Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an emerging epidemic of cardiovascular disease in the 21st century, and the disease burden is worsening. Warfarin is used for stroke prevention in AF as an effective drug, but its use in patients with AF of our country is still inadequate. With the continuous increase of new oral anticoagulants and left atrial appendage closure technology applications, antithrombotic treatment of AF is facing more choices. Catheter ablation has become the first-line treatment for paroxysmal AF. However,the best strategy for ablation persistent AF is still controversial. In recent years, more and more focuses have been put on life style intervention in the prevention and treatment of AF. The management of AF will expect a new stage in the future.

Thromboembolism is the most serious complication in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).It is crucial to predict and reduce the thromboembolic risk as soon as possible.Chronic anticoagulaion therapy has certain limitations in the prevention of thromboembolic events.Left atrial appendage(LAA) was confirmed as the main part of thrombus formation in patients with nonvalvular AF.As a result,percutaneous LAA occlusion has been advocated as a strategy for the prevention of thromboembolic event.LAA occlusion can effectively reduce the incidence of thromboembolic events in patients with nonvalvular AF and was also considered for patients with contraindications to oral anticoagulation.The WATCHMAN and ACP device have been authorized to enter the European Union market.LARIAT ligation device was also approved by US Food and Drug Administration because of its efficacy and safety.Due to its wide indications and high safety,percutaneous LAA occlusion or suture ligation is expected to become a reasonable alternative to prevent thromboembolic events for most patients with AF.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common tachyarrhythmias in clinical practice. AF increases the risk of stroke. Warfarin has been proven effective. However, the high risk of bleeding, narrow therapeutic window, long term INR monitoring for proper adjustment of medication are the major drawbacks of this medicine. The novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban are effective and safe alternative to warfarin for the prevention of stroke and systemic emboli in patients with AF. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion may be an effective alternative treatment for prevention of thromboembolic events in AF patients.

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common arrhythmias in clinic. The biggest risk of atrial fibrillation is thromboembolism, the most common complication is stroke. With the aging of population, more and more people suffer from atrial fibrillation, so the treatment of atrial fibrillation has gradually become the focus problem. Radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is one of the important treatment methods, it can obviously improve the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation. And with the development of technology, ablation method has been mature, the status of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is gradually improved. However, there is no fixed operation method up to now. The mechanism of atrial fibrillation is not thoroughly explicit, especially for persistent atrial fibrillation. There are still some problems with radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation to further investigate.

Acute atrial fibrillation defines the patients with atrial fibrillation which continue less than 48 hours, and the patients present obvious symptom or hemodynamic instability. The feature of acute atrial fibrillation is rapid ventricular rate, which may result in dangerous complications such as heart failure, stroke, sudden death and so on. Therefore, we should give urgent treatment for the patients. The treatment of acute atrial fibrillation should base on factors of original diseases, inducement, hemodynamic stability or not and the duration of fibrillation, which are helpful for individualized treatment plan.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Based on the symptom and duration, AF can be clinically classified into five types: first detected, paroxysmal, persistent, long-standing persistent and permanent AF. According to the haemodynamic condition and duration, rhythm-control strategy (conversion and maintenance of sinus rhythm), rate-control strategy and continuous anticoagulation strategy are optional. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been proposed as alternatives to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). The status of catheter ablation improves gradually, especially for the paroxysmal AF with non-structural heart disease, and now catheter ablation has been considered as a first line treatment and may be prior to anti-arrhythmic drug therapy in symptomatic paroxysmal AF with non-structural heart disease.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonist in the treatment of refractory SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis).Methods A total of 35 patients with refractory SAPHO syndrome treated by TNF-α antagonist was retrospectively studied and the response of patients was recorded.Results The treatment time for 35 patients with TNF-α antagonist was 2 weeks to 240 weeks, and the average time was (24.4±48.8) weeks. The ostalgia in 32 cases (91.4%) significantly improved in the early time: the ostalgia in 22 cases (68.8%) has been improved after receiving once therapy; the ostalgia in 8 cases (32.0%) improved after receiving twice therapy; the ostalgia in 2 cases (6.2%) improved after receiving therapy three times. For rash, 15 cases were effective in early stage, but in the maintenance treatment, 6 cases had a relapse or aggravation of skin rash and 12 cases had no improvement. A total of 9 cases had adverse reactions: 6 cases had new rash, 1 case had submaxillaritis, 1 case had buttock abscess and 1 case had pneumonia.Conclusion Among the patients with refractory SAPHO syndrome receiving TNF-α antagonist treatment, 91.4% of patients with ostalgia significantly improved in the early time and the improvement was more effective in the first three therapy; but in the maintenance medication, only 11 cases (31.4%) were effective. The improvement of the rash was not wholly satisfied, only 9 cases (27.2%) were effective and it was possible to induce a new or aggravated rash, and also there was potential risk to be infected.

