Objective The bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) is a major step in the staged palliation of functionally univentricular heart defects.Whether to preserve of additional pulmonary blood flow (APBF) has been a highly controversial issue.The purpose is to mathematical model and set out to determine the significa advantages and disadvantages of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with additional pulmonary blood flow:a theoretical analysis nce of APBF and the appropriate APBF ratio.Methods We used models of the univentricular circulation after the bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis with additional pulmonary blood and to computational analyze the impact of APBF on oxygen delivery,APBF flow on the CVP and SaO2.Results The influence of APBF depends on the ratio of superior vena cava flow to inferior vena cava flow ( QSVC/QIVC ).For QSVC/QIVC > 0.3,APBF may be associated with decreased oxygen delivery.For QSVC/QIVC < 0.3,appropriate APBF may be associated with increased oxygen delivery.A linear relationship exists between the increase of APBF and CVP,and the slope was depended on the value of pulmonary vascular resistance.Estimating APBF from CVP measurements may be a feasible method.A nonlinear relationship between the increase of APBF and oxygen saturation,and estimating APBF from SaO2 measurements may result in errors.BCPS and appropriate APBF may optimal the oxygen delivery with the increase of age and the decrease in QSVC/QIVC.For patients who accepted BCPS without APBF,there is a decreasing tendency of oxygen delivery with the increase of age and the decrease in QSVC/QIVC.For patients who suffered pulmonary arterivenous malformation,there is a more obvious decrease in oxygen delivery.ConclusionFor patients under age who has normal pulmonary vascularbed ( that is,QSVC/QVC > 0.3),elimination of additional pulmonary blood flow can improve the oxygen delivery under a given cardiac output.For patients who with hypoplastic pulmonary vascular or in older patients under age,APBF is necessary to improve oxygen delivery.For patients who have to accept BCPS as the final procedure,preserving of APBF is suggested.

PURPOSE: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is one of the most fundamental and important subjects in cardiovascular surgery. Thus, it is insufficient to understand CPB through only traditional education methods as a comprehensive knowledge based on anatomy and physiology of the circulating system and surgical techniques is essential. The aim of this study was to develop a multimedia CPB teaching program for a more rewarding learning experience. METHODS: Among all teaching materials, text and picture-based lectures, movies on surgical procedures, and animations were chosen to be included in the teaching programs. Firstly, we made lecture notes and a powerpoint lecture with narration. Secondly, we made and edited movie files on surgical procedures, and incorporated sound in the movies. Thirdly, we developed animation files including all CPB procedures using flash 5.0. Finally we made a CD ROM and a web page for CPB and other basic surgical techniques. A basic wurgical procedures Self-test was also included. Questionnaires were given to medical students to evaluate the effectiveness and the ease of use of this program. RESULTS: The developed CPB educational program was distributed in a CD-ROM. An internet homepage (http: //surgery.chungbuk.ac.kr) for basic surgical procedures was constructed with the multimedia CPB lecture. The results of the questionnaires were positive, Proving the improved understanding of CPB. CONCLUSION: This multimedia education program on CPB not only can help medical students to easily understand the structures and principles involved in CPB, but also give indirect experience of this surgical procedure.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 99Tc m-hydrazinonicotinamide-(poly-(ethylene glycol)) 4-E((poly-(ethylene glycol)) 4-c((Arg-Gly-Asp)fK)) 2 (3PRGD 2) imaging on predicting pathological complete response (pCR) outcomes to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer and to compare it with 18F-FDG imaging. Methods:From October 2017 to October 2019, 41 patients (age: (61.5±7.8) years) who were diagnosed with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ breast cancer and planned to receive preoperative NAC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and Xiehe Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent both 99Tc m-3PRGD 2 and 18F-FDG imaging before NAC (baseline), and after the first and the fourth NAC cycle. The tumor/background ratio (T/B; 99Tc m-3PRGD 2) and SUV max ( 18F-FDG) in breast tumors and axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases were separately calculated. The relative T/B changes (ΔT/B 1, ΔT/B 2) and SUV max changes (ΔSUV max1, ΔSUV max2) after the first and the fourth NAC cycle compared to baseline were obtained. Patients underwent surgery after NAC and the pathology was used as the gold standard to determine whether patient achieved pCR. The predictive performance of ΔT/B and ΔSUV max regarding the identification of pCR or non-pCR was evaluated by using ROC analysis and the AUCs were compared by Delong test. Results:Of 41 patients, 13 (31.7%) were achieved pCR after NAC. For breast tumors, the AUCs of ΔT/B 1, ΔT/B 2, ΔSUV max1 and ΔSUV max2 were 0.827 ( P=0.001), 0.687 ( P=0.057), 0.859 ( P<0.001) and 0.713 ( P=0.030) respectively, and the AUCs of ΔT/B 1 and ΔSUV max1 had no significant difference ( z=0.33, P=0.740). For ALN metastases, the AUCs of ΔT/B 1, ΔT/B 2, ΔSUV max1 and ΔSUV max2 were 0.859 ( P=0.002), 0.778 ( P=0.014), 0.572 ( P=0.523) and 0.802 ( P=0.007) respectively, and the AUC of ΔT/B 1 was significantly higher than that of ΔSUV max1 ( z=2.10, P=0.035). Conclusion:The early relative changes of breast tumors and ALN metastases in 99Tc m-3PRGD 2 imaging during NAC can offer predictive information for pCR to NAC in patients with breast cancer, and early relative changes of ALN metastases in 99Tc m-3PRGD 2 imaging may have a higher predictive value for pCR than 18F-FDG imaging.
