Long QT syndrome is characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval and a morphological change in the T wave on an electrocardiogram. Prolongation of the QT interval is associated with serious arrhythmia and may cause syncope and sudden death. A 13-year-old male with a prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) on a preoperative electrocardiogram was scheduled to undergo the extractation of a supernumerary tooth under general anesthesia.
Although he had no remarkable past medical history, his QTc was prolonged to 514 ms on a 12-lead electrocardiogram. There was no history of syncope or sudden death in his family. The QTc at the time of his entrance into the operation room was 483 ms. During surgery, his QTc was continuously monitored in addition to the usual intraoperative monitoring. After the rapid introduction of anesthesia with remifentanil and propofol, the anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil and sevoflurane in oxygen and air. No significant change in the QTc was observed at the time of tracheal intubation accompanied by sympathetic stimulation. There was also no significant change in the QTc after the administration of atropine for bradycardia. However, when 2% lidocaine containing adrenaline was used for local anesthesia, the QTc gradually became prolonged reaching a maximum of 507 ms. In patients with a prolonged QT interval on a preoperative electrocardiogram, careful attention may be needed during the use of local anesthetics containing adrenaline. In addition, continuous monitoring of the QTc during surgery may be useful for the prevention of serious arrhythmias.

The Q525X mutant protein lacks the C-terminal 66 amino acids required for GADD34 to bind to and activate protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). We investigated the effects of GADD34 with or without the Q525X mutation on the phosphorylation status of PP1 target proteins, including the subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). CHO-K1-G34M cells had higher levels of eIF2 phosphorylation compared to the control CHO-K1-normal cells both in the presence and absence of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Overexpression of the wild-type GADD34 protein in CHO-K1-normal cells largely reduced eIF2 phosphorylation, while overexpression of the Q525X mutant did not produce similar reductions. Meanwhile, neither wild type nor Q525X mutation of GADD34 affected the GSK3 phosphorylation status. GADD34 also did not affect the canonical Wnt signaling pathway downstream of GSK3. Cell proliferation rates were higher, while expression levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 were lower in CHO-K1-G34M cells compared to the CHO-K1-normal cells. The GADD34 Q525X mutant had a reduced ability to inhibit cell proliferation and enhance p21 expression of the CHO-K1-normal cells compared to the wild-type GADD34 protein. These results suggest that the GADD34 protein C-terminal plays important roles in regulating not only eIF2 dephosphorylation but also cell proliferation in CHO-K1 cells.","ja":"GADD34 is a member of a growth arrest and DNA damage (GADD)-inducible gene family.

CHO-K1-G34M cells had higher levels of eIF2 phosphorylation compared to the control CHO-K1-normal cells both in the presence and absence of endoplasmic reticulum stress. Overexpression of the wild-type GADD34 protein in CHO-K1-normal cells largely reduced eIF2 phosphorylation, while overexpression of the Q525X mutant did not produce similar reductions. Meanwhile, neither wild type nor Q525X mutation of GADD34 affected the GSK3 phosphorylation status. GADD34 also did not affect the canonical Wnt signaling pathway downstream of GSK3. Cell proliferation rates were higher, while expression levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 were lower in CHO-K1-G34M cells compared to the CHO-K1-normal cells. The GADD34 Q525X mutant had a reduced ability to inhibit cell proliferation and enhance p21 expression of the CHO-K1-normal cells compared to the wild-type GADD34 protein. These results suggest that the GADD34 protein C-terminal plays important roles in regulating not only eIF2 dephosphorylation but also cell proliferation in CHO-K1 cells."},"publication_date":"2016-01","publication_name":{"en":"Cell Stress & Chaperones","ja":"Cell Stress & Chaperones"},"volume":"Vol.21","number":"No.1","starting_page":"29","ending_page":"40","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1007/s12192-015-0633-9"],"issn":["1466-1268"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=318245","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Role of transesophageal echocardiography during biventricular pacemaker implantation in children","ja":"Role of transesophageal echocardiography during biventricular pacemaker implantation in children"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Kakuta Nami"},{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Mita Naoji"},{"name":"Soga Tomohiro"},{"name":"Katayama Toshiko"},{"name":"Fukuta Kohei"},{"name":"Kawano Hiroaki"},{"name":"Tada Fumihiko"},{"name":"Yasuo M.

