Abstract：

Objectives To analyze the anatomy features of the pulmonary circuits in the patients with pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA), and discuss the clinical significance. Methods From April 2002 to June 2010, the anatomy features of pulmonary circuits in 33 patients with PA/VSD/MAPCA were examined and analyzed. There were 21 male and 12 female patients. The age ranged from 11 months to 29 years. The anatomic types of PA/VSD included group B for 22 cases, group C for 11 cases. Thirty-one patients of them underwent 33 operative procedures. The operations included aorta-pulmonary shunt in 8 cases, one stage unifocalization with VSD open in 2 cases, complete repair in 23 cases. Results Twenty-nine (87.9%) patients had native pulmonary arteries, 6 of them were normal size and 23 were hypoplastic size. Four patients (12. 1%) had no native pulmonary arteries. The postoperative oxygen saturation of the patients undergone shunt and one stage unifocalization was increased to 83% to 90%. There was one early death after complete repair because of multiorgan function failure. There were 4 cases of severe low cardiac output and 3 cases of respiratory function failure. Sixteen patients after complete repair were followed up more than one year. The postoperative right ventricular pressure was 41 to 99 mmHg (1 mmHg =0. 133 kPa). The ejection fraction value was more than 50% in 14 patients and less than 50% in 2 patients. Two patients had medium pulmonary insufficiency. Conclusions An individualized approach based on the anatomy of the pulmonary circuits permits achievement in the patients with PA/VSD/MAPCA. The surgical strategy for PA/VSD/MAPCA mainly depends on the anatomy features of native pulmonary arteries, confluent pulmonary arteries and MAPCA.     

Mitral annulus calcification: determinants of repair feasibility, early and late surgical outcome.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing the feasibility of valve repair and the surgical outcome in patients with mitral annulus calcification. METHODS: In 124 patients with mitral annulus calcification undergoing surgery, two entities were distinguished: Barlow disease (myxomatous leaflets, n=60) and fibroelastic deficiency (FED) (normal leaflets, n=64). The calcification score was lower (1.9 vs 2.8); the annulus was more dilated (ring 35 vs 32 mm) and ruptured chordae were more frequent (77% vs 37%) in Barlow than in FED (p<0.001). The clinical profile was different: age (60+/-14 vs 73+/-8 years, p<0.001), systemic hypertension (22% vs 70%, p<0.001), chronic renal insufficiency (5% vs 22%, p<0.01), cancer (7% vs 25%, p<0.01). Multifocal atherosclerosis was less frequent in Barlow than in FED: carotid disease (17% vs 54%, p<0.001), aortic atheroma (21% vs 51%, p<0.001) and coronary disease (22% vs 56%, p<0.01). Echocardiography showed two different patterns in Barlow and FED: aortic valve stenosis (1.7% vs 31%), left atrial diameter (54 vs 49 mm), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (62 vs 54 mm), interventricular septal thickness (11 vs 13 mm), and systolic pulmonary pressure (40 vs 56 mmHg), respectively (p<0.001). Bacterial endocarditis was observed in 24 cases (19%). RESULTS: The surgical technique was a valve repair in 68% and a replacement in 32%. The repair rate depended upon the extent of annulus calcifications (p<0.001) and the type of degenerative disease (95% vs 44% in Barlow and FED p<0.001). In-hospital mortality was 14% (Barlow: 5% vs FED: 23%, p<0.01). The mean follow-up was 50+/-41 months. Overall 5-year year survival was 76% (Barlow: 90% vs FED: 64%, p<0.001) and survival free from cardiac event was 69% at 5 years (Barlow: 87% vs FED: 52%, p<0.001). Five-year survival was higher following repair than replacement (84% vs 64% p<0.001). Chronic renal insufficiency and bacterial endocarditis were two predictors of early and late death (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The aetiopathogeny of the degenerative mitral disease responsible for annulus calcifications corresponded to distinct anatomical, clinical and echographic patterns. It was a main determinant of repair feasibility, early and late surgical outcome.     

Outcomes in patients with interrupted aortic arch and associated anomalies: a 20-year experience.

