Objective:To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of valvular heart disease with enlarged or small left ventricles. Methods:Valvular operations were performed in 473 patients,including 38 with enlarged left ventricles(group Ⅰ)and 40 with small left ventricles(group Ⅱ),from April 1998 to June 2005.Postoperative complications between two groups were com- pared and analyzed statistically. Results:The postoperative eomplications were ventricular arrhythmia,low output syndrome,lung infection,renal failure and brain embolism.Low output syndrome tended to occur in group Ⅱ(20%),whereas there was a higher incidence of ventricular ar- rhythmia in group Ⅰ(65.79%).The difference between groups was significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion:To improve the successful operative rate in patients with enlarged or small left ventricles,we should take effec- tive measures to manage the post-procedural complications,such as ventricular arrhythmia(mainly in group Ⅰ)and low output syndrome(mainly in group Ⅱ).

0.05).In the 35 patient who had unitary incontinence before the operation,the symptom disappeared in 6(17.1%) patients,and deteriorated in 2(5.7%).While in the 38 patients without urinary incontinence before the operation,9(23.7%) showed the symptom postoperation.Totally,urinary incontinence was developed in 11 patients after the operation.Conclusions The patients with moderate-to-severe pelvic organ prolapse treated by traditional surgical procedures have a low rate of objective cure and a high rate of recurrent cystocele.It is important to repair the anterior pelvic floor during the operation.And the surgeons should be alert to the possibility of urinary incontinence.

Objective:To analyze the effect of glucocorticoid on the biological function of lens epithelial cells (LECs) by bioinformatics and predict related microRNA (miRNA).Methods:GSE3040 database was downloaded and the human LECs line (HLE-B3) cells in the experimental group were treated with 1 μmol/L dexamethasone, and HLE-B3 cells in the control group were treated with 1 μmol/L dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO).GEO2R was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes between the two groups.Metascape website was employed to analyze the functional enrichment of differentially expressed genes, and EdU cell proliferation assay was performed to detect the difference in cell proliferation between the two groups.STRING website and cytoscape software were used to construct protein-protein interaction network.Hub genes were calculated by cytohubba app, and quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of hub genes between the two groups.MirCode website was used to predict the related miRNAs.Results:A total of 341 differentially expressed genes were detected between the experimental group and the control group, among which there were 300 up-regulated genes and 41 down-regulated genes. SLC12A1, MED13L, ALDH5A1, SLC15A3 and WWC1 were the top five down-regulated genes and SCNN1A, ANKRD36, FKBP5, PYY and ADH1B were the top five up-regulated genes.The top 20 terms of functional enrichment were listed, and the negative regulation of HLE-B3 cells proliferation showed the most enrichment.Cell proliferation rate in the experimental group was (8.09±0.20)%, which was significantly lower than (39.63±0.80)% in the control group ( t=38.43, P<0.01).The top ten hub genes were SST, CXCL8, GRM1, GNRH1, CXCL5, PPBP, CX3CR1, PYY, EDNRA and GRK5, and quantitative real time PCR confirmed that the expression levels of SST, CXCL8, GRM1, PYY, EDNRA and GRK5 mRNA were statistically different (all at P<0.05).The top six miRNAs which might be associated with hub genes were miR-15abc, miR-214, miR-23abc, miR-129-5p, miR-132 and miR-24. Conclusions:The 1 μmol/L glucocorticoid can negatively regulate the proliferation of HLE-B3 cells. SST, CXCL8, GRM1, PYY, EDNRA and GRK5 may be hub genes and miR-15abc, miR-214, miR-23abc, miR-129-5p, miR-132, miR-24 are most likely to relate to them.

