Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility,safety and efficacy of peratrial device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) through a right parasternal approach.Methods Between May 2011 and July 2012,47 patients (peratrial group),aged 7 months to 37 years,underwent peratrial device closure of VSD through a right parasternal approach.According to the same inclusion criteria,47 patients who underwent perventricular device closure of VSD were randomly chosen as the control group (perventricular group).In the peratrial group,a 1.5 to 2.0 cm parasternal incision was made in the right fourth or third intercostal space.The pericardium was incised and cradled.Two parallel pursestring sutures were placed at the right atrium near the atrioventricular groove.After puncture,a specially designed hollow probe was inserted into the right atrium.The probe was passed through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.Under transesophageal echocardiographic guidance,the tip of the probe was adjusted to point to or cross the defect.A flexible guidewire was rapidly inserted into the left ventricle through the channel of the probe to establish a delivery pathway,and the delivery sheath was introduced through the defect over the wire.Then the device was deployed to close the defect.Results Successful implantation of the device was achieved in both groups of patients (100%).In the peratrial group,the entrance and the exit diameter of the VSD were (7.4 ±4.1) mm (range,2.0 to 20.0 mm) and (3.4 ± 1.2)mm (range,2.0 to 7.0 mm),respectively.The mean device size was (6.3 ± 1.5)mm (range,4.0 to 12.0 mm).The mean intracardiac manipulation time is longer in the peratrial group [(15 ± 13) min] than in the perventricular group[(8 ± 5)min],P < 0.01.But the procedure time is shorter in the peratrial group[(56 ± 24) min] than in the perventricular group [(72 ± 16) min],P < 0.01.During the follow-up period of 1 to 12 months,no device-related complications were found.Conclusion The peratrial device closure of VSD is feasible,safe,and efficacious.It has the advantages of less invasiveness,better cosmetic results,and a shorter procedure time.

Objective: To study the expression of PDCD5 mRNA and its significance in esophageal cancer in Xinjiang Kazakh and Han nationality. Methods: RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA of PDCD5 in 40 cases of esophageal cancer (18 cases of Kazakh, 22 cases of Han). Results: The positive rate of PDCD5 mRNA expression in 40 samples of esopha-geal cancer tissue, adjacent tissue, and normal tissue was 80.0% (32/40), 80.0% (32/40) and 87.5% (35/40), respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). The Ods of cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, and normal tissues were 0.7644± 0.1444, 0.9341 ±0.1631 and 1.8703±0.4767, respectively. The expression of PDCD5 was significantly increased in cancer tissues compared with that in normal tissues (P<0.05). The expression level of PDCD5 mRNA was not significantly correlat-ed with the degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: No significant difference was found in PDCD5 mRNA expression in esophageal cancer between Xinjiang kazakh and Han nationality (P>0.05). The expression of PDCD5 is not correlated with the degree of differentiation, depth of invasion or lymph node metastasis. Detection of PDCD5 mRNA expression in esophageal cancer tissues may provide valuable information for patient prognosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in reducing the incidence of nursing interruption with negative outcome in operating room, so as to maximize the smooth progress of the surgical process.Methods:This was a quasi experimental study. The gastrointestinal surgery room of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University was selected for the study. According to the surgical sequence, 38 surgeries performed in the gastrointestinal surgery suite from August 15-30, 2021 were set as the control group, and the conventional healthcare cooperation model process was implemented; 42 surgeries performed from September 15-30, 2021 were set as the intervention group, and the operating room under the HFMEA model was implemented negative outcome care disruption event management process.A video tracking method combined with a surgical care disruption event register was used to investigate the occurrence of negative outcome care disruption events in the operating room, comparing the number, duration, source of disruption events and the incidence of near miss events in the operating room between the control group and the intervention group.Results:In the control group, there were 38 observed surgeries, 190 negative outcome care interruptions, negative outcome interruptions of (5.26 ± 1.02) min duration, and no near misses; in the intervention group, there were 42 observed surgeries, 84 negative outcome care interruptions, negative outcome interruptions of (2.06 ± 0.08) min duration, and no near misses. There were statistically significant differences in the number, duration of negative outcome care interruptions between the intervention group and the control group ( χ2 = - 18.71, t = - 20.28; all P<0.01). There was statistically significant difference in the source of negative outcome care interruptions between the intervention group and the control group ( χ2 = - 12.71, P<0.01). Conclusions:HFMEA model can effectively reduce the number of negative nursing interruptions in the operating room, shorten the duration of interruptions, and minimize potential safety hazards caused by nursing interruptions, which is conducive to ensuring the safety of patients.
