Objective:To compare the predictive ability of SpO 2/FiO 2(S/F) and ROX index on the failure of high-flow nasal cannula(HFNC)therapy in children with acute respiratory failure after congenital heart disease surgery, and to identify the best cut-off point. Methods:Through a case-control study, the clinical data of 371 children with acute respiratory failure after congenital heart surgery treated with HFNC admitted to Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The primary outcome was the need for re-intubation within 48 h after extubation of invasive ventilation.The ability of S/F and ROX index to predict HFNC failure was compared, and the optimal cut-off point was determined based on the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 371 children were included, of whom 27 (7.3%) eventually required mechanical ventilation within 48 h. The S/F prediction accuracy was highest after 6 h of HFNC treatment(AUC=0.712, 95% CI 0.599-0.825, P=0.001), and the best cut-off point for S/F was 178 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)(sensitivity 74.9%, specificity 69.6%). Whereas the prediction accuracy of the ROX index was highest after 12 hours of HFNC treatment, the AUC was 0.737(95% CI 0.623-0.851, P=0.002), and the best cut-off point of the ROX index was 5.865(sensitivity 72.4% specificity 66.7%). The difference in AUC between S/F after 6 h of HFNC treatment and ROX after 12 h was not statistically significant ( P=0.444), with higher sensitivity and specificity, and earlier prediction time(6 hours) in the former. Conclusion:Children with acute respiratory failure after congenital heart surgery have a strong predictive ability of S/F after 6 h of HFNC treatment, and the risk of HFNC treatment failure is higher in children with S/F <178 mmHg.

Objective:To summarize the results of surgical treatment for complete atrioventricular septal defect(CAVSD) in early and middle stages.Methods:147 children with CAVSD in Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center from January 2010 to December 2019 were selected, Males 85, females 62, median age of surgery 5 months(1 months-10 years old), median body mass 5.5 kg(2.4-20.9 kg). Complete atrioventricular septal defect was diagnosed by ultrasonic cardiogram before surgery. All the children underwent atrial ventricular valve formation and underwent simultaneous repair.Outpatient follow-up was planned.Ultrasonic cardiogram and electrocardiogram were performed. SPSS 22 statistical software was used for data analysis.Results:All 147 CAVSD patients underwent one-time surgical correction.Early postoperative death occurred in 7 cases(4.76%). The causes of death were: 3 cases of pulmonary hypertension crisis, 3 cases of severe mitral insufficiency(MI), 1 case of postoperative malignant arrhythmia, and the rest of the children were cured and discharged. Permanent pacemaker was installed in 3 patients due to atrioventricular block(AVB). The follow-up time was 1-10 years old, and 2 patients died in late stage: 1 patient did not seek medical treatment in time due to infection, and 1 patient had unknown cause. Five patients underwent secondary surgery: 4 due to severe mitral/tricuspid insufficiency(MI/TI) and 1 due to delayed AVB. The mid-term follow-up showed 9 cases of severe MI and 4 cases of severe TI. Compared with children with surgical age<3 months and ≥3 months, there were statistically significant differences in postoperative ventilator-assisted ventilation time, severe MI before postoperative discharge and total mortality between the two groups( P<0.05). Mid-term follow-up results showed no difference between the two groups. There were statistically significant differences in surgical age, postoperative CICU stay time and total hospital stay between the children with trisomy 21-syndrome and those without trisomy 21-syndrome( P<0.05), and there was no difference between the two groups in mid-term follow-up results. Residual shunt of 1-3 mm VSD was found in 29 cases, 26 cases were closed during follow-up, and 3 cases had smaller residual shunt. Conclusion:Modified single patch technique treatment of CAVSD has good effect, low mortality and low re-operation rate. But age <3 months group, infant mortality was significantly increased, the duration of postoperative mechanical assisted ventilation was prolonged, and the proportion of early postoperative severe MI was high.Severe MI and TI is easy to occur after CAVSD, which requires long-term follow-up and timely treatment. The children with trisomy 21-syndrome were similar to those with normal chromosome except for longer stay in ICU and total hospital stay.
Résumé
Caudal type homeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2) is an enteric-specific nuclear transcription factor, which is mainly expressed in the small intestine and colorectum and not expressed in normal gastric mucosa. CDX2 is involved in the occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis of gastrointestinal tumors, and its expression state is related to the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal tumors. It is expected to provide a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tumors by further studying the mechanism of CDX2 involvement in tumor genesis and development and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis.
