Objective To evaluate effects of maternal hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass on fetal homodynamic and carbohydrate metabolism. Methods Twenty pregnant sheep were divided into four groups randomly: control group(n=5),normothermic group (35-36℃)(n=5), mild hypothermic group(32-34℃)(n=5) and moderate hypothermic group (28-31℃)(n=5).Thoracotomy was performed without CPB in the control group. Routine CPB was established with different temperature in other three groups. The temperature of normothermic group was kept normal; the left two groups were cooled down to the set point of temperature and then rewarmed back to normal level. Fetal and maternal temperatures, heart rate,mean blood pressure(BP), pulse index (PI) of fetal umbilical artery (UA) and internal carotid artery (CA) were evaluated at cooling and rewarming stages. Biochemical indicators including blood glucose and lactic acid were also measured at the same time. Results There are no differences in mesn BP of ewas and fetal lambs between the different groups (P＞0.05). CA PI value of mild hypothermic group and moderate hypothermic group were significantly higher than those of control group and normothermic group (P＜0.05). There was no difference of UA PI in the four groups, but PI increased following the prolonged duration of CPB. There was no difference change of blood glucose in the four group of fetus, which was significantly lower than the ewe groups. An upward trend of fetal blood lactic acid with time was observed in three CPB groups. The whole level of fetal blood lactic acid was much higher than that of maternal blood of lactic acid. Conclusion Cooling of maternal bypsss decreases fetal heart rate significantly,and fetal heart rate recovered to base line following rewarming phase. There was no signicant effect of CPB on fetal mean BP. However, CPB impacted on the blood flow of fetal brain and umbilical artey. Hypothermia CPB can increase fetal blood glucose and blood lactic acid dramatically.

AIM: To investigate the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and α-SMA in human lens epithelium cell (HLEC) line B3 after transfection by liposome-coated siRNA targeting CTGF.METHODS: HLECs were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting CTGF,labeled with 5`-fluorescein isothiocyanate (5`-FITC) and coated with lipofectamine.The transfection ratio was evaluated via fluorescence intensity.Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to assess cytoviability of both non-transfected and transfected HLECs.Quantitative RT-PCR,cell immunochemistry and Western blot analysis were conducted to detect the expression changes of CTGF and α-SMA after transfection.RESULTS: A highly effective transfection ratio was observed in siRNA co-transfected with lipofectamine.The transfection ratio reached 95% at 24h.The proliferation of HLECs was inhibited by siRNA after 72h transfection.The expression of CTGF and α-SMA significantly decreased in HLECs after transfected by CTGF siRNA for 24h.This effect was not found in negative control siRNA.CONCLUSIONS: SiRNA targeting CTGF decreased CTGF and α-SMA expression in HLECs,which is a potential therapeutic strategy for posterior capsular opacification.

Objective To compare the results of transcatheter intervention (TI) and surgical operation (SO) in the pri-mary treatment for pulmonary atrcsia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS). Methods From January 2006 to May 2009, 25 patients (20 male,5 female) with PA/IVS were treated. The age at treatment was from 2 days to 8 months. The body weight was from 2.1 kg to 6.7 kg. All patients had mild to moderate hypoplasia of the right ventricle (the Z-valvue of the tricuspid valve: from -2 to 1.5) with tripatite right ventricle and without coronary artery-right ventricular fistula. Eight patients under-went TI and 17 patients underwent SO. Results The primary procedure was successful in 7 patients (88%) in TI group and in 16 patients (94%) in SO group. There were 2 deaths (1 in each group). There was no significant difference regarding re-sidual pulmonary stenosis between two groups. The ventilation time and the days of hospital stay were shorter in TI group than in SO group. All the survivors were followed up for 3-36 months. One patient required repeat balloon dilation in TI group. While in SO group, one required reoperation and one required balloon dilation for PS, and 2 patients were waiting for balloon dilation. Twenty-one patients have achieved complete biventricular circulation. Two patients were scheduled for Glenn shunt operation later (1 in each group). Conclusion For PA/IVS patients with mild or moderate right ventricle hypoplasia, tran-scatheter intervention is a better alternative than surgical operation in the primary treatment.

