应用国产封堵器在治疗先天性心脏病的临床疗效分析

目的 总结国产封堵器经皮和经胸途径治疗先天性心脏病的临床疗效。方法 回顾性分析我院2013年1月至2017年12月在X线透视下或单纯超声心动图引导下采用经皮穿刺股静脉或股动静脉法，或者食管超声心动图监测下经胸小切口行先天性心脏病封堵1186例，其中经皮X线下封堵1081例、经皮单纯超声引导下封堵42例、经胸封堵63例；其中动脉导管未闭（ patent ductus arteriole，PDA）426例、房间隔缺损（atrial septal defect，ASD）363例、室间隔缺损（ventricular septal defect，VSD）348例、卵圆孔未闭11例、房间隔缺损合并室间隔缺损9例、房间隔缺损合并动脉导管未闭6例、房间隔缺损合并肺动脉瓣狭窄（pulmonary stenosis，PS）12例、动脉导管未闭合并肺动脉瓣狭窄8例、主肺动脉侧支封堵3例[经胸封堵66例改为63例，PDA443例改为426例]。结果 全组病例成功率98.2％（1165/1186），无死亡病例。随访1~36个月，术后第1、3、6、12个月及术后每年常规行超声心动图及心电图检查。术后第1、6、12个月的随访率分别为 92.9%（1102/1186）、84.1%（998/1186）、70.5%（836/1186）。超声心动图提示少量残余分流（<3 mm）18例；三尖瓣少量反流33例，中量反流5例；主动脉瓣轻度反流5例，中度反流1例；心律失常Ⅲ°房室传导阻滞（Avionics Bulletin，AVB[房室传导阻滞（Avionics Bulletin，AVB）]）1 例，Ⅱ°AVB 3例，完全性左束支3例，交界性心动过速3例，交界性逸搏2例。结论 国产封堵器在先天性心脏病封堵治疗中具有成功率高、创伤小、并发症低、操作容易、疗效确切、恢复快等特点，是治疗先天性心脏病的理想方法。     

Uncalcified Synovial Chondromatosis in the Pisotriquetral Joint

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare lesion in the wrist, but some cases in the distal radioulnar joint have been reported and previous case reports emphasize joint calcifications, shown on preoperative plain radiographs. We report an extremely uncommon case of synovial chondromatosis in the pisotriquetral joint, in which radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging did not demonstrate apparent calcified bodies. In our case, for the accurate diagnosis and treatment, surgical exploration of the joint and synovectomy with removal of loose bodies was performed.     

Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) key genes analysis in rat anti-CD28-induced immune tolerance kidney transplantation

BackgroundIn the field of transplantation, inducing immune tolerance in recipients is of great importance. Blocking co-stimulatory molecule using anti-CD28 antibody could induce tolerance in a rat kidney transplantation model. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) reveals strong immune suppressive abilities in kidney transplantation. Here we analyzed key genes of MDSCs leading to transplant tolerance in this model.MethodsMicroarray data of rat gene expression profiles under accession number {"type":"entrez-geo","attrs":{"text":"GSE28545","term_id":"28545"}}GSE28545 in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were analyzed. Running the LIMMA package in R language, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found. Enrichment analysis of the DEGs was conducted in the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) database to explore gene ontology (GO) annotation and their Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. Their protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were provided by STRING database and was visualized in Cytoscape. Hub genes were carried out by CytoHubba.ResultsThree hundred and thirty-eight DEGs were exported, including 27 upregulated and 311 downregulated genes. The functions and KEGG pathways of the DEGs were assessed and the PPI network was constructed based on the string interactions of the DEGs. The network was visualized in Cytoscape; the entire PPI network consisted of 192 nodes and 469 edges. Zap70, Cdc42, Stat1, Stat4, Ccl5 and Cxcr3 were among the hub genes.ConclusionsThese key genes, corresponding proteins and their functions may provide valuable background for both basic and clinical research and could be the direction of future studies in immune tolerance, especially those examining immunocyte-induced tolerance.     

Improved Diagnostic Sensitivity of Bowel Disease of Prematurity on Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound

Bowel diseases of prematurity, including necrotizing enterocolitis, are dreaded ailments of neonates. Early diagnosis is difficult, with clinical and radiographic findings often inconclusive. We present a novel use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in detection of pediatric bowel disease. Early identification of compromised blood flow or an at-risk bowel can be quantitatively detected and monitored. This ability has implications for guidance of emerging therapies, allowing targeting of inflammation. These findings represent an advancement in detection of bowel disease in neonates.
