Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, imposing a significant economic burden on society. Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), as an emerging therapeutic strategy for MR, is expected to fill the gap in the treatment of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in the future. This article reviews the progress of TMVR clinical research both domestically and internationally in the past two years and analyzes the current challenges faced by TMVR research, such as mitral valve anatomy, device access transition, valve design, and mitral valve calcification. Finally, the prospects of mitral valve product research are discussed.
Objective To explore factors that affect the assessment of sexual self-defense capacity and to evaluate the effect of social functions on sexual self-defense capacity in patients with mental retardation. Methods A 1∶1 matched case-control study was carried out, which included 174 sexual assault cases, 87 with mental retardation and 87 without mental retardation. A record of forensic psychiatry assessment designed by ourselves was used to collect the general characteristics. Wechsler Adult Intelligence-Rerisedin China (WAIS-RC) was used to determine the intelligence quotient. Rating Scale of Intellectual Disability (RSID) and Global Assessment Function (GAF) were used to assess social functions. Results Besides factors such as culture, occupation, knowledge about sex and payment claim, the scores of GAF and RSID were also related to the assessment of sexual self-defense capacity. Moreover, the correct ratio of discrimination was 73.1% (yes), 66.9% (impaired) and 87.2% (no), respectively, and the general correct ratio of discrimination was 78.1%. Conclusion Not only social and legal factors but also the level of social functions should be considered in the assessment of sexual self-defense capacity. Therefore, it might be concluded that multiple discriminant analysis can be useful when assessing the sexual self-defense capacity of patients with mental retardation.
ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of hollow screw for the treatment of basilar part fracture of hamate hook.MethodsFive patients with basilar part fracture of hamate hook, aged 24-47 years (mean, 31 years) were treated with open reduction and hollow screw fixation between June 2015 and February 2019. There were 4 males and 1 female. The causes of injury were athletic injury in 3 cases, falling injury in 1 case, and crushing injury in 1 case. Among them, 1 case was combined with sensory disturbance of one and a half fingers on the ulnar side of the palm. The grip strength of the affected side was significantly decreased when compared with that of the healthy side in all patients. The intervals between injury and surgery were 3-8 days (mean, 4.2 days). Postoperative follow-up was conducted regularly to measure the grip strength of the affected and healthy fingers and the total motion of ring and little fingers of the affected side. Darrow criteria was used to evaluate the effectiveness.ResultsAll the incisions healed by primary intention. All the patients were followed up 6-32 months (mean, 16 months). X-ray films showed that the basilar part fracture of hamate hook reached bony union, and the healing time was 2.0-3.5 months (mean, 2.2 months). At last follow-up, the grip strength of the affected side was (35.80±3.76) kg, showing no significant difference when compared with healthy side [(36.00±4.94) kg] (t=0.094, P=0.930); and the total motion of ring and little fingers of the affected side was (529.0±8.9)°, which was significantly different from that before operation [(232.0±34.7)°] (t=18.108, P=0.000). In 1 patient with ulnar nerve injury, the two-point discrimination of the innervation area was 4 mm, and the pain sensation and temperature sensation returned to normal. Assessed by Darrow criteria, the results were excellent in 4 cases and good in 1 case.ConclusionFor the basilar part fracture of hamate hook, hollow screw fixation can obtain secure reduction and fixation and provide sustained compression and counter-rotation for the broken end of fracture, thus allowing early joint motion and promoting fracture healing and recovery of wrist function. It is a relatively good method for the treatment of basilar part fracture of hamate hook.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the predictive factors of new-onset conduction abnormalities(NOCAs) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. MethodsThe CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMbase databases were electronically searched to collect the relevant studies on NOCAs after TAVR in patients with BAV from inception to December 5, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. ResultsSix studies involving 758 patients with BAV were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that age (MD=−1.48, 95%CI −2.73 to −0.23, P=0.02), chronic kidney disease (OR=0.14, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.34, P<0.01), preoperative left bundle branch block (LBBB) (OR=2.84, 95%CI 1.11 to 7.23, P=0.03), membranous septum length (MSL) (MD=0.93, 95%CI 0.05 to 1.80, P=0.04), implantation depth (ID) (MD=−2.06, 95%CI −2.96 to −1.16, P<0.01), the difference between MSL and ID (MD=3.05, 95%CI 1.92 to 4.18, P<0.01), and ID>MSL (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.49, P<0.01) could be used as predictors of NOCAs. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that age, chronic kidney disease, LBBB, MS, ID, the difference between MSL and ID, and ID>MSL could be used as predictors of NOCAs. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To investage the relationship among the visual loss, the disease course, and retinal circulation time in patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO)． Method The data about the central vision, disease course, and results of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) of 99 patients (99 eyes) with CRAO were statistically analyzed. Results Between 2 days and 21 days after the occurrence of CRAO, the disease course didnrsquo;t relate to the central visual loss (Pgt;0.05). In the retinal circulation, a correlation was found between the time of fluorescein perfusion and the central visual loss (Plt;0.05) but not between the time of arm-retina circulation and the central visual loss (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion In the duration of retinal circulation, the time of fluorescein perfusion in retinal artery relates to the central visual loss; the longer the duration is, the worse the vision is.

