Objective To explore the modulation of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on glucose metabolism in HepG2 cells pretreated with high insulin and high oleic acid (OA). Methods Cultured HepG2 cells induced by high insulin and oleic acid for insulin resistance and steatosis respectively, were co-cultured with different concentrations of CGA (10,20,40,80 mg/L) for 24h. The morphological changes were observed and glucose consumptions of cells were measured by glucose oxidase method. Results Compared to control group, CGA could significantly increase glucose consumption of normal HepG2 cells and the dosedependent effect was noted between 10-40 mg/L(P

0bjective To establish a standard curve method with more accuracy employed in fluorescence real-time PCR(RT-PCR)as a alternation of the general method.Methods β-actin and KLK11 plasmid DNA for quantitative standard curve were constructed in our study,and Plasmids of β-actin was employed as a internal control.After serial dilution these plasmid were used as DNA standard to obtained slope.Expression of these two genes in malignant prostate cancer cell line LNCAP were tested by real-time PCR,and we analyzed the RT-PCR results with two different methods and compared their accuracy.Results Thestandards curves made from these linear DNA standards showed good linearity (R2=0.991 and 0.992 for β-actin and KLK11 standards graphs),but also displayed a discrepancy in their PCR efficiency(β-actin 123% and KLK11 99%).There were different results after two different stand curve analytical method:the expression of KLK11 mRNA in LNCAP was downregulated in general standard curve method.In the new analytical method,howerer,KLK11 upregnlated for 4.46-fold.And there was a significant difference between aplification efficiency of targt gene and internal control gene(t=4.829,P<0.05).Conclusions Compared with general standard curve method,the new advanced standard curve method described here avoids an error which considers there is identical amplification efficiency between target gene and internal reference gene.It is considered to be a more correct analytical method in fluorescence real-time PCR.

Objective The purpose of this sturdy was to conduct a meta-analysis of published randomised controlled trials(RCT) comparing the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) versus surgery alone(SA) in all patients with cardiac surgery.Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases, CNKI, CBM disc and VIP datebases were searched, and study eligibility and conducted data abstraction were determined independently and in duplicate.Literature searches from database establishment to November 2014.The heterogeneity and data were analyzed by the software of Rev Man 5.2.Results Of 564 studies identified, 8 studies met eligibility criteria, and included a total of 591 patients.In efficacy, The number of patients in sinus rhythm(SR) was signifcantly improved in RFA group compared to SA group at discharge(OR =10.59;95％ CI: 3.81-29.45).This effect on SR remained at all follow-up periods until ＞ 1 year.In safety, there was no significant difference in the incidence of hospital mortality(OR =1.17;95％ CI: 0.41-3.35) and mortality rate in follow up period(OR =0.77;95％ CI: 0.35-1.69) between RFA group and SA group.Similar results were shown in the incidence of permanent pacemaker(OR =0.65;95 ％ CI: 0.28-1.52;P =0.32) , thromboembolic events (OR =1.61;95 ％ CI: 0.54-4.84;P =0.40), postoperative re-intervention for bleeding (OR =0.45;95 ％ CI: 0.12-1.70;P =0.24).Conclusion The results of the current randomized trials demonstrates that concomitant surgical radiofrequency ablation and cardiac surgery is safe and effective at restoring sinus rhythm.

Objective: To summarize the major post-operative complication of modiifed extended Morrow procedure in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and to explore the major factors affecting its prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 139 consecutive HOCM patients who received the procedure by same surgeon in our hospital from 2012-06 to 2014-07. There were 87 male and 52 female patients with the age of (10-67) years, body weightof (26-105) kg and pre-operative left ventricular outlfow tract peak gradient (LVOTPG) of (84.48 ± 44.75) mmHg. Concomitant operations were performed with known cardiac disease as necessary. Pre- and post-operative echocardiography, ECG and chest X-ray were examined to assess the adequacy of resection and mitral valve structure and function. Results: There was no peri-operative death. 73/139 (53%) patients received simple modiifed expanded Morrow procedure, the other 66 (47%) patients received concomitant surgery including 21 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting, 15 mitral valve plasty, 7 mitral valve replacement, 10 tricuspid valve plasty, 2 aortic valve replacement, 3 modiifed Maze procedure, 2 unblock of right ventricular outlfow tract, 2 sub aortic membrane resection, 1 ventricular aneurysm resection. The mechanical ventilation time was (24.05±36.74) hours, post-operative ICU and in-hospital stays were (2.85±3.18) days and (10.11±4.57) days; the complications included arrhythmia in 108 cases, pleural effusion in 25 cases, secondary intubation in 1 case, tracheotomy in 1 case, hemoifltration in 1 case, intra-aortic balloon pump in 1 case, back into ICU in 3 cases; no pneumothorax, secondary thoracotomy/operation. The post-operative left atrial diameter, LVOTPG, inter-ventricular septal thickness and LVEF were all decreased; mitral valve closed well or with mild regurgitation, systolic anterior motion (SAM) basically disappeared. The major factors for delayed ICU stay included age≥55 years, female, CPB time≥120 min, AOC time≥90 min, the patients combining with arrhythmia and right ventricular dysfunction. Late follow-up presented that the patients were almost without the symptoms, NYHA classiifcation at (I-II), no late death, complication or re-operation. Conclusion: Modified expand Morrow procedure has good surgical and short/late post-operative effects, concomitant operation does not increase the complication and mortality; correction of arrhythmia and improving right ventricular function at peri-operative period are important for treating the relevant patients.