OBJECTIVE: The surgical results for the repair of interrupted aortic arch (IAA) have evolved in recent years. We report our results for staged repair of this complex congenital malformation. METHODS: Sixty-five patients (mean age, 16.9+/-41.7 days) were diagnosed with IAA and referred for surgical therapy. The surgical management strategy at our institution between 1982 and 2005 has been one-stage complete repair (n=13) or staged repair (n=52) in selected patients. Non-complex patients (group I, n=51) had a ventricular septal defect (87%), aortopulmonary window (8%), and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (27%). Group II (n=14) were patients with Taussig-Bing double outlet right ventricle (n=6) or truncus arteriosus (n=8). Method of staged repair of IAA was to transect and turn down the left carotid artery and anastomosis it to the descending aorta (n=41) or graft interposition (n=2) combined with a pulmonary artery (PA) banding followed in a few months by delayed ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure and PA de-banding. RESULTS: There were 5 early and 10 late deaths. The actuarial survival including early mortality was 92% at 1 year, 81% at 5 years, and 76% at 10 and 15 years. There was an 81% 15-year survival for children in group I compared with a 54% for children in group II (p<0.001). Risk factors for increased mortality by univariate analysis were as follows: (1) primary aortic anastomosis (p=0.03), (2) presence of complex anomalies (p=0.05), and (3) initial IAA repair performed before 1994 (p=0.05). Actuarial freedom from any type of aortic reoperation or intervention was 86% at 1 year, 69% at 5 years, and 60% at 10 and 15 years. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified no tested variables as risk factors for reoperation. The majority (86%) was in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I, and 14% remained in NYHA class II. During the postoperative course there were no neurologic deficits, seizures, and growth disturbances in any patient. CONCLUSION: Staged repair of IAA using a left carotid artery turn down can be safely applied in IAA patients with and without other intracardiac anomalies with good results. Use of the left carotid artery for arch reconstruction did not result in any detectable neurological events or growth disturbances later in life. Associated anomalies played an important role in outcomes. The long-term probability for reoperation and/or reintervention remains high regardless of operative technique.     

Follow-up study of pulmonary artery configuration in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Objective. Pulmonary artery (PA) distortion significantly compromises the outcome of the staged approach to the Fontan operation in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). This retrospective study was designed to investigate the influence of the initial operation on postoperative PA anatomy. Methods. Forty-nine patients with HLHS and its variant were enrolled in this study. As an initial palliation, the Norwood operation with a modified Blalock-Taussig (BT) shunt was performed in 12, the Norwood operation with a right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) shunt in 31, and bilateral PA banding in 6. The incidence and risk factors of postoperative central pulmonary artery stenosis (PS) were investigated, and the PA configuration was followed up until post-Fontan status. Results. Twenty-two patients (51.2%) had developed central PS after the Norwood operation (33.3% with a BT shunt vs. 58.1% with a RV-PA shunt). The RV-PA shunt with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch at the distal pulmonary stump significantly decreased the central PS (P = 0.035). The PA index after the Norwood operation was not statistically different between the BT and RV-PA shunt groups, although in the RV-PA group it was significantly higher in patients with a PTFE patch on the distal PA stump. PA plasty was performed in 16 patients in the second-stage palliation and in 15 with the Fontan completion. Freedom from PA plasty was significantly lower in the RV-PA shunt group than in the BT shunt group (63.5% vs. 31.1% at 5 years, P = 0.034). Six patients initially palliated with bilateral PA banding had no stenosis at the banding site in the Norwood + Glenn operation, and one patient required stent placement for left PS in the Fontan completion. Post-Fontan catheterization (n = 31) showed central venous pressure of 11.5 ± 2.6 mmHg, cardiac index of 3.6 ± 0.8 l/kg/min, and PA index of 194.0 ± 58.4 mm²/m²; there was no difference between the groups. Conclusion. The incidence of central PS after the Norwood operation was significant, and the shunt type and procedure for the distal PA stump influenced the postoperative configuration of the central PA. With an aggressive surgical approach to central PS, PA anatomy was satisfactory with good hemodynamic variables after Fontan completion. Bilateral PA banding did not cause later vascular deformity.

