目的 探讨Ⅰ型先天性胆总管囊肿的手术治疗。方法 回顾性分析笔者所在医院1987年3月至2011年6月期间收治的42例Ⅰ型先天性胆总管囊肿患者手术治疗后的效果。结果 本组中2例因并发腹膜炎先行囊肿外引流术后4周再行囊肿空肠吻合术；3例直接行囊肿空肠吻合术；35例行囊肿切除肝总管空肠Roux-en-Y吻合术；2例行囊肿切除间置空肠肝总管十二指肠吻合术。手术成功率为100%。5例内引流术（囊肿空肠吻合术）后均有不同程度的胆道感染症状。37例行囊肿根治术（即囊肿切除肝总管空肠Roux-en-Y吻合或间置空肠肝总管十二指肠吻合术）中有2例囊肿切除肝总管空肠Roux-en-Y吻合术后患者偶有右上腹隐痛不适，经X线钡餐检查，诊断为胆管逆行性感染，抗炎治疗有效；其余病例无腹痛、黄疸、发热、再生结石、吻合口狭窄、癌变及其他手术并发症。结论 囊肿外引流术仅作为急诊手术，待患者一般情况改善后再行第二次手术；囊肿根治术是治疗Ⅰ型先天性胆总管囊肿理想的手术方式。
Objective To explore risk factors related to acute kidney injury (AKI) in children who underwent corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 726 children with corrective procedures for TOF aged less than 3 years in our hospital from March 1st 2010 to March 1st 2013. Children with AKI were picked using Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Demographic and perioperative variables of the remaining patients were reviewed. Univariate analysis was performed to compare the AKI group (240 patients) with the non-AKI group (486 patients). Multivariable analysis was carried out to identify significant determinants of AKI. Results A total of 240 children were with AKI. The result of univariate analysis showed that there was a statistical difference in age, Nakata index, McGoon ratio, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), transannular right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) patch, or fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in prime solution between the AKI group and the non-AKI group. Multivariable logistic regression showed that in older children (OR=1.425, 95% CI 1.071 to 1.983, P=0.011) with more transfusion of FFP in the priming solution (OR=1.486, 95% CI 1.325 to 2.674, P<0.001) led to higher morbidity of mild AKI. In addition, there was an increase in morbidity related to AKI when children had less Nakata index (OR=0.282, 95% CI 0.092 to 0.869, P=0.013). Conclusion Postoperative AKI increases in older children group. Infusion of more FFP in priming solution increases morbidity of AKI. The less Nakata index is significantly associated with severe AKI.
Objective To study the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)，endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human gastric cancer and their relationship with tumor angiogenesis and to investigate the interaction of NOS and VEGF in gastric cancer. Methods The expression and distribution of VEGF, iNOS and eNOS in 34 gastric cancer specimens were detected with immunohistochemistry. Microvessel density (MVD) was counted with FⅧRAg immune specific staining. Results The expression rates of iNOS, eNOS and VEGF in 34 gastric cancers were 73.5%, 82.4% and 91.2% respectively. The expression of VEGF had a significant positive relation with iNOS, but not with eNOS. The MVDs of VEGF or iNOS positive gastric cancers were obviously higher than those of VEGF or iNOS negative gastric cancers. There was no significant difference between the MVDs of eNOS positive gastric cancers and eNOS negative ones. Conclusion MVD increases with increase of expression of VEGF and iNOS in gastric cancer. It is indicated that VEGF and iNOS can promote gastric cancer angiogenesis. VEGF and iNOS have a significant positive correlation, which suggests that in human gastric cancer, iNOS plays an important role in the production and action of VEGF.
