Objective To determine the diagnostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in children with myocarditis. Methods A total of 27 children with myocarditis were examined with cardiac MRI, including 16 new?onset cases and 11 chronic cases, as well as 14 cases with non?myocarditis. Sequences included SSFP in axial, two chamber, four chamber and short axis, T2?weighted triple inversion recovery, T1?weighted spin echo before and after gadolinium injection, and inversion recovery?gradient echo after gadolinium injection(late gadolinium enhancement, LGE) in axial and short axis. Qualitative and quantitative image analysis was performed to obtain focal T2 signal intensity and early enhancement signal intensity(SI) ratio of myocardium to skeletal muscleon EGE and LGE.The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. Mann?Whitney and χ2 test were used for statistical comparison. Results The median value of EF was 60.20%(44.40%,70.20%), median value of T2W SI ratio was 2.50(2.04, 3.79),and there were 13 cases with LGE positive findings in myocarditis group. The median value of EF was 73.60%(65.40%,75.85%), the median value of T2WI SI ratio was 1.85(1.77, 2.15), and one case presented LGE positive sign in non?myocarditis group. There were significant statistical differences between the two groups (Z=-2.94,-2.52 ,χ2=5.19 ,P<0.05). The sensitivities for T2WI, EGE, LGE were 81.5%(22/27), 14.8%(4/27) and 48.1%(13/27) respectively. The specificities for T2WI, EGE, LGE were 57.1%(8/14), 100.0%(14/14)and 92.9%(13/14) respectively. The diagnostic accuracies for T2WI, EGE, LGE were 73.2%(30/41), 43.9%(18/41) and 63.4%(26/41) respectively. The best diagnostic performance was obtained when“any?two”of the three sequences were positive in the same patient, yielding a 51.9%(14/27)sensitivity, 92.9%(13/14) specificity, and 65.9%(27/41) diagnostic accuracy.Conclusions The combined CMR approach using T2?weighted imaging, early and late gadolinium enhancement, provides a high diagnostic accuracy and is a useful tool in the diagnosis and assessment of children with myocarditis.

Objective To assess the application value of high time-resolved MR angiography (TR-MRA) in postoperative follow-up study of children with congenital heart diseases. Methods Seventy-three patients (median age 6 years, range 1-20 years) with congenital heart diseases who underwent TR-MRA scan after operation were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-nine cases also were performed conventional contrast-enhanced MRA and forty-four cases were performed phase-contrast MRA. A 3D T1-weighted fast gradient-echo sequence was used for time-resolved three-dimensional MRA (10-20 dynamic data sets, less than three seconds per dynamic data set). The flow dynamics and morphology of pulmonary circulations, lung perfusion and collaterals flow direction were noted. All imaging quality was evaluated by using 5 scales. Left and right pulmonary artery flow volumes were measured and left and right pulmonary artery ratio was noted. SPSS22.0 was used in statistic analysis. The statistical analysis of comparing imaging quality was performed by using paired t-test. The intermodality agreement between TR-MRA and phase contrast in assessing left and right pulmonary perfusion was tested by Kappa coefficient. Results In 73 cases, imaging scores were over 3 and imaging quality was good enough for diagnosis. In 29 cases, there was no statistic difference between TR-MRA and conventional CE-MRA in demonstrating great vessels (P>0.05) except that CE-MRA scores(3.77 ± 0.39)was higher than TR-MRA scores(3.44 ± 0.55)of
inferior vena cava (IVC). There was statistic difference(t=3.68,P=0.01)between two sequences. TR-MRA could qualitatively demonstrate the pulmonary perfusion comparing to the results of PC. In PC sequence, there were 8 cases with symmetric and 36 cases with asymmetric left and right pulmonary perfusion. In TR-MRA sequence, there were 6 cases with symmetric and 38 cases with asymmetric left and right pulmonary perfusion. There was an excellent agreement between PC and TR-MRA (Kappa=0.83,P=0.01). Conclusions TR-MRA not only supplies with high spatial resolution imaging which demonstrates postoperative great arteries anatomy and also with high temporal resolution imaging which can demonstrate the preferential or balanced pulmonary blood flow and collaterals flow direction. TR-MRA is a very important sequence in follow-up study of congenital heart disease.

【Objective】 To investigate the incidence of clinical massive blood transfusion in hospitals, the proportion of departments conducted massive blood transfusion and the current situation of component transfusion, so as to provide a theoretical basis for medical decision-making and further research on massive blood transfusion. 【Methods】 The basic clinical data and transfusion of blood components were retrospectively collected from 489 patients (514 occasions) who received massive blood transfusion at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan. 1 2014 to Dec. 31 2018. 【Results】 The incidence of massive blood transfusion during the 5-year period was 1.2/1 000 inpatients (95%CI: 1.1-1.3), and the 30-day all-cause mortality was 21.88%; in the departments where massive blood transfusion occurred, the mortality rate was the highest in the trauma emergency department (60%), followed by intensive care unit (56.25%) and other surgery department (46.67%), while there was no death in the obstetric department. All patients received red blood cells [median 14 U (11.5-19.13)] and plasma [median 1 600 mL (1 200-2 200)], of which 47% received platelet [median 0 U (0-10)] and 32.68% received cryoprecipitate [0 U (0-10)]. The results of logistics regression analysis of all-cause mortality risk showed that compared with the youth group, the risk of all-cause death at 30 days of elderly patients over 65 years old (65 < age ≤79 years old: OR=2.471, 95%CI=[1.044, 5.847], P<0.05; patients with age > 80 years old: OR=7.563, 95%CI=[1.587, 36.049], P<0.05) and 24-hour RBC infusion volume greater than 18 U (18≤RBC<27: OR=2.948 95%CI=[1.592, 5.462], P<0.05; RBC≥28: OR=3.992, 95%CI=[1.178, 13.536], P<0.05) was higher. 【Conclusion】 A dynamic definition should be included in massive transfusion studies. If only a 24-hour RBC infusion volume ≥18 U was used as the mass transfusion definition, about 68% of cases would be lost. The mortality rate of patients with massive blood transfusion was higher, and the incidence of massive blood transfusion was higher in the departments of cardiac surgery, general surgery and orthopedics surgery. More attention should be paid to the increasing number of female patients with massive blood transfusion. In addition, the risk of 30-day all-cause death was highest in elderly patients over 65 years of age and those with a 24-hour erythrocyte transfusion level of ≥18 U.
