Congenital cardiovascular anomalies are present in approximately 80％ of children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.Three genes in chromosome 22q11.2 ( TBX1,CRKL,and ERK2 ) have been identified whose haploinsufficiency causes anomalies of 22q11.2 deletion.The most common diseases are conotruncal anomalies,which include tetralogy of Fallot ( TOF),pulmonary atresia with ventricular septum defect (PA-VSD),truncus arteriosus,and interrupted aortic arch.In major phenotypes,a high prevalence of the deletion is noted in patients with TOF with pulmonary atresia,TOF associated with pulmonary atresia and major aortopumonary collateral arteries,persistent truncus arteriosus,and type B interruption of aortic arch.In minor phenotypes,right aortic arch,aberrant subclavian artery,and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are frequently associated with cardiovascular anomalies associated with 22q11.2 deletion.In conclusion,conotruncal anomaly associated with aortic arch and branch anomalies should increase the suspicion of 22q11.2 deletion.

Objective The incidence of acute pulmonary injury occurred after cardiopulmonary bypass for fallot tetrad has been high. The severity of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion has been found to be reduced with ulinastatin (UTI) in the animal models and clinical practice. We evaluated the effect of pulmonary artery perfusion with a hypothermic protective solution containing ulinastatin on the inflammatory response in the lung during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods 30 children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) were randomly assigned into control group and protective group, 15 cases in each group. Patients would be excluded if they had signs of infections, such as the white blood cell count was over 12000 per microliter, the temperature was above 38 centi-degree and the c-reaction protein was more than 8 mg/L. Operation with routine approaches was performed in the control group and the pulmonary artery was infused with 4℃ protective solution in the protective group while the heart stoped beating. Plasma tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) 、CD11b and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured intraoperatively and postoperatively. Blood gas、pulmonary function and clinic index of the patients were also monitored. Results The level of TNF-α was lower in the protective group as compared with that in the control group immediately and 3 hours after closing the sternum [(11.15±2.47) pg/ml vs. (14.21 ±5.55) pg/ml, P<0.05; (12.01 ±2.69) pg/ml vs. (15.94 ±4.86)pg/ml,P <0.01]. The MFI of CD11b was lower in the protective group as compared with that in the control group at 3 and 6 hoursafter closing the sternum (126.23±36.05 vs. 156.98±48.34, P<0.05; 137.27±38.85 vs. 173.27±67.43, P<0.05). The level of MPO was lower in protective group as compared with that in the control group at 3 hours, 6 hours and 24hours after closing the sternum [(156.52±17.57)U/L vs.(178.45±35.68)U/L, P<0.05; (178.28±23.63) U/L vs.(224.66±49.66)U/L, P<0.01;(130.52±57.50)U/L vs. (96.50±14.49)U/L, P<0.05]. The duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly shorter in the protective group than that in the control group (17.60±6.39 vs. 23.70±8.51,P<0.05). Alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference (A-aDO2, calculated as [FiO2×713-5/4×PaCO2]-PaO2) in the protective group was less than that in the control group at 3 and 6 hours after closing the sternum [(120.92±33.08)mm Hg vs. (145.52±39.38)mmHg, P<0.05;(74.76±40.16)mm Hg vs. (112.50±44.16)mmHg, P<0.01]. Dynamic compliance (Cdyn) in protective group was lower than that in control group at 3 and 6 hours after closing the sternum [(0.59±0.11)ml·cmH2O-1·kg-1 vs. (0.46±0.17)ml·cmH2O-1·kg-1, P<0.05;(0.67±0.09)ml·cmH2O-1·kg-1vs. (0.53±0.18)ml·cmH2O-1·kg-1,P<0.05). Conclusion Perfusion with hypothermic protective solution containing UTI to the pulmonary artery during cardiopulmonary bypass may reduce the inflammatory responses substantially in the lung after bypass and had a role in the lung protection.

