    Notes: This study was designed to evaluate several alternative ECG measurements and provocative tests in order to identify markers for children with suspect congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS).〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉BackgroundA single QTc measurement on a resting ECG does not identify all children with LQTS. Alternative ECG measurements have been established for identification of LQTS patients, with varied degrees of accuracy. Additionally, findings of QT prolongation during exercise or catecholaminergic stimulation have been suggested as indicators for the presence of LQTS and associated arrhythmias.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉MethodsThe ECGs from 40 children with suspect congenital LQTS were compared with 1000 gender and age matched control patients. Complete exercise ECG studies were performed on 32 of the 40 suspect LQTS patients and compared with 29 controls. ECGs recorded during isoproterenol infusion were obtained in 9 suspect LQTS patients and compared with 44 matched control subjects.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉ResultsDuring exercise, the QTc was mildly prolonged in both groups, without a similar increase in JTc, suggesting prolongation of depolarization time. QT and JT dispersion shortened with exercise in control subjects, but not in the suspect LQTS patients. During isoproterenol infusion, the QTc and JTc are prolonged in the suspect LQTS group, without an increase in the control patients.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionsWe describe the ECG findings with provocative testing in patients in whom there is a clinical suspicion of LQTS, yet have a normal or borderline QTc. Exercise or isoproterenol may aid in identification of patients with congenital long QT syndrome.

    Notes: Multisite Ventricular Pacing in Heart Failure. Introduction: We studied the effects on cardiac function of pacing two right and two left ventricular sites in normal and failing hearts with a normal QRS duration. Methods and Results: Hemodynamic parameters were studied in isoflurane-anesthetized dogs with normal hearts and dogs with heart failure induced by rapid ventricular pacing. Unipolar intramyocardial electrodes were placed at the high right atrium and the apex (A) and base (B) of the left (L) and right (R) ventricles (V). Data were collected after pacing for 5 to 20 minutes. In normal dogs, without bundle branch block (BBB), pacing at either the apex or the base of the left ventricle increased cardiac output by approximately 10% compared with right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing with an AV delay of 10 msec. Positive dP/dt increased approximately 10% during four-site left and right ventricular apex and base (LRVAB) pacing compared with RVA pacing. In dogs with heart failure but without BBB, cardiac output increased by 8.5% (P 〈 0.01) during four-site ventricular pacing with AV delays of 0 and 60 msec compared with RVA pacing. Positive dp/dt increased by 23.5% (P 〈 0.001) with an AV delay of 0 msec and 9.6% (P 〈 0.001) with an AV delay of 60 msec during LRVAB pacing compared with RVA pacing. His-bundle pacing was associated with increased cardiac output compared with RVA pacing. Conclusions: We conclude that pacing simultaneously at two right and two left ventricular sites significantly improves cardiac function compared with single RVA pacing, with or without sequential AV synchrony, in dogs with rapid ventricular pacing-induced heart failure and no BBB.

    Notes: Successful crossing experiments between tetraploid individuals of Achillea ceretanica, A. collina, A. distans ssp. styriaca, and A. pratensis (A. millefolium complex, Compositae) were carried out. Sesquiterpenes of 1013 hybrid plants obtained from 13 crossings were studied by qualitative thin layer chromatography (TLC). F1-progenies from parent plants with guaianolides (GU-type), as well as the offspring of a back-cross, uniformly contained proazulenes. Diallel crosses between plants exclusively with eudesmanolides (EU-type) resulted in a 7:1 segregation-ratio of EU- and GU-plants. Two reciprocal crossing experiments between EU- and GU-parents resulted in 28.6% and 89.3% EU-individuals, as well as GU-offspring. According to these findings, the qualitative marker ‘proazulene’ (GU-type) is thought to be a recessive character of the tetraploid Achillea species studied.

    Notes: Abstract An increased abdominal fat mass is regarded as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. In this cross-sectional study of 1099 men we found a significant positive association between alcohol intake and the waist/hip (W/H) ratio, an index for the abdominal fat mass. This relationship was independent of age and body weight. The results suggest that the risk of abdominal fat deposition could be minimized by a reduction of alcohol intake.