The 2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease not only updates aortic valve stenosis, mitral regurgitation, prosthetic valves, infective endocarditis and antithrombotic treatment on the basis of the 2017 guidelines update for valvular heart disease, but also involves aortic valve regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve, mitral stenosis, tricuspid regurgitation, combined valve disease, pregnancy with valvular disease, valve disease complicated with coronary heart disease, valve disease complicated with non-cardiac surgery and the prospect of comprehensive management of valve disease. It covers a wide range of contents, which are introduced in detail and comprehensively. This paper interprets some highlights and core issues, including the top 10 take-home messages, the severity of valvular heart disease, and the updates in the management of aortic valve stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation, bicuspid aortic valve, mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
An 82-year-old male was hospitalized complaining of dyspnea for 1 year and aggravating for 2 weeks. He had been treated in other hospitals for several times due to such situation and his symptom could be relieved by diuretics. After admission, he was diagnosed as severe aortic stenosis with extremely low left ventricular contractile function; transthoracic echocardiography showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of only 16.1%. He was classified as a typical case of severe aortic stenosis with “low transaortic velocity and low transaortic gradient” since the transaortic velocity being 2.36 m/s and transaortic gradient being 22/14 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa). Dobutamine-stress echocardiography suggested that the patient’s left ventricular reserve function was extremely poor and the potential benefits of valvular surgery were finite as the former data being 2.59 m/s and 27/16 mm Hg respectively. In consideration of progressive exacerbation of the patient’s symptoms, we eventually conducted transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery with the support of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. His symptoms such as dyspnea disappeared after the surgery and clinical parameters had also got a significant improvement.
Objective To explore the effectiveness and appropriate energy parameters of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in treating infant hemangiomas. Methods Between January 2009 and September 2010, 60 infants with hemangioma were treated. There were 23 boys and 37 girls, aged from 3 to 30 months with an average of 10 months. These hemangiomas were located at head and face (24 cases), trunk (15 cases), l imb (16 cases), buttocks (2 cases), perineum (1 case),and multiple lesions (cervix, abdomen, and upper l imbs, 2 cases). The size of hemangiomas ranged from 0.8 cm × 0.6 cm to 6.0 cm × 5.0 cm. The 60 infants were randomly divided into 3 groups: groups A, B, and C (n=20) based on different ultrasound energies used in treatment. The lesion surface was irradiated with 3-5 mm/second for 5 continuously by ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus at a frequency of 9 MHz, impulse of 1 000, and 10% of scanning overlap; the powers of 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 W were used in groups A, B, and C, respectively, 3 times as a course of treatment with 1 month interval. The effect and ulcer and scar risk in irradiation region were observed after 6 months of treatment. Results All cases were treated for one course. After 6 months of treatment, no significant difference in the effect was found among 3 groups based on hemangioma treatment judging criterion (P gt; 0.05). Neither ulcer nor scar occurred in group A; ulcer occurred in 4 cases (20%) of group B with superficial scars, and in 7 cases (35%) of group C with obvious scars. The rates of ulcer and scar in groups B and C were significantly higher than that in group A (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion HIFU irradiating is one of effective methods for treating infant hemangioma, but the appropriate energy was below 3.5 W.
Objective To investigate the anatomical evidence of low end-to-side anastomosis of median nerve and ulnar nerve in repair of Dejerine Klumpke type paralysis or high ulnar nerve injury. Methods Twelve formaldehyde anticorrosion specimens (24 sides) and 3 fresh specimens (6 sides) were observed. There were 9 males (18 sides) and 6 females(12 sides). The specimen dissected under the microscope. S-shape incision was made at palmar thenar approaching ulnar side, the profundus nervi ulnaris and superficial branch of ulnar nerve were separated through near end of incision, and the recurrent branch of median nerve and comman digital nerve of the ring finger were separated through far end of incision. The distances from pisiform bone to the start point of the recurrent branch of median nerve, and to the start point of comman digital nerve of the ring finger were measured. The width and thickness of the profundus nervi ulnaris and superficial branch of ulnar nerve, and the recurrent branch of median nerve and comman digital nerve of the ring finger were measured, and the cross-sectional area was calculated. The number of nerve fiber was determined with HE staining and argentaffin staining. Results The crosssectional area and the number of nerve fiber were (2.46 ± 1.03) mm2 and 1 305 ± 239 for the profundus nervi ulnaris, (2.62 ± 1.75) mm2 and 1 634 ± 343 for the recurrent branch of median nerve, (1.60 ± 1.39) mm2 and 1 201 ± 235 for the superficial branch of ulnar nerve, and (2.19 ± 0.89) mm2 and 1 362 ± 162 for the comman digital nerve of the ring finger. There were no significant differences (P gt; 0.05) in the cross-sectional area and the number of nerve fiber between the profundus nervi ulnaris and the recurrent branch of median nerve, between the superficial branch of ulnar nerve and the comman digital nerve of the ring finger; and two factors had a l inear correlation (P lt; 0.05) with correlation coefficients of 0.68, 0.66 and 0.56, 0.36. The distances were (36.98 ± 4.93) mm from pisiform bone to the start point of the recurrent branch of median nerve, and (28.35 ± 6.63) mm to the start point of comman digital nerve of the ring finger. Conclusion Low end-to-side anastomosis of median nerve and ulnar nerve has perfect match in the cross-sectional area and the number of nerve fiber.