Etomidate (> or = 10 m), but not midazolam (up to 10 m), inhibited the levcromakalim-induced vasodilation, which was sensitive to glibenclamide (IC50: 7.21 x 10 m; maximum inhibitory concentration: 1.22 x 10 m). Etomidate (> or = 3 x 10 m), but not midazolam (up to 10 m), inhibited the native KATP channel activity in both cell-attached and inside-out configurations with IC50 values of 1.68 x 10 m and 1.52 x 10 m, respectively. Etomidate (10 m) also inhibited the activity of various types of recombinant SUR/Kir6.0KATP channels, Kir6.2DeltaC36 channels, and Kir6.2DeltaC36-K185Q channels with equivalent potency. Clinical concentrations of etomidate, but not midazolam, inhibit the KATP channel activity in vascular smooth muscle cells. The inhibition is presumably through its effects on the Kir6.0 subunit, but not on the SUR subunit, with the binding site different from adenosine triphosphate at the amino acid level."},"publication_date":"2007-05","publication_name":{"en":"Anesthesiology","ja":"Anesthesiology"},"volume":"Vol.106","number":"No.3","starting_page":"515","ending_page":"522","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1097/00000542-200703000-00016"],"issn":["0003-3022"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/40007339804/","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16856550","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1520853832758320896/","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=163091","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Usefulness of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography in stent graft implantation for thoracic descending aorta","ja":"胸部下行大動脈ステントグラフト留置術における術中経食道心エコーの有用性"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Katayama Tosiko"},{"name":"新田 一仁"},{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Tanaka Katsuya"},{"name":"松本 幸久"},{"name":"土井 俊彦"},{"name":"Kitahata Hiroshi"},{"name":"Oshita Shuzo"}],"ja":[{"name":"片山 俊子"},{"name":"新田 一仁"},{"name":"川人 伸次"},{"name":"田中 克哉"},{"name":"松本 幸久"},{"name":"土井 俊彦"},{"name":"北畑 洋"},{"name":"大下 修造"}]},"description":{"en":"Stent graft implantation for thoracic descending aorta is a promising alternative to open repair.

Inhibitory effects of local anesthetics on KATP channels in the cardiovascular system are (1) stereoselective: bupivacaine was more potent than levobupivacaine and ropivacaine; and (2) tissue specific: local anesthetics blocked cardiac KATP channels more potently than vascular KATP channels, via the intracellular pore mouth of the Kir6.0 subunit and the 42 amino acids at the C-terminal tail of the SUR2A subunit, respectively."},"publication_date":"2004-08","publication_name":{"en":"Anesthesiology","ja":"Anesthesiology"},"volume":"Vol.101","number":"No.2","starting_page":"390","ending_page":"398","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1097/00000542-200408000-00020"],"issn":["0003-3022"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15232807","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=90660","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Risk factors for perioperative myocardial ischemia in carotid artery endarterectomy.","ja":"Risk factors for perioperative myocardial ischemia in carotid artery endarterectomy."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Kitahata Hiroshi"},{"name":"Tanaka Katsuya"},{"name":"Nozaki Junpei"},{"name":"Oshita Shuzo"}],"ja":[{"name":"川人 伸次"},{"name":"北畑 洋"},{"name":"田中 克哉"},{"name":"野﨑 淳平"},{"name":"大下 修造"}]},"description":{"en":"To identify variables associated with perioperative myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing carotid artery endarterectomy (CEA).

Two trend variables were recorded: the QRS vector difference, which reflects changes in the shape of the QRS complex; and the ST vector magnitude, which represents deflection of the ST segment from the isoelectric level. The ST segment deflection was measured 60 ms after termination of the QRS complex. Vectorcardiography was successfully recorded in all 21 patients. Three patients showed intraoperative vectorcardiogram abnormalities. In one of these three patients, both ST vector magnitude and QRS vector difference increased after induction of anaesthesia and ST vector magnitude returned to baseline after administration of nitroglycerin. In the other two patients, both ST vector magnitude and QRS vector difference gradually increased after cross-clamping of the internal carotid artery and ST vector magnitude returned to baseline after unclamping. QRS vector difference remained elevated for several hours in all three patients. Monitoring ST vector magnitude and QRS vector difference by vectorcardiography may be useful for identifying myocardial ischaemia during carotid endarterectomy."},"publication_date":"2003-02","publication_name":{"en":"British Journal of Anaesthesia","ja":"British Journal of Anaesthesia"},"volume":"Vol.90","number":"No.2","starting_page":"142","ending_page":"147","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1093/bja/aeg031"],"issn":["0007-0912"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12492796","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=90789","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution on ventriculoarterial coupling in dogs.","ja":"Effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution on ventriculoarterial coupling in dogs."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Nozaki Junpei"},{"name":"Kitahata Hiroshi"},{"name":"Tanaka Katsuya"},{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Oshita Shuzo"}],"ja":[{"name":"野﨑 淳平"},{"name":"北畑 洋"},{"name":"田中 克哉"},{"name":"川人 伸次"},{"name":"大下 修造"}]},"description":{"en":"Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) causes a decrease in systemic vascular resistance.