    QT and JT Dispersion in Children with Long QT Syndrome (1997)

    Notes: QT and JT Dispersion in Long QT Syndrome. Introduction: Abnormalities of ventricular repolarization leading to ventricular arrhythmias place children with long QT syndrome at high risk for sudden death. Dispersion of the QT (QTd) and JT (JTd) intervals, as markers of cardiac electrical heterogeneity, may be helpful in evaluating children with long QT syndrome and identifying a subset of patients at high risk for development of critical ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia, torsades de pointes, and/or cardiac arrest).Methods and Results: The QTd and JTd intervals in 39 children with long QT syndrome were compared to those of 50 normal age-matched children. In the long QT syndrome group, QTd measured 81 ± 70 msec compared to 28 ± 14 msec in the control group (P 〈 0.05), and JTd in the long QT syndrome group was 80 ± 69 msec compared to 25 ± 15 msec in the control group (P 〈 0.05).Conclusion: Children with long QT syndrome have an increased QTd and JTd when compared to normal controls. A QTd or JTd ≥ 55 msec correlates with the presence of critical ventricular arrhythmias. These ECG measures of dispersion can be useful in stratifying children with the long QT syndrome who are at higher risk for developing critical ventricular arrhythmias.

    Notes: Objectives: To report our experience using low temperature and energy in the modification of the slow pathway in pediatric patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. Background: A concern in performing a slow pathway modification is the possible damage of the normal AV conduction system. Lesion size has been shown to have a linear relationship with temperature. Previous reports have used energy of 25–50 W that generate temperatures of 60C°–70°C for successful procedures. Methods: Report of results of attempted AV nodal slow pathway modification in 17 consecutive pediatric patients 〈 15 years of age at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from April 1995 to November 1997 using low temperature and energy. Results: There were 18 successful slow pathway modifications with 1 recurrence in 17 patients. The maximum energy used during successful lesions was 32.7 ± 13.8 W (range 15–50 W) with a mean energy of 26.4 ± 13.3 W (range 12–48 W). The peak temperature during these lesions was 55.1°C ± 4.1°C (range 48°C–64°C) with a mean temperature of 47.9°C ± 2.7°C (range 44°C–54°C). The mean number of radiofrequency lesions required for a successful modification was 5.8 ± 6.7 (median 4.0, range 1–26). Patients have been followed for 2.08 ± 0.79 years. Conclusions: Slow pathway modification can be performed successfully with a low incidence of recurrence in the pediatric patient using low energy and temperature. It is possible that this may lead to smaller lesions.

    Notes: Superscrew dislocations are visible in back-reflection synchrotron white-beam X-ray topographs of basal-cut SiC wafers in striking contrast as black rings surrounding white circles, even though such topographs suffer from extensive harmonic contamination. The contributions to the synchrotron white-beam topograph of each member of its series of harmonic reflections, {\bf g}=(0006n), where n=3 to 16, were calculated. Through intensity considerations and comparison with a {\bf g}=00018 topograph taken with Cu Kα1 radiation, the {\bf g}=00024 harmonic was determined to be the most important contributor. The contrast of features lying deep beneath the crystal's surface was attributed to higher harmonics with larger penetration depths.

    Notes: A kinematic (geometrical) diffraction simulation model has been developed to provide understanding of direct dislocation images on synchrotron white-beam X-ray topographs, and has been successfully applied to illustrate the contrast formation mechanisms involved in images of micropipe-related superscrew dislocations in silicon carbide crystals. The coincidence of the simulations with the contrast features of the superscrew dislocation images, recorded using a series of synchrotron topography techniques, shows that this model is capable of revealing the detailed diffraction behavior of the highly distorted region around the dislocation core and determining the quantitative characteristics of the dislocations. The simulation technique is thus demonstrated to be a simple but efficient method for interpretation of synchrotron topographs, and may be applied to explain the topographic contrast characters of general crystal defects.

    Notes: RCC1, the regulator of chromosome condensation, is the guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) of the GTP-binding protein Ran. Its GEF activity on Ran makes it a key element in nucleo-cytoplasmic transport and cell-cycle regulation. Crystals of human RCC1 suitable for X-ray analysis have been obtained using the seeding technique in hanging drops with sodium citrate as a precipitant. The crystals diffract to 1.7 Å at 100 K and belong to the space group P1, with unit-cell parameters a = 49.5, b = 84.3, c = 84.9 Å, α = 113.0, β = 103.9,γ = 103.3°. The Matthews parameter (Vm) and the self-rotation function are consistent with three molecules in the unit cell, which is confirmed by the averaged single isomorphous replacement (SIR) electron-density map.
