Objective To investigate the effect of selective intracoronary stenting to the improvement of myocardial viability and left ventricular function aftcr Q-ware acute myocardial infarction. Methods 32 patients with initial Q-wave myocardial infarction underwent isoket-infusion 99Tc mMIBI SPECT imaging and blood pool radionuclide ventriculography before and after selective intracoronary Stenting. Results (1) The abnormal radioactive segments were 212 vs 108 before and after intracoronary stenting. The mean scores of abnormal segments were 16.1?3.9 vs 8.3?1.4 (P

Objective To evaluate and compare the therapetic effectiveness among intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis, thrombolysis plus delayed intracoronary stenting and delayed intracoronary stenting for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using 99 [KG*2/3]Tcm-MIBI myocardial SPECT imaging. Methods Ninty-five cases of AMI were divided into three groups which were the thrombolysis group (n=31), thrombolysis plus delayed stenting group (n=30) and the delayed stenting group (n=34). 99 [KG*2/3]Tcm-MIBI myocardial SPECT imaging was performed 3 weeks after thrombolysis therapy or 1 week after intracoronary stenting.The left ventricular myocardium was divided into 16 segments for evaluation. The score of myocardial 99 [KG*2/3]Tcm-MIBI uptake were analyzed semiquantitatively and the total score of myocardial 99 [KG*2/3]Tcm-MIBI uptake was calculated. Results The scores of the 3 groups were 28.4?7.5, 19.4?6.2 and 27.3?7.2 respectively. Significant difference was shown in the thrombolysis plus delayed stenting group compared with the thrombolysis and the delayed stenting group (t=7.2, t=6.9, P0.05). Conclusion 99 Tcm-MIBI myocardial SPECT imaging has been proved to be an objective parameter for evaluating the therapeutic effectiveness of the various treatments of AMI. Thrombolysis plus delayed stenting seems to be more effective than thrombolysis and delayed stenting. On the other hand, thrombolysis and delayed stenting show similar effect in the treatment of AMI in the study.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder for perimembranous ventricular septal defect with pseudoaneurysm. Methods During the period from March 2008 to March 2013 at Shanghai Yodak Cardiothoracic Hospital , interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder was carried out in a total of 96 patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicated by pseudoaneurysm. The patient’s age varied from 2 years to 36 years. Before the procedure, routine left ventricular angiography and ascending aortic angiography were carried out. Left ventricular angiography and ascending aortic angiography as well as the transthoracic ultrasonography were performed immediately after the procedure to observe the therapeutic results. Follow-up checkups with transthoracic ultrasonography, EKG and chest X-ray film were conducted at one week as well as at one, 3, 6 and 9 months after the surgery were conducted. Results Successful occlusion of VSD was obtained in 93 patients, with a success rate of 96.8% (93/96). After the surgery, small amount of shunt flow was detected in 8 patients, which disappeared within 48 hours in 7 patients, and in the other one the shunt flow disappeared one month later which was confirmed by follow-up examination. After the treatment, complete right bundle branch block occurred in 4 patients, complete left bundle branch block in 5 patients, and transientⅢdegree atrioventricular block in one patient. The conduction block disappeared at the time of discharge in all patients. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) decreased from preoperative (47.5 ± 5.2) mm to postoperative (45.2 ± 5.1) mm, the difference was statistically significant (t = 18.33, P < 0.01). During the follow-up period lasting for 9 months, no delayed cardiac arrhythmia, valve damage or sudden death occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with pseudoaneurysm, interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder is safe and effective with excellent mid-term effect. Based on the imaging findings, including the location, shape, ruptured orifice, number of the perimembranous pseudoaneurysm as well as the distance between the pseudoaneurysm and the aortic valve, to select suitable occluder and proper occlusion site is the key to ensure a successful surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application of double pedicle blood supply pectoralis major myocutaneous flap in reconstruction of laryngeal and hypo pharyngeal defect after carcinoma resection. METHOD: All the patients received initial treatment. Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was Applied in one-stage reconstruction in 22 cases of laryngocarcinoma and hypopharyngeal carcinoma with post-operation defect. During operation, pectoral branches of thoracoacromial vessels and branch of lateral thoracic vessels were reserved and prepared to be double pedicle vessel fascia bundle without muscle at the beginning part, rearched to defect area through subclavian tunnel. After operation, it is necessary to closely observe the subcutaneous swelling, quantity and color of the drain and others of neck surgery area to exclude the occurrence of surgical hematoma. When there is suspicion, do timely exploration. RESULT: Pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps of 22 patients were all survived. Pharyngeal fistula occurred in 2 cases and was cured by change of dressing. Twenty-one cases received radiotherapy after operation without secondary flap necrosis. After follow-up of 6 months to 24 months, one case of roll repairment of circumferential defect in cervical esophagus,found to have anastomotic stenosis 8 months after radiotherapy and then underwent gastrostomy treatment,the other 21 cases showed good recovery of swallowing function. Among 13 cases with laryngeal function reserved, only 1 case wearing tube and the extubation rate was 92.3% without communication barriers, no patient died in the short follow-up period. CONCLUSION For double pedicle blood supply pectoralis major nyocutaneous flap, blood supply are fully guaranteed and does not require complicated equipment to observe and monitor the flap blood supply after operation, it is important to exclude factors that may lead to muscular flap necrosis to ensure the survival of pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.

