Abstract: Objective To evaluate the treatment efficacy of post-infarction left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm (LVPA) through surgical procedure, and explore the diagnosis and differential diagnosis details of LVPA. Methods Between May 1993 and July 2007, 7 cases were diagnosed through echocardiography aided with left ventriculography or multi-sliced computer tomography (MSCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); 6 cases with LVPA were surgically treated through different procedure that included direct closure, cut and patching or cut and sandwiching procedure choose according to its location, anatomical morphology, and comorbidity; accompanied diseases were treated by coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) procedure. Results Six cases were diagnosed before surgery, and 1 case was diagnosed during the surgical procedure. One died from the cardiac tamponade due to rupture of LVPA before the surgical procedure, so the inhospital mortality was 14.3%(1/7). There was no operative death. With the follow-up from 2 months to 13 years of the 6 operational survivors, 1 case died from cardiac rupture and pericardial tamponade 4 years after the repair procedure. Of the 5 surviving LVPA, the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) values were from 43% to 52%, and 3 cases were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class Ⅰ, and 2 cases were in NYHA class Ⅱ. Conclusion Echocardiography, aided with left ventriculography or MSCT or MRI, is an effective measure for diagnosis of LVPA. Surgical procedure is an effective measure to treat LVPA,but different surgical procedures, accompanied with homeochronous CABG procedure,should be adopted to deal with LVPA according its location, anatomical morphology, and accompanied deformity. The perioperative and mid-long term efficacy were good for the surgical treatment of LVPA, but it is imperative to pay attention to prevention of the recurrence and the late rupture of repaired LVPA.
ObjectiveTo determine the characters of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis and effects of surgical treatment with two kinds of procedure (internal drainage or external drainage). MethodsOne hundred and fifteen cases hospitalized during recent ten years were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsWe found that necrotic tissue existed in the pseudocyst in most cases and infection might occur in these pseudocyst. Although effect of two kinds of surgery was similar, the clinical course was different. The complications after surgery were fewer in patients underwent internal drainage than that with procedure of external drainage, and average hospital day was 7d in cases with internal drainage and 11d in cases with external one respectively. Surgery of internal drainage used in treatment was not only successful in noninfectious and single pseudocyst, but in infectious or multiple seudocyst.ConclusionInternal drainage should be used in most cases and considered as the first selection in surgery of pseudocyst due to acute pancreatitis.
Objective To observe the levels of von Willebrand factor ( vWF) expressed by human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) infected by aspergillus fumigatus ( AF) alone or treatment with cytochalasin D, N-cadherin monoclonal antibody, dexamethasone, respectively, so as to explore the mechanism of angioinvasion in invasive aspergillosis. Methods An in vitro model of HUVECs infected by AF hypha was established. The experiment included six groups, ie. a sham control group, a TNF-αgroup, an AF hypha group, a cytochalasin D group, a N-cadherin antibody group, and a dexamethasone group. Cell supernatants were collected to detect the levels of vWF at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 18 h by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results Compared with that of vWF at 2 h, the level was higher at 18 h in the sham controlgroup and the TNF-αgroup, and higher at 6 h, 12 h, and 18 h in the other groups( P lt; 0. 05) . Compared with the sham control group, the level of vWF in each experiment group increased at 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 18 h except that in the N-cadherin antibody group at 2 h ( P lt; 0. 05) . The level of vWF in TNF-α group was higher than that in the AF hypha group at 2 h, but lower at 18 h. ( P lt; 0. 05) . The level of vWF was not significantly different between the cytochalasin D group and the AF hypha group at each time point. The level of vWF was lower in the N-cadherin antibody group than that in the AF hypha group at 2 h and 6 h ( P lt;0. 05) . The level of vWF was not significantly different between the dexamethasone group and the AF hypha group at each time point. Conclusion HUVECs infected by AF hypha overexpress vWF. N-cadherinmonoclonal antibody can reduce the expression of vWF, but cytochalasin D or dexamethasone has no significant effect on it.
Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. Methods The data on surgical treatment of 45 patients with infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm admitted from January 2003 to June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Fourty-three patients underwent operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis. Two patients were unavoidable to undergo removing of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and ligating the proximal and distal artery of pseudoaneurysm because of severe infection and large volume. Results The patients were followed up from 3 to 12 months (mean 7.82 months). The limbs of all the patients underwent bypass graft with vascular prosthesis were salvaged successfully, patients of which had secondary wound healing and had not intermittent lameness. One of two patients performed ligation of artery was salvaged successfully but had severe intermittent lameness, another patient underwent high amputation above knee because of ischemic gangrene. Conclusion For infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, the operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis is effective and safe.
目的 探讨胰腺假性囊肿行内引流治疗的临床效果。方法 对我院2001年1月至2008年12月期间收治的20例胰腺假性囊肿行内引流治疗的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果 本组20例中行囊肿与胃吻合7例,囊肿与空肠Roux-en-Y吻合13例。14例获得3个月~6年(平均32个月)随访,均获一次性治愈,无近、远期并发症发生。结论 根据囊肿形成的大小和时间选择恰当的内引流治疗方式,能有效治愈胰腺假性囊肿。
rom Aug.1965 to Dec. 1992,29 patients suffered from the peudoaneurysms were treatedwlth 4 different methods. They were:1.ligating the vessels;2. repairing the defected area in thearterial watl: 3, anastomosing the vessels after the peudoaneurysms being removed; 4, repoiring thearteries with vessel grafts after the resection of the poudoaneurysm or by-passing operation. Of the 4different methed, the method 3 and 4 gave the best results. It was thought that the operation should bep...
