BackgroundHuman tissue samples are an invaluable and little available source of information for translational studies of congenital lung diseases such as Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) or Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM).PurposeWe aimed to establish a human lung tissue biobank of CDH and CPAM patients together with age-matched controls, coupled with a clinical database.MethodsPathology records from autopsies or surgical specimens for CDH and CPAM cases between 1980 and 2017 were reviewed. For surviving individuals, clinical patient data was obtained from corresponding pediatric surgery reports. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of patients and age-matched controls were systematically stored for further translational studies. RNA integrity was determined on selected CDH blocks.ResultsA total of 16 CDH and 18 CPAM and age-matched control lung tissue blocks were included in our biobank. Ages ranged from 22 to 41 weeks of gestation (GA) in CDH (33.9 ± 6.35 weeks) and 26 weeks (GA) and 12 years in CPAM (2.3 ± 3.7 y). RNA isolation from CDH and control blocks yielded good RNA quality (OD 260/280 ratio: 2.01–2.09, OD 260/230 ratio: 2.04–2.09).ConclusionWe established a unique human biobank for CDH and CPAM tissues. The combination with clinical patient data will allow us to design future translational studies to improve our understanding of the disease pathogenesis of these congenital malformations. 相似文献

The last two decades have seen continuous advances in prenatal ultrasonography and in utero magnetic resonance imaging. These technologies have increasingly enabled the identification of various spinal pathologies during early stages of gestation. The purpose of this paper is to review the range of fetal spine anomalies and their management, with the goal of improving the clinician's ability to counsel expectant parents prenatally. 相似文献

Background/Purpose
Although intuitive, the benefit of prenatal evaluation and multidisciplinary perinatal management for fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is unproven. We compared the outcome of prenatally diagnosed patients with CDH whose perinatal management was by a predefined protocol with those who were diagnosed postnatally and managed by the same team. We hypothesized that patients with CDH undergoing prenatal evaluation with perinatal planning would demonstrate improved outcome.Methods
Retrospective chart review of all patients with Bochdalek-type CDH at a single institution between 2004 and 2009 was performed. Patients were stratified by history of perinatal management, and data were analyzed by Fisher's Exact test and Student's t test.Results
Of 116 patients, 71 fetuses presented in the prenatal period and delivered at our facility (PRE), whereas 45 infants were either outborn or postnatally diagnosed (POST). There were more high-risk patients in the PRE group compared with the POST group as indicated by higher rates of liver herniation (63% vs 36%, P = .03), need for patch repair (57% vs 27%, P = .004), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use (35% vs 18%, P = .05). Despite differences in risk, there was no difference in 6-month survival between groups (73% vs 73%).Conclusions
Patients with CDH diagnosed prenatally are a higher risk group. Prenatal evaluation and multidisciplinary perinatal management allows for improved outcome in these patients. 相似文献4.

Most babies born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) die after birth. The natural course of CDH in the human fetus is not known. We found 94 cases of fetal CDH in the records of surgeons and obstetricians surveyed in the United States and Canada. We found the following: (1) prenatal diagnosis of CDH is accurate and current techniques can detect lethal nonpulmonary anomalies and prevent diagnostic errors; (2) despite optimal conventional therapy, most fetuses with detectable CDH will die in the neonatal period (80% mortality); (3) polyhydramnios is both a common prenatal marker for CDH (present in 76% of fetuses) and a predictor for poor clinical outcome (only 11% survived); (4) fetal CDH is a dynamic process--nonsurvivors have larger defects and may have more viscera displaced into the chest at an earlier stage of development. Surgical intervention before birth may be necessary to improve survival of the fetus with CDH and polyhydramnios. 相似文献

Purpose
This study aim to assess the potential of prenatal predictors of postnatal severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and to define a new prenatal pulmonary hypertension index (PPHI).Methods
A retrospective chart review of CDH patients between May 2005 and October 2008 was conducted. Ten patients with systemic/suprasystemic and 9 patients with subsystemic pulmonary hypertension at 3 weeks of age were identified. Diameters of the right pulmonary artery, left pulmonary artery (LPAd), aorta, and the length of vermis of the cerebellum were obtained from prenatal magnetic resonance imaging to calculate the PPHI [=(LPAd/length of vermis of the cerebellum) × 10] and the modified McGoon index (MGI) [=(diameter of the right pulmonary artery + LPAd)/diameter of aorta]. Prenatal pulmonary hypertension index and MGI were compared with lung-to-head ratio, percent predicted lung volume, and total lung volume for pulmonary hypertension and survival.Results
The PPHI and MGI had a significant, negative correlation with pulmonary hypertension (r = −0.61, P = .005, and r = −0.72, P < .005, respectively). The PPHI and MGI are significantly lower in the systemic/suprasystemic PAH group compared with the subsystemic PAH group (1.11 ± 0.32 versus 1.63 ± 0.28, P = .004, and 0.71 ± 0.15 versus 1.05 ± 0.11, P < .001, respectively). There were no significant differences between the groups comparing the lung-to-head ratio, percent predicted lung volume, and total lung volume.Conclusion
Both PPHI and MGI accurately predict the severity of postnatal PAH in isolated left CDH. 相似文献6.

