Extremely low-frame-rate digital fluoroscopy in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation
2017
Medicine
Preserved Fulltext
Despite the technological advance in 3-dimensional (3D) mapping, radiation exposure during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to be a major concern in both patients and physicians. Previous studies reported substantial radiation exposure (7369-8690 cGy cm 2 ) during AF catheter ablation with fluoroscopic settings of 7.5 frames per second (FPS) under 3D mapping system guidance. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a low-frame-rate fluoroscopy protocol for catheter

... for AF. Retrospective analysis of data on 133 patients who underwent AF catheter ablation with 3-D electro-anatomic mapping at our institute from , fluoroscopy frame rate of 4-FPS was implemented at our institute, which was further decreased to 2-FPS in September 2014. We compared the radiation exposure quantified as dose area product (DAP) and effective dose (ED) between the 4-FPS (n = 57) and 2-FPS (n = 76) groups. The 4 -FPS group showed higher median DAP (599.9 cGy cm 2 ; interquartile range [IR], 371.4-1337.5 cGy cm 2 vs. 392.0 cGy cm 2 ; IR, 289.7-591.4 cGy cm 2 ; P < .01), longer median fluoroscopic time (24.4 min; IR, 17.5-34.9 min vs. 15.1 min; IR, 10.7-20.1 min; P < .01), and higher median ED (1.1 mSv; IR, 0.7-2.5 mSv vs. 0.7 mSv; IR, 0.6-1.1 mSv; P < .01) compared with the 2-FPS group. No major procedure-related complications such as cardiac tamponade were observed in either group. Over follow-up durations of 331 ± 197 days, atrial tachyarrhythmia recurred in 20 patients (35.1%) in the 4-FPS group and in 27 patients (35.5%) in the 2-FPS group (P = .96). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed no significant different between the 2 groups (log rank, P = .25). In conclusion, both the 4-FPS and 2-FPS settings were feasible and emitted a relatively low level of radiation compared with that historically reported for DAP in a conventional fluoroscopy setting.

The initial concentrations of azoxystrobin in Gwangju soil were 9.20, 11.00 mg/kg and decreased to 1.36, 2.70 mg/kg at 43 DAT (days after treatment) in field 1, while 1.06, 2.23 mg/kg decreased to 0.20 and 0.67 mg/kg at 36 DAT in field 2, respectively. The half-lives of azoxystrobin were about 19.4 and 23.3 days for the low and high concentration of azoxystrobin treated soils in field 1 and 11.5 and 17.8 days in field 2 soils, respectively. Residue levels of azoxystrobin in lettuce were not detected in filed 1 and field 2 soils, respectively.

Monitoring protein phosphorylation at the cellular level is important to understand the intracellular signaling. Among the phosphoproteomics methods, phosphokinase antibody arrays have emerged as preferred tools to measure wellcharacterized phosphorylation in the intracellular signaling. Here, we present a dendron-coated phosphokinase antibody array (DPA) in which the antibodies are immobilized on a dendron-coated glass slide. Self-assembly of conically shaped dendrons well-controlled in size

... d structure resulted in precisely controlled lateral spacing between the immobilized phosphosite-specific antibodies, leading to minimized steric hindrance and improved antigen-antibody binding kinetics. These features increased sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility in measured amounts of protein phosphorylation. To demonstrate the utility of the DPA, we generated the phosphorylation profiles of brain tissue samples obtained from Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice. The analysis of the profiles revealed signaling pathways deregulated during the course of AD progression.

... p period was 15.5 and 62.7 months, respectively. The principal symptoms included lack of fixation (69.0%) and nystagmus (23.8%). At first observation, nystagmus was found in 40 patients, and the appearance of the fundi were variable, including 'normal' (23.8%), pigmentary degeneration (54.8%), vascular attenuation (35.7%) and macular coloboma (19.0%). At the age of three to five years, 44.4% of patients had hyperopia greater than +5D. At the time of last follow-up, the visual acuities of the patients who were examined after the age of four were 'hand motion' in 68.7%, 20/400 in 9.4%. No patient had visual acuity better than 20/200. Eight (25%) patients could read with glasses or low-vision aids. Conclusions: The visual prognosis of patients with Leber's congenital amaurosis was poor in most cases, but a majority of our patients displayed a stable clinical course. Progression was rare, and one fourth of the patients were able to read with appropriate aides. In conclusion, regular follow-up care to assess visual function is necessary for optimal outcomes.

The photocatalytic inactivation (PCI) of Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive) was performed using polyoxometalate (POM) as a homogeneous photocatalyst and compared with that of heterogeneous TiO 2 photocatalyst. Aqueous suspensions of the microorganisms (10 7 -10 8 cfu ml À1 ) and POM (or TiO 2 ) were irradiated with black light lamps. The POM-PCI was faster than (or comparable to) TiO 2 -PCI under the experimental conditions employed in this study. The

... efficiency of POM-PCI was species-dependent. Among three POMs (H 3 PW 12 O 40 , H 3 PMo 12 O 40 , and H 4 SiW 12 O 40 ) tested in this study, the inactivation of E. coli was fastest with H 4 SiW 12 O 40 while that of B. subtilis was the most efficient with H 3 PW 12 O 40 . Although the biocidal action of TiO 2 photocatalyst has been commonly ascribed to the role of photogenerated reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxides, the cell death mechanism with POM seems to be different from TiO 2 -PCI. While TiO 2 caused the cell membrane disruption, POM did not induce the cell lysis. When methanol was added to the POM solution, not only the PCI of E. coli was enhanced (contrary to the case of TiO 2 -PCI) but also the dark inactivation was observed. This was ascribed to the in situ production of formaldehyde from the oxidation of methanol. The interesting biocidal property of POM photocatalyst might be utilized as a potential disinfectant technology.

