Objective The purpose of this sturdy was to conduct a meta-analysis of published randomised controlled trials(RCT) comparing the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) versus surgery alone(SA) in all patients with cardiac surgery.Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases, CNKI, CBM disc and VIP datebases were searched, and study eligibility and conducted data abstraction were determined independently and in duplicate.Literature searches from database establishment to November 2014.The heterogeneity and data were analyzed by the software of Rev Man 5.2.Results Of 564 studies identified, 8 studies met eligibility criteria, and included a total of 591 patients.In efficacy, The number of patients in sinus rhythm(SR) was signifcantly improved in RFA group compared to SA group at discharge(OR =10.59;95％ CI: 3.81-29.45).This effect on SR remained at all follow-up periods until ＞ 1 year.In safety, there was no significant difference in the incidence of hospital mortality(OR =1.17;95％ CI: 0.41-3.35) and mortality rate in follow up period(OR =0.77;95％ CI: 0.35-1.69) between RFA group and SA group.Similar results were shown in the incidence of permanent pacemaker(OR =0.65;95 ％ CI: 0.28-1.52;P =0.32) , thromboembolic events (OR =1.61;95 ％ CI: 0.54-4.84;P =0.40), postoperative re-intervention for bleeding (OR =0.45;95 ％ CI: 0.12-1.70;P =0.24).Conclusion The results of the current randomized trials demonstrates that concomitant surgical radiofrequency ablation and cardiac surgery is safe and effective at restoring sinus rhythm.

Objective To summarize 500 cases of surgical experience in restoration of adult congenital heart disease ( ACHD) treatment and early postoperative.Methods During January 2012 to December 2014 in Fuwai Hospital, 500 cases of ACHD treated by operation were chosen to collect the clinical data .We divided the groups according to whether the case was a complex malformation and whether the case had an ICU retention time is more than the 5 days.Results The average age was 35, the average weight was 59 kg.The operation average cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) time was 102min.The average ICU treatment time was 2 days, the average duration of mechanical ventilation was 23 hours, 3 early deaths occurred.The complex malformation group had younger age and less weight than the simple malformation group , the complex malformation group had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamping time, mechanical ventilation time and ICU treatment time, had higher rate of complication and blood transfusion peri-operative period than the simple malformation group.(P<0.05) The group of ICU retention time less than 5 days had higher rate of the male proportion, had younger age and less weigh, had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass time , mechanical ventilation time and ICU treatment time , had higher rate of complication and blood transfusion peri-operative period than the control group(P <0.01).Conclusion Although ACHD patients have long medical history and complicated pathological and physiological changes , when they get proper surgical operation and periopera-tive treatment, they should obtain satisfied effect.Professional medical team or organization service for the ACHD patient is very important and urgent to build.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the reason and treatment of the complications of 61 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in order to improve survival rate of ECMO treatment.

METHODSECMO records from January 2007 to December 2014 in Shanghai Chest Hospital were investigated retrospectively focusing on complications. There were included 43 male and 18 female patients, age 3 to 66 years. Indications for ECMO included post-operative low cardiac output, viral myocarditis, bridge to heart transplantation, acute respiratory distress syndrome and myocardial infarction. There were 49 cases of veno-arterial ECMO and 12 cases of veno-venous ECMO.

RESULTSECMO duration was 2 to 61 days. Among 43 patients, 37 patients weaned from ECMO successfully and 28 survived to discharge. Various complications occurred to 56 patients, including oxygenator plasma leakage(4 case times), circuit emboli (7), hemolysis (4), bleeding (34), infection (8), acute kidney injury (35), lower limb ischemia (8) and neurologic complications (6). There were 49 cases times of complications in survivors, while 61 cases times in death group. Bleeding (10 time cases) and acute kidney injury (33 time cases) happened in the death group. Progresses in ECMO technique had influences on complications in some parts. For instance, incidence of lower limb ischemia was 6/7 in cutdown cannulating group, but reduced to 2/42(4.8%) when semi-open technique was applied.

