Objective To study the clinical significance of the changes of brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) in children with incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD). Methods Of 25 cases of acute IKD ,20 cases were at the re-covery stage after 2 weeks treatment. 30 cases of upper respiratory tract infection at the same period were taken as controls. The plasma level of BNP,peripheral blood WBC count and C-reaction protein (CRP) levels were detected. Results BNP, WBC and CRP levels in acute IKD children were higher than that of control group (P < 0.01) , which were higher in 20 cases of acute phase than in recovery phase (P < 0.01). Conclusion BNP contributes to the early diagnosis of IKD in children.

BACKGROUND: It has confirmed that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor benazepril can delay fibrosis of varied organs. However, whether benazepril has inhabited effect on peritoneal fibrosis in the process of peritoneal dialysis is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: It is assumed that benazepril could inhabit peritoneal fibrosis of peritoneum with peritoneal dialysis, in addition, to compare the effect to other mehods. METHODS: All rats were randomly and evenly divided into 4 groups. There was no intervention in the control group; saline solution, and 20 mL 42.5 g/L Dianeal solution, was injected into rats in the saline solution and peritoneal dialysis groups; in the combination group, 20 mL 42.5 g/L Dianeal solution was injected combined with oral taken benazepril 20 mg/(kg·d). The intraperitoneal injection performed once a day, for 4 successive weeks. The ultrafiltration function was performed 4 weeks later. Meantime, Paraffin sections were cut and stained by Van Gieson to measure peritoneal thickness. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Two rats in the peritoneal dialysis group and 1 rat in the combination group were dead. The remained 37 rats were included in the final analysis. Compared to the control and saline solution groups, the ultrafiltration volume of the peritoneal dialysis and combination groups were obviously decreased (P_(all)< 0.05), especially notably decreased in the combination group (P< 0.05). Compared to the control group end saline solution groups, the peritoneal thickness was significantly elevated in the combination group, but not as much as in the peritoneal dialysis group (P < 0.05). In the long-term peritoneal dialysis rats, administration of benazepril can effectively protect the ultrofiltration function of peritoneum and delay the progression of peritoneal fibrosis.

Objective To conclude the diagnostic methodology of unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE). Methods By analyzing the echocardiographic results of 16 UCS patients who were diagnosed by 2DE and confirmed by operation, the diagnostic methodology of UCS by 2DE was summarized. Results Sixteen patients with UCS were involved in this study. Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as complete UCS,others were partial UCS(PUCS). Twelve patients were complicated with persistence of left superior vena cava (LSVC) that was connected to left atrium (LA) through UCS. All of preoperative diagnosis conducted by 2DE were finally confirmed to be consistent with the results of operation. With the analysis of acquired echo images,key points of diagnosis were concluded as follow: 1) normal coronary sinus (CS) could not be detected in the routine 2DE views referring CS. PUCS showed partial absence of CS roof,while complete UCS displayed as total absence of CS. 2)Inter-atrial shunt would definitely be found in UCS and the opening to right atrium must be coronary sinus orifice. The shunt direction was depended on the combined cardiac malformations. 3) With the occurrence of UCS,LSVC would be in junction with LA through UCS. 4) The inter-atrial shunt resulted in cardiac morphologic and hemodynamic changes. Conclusions Better understanding of the anatomic, morphological and hemodynamic characteristics of UCS would greatly contribute to accurate diagnosis on UCS.

Objective To determine whether strain and strain rate derived from velocity vector imaging ( VVI) allowed assessment of regional and global right ventricular ( RV) dysfunction and intra‐and inter‐ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with pulmonary hypertension ( PHTN) . Methods Ninety‐nine patients were enrolled , including 35 controls and 64 PHTN patients . All participants underwent echocardiography examinations and off line strain/strain rate analysis . Bi‐ventricular regional peak systolic strain ,strain rate ,and the time‐to‐peak systolic variables were measured at the RV free wall ,inter‐ventricular septum ,and LV lateral wall in apical four chamber views . Standard deviations of the time‐to‐peak systolic strain (SD‐Ts) and strain rate (SD‐Tsr) at six RV and three left ventricular (LV) segments were calculated to define intra‐and inter‐ventricular dyssynchrony . Results Compared with the controls , segmental and global peak systolic strain and strain rate decreased in the PHTN patients . And intra‐right ventricular dyssynchrony was present in the PHTN patients [SD‐Ts:(28 ± 20)ms in controls vs (61 ± 62) ms in patients , P = 0 .003 ] . The difference between the time‐to‐peak systolic strain rate at the basal segment of RV free wall and LV lateral wall indicated earlier RV free wall contraction in PHTN patients , relativetoLVlateralwall,particularlyinthoseseverePHTNpatients[(13±13)msincontrolsvs( -49± 14) ms in patients , P < 0 .01] . Conclusions PHTN impairs RV myocardial contraction and induces to ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony .VVI could monitor RV function during the treatment of PHTN .
