AF and HTN in the AFFIRM trial . Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been shown to be associated with activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, endothelial dysfunction, and increased sympathetic activity, all of which could lead to hypertension (HTN). While the effects of HTN on AF incidence and arrhythmogenesis have been reported, the long‐term effects of AF on blood pressure (BP) remain unknown. We hypothesized that a rate control strategy is associated with an increase in BP and/or antihypertensive drug therapy when compared with a rhythm control strategy in patients with a history of AF and HTN. Methods and Results: Using the intention to treat method, BP readings and the number of antihypertensive medication categories were analyzed over the first year of follow‐up in patients with AF and HTN enrolled in the AFFIRM trial. No clinically significant changes in BP occurred. Medication data were available in 2,876 patients. In the rate control group, 27.8% of patients required a net increase in the number of antihypertensive medications when compared to 18.3% in the rhythm control group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, 27.1% of patients in the rate control group had a net decrease in the number of antihypertensive medications when compared with 41.7% in the rhythm control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that AF could be contributing to BP elevation in patients with a history of HTN and that a rhythm control strategy might result in a decrease in BP in these patients. This hypothesis however, requires future testing. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 21, pp. 1094‐1098) 相似文献

Abstract. The neutral steroid fractions in the urine of eleven patients suffering from various forms of liver disease with cholestasis and of ten healthy individuals were studied by glass capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The steroid conjugates in urine were enzymatically solvolysed, the liberated steroids extracted and transformed into the trimethylsilylether for measurements.
The excretion rates of androstane and pregnane metabolites of patients with liver disease were far lower than those of healthy persons. The main compounds in the urine of the former were the bile alcohols 27 - nor -3α, 7α, 12α, 24, 25 - pentahydroxy - 5β - cholestane and 3α, 7α, 12α, 25, 26 - pentahydroxy - 5β - cholestane. Our data suggest a correlation between the excretion rates of these bile alcohols and the serum levels of bilirubin. While the excretion rate of the two bile alcohols in the urine of healthy individuals was approximately 0.24 mg/24 h (0.6 μmol/24 h) a patient with a serum bilirubin of 841 μmol/1 excreted 4 mg/24 h (9 μmol/24 h). The accumulation of bile alcohols described in this study possibly indicates alternative pathways of cholic acid formation in liver disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Suicide attempts by adolescents continue to be a major public health problem. The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in the family functioning and sociopsychopathological risk factor relationship between female bulimic adolescents with suicidal ideation only, and those who attempted suicide. METHODS: A group of 211 patients were observed for 12 months. Data from 63 subjects (SUG [suicide group], age 17.2 +/- 1.3 years) who had attempted suicide were then compared with 148 (control group, age 18.1 +/- 1.5 years) who had expressed suicidal ideation but did not follow through. RESULTS: Those in the suicide attempt group had been exposed more frequently to physical/sexual violence in childhood. As adults they either lived alone or were dissatisfied with their partnership. The frequency of borderline personality disorders and depressive disorders in this group was significant. Psychosomatic symptoms, disturbed coenesthesia, substance abuse, social impairment and interference with their perception of their own life circumstances, as well as their job performance, often preceded the suicide attempt. Nine genuine risk factors that occurred significantly more often in the SUG were calculated out of all the stress factors using stepwise logistic regression: 'as a child I was even hit with a stick or whip', 'I had no set orientation in life', 'I had a feeling of loneliness despite family and friends', 'I could not relax', 'incapable of dealing with the public', 'I do not like to be touched', 'parents have psychiatric disorders', 'misuse of stimulants', and 'as a child I felt lonely' (odds ratio, 10.56-1.90). CONCLUSION: Adverse family experiences and multiple sociopsychopathological factors may increase the risk of suicide in female bulimic adolescents. 相似文献

Summary Several studies have indicated a high prevalence of hand warts in meat handlers, although the reasons for this are not clear. The high prevalence may be partly due to HPV7, a virus found almost exclusively in meat handlers, but the source of HPV7 is not known. We have carried out a cross-sectional survey of hand warts in male meat workers and controls from other occupational groups, to investigate the reasons for the high prevalence of warts, and particularly of HPV7, in butchers. We studied 240 abattoir workers. 246 retail and wholesale butchers, 308 engineering fitters and 292 office workers. Each subject was interviewed using a standard questionnaire, and his hands were examined by a dermatologist. Scrapings from the warts were tested for HPV1, HPV2 and HPV7 by a polymerase chain reaction method. The prevalence of hand warts was 33·3% in the abattoir workers, 34·1% in the butchers, 19·5% in the engineers and 14·7% in the office workers. Scrapings were taken from 247 of 267 subjects with warts, and HPV DNA was detected in 151 samples. The most common viruses were HPV2 (94 men) and HPV7 (76 men). The excess of warts in meat workers was largely due to HPV7, which was found in only two of the office workers, and was not found in any of the engineers. Logistic regression analysis showed no association between the prevalence of hand warts (or HPV2 and HPV7 specifically) and hand trauma, cold and wet working conditions, smoking, atopy, or handling any particular kind of meat. We suggest that some constituent of animal flesh predisposes to replication of HPV7 in keratinized epithelium. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of human vitreous to support bacterial growth and to show differences in the growth kinetics of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Vitreous gel of 70 keratoplasty donor eyes was sampled under sterile conditions, screened microscopically for cellular components and tested for sterility and levels of antibiotic drugs by bio-assay. The samples were inoculated with clinical isolates ofPseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus viridansandStreptococcus pyogenes.As control each strain was added both to 0.9% sodium chloride solution and to Mueller-Hinton broth. In order to determine bacterial growth the number of colony forming units was determined 4, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hr after inoculation by viable count. Vitreous gel did not support bacterial growth; the tested strains could not be recovered after 48 hr. Similar results could be obtained with sodium chloride; whereas in Mueller Hinton broth the strains showed normal pattern of growth. It seems that vitreous humor has inherent antibacterial capacity in vitro, although the responsible factors remain unknown. 相似文献

Summary The distribution of warts due to HPV7 in workers in six abattoirs and 103 retail and wholesale butcheries has been studied to determine whether the high prevalence of HPV7 in the meat trade is the result of enhanced person to person transmission, or whether it is a ubiquitous virus which is activated by an unknown factor in meat. Warts were detected in 164 of 486 men. Scrapings were taken from 156 men, and HPV DNA was found in 112 samples, 74 of which contained HPV7. HPV7 was found in 36 workplaces, and there was no evidence of clustering of cases, as would be expected if person to person transmission was occurring in the workplace. This suggests that HPV7 is widely distributed in the community, but only causes clinical disease under specific conditions. We suggest that some unknown factor in meat enhances viral replication. 相似文献
