OBJECTIVETo evaluate whether intraoperative autologous donation (IAD) can reduce perioperative blood transfusion for patients underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR).
METHODSA total of 318 patients received implementation of IAD from January 2011 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively, and compared with 517 patients of the previous 36-month period (from January 2008 to December 2012). The method of small-volume retrograde autologous priming, strict blood transfusion standard along with IAD together constituted a progressive blood-saving strategy. Statistical methods including Students' t-test, Pearson's χ(2) test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used for comparisons of the data.
RESULTSThere were no significant difference between IAD group and non-IAD group considering preoperative patient demographics, characteristics and preoperative comorbidities. However, IAD group significantly reduced number of patients transfused with intra/post-operative packed red-blood cell (PRBC) (55(17.0%) vs. 215 (42.1%), χ(2)=53.0, P=0.000), and had significantly reduced postoperative chest tube output (150(380) ml vs. 700(660) ml, H=195.648, P=0.000), length of stay ((16±6) d vs. (20±8)d, t=9.60, P=0.000). But hematocrit were lower in IAD group (30%±5% vs.33%±4% at end of operation, t=7.76, P=0.000; 30%±4% vs. 32%±5% at discharge, P=0.000, t=3.86). Multivariate logistic aggression analysis revealed that age, IAD and smoking history were factors influencing the probability of intra or postoperative blood transfusion.
CONCLUSIONImplementation of blood conservation strategies based on intraoperative autologous donation in mitral valve replacement surgery can significantly reduce intra/postoperative blood transfusion as well as postoperative complications.

Objective:To construct back propagation (BP) neural network model to predict the dose required for 131I therapy for hyperthyroidism and to calculate the personalized dose plan for patients. Methods:A complete set of data of patients treated for hyperthyroidism radioaiodine was collected from the nuclear medicine departments of several medical colleges in Shanghai, including history, examination result, treatment course, etc. As a result, a prediction model was established. The predicated result for BP neural network, radial basis function (RBF) neural network and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were compared by means of small sample data. The optimal model was selected to predict administrated dose and to finally test the accuracy of the model.Results:The average errors in BP neural network, RBF neural network and SVM model based on small samples were 5.53%, 7.09% and 9.64%, respectively. After comparison, BP neural network was selected to build the prediction model. 30 cases of data were selected by random sampling to verify the BP neural network. The mean error, mean square error, minimum error and maximum error of the prediction result were 7.22%, 0.053, 0.57% and 13.78%, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a neural network prediction method was proposed to provide a more accurate dose for patients in need of radioiodine therap for hyperthyroidism, and to reduce the possibility of radiation damage or the unsatisfactory therapeutic effect caused by insufficient dose. It has clinical practical significance in providing the reference for clinicians to evaluate the administrated dose.