Background/Purpose
Differences in clinical features between congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and bronchial atresia (BA) have not yet been clearly described.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 112 patients with a pathological diagnosis of CPAM or BA. The clinical parameters were statistically analyzed between these diseases.Results
Seventy-one patients received prenatal diagnosis and 41 received postnatal diagnosis. The percentage of prenatal diagnosis was significantly higher in CPAM patients (84% vs 50%, p?<?0.001). Among patients with prenatal diagnosis, the backgrounds were not different between the two diseases except for the number of Caesarean sections (81% vs 9%, p?<?0.0001). The numbers of patients that underwent fetal interventions and emergent neonatal surgery were higher in CPAM (51% vs 15%, p?<?0.01 and 76% vs 12%, p?<?0.0001), although there was no statistical difference in survival rate (86% vs 97%, p?=?0.2). In patients receiving postnatal diagnosis, pneumonia was the primary symptom in most BA patients, whereas respiratory distress was the major symptom in patients with CPAM. Age at presentation of the primary symptom was significantly older in BA patients (4.2?years vs 1.2?years, p?<?0.005).Conclusion
CPAM and BA have distinct clinical features in terms of therapeutic and natural history. Careful imaging evaluation and pathological analysis can lead to an accurate diagnosis of BA.Type of study

Background
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition that is characterized by pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. Prenatal betamethasone often is administered to fetuses with CDH to improve pulmonary function. In this study, the authors investigate the possible role of the adrenal-hypophyseal axis in CDH in an animal model and subsequently in human infants with CDH.Methods
Twin fetal sheep underwent creation of DH or a sham thoracotomy, and levels of plasma and lung ACTH and plasma cortisol were compared. For the human studies, plasma levels of ACTH, cortisol, and DHEA were measured in cord blood samples collected from 9 CDH (5 that received prenatal betamethasone) and compared with those of 14 normal newborns. In both studies, ACTH and cortisol levels were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Human (DHEA) levels were determined by ELISA.Results
Plasma ACTH and cortisol levels were elevated in fetal DH sheep compared with sham-operated controls; however, levels of ACTH in lung tissues were not different. Human newborns with CDH who have been exposed to prenatal steroids have significantly lower plasma ACTH, cortisol, and DHEA levels than normal newborns and CDH newborns not exposed to prenatal betamethasone.Conclusions
In an ovine model of CDH, the adrenal-hypophyseal axis appears up-regulated in DH fetuses compared with sham-operated animals. Conversely, the adrenal-hypophyseal axis in human CDH newborns appears normal but is suppressed by the administration of prenatal betamethasone. 相似文献8.

Purpose
Maternal factors contributing to the etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remain unclear. We hypothesized that specific maternal medical conditions (pregestational diabetes, hypertension), and behaviors (alcohol, tobacco) would be associated with CDH.Methods
We conducted a population-based case–control study using Washington State birth certificates linked to hospital discharge records (1987–2009). We identified all infants with CDH (n = 492). Controls were randomly selected among non-CDH infants. Maternal data were extracted from the birth record. Logistic regression was used to adjust for covariates.Results
Cases and controls were generally similar regarding demographics, although CDH infants were more likely to be male than controls (58.5% vs. 52.5%). Isolated and complex (multiple-anomaly) CDH had similar characteristics. Each of the exposures of interest was more common among case mothers than among control mothers. In univariate analysis, alcohol use, hypertension, and pregestational diabetes were each significantly associated with the outcome. After multivariate adjustment, only alcohol use (OR = 3.65, p = 0.01) and pregestational diabetes (OR = 12.53, p = 0.003) maintained significance. Results were similar for both isolated and complex CDH.Conclusions
Maternal pregestational diabetes and alcohol use are significantly associated with occurrence of CDH in infants. These are important modifiable risk factors to consider with regard to efforts seeking to impact the incidence of CDH. 相似文献9.

Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been described previously,
but few neonatal cases of CDH have been reported. This study aimed to report the multicenter experience of these rare cases
and to compare the laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approaches.
Methods Using MIS procedures, 30 patients (16 boys and 14 girls) from nine centers underwent surgery for CDH within the first month
of life, 26 before day 5. Only one patient had associated malformations. There were 10 preterm patients (32–36 weeks of gestational
age). Their weight at birth ranged from 1,800 to 3,800 g, with three patients weighing less than 2,600 g. Of the 30 patients,
18 were intubated at birth.
Results The MIS procedures were performed in 18 cases by a thoracoscopic approach and in 12 cases by a laparoscopic approach. No severe
complication was observed. For 20 patients, reduction of the intrathoracic contents was achieved easily with 15 thoracoscopies
and 5 laparoscopies. In six cases, the reduction was difficult, proving to be impossible for the four remaining patients:
one treated with thoracoscopy and three with laparoscopy. The reasons for the inability to reduce the thoracic contents were
difficulty of liver mobilization (1 left CDH and 2 right CDH) and the presence of a dilated stomach in the thorax. Reductions
were easier for cases of wide diaphragmatic defects using thoracoscopy. There were 10 conversions (5 laparoscopies and 5 thoracoscopies).
The reported reasons for conversion were inability to reduce (n = 4), need for a patch (n = 5), lack of adequate vision (n = 4), narrow working space (n = 1), associated bowel malrotation (n = 1), and an anesthetic problem (n = 1). Five defects were too large for direct closure and had to be closed with a patch. Four required conversion, with one
performed through video-assisted thoracic surgery. The recurrences were detected after two primer thoracoscopic closures,
one of which was managed by successful reoperation using thoracoscopy.
Conclusions In the neonatal period, CDH can be safely closed using MIS procedures. The overall success rate in this study was 67%. The
indication for MIS is not related to weeks of gestational age, to weight at birth (if >2,600 g), or to the extent of the immediate
neonatal care. Patients with no associated anomaly who are hemodynamically stabilized can benefit from MIS procedures. Reduction
of the herniated organs is easier using thoracoscopy. Right CDH, liver lobe herniation, and the need for a patch closure are
the most frequent reasons for conversion. 相似文献

Background/Purpose
Although the pulmonary vascular abnormalities in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are described from a morphologic point of view, the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains one of the main unsolved problems in clinical daily practice. For this reason, detailed studies in well-validated animal models could still be of significance in our understanding of the pathogenesis of CDH.Methods
In does of 23 days’ gestational age (GA), 39 fetuses underwent creation of diaphragmatic hernia (DH) and 15 fetuses a sham thoracotomy (SHAM). Thirty-nine nonoperated littermates served as internal controls (CTR). Fetuses were harvested by cesarean section on days 25, 27, 29, and 30 of gestation. Lung specimens were obtained and formalin fixed for further vascular morphometry studies.Results
Lung vessels from DH fetuses started to show significantly smaller internal diameter (ID), external diameter (ED), larger arterial wall thickness (WT), and, in particular, a proportionally higher medial thickness (%MT) and adventitial thickness (%AT) from day 27 onward when compared with control fetuses. SHAM fetuses, which were harvested at term, showed no differences with CTR.Conclusions
This is the first report documenting changes over time in the vascular system in a rabbit fetal model of surgically induced DH. These changes mimic pathologic findings observed in human fetuses and are also concordant with earlier observations in the surgical ovine model and the toxic nitrofen rat model. 相似文献12.
BackgroundCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is characterized by defects in the fetal diaphragm and thoracic herniation of the abdominal viscera. The ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure is used to establish the fetal airway while on placental support. These EXIT procedures are commonly performed under general anesthesia, which increases maternal bleeding and the risk of insufficient placental perfusion subsequently. This study investigated the feasibility of performing neuraxial anesthesia for the EXIT procedure for fetal congenital diaphragmatic hernia to improve outcomes.MethodsParturients with fetal CDH who underwent an EXIT procedure between January 2019 and May 2021 in our institution were recruited. Variables evaluated included gestational age, surgical time, intra-operative blood loss, peri-operative hemoglobin, maternal complications, fetal lung-to-head ratio, time on placental bypass, and postnatal outcome.ResultsTwenty-two cases were included. All procedures were performed under neuraxial anesthesia. The median gestational age at the time of the EXIT procedure was 37 weeks. The median estimated blood loss was 200 mL. There was no report of an adverse maternal event. The placental bypass time was 142.9 ± 72.6 s, and access to the airway was successfully established within the bypass time. Twenty-one neonates reached an Apgar score of 9 at 5 min. In the first two hours after birth, the average pH of neonatal peripheral arterial blood was 7.35 ± 0.07 (n=19), and lactate level 1.85 ± 0.71 mmol/L (n=19).ConclusionsIn the EXIT procedure to establish an airway for fetal CDH, neuraxial anesthesia proved a feasible technique for maternal anesthesia. 相似文献