Objective To introduce the super minimally invasive transintercostal device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and summarize it's therapeutic effect.Methods Nine patiens with VSD from August 2014 to December 2014 in our hospital were enrolled,which performed super minimally invasive transintercostal device closure of VSD.All patients were followed up prudently post-operation.Echocardiography was scheduled according to the protocol.Results All cases were successfully occluded.There was no death case in the peri-operation period and severe complications after operation.Conclusions The super minimally invasive transintercostal device closure of VSD is safe and reliable.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of trichostatin-A (TSA) on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signal pathway.Methods 36 male SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups:shamoperated group,ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group and TSA group.Rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO) was established using a modified filament method.No occlusion was applicated to the sham-operated group.TSA group was injected with TSA 0.05 mg/kg via penile vein,20 minutes before operation.Reperfusion was carried out 24 hours after modeling.Longa 5 score was used to assess the neurological function,and TTC staining was applied to calculate the percentage of cerebral infarction area,The expression of JAK2 and p-JAK2 proteins was detected by Elisa.Results The low expression of JAK2 was observed in each group,and there was no statistical difference between groups (P =0.266).Compared with I/R group,TSA group had lower score in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury assessment (P=0.019),smaller area of cerebral infarction (P ＜0.01),reduced expression of p-JAK2 (P =0.009),all of which were of significant difference.Condusions TSA can reduce the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury via JAK/STAT signal pathway by down regulating p-JAK2 expression.

Objective This study was designed to study the effect of Diltiazem on patency rate of arteriovenous anastomosis in rat and how it works.Methods 24 SD rats were divided into control group and experimental group,12 rats in each group.Experimental group rats were gavaged with Diltiazem after vascular anastomosis.Control group rats were gavaged with water.By comparing the patency rate and the thickness of artery to make sure whether Diltiazem will affect the patency rate.;By comparing the clotting time,prothrombin time,artial thromboplastin time,and serum thromboxane B2 levels to explore the pathway of diltiazem.Results The patency rate was 75％ in the experimental group and 25％ in control group.Compared with the control group,experimental group venous blood vessels in the film segment was significantly thicker,clotting time was prolonged,TXB2 levels in blood was decreased,the differences were statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference in prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Diltiazem can inhibit the secretion of TXB2,antagonize the effct of antiplatelet,and increase the patency rate of vascular anastomosis in rats.

Objective To summzarize the impacts of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in the early period(< 72 h) on the postoperative course after open-heart surgery in pediatric patients, and to discuss the expe-riences on therapeutic strategies. Method From March 2005 to March 2008, 39 patients diagnosed to be RSV in-fection confmned by RSV antigen test were prospectively enrolled into RSV-infeetion group. Anoth.er 39 patients were randomly 1 : 1 matched with age and same type of congenital heart disease (CHD) during the same period who also underwent open-heart surgery without RSV infection (nonRSV-infection group) as control group. The medical records of these patients were retrospectivdy reviewed. The duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of ICU stay and hospital stay were compared between the two groups with Paired Student's t test. Meanwhile Fisher' s exact test was used to compare the differences in noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, incidence rate of re-intubafion and severe postoperative complications between groups. Patients in both groups were further divided into subgroups aceonting to differences in age, cyanosis and pulmonary arterial pressure in order to identify the dif-ferent impacts of RSV infection in patients in different settings. Results All the patients were survived and dis-charged home. RSV infection significantly prolonged the duration of MV, ICU and hospital stay (all P < 0. 05).In addition, it significantly increased the incidence of pulmonary atelectasis (P < 0.05). In patients under 6 months old, RSV infection resulted in prolongation of MV, ICU and hospital stay (all P <0.05); furthermore, it significantly increased the incidence of complications of low cardiac output syndrome and bacteria co-infection (both P = 0.05). In patients over 24 months, RSV infection had no significant impacts in all the parameters which are compared between the two groups. In patients with cyanotic CHD, RSV infection significantly prolonged the duration of MV, ICU stay and hospital stay (all P < 0.05). In patients with cyanotic CHD, RSV infection significantly prolonged the duration of ICU stay and hospital stay (P <0.05). In patients with pulmonary hyper-tension, RSV infection significantly prolonged the duration of MV, ICU and hospital stay(all P <0.05), and in-creased the incidence rate of concomitant infection (P < 0.05). However, in patients without pulmonary hyper-tension, RSV infection only significantly increased the length of hospital stay (P < 0.05). Conclusions RSV in-fection in the early period after open-heart surgery in pediatric patients has significant adverse impacts on the post-operative course, especially in those patients under 6 months old, patients with pumonary hypertension or cyanotic CHD. Early diagnosis, and effective circulatory and respiratory support,alone with antivirus results in a satisfied outcome.
