Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(15):1131-1135
Pulmonary embolism or pulmonary vein thrombosis is rare in children but does occur.Compare to adults,the vast majority of children with PE have risk factors.The clinical manifestation includes shortness of breath,pleuritic chest pain,and hemoptysis,however,which are not specific.The majority of evidence for treatments in the pediatric population is extrapolated from adult populations; the choice of treatment should be guided by risks and benefits,underlying disease,and especially,the hemodynamic stability of the patient.This article reviews the current knowledge of pulmonary embolism and pulmonary vein thrombosis in the pediatric population,summarizing its characteristics from epidemiological aspects to diagnostic and therapeutic relevant issues.

Objective To analyse the imaging characteristics of solitary pulmonary nodules(SPNs) with the spiral CT, and detection clinical values of the definitive diagnosis to SPNs. Methods 32 cases of SPNs were identified by spiral CT, 9 cases of them were examinated by enhancement scanning. The diffrentical imaging features were analyzed. Results 24 cases were malignant in imaging(18 cases were identified), 8 cases were benign in imaging(6 cases were identified). 15 cases of malignant SPNs by clinical identified were smooth at edge; 6 cases of benign SPNs by clinical identified. 5 cases of them were anomaly;4 cases of them were burr;2 cases of them were bronchial sign and vesiclat sign.6 cases of the SPNs were calcified. 6 cases of SPNs(9 cases with contrasting) were benign in imaging, 3 cases of them were malignant in imaging. Conclusion The differential diagnostic of SPNs is difficult by spiral CT, but enhancement scanning and epidemiology combined with spiral CT is very valuable for definitive diagnosis.

To establish a new model of total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) by improving the vascular anastomosis between vena cava and pulmonary artery and to study the postoperative hemodynamic changes, a Y shaped prosthetic blood vessel was used, one limb of the prosthesic was anastomosed with vena cava, and the other to pulmonary artery in an end to side way. Then the proximal vena cava was ligated. The mean pulmonary artery pressure was kept at about 20mmHg, the hemodynamic parameters were measured. All dogs tolerated the operative procedure. It was found that pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) showed a significantly negative correlation with cardiac output (CO), mean aortic pressure (mAoP), and the ratio of right/left pulmonary artery flow (RPF). The model was successfully developed without cardiopulmonary bypass, and the tricuspid valve and pulmonary artery valve were left untouched. Hemodynamic parameters remained stable. It will be useful in study of the circulation after TCPC operation.

Objective:To study anatomic basis of ligaments factors in carpal radial instability. Methods:The length, width, thickness and maximum length of radial scaphoid capitate ligament(RSCL) , radial lunate ligament(RLL) , radial scaphoid lunate ligament(RSLL),radial scaphoid ligament(RSL), scaphoid trapezium ligament(STmL), scaphoid lunate interosseous ligament(SLIL), scaphoid triangular ligament(STgL) and radial ulnar triangular ligament(RUTgL)were measured in the neutral position. The length of RSCL, RLL, RSLL, RSL and RUTgL in the maximum position of radial deviation, ulnardeviation, palmarflexes and dorsiflexes were also measured. The normal and maximal distance of scaphoid lunate gap(SLG) , scaphoid trapezium gap(STmG), radial scaphoid gap(RSG) and capitate lunate gap(CLG) were measured,especially for variation of SLG in the condition of different ligament lesions. Results:Volar carpal radial ligaments were thicker than dorsal ones. The injuries of SLIL, STmL, RSL and CLL were considered generally when SLG>4.78±0.54mm, STmG>3.71±0.32mm, RSG>5.77±0.79mm, CLG>4.62±79mm; when SLIL was incised completely, SLG>5mm. Keeping anatomic structure of SLIL and incising other ligaments, there existed no obvious variation in SLG. Keeping dorsal part and incising proximal and palmar ones, no obvious variation of SLG can be observed. Conclusions: There were no effects on SLG when carpal radial ligaments (except dorsal part of SLIL) were injuried .Dorsal part of SLIL played a very important role in keeping SLG normal.
