Background: Our previous research and other studies with radiotracers showed evidence of a centripetal drainage pathway, separate from blood or lymphatic vessels, that can be visualized when a small amount of low molecular weight tracer is injected subcutaneously into a given region on skin of humans. In order to further characterize this interesting biological phenomenon, animal experiments are designed to elucidate histological and physiologic characteristics of these visualized pathways.
Methods: Multiple tracers are injected subcutaneously into an acupuncture point of KI3 to visualize centripetal pathways by magnetic resonance imaging or fluorescein photography in 85 healthy rabbits.
Background: Since the 1980s, many studies have indicated there are hypodermic migration channels of radiotracer along meridians independent of lymphatic and blood vessels in vivo. However, the radioactive trajectories were not clear enough to identify the anatomic structures in the living body.
Objectives: To establish an alternative method to image the specific fluid pathways, we hypothesized that a minimal amount of low molecular weight tracer could enter the specific channels and by magnetic resonance imaging technique, we could image the regional channels originating from the acupoints on 6 yin meridians of forearm and lower leg.

Objective: To investigate the effect of anti-atrial fibrillation of Philos DDDR pacemaker on atrial tachyarrhythmia.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients with sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) were implanted with Philos DDDR pacemaker. After implantation, auto-Mode-Switch (AMS) function was switched "on" and AF preventive algorithms were "off" in all cases.
