小儿体外循环采用中度低温低流量灌注技术的临床研究

目的研究先天性心脏病患儿体外循环手术中采用中度低温合并低流量灌注技术的可行性。方法３０例手术患儿体外循环降温至肛温２５．６±０．８４℃，食管温度２４．１±１．３２℃，鼓膜温度２３．８±１．４１℃，维持流量１．２３±０．０９Ｌ／ｍｉｎｍ２，转流时间９５．４±３４．６分钟，主动脉阻断时间５１．４±２０．２分钟，低流量维持时间４５．７±２２．４分钟。结果低流量灌注时静脉血氧饱和度均在８０％以上，除１例外，其余均无缺氧酸中毒的血气表现，血乳酸值也未升高，术后恢复良好。结论中度低温体外循环选用低流量灌注可满足机体代谢的需要，有利于减少长时间高流量灌注的不良反应。     

Successful management of laryngotracheosophageal cleft through an anterior approach

Laryngotracheoesophageal cleft is an uncommon disease that is difficult to diagnose and treat. Repair of the cleft depends on length and localization of the defect as well as the associated anomalies. A successful repair of a type II cleft is reported in this paper. An anterior split of the larynx and trachea was used and provided excellent exposure and safe repair without injury to the neurovascular structures. This is the best approach and should be used to correct all type II defects.     

Isochromosome 18q in a girl with holoprosencephaly,DiGeorge anomaly,and streak ovaries

We report on the clinical and pathologic findings in a girl with isochromosome 18q (46, XX,i(18q)) who had combined manifestations of monosomy 18p and trisomy 18q. Major congenital anomalies included premaxillary agenesis, alobar holoprosenphaly, double Outlet right ventricle, DiGeorge anomaly and streak ovaries. The clinical spectrum in i(18q) is very broad. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Ischemic stroke in infancy,childhood, and adolescence

The authors studied 34 patients with juvenile ischemic cerebrovascular disease over a 15-year period. Of the 34 patients, 23 had intracranial occlusions attributed to cerebral thrombosis or embolism and 11 had occlusions resulting from moyamoya disease. Clinicopathological features were evaluated in the 23 cases with ischemic stroke, but not those with moyamoya disease. The cause of the arterial occlusion remained undetermined in 11 patients and was found to be an embolism based on congenital heart disease in 8, on trauma in 3, and on infection in 1. Cerebral angiography was performed in 21 patients. Of these, 17 had stenoses or occlusions corresponding to their symptoms. CT scans were performed in 10 patients; the lesion in question showed no stenosis or occlusion with cerebral angiography. With regard to prognosis, patients with unknown etiology had good outcomes compared with those with congenital heart disease. With respect to acute infantile hemiplegia, 10 patients had convulsive seizures and 4 had a history of an earlier infection. Angiography and CT scans in patients with congenital heart disease demonstrated arterial occlusive sites in the middle cerebral artery region. Three patients had abscesses after their ischemic lesions.     

FG syndrome in a premature male

A 30-week premature male infant is presented with dolichocephaly, frontal bossing, down-slanting palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, long philtrum, micrognathia, cleft palate, and imperforate anus. He is the fifth patient to be presented with FG syndrome and sensorineural deafness. The patient's syndromic manifestations became more obvious during an inpatient observation period of 3 months.     

以造影增强磁共振血管成像术诊断先天性主动脉弓畸形

目的评价造影增强磁共振血管成像术（CE-MRA）对先天性主动脉弓畸形的诊断准确性并与超声心动图等比较。方法413例先天性主动脉弓畸形病例在1999年4月到2004年12月期间做了CE-MRA检查。年龄5d～11岁，平均年龄2.4岁。检查使用1.5T磁共振扫描仪。对比剂gadolinium-DTPA，剂量0.2mmol／kg体质量，手动静脉注射。磁共振检查前均已做心脏超声检查。结果在413例中，动脉导管未闭（PDA）166例，主动脉缩窄（COA）168例，主动脉弓中断（IAA）31例，双主动脉弓等其他先天性主动脉弓畸形48例。全部413例均经手术和／或X线心血管造影证实。CE-MRA的诊断准确率为97.3％（402／413），心脏超声检查的诊断准确率为87.2％（360／413）。结论对于先天性主动脉弓畸形，CE-MRA是可靠的影像学检查方法，不仅优于心脏超声检查，有时CE-MRA甚至能比传统的X线心血管造影术提供更多的诊断信息。     

Fetal cervical hyperextension in arthrogryposis

Perhaps the most dramatic position of a newborn after delivery is when there is hyperextension of the neck and spine. It will have been presented in utero and today, almost always, such babies will have been delivered by C‐section. The associated anomalies are variable. The process(es) that can lead to cervical hyperextension is/are largely unknown. The outcome is variable from lethal to completely resolve. Individuals with arthrogryposis and in particular with Amyoplasia appear to have an increased frequency of neck, cervical, and spine hyperextension at birth. We present here 41 cases of arthrogryposis (mainly Amyoplasia) with fetal cervical hyperextension. The outlook is surprisingly good if spinal cord trauma does not occur. Ultrasound late in pregnancy when arthrogryposis is recognized prenatally should determine whether cervical hyperextension has developed, so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken.     

Reciprocal translocation mosaicism in man

We report on an8-month-old girl with a de novo 5q/6q autosomal translocation with loss of the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q23.3→6qter); clinical manifestations are peculiar craniofacial stigmata, truncal obesity and persisting hypotonia. The similarity with a previously reported patient with 6q interstitial deletion is discussed.
