		                        			Objective: To examine the short-term curative effect with minimally invasive right infra-axillary thoracotomy for transaortic modified Morrow procedure. Methods: The clinical data of 60 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic transaortic modified Morrow procedure from August 2021 to August 2022 at Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 31 males and 29 females, with the age (M (IQR)) of 54.0(22.3) years (range: 15 to 71 years). The echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis of moderate mitral regurgitation in 30 patients, and severe mitral regurgitation in 13 patients. Systolic anterior motion (SAM) was present preoperatively in 54 patients. All 60 patients underwent transaortic modified Morrow procedure through a right infra-axillary thoracotomy using femorofemoral cardiopulmonary bypass. Surgical procedures mainly included transverse aortic incision, exposure of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), septal myectomy, and correction of the abnormal mitral valve and subvalvular structures. Results: All 60 patients underwent the programmatic procedures successfully without conversion to full sternotomy. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (142.0±32.1) minutes (range: 89 to 240 minutes), while the cross-clamp time was (95.0±23.5) minutes (range: 50 to 162 minutes). The patients had a postoperative peak LVOT gradient of 7.0 (5.0) mmHg (range: 0 to 38 mmHg) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). A total of 57 patients were extubated on the operating table. The drainage volume in the first 24 h was (175.9±57.0) ml (range: 60 to 327 ml). The length of intensive care unit stay was 21.0 (5.8)h (range: 8 to 120 h) and postoperative hospital stay was 8 (5) days (range: 5 to 19 days). The postoperative septal thickness was 11 (2) mm (range: 8 to 14 mm). All patients had no iatrogenic ventricular septal perforation or postoperative residual SAM. The patients were followed up for 4 (9) months (range: 1 to 15 months), and none of them needed cardiac surgery again due to valve dysfunction or increased peak LVOT gradient during follow-up. Conclusion: Using a video-assisted thoracoscopic transaortic modified Morrow procedure through a right infra-axillary minithoracotomy can provide good visualization of the LVOT and hypertrophic ventricular septum, ensure optimal exposure of the mitral valve in the presence of complex mitral subvalvular structures, so that allows satisfactory short-term surgical results.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and short-term follow-up outcomes of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) children infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the Omicron variant outbreak in Shanghai, and to provide a reliable reference for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment.Methods:It was a case-control study. The clinical data of children with PNS (PNS group) who were diagnosed and followed-up up to 1 year in the nephrology department of four children's medical centers in Shanghai, and the children (control group) who had no underlying diseases and were infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Shanghai Jinshan Public Health Center, including the data when they were infected with SARS-CoV-2, were retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) From March 30th to April 13th, 2022, 6 PNS children in Shanghai were infected with SARS-CoV-2, including 5 boys and 1 girl. The median age was 4.5 (2.0, 11.0) years old. And 30 children were matched by sex, age and disease type as control group, including 20 males and 10 females. The median age was 4.5 (2.0, 9.0) years. There were no significant differences between the PNS group and the control group in clinical symptoms (including fever duration), treatment regimens, vaccine doses and virus clearance time (all P>0.05). (2) The 6 children with PNS included 3 cases of steroid-sensitive type, 3 cases of steroid-resistant type, 2 cases of minimal change disease, 2 cases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and 2 cases with no renal biopsy. Before SARS-CoV-2 infection, their primary disease-PNS were stable, and urine protein was negative, four of them were under maintenance treatment with oral steroids or immunosuppressive drugs. At the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the symptoms of all of the 6 cases were mild, no severe, critical or fatal cases, and they were all cured and discharged from hospital through medical isolation observation or symptomatic treatment of infections. (3) Five cases of them still had discomfort symptoms such as cough, anorexia, and fatigue after being discharged from the hospital, which lasted for about 1 week. Within 1 year of follow-up, none of the children have suffered from "recurrent positive PCR results" or "secondary infection" of the SARS-CoV-2. (4) Among them, 4 cases of PNS relapsed after SARS-CoV-2 infection, timely addition of steroids was effective, their urine protein quickly turned negative, and there was no recurrence after 1 year of follow-up. (5) Before infection with SARS-CoV-2, the levels of immunoglobulin IgG were lower than the normal reference value in the 4 cases with PNS recurrence. Conclusions:During the Omicron variant outbreak in Shanghai, the infection of SARS-CoV-2 in children with PNS are resulted in high transmission among household contacts. Most of them have mild symptoms and good prognosis. PNS is prone to relapse after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and steroid therapy is effective and safe for these relapse. IgG may be a potential marker for the prognosis of PNS children infected with SARS-CoV-2.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) on the cognitive function and alcohol craving in patients with alcohol dependence.Methods:From March 2019 to September 2021, a total of 150 patients with alcohol dependence were enrolled and randomly divided into rTMS treatment group (rTMS+ sham CBT, n=41), CBT treatment group (CBT+ sham rTMS, n=34), rTMS+ CBT treatment group( n=36) and control group (sham rTMS+ sham CBT, n=39). At baseline (before treatment), 2nd week, 8th week, 12th week and 24th week, alcohol dependence scale (ADS) was used to evaluate the degree of alcohol dependence, the obsessive compulsive drinking scale (OCDS) was used to assess patients' drinking craving, and Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) was used to assess the overall cognitive level of patients.SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used to compare the differences of ADS, OCDS and MoCA scale scores of the four groups by repeated measure ANOVA and simple effect analysis. Results:(1)The patients in the four groups were evaluated with ADS scale at baseline, 12th week and 24th week respectively.The interaction of group×time( F=1.279, P=0.279) and the main effect of group were not significant ( F=0.882, P=0.454), and the main effect of time was significant ( F=12.925, P<0.001) .Further simple effect analysis showed that the ADS score of rTMS+ CBT group was lower than that of baseline(14.48±5.70, 10.00±6.51) ( P=0.01) at 24th week.(2)Patients in the four groups were assessed with OCDs scale at baseline, 2nd week, 8th week, 12th week and 24th week, and the interaction of group×time was significant ( F=2.015, P=0.042). Further simple effect analysis showed that the OCDs scores of rTMS group and rTMS+ CBT group at each follow-up time node were lower than those at baseline period (all P<0.05). (3)Patients in the four groups were assessed with MoCA scale at baseline, 8th week, 12th week and 24th week, and the interaction of group×time was not significant ( F=1.660, P=0.106), and the main effect of group and the main effect of time were significant ( F=2.964, P=0.038; F=14.239, P<0.001). Further simple effect analysis showed that the score of MoCA scale in CBT group at the 24th week was higher than that at baseline (21.73±5.81, 24.60±3.98)( P=0.029), the score of MoCA scale in rTMS+ CBT group at the 24th week was higher than that at the 8th week (23.50±6.01, 25.95±2.87) ( P=0.006), and the score of MoCA scale in rTMS group at the 12th week was higher than that in control group (22.08±6.64, 26.64±2.46)( P=0.009). Conclusion:rTMS combined with CBT can be effective in improving alcohol craving and cognitive function in patients with alcohol dependence, and has a good long-term effect.
