Use of a Sandwich Technique to Repair a Left Ventricular Rupture after Mitral Valve Replacement

One difficulty with external repair of left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement is collateral bleeding in friable myocardium adjacent to the rupture. The bleeding is caused by tension on the closing sutures, whether or not pledgets have been used.We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who underwent an uneventful mitral valve replacement. After cardiopulmonary bypass was terminated, brisk bleeding started from high in the posterior left ventricular wall, typical of a type III defect. We undertook external repair, placing a plug of Teflon felt into the cavity of the rupture and sandwiching it into place with pledgeted mattress and figure-of-8 sutures. The space occupied by the plug decreased the distance needed to obliterate the defect and thereby reduced the tension on the sutures necessary to achieve hemostasis. This simple technique enabled closure of the defect and avoided collateral tears that would have compromised an otherwise successful repair. Two years postoperatively, the patient had normal mitral valve function and no left ventricular aneurysm. In addition to reporting the patient''s case, we review the types of left ventricular rupture that can occur during mitral valve replacement and discuss the various repair options.     

Ⅰ期植骨联合非接触钢板技术治疗股骨创伤后感染性骨缺损八例

2012年7月至2015年7月，兰州军区兰州总医院对8例股骨创伤后骨髓炎患者彻底清创后采用锁定钢板非接触技术固定骨折端，钢板置于大腿外侧皮下、股外侧肌的外侧。Ⅰ期切取不带皮质髂骨颗粒状松质骨植在清创后血运良好的骨缺损部位，尽量充满死腔，术后放置引流管。8例均顺利完成手术，手术时间120～150 min，平均（130±10）min；术后使用抗菌药物6周；引流管平均放置时间为8 d左右；患者随访12～48个月，平均（19±7）个月。其中7例术后复查X线摄片显示骨愈合，平均愈合时间为（16±5）周；1例感染复发，再次清创后改行骨搬移术。8例均未发生钢板及螺丝钉断裂、松动及固定失败。     

Molar incisor hypomineralization in HIV‐infected children and adolescents

The objective was to determine the prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) among individuals between 7 and 15 years old infected or noninfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The study was conducted with 33 HIV‐infected individuals (study group; SG) and 66 non‐HIV‐infected schoolchildren (control group; CG), paired by gender and age. Data collection was based on medical records (SG), a questionnaire for caregivers and oral examination for diagnosis of MIH (European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria) and caries (DMFT index and ICDAS). Data were analyzed with Mann‐Whitney, chi‐square, and Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression. In SG, MIH (45.5%) and caries (87.9%) had higher prevalence. MIH was associated with use of protease inhibitors in SG (OR: 2.14; 95% CI: 1.21 to 3.77) and incubator need in CG (OR: 2.80; 95% CI: 1.71 to 9.10). HIV‐infected patients had a higher prevalence of MIH and dental caries in the permanent dentition.     

福建省闽西地区维持性血液透析患者病因及贫血状况的多中心调查

目的 了解福建省闽西地区终末期肾病(ESRD)患者的病因构成及其贫血状况。 方法 回顾性分析闽西地区11家医院2014年1-12月因ESRD行维持性血液透析的858例患者的临床资料,比较患者的血红蛋白水平与铁缺乏、营养状况、甲状旁腺激素、透析充分性、促红细胞生成素(EPO)治疗之间的关系。 结果 ESRD的病因中,前3位分别为慢性肾小球肾炎(458例,52.79%)、糖尿病肾病(143例,16.67%)和高血压肾病(128例,14.92%)。使用EPO治疗775例,治疗率90.33%,贫血治疗达标率42.87%。血红蛋白越低,EPO治疗的比例越高,用量也越大。与贫血治疗达标患者比较,贫血治疗不达标患者血清铁蛋白、转铁蛋白饱和度、血清白蛋白水平明显低下(均为P<0.05),血甲状旁腺素、肌酐、尿素氮水平明显升高(均为P<0.05),每周3次透析的患者所占比例明显下降(P<0.05)。 结论 闽西地区ESRD的病因主要是原发性肾小球肾炎、糖尿病肾病和高血压肾损害; 维持性血液透析患者贫血治疗率高,但达标率仍偏低,主要影响因素是铁缺乏、营养不良、继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进和透析不充分。     

