Objective The early causes of death were analyze in 2349 patients who had undergone heart valve replacement.Methods Methods From January 1995 to December 2007,2349 patients with heart valve diseases received heart valve replacement.1109 cases were male and 1240 were female.The mean age of the patients was(41±19)years old.1962 cases had rheumatic heart valve disease,308 had congenital heart valve disease,39 had infective endocarditis,29 underwent reintervention by heart valve replacement,11 had Marfan syndrome.34 cases with coronary heart disease underwent heart valve prosthesis implantation and coronary artery bypass grafting.Mitral valve replacement(MVR)was performed in 1333 patients,aortic valve replacement(AVR)in 271,double valves replacement(DVR)in 736 and tricuspid valve replacement(TVR)in 9.There were 3075 mechanical valves and 10 bioprosthetic valves.Results From 1995 to 1999,death occurred in 16 of the 235 cases,early mortality rate was 6.81%.From 2000 to 2004,death occurred in 35 of the 1087 cases,early mortality rate was 3.22%.From 2005 to 2007,there were 29 deaths among 1027 cases,with an early mortality rate of 2.82%.Overall early mortality rate was 3.40%.The early mortality rate was 2.32%(31 in 1333 cases)in patients who underwent MVR,3.32% (9 in 271)in patients who underwent AVR,5.24%(40 in 736)in patients who underwent DVR,5.50%(7 in 127)with LVEDD≥70 mm,4.60%(14 in 304)with LVEF<0.40,2.14%(9 in 419)with NYHA class II,2.42%(37 in 1529)with NYHA class Ⅲ,and 8.48%(34 in 401)with NYHA class IV.The causes of 80 deaths were low cardiac output syndrome in 31 cases(38.8%),renal failure in 14 cases(17.5%),arrhythmia in 10 cases(12.5%),pulmonary infections in 8 cases (10.0%).cerebrovascular accidentin 5(6.3%),left ventricular rupture in 5(6.3%),multisystem and organ failure in 5(6.3%),and other cause in 2 cases(2.5%).Conclusion The causes of early death after heart valve replacement are low cardiac output syndrome,renal failure,arrhythmia,pulmonary infection,cerebrovascular accident,left ventricular rupture and multisystem and organ failure.

Objective To understand the functional exercise situation of the total hip arthroplasty(THA)patients in hospital. Methods Using self-designed functional exercise in patients with TKA outline the structure of observation, observation and collection of Orthopedic Surgery,71 cases (91 hips)received THA in patients with relevant information. Results After the former 3d,22.5% of patients did not exercise;After 14 d continuous passive motion (CPM) ,hip joint exercises were separately accounted for 71.8% and 81.7% ,and static muscle contraction,straight leg raising were accounted for 40.8 percent and 81.7 percent. The four exercise started lately, training methods were not standardized the patients, insisted on a shorter time;single-and double-hip replacement hip replacement in patients with Shimoji routing practice started time respectively, after (6.51 ± 2.90 ) d and ( 10.30 ± 3.21 ) d. In the functional exercise process,CPM was assisted by nurse,in other exercises was assisted by retaining workers and patients families. Conclusion THA patients hospitalized during the actual exercise of the number,frequency,timing and methods vary, nursing staff should be further explored how to ensure that patients really effective rehabilitation exercise to further enhance the effect of patients with rehabilitation exercises.

Objective To study the application of stomach tube insertion in the lateral recumbent position in rescuing the unconscious patients,to reduce the discomfort of patients and increase the one-time success rate in the insertion of stomach tube. Methods 100 cases of unconscious patients were divided into the control group and the treatment group with 50 cases in each, they adopted routine tube insertion method and tube insertion in the lateral recumbent position.The success rate of tube insertion and incidence of complications were collected and analyzed in the two groups.Results The experimental group had a higher success rate and less complications compared with the control group.Conclusions The lateral recumbent position for stomach tube insertion is the ideal position for the unconscious patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of free toe transplantation in finger reconstruction.Methods Free toe transplantations were performed in 164 patients (185 fingers) suffering from finger defection.There were 134 males and 30 females,aged at 12-83 years [mean (44.8 ± 11.2)years].Finger deletion severity was classified as grade Ⅰ in one case,grade Ⅱ in 18,grade Ⅲ in 23,grade Ⅳ in 49,grade Ⅴ in 54,and grade Ⅵ in 19.According to Gilbert standards,dorsal metatarsal arteries were classified as type Ⅰ in 68 cases,type Ⅱ in 84,and type Ⅲ in 12.Survival ratio of the transplanted fingers and hand function rehabilitation were observed.Results The transplanted toe survived in 160 cases (173 fingers).They composed of all the cases of grade Ⅰ-Ⅴ finger deletion and 15 cases of grade Ⅵ finger deletion; all the cases of type Ⅰ dorsal metatarsal arteries,83 cases of type Ⅱ dorsal metatarsal arteries and nine case of type Ⅲ dorsal metatarsal arteries.Transplantation failed in four cases (12 fingers) of grade Ⅵ finger defection including one case of Gilbert Ⅱ dorsal metatarsal arteries and three cases of Gilbert Ⅱ dorsal metatarsal arteries.Postoperative results were excellent in 110 cases and good in 50.Conclusions Toe transplantation is helpful to restore the finger shape and function and the outcome is satisfactory.Anatomic deformation of dorsal metatarsal arteries is the main cause for the failure of finger reconstruction.

ObjectiveStudy the effects of mitral valve replacement using video-assisted thorascoscopy compared with median sternotomy mitral valve replacement.MethodsBetween October 2003 and October 2011,72 cases suffer from mitral valve disease underwent video-assisted thorascoscopic mitral valve replacement,74 cases underwent median sternotomy procedure.CPB time,cross clamp time,ventilation time,drainage,ICU stay time and hospital stay time of the two groups were compared.Results It was longer that CPB time and cross clamp time in video-assisted thoracospic group than those of median sternotomy group.There was statistically significant difference.However there was no statistically significant differentce in ventilation time and ICU stay time between two groups.Drainage of video-assisted thoracospic group was less than median sternotomy group.And there was statistically significant difference.ConclusionAs long as strictly a good indication,mitral valve surgery can routinely be performed with video-assisted thoracospic.

Interactions between brain-resident and peripheral infiltrated immune cells are thought to contribute to neuroplasticity after cerebral ischemia. However, conventional bulk sequencing makes it challenging to depict this complex immune network. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped compositional and transcriptional features of peri-infarct immune cells. Microglia were the predominant cell type in the peri-infarct region, displaying a more diverse activation pattern than the typical pro- and anti-inflammatory state, with axon tract-associated microglia (ATMs) being associated with neuronal regeneration. Trajectory inference suggested that infiltrated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) exhibited a gradual fate trajectory transition to activated MDMs. Inter-cellular crosstalk between MDMs and microglia orchestrated anti-inflammatory and repair-promoting microglia phenotypes and promoted post-stroke neurogenesis, with SOX2 and related Akt/CREB signaling as the underlying mechanisms. This description of the brain's immune landscape and its relationship with neurogenesis provides new insight into promoting neural repair by regulating neuroinflammatory responses.
