Two piperazine-containing 3,4-dihyroquinazolines (BK10007S/8S) have been synthesized, based on our previous work on the synthesis and antitumoral activity of 3,4-dihyroquinazolines. After evaluating them for T-type calcium channel blocking effect and in vitro anti-cancer effect, they were profiled for acute and repeat dose toxicity (40 mg/kg, 2 weeks) to BALB/c mice. BK10007S/8S were further in vivo evaluated against human pancreatic MIA PaCa-2 carcinoma in BALB/c nu/nu nude mice, which exhibited 54 and 61% tumor growth inhibition through 57-day oral administration of 2 mg/kg of body weight, respectively.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-related infections within the first post-procedural year after CIED insertion. Methods: This study included 509 adult patients undergoing CIED implantation procedures between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The data were analyzed by t-test, chi-square test, Fisher' s exact test, and logistic regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: Fifteen infections and 494 non-infections were examined. The CIED-related infection rate was 2.9%; patients with 14 pocket infections and one bacteremia were included in the CIED-related infection. The risk factors of CIED-related infections were the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (Odds ratio [OR]= 4.03, 95% confidence interval [CI],1.15-14.10) and taking a new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) (OR = 4.50, 95% CI 1.09-18.55). Conclusion: These results identified the CIED infection rate and risk factors of CIED-related infection. It is necessary to consider these risk factors before the CIED implantation procedure and to establish the relevant nursing interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
