Aortic root dilatation may alter the dimensions of the valve leaflets

Objective: Valve-sparing surgery can be used in patients with dilated aortic roots and aortic insufficiency (AI) but has not become a common practice, in part because the spared valve may be incompetent. Our goal was to study how the dimensions of the aortic root and leaflets have changed in such patients. Methods: Fourteen patients with dilated aortic root and AI were examined by transesophageal echocardiography. The annulus diameter, sinotubular junction (STJ) diameter, sinus height, leaflet free-edge length, and leaflet height were measured. Correlations among these dimensions and with the AI grades were explored. Measurements were also made in 19 normal human aortic valves from silicone molds. Results: There was no evident change in the average diameter of the annulus between the normal valves and those in the dilated aortic roots. The STJ diameter was obviously increased in the dilated aortic roots; the aortic sinuses also appeared to be taller and the leaflets larger than normal. The leaflet free-edge length, the leaflet height, and the sinus height were found to increase with the dilated STJ diameter. The degree of AI was not found to correlate well with any of the dimensions measured. Conclusions: The dimensions of the leaflets may change parallel to aortic root dilatation with AI. Therefore, during valve sparing, it may be necessary to correct both the dilatation of the root and the leaflet free-edge length to achieve a competent valve.

外引流术后的白内障超声乳化手术

目的：探讨抗青光眼餐引流术后的白内障患眼进行超声乳化吸除术的手术入路，操作方式及临床效果。方法：避开功能性滤过泡，选择角巩膜隧道切口或透明角膜切口，瞳孔麻痹性散大时，做一个完美的直径约5mm的连续环形撕囊以补偿之；恰当处理虹膜后粘连后，在病理性小瞳孔下完成超声乳化手术；眼压失控者行青光眼白内障人工晶体植入三联术。结果：无后囊破裂，人工晶体全部囊袋内植入，术后1周视力≥0．5者20只眼（64．5％），0．1－0．4者8只眼（25．8％），＜0．1者3只眼（9．7％）。随访1－16个月，眼压均在20.55mmHg以下。结论：体外流术后的白内障患眼，超声乳化手术因其切口小，并发症少，不破坏功能性滤过泡，不损伤瞳孔，是目前各种手术方法中的最佳选择。

Ductal shunting and effective systemic blood flow following single dose surfactant treatment in the premature baboon with hyaline membrane disease.

We studied the hemodynamic effects of using natural surfactant in premature baboons with hyaline membrane disease (HMD). Study animals (n = 5) received a single dose of surfactant immediately after delivery and control animals (n = 8) did not. Using microspheres at 3, 8, and 23 h we found no significant differences in left ventricular output, effective systemic flow, systemic-to-pulmonary patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunting, or in cerebral or renal organ blood flow. However, both groups had large PDA shunts (fraction of LVO to lungs greater than 0.40-0.55 at 3 and 8 h) resulting in low systemic perfusion (less than 80 ml/min/kg). Single dose surfactant did not improve the myocardial dysfunction and low cerebral and renal blood flow which occur during treatment for HMD.     

Increased apoptosis in third-trimester placental tissue from gestations complicated by PIH

Objective: To investigate a possible role of apoptosis in the pathophysiologic mechanisms of PIH ( pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome). Methods: In this study, placental samples were obtained from 16 uncomplicated third-trimester pregnancies and from 16 cases of PIH. We used light microscopy, electron microscopy to identify apoptosis. Light microscopy was used to quantify their incidence of apoptosis. Electron microscopy was used to confirm the occurrence of apoptosis. Results: Apoptosis has been conclusively demonstrated within human third-trimester placental tissue. Medians and interquartile ranges of normal placenta (n = 16) was 0. 12% (0. 08% -0. 19% ) ; Medians and interquartile ranges of PIH group (n = 16) was 0. 37% (0. 15% -0.49% ). Compared to normal placentas, the incidence of apoptosis was higher in placentas from gestations complicated by PIH ( P < 0. 05 , T'-test). Conclusion: Placental apoptosis increases significantly in PIH, and it may play a role in the pathophysiologic mechanisms
