Objective To study the effect of RF catheter ablation of verapamil-sensitive idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia according to the re-entrant route mapped during electrophysiologic test. Methods 6 patients (4 male & 2 female) suffered from the ioliopathic left venticulan tachycondia (ILVT). After placing the catheter in the right ventricular apex and the coronary sinus, a radiofrequency (RF) catheter and a octapolar catheter (mapping catheter) with an interval of 2-8-2 min were introduced through the right and left femoral arteries. The mapping catheter recorded the His potential (HP), the left bundle potential (LBP), the left posterior fascicle Purkinje potential (PP) and V electrogram sequentially, PP was the first potential to be detected with the RF catheter during TV, we searched for the earliest PP recording site near the couple of electrodes of the mapping catheter recording PP and ablated it. Results In the first 3 cases, ablation didn′t have effect at sites recording the earliest V electrogram without PP and it was finally successful at the sites recording the earliest PP. Since the fourth case all patients needed only one application because ablation was carried out only at the site recorded the earliest PP. Patients have been followed for 6-20 months without antiarrhythmic drugs, and none of them has had a recurrence of VT. Conclusion The mapping on the left ventricular septum is not only important to study the reentrant route in ILVT, but also helpful for clinical treatment of ILVT. It shortens the operation time and minimizes injury of cardiac muscle due to noneffective ablation.

AIM To investigate whether there is vasodilator nerve innervation in rat hind limb and what the nature of vasodilator nerve is. METHODS Wistar rats were treated with reserpine 1 mg?kg -1 ip at 24 h before experiment. The rats were pithed and the hind limb vascular bed was perfused with Krebs-Henseleite solution containing 1 mmol?L -1 phenylephrine at 2 ml?min -1 speed. The hind limb perfused pressure (HPP) as a main index was continuously recorded. Spinal cord electrical stimulation (SES) was repeatedly applied via an electrode at L 1~2 level of lumber vertebra. The various tool drugs were administered by iv or infusion by added to persusion solution. The data is expressed as decrease percentages of HPP increased by continuous infusion of phenylephrine. RESULTS HPP was increased from (5 7?1 5) to (21 6?3 7) kPa ( n =37) after phenylephrine perfusion. SES caused a fall of HPP in frequency dependent and voltage dependent manner. An optimum parameters of SES (10 Hz, 50 V and 1 msec) was selected to observe effects of various tool drugs on depressor response of HPP to SES. Tetrotodoxin (0 3 ?mol?L -1 ) abolished the effect completely. L NAME (10 ?mol?L -1 ), a NO synthase inhibitor, had no effect. Ganglion blocker arfonad (110 mg?kg -1 , iv, M R blocker atropine (10 ?mol?L -1 ), ? receptor blocker propranolol (1 ?mol?L -1 ) and P 1 receptor blocker aminophylline (10 ?mol?L -1 ) had also no effect. Glibenclamide (0 1 mmol?L -1 ), an ATP sensitive K + channel blocker, markedly abolished and slightly reversed the effect. CONCLUTION The nonadrenergic noncholinergic vasodilator nerve exists in rat hind limb and is not nitroxidergic or purinergic nerve. This nerve may be peptidergic nerve which releases some peptide such as CGRP and the major mechanism of vasodilatation probably activates the ATP sensitive K + channel.

A thermal desorption ( TD) device was developed and coupled to gas chromatography ( GC) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry ( GC-MS ) for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds on atmospheric particulate matters ( PM ) . The TD was operated by direct heating and placed on the GC injector, leading to high heating rate and easy transfer of analytes to GC without focusing of analytes by cold trap. For establishing the TD-GC method, the materials used for supporting PM samples, temperature and time of thermal desorption, and types of sample injection were investigated for detection of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs) and nine n-alkanes. The limits of detection of the proposed TD-GC method were in the range of 0. 014-0. 093 ng for PAHs, and 0. 016-0. 026 ng for n-alkanes, respectively, with the correlation coefficients of correlation above 0. 9975. The TD-GC method was applied to the determination of trace PAHs and n-alkanes on PM10 samples from three cities. The recoveries were in the range of 95%-135% ( PAHs) and 95%-115% ( n-alkanes) , respectively. Finally, the TD was coupled to GC-MS for comparison of the contents of PAHs and n-alkanes on PMx with different particulate size ( x=10 , 5, 2, 1, 0. 5, 0. 25, 0. 1).
