目的探讨简便的Wagner心电图QRS评分结果与糖尿病小型猪急性心肌梗死面积的相关性。方法巴马小型猪12只,随机分为糖尿病组（n=6）和正常组（n=6）。一次性静脉注射STZ（150mg／kg）的方法建立小型猪糖尿病模型,分别在给药前、给药后1周、2周和3周,采集血液,监测血糖,空腹血糖持续增高（FBG≥7．0retool／L）者认为建模成功;其次,定位结扎糖尿病组和正常对照组小型猪冠脉左前降支第1和第2对角支之间部位,并在缺血10rain、30min、1h、48h后查心电图,行QRS心电图计分;然后利用心肌组织Evan’sblue和TTC染色计算梗死心肌体积;分析QRS心电图计分与心肌梗死体积的相关性。结果所有动物急性心肌缺血病理变化明显,48h后都有病理性Q波形成,糖尿病组QRS评分明显较对照组高（6．9±2．4VS．4．1±1．8,P〈0．05）;病理染色结果显示其梗死面积明显比对照组大（29．2±5．1％vs．15．3±3．4％,P〈0．05）,二者相关系数为0．92。结论糖尿病心肌急性缺血更容易导致心肌组织坏死,梗死面积明显比对照组大;心电图检测判断心梗面积与病理情况下心梗面积相关性良好。     

Effects of atropine and propranolol on the respiratory, circulatory, and ECG responses to high altitude in man

In order to analyze the respiratory, cardiovascular, and ECG responses to acute hypoxic hypoxia, three experimental series were carried out in a randomized manner on 11 healthy, unacclimatized volunteers at rest during standardized stepwise exposure to 6000 m (PAO2 35.2 +/- 2.9 mmHg/4.7 +/- 0.4 kPa) in a low-pressure chamber a) without (control), b) with propranolol, and c) with atropine combined with propranolol. The results show that hypoxic hyperventilation and alveolar gases are not affected by activation of the sympatho-adrenal axis or by parasympathetic withdrawal. Sympathetic activity, however, increases heart rate, stroke volume (pulse pressure), estimated cardiac output and systolic blood pressure, whereas decreased parasympathetic activity increases heart rate and estimated cardiac output, but lowers stroke volume. The fall in peripheral resistance, observed during progressive hypoxia in all three groups, is thought to be due to hypoxia-induced depression of the vasomotor center. At altitude catecholamine secretion and vagal withdrawal synergistically account in the ECG for the R-R shortening, the relative Q-T lengthening, the elevation of the P wave and the ST-T flattening. Probable direct hypoxic effects on the heart are the increase in P-Q duration and the minor but still significant depression of the T wave. It is concluded that at altitude increased sympatho-adrenal and decreased parasympathetic activity is without effect on hypoxic hyperventilation, but accounts for most of the cardiovascular and ECG changes. Diminution of sympathetic activity and imminent vagotonia arising after acute ascent to 6000 m probably reflect hypoxia of the central nervous system.     

Tea catechins inhibit cholesterol oxidation accompanying oxidation of low density lipoprotein in vitro

Endogenous oxidized cholesterols are potent atherogenic agents. Therefore, the antioxidative effects of green tea catechins (GTC) against cholesterol oxidation were examined in an in vitro lipoprotein oxidation system. The antioxidative potency of GTC against copper catalyzed LDL oxidation was in the decreasing order (-)-epigalocatechin gallate (EGCG)=(-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG)>(-)-epicatechin (EC)=(+)-catechin (C)>(-)-epigallocatechin (EGC). Reflecting these activities, both EGCG (74%) and ECG (70%) inhibited the formation of oxidized cholesterol, as well as the decrease of linoleic and arachidonic acids, in copper catalyzed LDL oxidation. The formation of oxidized cholesterol in 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH)-mediated oxidation of rat plasma was also inhibited when the rats were given diets containing 0.5% ECG or EGCG. In addition, EGCG and ECG highly inhibited oxygen consumption and formation of conjugated dienes in AAPH-mediated linoleic acid peroxidative reaction. These two species of catechin also markedly lowered the generation of hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion. Thus, GTC, especially ECG and EGCG, seem to inhibit cholesterol oxidation in LDL by combination of interference with PUFA oxidation, the reduction and scavenging of copper ion, hydroxyl radical generated from peroxidation of PUFA and superoxide anion.

基于小波变换的混合二维ECG数据压缩方法

提出了一种新的基于小波变换的混合二维心电(electrocardiogram,ECG)数据压缩方法。基于ECG数据的两种相关性,该方法首先将一维ECG信号转化为二维信号序列。然后对二维序列进行了小波变换,并利用改进的编码方法对变换后的系数进行了压缩编码:即先根据不同系数子带的各自特点和系数子带之间的相似性,改进了等级树集合分裂(setpartitioninghierarchicaltrees,SPIHT)算法和矢量量化(vectorquantization,VQ)算法;再利用改进后的SPIHT与VQ相混合的算法对小波变换后的系数进行了编码。利用所提算法与已有具有代表性的基于小波变换的压缩算法和其他二维ECG信号的压缩算法,对MIT/BIH数据库中的心律不齐数据进行了对比压缩实验。结果表明:所提算法适用于各种波形特征的ECG信号,并且在保证压缩质量的前提下,可以获得较大的压缩比。

Investigation of the XCAT phantom as a validation tool in cardiac MRI tracking algorithms

PurposeTo describe our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulated implementation of the 4D digital extended cardio torso (XCAT) phantom to validate our previously developed cardiac tracking techniques. Real-time tracking will play an important role in the non-invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation with MRI-guided radiosurgery. In addition, to show how quantifiable measures of tracking accuracy and patient-specific physiology could influence MRI tracking algorithm design.MethodsTwenty virtual patients were subjected to simulated MRI scans that closely model the proposed real-world scenario to allow verification of the tracking technique’s algorithm. The generated phantoms provide ground-truth motions which were compared to the target motions output from our tracking algorithm. The patient-specific tracking error, e_p, was the 3D difference (vector length) between the ground-truth and algorithm trajectories. The tracking errors of two combinations of new tracking algorithm functions that were anticipated to improve tracking accuracy were studied. Additionally, the correlation of key physiological parameters with tracking accuracy was investigated.ResultsOur original cardiac tracking algorithm resulted in a mean tracking error of 3.7 ± 0.6 mm over all virtual patients. The two combinations of tracking functions demonstrated comparable mean tracking errors however indicating that the optimal tracking algorithm may be patient-specific.ConclusionsCurrent and future MRI tracking strategies are likely to benefit from this virtual validation method since no time-resolved 4D ground-truth signal can currently be derived from purely image-based studies.