Objective Retrospectively analyze surgical correction supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous con-nection (TAPVC) using sutureless technique to prevent post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis. Methods Between December 2007 and December 2008, 25 children cases of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection underwent primary surgical cor-rection. The anatomic types of TAPVC were supra cardiac in nine patients, inha cardiac in one, mixed in 3 and intra cardiac in 12. Five of nine supra cardiac TAPVC underwent correction using sutureless technique. There were 2 male and 3 female. Their age at surgeries ranged from 2 months to 13 years, and the body weight were from 4.5 kg to 2.1 kg with an average of (7.9±6.4) kg. After median sternotomy and opening the pericardium, the heart was arrested by delivering cold crystal ear-dioplegia. The heart was then positioned toward the patient' s right and under the right henri sternum. A generous incision across the posterior wall of the left atrium and one on the common pulmonary vein was made. The latter was extended upwards to the midpoint of the vertical vein. The left atrium was subsequently connected to the pulmonary venous confluence by suturing the edge of the atrium to the posterior mediastinal pericardium that surrounding the common pulmonary vein and the vertical vein with 7-0 PDS. The vertical vein was partially ligated after conclusion of CPB, leaving a diameter of 5mm shunt. Routine follow-up with echocardiogram were at diacharging, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Results All 5 cases survived uneventfully excopt 1 baby on ventilation over 7 days after surgery, who had bilateral lung consolidation before the operation. Echocardiogram showed satisfactory results with maxium velocity acrossing the anastomosis of 0.65 -0.85 m/s. Conclusion Sutureleas technique can avoid trauma to the pulmonary venous endothelium and minimize the tension of anastomasis. It may play an important role to prevent post-repair pulmonary vein stenosis. More patients with long-term follow-up are necessary to draw a definite conclusion of this technique.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair of typeⅢ pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal de-fect( PA/VSD) .Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 98 patients with type Ⅲ PA/VSD who underwent sur-gical repair in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery , Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from September 2005 to December 2014.There were 54 males and 44 females at the mean age of(4.2 ±4.8) years and the mean weight of(13.2 ±10.0) kg. There were 67 patients in palliative repair group and 31 patients in radical repair group .There were 85 patients underwent on-pump operation including 9 beating heart cases.Results The mean bypass time was(121.2 ±49.4)min, the mean aorta cross-clamping time was(75.4 ±31.8) min.The overall postoperative mortality was 6.1%(6/98).For the survival patients, the mean ventilation time was(106.7 ±184.3) h, the mean ICU stay was(8.9 ±10.9) days and the mean hospital stay was (33.4 ±17.0)days.During follow-up period, 28 patients were underwent re-operation, the postoperative mortality was 7.1%(2/28).There were no differences in postoperative status between two groups.Conclusion The outcomes of surgical repair for type Ⅲ PA/VSD was good.Preoperative evaluation of the pulmonary development and MAPCAs were helpful for choosing surgical options.Re-operation was recommended to those appropriate patients.

Objective To summarize the experience and early outcomes of surgical treatment of adult tetralogy of Fallot (ATOF).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 227 patients with ATOF who underwent surgical repair in the Department of Cadiovascular Surgery,Guangdong Cardivascular Institute from January 2004 to December 2014.There were 112 males and 115 females at a median age of 34 years(range,18 to 58 years) and a mean weight of(49.00 ± 8.27) kg.All patients were underwent one stage repair,including 129 cases with transannular patch and 61 cases with MAPCAs in which 4 cases were underwent hybrid occlusion.Results There were 12 cases died in hospital(5.3％),24 cases with Re-thoratomy for hemaostsis,5 cases with poor wound healing,10 cases with postoperative pneumonia.There were 25 cases with residual VSD including 8 cases caused by surgeon in congenital heart disease department and 17 cases caused by surgeon in adult heart disease department(P ＜ 0.05).The repair with transannular patch required significantly longer bypass time [(87.83 ± 26.02) min vs.(78.47 ± 26.00) min,P =0.009].The cases with MAPCAs had higher cost than that with no MAPCAs [(83 137.01 ±69363.05) RMB vs.(66 184.29 ±44219.38) RMB,P=0.03].Conclusion The early outcomes of ATOF is good.The cases with MAPCAs had higher cost than that with no MAPCAs.The CHD surgeon had lower probability of residual VSD.Preoperative evaluation of MAPCAs by CHD surgeon and perioperative maintain of the right ventricular function were helpful.
