A 17 year old female patient with Ebstein`s anomaly received surgical treatment for WPW syndrome and AV nodal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia[SVT] Electrophysiologic study revealed that an anomalous pathway was located in the right posterolateral portion and antegrade dual AV nodal pathway responsible for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. The patient was underwent surgery on February 18, 1987. Intraoperative mapping was used to define the location of accessory pathway. The accessory pathway was cryoablated through the epicardium. Simultaneously discrete cryoablation around the perinodal area was performed to prevent AV nodal reentrant SVT. The atrialized right ventricle of Ebstein`s anomaly was plicated with 11 pledget mattress sutures under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Two and half years after surgery, the patient has no evidence of WPW syndrome or supraventricular tachycardia.

Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias are readily characterized and understood, but the surgical procedures for their correction are complex and not easily mastered. Conversely, ventricular tachyarrhythmias are frequently difficult to characterize and localize electrophysiologically and their basic mechanisms are poorly understood. The role of the surgeon in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia has changed dramatically during the past decade. This report is a case of 26 years old male with supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. The result of endocardial electrophysiologic study demonstrated accessory pathway connecting left atrium to left ventricle which located at left atrial free wall about 4 cm apart from the coronary sinus orifice. The accessory bundle interruption has been successfully accomplished utilizing the internal open heart technique. The operation consisted of dissection of the atrioventricular fat pad and division of all the superficial fibers going from the ventricle to the annulus. Following this, cryoablation made with cryoprobe at - 60` for 90 seconds. The accessory pathway was successfully ablated without specific problems.

A 21-year-old man with atrioventricular[AV] reentry tachycardia secondary to concealed accessory AV connection underwent surgical division of two accessory pathways following failure of radiofrequency catheter ablation. pathways were located in the left free wall area.Before cardiopulmonary bypass, the epicardial mapping confirmed the existence and localization of two accessory pathways. The patient was approached through a left atriotomy with a dissection of the left free wall area beginning with an internal mapping was carried out after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass to confirm the absence of retrograde conduction of accessory pathway. Five weeks after surgery, the electrophysiololgic study demonstrated no retrograde conduction through two accessory pathways.

Male accessory glands and ejaculatory duct of Drosophila melanogaster are reproductive organs which synthesize secretory seminal proteins. Several products of these organs involved in egg laying, receptivity, and sperm stability or storage were isolated from their lumens. Despite their secretory process play an important role, exocytosis pathway in these organs is not well known. In the present study, we characterized secretory protein profiles and determined their secretory mechanisms. Eight accessory gland secretory proteins and two ejaculatory duct secretory proteins were detected in their lumens. All these proteins were constitutively synthesized in these organs and secreted to their lumens. Secretion of newly synthesized proteins initiated at about 1 h after synthesis, and reached the peak at 4 h after synthesis. It seems that secretion of the proteins may occur via constitutive exocytosis pathway.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of electrophysiologic studies (EPS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) performed in subjects aged less than 30 years with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, particularly pediatric patients under 18 years of age, based on our experience. Methods: Two hundred and one consecutive patients with WPW syndrome were recruited and divided to 3 groups according to age: group 1, 6 to 17 years; group 2, 18 to 29 years; and group 3, 30 to 60 years. The clinical, electrophysiological, and therapeutic data for these patients were evaluated by a retrospective medical record review. Results: A total of 73 (36%) of these patients were <30 years of age. Although there were more males than females in group 2 (male:female, 31:11), there was no sex difference in group 1 (male:female, 16:15). Left accessory pathway was detected less frequently in group 1 (32%, 10/31) than in group 2 (57%, 24/42) and group 3 (63%, 81/128) (P=0.023 and P=0.002, respectively). Conclusion: The present study describes several different electrophysiological characteristics in children and adolescents with WPW syndrome. Therefore, when EPS and RFA are performed in children and adolescence with WPW syndrome, we recommend that these characteristics be considered.

The late-stage doxorubicin biosynthesis pathway acting enzyme (DoxA) from Streptomyces peucetius CYP129A2 exhibited substrate promiscuity towards the stilbene group of compounds such as resveratrol. DoxA along with two accessory enzymes ferrdoxin reductase and ferredoxin from spinach hydroxylated resveratrol at the 3'-position in vitro to produce piceatannol. The product was identified by HPLC-PDA and high-resolution HR-qTOF-ESI/MS analyses in positive mode. The ESI/MS fragments resembled the hydroxylated product of resveratrol.