Long-term survival and late complications after repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms

Purpose:Long-term survival and late vascular complications in patients who survived repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA) is not well known. The current study compared late outcome after repair of RAAA with those observed in patients who survived elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Methods:The records of 116 patients, 102 men and 14 women (mean age: 72.5 (8.3 years), who survived repair of RAAA (group I) between 1980 to 1989 were reviewed. Late vascular complications and survival were compared with an equal number of survivors of elective AAA repair matched for sex, age, surgeon, and date of operation (group II). Survival was also compared with the age and sex-matched white population of west-north central United States. Results:Late vascular complications occurred in 17% (20/116) of patients in group I and in 8% (9/116) in group II. Paraanastomotic aneurysms occurred more frequently in group I than in group II (17 vs. 8,p = 0.004). At follow-up, 32 patients (28%) were alive in group I (median survival: 9.4 years) and 53 patients (46%) were alive in group II (median survival: 8.7 years). Cumulative survival rates after successful RAAA repair at 1, 5, and 10 years were 86%, 64%, and 33%, respectively. These were significantly lower than survival rates at the same intervals after elective repair (97%, 74%, and 43%, respectively, p = 0.02) or survival of the general population (95%, 75%, and 52%, respectively,p < 0.001). Coronary artery disease was the most frequent cause of late death in both groups. Vascular and graft-related complications caused death in 3% (3/116) in group I and 1% (1/116) in group II. Cox proportional hazards modeling identified age p = 0.0001), cerebrovascular disease p = 0.009), and number of days on mechanical ventilation p = 0.01) to be independent prognostic determinants of late survival in group I. Conclusions:Late vascular complications after repair of RAAA were higher and late survival rates lower than after elective repair. These data support elective repair of AAA. As two-thirds of the patients discharged after repair of RAAA are alive at 5 years, aggressive management of RAAA remains justified. (J Vasc Surg 1998;27:813-20.)     

Staged operation for supravalvular aortic stenosis syndrome associated with severe multiple peripheral pulmonary stenoses: a case report and surgical methods

Successful surgical correction of supravalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) syndrome associated with severe peripheral pulmonary stenosis by a staged approach in a 6-year-old boy is reported. Right ventriculogram demonstrated bilateral severe peripheral pulmonary stenoses and cardiac catheterization revealed severe pressure gradient of 94 mmHg between the trunk of pulmonary artery and right and left peripheral pulmonary arteries, respectively. Bilateral severe peripheral pulmonary stenoses were relieved successfully by staged operations. Initially, a stenotic portion of the right pulmonary artery and its bifurcation was removed and a DeBakey Knitted Dacron graft was interposed between the right pulmonary artery and the peripheral pulmonary artery which was enlarged by arterioplasty. Nine days later, stenosis of the left peripheral pulmonary artery was relieved by arterioplasty using a Rygg patch. Finally, 8 months after the initial operation, the patient underwent definitive repair of SAS by extended aortoplasty. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. Our experience indicates that in the surgical treatment of the patient with SAS and associated severe multiple peripheral pulmonary stenoses, a staged approach, that is initial staged repair of the bilateral pulmonary stenoses by arterioplasty through thoracotomy followed by definitive intracardiac repair of SAS, is the procedure of choice.     

术前干预对造口旁疝手术患者的影响

目的探讨术前干预对造口旁疝手术患者的影响。 方法选取2018年6月至2019年4月在四川省广安市人民医院普外科行造口旁疝手术的42例患者作为观察对象,其中,男性23例,女性19例。患者平均年龄为38.5岁。按照随机数表法随机分为干预组和对照组,每组21例。对照组患者进行常规的术前检查、术中及术后护理。干预组患者在常规护理的基础上给予术前、术中及术后积极的心理疏导。记录2组患者的心率、血压等生命体征指标;使用Zung焦虑自评量表（SAS）测量患者的焦虑指数。 结果干预组患者入手术室麻醉前及气管导管拔出时的血压均较对照组稳定[（116.25±8.79）mmHg vs（129.17± 7.65）mmHg,（121.35±15.30）mmHg vs （126.17±10.85）mmHg],差异有统计学意义（t=5.24、8.173,P<0.05）。干预组在入手术室麻醉前及导管拔出时的心率较对照组稳定[（71.23±7.26）次/min vs （80.26±7.63）次/min,（77.39±5.63）次/min vs （85.26±11.69）次/min],差异有统计学意义（t=6.358、8.241,P<0.05）。麻醉前及术后3 d干预组SAS评分低于对照组[（42.63±76.69）分vs （48.26±6.62）分,（43.16±6.32）分vs（46.28±5.32）分],差异有统计学意义（t=2.356、2.145,P<0.05）。 结论手术室心理干预对造口旁疝术患者的情绪及生理特征具有显著的稳定作用。     

Efficacy of the Predicted Operation Time (POT) Strategy for Synchronous Colorectal Liver Metastasis (SCLM): Feasibility Study for Staged Resection in Patients with a Long POT

Background

The optimal surgical strategy for resectable synchronous colorectal liver metastases (SCLM), whether simultaneous or staged resections, still remains obscure. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the predicted operation time (POT) strategy, which recommends staged resections in case of POT ≥6 h, otherwise selecting simultaneous resection.

