METHODS: Forty-six hybrid Landrace pigs were divided into two groups (donors and recipients) randomly, and pancreatoduodenal allotransplantation was performed. Donors were perfused via abdominal aorta without clamping the portal venous outflow with UW solution at 80-100 cm H2O after heparinization. Whole pancreatoduodenal grafts were harvested with segments of abdominal aorta and portal vein, and shaped under 4℃ UW solution. Then, end-to-end anastomosis was performed with the donor iliac artery bifurcation Y graft to the recipient superior mesenteric artery and celiac artery. Furthermore, type I diabetes model was made by removal of the recipient pancreas. The venous anastomosis was reconstructed between the donor portal vein and the recipient superior mesentery vein. Meanwhile, end-toside anastomosis was performed with the donor common iliac artery bifurcation Y graft to the recipient abdominal aorta, and side-to-side intestinal anastomosis was performed between the donor duodenum and the recipient jejunum. External jugular vein was intubated for transfusion. Levels of plasma glucose, insulin and glucagon were measured during the operation and on the 1^st 3^rd 5^th and 7^th d after operation. RESULTS: Pancreatoduodenal allotransplantation was performed on 23 pigs of which 1 died of complication of anesthesia. The success rate of operation was 95.6%. Complications of operation occurred in two cases in which one was phlebothrombosis with an incidence of 4.6%, and the other was duodenojejunal anastomotic leak with an incidence of 4.6%. The level of plasma glucose decreased within 30 min, after removal of pancreas and recovered on the 2^nd after operation. The level of plasmainsulin and glucagon increased within 30 min after removal of pancreas and recovered on the 2^nd d after operation. Rejection occurred on the 1^st and reached the worst level on the 7^th d after transplantation, without change of plasma insulin and glucagon or clinical symptoms of rejection. CONCLUSION: Pancreatoduodenal transplantation in pigs can treat type I diabetes. ED and PVD can keep the function of endocrine in normal. The technique of pancreatoduodenal transplantation with ED and PVD may pave the way for the further application of pancreas transplantation in clinic.展开更多

The aim of this paper is to study the behaviour of the superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) within Hepaspheres? microparticles (MP) by MRI when they are submitted to negative pressure induced by venous drainage of a tumor. Therefore, a venous drainage model was established and three parameters were taken into account according to physiologic parameters in tumors: pH, temperature and flow blood rate. Four cycles of pumping were performed with the presence of labeled Hepaspheres? with Endorem?. Several MR images of MP and perfusion liquid were taken before and after pumping. Endorem? release was determined after correction of non-uniformity intensities in MR images. Intensity variation according to spatial position, coil and MR acquisition parameters was studied. Labeled microparticles (LB*MP) appeared as black spots in MRI images whatever duration and pH. Our model demonstrates the stability of the SPIO inside the occlusion agent during time. Moreover, the proposed correction method proves the reduction of the intensity non-uniformity in MRI images.展开更多

The sinusoidal portion of its endothelium contains muscle cells in adults. Is this the same presentation observed in fetuses? Objective: To describe the sigmoido-jugular junction in fetuses. Materials and Methods: Over a period of seven months, a histochemical and immunohistochemical study was conducted on 30 sigmoido-jugular junctions taken from 15 fetuses aged at least 32 weeks of gestation. These fetuses were obtained following expulsion due to intrauterine death, after informed consent from the parents. Results: Three portions can be identified: sigmoid, junctional, and jugular. Histochemical preparations revealed the existence of two constant layers and a third layer present only at the jugular level. From the inside out, the layers are as follows: 1) Inner Layer (Endothelium): This layer is clearer from the junction and reveals the presence of smooth muscle cells at the sigmoid level in immunohistochemistry. 2) Outer Layer: At the sigmoid and junctional levels, this layer consists of collagen fibers and becomes median at the jugular level, where it is composed of elastic and muscular collagen fibers. 3) Third Layer: Present only at the jugular level, this layer corresponds to the adventitia. Conclusion: The architecture of the sigmoido-jugular junction in fetuses, which is identical to that in adults, excludes the metaplastic hypothesis regarding endothelial smooth muscle cells in the sigmoid portion. Instead, it favors their role in regulating encephalic venous drainage.展开更多

