Persistent fifth aortic arch associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion is frequently associated with conotruncal malformations and aortic arch anomalies. This study investigated the association of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion with clinical manifestations in four pediatric patients with persistent fifth aortic arch. METHODS: Four patients with persistent fifth aortic arch treated between July 1997 and June 2004 were included in this retrospective study. There were two girls and two boys, aged 2 days to 11.3 years, with persistent fifth aortic arch and cardiac conotruncal malformations. Chart recordings, plain chest films, two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization with angiograms, surgical findings, and cytogenetic study were analyzed. RESULTS: Clinically, all four patients had the cardinal phenotypic features of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, including cardiovascular malformations (conotruncal malformations and aortic arch anomalies), abnormal facies, thymic hypoplasia, canopy anomaly of the palate (high-arched palate, rather than cleft palate), and hypocalcemia (or hypoparathyroidism). All four patients were confirmed to have chromosome 22q11.2 deletion. CONCLUSION: Congenital conotruncal malformations, including tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia or stenosis, and aortic arch anomalies including a persistent fifth aortic arch or a right aortic arch, should lead to suspicion of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion when manifested together with any one of the other four cardinal phenotypic features.

随意皮瓣术后内皮素变化及其受体阻滞剂对皮瓣微循环的影响

目的:探讨随意皮瓣术后内皮素(ET)水平变化及内皮素受体阻滞剂BQ-123(A选择性)对随意皮瓣微循环的影响.方法:SD大鼠背部肉膜下形成随意皮瓣,测皮瓣组织ET的变化趋势.分用药组(BQ-123组)和对照组(生理盐水组),测皮瓣存活率,取材进行HE染色光镜检查,使用激光多谱勒血流仪测量皮瓣血运情况.结果:皮瓣术后ET水平急剧上升,24 h内维持较高水平.术后第10天,用药组皮瓣的存活率显著高于对照组.HE染色光镜检查见用药组组织损害较对照组小.激光多谱勒测量发现用药组较对照组激光多谱勒血流量相对值(LDF)下降少,恢复快.结论:皮瓣术后ET水平急剧上升,并维持较高水平,内皮素受体阻滞剂BQ-123(ETA高度选择性)可以阻断ET作用途径,有利于改善皮瓣微循环.     

食管癌3p24等位基因LOH及其扩增产物克隆的研究

目的；研究3p24EAβMD位点与食管癌的关系。为寻找该位点附近可能存在的抑癌基因奠定基础。方法：采用PCR—RFLP法检测45例食管癌患者3p24位点杂合缺失情况。并对该片段进行克隆。结果：在22例食管癌信息个体中共检出9例杂合缺失。并通过序列分析可知变化为点突变。结论：3p24EAβMD较高的杂合缺失率显示该位点附近可能存在潜在的抑癌基因。     

Prognostic role of alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference in acute pulmonary embolism.

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the utility of the alveolar - arterial oxygen pressure difference (AaDO (2)) in predicting the short-term prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS AND RESULTS: This study retrospectively enrolled 114 consecutive patients with acute PE, diagnosed by either spiral computed tomography or high probability ventilation - perfusion lung scans. During the first 24 h of admission, all patients had initial artery blood gas collected under room air. Patient exclusion criteria were chronic lung disease, septic emboli, and moderate and low probability lung scans. Patients were assigned to 2 groups based on either 30-day death or a 30-day composite event. Receiver operating characteristic analyses was used to determine the AaDO(2) cut-off value for predicting primary and composite endpoints. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences in AaDO(2) between the 30-day composite endpoint group and the 30-day composite event-free survival group (p=0.012). The AaDO(2) had a strong trend between the 30-day death group and the survival group (p=0.062). The best cut-off value for AaDO(2) was 53 mmHg and using this, the positive predictive value for 30-day death was 25% and the negative predictive value was 92%. For the 30-day composite endpoint, the positive predictive value for AaDO(2) was 35%, and the negative predictive value was 84%. In this study, thrombocytopenia was also an indicator of poor prognosis for patients with acute PE. CONCLUSION: The AaDO(2) measurement is a highly useful and simple measurement for predicting short-term prognosis in patients with acute PE. It has high negative predictive value and moderate positive predictive value for 30-day death and 30-day composite event. Aggressive thrombolytic treatment strategies should be considered for patients with an initial poor prognostic parameter (ie, AaDO(2) >or=53 mmHg).
