    Abstract Introduction: Previous studies demonstrated that the coronary sinus (CS) is an important target for ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation. However, radiofrequency ablation in the CS is associated with coronary vessel damage and tamponade. Animal data suggest irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation can be a safe ablation modality in vicinity of coronary arteries. We investigated the feasibility of IRE in the CS in a porcine model.
    Methods: Ablation and pacing was performed in the CS in six pigs (weight 60-75 kg) using a modified 9-French steerable linear hexapolar Tip-Versatile Ablation Catheter. Pacing maneuvers were performed from distal to proximal segments of the CS to assess atrial capture thresholds before and after IRE application. IRE ablations were performed with 100 J IRE pulses. After 3-week survival animals were euthanized and histological sections from the CS were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 27 IRE applications in six animals were performed. Mean peak voltage was 1509 ± 36 V, with a mean peak current of 22.9 ± 1.0 A. No complications occurred during procedure and 3-week survival. At 30 min post ablation 100% isolation was achieved in all animals. At 3 weeks follow-up pacing thresholds were significant higher as compared to baseline. Histological analysis showed transmural ablation lesions in muscular sleeves surrounding the CS.
    Conclusion: IRE ablation of the musculature along the CS using a multi-electrode catheter is feasible in a porcine model.

    Abstract Many biotransformations of mid- to long chain fatty acyl derivatives are intrinsically interesting because of their high selectivity and novel mechanisms. These include one carbon transfer, hydration, isomerization, hydrogenation, ladderane and hydrocarbon formation, thiolation and various oxidative transformations such as epoxidation, hydroxylation and desaturation. In addition, hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to a diverse array of bioactive compounds. The bioorganic aspects of selected reactions will be highlighted in this review; 210 references are cited.

    Abstract Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a polymer of formaldehyde used inter alia for kitchenware and food processing machines. By migration into food, consumers may be exposed to small additional amounts of formaldehyde in food. In order to address such potential exposures, Specific Migration Limits are derived using all studies with oral exposure in mammals and birds. The assessment is not only based on local irritation observed in a 2-year rat study that has previously served to calculate acceptable exposure levels, but also on systemic effects, namely on effects on the kidney in adult rats and testes in birds before sexual maturity. At the relatively high oral exposure levels (up to 2000 ppm in drinking water) long-term effects caused by formic acid, the first step metabolite of formaldehyde, such as acidosis, cannot be excluded. The lowest Specific Migration Limit of 2.74 mg/dm

    Abstract The total synthesis of isotopically labelled (9 R,10 S )-dihydro­sterculic acid, a usual cyclopropane fatty acid with biologically relevant toxicity upon desaturation in vivo, is reported. A diastereoselective Corey­–Chaykovsky reaction was employed to form the cyclopropane ring. Rapid quenching of a lithium-sulfoxide exchange was required to achieve the requisite high levels of deuterium incorporation.

    Abstract Aims: We investigated the efficacy of linear multi-electrode irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation in a porcine model.
    Methods and results: The study was performed in six pigs (weight 60-75 kg). After median sternotomy and opening of the pericardium, a pericardial cradle was formed and filled with blood. A linear seven polar 7-Fr electrode catheter with 2.5 mm electrodes and 2.5 mm inter-electrode spacing was placed in good contact with epicardial tissue. A single IRE application was delivered using 50 J at one site and 100 J at two other sites, in random sequence, using a standard monophasic defibrillator connected to all seven electrodes connected in parallel. The pericardium and thorax were closed and after 3 weeks survival animals were euthanized. A total of 82 histological sections from all 18 electroporation lesions were analysed. A total of seven 50 J and fourteen 100 J epicardial IRE applications were performed. Mean peak voltages at 50 and 100 J were 1079.2 V ± 81.1 and 1609.5 V ± 56.8, with a mean peak current of 15.4 A ± 2.3 and 20.2 A ± 1.7, respectively. Median depth of the 50 and 100 J lesions were 3.2 mm [interquartile range (IQR) 3.1-3.6] and 5.5 mm (IQR 4.6-6.6) (P < 0.001), respectively. Median lesion width of the 50 and 100 J lesions was 3.9 mm (IQR 3.7-4.8) and 5.4 mm (IQR 5.0-6.3), respectively (P < 0.001). Longitudinal sections showed continuous lesions for 100 J applications.
    Conclusion: Epicardial multi-electrode linear application of IRE pulses is effective in creating continuous deep lesions.

    Abstract Several fatty acids, in particular saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid, cause lipotoxicity in the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease . Unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. oleic acid) protect against lipotoxicity in hepatocytes. However, the effect of oleic acid on other liver cell types, in particular liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), is unknown. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are often used as a substitute for LSECs, however, because of the unique phenotype of LSECs, HUVECs cannot represent the same biological features as LSECs. In this study, we investigate the effects of oleate and palmitate (the sodium salts of oleic acid and palmitic acid) on primary rat LSECs in comparison to their effects on HUVECs. Oleate induces necrotic cell death in LSECs, but not in HUVECs. Necrotic cell death of LSECs can be prevented by supplementation of 2-stearoylglycerol, which promotes cellular triglyceride (TG) synthesis. Repressing TG synthesis, by knocking down DGAT1 renders HUVECs sensitive to oleate-induced necrotic death. Mechanistically, oleate causes a sharp drop of intracellular ATP level and impairs mitochondrial respiration in LSECs. The combination of oleate and palmitate reverses the toxic effect of oleate in both LSECs and HUVECs. These results indicate that oleate is toxic and its toxicity can be attenuated by stimulating TG synthesis. The toxicity of oleate is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and necrotic cell death. Moreover, HUVECs are not suitable as a substitute model for LSECs.
