Objective To summarize the clinical experiences of total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC), investigate the applications and short and mid term effects. Methods From 1999 to 2007,31 patients with complex congenital heart disease underwent TCPC. All patients were divided into child group(≤16 years old ,n =21 ) and a-dult group( n = 10 ), including 15 cases of functional univentricle, 8 cases of complete atrioventricular septal defect with double outlet of right ventricle, 3 cases of transposition with double outlet right ventricle, 3 cases of tricuspid atresia, 1 case of double outlet of right ventricle with hypoplastic left heart. 1 case of corrected transposition of the great arteries with TOF. Among them, 1 patient had cortriatriatum, 10 patients had left superior vena cave, moderate or severe mitral valve insufficiency occurred in 1, moderate atrioventricular valve insufficiency occurred in 3.28 pa-tients underwent TCPC with cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB ) and 3 patients without CPB ;Of them, 21 patients were treated with extracardiac conduit and 10 cases with intratrial lateral tunnel. Results There was no early death,post-operative death or large quantities of pleural effusion in child group;but two deaths and three patients with large quantities of pleural effusion in adult group. One case caught up in inferior venous stasis and was cured. Follow- up was carded out from 6 months to 6 years. 26 patients were in NYHA class Ⅰ ,2 patients in NYHA class Ⅱ and only one patient in NYHA class Ⅲ. Conclusions TCPC is effectively used for complex congenital heart disease which can not be corrected in anatomy;serious postoperative complications often occur in adults. Atrioventricular valve in-sufficiency decisively affects the short and midterm effects, even the long-term effects.

It is well documented that altered biosynthesis of cell surface N-linked oligosaccharides is associated with the transformed cells and tumors.N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase Ⅱ(GnT-II;EC 2.4.1.143)is a medial Golgi enzyme that catalyses the incorporation of a GlcNAc residue in ?-1,2 linkage to the Man-?-1,6 arm of the N-glycan core.This is an essential step in the biosynthetic pathway leading from hybrid to complex N-glycans.Because functional GnT-Ⅱ is an prerequisite of N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase V performance,It was speculated that GnT-Ⅱ was involved in cancer development and progression.The expression of GnT-Ⅱ in mouse breast cancer cells 67NR and 4T1 which have different behavior of metastasis was analysed using RT-PCR.The amounts of GnT-Ⅱ in the highly metastatic cell 4T1 increased to 1.53 times of the lowly metastatic cell 67NR.To determine the association of GnT-Ⅱ with tumor progression,the GnT-Ⅱ encoding gene was amplified with RT-PCR and cloned into retrovirus vector pMSCV,resulting in pMSCV-GnT-Ⅱ.The recombinant plasmid was transfected into 4T1 and the transfected cells were selected in the medium containing puromycin,which were harvested to detect the adhesion ability to fibronection and the migration potential by transwell system.The cell adhesion to fibronectin was weakened by 67% and migration potential was increased by 82%.The data indicates that GnT-Ⅱ mediates cell adhesion and migration,thus may play an important role in cancer metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the causes, characteristics and treatment of maxillofacial trauma in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 470 consecutive maxillofacial records of the patients not older than 14 years was conducted. Data regarding age, gender, cause, anatomic site and treatment were reviewed. Results:Most of the patients were mals(335 cases, 71.3% ), with a male and female ratio of approximately 2. 5;1 of the injuries, 28. 5% were due to accidental falls, 17.0% traffic accidents and 10.0% sharp implementt cutting. Injuries of soft tissue often occurred on gingiva, cheek, lip and chin. Mandibuir fratures were the most common (55.1% ) of all bone fractures. Conservative therapy, such as closed reduction surgery, maxillomandibular fixation, was usually performed. Conclusion: ①Boys are more tendent to be victims of maxillofacial trauma than girls. ②Falls are the first cause of child victims. ③Gingiva, chin, lip, check and mandible are the most commonly injuried sites.

Objective To investigate the interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) and host uroepithelial cells, define the role uroepithelial cells play in initiating and modulating the host response to infection with UPEC strain. Methods The human bladder transitional epithelial EJ cells were evaluated for their capacities to allow the adherence and invasion by UPEC132, a clinical strain isolated from Tianjin, China, and a cDNA microarray for 22 000 human genes was used to identify the gene expression differences between EJ cells infected with UPEC132 and uninfected EJ cells. Results Microscope observation showed that UPEC132 could adhere to EJ cells with the adherence rate of (73.20 ± 5.26)%. And visualization by confocal microscope revealed that this microorganism could be seen within the cells. EJ cells infected with UPEC132 changed mRNA expression of a total of 29 genes, including 28 genes up-regulated and 1 gene down-regulated. Of these, regulators of growth and proliferation, cytokines, and modulators of apoptotic responses were the most prominent. Conclusion The gene expression profiling of EJ cells is affected by the infection of UPEC strain. The differentially expressed genes may contribute to further investigate the interaction of UPEC and uroepithelial cells.
