Objective The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) is considered a low-risk management option for palliation in patients with severely cyanotic heart anomalies in advanced heart centers in western countries.But the morbidity and mortality associated with MBTS remains challenge in developing countries.Methods 106 patients with severely cyanotic complex heart anomalies underwent 110 modified Blalock-Taussig shunts(B-T shunts) between October 2000 and August 2012.The mean age was (3.8 ± 1.1) months (1 day-37.2 months).The mean weight of the babies was (5.0 ± 2.1) kg (2.3 kg-12.0 k g).The cardiac anatomy was as follows:pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in 25,pulmonary atresia with ventricular septum defects in 45,tricuspid atresia in 11,tetralogy of Fallot in 7,complex single ventricle physiology in 18.All patients were deeply cyanotic,and preoperative prostaglandin E1 was needed in 78 patients to ensure ductus patent and maintain oxygen saturations prior to the shunt operation.The shunts were accomplished with 3.0 mm polytetrafluoroethylene grafts in 8 patients,3.5 mm in 11,4 mm in 65,5mm in 26.Results The duration of mechanical ventilation was 4 hours-7 days,cardiac intensive care unit stay was 1-12 days,hospital stay after operation was 1-18 days.There were 3 deaths (2.6％),immediate post-operative shunt block in 1,severe hypoxidosis in 1 and heart failure in 1.Oxygen saturation increased from 68.5％ preoperatively to 79.2％ postoperatively.Four patients had shunt block,additional shunt was created respectively.There was 2 late death.Follow-up of 94 patients revealed satisfactory systemic oxygen saturation of 0.81 ± 0.10 (0.63-0.92).86 cases received further operations,including 7 in TOF radical operation,31 in Rastelli,25 in Glenn,18 in Fontan.Conclusion With an encouraging early shunt patent rate and oxygen saturation increasing,we can now adopt MBTS as an alternative in patients with severely cyanotic heart anomalies.Modified B-T shunt is a good palliation for patients with cyanoti cheart anomalies,which can increase pulmonary blood flow.Excellent surgical skills and perioperative treatment contribute to good operation results,and to low morbidity and low mortality.

Objective To compare the efficacy of heart valve replacement(HVR) with axillary mini-thoractomy (AMT) and HVR with routine medial sternoctomy(MS). Methods The patients wre randomly divided into two groups. In group I 38 cases received HVR with routine MS, and in group II 49 cases received HVR with AMT. Results ⑴The surgical incision was invisible and cosmetic in group I and the volume of post-operative thoracic tube drainage was significantly less than that in group II; ⑵In group I the mean hospitalized days of the patients also was less than those in group II; ⑶There was no significant difference in cardiopumonary bypass time and aortic clamp time between the two groups. Conclusion Axillary mini-thoractomy could be used in most patients of heart valve replacement and has the advantage of the cosmetic and minimal injury.

Objective The feasibility of constructing endothelialized vascular graft by using cryopreserved HUVCs was studies. Methods Forty-two human umbilical cords were used in this study. HUVECs were isolated by means of filling umbilical veins with digestive enzyme solution. HUVECs were then cultured and observed. Endothelial cells were identified by von Willebrand factor immunofluorescence staining and scanning electron microscope examination. Endothelial cells were suspended in cryopreserving solution which contains 10% DMSO and 10% fetal bovine serum in M199 and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. Post-thawed cells and non-frozen cells proliferation was evaluated by measuring the metabolic activity of tetrazolium compound. The endothelial cell growth characteristics were determined by daily observation using phase contrast microscope. Post-thawed endothelial cells viability was determined by trypan blue staining test. Flow cytometry were applied to determine the apoptosis rate of post-thawed cells. Cryopreserved endothelial cells morphological examinations such as hematoxylin and eosins staining and scanning electron microscope examination were carried out in this study. After cell culture and amplification, cryopreserved HUVCs were seeded on the inner surface of Gore-Tex graft to construct tissue engineered vascular graft. Results Extreme high-purified endothelial cells could be isolated by infusing digestive solutions to the lumen of human umbilical veins. Compared with non-frozen endothelial cells, Post-thawed endothelial cells showed 95% of vitality. Post-thawed HUVEC growth curve was similar to non-frozen ones'. Post-thawed HUVEC apoptosis rate (5.85? 0.56) % was higher than non-frozen ones (5.34?0.49)%; however, the difference was not statistically different. Endothelialization of vascular graft was carried out successfully. Cryopreserved cells on Gore-Tex surface showed a good growth trend. Conclusion Cryopreserved HUVCs may be taken as a cell choice for tissue engineering. Enough high pure endothelial cells could be isolated by digestive solutions infusion of human umbilical veins. Post-thawed endothelial cells are proved to have high vitality and growth potential on Gore-Tex surface in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of cardiac surgery in neonates weighing less than 2500g and premature infants. Methods From January 2000 through March 2005, 36 consecutive critically symptomatic neonates (26 males, 10 females) weighing less than 2500g underwent cardiac surgery at our center. Median gestational age was 34 weeks with 24 (70.6%) premature (≤37 weeks). Median age at operation was 15.5 days (from 4 days to 68 days). Median weight was 2120g (from 700g to 2500g). Indications for surgery were: persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA, n=15), coarctation of the aorta (CoA, n=3), transposition of great arteries with severely hypoplastic aortic arch (TGA/HAA, n=1), ventricular septal defect (VSD, n=10), pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS, n=5), total abnormal pulmonary venous return (TAPVR, n=2). The heart functions of all patients were assessed in NYHA class IV and 7 patients (19.4%) were intubated pre-operatively. 18 cases (50%) needed extracorporeal circulation and deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest was used in 6 patients. Results The overall mortality was 11.1%. The causes of death were left heart failure in 1 patient and multiorgan failure in 2 and hypoxmia in 1. Mean extracorporeal circulation time was 92 min (from 72 min to 198 min). Mean aortic cross-clamping time was 76 min (from 46 min to 158 min). Mean deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest Peritoneum dialysis was carried out in 5 cases. Mean follow-up period was 22. 3 months (from 2 months to 46 months). 2 patients underwent reoperation and catheter intervention respectively. The heart functions of 26 patients (81.4%) were in NYHA class I at the latest clinical examination. Conclusion This study suggests that complete repair of simple and complex congenital heart diseases can be performed effectively in low birth weight neonates with acceptable mortality and morbidity. Low weight alone should not be considered as a contraindication to surgery in these patients. It is recommended that such neonates undergo early surgical correction rather than prolonged conservative palliation.

Objective To investigate the auditory brainstem response (ABR) of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after hear screening failure.Methods To test ABR of 833 healthy newborns with no perinatal diseases at the clinic,and 425 newborns born in NICU who failed the hearing screening of monaural or both-ear from March 2014 to May 2015.Results 49.6% of children′s wave V response thresholds were ≥30 dB in the NICU group and 36.1% children′s wave V response thresholds were ≥30 dB in healthy group.The hearing abnormality rate of the NICU group was significantly higher than that of the healthy group(P<0.05);The average auditory thresholds healthy of the group[(19.76±6.59)dB] was significantly lower than those of the NICU group[(41.52±20.35)dB](P<0.05);both ear latency for waves Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅴ and interpeak latency for waves Ⅰ-Ⅴ in healthy group were significantly shorter than those in NICU group (P<0.05).Conclusion The hearing loss extent of the NICU group is greater than that of the healthy group.The ABR abnormality reflects auditory pathway is abnormal.
