ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the effect of supra-arch branches bypass combined with endovascular aortic repair for aortic diseases.Methods From January 2012 to August 2015,120 cases of thoracic aortic diseases (aortic dissection 103,aortic aneurysm 16,penetrating aortic ulcer 1) received hybrid operation in Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute.Vascular bypass was established among the brachiocephalic arteries,followed by endovascular repair through femoral artery either one-stage or two-stage.Patients were followed up for 3-24 months.Results Technical success was achieved among all the patients.Five patients died after the operation(one patient had retrograde aortic dissection,2 patients had pericardial tamponade,one patient had apnea,and one patient had respiratory and cardiac arrest.The death rate is 4.1％),4 patients had stroke,among them,symptoms were relieved in three patients,one patient was not cured.Total 92 patients were followed-up and had no symptoms of up-limb ischemia or dizziness.CT scan showed bypass graft and endovascular stent patency.6 patients had endoleak (type Ⅰ b 2 cases,type Ⅱ 3 cases,and type Ⅲ 1 case),distal aortic dissection occurred in one patient,three patients had mild contrast agent leakage around the distal endovascular stent,type A aortic dissection occurred in one patient,there were no late stage death.Conclusion Supraarch branches bypass combined with endovascular aortic repair for treating aortic disease is minimally invasive,safe,and can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the establishment of stable mice orthotopic left lung transplant model MethodsForty male Balb/c mice randomly served as recipients and donors.Each couple had the similar weight. Three-cuff technique was used to establish mice orthotopic lung transplant model.The micro CT of chest and the artery blood analysis were detected at first month after transplantation.ResultsThe achievement ratio was 95％.More than 90％ of the recipients survived after surgery.Cold ischemia time was (35.6±5.9) min,warm ischemia time was (25.3±7.2) min,donor lung back up time was (21.0±5.6) min,and the whole surgery time was (85±15)min.The long-term survival time achieved more than 30 days with functional lung graft.Micro CT showed clear left lung graft field one month after surgery,and left bronchus cuff was still open.The PaO2 of the artery blood was ( 106.9±5.8 ) mmHg before clipping right lung hlium,and after clipping that was (105.0±8.7) mmHg with the difference being not significant between them (P＞0.05).Histologically,the lung graft appeared very similar to the right lung one month after surgery.The pulmonary alveoli were aerated well.ConclusionBased on our experience of the orthotopic lung transplantation model in mice,through practicing,we independently and successfully established orthotopic lung transplantation model in mice.Compared to the method established by the other country,our method is easier to perform and more stable.This will benefit the basic research related to lung transplantation.
ABSTRACT
In order to provide us new clues to induce some endogenous protective molecular mechanisms, the changes in gene expression profile induced by ischemia-reperfusion in pulmonary tissues of rats were investigated and the dynamic mechanism of pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury was elucidated. Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: 5 ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) groups (I/R 0-h, I/R 1-h, I/R 3-h, I/R 6-h, I/R 24-h) and control group (n=5 in each). An in situ ischemia-reperfusion lung injury rat model was established by occluded hilus of lung. The RatRef-12 Expression Beadchip (22 226 gene probes per array) was used to analyze the pattern of gene expression in all groups. The results showed that 648, 340, 711, 1279 and 641 genes were differentially expressed in I/R 0-, 1-, 3-, 6-and 24-h groups respectively. The differentially expressed genes were classified as following 7 functional categories: cytokine, adhesion molecule, growth factor and apoptosis-related factor, oxidation and antioxidation molecule, metabolic enzyme, ion channel and aquaporin, signal transduction molecule. It was suggested that gene chip technology was an effective and quick method for screening differentially expressed genes. Many differentially expressed genes with different functions interacted each other to result in pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT
In order to establish more simple and effective rat orthotopic lung transplantation models, 20 rats were divided into donor and recipient groups. Rat lung transplantation models were established by using improved cuff technique. All the 10 operations were accomplished successfully. The mean operative time of recipients was 45 +/- 4 min. The survival time was over 30 days after lung transplantation. The checks of X-ray were almost normal. There was no significant difference in the blood gas analysis before and after clipping the right hilum (P > .05). This method is more simple, applicable and requires less time.