Background/Purpose
The aim of this study was to establish a prenatal prognostic classification system for risk-stratified management in fetuses with isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).Methods
A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study of isolated CDH, diagnosed prenatally in fetuses delivered during the 2002 to 2007 period at 5 participating institutions in Japan, was conducted. The risk stratification system was formulated based on the odds ratios of prenatal parameters for mortality at 90 days. The clinical severity in CDH infants were compared among the stratified risk groups.Results
Patients were classified into the 3 risk groups: group A (n = 48) consisted of infants showing liver-down with contralateral lung-to-thorax transverse area ratio (L/T) ratio ≥0.08; group B of infants showing liver-down with L/T ratio <0.08 or liver-up with L/T ratio ≥0.08 (n = 35), and group C of infants showing liver-up with L/T ratio <0.08 (n = 20). The mortality at 90 days in groups A, B, and C were 0.0%, 20.0%, and 65.0%, respectively. The intact discharge rates were 95.8%, 60.0%, and 5.0%, respectively. This system also accurately reflected the clinical severity in CDH infants.Conclusions
Our prenatal risk stratification system, which demonstrated a significant difference in postnatal status and final outcome, would allow for accurate estimation of the severity of disease in fetuses with isolated CDH, although it needs prospective validation in a different population. 相似文献14.

BackgroundTo further strengthen the evidence base on the use of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) we performed a Delphi consensus. The aim of this paper is to establish consensus on the indications and contraindications for the use of REBOA in trauma and non-trauma patients based on the existing evidence and expertise.Study DesignA literature review facilitated the design of a three-round Delphi questionnaire. Delphi panelists were identified by the investigators. Consensus was reached when at least 70% of the panelists responded to the survey and more than 70% of respondents reached agreement or disagreement.ResultsPanel members reached consensus on potential indications, contra-indications and settings for use of REBOA (excluding the pre hospital environment), physiological parameters for patient selection and indications for early femoral access. Panel members failed to reach consensus on the use of REBOA in patients in extremis (no pulse, no blood pressure) and the use of REBOA in patients with two major bleeding sites.ConclusionsConsensus was reached on indications, contra indications, physiological parameters for patient selection for REBOA and early femoral access. The panel did not reach consensus on the use of REBOA in patients in pre-hospital settings, patients in extremis (no pulse, no blood pressure) and in patients with 2 or more major bleeding sites. Further research should focus on the indications of REBOA in pre hospital settings, patients in near cardiac arrest and REBOA inflation times. 相似文献

Background
Lung and pulmonary vascular maldevelopment in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) results in significant morbidity and mortality. Retinoic acid (RA) and imatinib have been shown to improve pulmonary morphology following prenatal administration in the rat nitrofen-induced CDH model. It remains unclear if these changes translate into improved function. We evaluated the effect of prenatal RA and imatinib on postnatal lung function, structure, and pulmonary artery (PA) blood flow in the rat CDH model.Methods
Olive oil or nitrofen was administered alone or in combination with RA or imatinib to pregnant rats. Pups were assessed for PA blood flow by ultrasound and pulmonary function/morphology following delivery, intubation, and short-term ventilation.Results
Neither RA nor imatinib had a negative effect on lung and body growth. RA accelerated lung maturation indicated by increased alveoli number and thinner interalveolar septa and was associated with decreased PA resistance and improved oxygenation. With the exception of a decreased PA pulsatility index, no significant changes in morphology and pulmonary function were noted following imatinib.Conclusion
Prenatal treatment with RA but not imatinib was associated with improved pulmonary morphology and function, and decreased pulmonary vascular resistance. This study highlights the potential of prenatal pharmacologic therapies, such as RA, for management of CDH. 相似文献16.

