不同TGF-β表达量的hAMSCs尾静脉移植对异种周围神经移植小鼠坐骨神经功能的影响

目的探讨不同转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)表达量的人羊膜间充质干细胞(hAMSCs)尾静脉移植对异种周围神经移植小鼠坐骨神经功能的恢复作用。方法从健康剖宫产产妇志愿捐献的新鲜羊膜中分离出hAMSCs,并进行纯化及鉴定。构建上调和下调TGF-β表达的慢病毒质粒,并转染纯化的hAMSCs,构建出稳定的上调或下调TGF-β表达的hAMSCs。分离并剪去C57BL/6小鼠的部分坐骨神经,将SD大鼠的坐骨神经分离剪取并移植至小鼠的坐骨神经缺损处,构建出异种周围神经移植小鼠模型。将模型小鼠按随机数字表分为对照组、未修饰的hAMSCs治疗组、高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组、低表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组,每组10只。各组于造模前1 d分别经尾静脉注射磷酸盐缓冲液或相应的hAMSCs重悬液进行移植治疗。于治疗后第14天时采用DigGait步态分析系统评估各组小鼠的坐骨神经功能恢复情况。结果治疗后第14天时,高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组小鼠的坐骨神经功能指数(-25.820±0.286)明显高于低表达TGF-β的hAMSCs治疗组(-33.413±0.920)和未修饰的hAMSCs治疗组(-30.755±0.421),差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论高表达TGF-β的hAMSCs尾静脉移植能够更有效地改善异种周围神经移植小鼠的坐骨神经功能,其可能成为周围神经损伤治疗的新突破口。     

Z形皮瓣及推进皮瓣修复眼睑缺损的作用探讨

目的探讨眼睑恶性肿瘤切除术中应用Z形皮瓣及推进皮瓣I期修复眼睑缺损的临床效果。方法将50例眼睑恶性肿瘤切除术患者按不同缝合方法分为两组,即对照组25例,术中直接缝合;观察组25例,术中行Z形皮瓣及推进皮瓣I期修复;比较两组眼睑修复效果。结果观察组术后皮瓣成活率96.0%、切口Ⅰ期愈合率100%、修复满意率92.0%,均高于对照组的72.0%、68.0%、56.0%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组术后并发症发生率低于对照组,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论眼睑恶性肿瘤切除术中眼睑缺损修复时,采用Z形皮瓣及推进皮瓣,眼睑修复良好,患者修复满意率高,值得推广应用。     

组织多普勒成像评价左房收缩功能的临床研究

目的应用多普勒组织成像技术测定61名健康成人二尖瓣环运动峰值速率(Am),以评价Am在左房收缩功能中的价值。方法观察61名无心脏疾患者的Am,Am值为二尖瓣前、后、左、右侧心房收缩期二尖瓣环运动峰值速率的平均值;并与左房收缩时左房面积改变分数(FAC)和容积改变分数(FVC)作相关性研究。结果61例研究对象平均FAC和FVC分别为(31±10)%和(42±11)%;Am为(13.4±3.2)cm/s;直线回归分析显示,Am与FAC和FVC均呈正相关(r=0.78和0.82;P均<0.001)。结论Am与FAC、FVC具有良好相关性,从而为临床评价左房收缩功能提供了一种简便而快速的方法。     

1381例先天性室间隔缺损的外科治疗

目的总结先天性室间隔缺损(VSD)手术治疗的临床经验。方法1992年12月至2005年10月手术治疗VSD1381例,男性835例,女性546例,年龄2天至55岁,平均(4.6±3.2)岁。体重2.5～80(14.5±10.7)kg,<10kg者487例(35.3%)。均在低温体外循环下手术,必要时应用深低温低流量及改良超滤技术。直视缝合823例,补片修补558例。结果术后30d内死亡24例(其中11例年龄<6个月),死亡率1.74%;晚期死亡1例。主要并发症发生率9.7%。结论手术治疗室间隔缺损效果满意。但<6个月龄的低体重婴儿应严格控制手术适应证。干下型VSD应早期手术,防止主动脉瓣关闭不全的发生。术后应重视对呼吸系统、循环系统的监护与治疗,重视对肺动脉高压围术期处理     

Impact of Transcatheter Occlusion of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus on Atrial Septal Defect Diameter in Children

Background. A persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may delay closure of a coexisting atrial septal defect (ASD) due to volume loading and enlargement of the left atrium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the natural history of ASD size in patients with a PDA following transcatheter PDA occlusion. Methods. All patients with an ASD and a PDA who underwent transcatheter PDA occlusion at Texas Children’s Hospital were identified. Patients with ASD diameter <3 mm, or additional cardiac defects were excluded. Eight patients (7 females) with small‐ to moderate‐sized ASDs and a PDA were identified. Patient demographics, echocardiographic data, and cardiac catheterization data were recorded. Data were analyzed by 1‐tailed t‐test. Results. Following PDA occlusion, ASD diameter decreased in 6 of 8 patients by a mean of 3.8 mm (±2.3 mm), including 2 that closed. The median duration of follow‐up was 689 days. One ASD remained unchanged and 1 increased in size. The mean maximum ASD diameter decreased from 6.4 mm (±2.2 mm) to 3.9 mm (±3.4 mm) (P = .03). Two patients underwent subsequent transcatheter ASD occlusion. Conclusion. Following transcatheter PDA occlusion, small‐ to moderate‐sized ASDs have significant probability to decrease in size, and possibly close. In infants and children, we recommend transcatheter PDA occlusion, and serial follow‐up of the size of the ASD. This will allow many small‐ to moderate‐sized ASDs to either close, or become smaller, obviating the need for future intervention.
