Objective: To explore the relationship between pre-operative severe cyanosis (SC) and the early post-operative recovery in pediatric patients with corrective operation of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 271 pediatric TOF patients who received corrective operation in our hospital from 2010-03-01 to 2013-03-01. Based on pre-operative hemoglobin≥180g/L, the patients were divided into 2 groups: SC group,n=48 and Non-SC group,n=223. Univariate analysis was performed to compare the differences between 2 groups; binary Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify significant changes which was defined byP<0.01 in univariate analysis. Results: Univariate analysis indicated that compared with Non-SC group, the patients in SC group had the higher incidence of post-operative complications,P<0.001, longer time to reach negative fluid balance,P=0.006 and prolonged mechanical ventilation time,P=0.001; while the post-operative kidney injury was similar between 2 groups,P=0.036. Binary Logistic analysis presented that the patients in SC group needed prolonged mechanical ventilation time (OR=3.432, 95% CI 1.014-5.978,P=0.015), longer time to reach negative fluid balance (OR=4.823, 95% CI 2.586-8.941,P=0.002), the higher incidence of post-operative complications (OR=14.322, 95% CI 7.114-26.251,P<0.001). Conclusion: Pediatric TOF patients with pre-operative SC had the higher incidence of early post-operative complications, prolonged mechanical ventilation time and longer time to reach negative fluid balance those resulting delayed post-operative recovery.

Postoperative complications occurred in 23 patients,of Which PS group had 9 cases postoperative complications and control group had 15 cases,so the incidence of complications in PS group Was 20. 93%,loWer than that in control group(31. 91%),and the difference Was statistically significant(P ﹤0. 01). Conclusions PS has good efficacy in treating ARDS in infants With ARDS after congenital heart disease operation.

Objective To explore the risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation in children with trans-position of great arteries and intact ventricular septum who underwent arterial switch operation. Methods This study was a retrospective,single center study. One hundred and twenty patients with transposition of great arteries and intact ventricular septum who underwent primary arterial switch operation between January 2014 and December 2016 at Fuwai Hospital were eligible for this study. The data of patients from pediatric intensive care unit database and electronic medical records were collected. The data related to postoperative respiratory assist time were collected,including demo-graphic data,preoperative diagnosis,intraoperative data,and postoperative recovery data. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to ventilation time which were prolonged mechanical ventilation group(ventilation time > 72 hours) and non - prolonged mechanical ventilation group(ventilation time ≤72 hours). The data of 2 groups were analyzed by using single factor analysis,and the P≤0. 2 factors were processed into Logistic regression analysis. Results Ninety -six patients were enrolled including 22 patients in prolonged ventilation group and 74 patients in non - prolonged me-chanical ventilation group. No statistical significance was found in 2 groups in gender,age,weight,preoperative lactate, hemoglobin,use of prostaglandin E1,mechanical ventilation,cardiopulmonary time,aortic clamping time,the ratio of left ventricular pressure to right ventricular pressure,immediate postoperative plasma lactate,and vasoactive inotropic score. The weight and postoperative left atrial pressure were significantly different between 2 groups with P < 0. 2. Weight were (3. 5 ± 0. 9)kg in prolonged mechanical ventilation group and (3. 9 ± 1. 0)kg in non - prolonged mechanical ventila-tion group (P = 0. 117). Left atrial pressures were (7. 9 ± 1. 9)mmHg(1 mmHg = 0. 133 kPa)in prolonged mechani-cal ventilation group and (6. 7 ± 2. 0)mmHg in non - prolonged mechanical ventilation group(P = 0. 015). The weight and left atrial pressure were processed into Logistic regression analysis and the results revealed that high left atrial pres-sure was the risk factor for ventilation prolongation(OR = 1. 048,P = 0. 020). Respiratory assist time in prolonged and non - prolonged ventilation group was 112(80,194)h and 26(17,46)h,respectively;ICU time in prolonged and non - prolonged ventilation group was 10(1,14)d and 4(3,6)d,respectively;and all the differences were significant (all P = 0. 000). The number of death in each group was 1 with no significant difference(P = 0. 420). Conclusions High left atrial pressure is the risk factor for prolonged mechanical ventilation in children with transposition of great ar-teries and intact ventricular septum following primary arterial switch operation.

Osteosarcoma， a common primary bone malignancy， features high heterogeneity， poor prognosis， high propensity for local invasion and distant metastasis， and high mortality. At the moment， the major therapy is the combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and limb salvage surgery， which remarkably reduces the disability rate and fatality rate. However， long-term use of chemotherapeutic drugs leads to the acquisition of drug resistance by osteosarcoma cells and reduces the sensitivity of the tumor cells to the drugs. Thus， this therapy is not satisfactory. In recent years， amid the advancement in the treatment of tumor， Chinese medicine has attracted extensive attention for the obvious therapeutic effect and few adverse reactions. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） /mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway， as a classic cancer signaling pathway， is abnormally activated in osteosarcoma cells， which affects the proliferation， invasion， and metastasis of osteosarcoma cells by influencing the cycle of tumor cells， inhibiting apoptosis and autophagy of tumor cells， and promoting tumor angiogenesis. According to clinical research， Chinese medicine monomers influence proliferation， apoptosis， and autophagy of osteosarcoma cells and angiogenesis by regulating the activity of proteins in PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway， thereby suppressing osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Moreover， they can reverse the resistance of tumor cells to multiple anticancer drugs. Based on the knowledge and experience of Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteosarcoma， this paper reviews the role of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the treatment of osteosarcoma by Chinese medicine monomers， which is expected to serve as a reference for the application of Chinese medicine in the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Objective    To explore the natural changes of procalcitonin (PCT) in the early period after pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods    A prospective and observational study was done on patients below 3 years of age, who underwent cardiac surgery involving CPB, with the risk adjustment of congenital heart surgery (RACHS) score of 2 to 5 and free from active preoperative infection or inflammatory disease. Blood samples for measurement of PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) were taken before surgery and daily for 7 days in postoperative period. Infections and complications within 7 days after operation were investigated. According to the presence or absence of infection and complications within 7 days after operation, the enrolled children were divided into an infection+complications group, a simple infection group, a simple complication group, and a normal group. Results     Finally, 429 children with PICU stay≥ 4 days were enrolled, including 268 males and 161 females, with a median age of 8.0 (0.7, 26.0) months. There were 145 children in the simple infection group, 38 children in the simple complication group, 230 children in the normal group and 16 children in the infection+complications group. The levels of PCT, CRP and WBC were significantly higher after CPB. CRP and WBC peaked on the second postoperative day (POD) and remained higher than normal until POD7. PCT peaked on POD1 and would generally decrease to normal on POD5 if without infection and complications. Age, body weight, RACHS scores, the duration of CPB and aortic cross-clamping time were correlated with PCT level. There was a statistical difference in PCT concentration between the simple infection group and the normal group on POD 3-7 (P<0.01) and a statistical difference between the simple complication group and the normal group on POD 1-7 (P<0.01). A statistical difference was found between the simple infection group and the simple complication group in PCT on POD 1-5 (P<0.05). Conclusion    WBC, CRP and PCT significantly increase after CPB in pediatric cardiac surgery patients. The factors influencing PCT concentration include age, weight, RACHS scores, CPB and aortic cross-clamping time, infection and complications.
