Objective To review the surgical results of 28 cases of endecardial cushion defect combined with double-ori-rice mitral valve. Methods Of 860 consecutive patients with endocardial cushion defect, double-orifice mitral valve was iden-tiffed in 28 patients (3.26% ) form October 1996 to November 2007. Intracardiac deformities were corrected simultaneously during the operation. Preoperative mitral valve function, surgical procedures and incidence of pestoperative mitral valve dys-function were reviewed and compared between patients with total endecardial cushion defect ( group Ⅰ, n = 11 ) and partial en-docardial cushion defect ( group Ⅱ, n = 17). Results There were 4 operative deaths in group Ⅰ caused by severe pulmonary inflammation in 3 cases and low cardiac output in 1 case. Two cases were identified as severe mitral valve dysfunction or steao-sis in reoperaticu or autopsy. There was no later death. Mitral valve function is not eatisfactory in group Ⅱ as compared with group Ⅰ in 3 to 89 months of follow-up( averaging 33 months). Conclusion Double-orifice mitral valve is a high risk factor for operative death in total endocardial cushion defect and the longer term results of partial endocardial cushion defect combined with double-orifice mitral valve is not satisfactory.

BACKGROUND:Platelet rich plasma contains various growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, metastatic growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, epidermal growth factor as wel as vascular endothelial growth factor. Therefore, it can directly or indirectly promote cel differentiation and proliferation in different stages of bone regeneration.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of coral bone with platelet rich plasma in the repair of mandibular defects.
METHODS: Totaly 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=8 per group) including test group, control group and blank control group. Coral bone with autologous platelet rich plasma, coral bone or nothing was implanted, respectively, after establishing unilateral mandibular defect models. The defects were evaluated by imaging observation and bone his-tomorphometric analysis at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks after surgery, by imaging observation, density of the defect increased in the blank control group, which was lower than that of the normal bone; the bone density in the test group was higher than that in the control group, both of which were similar with the normal bone. Besides, the materials were closely combined with the new tissues. By bone his-tomorphometric analysis, area of the new bone in the test group was significantly larger than that in the control and blank control group (P< 0.05). In conclusion, coral bone with platelet rich plasma has good biocompatibility and bone conductivity, which can induce bone regeneration to promote defect repair.
