pulsed RF produced significantly deeper lesions than conventional RF energy delivery. Cooled or pulsed RF energy delivery created deeper transmural lesions than conventional RF. To create linear lesions at anatomically complex sites (isthmus), microwave energy seemed superior by rapidly creating deep and long lesions. (PACE 2003; 26:[Pt. II]:504–506) 相似文献

Meningioma is a common neoplasm that constitutes almost 30% of all primary central nervous system tumors and is associated with inconsistent clinical outcomes. The extracellular matrix proteins play a crucial role in meningioma cell biology and are important in tumor cell invasion and in progression to malignancy. SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine) (osteonectin) is a matricellular glycoprotein that regulates cell function by interacting with different extracellular matrix proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of SPARC with proliferation index, p53 reactivity in WHO grade 1 (benign), grade 2 (atypical) and grade 3 (anaplastic) meningiomas and correlate with clinical features of the patients, including location of the tumor, recurrence of the tumor and survival of patients. We studied 111 meningiomas, 69 being benign, 34 being atypical and eight being anaplastic meningiomas of various histological types. Using immunohistochemical analysis, we evaluated the expression of SPARC, Ki‐67 (MIB‐1) and p53 in meningiomas. Immunohistochemical scores of SPARC were determined as the sum of frequency (0–3) and intensity (0–3) of immunolabeling of the tumor cells. A high immunohistochemical score (4–6) for SPARC was more frequent in atypical and in anaplastic meningiomas than in benign meningiomas (p < 0.01). MIB‐1 proliferation index showed significant association between tumor grades in meningiomas (p < 0.01). At the end of a follow‐up period of 47.53 ± 25.04 months, 30 tumors recurred. A high SPARC expression was significantly associated with tumor recurrence (p = 0.02). The immunoreactivity of p53 protein and MIB‐1 score were significantly higher in recurrent meningiomas than in non‐recurrent meningiomas. The cumulative survival of patients with high SPARC expression was significantly lower than patients with low SPARC expression. The high SPARC expression scores were predominantly identified in meningothelial, fibrous and chordoid meningiomas; low SPARC expression scores were mostly spotted in secretory and psammomatous meningiomas. Evaluating SPARC expression might help assessing recurrence risk and survival estimation in meningiomas. 相似文献
