Objective To discuss the clinical epidemiology features and change trend of aortic dissection (AD) in Henan Province.Methods Retrospective analysis of consecutive 906 patients with AD over 10 years in Henan Provincial People' s Hospital,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Henan Provincial Chest Hospital.Hospital records and prognosis were compared between two five-year periods.Results 906 cases with AD were hospitalized during the past 10years.The mean age was (50.2 ± 9.8) years.The male/female ratio was 3.49 ∶ 1.Hypertension was present in 60.3 ％ of all patients.Heavy smoking history was elicited in 32.2％ of all patients.Type A dissection were identified in 57.8％ of all the cases,and type B in 42.2％.In-hospital mortality of acute type A dissection was 21.8％,acute type B dissection 6.8％.In two five-year periods,the total number of cases increased by 216％,among which type A was the fastest,increased by 294％,Changes of mean age and male/female ratio were not significant.For acute AD,changes of prognosis in one year improved,and reach statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion This study provides insight into current regional profiles of AD.The number of hospitalized patients with AD is increasing dramatically.The mean age of the first-attack is much younger and the male ration is much higher than that reported by other regional researchers.These data support the urgent need for further improvement in prevention and treatment of AD.

Objective To isolate,purify and identify pancreatic duct derived stem cells (PDSCs) from the pancreatic duct of rats,and culture in the three-dimension cell culture system.Methods Adult male Wistar rats underwent perfusion with collagenase V via the pancreatic duct,then the pancreas was surgically procured,digested,followed by discontinued density gradient centrifuge to isolate ductal tissue from islets.The acinar and ductal tissue was cultivated in serumcontaining medium in the three-dimension cell culture to obtain adherent cells,as PDSCs,which were expanded by consecutive passages.The morphology and characterization of PDSCs on phenotype were examined.Results PDSCs could be obtained through in situ collagenase V digestion,discontinued density gradient centrifuge,and culture in the three dimension cell culture system.Morphologically,PDSCs had remarkable size,most with one nucleus.PDSCs grew in many layers in three-dimension cell culture system.PDSCs was revealed to express CD29,CD73,CD90,CD105,but not CD14,CD19,CD34,CD45 by FACS,in agreement with MSCs.Conclusion PDSCs of rats could be obtained through in situ collagenase V digestion,discontinued density gradient centrifuge,and culture in the three-dimension cell culture system.PDSCs lines were successfully established.

Objective To analyze the incidence rate and the perioperative risk factors associated with delirium after cardiac surgery.Methods We enrolled 622 patients between October 2014 and March 2015 in the department of cardiovascular surgery in Henan Provincial People's Hospital who were allocated to group PD and non-PD according to the Confusion Assessment Method(CAM) after the cardiac operation.Baseline demographics,perioperative data,and postoperative outcomes of these patients were recorded and analyzed via chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the risk factors of postoperative delirium.Results Postoperative delirium was detected in 102 patients according to CAM criteria.The incidence was 16.4％.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR =3.456;95％ CI:2.431-4.569),preoperative atrial fibrillation (OR =1.987;95％ CI:3.562-7.862),prolonged surgery duration (OR =1.246;95％ CI:3.164-5.982),postoperative pain (OR =5.356;95 ％ CI:1.386-9.374)were independently associated with postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery.Conclusions Delirium is a frequent complication,age,preoperative atrial fibrillation,prolonged surgery duration,postoperative pain are independent risk factors for delirium following cardiac surgery.Management according to potential risk factors may be associated with preferable therapeutic outcomes.

Background and purpose:Diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) can be used for MR imaging systemic examination, especially the lymph node and bone diseases can be clear, and the imaging result is similar with PET. The aim of this study was to compare the value of clinical application in the diagnosis of malignant metastatic osteopathic between DWIBS and bone scintigraphy mapping. Methods:Thirty-six specimens conifrmed with malignant tumors by the pathology of operation or biopsy underwent both DWIBS imaging and bone scintigraphy mapping, chi-square test was used for comparing the detection results of bone metastasis by this two imaging methods. Results:Thirty (165 positions in all) of 36 malignant tumor patients were conifrmed as having bone metastasis, compared that 26 patients (143 positions) with DWIBS method and 23 patients (132 positions) with bone scintigraphy mapping were detected, but there was no statistical signiifcance between this two imaging methods (χ2=1.002, P=0.506). The sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy of the detection rate of bone metastasis were similar in DWIBS and bone scintigraphy, with 86.7%, 96.3%, 86.1%and 76.7%, 88.5%, 72.2%, respectively;but the speciifcity and negative predictive value (NPV) in DWIBS (83.3%and 55.6%) was higher than that of in bone scintigraphy (50.0%and 30.0%). The detection rates of different bone metastasis with DWIBS and bone scintigraphy were 86.7%(143/165) and 80.0%(132/165), and it was no signiifcant difference (χ2=2.640, P=0.104);DWIBS method was better than bone scintigraphy in the detection of osseous metastasis on pelvis and limbs long bone, and there was different signiifcant (χ2=6.783 and 7.636, P=0.023 and 0.016). Conclusion:DWIBS could detect bone metastatic lesions effectively, and there is ifne consistency with bone scintigraphy. Therefore, DWIBS is to hope to be extended and applicated clinically.