Methods From January 1985 to May 2008, 127 patients [56 men and 71 women, aged 14-55 years with an average of (26.79±10.62) years] with APVD underwent surgical treatments. Among them, 13 patients had simple partial APVD with intact atrial septum, 104 patients had partial APVD with atrial septal defect and 10 patients had total APVD. Seventy-one patients of them accompanied with other cardiac anomalies which were also corrected in their operations. Results One early operative death due to severe low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) developed postoperatively, which resulted in a mortality rate of 0.78%. Among other patients, 10 patients complicated with LCOS, 11 patients with arrhythmia, 7 patients with acute renal failure and 4 patients with poor wound healing, all discharged from hospital after treatment. Postoperative echocardiography reexamination revealed 1 case of mild residual shunt in atrial septum but without pulmonary vein stenosis. Conclusion For right atrial and ventricle enlarged patients with or without pulmonary hypertension, surgeons should be vigilance of accompanied APVD whether atrial septal defects exist or not. As long as no contraindications are found, surgical treatment should be performed once accurate diagnosis is obtained.展开更多

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether chest tubes placed in different cavities during the surgery would contribute to the drainage and also to evaluate risk factors of thoracic drainage with central venous catheter after total cavopulmonary connection in the era of the central venous catheter. Methods From January 2009 to June 2012, 109 consecutive patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection at Guangdong General Hospital. With 102 patients for investigation, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors were obtained. Thoracic drainage with central venous catheter was whenever necessary. Duration of chest tube drainage and time of thoracic drainage with central venous catheter added up to total duration of pleural drainage. Binary logistic regression using forward LR method was applied for the analysis of the risk factors for thoracic drainage with central venous catheter. Results After total cavopulmonary connection, compared with chest tubes placed in single pleural cavity with or without pericardial or retrosternal cavity, those in both pleural cavities seemed to have the chance of longer hospital stay (P = 0.028). No other significant differences were obtained in factors of ventilation time, extubated central venous pressure in superior vena cava, ICU stay, total duration of pleural drainage. Sildenafil was the preventive factor for reducing central venous pressure and preventing from postoperative pleural effusion. Conclusions After total cavopulmonary connection, patients with tubes placed in both pleural cavities would not have the chance of shorter total duration of pleural drainage and surprisingly turns out to have longer hospital stay. Sildenafil is a preventive factor for thoracic drainage with central venous catheter.展开更多

文摘Background Pleural effusion after the Fontan operation contributes significantly to morbidity and prolonged hospitalization. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether chest tubes placed in different cavities during the surgery would contribute to the drainage and also to evaluate risk factors of thoracic drainage with central venous catheter after total cavopulmonary connection in the era of the central venous catheter. Methods From January 2009 to June 2012, 109 consecutive patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection at Guangdong General Hospital. With 102 patients for investigation, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors were obtained. Thoracic drainage with central venous catheter was whenever necessary. Duration of chest tube drainage and time of thoracic drainage with central venous catheter added up to total duration of pleural drainage.

Results After total cavopulmonary connection, compared with chest tubes placed in single pleural cavity with or without pericardial or retrosternal cavity, those in both pleural cavities seemed to have the chance of longer hospital stay (P = 0.028). No other significant differences were obtained in factors of ventilation time, extubated central venous pressure in superior vena cava, ICU stay, total duration of pleural drainage. Sildenafil was the preventive factor for reducing central venous pressure and preventing from postoperative pleural effusion. Conclusions After total cavopulmonary connection, patients with tubes placed in both pleural cavities would not have the chance of shorter total duration of pleural drainage and surprisingly turns out to have longer hospital stay. Sildenafil is a preventive factor for thoracic drainage with central venous catheter.
