Objective To define the incidence and perioperative risk factors of new-onset atrial fibrillation for patients with preoperative sinus rhythm after successful mitral valve replacement.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 586 patients with preoperative sinus rhythm who underwent successful mitral valve replacement in our hospital from 1998 to 2008.The cases were classified into postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF group) or postoperative sinus rhythm (SR group).Twenty-nine risk factors including clinical and echocardiography data were selected into univariate analysis by using student' s t test or chi-squared test according to the data type.The factors with a value of P ＜ 0.1 in univariate analysis were assessed by multivariate logistic regression.A value of P ＜ 0.05 (two-sided) was considered to be statistically significant in multivariate logistic regression. ResultsOne hundred and eighteen patients had atrial fibrillation postoperatively. The incidence was 20.1％.Univariate analysis revealed that the factors including age,chronic lung disease,left ventricular mass,left atrial volume,right atrial volume,tricuspid valve regurgitation,heart failure,valvular pathology,postoperative prosthetic mitral effective orifice area index,postoperative mechanical ventilation time,serum levels of potassium and magnesium significantly increased the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation.However,in multivariate logistic regression,age,left atrial volume and postoperative prosthetic mitral valve effective orifice area index and serum of potassium had significant statistically significances between AF group and SR group.Conclusion Age,left atrial volume,postoperative prosthetic valve effective orifice area index and serum of potassium were significant predictors of postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation for patients with preoperative sinus rhythm after mitral valve replacement.

Objective To explore and conclude the influence factors of long-term outcomes of mitral valve repair for moderate and severe mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous degeneration.Methods To review the in-patient data and followup outcomes of 261 patients after mitral valve repair for moderate and severe mitral regurgitation due to myxomatous degeneration from Jan 1993 to Jan 2008 in Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University.Results There were 7 perioperative deaths and 254 survivors who obtained satisfactory perioperative outcomes.During the follow-up,24 patients were lost and 230 patients were followed up from 36 months to 174 months (77.3 ±30.3) months and follow-up rate was 90.6％.Multivariate Cox regression shows age ≥ 60 years old,left ventricular ejection fraction ＜ 0.50,undergoing combined coronary artery bypass grafting were the independent risk factors for long-term death after operations and left ventricular ejection fraction ＜ 0.50,New York Heart Association functional classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ,anterior leaflet prolapse were the independent risk factors for long-term recurrent moderate or severe mitral regurgitation after operations and prosthetic ring or band annulopasty was a protective factor.Conclusion The age ≥60 years old,left ventricular ejection fraction ＜ 0.50,undergoing combined coronary artery bypass grafting,New York Heart Association functional classification Ⅲ - Ⅳ,anterior leaflet prolapse,and prosthetic ring or band annulopasty were closely related with long-term adverse events after operations.

Objective To summary the methods and results of first and second operations on patients with aortic valve disease and non-specific aortitis.Methods The total 34 patients including 23 cases with aortitis and 11 cases with Behcet disease were studied from Jan 2000 to Dec 2010.The first operation was Bentall procedure in 18 cases and AVR in 16 cases.Fourteen of 16 cases who had AVR developed severe paravalvular leakage,and undewent the second operation including 10 aortic root replacement (8 valve-conduit and 2 homograft) and 4 non-anatomic AVR.Results Eighteen patients who had first operation of Bentall procedure all survive without aortic pseudoaneurysm after the follow-up of 6 months to 11 years.Fourteen redo cases all survive except for one case died of repture of aortic pseudoaneurysm 1.2 years postoperatively.Conclusion Preoperative diagnosis in these patients is very difficulty.The first operation of root replacement is of choice.The second operation is very difficulty to handle,root replacement can achieve satisfactory results.Non-anatomic AVR is easy to perform,and good hemo stasis intraoperatively,and is a satisfied alternative method with good results.

Objective The results of Aortic valve replacement (AVR). Combined with ascending aortic replacement(group A) or aortoplasty (group B) in patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aortic dilatation were analysed to assess the clinical outcomes and respective indications. Methods Among the two groups, the age, gender, NYHA class, types of aortic valve lesions and left ventricular ejection fraction were not different statically. The ascending aortic diameters in group A[(50.41 ±3.71) mm] and group B [(48.29±2.18) mm] were not statically different. Ascending aortic replacement was performed in Group A. A Dacron tube(diameter 28 ～ 30mm) was routinely wrapped around the ascending aorta after aortoplasty in group B. Results There was 1 postoperative death in group B, blood transfusion volume and postoperative complications were not stasticaly different in the two groups. Cardiopulmonary bypass time [(110.52 ± 27.51) min] and aortic across clumping time [(71.70 ± 17.13)min] in group A were significantly longer than that of group B [(97.31 ± 19.46) min,P=0. 004; (57.13 ±19.46) min, respectively. P=0.025]. Conclusion Aortic valve disease, especially bicuspid valve disease often combines with ascending aortic dilatation or aneurysm. In younger patients, ascending aorta should be actively treated surgically when the diameter is equal or more than 40mm. Aortoplasty with external reinforcement of a Dacron tube is simpler and safer than aortic replacement in patient without aortic atherosclerosis or ulceration, and large aneurysm.

