Objective:To examine the safety and effectiveness of a novel domestic transcatheter aortic valve system in addressing severe aortic valve stenosis.Methods:This prospective, multicenter, single-arm target-value clinical trial enrolled patients with severe aortic stenosis meeting inclusion criteria from 13 Chinese centers between July 2021 and April 2022. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 1-year post-procedure. Secondary endpoints included safety outcomes (30-day all-cause mortality, 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events, device success) and efficacy parameters (transvalvular pressure gradient, paravalvular leak severity, New York Heart Association(NYHA)class improvement, and quality of life). Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results:The study included 134 patients, 85 males and 49 females, with an age of (73.6±5.6)years (range: 65.1 to 91.8 years). Bicuspid aortic valve morphology was present in 59.7% (80/134). Device success rate was 99.3%, with one case converted to open surgery due to coronary obstruction. All-cause mortality was 0.8% (95% CI: 0.1% to 5.3%) at both 30-day and 1-year follow-up, significantly lower than the 25% target value ( P<0.01). Permanent pacemaker implantation rates remained 2.2% (3/134) at both timepoints. Stroke incidence was 0.7% (1/134) at 30 days and 1.5% (2/134) at 1 year. Myocardial infarction rates were 0.7% (1/134) at both intervals. The postoperative transvalvular pressure gradient of the aortic valve was (6.6±3.1) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) (range: 4 to 8 mmHg). Among the patients, 32 cases (23.9%) had mild paravalvular leakage, 4 cases (3.0%) had moderate paravalvular leakage, and no severe paravalvular leakage was observed. NYHA class Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients increased from 18.7% preoperatively to 99.3% postoperatively. Conclusion:The novel domestic transcatheter aortic valve system demonstrates satisfactory 1-year safety and efficacy outcomes in treating severe aortic stenosis.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasonic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and optical disk elevation (ODE) for intracranial hypertension in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods:A total of 50 patients with CVST who underwent lumbar puncture and ONSD examination in the Department of Neurology and Emergency Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to December 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. After lumbar puncture, the patient′s initial intracranial pressure was recorded. Normal ICP was defined as ICP between 80 and 200 mmH 2O, and increased ICP was defined as ICP>200 mmH 2O. Fifty patients with CVST were divided into normal ICP group (14 cases) and increased ICP group (36 cases). The differences of baseline data, ONSD and ODE between the two groups were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated. The area under the curve (AUC) and the diagnostic cut-off value of ONSD were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between ONSD, ODE, CVST involvement range scores and intracranial pressure. Results:①There were no significant differences in gender, age and body mass index between the normal ICP group and the increased ICP group (all P>0.05). ②The ONSD and ODE in the increased ICP group were higher than those in the normal ICP group, and the differences were statistically significant [(4.83±0.33)mm vs (4.21±0.21)mm, (0.67±0.44)mm vs (0.24±0.29)mm, all P<0.001]. Spearman correlation analysis showed that ONSD and ODE were positively correlated with intracranial pressure ( rs=0.74, 0.51, all P<0.001). ③The extent of CVST involvement in the intracranial hypertension group was higher than that in the normal intracranial pressure group, and the difference was statistically significant [5.0(3.0, 7.5) vs 2.5(2.0, 5.0), P=0.015]. Spearman correlation analysis showed that CVST involvement score was positively correlated with intracranial pressure ( rs=0.43, P<0.001). ④In the diagnosis of intracranial hypertension in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, the AUC of ONSD was 0.935, the best diagnostic threshold of ONSD was 4.5 mm, the sensitivity was 0.81, and the specificity was 0.93. Conclusions:ONSD and ODE measured by ultrasound are reliable imaging methods to identify intracranial hypertension in patients with CVST.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of the V-Y plasty of musculocutaneous flap in repairing the excessive width of inner canthus deformity.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed between July 2018 and June 2021 in patients treated with this method. V-Y design along the inner corner of the eye before operation. The key points of operation are the elevated under the orbicularis oculi muscle. The skin orbicularis oculi muscle flaps are formed on both sides of the incision. After the V-Y of the outside myocutaneous flap is advanced and formed at the new medial canthus point, the V-Y of the orbicularis oculi muscle and the skin are sutured in layers. The degree of reduction of the inner canthus width, epicanthal fold shape, incision scarring, and patient satisfaction was followed up. All patients were measured at the preoperative and postoperative review to record data of the intercanthal distance, and used paired t-test for statistical analysis. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:83 patients, including 81 female patients and 2 males, with an average age of 28 years (19 to 56 years) were followed up from 3 months to 2 years, with an average of 1 year. The overexposure of the tear caruncle was significantly reduced, the asymmetry of the bilateral inner corners has been improved, the shape of the epicanthal folds reverted to its natural appearance and the old scars became inconspicuous; patient satisfaction evaluation: very satisfied 34.94% (29/83), satisfied 54.22% (45/83), relatively dissatisfied 6.02% (5/83), dissatisfied 4.82% (4/83). Among the 4 cases of dissatisfaction, 2 cases were due to insufficient correction and were re-operated to obtain satisfactory result, 1 case was improved by reoperating due to excessive correction which led to the reduction of inner canthal distance, 1 case regrets surgery the next day after surgery and cannot accept the appearance and strongly requires removal and restoration. The distance between intercanthal distance of the patients was 28.8 mm to 38.0 mm, average (33.58±3.34) mm before the operation, and 32.2 mm to 41.5 mm, average (37.47±2.90) mm after the operation, an average increase of 3.89 mm ( t=-15.78, P<0.001) after the operation. Conclusions:The V-Y plasty of musculocutaneous flap is suitable for the repair of excessive width of inner canthus deformity after epicanthoplasty. The design idea is simple, the postoperative effect is reliable, and the postoperative satisfaction rate of patients is high.