The ductus arteriosus is an important lifeline for fetal circulation.Prostaglandins（PG）are involved in the dilatation of the ductus arteriosus during fetal life as well as the anatomical remodeling of the ductus arteriosus after birth. Patent ductus arteriosus（PDA）is a common congenital heart disease in preterm infants.The treatment by inhibiting local PG synthesis is currently the principal means of clinical practice，with indomethacin and ibuprofen being the most commonly applied drugs，but the prevalence of adverse effects has led scholars to focus on other targets of the PG synthesis pathway. This paper reviews relevant medications and combines the physiological effects of PG on ductus arteriosus in different stages to summarize the current drugs of treating PDA and their related research advances，with the aim to provide new strategies for the treatment and future research of this condition.

Objective:To summarize the prenatal ultrasonographic features and prognosis of fetal umbilical-portal-systemic venous shunt (UPSVS).Methods:This retrospective study retrieved the records of 14 fetuses with UPSVS from Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from January 2018 to September 2020, to describe their ultrasonographic features, concomitant malformations, chromosomal examination results, and follow-up.Results:All the 14 cases were classified into three types: Type Ⅰ ( n=2), the umbilical vein directly connected to the systemic venous detouring around the liver; Type Ⅱ ( n=2), the umbilical vein connected to the distal inferior vena cava instead of the left atrium after entering the liver through the ductus venosus; and Type Ⅲa ( n=10), those with an intrahepatic shunt, between the intrahepatic portal venous system and the hepatic vein. Of the 14 fetuses, 11 had normal chromosome test results, including four had serum screening of Down syndrome in the first trimester, four had non-invasive prenatal testing, and three had prenatal genetic diagnosis. Six cases were complicated by other system malformations. Fetal growth restriction and heart failure were found in four cases each. Four pregnancies were terminated due to other anomalies and the other 10 ended in live births with good prognosis for the fetuses. Conclusions:Special attention should be paid to the fetal umbilical- portal-venous system when there are unexplained fetal growth restriction, fetal heart failure, or abnormal blood vessels in the abdominal section of the fetus. UPSVS has typically ultrasonographic features, which can prenatally determine the shunt type and the integrity of the intrahepatic portal venous system. A full assessment of the intrauterine fetal condition and other malformations are of great value in prognostic counseling.

Objective To investigate the effect of fetoscopic photocoagulation of communicating placental vessels in twin-twin transfusion syndrome(TTTS)(selective or non-selective) on the perinatal outcomes.Methods Six cases of TTTS admitted in our department from Dec.2006 to Jun.2008 underwent fetoscopic photocoagulation of communicating vessels.Under direct real-time sonographic guidance,a 3-mm-diameter fetoscope was percutaneously inserted through the maternal abdominal wall into the amniotic cavity of the recipient twin.A combination of ultrasonographic and fetoscopic vision was used to identify the crossing vessels which were systematically coagulated using Nd:YAG laser fiber or bipolar electrocoagulation.Results All the 6 mothers tolerated the procedure without major complications.Two fetal survival rate was 33.33%.Conclusion Fetoscopic photocoagulation of communicating placental vessels in TTTS can effectively improve perinatal outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the curative effect of transfer of free anteriolateral thigh flap (ALTF) with partial iliotibial tract on reconstruction of composite tissue defects in dorsal wrist/hand.Methods:Ten patients who were admitted in the Department of Hand Surgery of Yongkang Orthopaedic Hospital from March 2018 to August 2022 were entered in the study due to extensive composite tissue defects in dorsal wrists and hands. The patients were 24-48 (37 in average) years old. All patients had tendon defects in 3 or more digits with 35 digits in total. The length of the tendon defects were 5.0-11.0 cm in various digits. The soft tissue defects ranged from 6.0 cm×8.0 cm to 11.0 cm×21.0 cm in size. Six patients had defects accompanied with metacarpal and phalangeal bone fracture and joint capsule. In emergency surgery, all patients received thorough debridement and VSD coverage after internal fixation for combined fractures. At 3-5 days after the primary surgery, free ALTF transfer with partial iliotibial tract was employed to reconstruct the defects on dorsal wrists and hands and the digit extension function. The size of flap was 6.0 cm×9.0 cm-9.0 cm×17.0 cm, and the rest of defect wound was covered by skin graft. All the donor sites were sutured directly, except 1 that received abdominal skin graft. Patients had the follow-ups in outpatient clinics, or via telephone or Wechat, to observe the sensation and appearance of the flap, and the healing of the donor site. The recovery of the extension function of the hand was evaluated according to the totle active motion (TAM) system.Results:All flaps survived except one that had vascular compromise after the surgery and it survived after two explorations and a vascular transfer. Postoperative follow-ups lasted for 6 to 24 months, with 13 months in average. At the last follow-up, a all the flaps were found soft in texture and slightly swollen in appearance. There was no obvious pigmentation or rupture of skin and extensor tendon. Sensory recovery achieved to S 2 in 7 patients and S 3 in 3 patients. The hand function was evaluated according to TAM system and rated as excellent for 3 digits, good for 18 digits, fair for 9 digits and poor for 5 digits. There were linear scars in the donor sites. Conclusion:Free ALTF transfer with partial iliotibial tract in the reconstruction of composite tissue defect of dorsal wrists and hands can not only reconstruct the wound surface, but also the extension of digits, which cuts short the course of treatment.