Objective To validate the value of Cleveland Clinical Score in predicting acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy(RRT-AKI) after cardiac valve surgery in Chinese adult patients.Methods An analysis was conducted for all the adult patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery from January 2010 to December 2014 in Changhai Hospital,Shanghai.A total of 3 230 adult patients were included.Based on Cleveland Clinical Score,the patients were divided into 3 risk stages:0 to 2 point,3 to 5 point,and 6 to 8 point.The incidence of RRT-AKI were compared between different stages.And the predictive value of the Cleveland Clinical Score model was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC-ROC) and the model calibration was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.The patients were also divided into two groups:Non-RRT group and RRT-AKI group.The mortality were compared between these two groups.Results The incidence of RRT-AKI was 1.67％ vs the predicted ratio of RRT-AKI 1.70％ (x2 =0.018,P =0.892).Among the stage 1,2,and 3,the actual incidence of RRT-AKI,was 1.23％,2.66％,and 16.7％ vs the predicted incidence 0.40％,1.80％,and 9.50％,respectively.The AUC-ROC for Cleveland Clinical Score predicting RRT-AKI was 0.64 [95 ％ CI(0.57,0.71),P ＜0.01].Compared with Non-RRT group,the RRT-AKI group got a higher mortality(87.00％ vs 1.50％,x2 =1 330,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The Cleveland Clinical score had no real predictive value for RRT-AKI in Chinese adult patients after cardiac valve surgery.The incidence of RRT-AKI of the whole population and the stage 3 patients could be predicted by the model.And the patients with a high Cleveland score got a higher mortality than that of patients with a low Cleveland score.

Objective: To explore mechanism of fasudil combined salmeterol and fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation (Seretide) in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH).Methods: A total of 120 patients accorded with diagnostic standards of COPD and PAH, who hospitalized in our department from Jan 2013 to Oct 2014, were selected.According to random number table method, patients were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group, fasudil group (received intravenous drip of fasudil based on routine treatment group) and combined treatment group (received additional Seretide therapy based on fasudil group).Levels of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), C reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were measured and compared among three groups before and after treatment.Results: Compared with before treatment, after two-week treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of CRP, ESR and ET-1, and significant rise in NO level in three groups, P<0.05 or<0.01;compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of CRP[(14.8±3.3) mg/L vs.(12.9±3.6) mg/L vs.(11.4±3.4) mg/L], ESR[(37.3±8.9) mm/h vs.(32.9±8.8) mm/h vs.(29.3±5.6) mm/h]and ET-1[(63.1±11.2) ng/L vs.(57.5±8.1) ng/L vs.(53.1±8.9) ng/L], and significant rise in NO level[(70.2±10.7) μmol/L vs.(76.0±8.0) μmol/L vs.(80.5±11.3) μmol/L]in fasudil group and combined treatment group, P<0.05 or<0.01;compared with fasudil group, there were significant reductions in levels of CRP, ESR and ET-1, and significant rise in NO level in combined treatment, P<0.05 all.Conclusion: Fasudil hydrochloride combined Seretide can significantly reduce levels of ESR, CRP and ET-1, and increase NO level in COPD + PAH patients.It may improve prognosis in these patients, which is worth extending.

Objective To analyze the distribution of common drug-resistance genotypes of multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDRB) in second class and below hospitals in 3 big areas of Chongqing City for perfecting the bacterial drug resistance surveillance network in local area.Methods In 7206 detected strains of MDRB, the re-cultured pure colonies of top five bacteria in the bacterial strains numer were taken and performed the common drug resistant genotyping detection and comparative analysis by PCR technique and sequencing.Results Acinetobacter spp.was dominated by the genotypes carrying TEM,SUL and GyrA genes,Klebsiella pneumoniae was dominated by the genotypes carrying SHV,GyrA genes,Escherichia coli was dominated by the genotypes carrying TEM,CTX-M,SUL,GyrA,aac (3) Ⅱ genes,Pseudomonas aeruginosa was dominated by genotypes carrying SUL,GyrA genes,Staphylococcus was dominated by genotypes carrying GyrA,aac (6 ′)-aph ′′ genes;among the five strains of MDRB,the majority were the strains with multiple expression of two kinds or four kinds of common drug-resistance genes,in which the detection rate of Escherichia coli multiple expression was highest,reaching 92.74%,the detection rate of Staphylococcus multiple expression was lower.The detection rates of common drug resistant genotypes carried by MDRB had statistical difference among various areas and various years (P<0.05);in the comparison with the gene sequences of corresponding bacteria in NCBI Blastn database,the sequencing results of 7 common drug resistant genotypes carried by 5 kinds of MDRB were basically consistent.Conclusion The common drug-resistant genotypes carried by MDRB detected in the second class and below hospitals of Chongqing City and their distribution are basically consistent with the monitoring levels in the local tertiary hospitals and whole nation.Therefore the antibacterial surveillance of infection pathogenic bacteria should be strengthened in these hospitals,and medication should be rationally used so as to delay the development of pathogenic bacterial drug resistance in local area.