The continuing high mortality in congenital diaphragmatic hernia led us to study the cardiopulmonary disturbances associated with this lesion. Since these infants infrequently have right-to-left shunting in the operating room, we adopted a treatment protocol of: continuing general anesthesia in the postoperative period using fentanyl and pancuronium; cardiac catheterization postoperatively, including placement of a pulmonary artery line and a pulmonary angiogram; rapid frequency ventilation; moderate fluid restriction; and avoidance of vasodilators until other means of management had clearly failed. Fourteen high-risk infants, presenting within 6 hours of birth, were studied and compared to 17 high-risk infants, who served as historical controls. As revealed by the physiologic data acquired in the catheterization laboratory, high-risk infants divided into "Responder" and "Nonresponder" groups. Seven of 10 "Responders" actually shunted left to right during the catheterization, demonstrating a low pulmonary vascular resistance. Seven of 10 subsequently demonstrated significant right-to-left shunting at the level of the ductus and the foramen ovale, indicating the hyperreactivity of the pulmonary vascular bed. All but one was managed successfully by ventilatory adjustments and deepening of the level of anesthesia. "Nonresponders" had a fixed right-to-left shunt unresponsive to any medical or ventilatory manipulation. All "Nonresponders" died. Pulmonary angiography suggested a smaller diameter of the affected pulmonary artery compared to the main pulmonary artery in the "Nonresponders." This implies true hypoplasia resulting in a vasculature too small to accept a full cardiac output. Survival in the treatment group "Responders" was eight of 10 (80%) v seven of 14 (50%) in the control group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Purpose
We sought to determine optimal timing for CPAM resection within the first year of life.Methods
We queried the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program pediatric database from 2012 to 2015 for elective CPAM resections on patients less than 1 year of age. Patients were divided by age in months: 1–3 (n = 57), 4–6 (n = 135), and 6–12 (n = 214). Patient operative variables and 30-day postoperative outcomes were compared.Results
A total of 406 patients were included with no differences in demographics or comorbidities. Median operative time increased with each older age category (115 min, 152 min, 163 min, respectively; p < 0.01). Thoracoscopic approach was less utilized in 1–3 months (40.4%) compared to the older two age categories (65.9% and 69.6%, respectively; p < 0.01). There were no differences by age in major complications, conversion to open, or readmissions. On multivariate analysis, ASA class ≥ 3 (p < 0.01) and prolonged operative time (p < 0.01) were associated with a major complication. Furthermore, operations on patients aged 6–12 months were associated with increased operative time (p < 0.01) regardless of operative approach.Conclusion
Elective CPAM resections are equally safe in patients 1–12 months of age. Earlier resection including both open and thoracoscopic resection is associated with decreased operative time.Level of Evidence

Objective
The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential of fetal pulmonary artery (PA) diameters to predict perinatal death and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).Study Design
In this prospective observational study, observed PA (main, right, and left) diameters were measured at the level of the 3 vessels in 21 fetuses with isolated CDH and in 85 controls at 22 to 36 weeks. The observed/expected (o/e) diameters of the main, contralateral, and ipsilateral PAs were calculated by comparing these measurements with reference values obtained in our previous study and correlated with perinatal death and postnatal PAH.Results
The o/e PA diameters were significantly reduced in fetuses with CDH compared to controls (P < .001) and in fetuses with CDH who died (P < .050). However, there was no significant association between PA diameters and PAH (P ≥ .050).Conclusions
The PA diameters might be useful to predict perinatal death in isolated CDH but not postnatal PAH, suggesting that PA diameters are probably related to the severity of pulmonary hypoplasia. 相似文献19.

Background/Purpose
The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the lung to thorax transverse area ratio (L/T ratio) and the observed to expected lung area to head circumference ratio (O/E LHR), based on the results of a nationwide Japanese survey conducted in 2011, and to evaluate the compatibility of these prognostic predictors of fetal CDH.Methods
Two hundred and forty-two prenatally diagnosed isolated CDH patients born between 2006 and 2010 were included in the present analysis. A regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the L/T ratio and the O/E LHR based on 191 simultaneous measurements of these parameters in 120 patients.Results
The linear regression equation between the L/T ratio and the O/E LHR was: L/T ratio = 0.0233 + (0.00222 × O/E LHR), (R = 0.847, p < 0.0001). According to this equation, 25% of the O/E LHR, the cut-off value used in the fetal intervention for CDH, was equivalent to an L/T ratio of 0.08, a commonly accepted cut-off value for identifying the most severe cases of fetal CDH.Conclusions
As there is a positive correlation between the L/T ratio and the O/E LHR, these two parameters proved to be used interchangeably according to the linear regression equation. 相似文献20.