Objective To investigate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in tracking magnetically labeled mesenchymal stem cells (MR-MSCs) in a swine myocardial infarction (MI) model.Methods Adult Chinese mini-pigs (n = 6) were subjected to open-chest experimental MI operation.Their antegeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) was cultured and doubly labeled with ferumoxides and DAPL On the 14 th day after MSCs transplantation, the size and location of the myocardial infarction were assessed by using delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI). Then the labeled MSCs were injected intramyocardially into peri-infarct zone and normal myocardium. At 24 hrs and 3 weeks after injection, the contrast and the volume of the MR-MSCs hypointense lesion from the MR images were acquired, and the contrast was determined using the difference in signal intensity between the hypointense and normal myocardium divided by signal intensity of the normal region.After humane euthanasia, the heart was excised and histology corresponding to MRI slices that demonstrated MR-MSCs lesions was performed.Repeated-measures ANOVA and a paired t test were used for comparison of the contrast and the volume of the MR-MSCs hypointense lesion at different time points. Comparisons between independent groups were performed with the standard Student t test.Results The labeling efficiency of ferumoxides and DAPI was 100% . On the 14 th day after the MI operation, the average percentage of infracted myocardial area was (33.6±8.9)% .Twenty- four hours after MSCs transplantation, MSCs injection sites appeared as ovoid hypointensive lesions with sharp border on T2 * images. At 24 h after injection, the signal contrast [(67.00±5.48)% vs (61.92 ±7.76)%,t = 1.65,P =0.1158] and the size [(0.56 ±0.24) cm2 vs (0.52 ± 0.25 ) cm2, t = 0.39, P = 0.7044 ] of the lesions showed no statistical difference between the peri infarct zone and the normal myocardium.At 3 weeks after injection, the signal contrast decreased and the size diminished both in the peri-infarct zone and in the normal myocardium. Moreover, the contrast of the lesions in peri-infarct zone decreased more significantly than that in normal myocardium [(26.88 +7.27)%vs (15.00 :t:4.51)%, F =20.08, P =0.0003].Post mortem analysis found the fluorescontly labeled MSCs demonstrated on histological sections.There were much more dense fluorescently labled MSCs per high power fields at injection sites of normal myocardium than at injection sites of peri-infarct zone [ (106 ±25 )/HPF vs ( 143 ± 31 )/HPF, t = - 2.47, P = 0.0293 ].In MSCs injection sites of the peri-infarct zone,the capillary density was significantly higher than that in control sites [ (13.4 ± 4.0 )/HPF vs (9.4 ±3.1 )/HPF, t = 2.49, P = 0.0229].At 3 weeks after injection, ferumoxide was contained within partial original MSCs.Conclusion Magnetic resonance imaging of MSCs is a feasible method for the in vivo tracking of transplanted stem cells and could reflect the tendency of the local stem cell quantity, but there still has limitation for the semi-quantitation of the transplanted stem cells.

In this study, 1 065 infants and young children aged 24 months below in ethnic minorities gathering in poor rural areas in poor rural areas of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province and Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province were investigated for their anemia status from October to November 2014, and the association between anemia and the utilization of maternal and child health services was analyzed. The prevalence of anemia in this area was 52.68%(561/1 065). After the adjustment of socio-demographic characteristics of mothers and infants, compared with infants aged 2-5 months, Han ethnic group, and infants whose mother was not anemic, the OR(95%CI) values of infant anemia for infants aged 6-12 months, 13-8 months, 19-24 months, ethnic minorities group, and infants whose mother was anemic were 11.65 (7.09-19.14), 9.91 (5.99-16.38), 5.87 (3.39-10.16), 1.55 (1.10-2.18) and 1.52 (1.14-2.04), respectively; Compared with infants whose child examination times not up to standard, and who were not only non-hospital delivered but also received inadequate number of inoculation, the OR (95%CI) values of infant anemia for infants whose child examination times up to standard, and who were not only hospital delivered but also received adequate number of inoculation were 0.60 (0.38-0.94) and 0.71 (0.52-0.98), respectively. The infants anemia is associated with the utilization of maternal and child health services.
