BACKGROUND:Long-term patency rate of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels is stil the most important issue to be solved.
OBJECTIVE:To review the materials and fabrication technologies of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels as wel as endothelialization of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels.
METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed (2000-2013) and Wanfang database (2003-2013) was done for relevant articles using the key words of“smal-caliber, vascular graft, electrospun, layer-by-layer assembly, endothelialization”in English and Chinese, respectively. A total of 125 articles were retrieved, and final y, 41 were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At present, smal-caliber vascular graft materials include natural biological materials, biodegradable polymers, composite materials and xenogeneic biomaterials. Preparation technologies of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels mainly include electrospinning, self-assembly, rapid prototyping, and gel spinning. Numerous methods can elicit endothelialization of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels, but each method has its flaws and cannot ensure long-term patency radical y. With the development and diversification of preparation technologies and in-depth study of endothelialization of vascular prostheses, the long-term patency of smal-caliber artificial blood vessels wil gradual y be resolved.

Objective To explore risk factors of cardiac surgery in neonates with low body weight.Methods Retrospective analysis was made in neonates weighing less than 3 kg at surgery(n =192;group 1) and 3 to 6 kg(n =517;group 2),who had undergone open cardiac repairs from January 2006 to December 2015 at our institution.Patients were grouped according to the primary procedure performed and analyzed according to their weight at the time of surgical intervention.Patients were also analyzed according to preoperative risk scores.Univariate versus multivariate risk analysis was performed.Results Hospital early mortality in group 1 was 25.0％ (n =48) versus 14.5 ％ (n =75) in group 2 (P =0.001).Compared with group 2,neonates in group 1 had a significantly higher mortality for simple arterial switch procedure.Lower body weight remained strongly associated with mortality risk after stratifying the population by preoperative risk scores category levels 2.Within group 1,age,weight at surgery,preoperative risk score and type of procedure were not associated with significant differences in early mortality.Cardio-pulmonary bypass time,aortic cross-clamp time and the presence of a surgical complication were independent risk factors for early mortality in group 1.Conclusion Among neonates weighing less than 3.0kg who underwent open cardiac surgery,perioperative hemodynamic status,reflected by bypass time,cross-clamp time,and surgical complications,strongly influenced early mortality.In contrast,low body weight itself was not associated with early mortality.

Objective To investigate the value in the diagnosis of tumor of the stomach by hypotonic water filling method com-bined with CT multi planar reconstruction (MPR).Methods CT image data of 21 5 cases with gastric tumor confirmed by operation and pathology in our hospital were analysed retrospectively.Conventional CT enhanced scan was obtained in patients with the stom-ach hypotonic water filling condition,and MPR CT characteristics of lesions were observed.Results In the 21 5 cases of gastric be-nign or malignant lesions,MPR showed 5 pathological types in 210 cases.In the conventional CT examination,the tumor diagnosis rate had obvious improvement in different gastric parts and types of the stomach tumors through CT MPR.Conclusion There is high detection rate in the diagnosis of gastric tumors using hypotonic water filling method with MPR,which can accurately display invasion and metastasis,and reduce the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in gastric tumor.

Objective To compare the outcomes between interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) patients treated with four-drug combination (heparin,lidocaine,sodium bicarbonate,gentamicin) and sodium hyaluronate intravesical instillation.Methods There were 23 IC/PBS patients from Jan.1,2011 to Mar.1,2013.Ten patients (group A) received four-drug combination (heparin 40 000 U,'gentamicin 160 000 U,sodium bicarbonate 1％,lidocaine 0.4％) instillation treatment.Thirteen patients received instillation of sodium hyaluronate (40 mg/50 ml) therapy (group B).In group B,intravesical instillations were performed weekly in the first 6-8 weeks,and monthly until one year.Patients in group A received intravesical instillation twice a week in the first 6-8 weeks and twice a month for 10 months.All the patients were instructed to retain the instillation volume for at least one hour.Clinical symptoms (24 h frequency of urination,maximal micturition volume),O'Leary-Sant symptom and problem index were assessed at baseline and 1,6 and 12 months after treatment.The 2 therapies were compared within curative effects and side effects.Results Twenty-two of the 23 patients were followed up to 12 months.Patients in group A had no adverse events reported.One case of group B dropped out from treatment for recurrent urinary tract infection,and the other two cases felt painful in bladder area during instillation.There was no significant difference in initial scores between the 2 groups (P＞0.05).At 1,6,12 months after intravesical instillation,interstitial cystitis symptom index,interstitial cystitis problem index,24 h frequency of urination,the maximum bladder capacity were improved in both groups.All indicators in group A and B were improved significantly after treatment compared with pretreatment (P ＜ 0.05).≥ 25％ decrease of interstitial cystitis symptom index or ≥25％ decrease of 24 h frequency of urination were defined as remission.Remission rates of the 2 groups at each time point were:1 month after treatment (100％ versus 100％,P=1.000),6 months after treatment (80％ versus 83％,P=1.000),1 year after treatment (70％ versus 75％,P=1.000).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in all time points for the outcomes (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The four-drug combination intravesical instillation could achieve a similar effect with hyaluronic acid therapy in patients with IC/PBS.

A new magnetic affinity immunoassay (MAIA) strategy based on enzyme-labeled phage displayed antibody was developed. The assay consisted of a sandwich format in which immobilized polyclonal antibody (pcAb) on magnetic microparticle was used for capture probe, and enzyme-labeled phage displayed antibody for specific detection probe to increase enzyme amount and enhance detection signal. By the proposed method,β-bungarotoxin (β-BGT) was successfully detected. A linear relationship between absorbance value and the concentration of β-BGT in the range of 0. 016-62. 5 μg / L was obtained. The linear regression equation was Y=0. 641X+1. 355 (R =0. 9925, n = 13, p<0. 0001) with a detection limit of 0. 016 μg / L. In comparison with the traditional ELISA, this method gave a 10-fold better sensitivity in β-BGT detection. This strategy also gave a 4-fold better sensitivity comparing with the MAIA based on enzyme labeled monoclonal antibody (mcAb). Due to low detection limit, acceptable reproducibility and high specificity, this method holds great promise in toxin trace detection.
