Objective:To explore the application value of echocardiography in the management of pediatric mitral valve replacement.Methods:Thirty-three children who underwent mitral valve replacement at Union Hospital Tongji Medical College Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2009 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data and preoperative and postoperative echocardiographic data were collected. The differences in ultrasound parameters among preoperative,1-week postoperative,1-month postoperative and 1-year postoperative were compared.Results:Of the 33 children,there were 4 cases(12.12%)of mitral stenosis,33 cases(100%)of mitral regurgitation and 4 cases(12.12%)of mitral stenosis combined with regurgitation. Mechanical valve replacement was performed in 30 cases(90.91%)and bioprosthetic valve replacement in 3 cases(9.09%). Compared with the preoperative period,the left atrial internal diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter were significantly reduced at 1-week postoperatively,1-month postoperatively,and 1-year postoperatively,respectively(all P <0.05).The left ventricular mass was significantly reduced and the left ventricular end-diastolic sphericity index was significantly increased(both P < 0.05)at 1-month postoperatively compared with preoperatively. The left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher at 1-year postoperatively compared with 1-week postoperatively( P <0.05). Conclusions:After pediatric mitral valve replacement,the left ventricular dimensions decrease,and cardiac function progressively recovers. Echocardiography is an essential tool for accurate preoperative assessment and postoperative follow-up in pediatric mitral valve replacement.

Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients can achieve complete remission (CR) induced by standardized chemotherapy, but the relapse rate after remission remains high. The key reason is its high heterogeneity in cytogenetics and molecular biology. There are evidences show that minimal residual disease (MRD) is closely associated with disease recurrence, so that, finding specific genetic and molecular biological changes as new targets for MRD detection has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this review the intrinsic relationship between relapse of AML and MRD detection of specific molecular events, the application of these new targets in MRD detection and their targeted therapies according to the latest guidelines, so as to achieve the optimal treatment in CR phase.

Objective To study the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) on insulin signal transduction pathway in skeletal myoblast of L6 rats,and further to explore the possible mechanism of AngⅡ on glucose utilization.Methods Myoblast cells of L6 rats were cultured and induced to differentiate.They were divided into 4 groups according to different treatment by AngⅡ or JAK2-PKA inhibitor H89:normal control group ( NC group),insulin group,insulin + AngⅡ group and insulin + AngⅡ + H89 group.Expression of IRS1 and GLUT4 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Expression of IRS1,Ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 (total and membrane protein) were detected by Western blot.Results The difference of GLUT4 mRNA expression in the 4 groups detected by RT-PCR had no statistical significance(P > 0.05).The difference of IRS1 mRNA expression among the latter 3 groups had no statistical significance(P > 0.05),however,IRS1 expression in the latter 3 groups was higher than that in NC group(P < 0.05).Western blot results showed expression of IRS1,Ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 (membrane protein)was higher in the latter 3 groups than in NC group(P <0.05).The difference of IRS1 expression among the latter 3 groups(P > 0.05 ) and GLUT4 (total protein) expression among the 4 groups had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).The expression of of ptyr-IRS1 and GLUT4 membrane protein in Ins + AngⅡ + H89 group was much higher than that in Ins + AngⅡ group,and lower than that in insulin group(P <0.05).Conclusion AngⅡ inhibits IRS1's tyrosine phosphorylation and GLUT4's transfer from cytoplasm to plasma membrane in skeletal muscle cells through JAK2-PKA signaling pathway,and therefore induces insulin resistance.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different rehabilitation models on acalculia after acquired brain injury. Methods 113 cases were randomly assigned to 3 groups: control group(n=37), computer-assisted training group(n=38) and face-to-face training group(n=38). The control group just received cognitive dysfunction evaluation. The training groups received cognitive rehabilitation training 5 days a week and 30 minutes a day which sustained for 6 weeks. And 33 patients were selected to prolong for 12 weeks. They were evaluated with Revised EC301Calculation and Number Processing Battery in Chinese version (EC301-CR) at the beginning, the 6th week point and the 12th week point respectively. Results 6-week after treatment, The performance of both the computer-assisted training group and face-to-face training group significantly improved(P<0.001); It showed that computer-assisted group>face-to-face group>control group(P<0.001) both 6 weeks and 12 weeks latter. Significant negative correlation was found between age and performance of EC301-CR(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of computer-assisted training on acalculia is superior to face-to-face training; The first 6 weeks of training is the best period for rehabilitation; The younger the patient is, the better results are.
