The occurrence of atrial fibillation during an electrophysiologic study or catheter ablation in patients with accessory pathways is a common problem and sometimes complicates the localization and ablation procedure of accessory pathways. In patients with sustained atrial fibrillation, it is often time-consuming to terminate atrial fibrillation by drugs or electrical cardioversion. We performed successful radiofrequency catheter ablation in a patient with right-sided accessory pathway during atrial fibrillation requiring repeated electrical cardioversion. The target site was determined by activation mapping and morphology of unipolar electrogram at a site of early ventricular activation.

The long QT syndrome is believed to result from abnormalities of cardiac sympathetic innervation and of myocardial repolarization. The therapeutic modalities for patients with ventricular arrhythmias due to the long QT syndrome include beta blocker, cardiac sympathetic denervation, pacemaker and ICD implantation. Recently, we underwent transvenous ICD implantation in a patient with this syndrome who had recurrent syncopal episodes due to rapid polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and strong family history of sudden death.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the pre-operative and the intra-operative factors including marginal fibrosis affecting the result of vitrectomy for macular hole. METHODS: The medical records of the patient who had been operated for idiopathic full-thickness macular hole from January 1997 to July 2000 were investigated retrospectively. RESULTS: Hole closure, as the implication of anatomical success, was seen in 28 eyes (84.8%) at 1 month after surgery and 23 eyes (69.7%) at the end of follow-up period. And the improvement of two or more Snellen line, as the implication of functional success, was seen in 17 eyes (51.5%). The smaller size of the hole was well correlated with higher rate of anatomical success (P=0.001). And there was a good correlation of higher anatomic success rate with the lack of marginal fibrosis around the hole (P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There must be more efforts and investigations on proper management of marginal fibrosis, which might help to improve the result of macular hole surgery.

"Capsaicin, the pungent principle of hot peppers, is a neurotoxin that depletes primary sensory neurons of neuropeptides like tachykinin. The objectives of these experiment was to examine the effects of capsaicin on Salmonel/a typhimurium-induced production of cytokines such as TNF-a, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12 and on production of nitric oxide in peritoneal macrophages. In addition, the effects of capsaicin on survival rates of S. typhimurium-infected mice and on nuclear transcription factor (NF-kB) activation were also investigated. Mice were pretreated with a single s.c. injection of 100 ug of capsaicin and were infected i.v. with S. typhimurium (5xO5/mouse) in 0.2 ml volume after capsaicin pretreatment. The serum cytokine levels were measured 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min after Salmonella infection, using ELISA kits. The activation of NF-B was also examined by gel shift assay in spleens, thymuses and brains of mice that had been pretreated with a single s.c. injection of 100 ug of capsaicin. It was found that Sa/mone/la infection induced the production of TNF-a, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-12, but capsaicin pretreatment inhibited the production of TNF-a, IL-1B, IL-10 and IL-12, but enhanced IL-6 production 120 min after Salmonella infection. Interestingly, the capsaicin pretreatment inhibited the activation of NF-kB in spleens and thymuses. There were no differences in the numbers of bacteria in livers, brains, spleens, kidneys and lungs between capsaicin- pretreated mice and the control animals in applied experimental conditions. Suprisingly, however, capsaicin pretreatment increased both the survival rates of Sa/mone//a-infected mice and production of nitric oxide by peritoneal macrophages compared with capsaicin-untreated control mice. Taken together, these results indicate that the capsaicin-sensitive primary sensory neurons may play an important modulatory role in the production of cytokine, nitric oxide and NF-B activation and the pathogenesis of salmonellosis."

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a relatively rare condition. The disorder almost always involves a single joint and the knee is most commonly affected. We report on three cases of localized PVNS that involved the patella fat pad and synovium. Diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopies were performed, and typical findings of localized PVNS were found. Complete resection of the lesions were performed arthroscopically. Arthroscopy can be used as an effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool for identification and resection of intraarticular localized PVNS of the knee.
