126例心房颤动合并长R-R间期患者的动态心电图分析

Objective To analyze the relationship between atrial fibrillation complicating long R-R interval, escape beat and escape heart rhythm and pathological atrioventricular block by dynamic electrocardiography (DCG). Methods 126 patients with atrial fibrillation were divided into group A (being related to sleep) and group B (being not related to sleep) according to the factor whether long R-R interval, escape beat and escape heart rhythm relevant to sleep. All were detected by DCG for 24 hours. Results The cases with1.5～2.0 s long R-R interval, more than 2.0s long R-R interval, escape beat and escape heart rhythm were (26.02±6.03), (7.39±1.05 ) and (6.90±1.28)in group A and (203.05±41.01), (35.48±7.52), (28.10±6.25) in group B respectively. The cases of group B were markedly more than those in group A. Conclusion Those atrial fibrillation complicating long R-R interval, escape bbeat and escape heart rhythm were related to sleep could not be deemed as pathological atrioventricular block, while those were not related to sleep could be considered pathological atrioventricular block.

Fatal encephalitis in a patient with refractory celiac disease presenting with myorhythmia and carpal spasm.

We report the case of a woman with refractory celiac disease who developed abnormal spontaneous movements of the extremities and face consistent with myorhythmia. Investigation led to a diagnosis of encephalitis, confirmed by postmortem examination. The movements were likely caused by nonparaneoplastic encephalitis associated with refractory celiac disease. Etiologic and diagnostic considerations and treatment options are discussed.

Integrated home monitoring predicts lead failure in a pacemaker dependent 4-year-old girl.

A 4-year-old girl with post-surgical complete atrioventricular block received an epicardial dual chamber pacemaker system. During further growth intermittent exit block occurred, first misinterpreted as neurological seizures. The epicardial lead was replaced using a transvenous approach, and a pacemaker with an integrated home monitoring facility was implanted. After her discharge, a rise in the pacing threshold automatically initiated an event message. On the basis of this information, the patient was called in and imminent dislodgement of the ventricular lead was diagnosed by x-ray. The lead was repositioned and was found stable over 1-year follow-up.

Peripheral Foot Blockade Versus Popliteal Fossa Nerve Block: A Prospective Randomized Trial in 51 Patients

The majority of foot and ankle operations are performed on an outpatient basis and often under some form of regional anesthesia. In this prospective, randomized study of 51 patients undergoing elective unilateral forefoot procedures, we compared 2 different anesthetic techniques: the peripheral foot blockade and the popliteal sciatic nerve block. Variables assessed included the quality of surgical anesthesia, postoperative analgesia, and the incidence of postoperative complications. The anesthesia was classified as effective if it was the sole anesthetic technique for the forefoot surgery. We found successful results in both groups: 92% in the foot block group and 96% in the popliteal block group. Analysis of time required to perform the anesthetic procedure showed a significant difference between the 2 groups, with foot block being considerably faster (14.3 minutes vs 19.2 minutes for popliteal block) (P = .0078). Foot block patients demonstrated 10.96 hours of analgesia, whereas popliteal block patients exhibited 14.32 hours (P = .132). With a mean follow-up of 5.7 months, we did not find anesthesia-related complications in any of the patients. Both techniques showed a high level of safety and efficacy, with no significant difference detected between them. Our patients showed a high rate of satisfaction with both procedures (96% for foot block patients and 96.1% for popliteal block patients) and reported a good discharge disposition. These data show that both procedures are safe and effective anesthetic techniques and well suited to forefoot ambulatory surgery.

Responses of periodontal nerve terminals to experimentally induced occlusal trauma in rat molars: an immunohistochenmical study using PGP 9.5 antibody

The response of periodontal nerves to experimentally induced occlusal trauma in rat molars was assessed by immunohistochemistry for protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) at light and electron microscopic levels, and by computerized image analysis. The occlusal surface on the left upper first molar of 8-wk-old male Wistar rats was raised approximately 1 min under ether anaesthesia. The rats were perfusion-fixed on d 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 after bite-raising and then decalcified for 2–3 wk. Frozen sagittal cryostat sections were stained by the avidin-biotin complex method. By the second day after bite-raising many Ruffini endings were swollen and their outline unclear at the light microscopic level. Transmission electron microscopy disclosed PGP 9.5 reaction products within Ruffini endings that had unusually long cytoplasmic projections extending through enlarged slits of the Schwann sheaths and also diffuse extracellular PGP 9.5-immunoreactivity near the Ruffini endings. From d 2 to 4, thin nerve fibres on the pressure side of the periodontal ligament were orientated irregularly and had a prominent beaded appearance. An increase in beaded nerve terminals occurred at d 2–4 post elevation, and decreased later. These results suggest that occlusal trauma induces specific changes in the distribution and shape of nerve terminals in the periodontal ligament.     

Effects of chronic treatment with a nitric oxide donor on nerve conduction abnormalities and endoneurial blood flow in streptozotocin-diabetic rats

Abstract. This study examined the ability of nitrova-sodilator treatment with isosorbide dinitrate to prevent the development of reduced nerve conduction velocity and nutritive blood flow in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus in rats. Two month untreated diabetes caused approximately 23% and 13% reductions in sciatic motor and saphenous nerve sensory conduction velocity ( P < 0.001). Isosorbide dinitrate treatment provided 64.6 and 67.6% protection for motor and sensory nerves, respectively ( P < 0.01). Sciatic endoneurial nutritive blood flow was measured by microelectrode polarography and a hydrogen clearance technique. After 1 month untreated diabetes, flow was reduced by 41.9% ( P < 0.001). Isosorbide dinitrate treatment for 1 month in non-diabetic and diabetic rats significantly increased blood flow ( P < 0.01). When between-group variations in blood pressure were taken into account, vascular conductance increased by 29% and 31% in non-diabetic and diabetic rats, respectively ( P < 0.01). Thus, nitrovasodilator treatment improves nerve perfusion and function in experimental diabetes, probably by compensating for reduced endothelium-derived nitric oxide release or action.
