Objective To investigate surgical treatment and effect of secondary endocardial fibroelastosis,based on respective analysis of clinical data and follow-up data of patients with secondary endocardial fibroelastosis (SEF) between 2010 and 2012.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed including 10 patients with secondary endocardial fibroelastosis from January 2010 to December 2012 in Wuhan Union Hospital.All patients were diagnosed by Untrasonic Cardiogram and/or CT angiography of heart and great vessel,and had cardiac insufficiency in different degree [EF 0.37 ± 0.08 (0.26 ~ 0.48)].All patients except 2 patients with anomalous origin of the coronary artery received treatment of digitaloid drugs before operation,which promoted preoperative cardiac function.5 patients with SEF complicated with Congenital Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA),2 patients underwent correction of CoA,2 patients underwent correction of CoA and partial resection of endocardium,1 patient underwent correction of CoA,partial resection of endocardium and mitral vavuloplasty.2 patients with SEF complicated with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery,who were underwent correction of anomalous origin of coronary artery.2 patients with SEF complicated with aortic stenosis,who were underwent aortic commissurotomy and partial resection of endocardium.1 patient with SEF complicated with mitral stenosis and insufficiency,who underwent mitral valve replacement.The intraopertive gross appearance of endocardium was opaque greyish-white not transparent pink.The postoperative pathological examination showed obviously positive dyeing of elastic fibers.In 3,6,12 and 24 months after operation,Untrasonic Cardiogram evaluated cardiac function and endocardium.Results one 6 months patients with origin of left coronary from pulmonary artery died of severe post-operative low cardiac output syndrome,while another 1 months patients with origin of left coronary from pulmonary artery obtained post-operative good recovery,and the Untrasonic Cardiogram show disappearance of endocardial fibroelastosis.The post-operative mean time of using respirator(4.0 ± 1.5) days (2-7 days).Compared with the preoperative data,the cardiac function index (EF) was not significantly better at 2 weeks and 3-6 months[0.38 ± 0.07 (0.28 ~ 0.48),P > 0.05 ; 0.39 ± 0.08 (0.30 ~ 0.50),P > 0.05],and the non-resected fibroelatic endocardium still existed and were not attenuated.But the cardiac function index (EF) significantly increased [0.44 ± 0.08 (0.38 ~ 0.55),P < 0.05] than the pre-operative EF,and the 3 of 5 cases the fibroelatic endocardium were attenuated or disappeared,while 2 of 5 cases the fibroelatic endocardium still existed.Conclusion SEF is the important causes of the infant intractable heart failure,which has the characteristic of high mortality and limited therapy.For SEF patients with anomalous origin of the coronary artery,the SEF is completely reversed by early diagnosis and early correction of the malformation.For SEF patients with CoA or aortic stenosis,the surgical treatment could promote recovery of cardiac function,but whether the SEF were reversed is still subject to further follow-up.The heart transplantation is the best therapy for SEF with severse heart failure.

MicroRNA (miRNA),sharing the character of regulating the transcriptional level and expression level of mRNAs,is one kind of small non-coded RNAs.At present,innate immune has become one of the hot topics for researchers,and miRNAs as a sort of bioactive substance greatly take part in the whole regulation progress.In detailed,miRNAs can influence the immune state of immune cells during innate immune period and further regulate inflammatory conditions in whole body.By systematically summarizing miRNA function during innate immunity,this present review may provide a reference for peer researchers.

Clinical pathway has great similarity with DRG,and plays an important role in standardizing diagnosis and treatment behavior and controlling medical expenses.Based on the analysis of the relationship between DRG payment method reform and clinical pathway,taking a public hospital in Wuhan City,Hubei Province as an example,the clinical pathway implementation strategy of large public hospitals under the DRG payment method reform was explored from five aspects:management system,suitable disease types,doctor's order setting,information system,training and assessment.