CONCLUSIONSComplications in ECMO are relative to patients' outcome intimately. Appropriate prevention and treatment of complication play a major role in the success of ECMO support. The incidences of certain complications reduce significantly due to progresses of equipment and medical experiences.

Objective: To analyze the magnitude of blood flow energy and characteristics of frequency domain between pulsatile flow and nonpulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass and physiological flow. Methods: From January 2017 to December 2017, 60 cases of patients with mitral valve disease scheduled for mitral valve replacement or repair at Department of Cardiasurgery, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University were randomly divided into 2 groups: pulsatile perfusion (PP) and non-pulsatile perfusion (NP). The magnitude of blood flow energy during pulsatile and non-pulsatile was calculated using energy equivalent pressure (EEP) and surplus hemodynamic energy (SHE) while fast Fourier transformation (FFT) was used to perform power spectral density analysis to identify the frequency domain characteristics between artificial and physiological flow (prior to CPB). The data was analyzed by analysis of variance or t test. Results: At the different time-points after occlusion, the EEP and SHE in PP group were respectively 1.52 to 1.62 and 2.03 to 2.22 times higher than NP at the distal of artery filter. The power density analysis revealed that the blood flow energy of physiological pulsatile flow patterns was within 40 Hz and the ratio of low frequency energy was more than 90% before clamp. The spectral energy ratio of low frequency decreased in both group compared with physiological flow was more obvious in NP group at the radial artery. The ratio of estimated value of power density of PP and NP groups analysis showed the corresponding 0 to 5 Hz, 0 to 10 Hz, 0 to 40 Hz frequency range values measured at the radial artery and filter were 9.51, 4.68, 3.59 and 3.87, 2.69, 2.38 respectively after occulusion. In each frequency range, the energy of PP is higher than that of NP, and the lower the frequency, the greater the difference. The ratio of estimated value of power density of PP and NP groups for the three frequencies measured at the radial artery before and after occlusion were 2.86, 2.83, 2.75 and 14.70, 12.74, 9.85 respectively, and decreased significantly in NP group and low frequency energy. The ratio of estimated value of power density of PP and NP groups under the three different frequencies measured at the radial artery and filter were 26.35, 33.15, 37.36 and 37.41, 54.18, 56.64 respectively, in the conduction process from filter to radial artery, energy exhaustion is significant, especially in group NP. Conclusions The PP provides significantly more energy than the NP whereby the PP is closer to the physiological pulsatile on the energy frequency structure and attenuation characteristics, with mainly low frequency energy of 0 to 5 Hz and weak energy attenuation. The energy loss of non-pulsatile flow is obvious, especially the low frequency energy.

Objective To investigate the endogenous carnosine,glutathione system and oxidative stress level in serum of patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM),and the potential relationships among them.Meth-ods The serum of 102 healthy people,96 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 74 patients with diabetic car-diomyopathy in the third affiliated hospital of QiQihar Medical University were enrolled.Carnosine content was mea-sured by ELISA.T-GSH,GSH and GSSG were detected by using micro-enzyme labeling assay.GSH-Px,GST and GRAC were detected by using colorimetry. The content of NO was detected by nitrate reduction method. The con-tent of H2O2was detected by using molybdic acid coloring method. The activities of NOS and CAT was determined by colorimetry. Results Compared with the healthy control group,the average level of human serum carnosine, GSH content,GRAC,GSH/GSSG ratio,GST activity and T-SH content in the DM and DCM group were signifi-cantly reduced(P < 0.05,respectively). NO content,H2O2and iNOS activity were increased,but CAT activity was decreased in DCM group.Conclusion Decreases of levels of serum carnosine and glutathione(GSH)and the imbalance of redox state were observed in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy,which may promote the occur-rence and development of the diabetic cardiomyopathy.
