ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy and security of one-stop hybrid cardiac surgery for the treatment of adult patients with complex heart disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From November 2011 to March 2012, a total of 5 patients [4 male, mean age: (58.8 ± 14.7) years] underwent one-stop hybrid approach in the hybrid operating room. Two patients suffered from multi-coronary lesions, 2 patients were diagnosed with both valvular heart disease and coronary disease, and another 1 patient had valve disease and congenital heart disease (patent ductus arteriosus). Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting for the left anterior descending or valvular surgery) and percutaneous intervention were performed in an enhanced operative unit. The efficacy and security of one-stop hybrid cardiac surgery were evaluated after the procedure.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The one-stop hybrid procedure was successful in all patients. Left internal mammary artery grafts were unobstructed. A total of 6 non-left anterior descending coronary lesions were treated by percutaneous coronary intervention and 6 drug-eluting stents were implanted. There was no death, perioperative myocardial infarction, heart failure, prosthetic valve dysfunction, respiratory failure, stroke or repeat surgery during the procedure period. All patients remained free from angina, prosthetic valve dysfunction and patent ductus arteriosus recanalisation during the 3.2 months (rang 1 to 5 months) follow-up period.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>One-stop hybrid cardiac surgery provides a reasonable, feasible and safe alternative for treating adult patients with complex heart disease.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of intensive insulin therapy on inflammatory response and prognosis of patients with severe trauma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty severely injured patients were divided into intensive insulin therapy group (n = 40, IT) and routine therapy group (n = 40, RT) in random pair. At the time of admission, a continuous infusion of insulin (2-4 U/h) was pumped into the patients of IT group to maintain blood glucose level at 6-8 mmol/L. Patients in RT group were given routine treatment without administration of insulin. Fever, organ injury, and mortality of patients in 2 groups were recorded. Venous blood was drawn from patients of 2 groups on the morning of post treatment day (PTD) 1, 3, 5, and 7. Values of TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-2, and IL-10 in plasma were assayed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>High fever appeared in 9 patients in IT group, and WBC exceeded 10.0 x 10(9) for more than 3 days in 17 patients in this group, versus 20 and 29 patients respectively in RT group. Dysfunction of 1 organ appeared in 31 patients in IT group and 30 patients in RT group. Dysfunction of 3 organs appeared in 10 patients in IT group and 19 patients in RT group. Dysfunction of 4 organs appeared in 7 patients in IT group and 12 patients in RT group. In IT group, 4 patients died within 3 post-injury day (PID), and 1 patient died after PID 3 (total case fatality: 12.5%). In RT group, 5 patients died within 3 PID, and 4 patient died after PID 3 (total case fatality: 22.5%). Plasma levels of TNF-alpha and CRP of patients in IT group were significantly lower than those of patients in RT group on PID 3-7 ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), while levels of IL-2 and IL-10 of patients in IT group were significantly higher than those of patients in RT group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Plasma levels of TNF-alpha (1.3 +/- 0.6 microg/L) and CRP (55 +/- 16 mg/L) of patients in IT group on PTD 7 were lowered to the trough level, and they were significantly lower than those of patients in RT group (3.0 +/- 0.8 microg/L, 89 +/- 20 mg/L, respectively, P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Intensive insulin therapy can mitigate systemic inflammatory response and improve prognosis of patients with severe trauma.</p>