BACKGROUND:Artificial valve replacement for valvular disease has good biocompatibility and hemodynamic characteristics, but there are stil many factors that affect its therapeutic effects. OBJECTIVE:To detect the level of serum Apelin-12 in the perioperative period of valve replacement in valvular disease patients with atrial fibrilation. METHODS: Sixty-two patients with valvular heart disease scheduled for artificial valve replacement were selected, including 30 patients with persistent atrial fibrilation (atrial fibrilation group) and 32 patients with sinus rhythm (sinus rhythm group). There were 33 males and 29 females, with a mean age of (55±11) years. Levels of serum Apelin-12 and makers related to inflammation and oxidative stress were detected in two groups at admission. Furthermore, the sinus rhythm group was sub-divided into postoperative atrial fibrilation (POAF) group (n=8) and non-POAF group (n=24) after valve replacement, and the above-mentioned indicators were detected and compared between these two subgroups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sinus rhythm group, the serum level of Apelin-12 was significantly lower in the atrial fibrilation group, while the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 and total antioxidant capacity were significantly higher in the atrial fibrilation group (P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the serum level of Apelin-12 was negatively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level and total antioxidant capacity (r=-0.265,P=0.045;r=-0.960,P <0.001), but not correlated with the interleukin-6 level (r=-0.155,P=0.230). Compared with the non-POAF group, the serum level of Apelin-12 was significantly lower in the POAF group (P< 0.05), but the left atrial diameter, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level were higher in the POAF group (P < 0.05). Apelin-12 may take part in the occurrence and maintenance of atrial fibrilation through the regulation of inflammations and oxidative stresses. The testing of serum Apelin-12 has a certain value in predicting the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrilation.

0.05).The pregnancy rate was 41.5%(17/41) in the(Non-cystectomy) Group,33.3%(23/69) in the Laparoscopic Group,and 25.5%(14/55) in the Open Group,respectively,without significant differences(?~2=2.754,P=0.252).A total of 86 patients(90 cycles) were given a unilateral cystectomy,including 37 cycles in the Open Group and 53 cycles in the Laparoscopic Group.In the 37 cycles of the Open Group,the number of dominant follicles was less in affected ovary(4.41?4.02) than in contralateral one(6.14?4.37)(t=-2.364,P=0.024),whereas in the 53 cycles of the Laparoscopic Group,the number of dominant follicles was significantly less in affected ovary(3.33?3.50) than in contralateral ovary(6.40?3.61)(t=-5.358,P=0.000).Conclusions Both laparoscopic and open cystectomy of ovarian endometrioma may cause damage to ovarian response of COH.

Objective To explore the influence of diabetes on the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning(IPC) on ischemic-reperfused(IR) myocardium of rat.Methods Sixty male SD rats(30 with diabetes and 30 without diabetes) were divided into six groups(10 each): non-diabetic rats control group(group A),non-diabetic rats IR group(group B),non-diabetic rats IPC group(group C),diabetic rats control group(group D),diabetic rats IR group(group E) and diabetic rats IPC group(group F).The isolated heart perfusion Langendorff models were established after rats were sacrificed.Isolated hearts of the two control groups were undergone a 90min perfusion without any other intervention;those of the two IR groups were undergone a 30min equilibration period,a 30min ischemia and a 30min reperfusion;those of the two IPC groups were undergone a 10min equilibration,then elicited by two cycles of 5min ischemia interspersed with 5min reperfusion prior to 30min ischemia and a 30min reperfusion.The recovery rates of the left ventricular function,such as cardiac output(CO) and left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP),and the maximum upstroke and decay velocities of left ventricular pressure(?dp/dtmax) were recorded.The activity of creatine kinase(CK) in coronary outflow,contents of malonyldialdehyde(MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in myocardium were detected,and myocardial water ratio were assessed.Results In non-diabetic rats IPC group,the activity of CK,content of MDA and water ratio of myocardium declined significantly,while the content of SOD increased and the recovery rates of CO,LVDP and ?dp/dtmax rose significantly compared with that in non-diabetic rats IR group(P0.05).Conclusion Diabetes may inhibit the protective effect of ischemic preconditioning on ischemic reperfused rat heart.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of recurrent endometrial carcinoma.Methods A total of 22 cases of recurrent endometrial carcinoma from January 2006 to December 2015 were enrolled.Primary diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma were made in our hospital,with complete clinical data and standard NCCN staging operation.The recurrence of endometrial cancer was confirmed by pathological diagnosis after second surgery or biopsy.Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results The median age of primary diagnosis was 52 years old (rang,44-63 years old).And the most common clinical symptom was postmenopausal vaginal bleeding (54.5％,12/22).There were 18 cases (81.8％) of endometrial adenocarcinoma,3 cases (13.6％) of serous adenocarcinoma,and 1 case (4.5％) of clear cell carcinoma.As to the muscular layer infiltration,there were 14 cases (63.6％) ＜ 1/2,7 cases (31.8％) ＞ 1/2 and 1 case (4.5％) involving the whole layer.There were 4 cases (18.2％) of positive pelvic lymph node and no para-aortic lymph nodes metastasis.As to the postoperative clinical pathologic stage,there were 12 cases (54.5％) of FIGO Ⅰ A,5 cases (22.7％) of FIGO Ⅰ B,1 case (4.5％) of FIGO Ⅱ,and4 cases (18.2％) of FIGO ⅢC1.The median recurrent time was 4 years (rang,1.5-7 years),without obvious self-conscious symptoms,including serum CA125 elevated in 12 cases (54.5％) and positive ultrasound,CT or X-ray examination findings in 10 cases (45.5％).As to the recurrence location,14 cases (63.6％) were in the pelvic cavity,6 cases (27.3％) of retroperitoneal lymph nodes,1 case (4.5％) of anterior abdominal wall accompaning lung metastasis,and 1 case (4.5％) of lung metastasis.Three patients accept Lynch syndrome screening,of which 2 cases were positive.Conclusions Muscular layer infiltration is common in recurrence of endometrial cancer,with no obvious clinical symptoms.Pelvic cavity is the most common location of recurrence.

