Objective Retrospectively analyze 47 cases received reoperation with aortic disease after aortic valve replacement to deepen the understanding of aortic valve disease.Methods From January 2003 to June 2012,47 patients with previous aortic valve replacement received aortic root or other aortic operation because of new aortic disease.38 male and 9 female,the interval (6.0 ± 3.8) years. All cases with new aortic disease were diagnosed by cardiac ultrasound and aortic computed tomography.Bentall's procedure were operated on 14 patients,total aortic arch replacement with elephant trunk procedure on 14 patients,aortic root and aortic arch with elephant trunk procedure on 7 patients,ascending aortic replacement on 10patients,total thoracic and abdominal aorta replacement on 2 cases.All patients were followed by clinic interview or telephone.Results Aortic dissection and aneurysmal dilatation were occurred on ascending aorta,each account for 50％,in patients with previous aortic valve replacement because of rheumatic valve disease and bicuspid aortic valve; 3 cases with Marfan syndrome occurred ascending aortic dilatation and 4 cases occurred aortic dissection.Diameter in ascending aorta increased (5.2 + 7.1)mm per year and aortic sinus (3.3 ± 3.1)mm per year.The value of ascending aortic dilatation per year in patients with rheumatic disease was higher than patients with Marfan syndrome(P ＜ 0.05).47 patients were re-operated in fuwai hospital,1 patients died in operating room because aortic dissection seriously involved right coronary artery.7 patients have renal insufficiency after operation and all were cured by hemofiltration; neurological complication occurred in 14 patients including that 7 patients stroked and 7 patients had transient brain dysfunciotn.There were no postoperative spinal cord deficits occurred.All patients were followed up,the mean follow up time were(53.49 +33.79) months.8 cases were died during follow-up and threeyear survival rate was 83％.There were no cases received operation due to aortic disease during follow-up.Conclusion Deepening the understanding of aortic valve disease combine ascending aorta changes,especially pay attention to patients with previous aortic valve replacement because of Marfan syndrome and rheumatic disease during follow-up after first operation,all efforts should decrease the occurrence of aortic adverse events in long term.

Objective To analyze risk factors for acute kidney injury after aortic arch operation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.Methods Between January 2005 and June 2011,549 cases aortic arch replacement under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest were retrospectively analyzed.According to the occurrence of acute kidney injury they were divided into two groups.Univariate and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) were used to identify the risk factors.Results AKI occurred in 102 cases (18.6％) and 27 cases(4.9％) had dialysis.Multiple logistic regression showed that body mess Index(OR =1.072,95％ CI:1.006-1.141,P =0.031),serum creatinin (OR =1.011,95％ CI:1.006-1.017,P =0.000),cardiopulmonary bypass time(OR =1.006,95 ％ CI:1.002-1.009,P =0.005) and the peak intraoperative glucose level (OR =1.007,95 ％ CI:1.002-1.011,P =0.003) were independent risk factors for AKI.Conclusion The higher BMI,serum creatinin level maybe indicate the occurrence of AKI,and AKI maybe can be reduced by controlling CPB time and intraoperative hyperglycemia.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analysis the role of intercostal artery reconstruction in spinal cord protection for patients with extent thoracoabdominal aotic aneurysm (TAAA) repair.MethodsFrom August 2003 to August 2010,extent Crawford Ⅱ TAAA repair were performed in 81 consecutive patients with mean age (39.4 ± 10.3) years and 61 (75.3％)were males.All the procedures were performed under profound hypothermia with interval cardiac arrest.Patientswere opened with a thoracoabdominal incision.Extracorporeal circulation was instituted with two arterial cannulae and a single venous cannula in the right atrium.T6 to T12 intercostal arteries and L1,2 lumbar arteries were formed to a neo-intercostal artery in place and were connected to an 8mm branch for keeping spinal cord blood perfusion.Visceral arteries were joined into a patch and anastomosed to the end of the main graft.Left renal artery was anastomosed to an 8mm branch or joined to the patch.The other 10mm branches were anastomosed to iliac arteries.ResultsWith 100％ follow-up,early mortality was 7.4％ (6/81),one patient was dead result from cerebral hemorrhage,three from renal failure,one from heart failure because of myocardial infarction and one from rupture of cliac artery dissection.Postoperative spinal cord deficits was 3.7％ (3/81),temporary paraplegia were observed in 2 patients and paraparesis occurred in 1 patient,but all of them were without bladder or rectum deficits.Neo- intercostal arteries were clogged in 12 patients within follow-up,and two of those patients with Marfan syndrome underwent pseudoaneurysm after intercostal arteries reconstruction.The mean survival time in this group is (54.22 ± 3.03 )months (95％ CI:44.37 months,59.90 months)with survival rate 92.37％ after 1 year,89.02％ after 2 years,85.54％ after 5 years.Three patient were dead with long term follow-up,one were resulted from cerebral hemorrhage at 20th month,one from rupture of ascending aorta at 23rd month and the last from rupture of aorta ulcer.ConclusionIntercostal artery reconstruction is a reliable method in spinal cord protection for patients with TAAA repair.It is a feasible method with acceptable surgical risks and satisfactory results.It can achieve long term result with less risk of spinal cord deficits and good quality of daily life.

