Methods: 31 patients with ACRC entered the study. L-OHP 130 mg/m2 , iv infusion for 4 hours on day 1; CF 200 mg/m2 , iv infusion for 2 hours followed by 5-FU 500mg/ m , iv infusion for 4 hours from day 1 to day 5, repeated every 3 weeks. Results: There were 10 partial responses, 7 stable disease, 9 progressive disease, the response rate being 38. 5% . The main adverse effect was neuro-sensory toxicity which was seen in 90. 3% of the patients. Vomitting and diarrhea was observed in 58. 1% and 45. 2% of the patients respectively. Bone marrow suppression was mild. Conclusions: L-OHP combination with 5-FU/CF yields an encouraging response with acceptable toxicity in our study. Furthermore clinical reseach is worthwhile.

Objective To summarize clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgery of abnormally origination of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery were analyzed, including 5 men and 5 women, aged from 13 to 40 years. Definite diagnosis was made by ultrasonic cardiogram (UCG) and cardiac catheter examination. Three cases were simply abnormal origination, six cases combined with MI, and one case combined with both MI and ventricular aneurysm of left ventricular apex. Ligation of the abnormal coronary artery was done in four patients, three were given pulmonary artery inner tunnel plasty under extrocorporeal circulation. Open implantation of left coronary artery to ascending aorta were done in 3 patients, while plasty of mitral valve were performed in 5 and ventricular aneurysm resection in 1. Results One patient died postoperatively. The follow-up ranged from 1 month to 11 years. One patient received replacement of mitral valve 16 months after first surgery due to severe MI. All the followed-up patients presented no myocardial ischemia or infarction, no residual shunt or late death. Cardiac function was rehabilitated to grade 1. Conclusion Obvious blood dynamics and cardiovascular morphology changes existed in patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery. Early diagnosis and surgery should be done. Proper surgical approach is the key to success.

Objective To study the changes of nitric oxide synthase in placenta during fetal cardiac bypass. Methods Eight pregnant ewes (gestation 120～140 d)were divided equally into control group and bypass group. Bypass group underwent fetal cardiac bypass with centrifugal pump and placenta. Fetal hemodynamic date and blood gas value were recorded before and after bypass. Placenta vascular resistance was calculated. Fetal serum nitric oxide (NO), serum endothlin-1(ET-1) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of placenta tissue were assayed. Transcriptions of endothelial NOSmRNA in placental tissue were assayed with RT-PCR technique. Results Acidosis and pressure of oxygen decreased after bypass appeared in fetal lamb of bypass group. Placenta vascular resistance of bypass group elevated significantly (P

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of one-stage repair of aortic coarctation (CoA) and associated cardiac anomalies in infants through a midline sternotomy. Methods Between June 2002 and August 2005, 36 patients (27male, 9 female) underwent surgery for CoA. The age was from 18 days to 8 years[mean (14.3?9.5) months], 27 patients (75%) were younger than 1 year and 18 patients (50%) were younger than 3 months. The body weight was from 3.0 to 23 kg [mean(6.6?3.0)kg]. 27 patients were symptomatic infants and 8 patients were asymptomatic of adults. One patient had recoarctation after repair through a left thracotomy one year ago. The associated cardiac anomalies included ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, secundum atrial septal defect, hypoplasia of the aortic arch, transposition of great arteries and subaortic stenosis. 36 cases underwent one-stage operation of extended end-to-end anastomosis through a midline sternotomy. Results One patient died postoperatively with a mortality of 2.8 %. The cause of death was heart and lung function failure. 35 cases were followed up from 4 months to 3 years .One late death occurred. 34 cases were in good condition and no recoarctation. Conclusion Outcomes of one-stage repair of CoA and associated cardiac anomalies in infants through a midline sternotomy is excellent. Technique of extended end -to-end anastomosis may potentially reduce the incidence of recoarctation.

Objective To observe the relationship between blood stasis syndrome and clinical pathology in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods Clinical and pathological materials of 42 patients with blood stasis syndrome,and 73 patients with non blood stasis syndrome were analyzed. Result Patients with blood stasis syndrome are often female and accompanied with renal dysfunction. Compared with patients of non blood stasis syndrome,Lee’s grades were obviously higher,degrees of fibrinogen-related antigen (FRA) deposited in renal were stronger,and scores or ratio of tubular atrophy significantly were higher. Conclusion Blood stasis syndrome of IgAN is correlated with certain renal pathological changes. Blood stasis is the main etiological factor.

Objective To summarize the experience of interventional catheterization conjoined with cardiac surgical procedures performed in 23 children with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods 12 cases with residual patent ductus arteriosus after surgical ligation and 2 postoperative cases with severe cyanosis CHD with leftover ventricular septal defect (VSD) received transcatheter closure procedures. 2 children with branch pulmonary stenosis after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) received angioplasty and stent placement, respectively. Another postoperative case with aortopulmonary collateral arteries (APCAs) angiorrhexis underwent transcatheter haemostasis. 6 cases underwent interventional catheterization in the preoperative period. 5 cases with transposition of great arteries (TGA) underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) before artery switch procedure and 1 case of TOF underwent APCAs transcatheter occlusion before total correction. Results All cases with residual left to right shunts after surgery were occluded by transcatheter therapy. Interventional catheterization procedure relieved stenosis of branch pulmonary artery in postoperative case with TOF. Haemorrhage was stopped with embolization of ruptured APCAs. Hypoxia and acidosis improved after BAS therapy in 5 cases with TGA and intact ventricular septum and 3 survived from following artery switch procedure while 2 died. The APCAs was transcatheter occluded before TOF total correction. Conclusion Interventional catheterization therapy conjoined with cardiac surgical procedure was an effective and essential method in some postoperative CHD cases and in some of complex cyanosis CHD cases.
