ABSTRACT
Objective:To confirm the safety and feasibility of totally thoracoscopic repair with leaflet folding, multiple artificial chordae implantation and ring annuloplasty for mitral regurgitation(MR) in Barlow disease.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019, 10 consecutive Barlow’s disease patients underwent totally thoracoscopic repair with leaflet folding, multiple artificial chordae implantation and ring annuloplasty. The safety and feasibility of this technique was evaluated by its early clinical outcomes.Results:8 males and 2 females. The mean age was(33.5±11.0) years.There was no operative death and related complications. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) time was(142±26)(112-194)min, and the aortic clamping time was(96±18)(78-128) min. The average number of artificial chordae implantation was(3.4±0.7)(2-4) pairs/case. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) showed the mean mitral valve coaptation length and transvalvular pressure gradient was(1.2±0.2)(0.8-1.5) cm and(1.2±0.4) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, without MR or systolic anterior motion(SAM). During a follow-up of 1-18 months, there were 7 cases with no MR and 3 with trace MR, with a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of( 1.5±0.6 )mmHg.Conclusion:Totally thoracoscopic repair with leaflet folding, multiple artificial chordae implantation and ring annuloplasty was a safe and effective procedure with satisfied early clinical outcomes for MR in Barlow’s disease. However, further randomized and long-term follow-up studies were warranted to determine its clinical effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Reported our experience of 100 consecutive cases of thoracoscopic mitral valvuloplasty in the early period.Methods:Between September 2017 and December 2019, 100 consecutive cases of thoracoscopic mitral valvuloplasty had been completed in our institution. There were 56 males and 44 females. The mean age was(49.2±14.7) years old, ranging from 15 to 75 years old.The safety and feasibility of this technique was evaluated by its early clinical outcomes.Results:Mitral valve(MV) repair techniques included leaflet folding in 5 cases, cleft suture in 10, commissuroplasty in 15, edge to edge in 1, artificial chordae implantation in 76 cases with mean of(2.5±1.6)(1-4) pairs, and prosthetic annuloplasty in all cases. Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography(TEE) revealed no mitral regurgitation(MR) in 95 cases and a mild in 2 cases with all coaptation length more than 5 mm. The rest 3 cases with moderate or more MR were successfully reconstructed after being blocked again. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) time was(164.4±51.0 )min and aortic clamping time was(119.7 ± 39.1) min, and the latest 10 cases were(140.2±45.3 )min and(96.3±25.4) min, the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). There was one operative death for avulsion of left atrial suture after operation and 2 intraoperative re-exploration for bleeding. Severe MR was observed in 2 patients 3 months after operation, and mitral valve replacement(MVR) was performed through median sternotomy. Conclusion:Totally thoracoscopic mitral valvuloplasty is technically feasible, safe, effective and reproducible in clinical practice after crossing the learning curve. The short-term effect is satisfactory, however, further randomized and long-term follow-up studies are warranted to determine its clinical effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between characteristic parameters of photoplethysmography( PPG)and severity of coronary artery lesions.Methods Two hundred and twenty-six CHD patients who underwent CAG in our hospital from August 2018to November 2018were divided into single-vessel lesion group(n=55),double-vessel lesion group(n=74)and multi-vessel lesion group(n=97)according to their CAG.Their stiffness index(SI),crest time(CT),normalized crest time(NCT)and crest time ratio(CTR)were recorded by PPG and analyzed by correlation analysis.Results The SI was significantly different in single-vessel lesion group,double-vessel lesion group and multi-vessel lesion group(6.479±0.819m/s,6.692±1.051m/s and 6.943±1.096m/s,P=0.024).No significant difference was detected in CT,NCT and CTR among single-vessel lesion group,double-vessel lesion group and multi-vessel lesion group(P＞0.05).The SI was positively correlated with the severity of coronary artery lesions(r=0.162,P=0.015).Conclusion The SI is correlated with the severity of coronary artery lesions,which is of a certain value in predicting the severity of coronary artery lesions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To isolate and identify anti-tumor constituents from Lysimachia christinae Hance.Methods The compounds were isolated and purified by chromategraphy on AB-8 macroporous resin, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS and preparative HPLC.Their structures were elucidated using chemical and spectroscopic methods.All thecompounds obtained were evaluated on their growth inhibitory effects in vitro using the MTT method.Results Eleven compounds were isolated from the whole plant of L.christinae Hance and were identified as 3,3'-dimethoxy-6,6'-di[(Z)-pentadec-10-en-1-yl]-[1,1'-bi(cyclohexane)]-3,3',6,6'-tetraene-2,2',5,5'-tetraone(1),physcion(2),munjistin(3), 9,16-dioxooctadec-10,12,14-trienoic acid(4),cyclamiretinA-3-O-{β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-L-arabinopyranoside(5),lysikoianoside(6),quercetin-3-O-glucopyranoside(7),isorhamnetin3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside(8),3',4',5',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone(9), rutin(10), and quercetin(11).The screening results of antitumor activity in vitro showed that IC50 of compound 5 for human cervical carcinoma cells HeLa, human osteosarcoma cells U20S, human lung adenocarcinoma cells PC-9,and human colorectal carcinoma cells CT-26 was 2.29, 1.22, 1.43, and 1.29 μmol/L respectively.Conclusion Compound 1 is a new compound and compounds 2-4 are isolated from the plants of Lysimachia for the first time.Compound 5 shows obvious inhibitory effects on tumor cell growth in vitro.
