Objective To summarize the experience of open heart operation on neonates with critical and complex congenital heart diseases and evaluate the methods of perioperative management. Methods From May 2001 to January 2003, 12 patients of neonates with congenital heart diseases underwent emergency operation. Their operating ages ranged from 6 to 30 days, the body weights were 2.8 to 4.5 kg. Their diagnoses included D-transposition of the great arteries in 4 cases, ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect in 5 cases, complete atrioventricular septal defect, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and cardiac rhabdomyomas in 1 case respectively. 12 cases were operated under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results All cases were observed in ICU for 2-11 days and discharged 7-19 days after operation. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, mediastinal infection, respiratory distress syndrome, systemic capillary leak syndrome and acute renal failure. All cases were cured and the follow-up (from 6 months to 2 years) showed satisfactory outcome. Conclusion A particular cardiopulmonary bypass and proper perioperative management is very important to ensure the successful outcome. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method for treating acute renal failure after cardiac operation in neonates.
Objective To understand the latest research developments of the formation mechanism of psammoma body in human tumors and related issues. Methods Related domestic and foreign literatures were widely referred, analyzed, and reviewed. Results Psammoma body is unique pathological calcification in some tumors, which is arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically. Psammoma body is commonly seen in thyroid papillary carcinoma, meningiomas, ovarian serous papillary carcinoma, and so on. Conclusions Although arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically in tumor, the formation process of psammoma body is not entirely the same in different tumors. A comprehensive and objective understanding of psammoma body would be useful in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
A review of 426 patients with retinoblastoma(RB)who presented to Eye Hospital of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from 1966 to 1991 showed that 81(19.01%)patients were more than or equal to 5 years of age(median age 6.95 years)at the time of initial diagnosis.All patients are unilateral except 4 cases who are bilateral.The main presentations included leukocoria,exophthalmos,congertion and pain of the eye,drcreased vision,strabismus,oculare hypertension,vitreous opacity,hypopyon and hyphema,etc.Some atypical presentations in these older patients with RB were discussed and some problems that should be noticed in the diagnosis and management were presented.discussed and some problems that should be noticed in the diagnosis and management were presented. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:205-206）
The therapeutic effect of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) was determined by a number of factors. Comprehensive thorough analysis of clinical features, imaging results and treatment response can predict the potential efficacy and possible vision recovery for the patient, and also can optimize the treatment regime to make a personalized therapy plan. Precise medicine with data from genomics, proteomics and metabolomics study will provide more objective and accurate biology basis for individual precise treatment. The future research should focus on comprehensive assessment of factors affecting the efficacy of anti-VEGF therapy, to achieve individualized precise diagnosis and treatment, to improve the therapeutic outcome of nAMD.
目的 探讨胰头癌侵犯肠系膜上动脉时行根治性切除的可行性。方法 采用联合将受侵犯的肠系膜上动脉一并切除的胰十二指肠切除术，肠系膜上动脉断端与腹主动脉端侧吻合方式重建。 结果 患者术后恢复顺利，已随访14个月，仍存活。 结论 肠系膜上动脉侵犯的胰头癌仍可行扩大的胰十二指肠切除术，并可延长患者的生存时间和提高生活质量。
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and carbohydrate antigen 50 (CA50) in colorectal carcinoma, cancer-adjacent mucosa （2 cm from the nether edge of tumor）, cancerdistant mucosa （5 cm from the nether edge of tumor） and normal colorectal mucosa, and to elucidate their effects on the development of colorectal carcinoma. MethodsThe expressions of MMP2 and CA50 were detected immunohistochemically in 40 cases of colorectal carcinoma, cancer-adjacent mucosa, cancer-distant mucosa and 10 cases of normal colorectal mucosa. Results①The expression intensity and positive rates of MMP-2 and CA50 increased significantly in turn by normal mucosa, cancer-distant mucosa, cancer-adjacent mucosa and colorectal carcinoma. ②The expression of MMP2 was correlated with CA50 in colorectal carcinoma. ③The expression of CA50 in colorectal carcinoma was closely associated with tumor differentiation, and the expression of MMP2 in colorectal carcinoma was closely associated with differentiation and Dukes stages as well. ConclusionOver expression of MMP2 facilitates the malignant progress of colorectal carcinoma; CA50 is a reliable marker of malignance in colorectal carcinoma; CA50 and MMP2 may have synergetic effects on the development of colorectal carcinoma.
