Objective To summarize the experiences of reoperations on Ebstein's anomaly. Methods Clinical data of 17 cases of Ebstein's anomaly (6 males and 11 females, aged from 3 to 54 years old, averaged 23) were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients felt short breath and palpitation after exertion, and cyanosis was found in two patients. In the first operation, downwards displaced tricuspid valve leaflet was suspended and atrialized right ventricle was replicated in 14 cases, tricuspid anuloplasty and atrial septal defect were repaired in 2 cases, and tricuspid valve was replaced in 1 case. The interval time between two operations was 1-20 years in an average of 8 years. Before second operation, the cardiac function was NYHA Ⅱ in 6 cases, NYHA Ⅲ in 11 cases. Eight cases received Ebstein's anomaly anatomic correction, including transplanting downward displaced tricuspid valve and excising atrialized right ventricle. Seven cases received tricuspid valve replacement. Two cases received tricuspid valveplasty. All of operations were performed on arrested heart with moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. The time of cardiopulmonary bypass was 70-287 (89.3?11.1)min, the time of aorta clamping was 70-287 (64.0?8.6)min. The transesophageal echocardiography was routinely performed before the operations and after the hearts rebeating. Results No case died in hospital, and all the patients were followed up for 1-3 years. Transesophageal echocardiography showed the tricuspid valve was closed well (non-reflow in 9 cases, mild reflow in 1 case) in 10 cases which received Ebstein's anatomic correction and tricuspid valveplasty. The cardiac function states of patients were significantly improved (NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ). Conclusion Most of patients with reoperations on Ebstein's anomaly can received anatomic correction. Tricuspid valve replacement is available if the pathology of tricuspid valve is severe.

Objective To observe the protective effect of dexamethasone, the inhibitor of nuclear factor-Kappa B, on the ischemia-perfusion injury of rat lung during the period of lung preservation. Methods Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the trial group. The harvested lung blocks were flushed with and stored in the low-potassium-dextran (LPD) solution in control group, but in the trail group LPD containing dexamethasone solution was used. The lungs were stored at 4 ℃ for 16 h in both groups. The isolated rat lung reperfusion models were established and the donor lungs were perfused for 1 h. PaO_2 and PawP were measured at every 15 min intervals during reperfusion. After reperfusion, the lung tissue wet-to-dry (W/D) ratio and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were obtained. The protein and mRNA expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), nuclear factor-Kappa B (NF-?B) was also detected by using immunohistochemistry and semi-quantitative RT-PCR at the end of reperfusion. Results The levels of decreased PaO_2 and increased PawP in trail group were lower than in control group at the every interval time in the samples obtained 15 min after reperfusion (P

Objective To evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition (EN) on the pancreatic exocrine secretion in dogs with acute necrotizing panereatitis (ANP). Methods ANP model was induced by injection of mixtured solution of 5% sodium tanrecholate and trypsin into the pancreatic duct. Thirty dogs were randomly divided into total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group (n=5), duodenal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (DP) group (n=5), duodenal Nutrison MuhiFibre (DN) group (n=5), jejunal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (JP) group (n=5), jejunal Nutrison MuhiFibre (JN) group (n=5). The dogs were treated by either TPN or EN 24 hours after ANP model induction and the nutrition support lasted for 5 days. Serum amylase, LDH, lipase, secretin (SEC), cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin were measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 d. Pancreatic juice was collected for 3 hours after TPN or EN started, and the amount of pancreatic juice and levels of proteinase, amylase, lipase, HCO3-, K+, Cl-, Na+ were determined. Dogs in each group were sacrificed at day 7. Histological and ultra-structure changes of the pancreatic tissues were evaluated pathologically. Results The levels of serum amylase, LDH, lipase, CCK, amount of pancreatic secretion and K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The levels of plasma SEC and gastrin, HCO3-, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the duodenal nutrition groups were significantly higher than those in TPN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the jejunal nutrition group were significantly lower than those in the duodenal group (P<0.05) and higher than those in the TPN group without significant difference. Among the 2 jejunal nutrition groups, the levels of plasma gastrin, HCO3- in pancreatic juice, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the JP group were significantly higher than those in the JN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the DP group were significantly lower than those in the DN group (P<0.05). The amount of pancreatic secretion, HCO3-,K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The pathological changes were similar among these groups, and the extent of pathological changes was relatively better in the JP group. The amount and density of intracytoplasm zymogen granules of pancreatic acinar cell were not significantly lower than those in the TPN group. Conclusions The delivery of nutrients to the proximal jejunum with elemental low-fat diets did not increase the pancreatic exacrine activity.