代偿性酸中毒、炎性反应和病因是影响急性肾损伤预后的重要因素

目的分析影响急性贤损伤(AKI)预后的因素,评判不同病因对预后的影响。方法回顾性分析507例AKI病例,分为预后良好组和预后不良组,收集临床资料,根据治疗前后SCr变化,分析AKI预后的危险因素和病因对预后的影响。结果预后良好组253例(49.9%),预后不良组254例(50.1%)。预后不良组年龄较大(P0.001),SCr基线值较高(P0.01),贫血和低白蛋白血症的发生率较高(P0.01和P0.001),炎性指标更高(P0.001)。通过Logistic回归分析建立预后模型,分析结果显示,即使代谢性酸中毒处于HCO3-降低而p H值正常的阶段,仍是影响预后的危险因素(P0.05),MODS(P0.001)、炎性因子(P0.01)和少尿(P0.01)也是影响预后的危险因素;血白蛋白(P0.01)和血红蛋白(P0.05)是预后的保护性因素。本研究中,AKIN 1、2期中最常见病因为重症感染导致的AKI,AKIN 3期中最常见小管间质损害,不同分期对预后的影响无显著差别。结论 1)代偿性酸中毒、MODS、炎性反应和少尿是AKI预后的危险因素;2)需重视病因对AKI临床结局的影响。     

Chronic Idiopathic Cough: A Discrete Clinical Entity?

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Despite the success of specialist cough clinics, there is increasing recognition of a subgroup of chronic coughers in whom a diagnosis cannot be made even after thorough, systematic investigation. We call this condition chronic idiopathic cough (CIC). The aim of this study is to compare the clinical characteristics of CIC patients with those of coughers in whom a diagnosis has been established (non-CIC) to see if there is a recognizable clinical pattern that distinguishes CIC from non-CIC. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of the medical records of chronic cough patients. SETTING: The Royal Brompton Hospital Chronic Cough Clinic, London. PATIENTS: One hundred patients with chronic cough referred to the Royal Brompton Hospital Cough Clinic between October 2000 and February 2004. RESULTS: Seventy-one percent of all patients were female. Median age was 57 years (range, 19 to 81 years), with a median duration of symptoms of 48 months (range, 2 to 384 months). The primary diagnoses were CIC (42%), postnasal drip syndromes (22%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (16%), asthma (7%), and others (13%). In CIC patients, the median age at referral, age at onset of cough, and proportion of females did not differ significantly from non-CIC patients. CIC patients had a longer median duration of cough (72 months vs 24 months, p = 0.002), were more likely to report an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) as the initial trigger of their cough (48% vs 24%, p = 0.0014), and had a significantly lower cough threshold in response to capsaicin (log concentration of capsaicin required to induce five or more coughs, - 0.009 vs 0.592, p = 0.032) than non-CIC patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CIC commonly describe a URTI that initiates their cough, which then lasts for many years, and they demonstrate an exquisitely sensitive cough reflex. We believe that CIC may be a distinct clinical entity with an as-yet unidentified underlying pathology.     

Exchange transfusion for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: an 8-year single center experience at a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in Turkey

Objective: The aim of present study was to evaluate the indications and the complications associated with neonatal exchange transfusion (ET) performed for hyperbilirubinemia.

Methods: This study included overall 306 neonates who underwent ET between 2005 and 2012. The demographic characteristics of patients, causes of jaundice and adverse events occurred during or within 1 week after ET were recorded from their medical files. Those newborns that underwent ET were classified as either “otherwise healthy” or “sick” group.

Results: Of the 306 patients who underwent ET, 244 were otherwise healthy and had no medical problems other than jaundice. The remaining 62 patients were classified as sick that had medical problems other than jaundice ranging from mild to severe. The mean gestational age was 37.6?±?2.5 weeks and the mean peak total bilirubin levels was 25.8?±?6.6?mg/dl. The mean age at presentation was 5.4?±?3.8?d for all infants. The most common cause of hyperbilirubinemia was ABO isoimmunization (27.8%). None of newborns died secondary to ET. Three infants had had necrotizing enterocolitis, and also three infants had had acute renal failure. The most common encountered complications of ET procedure were hyperglycemia (56.5%), hypocalcaemia (22.5%) and thrombocytopenia (16%).

Conclusions: Our data showed that ABO isoimmunization was the most common cause of hyperbilirubinemia. Even mortality was not seen, very rare but major gastrointestinal and renal complications were associated with ET. The majority of adverse events associated with ET were laboratory abnormalities mainly hyperglycemia, hypocalcaemia and thrombocytopenia which were asymptomatic and treatable.
