Para-Hisian accessory pathway (AP) means the AP locate about 0. 5cm above or under the His bundle. To identify the AP location,the big tip catheter mapping must be under sinus rhythm,ventricular pacing and inducing SVT in order to avoid injury of His bundle. During ablation process, the surface morphology and juctional escape rhythm must be observed. If RF must be done under ventricular pacing, once ablating effect is confirmed,the pacing would be stopped and escape rhythm can be observed. If ante-grade condution are always through AP in SVT and endocardial mapping are confirmed multipe APs and AVN are bystander in SVT, we do not exclude abmormal growth in AVN. It can be ablated retrograde AP to treat SVT and should be avoided to ablate antigrade AP.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of statin on carotid plaque stability in elderly patients assessed by K trans (the combination of E and F) of dynamic contrast material enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (DCE MR) imaging.Methods 37 elderly patients with carotid artery of low echo or mixed echo plaque in carotid artery patches were screened by B type ultrasound.According to the standard of 2011 ESC/EAS guidelines,all patients were divided into two groups:normal level of LDL-C group achieving LDL-C target and high level of LDL C group not achieving target of LDLC.Plaque area and size of lipid-rich necrotic core were measured by 3.0T enhancement magnetic resonance,and K trans was measured by DCE-MR dynamic contrast material enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.and serum hs-C-reactive protein level was detected within 1 week.Results Plaque area,size of lipid-rich necrotic core,ratio of lipoid core over plaque area,K trans and serum level of hs-CRP were less in normal LDL-C level group than in high LDL-C level group [(2.06±0.45) mm2 vs.(3.63±0.62) mm2,(0.52±0.05) mm2 vs.(1.49±0.01) mm2,2 cases (11.8％) vs.14 cases (70.0％),(0.041±0.009) min1 vs.(0.079±0.011) min-1,(1.60±0.27) mmol/L vs.(2.80 ± 0.34),all P＜0.05].Linear regression analysis revealed that there was no significant correlations of K trans with the size of lipid necrotic core (r=0.19,P＞0.05) and hs-CRP (r=0.23,P＞0.05).Conclusions Dynamic contrast material enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a quantitative method assaying atheromatous plaque components; K trans may be a new indicator to measure the stability of plaques; Statin can stabilize plaques through inhibiting the proliferation of Vasa vasorum in plaque angiogenesis,anti-inflammatory and reducing the size of lipidrich necrotic core.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of adiponectin in early atherosclerosis and the diagnostic value of adiponectin in metabolic syndrome in obese children. Methods Total 176 obese children and 88 normal weight children aged 9-12 years were included in the present study. All participants underwent hematologic and biochemical tests including serum adiponectin, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP),fasting blood glucose, insulin, and plasma lipids. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)was calculated. Noninvasive ultrasound measurement including intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery(IMT), brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), carotid artery compliance (CAC), and the maximum fatthickness ahead of peritoneum (Pmax) were obtained to investigate arterial mechanical properties and endothelial function. Results (1) The level of adiponectin was negatively correlated with obese index, blood pressure,fasting insulin, hsCRP, HOMA-IR, and IMT(P<0.05 or P<0. 01 ); but not with triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, CAC, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and FMD. (2) The risk of metabolic syndrome increased 3.43 times in children with adiponectin level <7. 060 mg/L compared with ＞7. 060 mg/L. (3)Receiver operating characteristic( ROC ) curve was used to choose the optimal cutpoint of adiponectin to identify obese children with the metabolic syndrome. The area under the curve (AUC) for adiponectin to discriminate the sensitivity of metabolic syndrome was 0. 769 (95% CI0. 714-0.816, P< 0. 0 1 ). (4) The obese children were divided into three groups according to the cut-off value for adiponectin (high, middle, low groups). There were significant differences in the prevalences of severe obesity, visceral fat accumulation, hypertension, insulinemia,low HDL-C, metabolic syndrome among three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions High levels of serum adiponectin could prevent early stage of atherosclerosis. The lower the adiponectin level, the higher the incidence of metabolic syndrome.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound Doppler renal blood flow measurement in diagnosing early renal damage of hypertension. Methods:Eighty patients with hypertension and 20 normotensive subjects were included in this study. They were classified into four groups according to blood or urine β2-MG contents and urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER). All patients were measured by ultrasound Doppler renal blood flow. Correlation analysis was performed between β2-MG or UAER and the parameters of renal blood flow measurement. Results:(1)Peak velocity in systole(Vs)、end diastolic velocity(Vd) decreased and pulsed index(PI)、resistance index(RI) of segmental and interlobar artery increased in all hypertensives with early renal damage. PI of interlobar artery more than 1.00 and/or RI more than 0.60 is associated with early renal damage in hypertensives;(2)Hypertensives with diabetes and early renal damage have higher Vs and lower Vd and significant increased RI、PI. Compared with hypertensives with early renal damage，hypertensives with diabetes had more serious renal damage at the equivalent DBP level. Conclusion:Ultrasound Doppler renal blood flow measurement may be clinically useful in the noninvasive evaluation of early renal damage of hypertension.

AIM: To investigate the potassium channel gene expression of myocardial sleeves of pulmonary vein and effects of amiodarone on rabbits with rapid atrial pacing.METHODS: Rabbits were divided into three groups(n=10),(1) the control group with sham operation and placebo;(2) the right atrial pacing(RAP) group at 600 beats/min with the placebo;(3) the amiodarone group treated for seven days with oral amiodarone at 100 mg ? kg-1 ? d-1.Based on RAP simultaneously,the messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA) of specimen was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: Compared with the control group,Kv4.3(transient outward K+ current,Ito1) mRNA expression in RAP group was reduced by 51%(P
