Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of autologous platelet separation (APS) in different time courses of cardiovascular surgery.Methods:The relevant data of 75 patients with cardiovascular surgery from September 2019 to August 2021 in Hunan Provincial Peoples′ Hospital were collected retrospectively. They were divided into two groups according to whether APS was used during the operation: group A used APS (37 cases) and group B did not use APS (38 cases). The two groups were divided into subgroups according to the length of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB): A1 and B1 were medium and short-term groups (CPB bypass time ≤200 min), and A2 and B2 were long-term groups (CPB bypass time >200 min). Blood routine, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative blood product infusion volume and thromboelastogram at different time points were recorded and compared.Results:The postoperative drainage volume, red blood cell infusion volume and ventilator assisted time in group A were less than those in group B (all P<0.05); The postoperative drainage volume [(645.79±205.25)ml vs (886.67±360.96)ml, P=0.006], erythrocyte infusion volume [(3.24±2.53)U vs (4.77±1.97)U, P=0.016], platelet infusion volume [0.00(0.00, 0.00)U vs 1.00(0.125, 2.00)U, P=0.002] and thromboelastogram coagulation reaction time [(7.38±1.74)min vs (9.09±3.57)min, P=0.047] in group A2 were significantly better than those in group B2 (all P<0.05); There were no significant difference in the above indexes between A1 and B1 group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:APS can improve the coagulation function of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and reduce the amount of bleeding and blood products. Its protective effect is more prominent in high-risk cardiovascular surgery with long cardiopulmonary bypass and complex operation.

Objective:To establish a radiological classification system for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation in adults and evaluate its credibility.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed to analyze the clinical and radiological data of 132 patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury without cervical fracture or dislocation admitted to Huashan Hospita，Fudan University from January 2010 to December 2018. There were 97 males and 35 females，aged 18-82 years［（57.4±17.8）years］. The radiological classification system of acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation in adults was established based on spinal cord compression and its compressors，and the disco-ligamentous complex（DLC）injury. The number，age and causes of injury of each subtype were further analyzed. Another 24 patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation were collected and assessed to calculate the Kappa coefficient for credibility assessment in the radiological classification by orthopedic surgeons who did not participate in the establishment of the classification.Results:The radiological classification system of acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation in adults included types I-IV. Type I was the cervical spinal cord significantly compressed by the existed pathological factors such as the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine and/or cervical spinal canal stenosis before the injury；Type II was the cervical spinal cord significantly compressed by traumatic disc herniation and/or epidural hematoma；Type III was the spinal cord without obvious compression，but with definite DLC injury；Type IV was the spinal cord without obvious compression，accompanied with no or only suspicious DLC injury. Type I and type II could be with or without DLC injury. Eighty-three patients（62.9%）were classified as type I，with the age of（62.2±15.7）years，and the main cause of injury was fall injury（37 patients，44.6%），followed by traffic injury（31 patients，37.3%）. Seventy patients（12.9%）were classified as type II，with the age of（55.8±13.4）years，and the traffic injury（9 patients，52.9%）and fall injury（5 patients，29.4%）were more common. Twenty-four patients（18.2%）were classified as type III，with the age of（53.6±16.3）years，and the main causes of injury were fall injury（9 patients，37.5%）and traffic injury（8 patients，33.3%）. Eight patients（6.1%）were classified as type IV，with the age of（37.4±11.6）years，and the main causes of injury were traffic injury（4 patients，50.0%）and sports injury（3 patients，37.5%）. The credibility assessment of the radiological classification of acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation in adults showed that the consistency percentage was 79.2%-87.5%（mean，81.2%）among different observers. The Kappa coefficient was 0.691-0.866（mean，0.789），and the credibility was basically credible（0.61-0.80）.Conclusions:The established radiological classification system of acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation in adults has a good degree of credibility. Variances in age and causes of injury of each type suggest a good guidance value for clinical classification of acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture and dislocation in adults.