Methods

This was a prospective, nonrandomized, single-institution study. Fifty-nine patients with SCLM underwent tumor resection according to the POT strategy, with patients with a longer POT (≥6 h) undergoing staged resection. Morbidity, overall hospitalization, tumor resection rates, and survival were compared with that of 86 patients who underwent simultaneous resection for SCLM irrespective of POT from 1992 to 2004.

Results

The former simultaneous and the latter POT strategy groups were similar in terms of patient and tumor demographics as well as surgical procedures. Of the 59 POT group patients, 26 patients (44 %) experienced 40 postoperative complications. Comparing the surgical results of simultaneous resection from 1992 to 2004 and those of resection according to the POT strategy, morbidity (64 vs. 44 %, p?=?0.02), frequency of anastomotic leakage (21 vs. 5 %, p?<?0.01), and length of hospital stay (27 vs. 18 days, p?<?0.01) were significantly lower in the latter group, while tumor resection rates (85 vs. 87 %, p?=?0.77) were not different.

Conclusions

The POT strategy is effective in reducing the morbidity in SCLM patients by selecting staged resections in the high-morbidity-risk group without adverse effects on oncologic outcome.     

Biventricular repair with end-to-side aorta to pulmonary artery central shunt for ventricular septal defect, severe pulmonary stenosis with hypoplastic pulmonary artery

The case was 11-month-old girl diagnosed as tetralogy of Fallot with severe pulmonary valve stenosis and suffering from severe cyanosis. A catheter study demonstrated pulmonary artery (PA) was well arborized, but severely hypoplastic in spite of previous transcatheter pulmonary valve dilatation; PA index was calculated as 69 mm2/m2. A central end-to-side aorta to PA shunt was created. Cyanosis was well improved, but congestive heart failure occurred after 1 month from the operation. Subsequent catheter study demonstrated pulmonary artery growth, 166 mm2/m2 of PA index and major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA) coil embolization was performed. Patient underwent Rastelli type definitive repair 9 month after palliation. The central end-to-side aorta to PA shunt is reported as useful measure for promoting PA size increase and definitive repair achievement in patient with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect and severely hypoplastic PA. Appropriate consideration of criteria, carefull follow up and treatments are necessary.     

临时性腔门静脉半转位术在门静脉栓塞患者肝移植术中作用

摘要：目的:探讨临时性腔门静脉半转位术(TCPHT)在门静脉栓塞(PVT)患者经典非转流肝移植(OLT)中的应用价值。 方法:总结5年间32例肝移植术前合并Yerdel Ⅲ~Ⅳ级PVT患者中11例施行TCPHT术（TCPHT组）、21例未施行TCPHT术(对照组)者的临床资料。比较两组患者的手术时间和无肝期时间、再灌注期平均动脉压（MAP）、中心静脉压（CVP）和肺动脉楔压（PAWP）等循环参数以及无肝期尿量、再灌注期尿量等肾功能参数。结果:TCPHT组和对照组手术时间和无肝期时间均无显著性差异（P>0.05）。两组比较，虽然术后第1天肾功能指标差异无显著性，但TCPHT组无肝期尿量明显增加，两者分别为（64.09±20.79）mL和（25.90±12.17）mL （P=0.033)；再灌注期尿量分别是(1254.56±311.81) mL和（800.00±375.83）mL,（P=0.002)，且TCPHT组术后需要透析的病例数较对照组显著减少(P<0.05)。体循环血流动力学显示，TCPHT组较对照组开放后具有更加稳定的MAP，两组分别为(76.45±12.67)mmHg和（66.52±7.48）mmHg（P=0.032)；CVP分别为（13.96±1.74）cm H2O和（12.44±1.07）cm H2O （P=0.005)；PAWP分别为（24.04±1.48）mmHg和（22.81±1.23）mmHg （P=0.018)。结论:TCPHT能有效地稳定门静脉栓塞患者肝移植再灌注期血流动力学，减少术后肾功能不全的发生率，而不增加手术难度。     

Long-term outcome for right heart function after biventricular repair of pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum.

