Objective:To retrospectively analyze the data of patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during perioperative period of cardiac transplantation and provide objective and reliable evidence for further clinical promotion.Methods:Collect the clinical data of patients undergoing heart transplantation and ECMO support in Fuwai Hospital, analyze the duration of ECMO support, combined use of aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), and complications during the supporting period. All statistical analyses were processed by SPSS 23.0 software. Independent sample Student's test was employed for normal distribution and Mann-Whitney U test for abormal distribution. χ2 or Fisher exact test was utilized for comparinge the classification data between groups. Results:All ECMO support models were intravenous-arterial ECMO (V-A ECMO). Eight patients successfully bridging heart transplantation through VA-ECMO. Sixty-one patients (89.7%) who had undergone cardiac transplantation were successfully weaned from ECMO while 48 patients (70.5%) survived and discharged. The most common complications during circulation support are bleeding, acute renal insufficiency, and pulmonary infection. Patients with ECMO support in the operating room had a better rate of survival and weaning off(95.6%, 84.4%) than those with ECMO at the bedside of ICU(72.2%, 27.8%).Conclusions:ECMO can provide adequate circulation and respiratory function support for heart transplant patients, and it is an indispensable treatment for patients to go through the perioperative period of heart transplant surgery smoothly. It is advocated to use IABP combined with ECMO in the early stage and at the same time to increase the perfusion of vital organs, improve the prognosis of patients and obtain good outcomes.

Objective:To explore the application effects of modified laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) in inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and twenty-five patients with inguinal hernia in Yiwu Central Hospital from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective study. They were divided into modified TEP group (63 cases) and TAPP group (62 cases). The modified TEP group was treated with modified TEP, and the TAPP group was treated with TAPP. The perioperative operation related indexes, serum oxidative stress indexes, 1-year recurrence rate and semen quality indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of visual analogue scale after operation for 24 h in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (1.68 ± 0.39) scores vs. (1.97 ± 0.46) scores, P<0.05. After operation for 3 d, the levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (92.79 ± 8.82) μmol/L vs. (84.40 ± 7.36) μmol/L, (81.52 ± 9.37) U/L vs. (75.75 ± 8.50) U/L; and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (23.42 ± 3.3) μmol/L vs. (26.71 ± 3.92) μmol/L; the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). One year after operation, the levels of acid phosphatase (ACP), fructose (FRU) and α- glucosidase (α- Glu) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (180.87 ± 20.15) kU/L vs. (159.85 ± 14.50) kU/L, (3.37 ± 0.84) g/L vs.(2.53 ± 0.67) g/L, (62.94 ± 6.25) kU/L vs. (43.96 ± 5.31) kU/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Both modified TEP and TAPP are effective methods for the treatment of inguinal hernia, but the former can reduce surgical trauma, recover quickly, and protect normal reproductive function.
