Insight Into

Diamond film was synthesized on thin Ti wafers (as thin as 40 μm) via hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium substrate and the formation of a thick TiC interlayer were suppressed. A very low pressure (133 Pa) was employed to achieve high-density rapid nucleation and thus to suppress the formation of TiC. Oxygen was added to source gases to lower the growth temperature and therefore to slow down the hydrogenation of the thin Ti substrate. The role of the very low pressure during nucleation is discussed, providing insight into the nucleation mechanism of diamond on a titanium substrate. The as-grown diamond films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray analysis.

The role of cardiac interstitial adenosine as an important metabolite in coronary autoregulation has not been established. We therefore measured steady-state cardiac interstitial adenosine concentration at a high and a low coronary inflow pressure using an epicardial diffusion well in anesthetized dogs. Although coronary resistance for the high and low pressure points showed highly significant differences (P less than 0.001), adenosine averaged 302 +/- 98 and 286 +/- 91 (SD) pmol/ml for the high and low pressure points, respectively (P greater than 0.20). Cardiac interstitial adenosine concentration was then measured with and without an intracoronary infusion of adenosine deaminase catalytic subunit. Adenosine averaged 28 +/- 21 (SD) pmol/ml during the infusion compared with 281 +/- 68 during control conditions (P less than 0.001). Finally, pressure-flow relations were obtained with and without the adenosine deaminase infusion, and there was no loss of autoregulation in the pressure of adenosine deaminase. These findings indicate that intracoronary adenosine deaminase markedly reduces interstitial adenosine concentration, that cardiac interstitial adenosine concentration remains constant during autoregulation, and that the coronary bed autoregulates normally when interstitial adenosine is reduced to levels close to zero. We conclude that cardiac interstitial adenosine concentration is not an important component in coronary autoregulation.

Abstract Cardiac arrhythmias are common, often the first, and sometimes the life-threatening manifestations of hereditary cardiomyopathies. Pathogenic variants in several genes known to cause hereditary cardiac arrhythmias have also been identified in the sporadic cases and small families with cardiomyopathies. These findings suggest a shared genetic aetiology of a subset of hereditary cardiomyopathies and cardiac arrhythmias. The concept of a shared genetic aetiology is in accord with the complex and exquisite interplays that exist between the ion currents and cardiac mechanical function. However, neither the causal role of cardiac arrhythmias genes in cardiomyopathies is well established nor the causal role of cardiomyopathy genes in arrhythmias. On the contrary, secondary changes in ion currents, such as post-translational modifications, are common and contributors to the pathogenesis of arrhythmias in cardiomyopathies through altering biophysical and functional properties of the ion channels. Moreover, structural changes, such as cardiac hypertrophy, dilatation, and fibrosis provide a pro-arrhythmic substrate in hereditary cardiomyopathies. Genetic basis and molecular biology of cardiac arrhythmias in hereditary cardiomyopathies are discussed.
