ObjectiveTo summarize our experience of surgical treatment for right pulmonary artery originated from the ascending aorta by using adult diameter artificial vascular and study the operative indication, design, method, and therapeutic efficacy. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 11 patients with right pulmonary artery originated from ascending aorta in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from May 2008 through December 2013, who were treated by using adult diameter artificial vascular. The patients ranged from 4 months to 25 months old, weighted 4-15 kg. Among of them, 4 patients had persistent truncus arteriosus and 7 had aortopulmonary septal defect. All patients were complicated with moderate pulmonary hypertension. All the patients underwent one stage surgical repair under extracorporeal circulation and cardiac arrest. During the surgery, end to side anastomosis was done between the right pulmonary artery and 16-18 mm diameter artificial blood vessels. And artificial blood vessel was connected to the main pulmonary artery or right ventricle outflow tract incision from the aorta above. ResultsThe average operation time was 179-325 (224±68) min. The average cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time was 81-208 (117±54) min. The average aortic clamping time was 29-63(42±21) min. The mean residence time in ICU was 71-197 (109±42) hours. The average assisted mechanical ventilator time was 59-191 (91±26) hours. The average length of stay in hospital was 21-39 (28±11) days. Low cardiac output syndromes caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension occurred in 5 patients including 2 deaths and 3 patients with good recovery by reducing the pulmonary arterial pressure and peritoneal dialysis. The result of postoperative cardiac color ultrasound examination of 9 survival patients showed vascular prosthesis, no distortion, no stenosis of the anastomosis, deformity correction satisfaction. Nine patients were followed up for 3-60 months. The results of echocardiography showed no anastomosis and artificial vascular stenosis, and the pulmonary arterial pressure decreased significantly. ConclusionThe right pulmonary artery originated from the ascending aorta in children should be operated as soon as possible. Compared the adult diameter artificial vascular treatment for one stage repair of right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta with other operation methods, both short-term and long-term effects are good. Postoperative low cardiac output syndrome is a common complication.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and incidence of residual leakage after surgical repair of large ventricular septal defects with moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension using cross-linkage mattress suture, a suture method invented by us, as compared with interrupted mattress suture. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 41 patients of large ventricular septal defect with moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension underwent surgery using cross-linkage mattress suture in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from February 2011 through April 2013. The 41 patients were as a cross-linkage group (average age 18.7±12.3 years, the ratio of male to female 31:10). Another 41 patients, who were repaired using interrupted mattress suture, were retrospectively chosen by matching age, size and location of the defects, pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance with members from the cross-linkage group, and were assigned as a control group (average age 17.4±11.8 years, the ratio of male to female 31:10). ResultsThere was no operative mortality and no new perioperative atrioventricular conduction block. Postoperative echocardiography revealed the incidence of residual leakage was 31.7% (13/41) in the control group, 0% (0/41) in the cross-linkage group with a statistical difference (χ2=13.164, P=0.000). With a follow-up of 18.2±6.1 months, no late death and no new atrioventricular conduction block occurred. There was no statistical difference in New York Heart Association functional class or pulmonary artery pressure measured through echocardiography between the two groups. While there was a statistical difference in incidence of residual leakage between the the cross-linkage group and the control group (0% (0/41) versus 26.8% (11/41), χ2=10.499, P=0.001). ConclusionThere is a high incidence of residual leakage after the surgical repair of large ventricular septal defect complicated with moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension using interrupted mattress suture, while the use of cross-linkage mattress suture can effectively reduce the incidence of residual leakage.