Objective:To discuss the safety and effectiveness of del Nido cardioplegia solution in severe valvular surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 138 patients of severe valvular disease underwent valve replacement or valvuloplasty in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital between July 2019 and December 2020 was performed. According to the different cardioplegic solution used, patients were separated in two groups: the del Nido cardioplegia group (D group, n=73) and the St. Thomas cardioplegia group (C group, n=65). The perioperative clinical results of the two groups were compared to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of del Nido cardioplegia in the operation of severe valvular disease. Results:Preoperative characteristics were similar between the two groups, including gender, age, body weight, ejection fraction, and myocardial markers ( P>0.05). No statistical differences were noted in cardiopulmonary bypass time, clamp time, mechanical ventilation time, vasoactive drug use time, ICU and hospital stay time, and ejection fraction before discharge ( P>0.05). However, the times of cardioplegia perfusion [(1.33±0.47)times vs (4.08±0.48)times] and the total perfusion time [(3.96±1.41)min vs (13.15±1.46)min] in group D were lower than those in group C, while the automatic rebound rate (90.41% vs 76.92%) was higher than that in group C ( P<0.05). Both groups successfully completed the operation. There were no serious complications of important organs such as low cardiac output, brain, liver and kidney during and after the operation. There were no deaths during hospitalization, and all patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions:There was no significant difference in myocardial protection between del Nido and St. Thomas cardioplegia solution in severe valvular surgery. The application of del Nido cardioplegia could reduce the frequency of perfusions and total perfusion time.

Objective:To investigate the operational impact of the curve laterality of degenerative lumbar scoliosis on oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF).Methods:Data of 40 cases with degenerative lumbar scoliosis and 20 cases without degenerative lumbar scoliosis treated in our hospital from January to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 cases in left convex group (male 5, female 15, 70.62±5.45 years old) and 20 cases in left concave group (male 3, female 17, 69.73±7.24 years old), and there were 20 cases of lumbar degenerative diseases without scoliosis (lumbar spinal stenosis 13 cases, lumbar disc herniation 7 cases; male 5, female 15, 71.48±5.73 years old). The following OLIF operation-related anatomical parameters were measured on MR axial T2 weighted image and lumbar spine X-ray image: distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle; distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the left lumbar sympathetic trunk; distance from the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle to the transverse axis of the vertebral body; distance between the midpoints of adjacent vertebral bodies in L 2-5; angle of rotation of the vertebral body and angle of the OLIF operating channel. One-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) were used for statistical analysis of measurement parameters of different groups. Results:There were statistically significant differences between the distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle, and the distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the left lumbar sympathetic trunk in the three groups of cases (All P<0.05). The L 2, 3 segment (24.41±9.54 mm, 18.18±7.1 mm) and L 3, 4 segment (18.54±7.94 mm, 13.73±6.73 mm) in the left concave group were significantly larger than those in the no scoliosis group; and the above values of the L 4, 5 segment of the left convex group (19.16±7.04 mm, 11.67±3.63 mm) were significantly larger than those in the no scoliosis group. For the distance from the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle to the transverse axis of the vertebral body, the values of L 2, 3 and L 3, 4 (13.76±2.98 mm, 15.87±3.53 mm) in the left convex group were significantly greater than those in the no scoliosis control group; but in the left concave group, the corresponding values (9.97±3.14 mm, 10.75±5.03 mm) were significantly smaller than those in the no scoliosis group. The distances between the midpoints of adjacent vertebral bodies of L 2, 3 and L 3, 4 (37.67±3.45 mm, 38.18±3.54 mm) in the left convex group were greater than those in the no scoliosis group and left concave group, and the differences between the three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis between the absolute value of vertebral rotation angle and OLIF surgical passage angle showed that there was a negative correlation between them in the left convex group and a positive correlation in the left concave group. Conclusion:The curve laterality of degenerative lumbar scoliosis had a certain influence on the anatomical parameters of oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion. It was recommended to design and adjust the operation skills according to the curve laterality before surgery.
