Congenital coronary artery anomalies include various congenital anatomic anomalies of coronary artery. Severe congenital coronary artery anomalies usually result in ventricular dysfunction, myocardium ischemia, and even sudden death. Hence, understanding the coronary artery anomalies is critically important for the related surgeons to make reasonable strategies. This consensus is based on current literature and opinions of Chinese experts. And we mainly discuss the anatomy, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of important congenital coronary artery anomalies in clinics including anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery, anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery and coronary fistula.
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between platelet and prognosis of the total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). MethodsWe included 11 dead patients with TOF at age of 0-6 years as a death group between 2011 and 2014 year. There were 7 male and 4 female patients at age of 18.6±16.4 months in the death group. We selected 11 matched survival patients according to age, gender of the patients as a survival group. There were also 7 male and 4 female patients at age of 19.4±16.7 months in the death group. The patients were divided into a high-platelet group and a low-platelet group. There were 6 male and 5 female patients in the high-platelet group. While there were 8 male and 3 female patients in the low-platelet group. Inflammatory cytokine and mortality were compared between the two groups. ResultsPost-operative count of platelet in the death group was significantly lower than that in the live group, while post-operative interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C reactive protein (CRP) were much higher than those in the death group (P<0.05). Mortality was higher in the low-platelet group than that in the high-platelet group (P<0.05). ConclusionPlatelets may alleviate inflammatory response and reduce mortality, which played a great role of protection.
目的评价单穿刺点经胸微创封堵治疗房间隔缺损(ASD)合并室间隔缺损(VSD)的安全性及有效性。 方法纳入2014年6月至2015年8月于我院成功完成单穿刺点经胸微创封堵术治疗ASD合并VSD的8例患儿,分析患儿在术后第l个月、3个月、6个月的门诊随访资料。观察围术期及随访期间患者残余分流、瓣膜反流、心律失常等并发症发生情况。 结果8例患儿中,术后早期均无残余分流、心律失常,微量三尖瓣反流(TR)患者1例(12.5%)。平均随访时间5~9(6±2)个月,各瓣膜均未发现中度及以上反流,未发现存在血栓、严重心律失常、死亡的患者。 结论单穿刺点经胸微创封堵治疗ASD合并VSD安全、有效,且更为微创。
Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of perventricular device closure (PDC) for congenital ventricular septal defects (VSD) by a meta-analysis.Methods PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase and China Biology Medicine (CBM) databases were searched for studies on PDC of VSD up to October 2018 by computer. We included studies only with more than 80% patients diagnosed with perimembranous VSD. A meta-analysis was performed to obtain pooled estimates of success rate and incidences of complications with 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis stratified by percentage of perimembranous VSD was performed. Risk difference (RD) was used in the comparison of perioperative data with follow-up data. Results Fifteen studies (2 randomized controlled trials, 3 retrospective cohorts, and other 10 retrospective single-arm studies) involving 4 164 patients (3 848 patients with perimembranous VSD) were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled success rate was 95.4%. Incidences of residual shunt, aortic insufficiency, tricuspid insufficiency, and third-degree atrioventricular block were 5%, 0.1%, 3%, and less than 0.001% respectively. Improvements of residual shunt and aortic insufficiency were confirmed in follow-up patients. Conclusion PDC of congenital perimembranous VSDs is safe and yields good results. Because some limitations can not be overcomed, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm our results.
Objective To study the mechanisms and treatment of ischemia /reperfusion injury, expression of intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) were measured, the effect on suppression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 by the pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) were investigated. Methods Endothelial cells were divided into 3 groups, hypoxia group: endothelial cells were exposed in hypoxia condition, then returned to reoxygenation condition; the PDTC group: PDTC was added to the endothelial cells in the culture media before exposing to hypoxia condition; control group: endothelial cells underwent treatment. Confocal microscopy was used to detect expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. Results ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression were low in endothelial cells of control group, and increased in hypoxia group . ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression of endothelial cells in PDTC group werelower than those in hypoxia group , but higher than those in control group. Conclusions It seems that hypoxia/ reoxygenation can activate the endothelial cells and increase the expression of cell adhesion molecules. PDTC can decrease the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1. PDTC may prove benificial in the treatment of ischemia /reperfusion injury.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the economics of duplizumab in combination with optimal supportive care versus optimal supportive care for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults from the perspective of our health system. MethodsA Markov model embedded in a decision tree was constructed to compare the long-term cost-utility of dupilumab combined with optimal supportive care versus optimal supportive care, and a sensitivity analysis was performed on the results. ResultsThe results of the basic analysis showed that compared with the optimal supportive care, dupliyuzumab in combination with optimal supportive care resulted in 3.82 more QALYs, while its cost was 125 549.42 yuan more. The ICER was 32 854.83 yuan/QALY, which was less than one times China's per capita GDP in 2022, and was economical. Univariate sensitivity analysis showed that factors such as Dupilumab-16-week post - no response utility value, Dupilumab-52-week post response rate and Dupilumab-52-week adherence had a greater impact on the cost changes. The results of the probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed a stable model structure and good robustness. ConclusionIn adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, dupliyuzumab in combination with an optimal supportive care regimen is more cost-effective compared to an optimal supportive care regimen.