Objective To analyze surgical treatment and clinicopathologic features of remnant gastric cancer,and to recognize the strategies of treatment. Methods The clinical data of 26 cases patients with remnant gastric cancer diagnosed by endoscopy and pathological examination and underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital between January 2004 and March 2011.In this study,14 cases of remnant gastric cancer from benign disease （RGCB） and 12 cases of remnant gastric cancer after stomach cancer operation （RGCC） were included.The clinical findings,Helicobacter pylori （HP） infection,surgical methods, histopathological features,and prognosis were analyzed.Results The patients developed a carcinoma in the gastric remnant about 15-44 years after operation for benign disease （median 26.3 years） and about 1-10.5 years after gastric cancer operation （median 4 years）,and there was significant differences of the two groups（P＜0.05）.HP infection of the gastric remnant was found in 73.1%（19/26） patients,and infection rate of patients was 71.4%（10/14） in RGCB and 75.0%（9/12） in RGCC, but there was no statistical different in two groups （P＞0.05）.All 26 patients underwent surgical procedure,and the rate of radical resection was 46.2% （12/26）, which was 57.1% （8/14） in RGCB and 33.3% （4/12） in RGCC respectively,there was no statistical different （P＞0.05）.Among the 12 cases underwent radical resection, the highest lymphatic metastasis rate was in No.3 group （83.3%， 10/12）,which came in second in lymph node of mesojejunum or splenic hilum （33.3%， 4/12）.Postoperative pathological staging was as follows：stageⅠin 3 cases, stageⅡ in 2 cases, stage Ⅲ in 14 cases and stage Ⅳ in 7 cases. In 18 patients underwent tumor excision,the metastasis of lymph node occurred in 13 cases （72.2%）,and the pancreas,transverse colon,or spleen were invaded in 13 cases according to histopathological results. Meanwhile,peritoneal metastasis were founded in 8 cases patients,and the peritoneal metastasis rate of patients with RGCB （14.3%；2/14） was significantly lower than that with RGCC （50.0%， 6/12）, P＜0.05.The overall one-year survival rate and three-year survival rate was 54.5% and 38.5%,respectively, and the survival time was 2-61 months （median 12 months）.Survival analysis indicated that pathological stage and radical resection were significant prognostic factors for patients with remnant gastric cancer（P＜0.01）,and radical resection was an independent prognostic factor （P＜0.05）,while age,gender,disease of first operation, degree of differentiation and HP infection were not （P＞0.05）. Conclusions Early detection and standard radical resection are the key factor to improve the prognosis of patients with remnant gastric cancer and laparoscopic exploration may minimize unnecessary injures of surgery.Because of the different clinical characteristics,strategy of treatment for RGCC and RGCB shall be discriminatory.
ObjectiveTo summarize recent research advancement on radically surgical therapy of carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas． MethodsRelevant literatures about radically surgical therapy of carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas were collected and reviewed． ResultsRecent experimental researches indicated that distal pancreatectomy was the common used surgical way to treat carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas. Besides， spleenpreserving distal pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac axis resection, and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy were also the choices to the treatment of carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas. ConclusionThe surgical way to treat carcinoma of the body and tail of pancreas has advanced for these years, but furthermore development requires more great efforts.
Objective To explore the diagnosis and relapse factors of thyroid cancer. Methods Two hundreds fifty-six cases of thyroid cancer approved by surgery and pathology from 1999 to 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Two hundred and thirty-five cases were approved papillary thyroid carcinoma (91.8%)，11 cases were follicular thyroid carcinoma (4.3%)， 7 cases were medullary thyroid carcinoma (2.7%)， 3 cases were anaplastic thyroid cancer (1.2%). All patients underwent surgery. The operation procedures included thyroidectomy and lymph nodes dissection in central zone of affecting side and subtotal thyroidectomy of contralateral side. Total or subtotal thyroidectomy of both sides and the dissection in unilateral or bilateral Ⅵ region lymph nodes or functional cervical lymph nodes dessection plus contralateral side Ⅵ region lymph nodes dissection in multi-focal cancer and double leaf gland cancer. Functional cervical lymph nodes dessection if existing lymph nodes metastasis or thyroid cancer invading anterior cervical muscle. Two hundreds twentyeight cases were followed up with complete clinical information about (6.5±1.3) years (3-9 years). Six cases died during follow-up because of relapse or metastasis.Conclusions Imaging evaluation is the main method for diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Needle biopsy is reliable and accurate for diagnosis of thyroid tumor. Diameter of tumor is related with cervical lymph node metastasis. Patho-type and stage of tumor, local invasion extent, lymph node metastasis and operation procedure are related with the relapse closely.
