Research on the anti-calcification function property of bovine jugular vein conduit cross-linked by dye-mediated photooxidation / 中国医师杂志

Objective To study the anti-calcification function properties of bovine jugular conduit with valves stabilized by dye-mediated photooxidation.Methods Sixteen bovine jugular conduit with valves were divided into two groups and treated with dye-mediated photooxidation(groupⅠ) and glutaraldehyde(group Ⅱ).The bovine jugular vein was cut into pieces and implanted subcutaneously in the 16 weanling SD rats.After 90 days,all the rats were sacrificed and the retrieved specimens were undergone histological examination by electron microscope and microscope.The calcium content was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer.Results The walls and valves of bovine jugular vein treated by dye-mediated photooxidation had less calcification than those of the group Ⅱ.Conclusion The dye-mediated photooxidation can effectively preserve the calcification of bovine jugular conduit with valves compared with the way treated by glutaraldehyde.

Surgical Treatment of Univentricule / 中国医师杂志

Objectives To review the experience of surgical treatment of univentricule.Methods 26 patients with univentricule underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 cases of total cavopulmonary connection, 8 cases of bi-directional Glenn shunt and one case of pulmonary artery banding.Results Followed-up for 6～30 monthes(mean 11 months) showed 4 early postoperative death,there was mortality of 15 4%,no advanced death.Conclusions The result of this study suggests that surgical outcome is related to the selection of proper surgical indicators,perioperative management and complete correction of cardiac deformity.
