Article Abstract
Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has gained increased adoption globally with the use of both lumenless leads (LLLs) and stylet-driven leads (SDLs). As these leads have been developed for conventional endocardial pacing sites, concerns remain regarding the lead integrity with LBBAP.
Objectives: This study evaluates lead integrity of pacing leads used for LBBAP in a large, real-world cohort of patients with LBBAP.
Methods: Patients with successful LBBAP from 17 international centers were enrolled in this observational study. Data on overall lead integrity, fracture rates, and locations of fractures were collected.
Result: The study enrolled 8,255 patients with LBBAP (age 73 ± 13 years, 42% female, 68% LLLs, and 32% SDLs). Overall lead survival rate was 99.7% with median follow-up of 16.4 (Q1-Q3: 6.4-28.8) months. Lead fracture occurred in 12 of 8,255 (0.15%) patients. Lead fracture rates of LLLs occurred in 2 of 5,609 (0.04%) vs 10 of 2,646 (0.4%) patients for SDLs, during a follow-up of 19.5 (Q1-Q3: 9.7-33) and 10.3 (Q1-Q3: 2.9-19.7) months, respectively (P < 0.001). SDL fractures occurred at 13.9 (Q1-Q3: 6.1-17.7) months after implant, whereas 2 LLL fractures occurred at 21 and 31.4 months. SDL and LLL conductor fractures were observed in 7 of 17 and 2 of 17 centers, respectively. Confirmed fractures of the SDL lead originated within the interelectrode lead segment, whereas LLL fractures occurred proximal to the ring.
Conclusions: LBBAP lead performance of LLLs and SDLs is high at midterm follow-up. SDLs exhibit higher rates of fracture compared to LLLs. Hot spots for conductor fracture are the distal interelectrode segment in SDLs and the segment proximal to the ring electrode in LLLs.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major global health threat owing to its multi-drug resistance, creating an urgent need for novel antibiotics. This study focused on developing anti-MRSA agents by designing and synthesizing 30 xanthotoxin-pyridine quaternary ammonium derivatives, followed by evaluating their antibacterial activity and dissecting their mechanism of action against MRSA. Among all derivatives, III13 demonstrated as the most promising candidate: it exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity (MIC = 1 μg/mL), low cytotoxicity, minimal hemolysis, rapid bactericidal effects, and the ability to disrupt biofilms.

A series of novel 3,3-dimethyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazole derivatives were rationally designed, synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity as AcrB inhibitors. The compounds were assessed for their antibiotic potentiating effects, followed by evaluation of Nile Red efflux inhibition, and off-target effects including activity on the outer and inner bacterial membranes. Ten compounds potentiated antibiotic activity at sub-inhibitory concentrations, reducing the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of at least one of the tested antibiotics by at least 8-fold, with three derivatives (7c, 11g, and 11i) achieving 32-fold MIC reductions at 128 μg/mL.

In engineering structure performance monitoring, capturing real-time on-site data and conducting precise analysis are critical for assessing structural condition and safety. However, equipment instability and complex on-site environments often lead to data anomalies and gaps, hindering accurate performance evaluation. This study, conducted within a wind farm reinforcement project in Shandong Province, addresses these challenges by focusing on anomaly detection and data imputation for weld nail strain, anchor cable axial force, and concrete strain.
