Objective Even after successful surgical repair,patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are at high risk of long-term morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events,which is probably related to persistent arterial disfunction during long-terr follow-up after operation,The aim of the study was to explore the alterations of vascular structure and function in children with successfully repaired CoA in the short-and mid-term follow-up.Methods A cohort of 20 children who underwent CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou women and children's Medical Center was studied.There were 14 males and 6 females in CoA group,which comprised 6 patients with isolated CoA,14 patients with CoA associated with intracardia anomalies,whose median age of operation was 4 months (rang from lmonth to 10.0 years).And 20 patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) were included as VSD group during the same time,with 12 males and 8 females,whose median age of operation was 5 months (rang from 1 month to 12.0 years).Resting blood pressure,flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were compared in CoA group and VSD group,including preoperative media data and follow-up of 1 month,6 months and 1 year.In addition,as comparison to the operation group,20 health children with normal echocardiographic findings,whose median age was 5 months (rang from 3 month to 10.0 years),were selected as health group for the 1-year following up.None of them had obesity,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,metabolic diseases or systemic inflammatory disease.Results As a result of the datas before operation and those I month,6 months and 1 year after operation,all children were normotensive at rest.In the same period,Carotid IMT in CoA group[(0.47 ± 0.10)mm,(0.49 ±0.10) mm,(0.57 ±0.07)mm,(0.61 ± 0.07) mm]was significantly thicker than that in VSD group[(0.41 ±0.11) mm,(0.43 ±0.11)mm,(0.51 ±0.08) mm,(0.55 ±0.08) mm](P<0.05) and health group[(0.40 ±0.09) mm,(0.42 ±0.11)mm,(0.50 ±0.08) mm,(0.57 ±0.08) mm](P <0.05),Brachial artery FMI in children with CoA[(5.4,6 ±1.51)%,(5.71 ±1.88)%,(5.42±1.69)%,(5.27±1.02)%]was significantly lower than that in the VSD control group[(6.69±1.45) %,(6.66±1.21)%,(6.81 ±1.03)%,(6.43±1.34)%](P<0.05) and health group[(6.59 ±1.84)%,(6.84±1.41)%,(6.91 ±1.31)%,(6.56±1.62)%](P<0.05).Significant difference could not be found in neither the IMT nor the FMI between the VSI control group and health group in 4 period respectively,P > 0.05.Conclusion Children after successful coarctation repair have abnomal structural and functional properties of the aorta above the place of coarctation even their blood pressure at rest is normal.These results confirm that the alterations in mechanical properties of carotid arteries as well as the generalized endothelial dysfunction in children with coarctation of the aorta are persistent,which can not be prevented or reversed by surgical repair,and which may partly explain the high incidence of cardiovascular disease observed in their adulthood and reduced life expectancy,furtherly supporting the claim that coartation of the aorta is a systemic vascular disorder which needs long-term follow-up of vascular function.

Objective To evaluate the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in children after repair for coarctation of aota (CoA). Methods A group of 20 children having undergone CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were include in the study , including 12 infants aged less than 6 months and 8 ones aged more than 6 months. Another 20 healthy children were enrolled during the same period as controls. All the subjects underwent monitoring of resting blood pressure and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in 4-year follow-up. Results There were no resting hypertension in all subjects , but FMD in the CoA group was higher than in the control group and so it was with the early surgery group and non early surgery group. Conclusion The surgical repair for coarctation of aorta could not cure the vascular function impairment satisfactorily , neither is the early surgery effective in alleviating the injuries in vascular endothelia.

Objective To explore the correlation between the replacing time of plasma drainage bag and the bacterial growth rate among orthopaedic surgery patients , and to control or reduce the risk of catheter-related infection.Methods The convenient sampling method was used to select 100 patients with postoperative serum drainage tube and disposable drainage bag , from September 2012 to August 2013.Patients were randomly divided into the control group (group A, 33 cases) and the observation group (group B, 32 cases; group C, 35 cases).The amount of drainage were recorded every 24 hours of the three groups of patients , and then the drainage bags were emptied .Group A replaced the drainage bag regularly every day; Group B replaced the drainage bag every 48 hours;Group C did not replace the drainage bag .The outside mouth of the drainage tube and the drainage liquid were taken to bacterial culture . The positive rate of bacterial culture , patients'postoperative body temperature and the rate of incision infection were compared within groups .Results Twenty-four hours after operation, the results of bacterial culture among three groups were negative .However, after 48 hours, six patients (18.1%) in group A, two patients (6.4%) in group B showed positive results of the bacterial culture .None of the patients in group C had the positive results .The comparison among three groups was statistically significant (χ2 =10.32,P<0.05).After 72 hours, eight patients (24.2%) in group A, two patients (6.4%) in group B showed positive results of the bacterial culture .None of the patients in group C had the positive results.The comparison among three groups was statistically significant (χ2 =11.82,P<0.05). The incidence of incision infection of group A , group B and group C were 15.1%(5/33), 6.3%(2/32) and 0.0%(0/35), respectively.There was a significant difference among three groups (χ2 =11.18,P<0.05).The body temperature of the three groups showed no significant difference (F=7.53,P>0.05).Conclusions With the increase of drainage bag replacement frequency , the positive rate of bacterial culture , as well as the drainage bag and drainage tube mouth bacteria culture positive rate increase .Therefore, for orthopaedic patients , the plasma drainage tube and disposable drainage bag should be emptied every 24 hours after the measurement of drainage liquid, but do not have to be replaced every 48 hours or every 24 hours.