The success of staged Fontan palliation for patients with single ventricle is related to low pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). The complications of high PVR in Fontan physiology are numerous, such as low exercise tolerance, low cardiac output, ventricular function failure and protein-losing enteropathy; eventually it leads to failing Fontan. Therefore, a low PVR is crucial in Fontan patients. Now, targeted therapies decreasing PVR has been an advanced research hotspot in Fontan patients. In this review we present an overview of the safety and efficacy of the therapy with bosentan or sildenafil on elevated pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance in Fontan patients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the correlation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), activated clotting time (ACT) and the activity of anti-factor Ⅹa activity with the concentration of unfractionated heparin (UFH) during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in children after cardiac surgery.MethodsThe clinical data of children (aged 6 months to 6 years) who received ECMO support after cardiac surgery in Fuwai Hospital from January 2010 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. And the aPTT value, ACT value, anti-Ⅹa activity and the corresponding UFH dose measured simultaneously during ECMO were recorded. According to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization anticoagulation guideline, the bleeding events of children during ECMO support were defined, and the children were divided into a bleeding group and a non-bleeding group according to whether bleeding events occurred. Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between ACT, aPTT or anti-Ⅹa activity and UFH in the same patient.ResultsA total of 58 children, including 33 males and 25 females, aged 27.31±34.17 months, were enrolled and divided into the bleeding group (n=39) and the non-bleeding group (n=19). Univariate analysis showed that compared with children in the non-bleeding group, children in the bleeding group had lower red blood cell counts (P=0.049), hemoglobin concentration (P=0.010), and hematocrit (P=0.046) on the day of ECMO installation. In addition, the transfusion volume of fresh frozen plasma (P=0.034) and fibrinogen (P=0.033) in the bleeding group was relatively more, and the proportion of exploratory thoracotomy for hemostasis was high (P=0.000); there was a moderate degree of correlation between anti-Ⅹa and UFH (r=0.418, P=0.013) but there was no correlation between ACT or aPTT and UFH.ConclusionThe aPTT value and ACT value are poorly correlated with the concentration of UFH transfused during ECMO in children after cardiac surgery, while the anti-Ⅹa activity is moderately correlated with it.
ObjectiveTo explore the hemodynamic effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) on postoperative hemodynamic in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) combined with decreased pulmonary blood flow.MethodsFrom 2014 to 2018, there were 1 764 patients who received corrective repair of cyanotic CHD with decreased pulmonary blood flow in the Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery of Fuwai Hospital. We included 61 patients with the ratio of right ventricular systolic pressure to systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥75% after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. There were 41 males and 20 females, with the age of 20.5 (9.0, 39.0) months and weight of 12.5±7.8 kg. The patients were divided into two groups: a conventional group (33 patients, conventional therapy only) and a combined therapy group (28 patients, iNO combined with conventional therapy). The hemodynamics during the first 24 hours after iNO therapy and the in-hospital outcomes of the two groups were investigated and compared.ResultsThere was no statistical difference between the two groups in demographic characteristics and surgical parameters (P>0.05). The hemodynamic effects of iNO within 24 hours included the decrease in the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS, 21.6±6.6 vs. 17.3±7.2, P=0.020) along with the increase in blood pressure (SBP: 73.7±9.7 mm Hg vs. 90.8±9.1 mm Hg, P<0.001) , the decrease in central venous pressure (10.0±3.1 mm Hg vs. 7.9±2.1 mm Hg, P=0.020), the decrease in lactate (2.2±1.7 mmol/L vs. 1.2±0.5 mmol/L, P<0.001) and increase in urine output [2.8±1.7 mL/(kg·h) vs. 4.9±2.2 mL/(kg·h), P<0.001]. The decrease of VIS at 24 h after the surgery in the conventional therapy group was not statistically significant (22.1±7.9 vs. 20.0±8.5, P=0.232). Besides, we discovered that the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) was less in the combined therapy group than that in the conventional therapy group, especially in the moderate complicated surgery [risk adjustment in congenital heart surgery (RACHS-1) ≤3] subgroup (9.5% vs. 40.7%, P=0.016).ConclusionIn pediatric patients after corrective repair of cyanotic and pulmonary blood follow decreased CHD with increased pulmonary vascular resistance, iNO combined with conventional therapy can improve the hemodynamics effectively. Compared with the conventional therapy, the combined therapy with iNO can decrease the VIS and the need for RRT, which is beneficial to the postoperative recovery of patients.
ObjectiveTo compare attitudes of nursing undergraduates to patients with mental illness before and after learning psychiatric nursing course and provide evidence for the improvement of teaching of the course. MethodsStigma scale to patients with mental illness was used as a questionnaire for collecting data, which was conducted on nursing undergraduates taking psychiatric nursing course between March and June 2012. Paired t-test was used to compare the differences between students' attitudes before and after learning the course. ResultsSignificant difference was found for danger factor (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the social isolation factor and social ability factor before and after the psychiatric nursing course (P>0.05). ConclusionPsychiatric nursing course has a great influence on students' evaluation of the danger of patients with mental illness which reduces the discrimination against the patients.
