ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of early death after lung transplantation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 134 patients with IPF and PAH who underwent lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. The donor's gender, age, duration of mechanical ventilation, and cold ischemia time, the recipient's gender, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, history of hypertension and diabetes, preoperative usage of hormones, mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), cardiac echocardiography and cardiac function, serum creatinine (SCr), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as well as surgical type, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment, duration of operation, and plasma and red blood cell infusion ratio were collected. The cumulative survival rates of patients at 30, 60, and 180 days after lung transplantation were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze the effects of donor, recipient, and surgical factors on early survival in donors after lung transplantation.Results:The majority of donors were male (80.6%). There was 63.4% of the donors older than 35 years old, 80.6% of the donors had mechanical ventilation duration less than 10 days, and the median cold ischemia time was 465.00 (369.25, 556.25) minutes. The recipients were mainly males (83.6%). Most of the patients were younger than 65 years old (70.9%). Most of them had no hypertension (75.4%) or diabetes (67.9%). The median mPAP of recipients was 36 (30, 43) mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa). There were 73 patients with single lung transplantation (54.5%), and 61 with double lung transplantation (45.5%). The survival rates of 134 IPF patients with PAH at 30, 60, 180 days after lung transplantation were 81.3%, 76.9%, and 67.4%, respectively. Univariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis showed that recipient preoperative use of hormone [hazard ratio ( HR) = 2.079, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.048-4.128], mPAP ≥ 35 mmHg ( HR = 2.136, 95% CI was 1.129-4.044), NT-proBNP ≥ 300 ng/L ( HR = 2.411, 95% CI was 1.323-4.392), New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( HR = 3.021, 95% CI was 1.652-5.523) were the risk factors of early postoperative death in patients with IPF complicated with PAH (all P < 0.05). In the multivariable Cox proportional risk regression analysis, recipient preoperative hormone usage (model 1: HR = 2.072, 95% CI was 1.044-4.114, P = 0.037; model 2: HR = 2.098, 95% CI was 1.057-4.165, P = 0.034), NT-proBNP ≥ 300 ng/L ( HR = 2.246, 95% CI was 1.225-4.116, P = 0.009) and NYHA cardiac function classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ ( HR = 2.771, 95% CI was 1.495-5.134, P = 0.001) were independent risk factors of early postoperative death in patients with IPF. Conclusions:Preoperative hormone usage, NT-proBNP ≥ 300 ng/L, NYHA cardiac function classification Ⅲ-Ⅳ are independent risk factors for early death in patients with IPF and PAH after lung transplantation. For these patients, attention should be paid to optimize their functional status before operation. Preoperative reduction of receptor hormone usage and improvement of cardiac function can improve the early survival rate of such patients after lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Lung transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage lung diseases in children, and the only treatment for children with no response to conservative treatment.However, merely a few transplantation centers at home and abroad can provide lung transplantation at present.The mortality of pediatric lung transplantation is high, and it is difficult for donor matching.Besides, it has many complications.In recent years, pediatric lung transplantation has made positive progress and technological breakthroughs in many aspects.In this article, research progress in pediatric lung transplantation at home and abroad was reviewed.

ABSTRACT

In view of the problems that conventional artificial cartilages have no bioactivity and are prone to peel off in repeated uses as a result of insufficient strength to bond with subchondral bone, we have designed and prepared a novel kind of PVA-BG composite hydrogel as bionic artificial articular cartilage/bone composite implants. The effects of processes and conditions of preparation on the mechanical properties of implant were explored. In addition, the relationships between compression strain rate, BG content, PVA hydrogels thickness and compressive tangent modulus were also explicated. We also analyzed the effects of cancellous bone aperture, BG and PVA content on the shear strength of bonding interface of artificial articular cartilage with cancellous bone. Meanwhile, the bonding interface of artificial articular cartilage and cancellous bone was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. It was revealed that the compressive modulus of composite implants was correspondingly increased with the adding of BG content and the augments of PVA hydrogel thickness. The compressive modulus and bonding interface were both related to the apertures of cancellous bone. The compressive modulus of composite implants was 1.6-2.23 MPa and the shear strength of bonding interface was 0.63-1.21 MPa. These results demonstrated that the connection between artificial articular cartilage and cancellous bone was adequately firm.