Objective To summarize 500 cases of surgical experience in restoration of adult congenital heart disease ( ACHD) treatment and early postoperative.Methods During January 2012 to December 2014 in Fuwai Hospital, 500 cases of ACHD treated by operation were chosen to collect the clinical data .We divided the groups according to whether the case was a complex malformation and whether the case had an ICU retention time is more than the 5 days.Results The average age was 35, the average weight was 59 kg.The operation average cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) time was 102min.The average ICU treatment time was 2 days, the average duration of mechanical ventilation was 23 hours, 3 early deaths occurred.The complex malformation group had younger age and less weight than the simple malformation group , the complex malformation group had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamping time, mechanical ventilation time and ICU treatment time, had higher rate of complication and blood transfusion peri-operative period than the simple malformation group.(P<0.05) The group of ICU retention time less than 5 days had higher rate of the male proportion, had younger age and less weigh, had longer time of cardiopulmonary bypass time , mechanical ventilation time and ICU treatment time , had higher rate of complication and blood transfusion peri-operative period than the control group(P <0.01).Conclusion Although ACHD patients have long medical history and complicated pathological and physiological changes , when they get proper surgical operation and periopera-tive treatment, they should obtain satisfied effect.Professional medical team or organization service for the ACHD patient is very important and urgent to build.

Objective To study the risk factors and outcome of symptomatic BAAS.Methods Eighty symptomatic BAAS patients served as a BAAS group and 80 symptomatic anterior circulation stroke (ACS) patients served as a ACS group in this study.The risk factors for symptomatic BAAS were compared.The symptomatic BAAS patients were further divided into mild-moderate stenosis group (n =43) and severe stenosis group (n=37),progressive stenosis group (n =34) and non-gressive group (n=46),survival group (n=42) and death group (n=38) respectively.The relationship between risk factors and outcome of symptomatic BAAS was analyzed.Results The rate of male patients and the incidence of hypertention were significantly higher in BAAS group than in ACS group (75.0％ vs 57.5％,80.0％ vs 66.3％,P＜0.01).The history of ischemic stroke and smoking was related with the severity of BAAS (P＜0.05).Premonitory symptoms were re lated with the progression of BAAS (P＜0.01).Pulmonary infection and tracheal intubation or tracheotomy were related with the outcome of BAAS (P＜0.01).Conclusion Male gender,hypertension,and history of ischemic stroke and smoking are the independent risk factors for symptomatic BAAS which is less likely to progress in patients with premonitory symptoms.Pulmonary infection and tracheal intubation or tracheotomy are the independent risk factors.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a malignant hematologic tumor, which is currently difficult to cure. The theory of Xuanfu was proposed by Liu Wansu, which is unique in the clinical evidence of Chinese medicine and is less frequently applied to hematological diseases. The application of Xuanfu theory in myelodysplastic syndrome provides new ideas for the treatment of the disease. The abnormal flow of Qi, blood and fluids caused by the occlusion of the Xuanfu is the cause of toxic stasis obstruction, which is the pathogenesis of toxic stasis obstruction. Thus, the method of dispersion of Bone from Xuanfu, the external treatment of Xuanfu, and regulation of liver qi and Xuanfu help to return to normal of opening and closing function of Xuanfu, and release toxic stasis. In this paper, we analyzed the evidence of toxin-stasis obstruction in myelodysplastic syndrome from the theory of Xuanfu, aiming to provide a feasible theoretical basis for clinical treatment of the disease.

