Objective:To explore the application value of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)in secondum atri-al septal defect (ASD)intervention and minimally invasive occlusion surgery in adult patients.Methods:A total of 134 cases adult patients (>15 years)with pure secondum ASD (including 91 cases undergoing interventional occlu-sion and 43 cases undergoing minimally invasive occlusion surgery),who were screened via transthoracic echocardio-graphy (TTE)and TEE from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012,were selected.Intervention group and minimally invasive sur-gery group received TTE and TEE monitoring respectively during operation.Preoperative TTE and TEE parameters and operation results were compared and analyzed.Results:The parameters of ASD diameter measured by TEE were significantly higher than those measured by TTE in two groups (P <0.01 all).Maximum defect diameter of ASD measured by TEE was significantly higher than that of measured by TTE [(19.8±5.2)mm vs.(18.7±4.9)mm], P <0.01. The correlation between maximum defect diameter measured by TTE and occluder size (intervention group r =0.926,minimally invasive surgery group r =0.215)was all lower than that of TEE (intervention group r=0.965,minimally invasive surgery group r =0.627),P <0.01 both.Conclusion:TEE is better than TTE in as-sessment of ASD size.It should be regarded as a routine preoperative screening method for adult ASD patients.It has important value in real-time monitoring,guidance and immediate evaluation of therapeutic effects during mini-mally invasive ASD occlusion surgery.

Objective To compare the cognitive difference of subjects'responses to the same visual stimuli under two different priming conditions,and to discuss the influence of inversion effect and configural changes upon facial recognition.Methods Priming pattern was employed,and subjects were induced to recognize the same stimuli as schematic faces or three English letters under different priming conditions.The participants'accuracy and reaction times were compared in two priming conditions. Results Participants'accuracy of the comparison stimuli in facial priming condition decreased significantly by inversion effect((79.03±10.53)%vs(89.43±9.98)%,P<0.01);reaction times of priming stimuli and comparison stimuli were delayed by inversion effect significantly((3720.40±607.71)ms vs(2998.33±544.02)ms,(3521.80±1038.20)ms vs(2750.87±867.13)ms,P<0.01),and there was no influence of inversion effect upon the reaction times of English letter stimuli(P>0.05).Correlations of accuracy to reaction times reached no significant difference under two conditions.Conclusion Priming effect make sense in the cognition,and there was a priming stage before the facial configuration.Inversion effect shows up in the face priming condition,and vanish in the English letter priming condition,which demonstrate the importance of configuration and inversion effect in the facial cognition.What's more,such effect can't be explained by the changes of cognitive difficulty.
