International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(4):362-366
Ventricular septal defect is one of the most common congenital heart diseases in children.Surgical repair,transcatheter closure and hybrid procedure are common clinical treatments.The traditional therapy for ventricular septal defect is cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.Recent publications have reported the safe and effective results of the transcatheter therapy and hybrid procedure for ventricular septal defect.This paper provides an overview of the indications,complications and latest progress about the main three therapies for ventricular septal defect in order to explore a more rational method.

Background Idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane (IMEM) occurs probably along with vitreous macular traction syndrome (VMTS),persudo macular hole (PMH) and lamellar macular hole (LMH).Removing posterior hyaloid and completely peeling IMEM are the key to the treatment.Objective This study was to investigate the effectiveness of indocyanine green (ICG)-assisted macular epiretinal membrane combined internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for IMEM.Methods Twenty nine eyes of 29 patients with IMEM were collected in Affiliated First Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2010 to September 2012,including 16 eyes with simple macular epiretinal membrane,6 eyes with both IMEM and VMTS,3 eyes with IMEM and PMH,4 eyes with IMEM and LMH.A standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy was performed.After removal of posterior hyaloid,0.25% ICG was used to assist IMEM and ILM peeling.The process and results were recored.Results After staining,the free boundary of the IMEM became obvious and IMEM was peeled directly in 17 of the 29 eyes (58%).In the others (42%),a free petal of ILM was made,IMEM and ILM were peeled together.In all the 29 eyes,the peeled zone could be easily recognized.No serious intraoperative complication was found.The mean postoperative follow-up was (9.65 ±7.58)months (ranged,1 to 28 months).Visual acuity was improved in 20 eyes (69%).The LogMAR vision was significantly improved in postoperation in comprison with preoperation (0.62 ±0.56 versus 0.72 ±0.67) (t =2.370,P=0.025).No IMEM recurred during the following-up duration.Conclusions ICG-assisted ILM peeling can make the surgery of IMEM safer and prevent recurrence.

Objective To investigate hippocampal neuronal damage and dynamic change of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit GluR2 in status epilepticus, to find out whether GluR2/glyceral dehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) interaction has any change.Methods Male Wistar rats (62 cases) were induced to status epilepticus by using LiC1-pilocarpine.The 62 rats were divided into 1 h (6 cases),6 h (12 cases), 24 h (12 cases),72 h (12 cases)and 7 d (20 cases)after status epilepticus.At the same time, the healthy control group (12 cases) was established.Morphologic changes of hippocampus and the amount of apoptotic cells in healthy control and SE model groups at different time points (6 h, 24 h, 72 h, 7 d) (6 cases each group) after status epilepticus were quantified by adopting Nissl staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling staining respectively.Expressions of GluR2 in healthy control and SE model groups at 1 h,6 h,24 h,72 h and 7 d (6 cases each group) after status epilepticus were detected by using Western blot.Co-precipitation and Western blot techniques were used to investigate whether the GluR2/GAPDH interaction in the hippocampus was increased.Results Compared with the healthy control group, the number of nerve cells in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions was significantly reduced at all studied time points(F =30.866,24.043, all P <0.05).Apoptotic cells in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions were significantly increased at 24 h,72 h and 7 d after status epilepticus (F =84.762,52.574, all P < 0.01).GluR2 at 1 h,6 h after status epilepticus was equal to that of the control group (P > 0.05), but it was shown to be significantly down-regulated at other studied time points (F =76.506,P < 0.01);when compared with the healthy control group,the GluR2/GAPDH interaction was significantly up-regulated in the hippocampus at 72 h after status epilepticus (t =7.029, P < 0.05).Conclusions Status epilepticus can lead to neuronal damage in the hippocampus.Down-regulation of GluR2 and increase of the GluR2/GAPDH complex formation might be one of the mechanisms involved in hippocampal neuronal damage.

Objective To explore the key molecular targets and possible mechanisms of Aidi injection in the treatment of ovarian cancer using network pharmacology and cell experiments.Methods TCMSP database was used to screen the active ingredients and tar-gets of Aidi injection,and the abnormal expressed genes of ovarian cancer were screened,and the possible targets of Aidi injection in o-varian cancer were obtained after intersection analysis.Then,protein-protein interaction analysis,drug-compact-target network con-struction and enrichment analysis of possible targets were performed.The target was further screened,and the key genes related to the prognosis of ovarian cancer were experimentally verified.After treated with 50mg/ml Aidi injection,the cell proliferation ability was ob-served by CCK-8 assay,and the expression of core target genes was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results A total of 13 possible targets of Aidi injection in ovarian cancer were screened.These targets were mainly enriched in signaling pathways closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors,such as apoptosis,platinum resistance and interleukin-17.Among the 13 genes,claudin 4(CLDN4),secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor(SLPI)and baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5(BIRC5)were associated with the prognosis of ovarian cancer.Cell experiments showed that Aidi injection significantly inhibited the proliferation of ovari-an cancer cell,promoted the expression of BIRC5,a protective target of ovarian cancer,while significantly decreased the levels of ovarian cancer risk factors CLDN4 and SLPI.Conclusion Aidi injection may achieve multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway anti-ovarian cancer and combination chemotherapy by affecting the expression of CLDN4,SLPI and BIRC5.
