Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of bochdalek′s hernia in children, especially to introduce the methods of repairing the defect of diaphragm using rib-flap and terylene fabric.Methods The diagnosis, misdiagnosis and methods of repairing of diaphragm in 10 cases of bochdalek′s hernia were retrospectively reviewed, and the findings of reconstruction of diaphragm in 2 cases of defect of diaphragm were analyzed.Results All of the 12 cases were misdiagnosed for the first time. Ten cases were cured through abdominal surgery and 2 cases were cured through reconstruction of diaphragm.Conclusions Bochdalek′s hernias in children are lack of specific clinical manifestation and often misdiagnosed before operation. Early surgical treatment is necessary once the diagnosis is established, and the defect of diaphragm should be reconstructed. The repairment of diaphragm using rib-flap and terylene fabric is a practical methods.

Objectives To assess the effects of long-term angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor treatment with captopril on cardiac function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods One hundred and one patients with AMIwho were admitted to hospital within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms with no cardiogenic shock were randomly allocated to captopril (n=52; group Ⅰ) and conventional treatment (n=49; group Ⅱ). Left ventricular (LV) systolic performance and diastolic transmitral flow velocity profiles were assessed by Doppler echocardiography at admission (1.2±1.1 days), before discharge (27±10 days) and during follow-up (363±31 days).Results At one year follow-up, in group Ⅰ LV end-diastolic volume decreased, and ejection fraction increased due to a disproportionate decrease in end-systolic volume. The incidence of cardiac dilatation was reduced. LV early diastolic filling velocity (E)increased and late atrial filling velocity (A) decreased, resulting in an elevation of E/A ratio.However, the mean values of LV systolic and diastolic functional parameters were unchanged in group Ⅱ.Conclusions Long-term treatment with captopril exerts a beneficial effect on cardiac protection for patients with AMI.