The loss of residual chlorpyrifos in soil and the amount translocated to Korean cabbage were investigated in this study. Field trials with Korean cabbage were carried out in two greenhouses located in Yongin (Field 1) and Gwangju (Field 2). Soil and Korean cabbage samples were collected on different days following the treatment of soil with chlorpyrifos at two different rates. The initial amounts of residue in soil were 1.15 and 3.58 mg/kg, and these decreased to 0.22 and 0.49 mg/kg at 36 days

... fter treatment (DAT) in Field 1. These values were 20.9 and 59.3 mg/kg, decreasing to 3.03 and 5.24 mg/kg at 43 DAT in Field 2, respectively. In Field 1, the half-life of chlorpyrifos was approximately 15.0 and 10.2 days in soil treated with 0.12 and 0.24 g a.i./m 2 , respectively. In Field 2, the half-life of chlorpyrifos was approximately 27.7 and 9.6 days following application of 0.36 and 0.72 g a.i./m 2 , respectively. When compared with the initial concentration in soil, the absorption ratio of chlorpyrifos residue to Korean cabbage was 0.93-6.01 and 0.57-2.61%, respectively. Therefore, safe management guidelines for chlorpyrifos in soil used to cultivate Korean cabbage may be suggested as 3.3 mg/kg regarding the maximum residue limit of chlorpyrifos on Korean cabbage (0.2 mg/kg).

The elderly have been considered as the priority group for influenza vaccination, but their influenza vaccine-induced antibody was believed to decline more rapidly. Long-term immunogenicity of the influenza vaccine among the elderly was evaluated as compared to young adults. Serum hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) titers were determined at pre-and post-vaccination periods (at 1, 6, and 12 months after vaccination). Of the 1018 subjects, 716 (70.3%) were followed up during a 12-month period.

At 6 months post-vaccination, seroprotection rates for all three strains had declined significantly in adults ≥65 years (P < 0.01), but still met the EMEA criteria. Low pre-vaccination HI titer (<1:40) and advanced age were associated with early decline of HI titers, falling below seroprotective levels around 6 months after vaccination.

Background: As a result of the focus on vital functions in patients with brain damage, dermatological symptoms are often overlooked during their period of admission to hospital. However, patients with brain damage are more likely to have dermatological diseases than the general population and other inpatients for various reasons, including immobilization, treatment with multiple drugs, long-term hospitalization, and their immunocompromised status. Objectives: The purposes of this study were:

... to analyze the frequency and characteristics of dermatological consultations among patients who were admitted to hospital as a result of brain damage; and (2) to compare these findings with other reports about inpatient dermatological consultations. Methods: We analyzed data for 240 patients with brain damage who attended our department of dermatology between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011. The total numbers of male and female patients were 132 (55%) and 108 (45%), respectively (male to female ratio 1.22:1). We retrospectively reviewed medical records, demographic information, reason for dermatological consultation, and the diagnosis of the dermatoses. Results: The age group most frequently seen was patients in the 7 th decade of life and the most common underlying brain injury was traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The mean AE standard deviation score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was 6.8 AE 3.0. When the levels of brain damage of the patients were classified using the GCS, 68.3% of the patients were in the severe (GCS 8) category. The most common skin disorders were seborrheic dermatitis (17.9%), followed by mycoses (15.5%), and drug-induced skin eruption (13.2%). Conclusion: The characteristics of dermatological consultations in patients with brain damage may be different from those of other inpatients attending dermatological clinics. The analysis of dermatological disorders in patients with brain damage can assist in understanding the "braineskin connection".

Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) are common in clinical practice. However, the clinical significance of SHT, including prognosis, has not been established. Further clarifying SHT will be critical in devising a management plan and treatment guidelines for SHT patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors of SHT. We reviewed the medical records of Korean patients who visited the endocrinology outpatient clinic of Severance Hospital from January 2008

... to September 2012. Newly-diagnosed patients with SHT were selected and reviewed retrospectively. We compared two groups: the SHT maintenance group and the spontaneous improvement group. The SHT maintenance group and the spontaneous improvement group had initial thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels that were significantly different (P=0.035). In subanalysis for subjects with TSH levels between 5 to 10 µIU/mL, the spontaneous improvement group showed significantly lower antithyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO-Ab) titer than the SHT maintenance group (P=0.039). Regarding lipid profiles, only triglyceride level, unlike total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, was related to TSH level, which is correlated with the severity of SHT. Diffuse thyroiditis on ultrasonography only contributed to the severity of SHT, not to the prognosis. High sensitivity C-reactive protein and urine iodine excretion, generally regarded as possible prognostic factors, did not show any significant relation with the prognosis and severity of SHT. Only initial TSH level was a definite prognostic factor of SHT. TPO-Ab titer was also a helpful prognostic factor for SHT in cases with mildly elevated TSH. Other than TSH and TPO-Ab, we were unable to validate biochemical prognostic factors in this retrospective study for Korean SHT patients.