Objective To compare the costs of laparoscopy and laparotomy in the operative treatment of ovarian cysts. Methods Patients with ovarian cysts who were operated on by laparoscopy (83) or by laparotomy (65) in the Peking University Third Hospital from June 2000 to August 2001 were retrospectively analyed.Patients' hospital stay,time taken for the patients to return to work,hospital charges,costs because of inability to work and total costs (including the direct medical costs,direct non-medical costs and indirect costs) were compared between the two groups. Results The mean hospital stay and the mean time taken for the patients to return to work were statistically shorter in the laparoscopy group than those in the laparotomy group.The mean hospital charges were significantly higher and the mean costs of without work were significantly lower in the laparoscopy group.The total costs in the two groups were similar (no significant difference). Conclusions According to the mean income of the people in Beijing,the costs of laparoscopy in the operative of the ovarian cysts are not higher than that of lapatomy.

Objective To summarize the treatment experience of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods The clinical data of 136 patients who had occurred SVT after CABG between January 2008 and December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 136 patients,no perioperative mortality,atrial fibrillation (AF) occurred in 110 cases (80.88%),paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) occurred in18 cases ( 13.24% ), atrial flutter occurred in 8 cases (5.88%),112 of 136 cases occurred in 1-3 days after surgery,accounting for 82.35% ,24 cases occurred in 4-7 days after surgery,accounting for 17.65%. Given amiodarone in the treatment of 105 cases,100 cases reverted to sinus rhythm (cardioversion rate of 95.24% ),given esmolol in the treatment of 11 cases, 9 cases reverted to sinus rhythm( cardioversion rate of 81.82% ), synchronous direct current cardioversion in 20 cases, all transferred to sinus rhythm, all patients with improved symptoms. The remaining failed to transfer to sinus rhythm, had got normal ventricular rate, and symptoms improved significantly. Conclusions It is necessary to take effective measures to prevent SVT within 3 days after CABG. Amiodarone, esmolol and synchronous direct current cardioversion can be used effectively and safely to control SVT after CABG.

Objective To summarize the prevention and treatment experience of complications of cardiac myxoma excision.Methods Cardiac myxoma excision were performed in 215 cases under general anesthesia,cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest condition.Results Two cases died from severe low cardiac output syndrome which eventually caused multiple organ failure.The remaining 213 cases were cured and discharged.Among 213 cases,low cardiac output syndrome occurred in 35 cases,re-open chest for bleeding was performed in 8 cases,30 cases in arrhythmia (including paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in 20 cases and ventricular premature in 10 cases),no vital organs embolism occurred.Follow-up was done to 200 patients for 1-8 years with a follow-up rate of 93.9％ (200/213).In 200 cases,1 case died from lung cancer,1 case recurred and was cured after re-operation.The remaining patients had no obvious abnormalities.Conclusion As the particularity of surgical treatment of cardiac myxoma,it is essential to take prevention measures to reduce complications of cardiac myxoma excision in perioperative periods.
