Abstract
BACKGROUND:Premature atrial complexes from pulmonary veins are the main triggers for atrial fibrillation in the early stages. Thus, pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, the success rate remains perfectible. AIM:To assess whether premature atrial complex characteristics before catheter ablation can predict pulmonary vein isolation success in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. METHODS:We investigated consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation from January 2013 to April 2017 in two French centres. Patients were included if they were treated with pulmonary vein isolation alone, and had 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram data before catheter ablation available and a follow-up of≥6 months. Catheter ablation success was defined as freedom from any sustained atrial arrhythmia recurrence after a 3-month blanking period following catheter ablation. RESULTS:One hundred and three patients were included; all had an acute successful pulmonary vein isolation procedure, and 34 (33%) had atrial arrhythmia recurrences during a mean follow-up of 30±15 months (group 1). Patients in group 1 presented a longer history of atrial fibrillation (71.9±65.8 vs. 42.9±48.4 months; P=0.008) compared with those who were "free from arrhythmia" (group 2). Importantly, the daily number of premature atrial complexes before catheter ablation was significantly lower in group 1 (498±1413 vs. 1493±3366 in group 2; P=0.028). A daily premature atrial complex cut-off number of<670 predicted recurrences after pulmonary vein isolation (41.1% vs. 13.3%; sensitivity 88.2%; specificity 37.7%; area under the curve 0.635; P=0.017), and was the only independent predictive criterion in the multivariable analysis (4-fold increased risk). CONCLUSION:Preprocedural premature atrial complex analysis on 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation may improve patient selection for pulmonary vein isolation.
摘要
背景: 来自肺静脉的房早复合物是早期心房颤动的主要诱因。因此,肺静脉隔离是阵发性心房颤动导管消融的基石。然而,成功率仍然是完美的。 目的: 评估导管消融前房早复征是否能预测阵发性心房颤动肺静脉隔离的成功。 方法: 我们调查了2013年1月至2017年4月在法国两个中心接受导管消融治疗阵发性心房颤动的连续患者。如果患者仅接受肺静脉隔离治疗,并且在导管消融前有24小时动态心电图数据,并且随访时间 ≥ 6个月,则纳入患者。导管消融成功被定义为在导管消融后3个月的消隐期后没有任何持续的房性心律失常复发。 结果: 共纳入33% 例患者; 所有患者均获得急性成功的肺静脉隔离手术,34例 () 在平均30 ± 15个月的随访期间复发房性心律失常 (组1)。与 “无心律失常” 的患者 (组2) 相比,组1的患者表现出更长的房颤病史 (71.9 ± 65.8对42.9 ± 48.4个月; P = 0.008)。重要的是,在导管消融前,组1的每日房性早搏数显著降低 (498 ± 1413 vs.组2的1493 ± 3366; P = 0.028)。每日房早复界数 <670预测肺静脉隔离后复发 (41.1% vs. 13.3%; 敏感性88.2%; 特异性37.7%; 曲线下面积0.635; P = 0.017),是多变量分析中唯一的独立预测标准 (风险增加4倍). 结论: 对阵发性心房颤动患者进行24小时动态心电图房性早搏综合分析,可改善肺静脉隔离的患者选择。

METHODS::The ATP binding-cassette superfamily corresponds the mostly transmembrane transporters family found in humans. These proteins actively transport endogenous and exogenous substrates through biological membranes in body tissues, so they have an important role in the regulation of many physiological functions necessary for human homeostasis, as well as in response regulation to several pharmacological substrates. The development of multidrug resistance has become one of the main troubles in conventional chemotherapy in different illnesses including cancer, being the increased efflux of antineoplastic drugs the main reason for this multidrug resistance, with a key role of the ABC superfamily. Likely, the interindividual variability in the pharmacological response among patients is well known, and may be due to intrinsically factors of the disease, genetic and environmental ones. Thus, the understanding of this variability, especially the genetic variability associated with the efficacy and toxicity of drugs, can provide a safer and more effective pharmacological treatment, so ABC genes are considered as important regulators due to their relationship with the reduction in pharmacological response. In this review, updated information about transporters belonging to this superfamily was collected, the possible role of these transporters in cancer, the role of genetic variability in their genes, as well as some therapeutic tools that have been tried to raise against main transporters associated with chemoresistance in cancer.
METHODS:BACKGROUND:Cholinergic neurotransmission regulates neuroinflammation in Parkinson disease (PD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:The authors conducted a delayed-start study of donepezil for cognitive decline in non-demented PD patients. The study consisted of a 96-week randomized placebo-controlled double-blind phase 1, followed by a 24-week donepezil extension phase 2. The primary outcome measure was a change in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at week 120. RESULTS:A total of 98 patients were randomly allocated to the early-start (donepezil-to-donepezil) and delayed-start (placebo-to-donepezil) groups. Mean (SD) of the baseline MMSE was 27.6 (2.0) and 28.0 (2.1), respectively. MMSE change at week 120 was better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group, but the difference was not significant. The MMSE declined in apolipoprotein ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and the factor interaction (intervention × ε4 genotype) was highly significant (P < 0.001). Analyzed with the interaction, the difference was significant (group difference 1.95 [0.33 to 3.57], P = 0.018). The MMSE decline slope in phase 1 was significantly better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS:Cognitive function deteriorated in ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and early-start donepezil may postpone cognitive decline in the former.
METHODS::Since the discovery of dental pulp stem cells, a lot of teams have expressed an interest in dental pulp regeneration. Many approaches, experimental models and biological explorations have been developed, each including the use of stem cells and scaffolds with the final goal being clinical application in humans. In this review, the authors' objective was to compare the experimental models and strategies used for the development of biomaterials for tissue engineering of dental pulp with stem cells. Electronic queries were conducted on PubMed using the following terms: pulp regeneration, scaffold, stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterial. The extracted data included the following information: the strategy envisaged, the type of stem cells, the experimental models, the exploration or analysis methods, the cytotoxicity or viability or proliferation cellular tests, the tests of scaffold antibacterial properties and take into account the vascularization of the regenerated dental pulp. From the 71 selected articles, 59% focused on the "cell-transplantation" strategy, 82% used in vitro experimentation, 58% in vivo animal models and only one described an in vivo in situ human clinical study. 87% used dental pulp stem cells. A majority of the studies reported histology (75%) and immunohistochemistry explorations (66%). 73% mentioned the use of cytotoxicity, proliferation or viability tests. 48% took vascularization into account but only 6% studied the antibacterial properties of the scaffolds. This article gives an overview of the methods used to regenerate dental pulp from stem cells and should help researchers create the best development strategies for research in this field.
