Ovbective To evaluate the outcome of the complete repair for critical and complex congenital heart defects in small infants with cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods A retrospective review of hospital records was performed for 187 infants under 6 months undergone cardiac operation from January 2000 to January 2004. Average age was (4.15?2.32) months (3d-6months) and average weight was (4.42?0.56)kg (3～7kg). The diagnoses included ventricular septal defect with pulmonary hypertension,transposition of the great arteries,aortic coarctation with other lesions,total anomalous pulmonary venous connection,tetralogy of Fallot,atrioventricular canal defect,pulmonary atresia,and neonatal cardiac tumor. Average duration of mechanical ventilation was (17.5?9.7) hours. ICU stay was (4.9?1.5) days. Results 9 cases died after operation with a hospital mortality of 4.81%. Postoperative complications included low cardiac output syndrome,residual shunt,pulmonary infection and pulmonary hemorrhage. 178 are alive and in good cardiac status at follow-up of 4～48 months. After repair,growth approximates the normal. Conclusion With the development of pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiac operation with CPB in small infants with critical and complex congenital heart defects is feasible and may provide satisfactory survival.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ischemic preconditioning(IP) on liver function,complications and hospital stays after hepatectomy under hepatic vascular exclusion by a meta-analysis.Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) were identified from PUBMED,EMBASE,the Cochrane Library,VIP,CNKI and Wanfang Data according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Literature screening,data extraction and quality assessment were made and the meta-analysis was processed by RevMan 4.2.2.Results Eight RCTs involving a total of 511 patients were included.The methodological quality was evaluated and all the trials were in graded B.The meta-analysis revealed that the postoperative ALT peak level(weighted mean difference=-176.37;95%CI:-320.67~-30.06;P=0.02)and postoperative complications incidence(odd ratio=0.64;95%CI: 0.41~0.98;P=0.04)were lower in IP group compared with control group,but there were no significant differences in blood loss,operating time,hepatic vascular exclusion time,postoperative AST and total bilirubin peak level,and hospital stays in both groups.Conclusions IP reduces the postoperative ALT peak level and complications incidence after hepatectomy under hepatic vascular exclusion,but there is no sufficient evidence to support that the IP can protect the liver from ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the changes of cerebral blood flow and the level of brain injury in a rat model of deep hypothermia low flow(DHLF).Methods Twelve SD rats aged 3 weeks were randomly divided into sham group and model group.Regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)of all rats was measured continuously during the operation by laser Doppler flowmetry,and the changes of rCBF were measured before temperature decreased,when the temperature decreased to(21.0±0.5)℃,0-5 minutes,25-30 minutes,55-60 minutes,115-120 minutes during DHLF and 0-5 minutes after DHLF operation.Another 60 SD rats aged 3 weeks were randomly divided into sham group and model group.Six rats of each group were sacrificed at 1,6,24,72 hours and 7 days after DHLF operation to detect the pathological changes of the brain and the neuronal apoptosis by HE staining and TUNEL assay.The neurological deficit score(NDS)was recorded at 24,72 hours and 7 days after operation for evaluating the neurologic functional outcome.ResultsWhen the temperature was decreased to(21.0±0.5)℃,the levels of rCBF of sham group and model group were significantly decreased to(41.1±4.2)% and(40.7±3.4)% of the baseline value,and the rCBF level of model group was further decreased to(15.7±3.5)% of the baseline value 0-15 minutes during DHLF(P ＜ 0.01),with no obvious changes in all the time intervals during DHLF.Compared with the sham group,the scores of NDS of model group were significant lower at 24 and 72 hours after operation(P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Besides,a significant pathological change of the brain tissue and a increased percentage of TUNEL-positive staining cells were observed in model group at 6,24,72 hours and 7 days after operation(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Rat model of DHLF is an ideal and reliable model of brain injury,for it is similar to DHLF procedure of clinical cardiac operation.
