Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, imposing a significant economic burden on society. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), as an emerging therapeutic strategy for MR, is expected to fill the gap in the treatment of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in the future. This article reviews the progress of TMVR clinical research both domestically and internationally in the past two years and analyzes the current challenges faced by TMVR research, such as mitral valve anatomy, device access transition, valve design, and mitral valve calcification. Finally, the prospects of mitral valve product research are discussed.
Objective To review the methods of metacarpal and phalange lengthening and to point out the problems at present as well as to predict the trend of development in the field. Methods Domestic and abroad l iterature concerning the methods of metacarpal and phalange lengthening in recent years was reviewed extensively and thoroughly analyzed. Results At present, there are many methods to treat the short finger disabil ity, but the methods of metacarpal and phalange lengthening have an advantage, which include closed osteotomy lengthening, callus-lengthening, and modified Il izarovmethod. Each surgical method has its advantages and l imitations. However, the part of osteotomy, the length and speed, and the postoperative compl ications etc. have been disputed. Conclusion The modified Il izarov method has the advantages of simple operation, minimal invasion, and less compl ications, but the long-term results of each treatment method are unknown and need more further studies.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the predictive factors of new-onset conduction abnormalities(NOCAs) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. MethodsThe CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMbase databases were electronically searched to collect the relevant studies on NOCAs after TAVR in patients with BAV from inception to December 5, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. ResultsSix studies involving 758 patients with BAV were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that age (MD=−1.48, 95%CI −2.73 to −0.23, P=0.02), chronic kidney disease (OR=0.14, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.34, P<0.01), preoperative left bundle branch block (LBBB) (OR=2.84, 95%CI 1.11 to 7.23, P=0.03), membranous septum length (MSL) (MD=0.93, 95%CI 0.05 to 1.80, P=0.04), implantation depth (ID) (MD=−2.06, 95%CI −2.96 to −1.16, P<0.01), the difference between MSL and ID (MD=3.05, 95%CI 1.92 to 4.18, P<0.01), and ID>MSL (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.49, P<0.01) could be used as predictors of NOCAs. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that age, chronic kidney disease, LBBB, MS, ID, the difference between MSL and ID, and ID>MSL could be used as predictors of NOCAs. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To discuss the concept of ulnar tunnel at thewrist, the types, causes, traits of compression, diagnosis, and clinical significance of ulnar tunnel syndrome(UTS). Methods Thirty-nine cases diagnosed as having UTS from 1986 were retrospectively reviewed combined with previous relevant literature. Results Ulnar tunnel included Guyon’s canal, pisohamate tunnel and hypothenar segment. There were 8 types andmany causes of UTS. Some patients had compression in more than one zones and might be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome. UTS could be diagnosed through clinical manifestations and electrophysiological examination. Conclusion Defining the concept of ulnar tunnel and the knowledge of the complexity and rarity of UTS can effectively guide diagnosis and treatment.
The 2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease not only updates aortic valve stenosis, mitral regurgitation, prosthetic valves, infective endocarditis and antithrombotic treatment on the basis of the 2017 guidelines update for valvular heart disease, but also involves aortic valve regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve, mitral stenosis, tricuspid regurgitation, combined valve disease, pregnancy with valvular disease, valve disease complicated with coronary heart disease, valve disease complicated with non-cardiac surgery and the prospect of comprehensive management of valve disease. It covers a wide range of contents, which are introduced in detail and comprehensively. This paper interprets some highlights and core issues, including the top 10 take-home messages, the severity of valvular heart disease, and the updates in the management of aortic valve stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve, mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of gefitinib versus pemetrexed as second-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsDatabases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2016), EMbase, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about gefitinib versus pemetrexed as second-line treatment for advanced NSCLC from inception to April 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 1 005 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the rate of progression free survival (PFS) in the gefitinib group was superior to the pemetrexed group (HR=0.59, 95%CI 0.47 to 0.73, P<0.000 01). However, there were no significant differences between two groups in overall response rate (RR=1.28, 95%CI 0.86 to 1.90, P=0.22), disease control rate (RR=0.92, 95%CI 0.77 to 1.12, P=0.41) and the rate of overall survival (HR=0.75, 95%CI 0.56 to 1.01, P=0.05). The incidences of skin rash (RR=8.72, 95% CI 3.65 to 20.84, P<0.000 01) and diarrhea (RR=2.87, 95% CI 1.29 to 6.38, P=0.01) were significantly higher, but the incidences of neutropenia (RR=0.12, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.26, P<0.000 01) and fatigue (RR=0.46, 95%CI 0.30 to 0.72, P=0.000 6) were lower in the gefitinib group than those in the pemetrexed group. ConclusionGefitinib shows more superiority to pemetrexed, and it can be used as the second-line drug for advanced NSCLC． Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