This paper present a algorithm for determination of the frontal QRS axis. Determination of electrical QRS axis helps In the differential diagnosis of wide QRS tachycardia and of hemiblock and In the localization of an accessory pathway. At first detecting R-point data and S-point data and two data is sumed and this data is determind such as positive or negative. Reference data is calculated by 9-point derivertives that is less affected by noise. Secondly, using data of lead2 calculate a morphology, this value is threshold for executing determination algorithm. This process is main body of this algorithm. As this algorithm have a six pattern of the axis that coded by minnesota ending method, the axis is determined more precisely than any other algorithm using 3 leads and affirm a relation of a axis and hemiblock and tachycardia.

목적 : 좌각차단이나 우심실조율박동과 같은 부정맥을 가진 환자들에서 심근관류는 의미있게 변화한다는 것이 알려져 있다. 비정상적인 심근관류는 심실조기흥분에 의해서도 야기될 수 있다고 알려져 있지만, 그 위치 범위 강도와 부전도로와의 관계는 아직 정립되어 있지 않았다. 이에 WPW 증후군 환자에서 부전도로의 위치와 SPECT상에서 관류양상의 관계에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : WPW 증후군 환자 11명에 대해 Adenosine 99m-Tc MIBI 또는 Tl-201 심근관류 SPECT를 시행하였다, 관류결손은 Fitzpatrick's algorithm을 기초로 한 심전도 또는 전기생리학적검사 및 전극도자 절제술을 이용한 부전도로의 위치와 비교하였다. 결과: 11명의 환자들의 평균 나이는 $39.9{\pm}8.6$세 였고, 비특이적인 흉통을 호소하거나, 증상이 없었다. 11명 모두 관삳동맥의 위험도에 관한 계산도표를 이용하여 관상동맥질환의 확률을 예측했으나 0.1 이하로 위험도가 낮았고 이중 4명은 관상동맥조영술을 시행한 결과 3명은 정상이었고 1명은 관동맥 협착 (50%) 부위의 심근혈류가 정상이었다. 4명의 환자에서 전기생리학적검사 및 전극도자 절제술을 시행하였다. 9명의 가역적 그리고 1명의 비가역적 관류결손이 관찰되었고. 범위는 소에서 대까지 강도는 경도에서 중등도까지 나왔다. 부전도로의 위치가 우외측인 1명은 관류결손이 없었으나, 그 외의 환자들은 다양한 양상을 보였다. 부전도로의 위치가 좌외측인 환자중 1명에 대해 전극도자 절제술을 시행하였고 6주후에 SPECT를 한 결과 시술 전에 있던 관류결손의 범위가 현저하게 감소하였다. 결론: WPW환자에서 심근관류결손은 다양한 범위, 강도 및 위치를 가진다. 거의 대부분의 환자에서 비정상적인 관류결손이 나타났으나, SPECT 소견으로 부전도로의 위치를 특이적으로 예측하기는 어려웠다. 그러므로 WPW증후군 환자에서 심근관류 SPECT의 결과를 주의 깊게 해석해야 한다.

Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity were measured in the atrium of a swine heart. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation in an atrium has rapidly emerged at the treatment of symptomatic reentrant arrhythmia associated with accessory pathway or Atrioventricular (AV) node conduction. The thermal properties of an atrium are definitely necessary for these treatments because, in thermal treatments, conductivity and diffusivity are significant factors in the relationship between the applied RF power and the resulting atrium temperature rise. Thermal properties were measured using a self-heated thermistor probe. Thermistor probes were inserted into the tissue of interest and were used to supply heat within the tissue as well as to monitor the temperature rise in the tissue. The measurements were performed at temperatures of 25, 37, $50^{\circ}C$. Atrium thermal conductivity ranged from 5.17$\pm$0.12 mW/cm$^{\circ}C$ at $25^{\circ}C$ to 5.33$\pm$0.08 mW/cm$^{\circ}C$ at $37^{\circ}C$. Atrium thermal diffusivity ranged from 0.00132$\pm$0.00007$cm^2$/sec at $25^{\circ}C$ to 0.00138$\pm$0.00003 $cm^2$/sec at $50^{\circ}C$. This paper also present the thermal property comparison of both chambers of a heart (ventricle and atria).
