Objective To investigate the protective effects of antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody （TNF-αAb） on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） and their mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand white rabbits，weighting 2.0-2.5 kg，male or female，were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. In groupⅠ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion. In group Ⅱ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion with TNF-αAb. In group Ⅲ，the rabbits received CPB only. In group Ⅳ，the rabbits only received sham surgery. Neutrophils count，TNF-α and malondialdehyde （MDA） concentrations of the blood samples from the left and right atrium as well as oxygenation index were examined before and after CPB in the 4 groups. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. Lung water content，TNF-α mRNA and apoptoticindex of the lung tissues were measured at different time points. Results Compared with group Ⅳ，after CPB，the rabbitsin group Ⅰ to group Ⅲ showed significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count，TNF-α and MDA（P＜0.05），higherTNF-α mRNA expression，apoptosis index and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly lower oxyg-enation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with group Ⅱ，after CPB，the rabbits in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ had significantly higher blood concentrations of TNF-α （5 minutes after aortic declamping，220.43±16.44 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05；249.99±14.09 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05），significantly higher apoptosis index （at the time of CPB termination，60.7‰±13.09‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05；59.6‰±7.74‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05），significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count and MDA （P＜0.05），significantly higher TNF-α mRNA expression and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly loweroxygenation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with groupⅠ，rabbits in group Ⅲ had significantly higher above parameters （P＜0.05） but lower oxygenation index （P＜0.05） only at 30 minutes after the start of CPB. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion with TNF-αAb can significantly attenuate inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis of the lung tissues during CPB.
Objective To review the clinical experience of coronary artery bypass grafting without the assistance of extracorporeal circulation (Off pump CABG, OPCAB). Methods\ Between August 1999 and June 2000, 73 consecutive OPCAB were performed at our institution. The exposure and immobilization of the coronary artery target site during anastomosis were achieved with the help of Octopus mechanical stabilization and intraluminal shunt devices. Results\ There was no mortality, no perioperative myocardial infarct...
Objective To investigate the role of endothelin（ET） in lung injury during cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） and study the possible mechanism of ET-mediated lung injury and the protective effect of ferulic acid（FA） during the procedure. Methods Twelve dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups and models of CPB with pulmonary perfusion were established by perfusion of 4 C FA solution through proximal pulmonary artery in the experiment group while control group only received 4 C crystal cardiac arrest solution without pulmonary perfusion. Changes in the content of ET, NO, malonaldehyde （MDA）, dry to wet （D/W） in lung tissue and lung function- related indices PaO2/FiO2, airway pressure （AWP）, pulmonary vascular resistance （PVR）, lung compliance before and after CPB in both groups were measured respectively. Results ET content increased after CPB in control group （P〈0. 05） ,while experiment group had a lower level of ET than that of control group （P〈0.05）; D/W, MDA levels in experiment group decreased （P〈0. 05）, but NO content increased （P〈0. 05） as compared with control group. After pulmonary perfusion with FA, PaO2/FiO2 and lung compliance values in experiment group were higher than those of control group （P〈0.05）,AWP, PVR values lowered accordingly（P〈0. 05）. Lung injury was less severe in the experiment group. Conclusion ET is involved in pathogenesis of lung injury during CPB, FA can effectively reduce lung injury and improve lung function thus having a good protective effect on the lung.
Objective To discuss the way and management of cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） through intubation of femoral artery and femoral vein for completely video assisted cardiac operations, Methods CPB were set up through femoral artery and femoral vein in 85 patients on heart surgery by video assisted thoracotomy. Thirtyeight patients were diagnosed as atrial septal defect （ASD）, forty-three patients were diagnosed as ventricular septal defect （VSD）, and four patients were mitral valve stenosis and mitral incompetence （MS＋MI）,The video assisted thoracotomy was used to repair ASD, VSD and mitral valve replacement （MVR）. Results For all patients the durations of CPB and aortic cross-clamping time was 30-179 min（91.7±27.4 min）, 6-103 min（37.2±6. 1 min）. In one patient, the CPB was set up again for repairing of residual leak. The endothelium of femoral artery was lacerated during withdrawing the cannula in 2 patients. Conclusion The video assisted thoracic operation with CPB and by intubation of femoral artery and femoral vein to perform heart operation are feasible and safe. All patients are recovered well.

Coronary artery bypass grafting has made great progress in recent years. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （off-pump） can escape from many complications resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass which powered the interest of more and more surgeons, but it is more technically demanding. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting aided by cardiopulmonary bypass （on-pump） can provide with good condition for anastomosis, and is still applied widely. The comparation of the two surgical techniques were reviewed, including graft patency, mortality, inflammatory response, influence on coagulation and anticoagulation, injury to important organs, hospital length of stay and cost, technical convertion, et al.