Objective To observe the change of CD4⁺CD25⁺regulatory T cells(Tregs) in early-stage sepsis patients of intensive care unit(ICU).Methods The subjects were 74 early-stage sepsis patients in ICU of Tianjin People's Hospital from June 2012 to December 2013,30 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and 44 healthy controls. The percentage of Tregs cells in the blood, the level of plasma interferon-γ(IFN-γ),interleukin-4(IL-4) and soluble CD25 of the early-stage sepsis patients were tested.Results Compared with the control group, the level of plasma IFN-γ and IL-4 in the early-stage sepsis patients increased significantly(P<0.01). The value of IFN-γ/IL-4 was significantly higher in patients with sepsis and SIRS(P<0.01).There were no difference about the indicators between SIRS patients and early-stage sepsis patients (P>0.05). The percentage of Tregs in early-stage sepsis patients was significantly higher than that of SIRS and health control cases(P<0.01). Using the percentage of Tregs could distinguish early-stage sepsis and SRIS. The plasma soluble CD25 levels in patients with early-stage sepsis also improved significantly, and the level was positively correlated with the percentage of Tregs(r=0.391,P=0.004).Conclusion The results suggest that Tregs can be used as an index of early diagnosis of sepsis, and using the percentage of Tregs could distinguish early-stage sepsis and SRIS. The ratio can be used for evaluating immune status in patients and help doctors formulate the best immune adjustment therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between blood glucose variability and prognosis in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP).Methods A retrospective study involving 59 patients with AOPP from January 2010 to August 2015 was performed. All cases were divided into survival group (n=40) and death group (n=19) according to the prognosis. Blood glucose (GLU), the mean and standard deviation of GLU (GLUave and GLUsd), variation of GLU (GLUcv), GLU lability index (GLI) and APACHEⅡ score were monitored and calculated. The value of prognosis of each index was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results There was no statistically difference in the GLU admission and GLUave between two groups (P>0.05). The levels of GLUsd,GLUcv and GLI in death group were significantly higher than those of survival group (P<0.05). ROC curve indicated that GLI was most sensitive in predicting prognosis and was similar to APACHⅡ score.Conclusion Glucose variability is firmly associated with mortality in patients with AOPP, lowering blood glucose variability is helpful in improving outcomes in AOPP patients.

Objective To compare the value of multiple urine detection methods in urinary tract infection by Meta analysis, including bacterial culture, urinary sediment microscopic examination, urine analyzer and routine urine dry chemical method for bacteria, white blood cell and red blood cell.Methods The papers were retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane library, Springerlink, CNKI and Wanfang database, with the time limit of retrieval from the establishment of database to December, 2014. Two system evaluators performed independent screening for the quality of references according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria in references. RevMan 5.3 and Meta-DiSc were adopted for reference analysis. The combination sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe), positive likelihood ratio (LR⁺), negative likelihood ratio (LR^-) and diagnosis odds ratio (DOR) were calculated, and SROC curve was drawn.Results ① 14 references were included finally (the information of 9 518 patients in total) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria ; ② urine while blood cell were detected by urinary sediment microscopic examination as the golden standard; according to the detection by the routine urine dry chemical method, the AUC (area under the curve) of SROC is 0.9656, the comprehensive sensitivity was 0.845 (0.805,0.879), and the comprehensive specificity 0.944(0.929,0.957); according to the detection by the urine analyzer, the AUC of SROC was 0.8983, the comprehensive sensitivity 0.631 (0.591,0.669), and the comprehensive specificity 0.929 (0.911,0.944); ③ urine red blood cell was detected by urinary sediment microscopic examination as the golden standard; according to the detection by the routine urine dry chemical method, the AUC of SROC was 0.9306, the comprehensive sensitivity 0.590 (0.572,0.608), and the comprehensive specificity 0.948 (0.938,0.956); according to the detection by the urine analyzer, the AUC of SROC was 0.7319, the comprehensive sensitivity 0.473 (0.433,0.513), and the comprehensive specificity 0.971 (0.958,0.980); ④ Urine bacteria were detectedby bacterial culture as the golden standard; according to the urine analyzer, the AUC of SROC curve fitting was 0.9048, the comprehensive sensitivity 0.842 (0.811,0.870), and the comprehensive specificity 0.881 (0.865,0.896).Conclusion In the examination of white blood cell and red blood cell under urinary tract infection, the routine urine dry chemical method was superior to urine analyzer in terms of AUC, sensitivity and specificity. In the urine bacterial examination, urine analyzer had higher diagnostic values and a shorter period of bacterial culture. Therefore, urine analyzer was recommended for screening of urine bacteria. However, in order to make a definite diagnosis, it was necessary for the combination of bacterial culture.
