Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of two different catheter ablation strategies for treating left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPF-VT): a novel fragmented antegrade Purkinje (FAP) ablation and a traditional approach targeting earliest Purkinje potential or applying linear ablation.
- In a comparison involving 189 patients, FAP ablation resulted in shorter procedure times and fewer complications compared to traditional methods, with significant differences in the occurrence of left posterior fascicular block (11.6% in FAP group vs. 79.8% in traditional group).
- Both approaches achieved high success rates in eliminating LPF-VT, with similar long-term outcomes; however, the
Tao-He-Cheng-Qi decoction (THCQ) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine used to treat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study was performed to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of THCQ decoction on secondary brain damage in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage and to elucidate the potential mechanism based on a metabolomics approach. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups: the sham group, collagenase-induced ICH model group, THCQ low-dose (THCQ-L)-treated group, THCQ moderate-dose (THCQ-M)-treated group and THCQ high-dose (THCQ-H)-treated group.

The suitability of the model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score to predict adverse outcomes in infective endocarditis (IE) patients remains uncertain. This study was performed to explore the prognostic value of the MELD-XI score and modified MELD-XI score for patients with IE. A total of 858 patients with IE were consecutively enrolled and classified into two groups: MELD-XI ≤ 10 (n = 588) and MELD-XI > 10 (n = 270).