Objective Retrospectively analyze the mid-term clinical results of single-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms with total or subtotal aortic replacement(T/STAR).This study describes our experience in this operation in single center of aortic disease at Fuwai Hospital.Methods From February 2004 to February 2011,21 patients with hypertension or Marfan syndrome underwent one-stage total or subtotal aortic replacement for aortic dissection or aortic aneurysms.16 male and 5 female,aged (34 ±9) years.Operations wore performed under circulatory arrest with profound hypothermia.Patients were opened with a mid-sternotomy and a thoracoabdominal incision.Extracorporeal circulation was instituted with two arterial cannulae and a single venous cannula in the right atrium.During cooling,the ascending aorta or aortic root was replaced.At the nasopharyngeal temperature of 20 ℃,the aortic arch was replaced with selective antegrade cerebral perfusion.Staged aortic occlusions allowed for replacement of descending thoracic and abdominal aorta.T6 to T12 intercostal arteries and L1,2 lumbar arteries were formed to a neo-intercostal artery in place and were connected to an 8 mm branch for keeping spinal cord blood perfusion.Visceral arteries were joined into a patch and anastomosed to the end of the main graft.Left renal artery was anastomosed to an 8mm branch or joined to the patch.The other 10 mm branches were anastomosed to iliac arteries.Results Early mortality was4.8％ ( 1/21 eases),the only one patient was dead result from renal failure and multiple organ failure.There were no postoperative spinal cord deficits occurred,two patients were stroked at day 5th and 7th respectively.Three patients were operated with tracheotomy because of respiratory insufficiency.Operation was undertaken on one patient with splenenctomy result of spleen rupture during first aortic aneurysms repair.All patients were follow-up,ranging from 18 to 84 months postoperatively,all 20 survivors were alive and had good functional status.One patient was reoperated with aortic valve replacement because of massive valve insufficiency after two years.Neo- intercostal arteries were clogged in 3 patients within follow-up,and two of those patients with Marfan syndrome underwent pseudoaneurysm after intercostal arteries reconstruction.Conclusion Single-stage repair of extensive aortic aneurysms with total or subtotal aortic replacement is safely and effectively.It is feasible with acceptable surgical risks and satisfactory results.It can eliminate the risk of remnant aortic aneurysm rupture in staged total aortic replacement and has satisfactory mid-term results.