OBJECTIVES: The right heart function of the patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum was assessed periodically during the process of staged biventricular repair, and the implications for its long-term outcome were analyzed. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: During the period from 1971 to 1990, 21 neonates or infants with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum had undergone initial palliative surgery. There were seven early postoperative deaths and one late death. Of the 13 survivors, 10 patients underwent subsequent biventricular repair and form the basis of this study. Their clinical records of roentgenography, electrocardiography, and catheterization studies at each staged period were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Arrhythmia occurred late in 2 patients, one of whom died by arrhythmia at 11 years after definitive surgical repair. Therefore the actuarial survival rate was 85.7% at 14 years. The catheterization study after the definitive biventricular repair revealed a significant fall in the right heart pressure (p = 0.0005) and significant improvement in the right ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.0004). In angiocardiography, dilatation of the right atrium was noted in all patients and was more marked in those who developed arrhythmia in conjunction with rapid growth of the right ventricle. Moreover, the serial repeated electrocardiography disclosed progressive and significant prolongation of both PQ interval (p = 0.003) and QRS duration (p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS: Although biventricular repair for pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum proved to attain a satisfactory long-term result, it failed to resolve right heart dysfunction. Postoperative arrhythmia was prone to precipitate progressive dilatation of the right atrium.     

Surgical strategy for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect associated with severely hypoplastic or absent central pulmonary artery

In patients of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect associated with profound hypoplasia or complete absence of central pulmonary artery, surgical strategy depends on the morphology of native pulmonary artery and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). Type of surgery and timing of operation are determined by detailed analysis of angiography and 3-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) scan. When native central pulmonary artery exists, palliative procedure like systemicpulmonary shunt or palliative right ventricular outflow tract is recommended in order to promote growth of native pulmonary artery, followed by Rastelli-type definitive repair with/without uniforcalization of MAPCAs. In case of central pulmonary artery absence, staged reconstruction of bilateral pulmonary vascular bed by repeated uniforcalization or 1 stage uniforcalization and Rastelli operation is indicated. However, even after definitive repair, careful attention and scheduled cardiac catheterization with aggressive catheter intervention are required to maintain adequate pulmonary circulation.     

Ultrafiltration Volume Is Associated with Changes in Blood Pressure in Chronically Hemodialyzed Patients

Introduction.?Volume overload is a main factor in development of hypertension in hemodialysis patients. In order to demonstrate impact of ultrafiltration volume on blood pressure during 15-months period in a group of patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis therapy, we conducted this study. We hypothesized that ultrafiltration volume different affects the pre/postdialysis systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure (PP) values. Subjects and Methods.?Study subjects were 23 anuric chronically hemodialyzed patients. The overall study time was 15 months, and 136 single hemodialysis treatments were analyzed. Results.?Ultrafiltration was negatively correlated with predialysis systolic blood pressure (r = ?0.169, p = 0.025), postdialysis systolic blood pressure (r = ?0.292, p<0.001), postdialysis MAP (r = ?0.186, p = 0.015), predialysis PP (r = ?0.290, p<0.001), and postdialysis PP (r = ?0.370, p<0.001). Ultrafiltration/dry body mass (UF/W) ratio was negatively correlated with predialysis PP (r = ?0.222, p = 0.005), postdialysis PP (r = ?0.340, p<0.001), and postdialysis systolic blood pressure (r = ?0.243, p = 0.002). We found significant difference in postdialysis PP between dialyses with UF/W ratio ≤0.05 and dialyses with UF/W ratio >0.05 (63.49 ± 20.76 vs. 56.27 ± 16.33 mmHg, p = 0.033). Conclusion.?The ultrafiltration volume strongly affects postdialysis PP values. Evaluation of elevated blood pressure treatment in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis therapy must be considered in respect of postdialysis PP values, not just depending on pre/postdialysis systolic and diastolic pressure or MAP values.     

