AI Article Synopsis
- * A new treatment approach using heavy ion beams aims to treat ventricular tachycardia from the aortic sinus cusp while reducing damage to surrounding structures like the aortic valve and coronary arteries.
- * The method improves heart function by targeting sympathetic nerve distribution, utilizing a specific imaging technique called I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy.
Article Abstract
Non-invasive radioablation using stereotactic body radiation therapy with X-ray has been proposed as a rescue treatment for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, there are concerns about the occurrence of late valvular or coronary disease. We treated VT originating from the aortic sinus cusp using the Bragg peak principle of a heavy ion beam, minimizing the dose to the aortic valve and coronary artery and providing an anti-arrhythmic effect and cardiac function recovery due to improved sympathetic nerve heterogeneity. We present a method for targeting sympathetic nerve distribution using I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy.

Subclavian Ansae Stimulation on Cardiac Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology in Atrial Fibrillation: A Target for Sympathetic Neuromodulation.

Background: The sympathetic autonomic nervous system plays a major role in arrhythmia development and maintenance. Historical preclinical studies describe preferential increases in cardiac sympathetic tone upon selective stimulation of the subclavian ansae (SA), a nerve cord encircling the subclavian artery.
Objectives: This study sought to define, for the first time, the functional anatomy and physiology of the SA in humans using a percutaneous approach.

The role of autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation in chronic neck pain remains elusive. Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (t-VNS) provides a novel, non-invasive means of potentially mitigating chronic neck pain. This study aimed to assess the effects of ANS modulation on heart rate variability (HRV), pain perception, and neck disability.

The aim of this study was to investigate how ultraviolet B (UVB) light regulates AP-1 expression via the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) in epidermal keratinocytes, which in turn regulates melanin synthesis in melanocytes, thereby modulating downstream melanin production in skin hair follicles and altering mouse skin color. We established a UV-irradiated mouse model to investigate the effects of UV radiation on changes in skin color. By measuring changes in the expression of genes related to cutaneous sympathetic nerves, norepinephrine synthesis and melanin synthesis, we investigated the relationship between β2-AR expression and cutaneous melanogenesis and determined the localization of β2-AR in cells.

Resistant hypertension is defined as office blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg with a mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure of >130/80 mm Hg in patients who are compliant with 3 or more antihypertensive medications. Those who persistently fail pharmaceutical therapy may benefit from interventional treatment, such as renal denervation. Sympathetic nervous activity in the kidney is a known contributor to increased blood pressure because it results in efferent and afferent arteriole vasoconstriction, reduced renal blood flow, increased sodium and water reabsorption, and the release of renin.

The current study aimed to propose a method to directly measure right cervical vagal nerve activity (cVNA) alongside renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in conscious rats. The right cervical vagus nerve was surgically exposed and fitted with a bipolar electrode to record cVNA. A microcatheter was used to administer levobupivacaine to selectively block afferent cVNA.