Objective: To investigate the proportion of physical examinations among patients with severe mental disorders and its influencing factors in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for improving the proportion of physical examinations among patients with severe mental disorders. Methods : The epidemiological and clinical features of patients with severe mental disorders included in community management in Shaoxing City in 2022 were collected from Zhejiang Provincial Severe Mental Disorder Management Information System, including demographics, disease diagnosis and treatment, physical examination, and rescue and assistance. Factors affecting the physical examination were identified among patients with severe mental disorders using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 25 468 patients with severe mental disorders were enrolled in Shaoxing City in 2022, including 12 151 males and 13 317 females, with a male to female ratio of 0.91∶1, and the participants had a mean age of (54.34±14.71) years. Schizophrenia was the predominant type of severe mental disorders (15 419 cases, 60.54%), and 21 374 subjects participating in the physical examinations in 2022 (83.92%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=0.901, 95%CI: 0.832-0.975), urban areas (OR=0.506, 95%CI: 0.468-0.547), mental disorders due to epilepsy (OR=1.779, 95%CI: 1.104-2.866), hospitalized treatment (6 to 10 times, OR=0.523, 95%CI: 0.401-0.681; 11 times and more, OR=0.177, 95%CI: 0.108-0.288), special diseases in outpatient (OR=1.738, 95%CI: 1.597-1.891), receiving medical assistance (OR=2.851, 95%CI: 2.616-3.107), targets of the community care and assistance groups (OR=1.653, 95%CI: 1.471-1.857) and guardian (spouse, OR=1.777, 95%CI: 1.513-2.086; children, OR=1.277, 95%CI: 1.069-1.526; parents, OR=1.342, 95%CI: 1.143-1.576) were statistically associated with the proportion of physical examinations. Conclusions The proportion of health examinations was 83.92% among patients with severe mental disorders in Shaoxing City in 2022. Gender, residence, guardian, disease diagnosis, times of hospitalized treatment, medical assistance, special diseases in outpatients and target of community care and assistance groups were factors affecting health examinations among patients with severe mental disorders.

Objective: To review the experience of one-stage surgical management of thoracic aortic aneurysm associated with coronary artery disease. Methods: From June 1999 to July 2002, fifteen patients (all the male, average age 57.21 year-old, ranged 40-66 year-old) underwent thoracic aortic aneurysm repair and concomitant coronary revascularization. The diagnosis are aortic root aneurysm in 5 cases,ascending aortic aneurysm in 2,arch aortic aneurysm in 3,and aortic dissecting in 5. 14 patients received operation through midsternotomy,including ascending aorta replacement in 2, Bentall technique in 4, David technique in 1 and total arch replacements in 3 patients. Left thoracotomy and off-pump CABG was done in 1 case. Results: 1 patient died in 30 days after operation. Followed up for a mean duration of 17 months,there were no late death and no reoperation and no related events occurred. Conclusion: Thoracic aortic replacement and CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) could be done at one-stage. Concomitant coronary revascularization may aggressively obviate CAD events.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcome between ministernotomy and standard median sternotomy in aortic root replacement. Methods: A total of 60 patients underwent aortic root replacement (ARR) between July 1999 and October 2001 in Fu Wai Hospital. 15 patients who underwent ARR by ministernotomy were defined as the MINI group. The comparable group was 45 patients who underwent ARR by standard median sternotomy (STD group). Results: There was no post-operative death in each group. Early postoperative complications occurred in 3 (20.0%) of the MINI group and in 5 (11.1%) of the STD group (P= 0.661). In the MINI group, both the mean opera ting time and the cardiopulmonary bypass time were significantly longer than that in STD group (P=0.027, P=0.015). There was no significantly difference in ao rtic cross-clamping time between two groups. In the MINI group, the mean intubation time, postoperative blood transfusion amount, the mediastinal drainage and duration of hospital stay were less than that of the STD group. But, they all showed no statistical significant differences. Conclusion: Both approaches for patients undergoing AAR resulted in acceptable morbidity. AAR by ministernotomy provides a potential benefit of less trauma and reduction of blood transfusion.

180 min and arterial blood pressure instability are independent determinats for cerebral complication. Conclusion No single risk factor explained the onset of cerebral complication. Rather, a combination of factors, especially longer CPB time, postoperative arterial blood pressure instability produced the highest odds of deficit.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) in multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods MRI and 1H MRS were carried out in 29 patients with MS (MS group) and 26 matched normal control subjects(NC group). By calculating the area below peak, the N-acetylasparatate(NAA), creatine (Cr), choline (Cho) in brain were quantified. The NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios were compared between the two groups. Every patient was measured by EDSS. The correlation analysis was done between NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr ratios and EDSS scores.Results The ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr were 1.38?0.43, 1.99?0.84 in MS group, 1.89?0.49, 1.48?0.36 in NC group. NAA/Cr decreased in MS group. The difference between two groups was statistically significant ( P0.05). Conclusions The metabolic ratios measured by 1H MRS in MS patients are changed significantly. The ratio of NAA/Cr can reflect the severity of the clinic neurological disability in MS patients.