Effects of inosine on reperfusion injury after heart transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: Inosine, a break-down product of adenosine, has been recently shown to exert inodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. We investigated the effects of inosine on ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat heart transplantation model. METHODS: Intraabdominal heterotopic transplantation was performed in Lewis rats. After 1h of ischemic preservation, reperfusion was started after application of either saline vehicle (control, n=12) or inosine (100 mg/kg, n=12). Coronary blood flow, left ventricular function, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation to acetylcholine and endothelium-independent vasodilatation to sodium nitroprusside, and high energy phosphate content were measured after 1 and 24h of reperfusion. In addition, the activation of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was detected by immunhistology. RESULTS: After 1h, coronary blood flow (4.1+/-0.3 ml/(ming) vs 2.9+/-0.3 ml/(ming), p<0.05), left ventricular systolic pressure (102+/-9 mmHg vs 83+/-4 mmHg, p<0.05) and dP/dt (2765+/-609 mmHg/s vs 1740+/-116 mmHg/s, p<0.05) were significantly higher in the inosine group in comparison to control. Vasodilatatory response to sodium nitroprusside was similar in both groups. Acetylcholine resulted in a significantly higher increase in coronary blood flow in the inosine group (76+/-5% vs 48+/-9%, p<0.05). Energy charge potential was significantly higher in the inosine group (1.69+/-0.10 micromol/g vs 0.74+/-0.27 micromol/g, p<0.05). After 24h, there was no difference between the groups in basal coronary blood flow, left ventricular systolic pressure, dP/dt, and the response to sodium nitroprusside. However, acetylcholine led to a still significantly higher response in the inosine group (112+/-13% vs 88+/-7%, p<0.05). Immunhistologic stainings revealed activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in control animals which was abolished by inosine. CONCLUSIONS: Thus, inosine improves myocardial and endothelial function during early reperfusion after heart transplantation with a persisting beneficial effect against reperfusion induced graft coronary endothelial dysfunction. The effects of inosine are mediated at least partly by modulation of the peroxynitrite-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase pathway.     

不同CO2气腹压对腹腔镜胆总管探查术后肝肠功能的影响

目的 观察比较不同CO₂ 气腹压力对腹腔镜胆总管探查术后患者肝功能与肠功能的影响。方法 前瞻性分析2018 年1 月至2019 年6 月安徽医科大学附属安庆医院普外科符合标准的45 例腹腔镜胆总管探查术患者，采用随机对照的方法分为两组，A组23 例（气腹压力为8～12 mmHg），B组22 例（气腹压力为13～15 mmHg），比较两组患者术后肝功能、血清前白蛋白（PA）及肠功能恢复情况。结果 与B组比，A组术后第1 天血清ALT [（55.51±19.43）U/L vs（ 69.90±19.82）U/L，P=0.018]、AST [（58.26±16.09）U/L vs（ 71.64±19.43）U/L，P=0.009]、血清TBIL [（23.44±7.88）μmol/L vs（ 32.48±13.96）μmol/L，P=0.010]，均明显降低（P＜0.05）。两组术后第4 天血清ALT、AST、TBIL均基本恢复至正常水平。两组PA水平均在术后第1天有所下降，组间差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。术后第4天PA值，A组明显高于B组[（34.90±5.67）mg/dL vs（ 28.08±4.41）mg/dL，P＜0.05）]，A组术后肠鸣音恢复时间[（11.22±3.42）h vs（18.50±5.87）h，P＜0.001]、排气时间[（15.74±2.94）h vs（ 22.95±5.33）h，P＜0.001]均短于B组（P＜0.05）。两组手术时间[（68.52±15.57）min vs（ 60.45±16.85）min，P=0.10]差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论 8～12 mmHg气腹压力对腹腔镜胆总管探查术患者肝功能、前白蛋白的影响相对较小，适当的低气腹压更利于腹腔镜胆总管探查术患者的早期恢复。     

Asymptomatic carotid stenosis: selective or routine use of intraluminal shunt

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the use of temporary intraluminal shunt (IS) during operations in our patients for asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) of the internal carotid artery (ICA). METHODS: Complications of ICA endarterectomy were reviewed in two groups of asymptomatic patients. In group A (144 patients, operation 1972-1985) temporary IS was used in 43 patients with the intraoperatively measured ICA back pressure <50 mmHg. In group B (170 patients, operation 1986-1998) shunt was used in all cases. RESULTS: The incidence of neurologic deficit was higher ia group A than in group B (5.6% vs 1.2%, p<0.05). Within group A, the incidence of neurologic deficit was significantly higher in the subgroup with back pressure >50 mmHg, and thus without shunt, than in group B with routine use of shunt (6.0% vs 1.2%, p<0.05). There were no differences in the incidence of shunt-related complications between the groups (3.0% vs 4.0%, p>0.05). We had no mortality after operations of asymptomatic patients. CONCLUSIONS: The routine use of IS reduced the rate of intraoperative and early postoperative neurologic complications of asymptomatic carotid endarterectomy, and it was not associated with a higher incidence of complications.

