Objective:To summarize the management experience of helicopter medical transport in patients with critical heart disease, so as to provide reference for transport of patients with critical heart disease under the background of major natural disasters.Methods:The clinical and transport data of 36 critically ill cardiac patients in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from 16:30 on July 21 to 19:30 on July 22, 2021 due to historically rare heavy rainstorms were collected. All 36 critically ill cardiac patients were transported by helicopter. The safe transportation was implemented under the measures of quickly forming a transport leadership and coordination group, clarifying responsibilities and division of labor, doing a good job in the pretreatment of the patient's condition, pipeline assessment and mechanical circulation support (MCS) equipment, simulating and practicing the transfer process, improving the safety of the transfer implementation process, and effectively handing over with the target hospital. The gender, age, disease type, MCS, transport and outcome of patients were collected.Results:Thirty-six patients with cardiac critical illness were from adult extracardiac intensive care unit (ICU), adult cardiac care unit (CCU), children's CCU, comprehensive ICU and department of neurology. There were 24 males and 12 females; age (50.93±20.86) years old. There were 12 patients using respirator, 7 patients needing MCS, 2 of whom needed both extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), and 7 patients with post-cardiac surgery. The total distance of transportation of 36 patients was 1 638.4 km, the transit time was 10.5 hours, one way flight time of helicopter was about 8 minutes, and the average transport time per patient was about 17.5 minutes. The vital signs of 36 patients during transport were basically stable, without complications, and all of them reached the target hospital safely.Conclusion:Under the seamless connection of the rapid establishment of the transfer leadership coordination group, assessment of the patient's condition and pretreatment, the simulation of the transfer process, and the effective handover with the receiving hospital, the use of helicopter for medical transport for critically ill heart patients is feasible and safe, which can buy valuable time for saving patients' lives and further treatment.

Objective:To investigate the application value of paradoxical intention therapy in patients undergoing PCI.Methods:A total of 116 patients who undergoing PCI in Fuwai Center China Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled in the present study. They were divided into experimental group and control group with 58 cases in each group. The control group received routine therapy and nursing care, while the experimental group carried out paradoxical intention therapy based on the control group. The effects were evaluated by physiological stress index (blood pressure, heart rate), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) respectively.Results:At 1 day before surgery, once on the operative day and 1 day after surgery, the systolic pressure were (129.58 ± 13.89), (132.08 ± 12.28), (125.58 ± 12.28) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (137.22 ± 11.18), (138.35 ± 14.94), (132.35 ± 14.89) mmHg, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.14, 2.38, 2.59, all P<0.05). At 1 day before surgery and once on the operative day, the heart rate were (74.17 ± 4.18), (76.39 ± 5.14) times/minutes in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (76.62 ± 5.19), (78.78 ± 6.22) times/minutes, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.69, 2.17, both P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the scores of somatization, compulsion, anxiety, depression and total SCL-90 were (1.25 ± 0.19), (1.42 ± 0.23), (1.19 ± 0.28), (1.20 ± 0.16), (121.66 ± 9.66) points in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (1.84 ± 0.25), (1.68 ± 0.37), (1.84 ± 0.39), (1.73 ± 0.33), (146.47 ± 8.64) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 4.45-14.08, all P<0.05). The scores of physiological dimension, psychological dimension and total GCQ were (10.89 ± 2.22), (24.49 ± 4.92), (77.91 ± 6.20) points in the experimental group, significantly higher than those in the control group (8.51 ± 2.27), (21.84 ± 4.61), (72.09 ± 6.66) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.50, 2.89, 4.69, all P<0.05).

Objective:To provide experimental evidence for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis by analyzing the clinical characteristics, screening and identification of the function of suspicious variants in a X-1inked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) family.Methods:The family members' medical history, general physical examination, femur, spine X-ray examination were collected. Peripheral blood samples of the family members were collected and DNA was extracted from these samples. Sequencing clinical whole exons of proband DNA by targeted gene high-throughput sequencing method, then analysis sequencing data. The suspicious mutation was confirmed in pedigree members by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) experiments of total RNA from blood lymphocytes were performed. The amplification of exons 3 and 4 of the pathogenic gene were amplified and identified by agarose gel. The expression of the pathogenic gene was also detected.Results:Three affected males of the family were diagnosed with SEDT according to their clinical and radiological features. A nonsense mutation in the transport protein particle complex subunit 2 ( TRAPPC2) gene NM_001011658: c.91A>T (p.K31*) was found in the proband using whole exome sequencing. This variation was also detected in his cousin, but not in non-phenotypic members of the family. The RT-PCR result for amplification of exon 3 and 4 of peripheral blood lymphocytes was the same as those of normal controls, indicating that the mutation did not affect the splicing of transcripts. qPCR results showed that the transcriptional expression of TRAPPC2 in patients was significantly lower than that in family normal controls and normal people controls. Conclusion:Identification of the novel nonsense mutation (c.91A>T) in the SEDT family enables early patients screening, carrier detection, genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, and clinical prevention and treatment. The detailed genotype/phenotype descriptions contribute to the SEDT mutation spectrum. The study of the function of TRAPPC2 mutation will help to further elucidate the role of sedlin in cartilage.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH). METHODS: PCR and Sanger sequencing were carried out for the proband, and suspected variant was validated by Sanger sequencing in the pedigree. RESULTS: The proband was found to harbor a novel variant of c.1352delA (p.N451Mfs*13) of the ADAR (NM_001111) gene. The same variant was found in her affected mother and sister, but not in her unaffected father, uncle, and 100 healthy individual. CONCLUSION The novel variant of the ADAR gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of DSH in this pedigree.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a couple who had developed polyhydramnios during three pregnancies and given birth to two liveborns featuring limb contracture, dyspnea and neonatal death. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on fetal tissue and peripheral blood samples from the couple. Suspected variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The fetus was found to harbor homozygous nonsense c.3718C>T (p.Arg1240Ter) variants of the CNTNAP1 gene, which were respectively inherited from its mother and father. The variant was unreported previously. According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PP4). CONCLUSION The novel homozygous nonsense variants of the CNTNAP1 gene probably underlay the lethal congenital contracture syndrome type 7 (LCCS7) in this pedigree. Above finding has enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the family.
