Objective To clone and express the valuable Clonorchis sinensis antigen molecules which can be applied to the diagnosis of clonorchiasis. Methods Based on the sequences (Genbank) No. AF271091 (CysA) and No.AF093242 (CysB), primers were designed to amplify the two C. sinensis cysteine proteinase genes and expressed in E.cloi. The expressed proteins were purified by affinity chromatography and then tested for their immunological characters.Results The two genes were successfully cloned and expressed. Western blot showed that CysB had strong reaction with clonorchiasis sera and very weak reaction with schistosomiasis sera, while CysA showed no reactivity with the probed sera. Immunohistochemistry showed that both proteins were mainly located in adult worm intestines and the intrauterine eggs.Conclusions The results suggested that, of the two expressed C. sinensis proteins, CysB had good antigenic reactivity against sera from patients. It is a potential candidate of diagnostic antigens for clonorchiasis.

Objective:Postoperative venous obstruction (PVO) is the most severe complication of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), and facing challenging re-intervention with high mortality. We aimed to review and analyze the follow-up and management of postoperative PVO in our center.Methods:We conducted a retrospective study of the patients with isolated TAPVC admitted in our center from October 2013 to October 2019. All available data and images of PVO patients were reviewed, such as the initial perioperative medical records, patients’ follow-up records, results of patients’ echo and CT angiography. Re-intervention including hybrid technique, sutureless technique, and patch augmentation, were carried out for postoperative PVO patients. The results were reviewed and analyzed to find the risk factors for adverse prognosis.Results:A series of 174 isolated TAPVC patients were admitted in our center and 169 received surgical treatment and 26 (26/169, 15.4%) had postoperative PVO. The diagnosis was made at a median time of 11.5 (0-77) weeks after initial operation and within 6 months of surgery in 22 (22/26, 84.6%) of the 26 patients. The subtype of TAPVC patients with postoperative PVO were: supracardiac 11 cases (11/26, 42.3%), cardiac 7 cases (7/26, 26.9%), infracardiac 5 cases (5/26, 19.2%), and mixed 3 cases (3/26, 11.5%). Bilateral obstruction and stenosis with diffusely small pulmonary veins were in 12 (12/26, 46.2%) and 3 cases (3/26, 11.5%) respectively. PVO progressed to worse condition in all the 26 cases during follow-up period. 8 (8/26, 30.8%) postoperative PVO patients underwent 10 re-interventions: one cases had 3 re-interventions. Five-year survival for patients with postoperative PVO was worse than those without postoperative PVO ( HR=6.46, 95% CI: 2.34-17.85, P<0.01). Risk factors for death or re-intervention in postoperative PVO patients were earlier presentation after TAPVC repair ( HR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.73-0.99, P=0.04) and an increased number of lung segments affected by obstruction ( HR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.01-2.99, P=0.04). Conclusion:Risk factors for death or re-intervention in postoperative PVO patients were earlier presentation after TAPVC repair and an increased number of lung segments affected, which should be focused on during strict follow-up period. Early re-intervention should be taken before irreversible secondary changes occur in these patients.

Objective:
To reviewe our clinical experience on biventricular surgical repair of Swiss-cheese ventricular septal defects with two-patch and right ventricle apex excluding technique in 9 infants.
Methods:
From March 2014 to March 2019, a series of 9 patients(M/F=2/7) with Swiss-cheese ventricular septal defects were admitted in our center to receive surgical treatment, with a median age of 4.8(2-12) months and a median body weight of 4.5(3.7-6.8) kg. All the 9 cases were symptomatic with shortness of breath and sweating. All the patients received echocardiography, ECG and chest X-ray. 3 patients with other intracardiac anomalies received CT angiography and 1 with severe pulmonary hypertension had transcatheter angiography. 4 cases of 9 had antenatal echocardiography but with no positive findings. The median cardiothoracic ratio was 0.63(0.58-0.72). 8 cases underwent one-stage surgical repair with the two-patch and right ventricle apex excluding technique and 1 case received a second-stage surgical repair with the same technique following a previous pulmonary artery banding procedure. The surgical repair was carried out with cardiopulmonary bypass under moderate hypothermia and using HTK cardioplagia to stop the heart in all the 9 cases. 2 fresh autologous pericardium patchs were used to closure defects of the outflow tract area and the apex trabecular defects respectively by excluding the apex of the right ventricle from the right ventricular inflow. Other intracardiac anomalies were corrected simultaneously. Patients were strictly followed up with a stanard protocol.
Results:
All the operations were successful. Median cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic clamping time were 96(68-167)min and 68(43-122)min respectively. Delayed chest closure were done in 2 cases within 48-72 hours postoperatively. The time of mechincal ventilation and ICU stay were 131.3(32-328)hours and 8.7(5-31)days respectively. All the patients were discarged in 11.5(9-42)days after operation. There was no mortality and major complication except for 1 case of low cardiac output syndrome, 2 cases of ventilator associated pnumonia and 2 cases of residual shunt(less than 2 mm). All the patients were followed up for 3.2 years(1 month-9 years). There was no death and major complication. The latest echocardiography results showed that the left and right heart function was normal in all the cases.
Conclusion
Biventricular surgical repair of Swiss-cheese ventricular septal defects with two-patch of fresh autologous pericardium and right ventricle apex excluding technique in infants can be relatively easy with favorable early and mid-term results. Long term results need to be evaluated with more cases.
