Methods: Data from 21 patients who underwent TVR from December 2002 to March 2009 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The mean age was 48.86± 15.37 years (range: 20-72 years). The underlying disease of the patients was classified as rheumatic (n = 10), congenital (n = 8), endocarditis (n = 2) or chest trauma (n = 1). Previous cardiac surgery had been performed in 12 patients (57.14%). Results: In-hospital death occurred in two patients (9.52%). Postoperative morbidities included cardiac failure (n = 2), bleeding related re-operation (n = 1), and plural effusion (n = 2). Conclusion: The early outcomes of TVR were acceptable. At the present time TVR can be performed through optimal perioperative management.展开更多

T oday,cross - cultural adaptation becomes a common social issue,and arouses general concern of the whole society. Influencing factors of cross - cultural adaptation include cultural distance,personality psychology,thinking pattern,values,social living environment,social support,know ledge & skills,pragmatic transfer etc. Based on making clear the problems,cross - cultural adaptation should be realized from multiple aspects.展开更多
