It is shown that the secret would be partially leaked out when an eavesdropper performs forcible measurements on the transmitted particles. With the help of the result in minimum error discrimination, an upper bound （i.e. 40%） of this leakage is obtained. Moreover, the particular measurements which makes the leakage reach this bound are given.展开更多

Methods Acute myocardial infarction （AMI） was induced in 35 rabbits via concomitant ligation of the left anterior descending （LAD） coronary artery and the circumflex （Cx） branch at the middle portion. Development of AMI was co n-firmed by ST segment elevation and akinesis of the occluded area. Echocardiography, pathological evaluation, and agar i n-tra-chamber casting were utilized to validate the formation of LVA four weeks after the surgery. Left ventricular end systolic pressure （LVESP） and diastolic pressure （LVEDP） were measured before, immediately after and four weeks after ligation. D i-mensions of the ventricular chamber, thickness of the interventricular septum （IVS） and the left ventricular posterior wall （LVPW） left ventricular end diastolic volume （LVEDV） and systolic volume （LVESV）, and ejection fraction （EF） were recorded by echo-cardiography. Results Thirty one （88.6%） rabbits survived myocardial infarction and 26 of them developed aneurysm （83.9%）. The mean area of aneurysm was 33.4% ＆#177; 2.4% of the left ventricle. LVEF markedly decreased after LVA formation, whereas LVEDV, LVESV and the thickness of IVS as well as the dimension of ventricular chamber from apex to mitral valve annulus significantly increased. LVESP immediately dropped after ligation and recovered to a small extent after LVA formation. LVEDP progressively increased after ligation till LVA formation. Areas in the left ventricle （LV） that underwent fibrosis included the apex, anterior wall and lateral wall but not IVS. Agar intra-chamber cast showed that the bulging of LV wall was prominent in the area of aneurysm. Conclusions Ligation of LAD and Cx at the middle portion could induce develo pment of LVA at a mean area ratio of 33.4%＆#177;2.4%which involves the apex, anterior wall and lateral wall of the LV.展开更多
