ABSTRACT
Primary liver cancer has various potential causes and insidious onset, and its progression is affected by many factors. Immunotherapy and targeted drug therapy have been used as non-radical treatment methods for primary liver cancer, but they cannot achieve a satisfactory effect and may lead to drug resistance. In recent years, the wide application of 16s high-throughput sequencing and the in-depth studies of microbiology have revealed the key role of microorganisms in the development and progression of liver cancer. The association of the liver with oral and intestinal flora is gradually clarified, and the regulation of oral and intestinal flora has brought new treatment methods for the disease. This article reviews the microbial theory of the oral-gut-liver axis and its application and development in the treatment of primary liver cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the automatic ventricular capture management (VCM) conifrmed by paced depolarization integral (PDI) evoked response detection via the follow-up study in patients with Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation. Methods: A total of 102 relevant patients were enrolled. In order to conduct PDI calculation, pacemakers were set by bipolar sensing and bipolar pacing at immediately after implantation. VCM functions were observed at 1 day, 7 days and 1 month, 3, 6, 12 months after implantation, the ventricular threshold by VCM test and manual test were compared. The symptoms of pectoralis major stimulus, diaphragm stimulus and palpitation were observed in all follow-up patients. Results: There was 1 patient died by MI at 1 month after Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation, the rest 101 patients were followed-up for 12 months. VCM function was successfully turned-on at immediately after implantation in all patients, no pectoralis major stimulus and diaphragm stimulus occurred. VCM function was turned-off in 6/101 (5.9%) patients at 7 days after implantation due to intolerable palpitation caused by daily automatic VCM, instead they received manual test at follow-up visit. The coincidence rate of ventricular thresholds between VCM test and manual test were 100%. Ventricular pacing output voltage by VCM was (0.99 ± 0.48) V,n=608. Compared with regular pacing output voltage (2.5V, 0.4ms), VCM function may save 84% of energy consumption; compared to high pacing output voltage (3.5V, 0.4ms), VCM may save 92%. Loss of ventricular capture and poor sensation were not found by ECG and 24 h dynamic monitoring. Conclusion: Zephyr5826 pacemaker may conduct bipolar pacing and scanning with VCM function, it can be effectively and safely operated by low energy output. A few patients may not use VCM function due to intolerable palpitation.