Gastrothoracic ventricular pacing (GVP) was performed at 100 bpm at 30- or 50-ms pulse duration. Transgastric ventricular pacing (TVP) was also attempted using both TEE probe electrodes alternately as cathode/anode. Maximal generator output was 32 mA. GVP with the distal electrode as cathode was successful in 75% and 80% of patients at 30- and 50-ms pulse durations and 23.3+/-5.8 mA and 22.6+/-5.8 mA threshold currents, respectively. However, success rates (20% and 25%, respectively) were significantly lower with the proximal electrode as cathode using the same pulse durations and 14.4+/-5.3 mA and 16.7+/-6.8 mA threshold currents. The TVP success rate was significantly lower than that for GVP. With optimization, this system could become an available technique for intraoperative emergency ventricular pacing. Using an endocardial pacing lead attached to a transesophageal echocardiography probe, gastrothoracic ventricular pacing can be performed successfully without complications in 75%-80% of patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery."},"publication_date":"1999-07","publication_name":{"en":"Anesthesia & Analgesia","ja":"Anesthesia & Analgesia"},"volume":"Vol.89","number":"No.1","starting_page":"21","ending_page":"25","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1097/00000539-199907000-00004"],"issn":["0003-2999"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10320166","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=92623","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"Intraoperative management of a pediatric patient undergoing cardiac tumor resection with the aid of transesophageal and epicardial echocardiography.","ja":"Intraoperative management of a pediatric patient undergoing cardiac tumor resection with the aid of transesophageal and epicardial echocardiography."},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Kitahata Hiroshi"},{"name":"Tanaka Katsuya"},{"name":"Ikeuchi Yukiko"},{"name":"Kimura Hideyuki"},{"name":"Hirose Yoshiaki"},{"name":"Oshita Shuzo"}],"ja":[{"name":"川人 伸次"},{"name":"北畑 洋"},{"name":"田中 克哉"},{"name":"池内 由紀子"},{"name":"木村 英之"},{"name":"廣瀬 嘉明"},{"name":"大下 修造"}]},"publication_date":"1999-05","publication_name":{"en":"Anesthesia & Analgesia","ja":"Anesthesia & Analgesia"},"volume":"Vol.88","number":"No.5","starting_page":"1048","ending_page":"1050","languages":["eng"],"referee":true,"identifiers":{"doi":["10.1097/00000539-199905000-00014"],"issn":["0003-2999"]},"published_paper_type":"scientific_journal"}} {"insert":{"user_id":"1000038718","type":"published_papers"},"force":{"see_also":[{"@id":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10319793","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?eid=2-s2.0-0032912972&origin=inward","label":"url"},{"@id":"https://web.db.tokushima-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/edb_browse?EID=92131","label":"url"}],"paper_title":{"en":"effects of sevoflurane on regional myocardial blood flow distribution --- Quantification with myocardial contrast echocardiography","ja":"effects of sevoflurane on regional myocardial blood flow distribution --- Quantification with myocardial contrast echocardiography"},"authors":{"en":[{"name":"Kitahata Hiroshi"},{"name":"Kawahito Shinji"},{"name":"Nozaki Junpei"},{"name":"Kimura Hideyuki"},{"name":"Tanaka Katsuya"},{"name":"Kitagawa Tetsuya"},{"name":"Oshita Shuzo"}],"ja":[{"name":"北畑 洋"},{"name":"川人 伸次"},{"name":"野﨑 淳平"},{"name":"木村 英之"},{"name":"田中 克哉"},{"name":"北川 哲也"},{"name":"大下 修造"}]},"description":{"en":"Using myocardial contrast echocardiography, the authors tried to determine whether sevoflurane causes myocardial blood maldistribution in humans and dogs.