Objective    To evaluate the clinical outcomes of  pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after re-PVR surgery. Methods    PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases, CNKI, CBM disc and VIP datebases were searched, and study eligibility and data abstraction were determined independently and in duplicate. Literature searches from database establishment to December 2018. The heterogeneity and data were analyzed by the software of Stata 11.0. Results    Of 4 831 studies identified, 26 studies met eligibility criteria, and invovled with a total of 3 613 patients. The combined 30-day mortality for PVR was 2.2% (95% CI 1.5%-3.1%) and follow-up mortality was 3.4% (95% CI 2.4%-4.9%), re-PVR rate was 6.8% (95% CI 5.1%-9.2%), and the rate of intervention was 11.4% (95% CI 8.0%-16.4%). Subgroup analysis showed that the patient's age range may be a heterogeneous source of mortality during the follow-up period, and there was no statistical heterogeneity for adult patients (P=0.63, I2=0%), with a lower incidence than those including adolescents patients. The type of valve was likely to be a source of retrospective PVR. There was no statistical heterogeneity in bioprosthetic valves and allograft lobes (P=0.24, I2=25%). And the incidence of re-PVR was lower than that of the mechanical valve patients. Heart function classification (NYHA) of patients with TOF after PVR was statistically improved (P<0.05). Electrocardiogram QRS change was not statistically differently (P>0.05). Postoperative MRI findings showed a decrease in RVEDV, an increase in RVEF, a decrease in RV/LV ratio, and a decrease in pulmonary valve (all P<0.05). Funnel map monitoring, Begg test and Egger's test both indicated that there was no publication bias. Conclusions    According to the results of the analysis, PVR after TOF surgery is a more mature surgery, the clinical effect was significant, with lower early and long-term mortality. The long-term mortality rate of adolescent patients undergoing PVR is higher than that of adult patients. Long-term outocme of re-PVR or re-intervention is still the main problem affecting the effect of the operation. Indications for surgery and choice of valve need further investigation.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been proven to reduce surgical injuries, promote recovery, and improve postoperative outcomes in different types of surgeries. A core principle of ERAS is to provide programmatic evidence-based perioperative interventions. An international multidisciplinary expert group provided a statement on clinical practice in each thematic area of ERAS by obtaining a list of potential ERAS elements, and reviewing literature. The version 2024 of "Perioperative care in cardiac surgery: A joint consensus statement by the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Cardiac Society, ERAS International Society, and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)" is developed from the version 2019 of "Guidelines for perioperative care in cardiac surgery: Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Society recommendations". The consensus statement group was composed of multidisciplinary experts such as cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians, and nurses, based on personal ERAS knowledge and experience. This article interprets the changes and new statements in the 2024 consensus, which can provide a foundation for the best perioperative practices for adult cardiac surgery patients.

Objective    To explore the association between preoperative, perioperative parameters, especially estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after modified extended Morrow procedure. Methods    A total of 300 hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients who underwent modified extended Morrow procedure in our hospital from January 2012 to March 2018 were collected. There were 197 (65.67%) males and 103 (34.33%) females with an average age of 43.54±13.81 years. Heart rhythm was continuously monitored during hospitalization. The patients were divided into a POAF group (n=68) and a non-POAF group (n=232). The general data, perioperative parameters and echocardiographic results were collected by consulting medical records for statistical analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for POAF. Results    Overall incidence of POAF during hospitalization was 22.67% (68/300). Compared with patients without POAF, patients with POAF were older, had higher incidence of chest pain and syncope, lower level of preoperative eGFR, higher body mass index and heart function classification (NYHA), larger preoperative left atrial diameter and left ventricular end diastolic diameter, and longer ventilator-assisted time, ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay. Age, heart function classification (NYHA)≥Ⅲ, hypertension, syncope history and eGFR were independent risk factors for POAF. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of eGFR was 0.731 (95%CI 0.677-0.780, P<0.001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 82.4% and 57.8%, respectively. Conclusion    Increased age, high preoperative heart function classification (NYHA), hypertension, preoperative syncope history and decreased eGFR are independent risk factors for POAF in HOCM patients who underwent surgical septal myectomy. Preoperative decreased eGFR can moderately predict the occurrence of POAF after modified extended Morrow procedure.