Staged repair of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major systemic to pulmonary artery collaterals

Fifty-eight consecutive patients with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries with arborization defects, and major aortopulmonary collaterals were entered into a program for staged surgical repair between January 1979 and July 1989. Prerepair preparatory procedures were designed to (1) encourage native pulmonary artery growth by increasing blood flow and (2) unifocalize pulmonary blood supply by transplanting or ligating major collaterals. A total of 121 staging procedures were performed with an overall mortality of 10.3%. One hundred thirty-four major collaterals were either ligated or transplanted. Thirty patients eventually underwent hemodynamic repair with an early mortality of 3.3% and late mortality of 10.0%. Twenty-six current survivors of repair remain clinically well after a mean follow-up of 3.6 years. Ten patients are currently in various stages of preparation. Twelve patients (20.7%) failed to achieve minimum requirements for repair after staging and await further palliation or heart-lung transplantation. The principles of management have evolved over the years and are discussed.     

The influence of intraarterial prostaglandin E(1) on vascular hydraulic impedance and infrainguinal graft patency.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of intraoperative arterial prostaglandin E(1)(alprostadil) infusion on hydraulic impedance in relation to graft patency. METHODS: Hydraulic impedance was measured in 115 infrainguinal bypasses by means of the extracorporeal-bypass-flow method (EBF). Fifty-eight femoro-popliteal and 57 femoro-crural polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts were included. 10 microg of alprostadil were administered into a temporary bypass and the haemodynamic changes were recorded. The reactions of input (Z(x)) and characteristic (Z(0)) impedances as well as phase relations were derived and related to graft outcome after three years. RESULTS: Significant changes after administration of prostaglandin were observed for overall pressure (74 vs. 84 mmHg, p<0.01), flow rate (194 vs 160 ml/min, p<0.01), input impedance (0.55 vs. 0.75 PRU, p<0.01) and the phase angle of the first harmonic (-18 degrees vs -26 degrees, p<0.01). An increase of at least one degree of the first harmonic phase angle following alprostadil injection in the crural bypass group was associated with a significant better graft prognosis of crural (p<0.01) but not popliteal grafts. Primary and secondary patency rates after three years for crural grafts with an increase of at least one degree were 62% and 63% (n=45) and for non-responders 18% and 0% (n=12, p(prim)<0.01, p(sec)<0.001). All crural bypasses with poor prostaglandin reaction occluded within 9 months (n=12) after the operation. CONCLUSIONS: The EBF method allows a combined assessment of peripheral resistance and impedance parameters. The response of the first harmonic phase angle provides important predictive information regarding femoro-crural grafts.     

Influence of combined zero-balanced and modified ultrafiltration on the systemic inflammatory response during coronary artery bypass grafting.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether combined zero-balanced and modified ultrafiltration affects the systemic inflammatory response in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. DESIGN: Randomized and controlled. SETTING: University-affiliated heart center. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-three patients scheduled for elective CABG. INTERVENTIONS: In the ultrafiltration group (UF group; n = 21), zero-balanced ultrafiltration was performed during rewarming and modified ultrafiltration immediately after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A control group of patients (n = 22) was treated identically to the treatment group except no ultrafiltration process was performed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Immediately after CPB (ie, after zero-balanced ultrafiltration), and again after the modified ultrafiltration, the concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were significantly less (p < 0.05) in the UF group compared with the control group. Both proinflammatory cytokine levels peaked at 2 and 4 hours after CPB, at which time no difference between the two groups could be observed. The levels of measured anti-inflammatory mediators (interleukin-10 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) did not show any difference between the two groups. Intrapulmonary shunt fraction decreased in the course of the modified ultrafiltration from 31% +/- 1.2% to 25% +/- 1.3% (p < 0.01), whereas mean arterial pressure increased (69 +/- 1.8 to 80 +/- 2.8 mmHg; p < 0.01); neither parameter changed in the control group. Time to extubation was shorter in the UF group (6.1 +/- 0.5 v 8.6 +/- 0.7 hours; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the use of ultrafiltration diminished inflammatory response in a very limited time period immediately after CPB and, probably as a consequence, slightly improved clinical parameters.
