AIMS: To investigate the association between the timing of cardiac surgery during pregnancy and both maternal and foetal outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Studies published up to 6 February 2021 on maternal and/or foetal mortality after cardiac surgery during pregnancy that included individual patient data were identified. Maternal and foetal mortality was analysed per trimester for the total population and stratified for patients who underwent caesarean section (CS) prior to cardiac surgery (Caesarean section (CaeSe) group) vs...

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of transferring the ulnaris proper digital nerve of index finger and its dorsal branch to repair the thumb nerve avulsion. Methods: Between January 2007 and May 2015, 23 patients with thumb nerve avulsion were treated by transferring the ulnaris proper digital nerve of index finger and its dorsal branch. There were 17 males and 6 females with an average age of 32 years (range, 16-63 years). The injuries were caused by machine twist in 10 cases, electric saw in 8 cases, and sharp article prick in 5 cases...

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagonsis and treatment of patients with hemophilia in Gansu province of China. METHODS: The clinical data of 223 cases of hemophilia in our center between January 2010 and May 2015 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, these 223 cases of hemophilia were from 14 cities in Gansu and neighboring provinces, including 203 cases of hemophili A (HA) and 20 cases of hemophili B (HB), among them 222 cases were male, only 1 female(HA), 177 cases were from Rural areas (79...

Recent years, obesity is a growing health problem also in patients with chronic renal failure and end it's end stage. This situation has a negative impact both on the extension of the waiting period for transplantation, and the survival rate of the transplanted organ and the recipient. Weight loss through lifestyle modification before transplantation is ambiguous. Its well known fact of rapid body mass gain after transplantation, and finally the results of transplantation are not better than those of patients who have not reduced body weight...

BACKGROUND: Mature autogenous arteriovenous fistulas have better long term patency and require fewer secondary interventions compared to arteriovenous prosthetic graft. Our Study evaluated vascular patency rates and incidence of interventions in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 166 vascular access operations were performed in 153 patients between December 2002 and November 2009. Thirty seven caeses were excluded due to primary access failure and loss of follow-up...

Thumb and finger reconstruction by the method of pedal digit transplantation had been successfully performed in 541 casee from 1977 to 1996, which contained 404 cases of thumbs and 78 cases of fingers. The thumb reconstruction was mainly the simple transplantation of distal phalanx (42 cases) and the compound transplantation of hallucal nail-cutaneous flap with iliac bone segment (16 cases) for the defect of thumbs in degree 1 and 2. The combined transplantation of hallucal nail-cutaneous flap with the joint and tendons of the second toe (34 cases) and the transplantation of the distal part of the second toe (182 cases) for the defect of degree 3 and 4...

Because of the complicated causes and variable clinical signs, closed injury of tendons at wrist is difficult to diagnosis and treat. Twenty-six cases of tendon ruptur were reported. Among them, 11 cases were caused by bone fracture or dislocation, 8 cases were caused by rheumatoid synovitis, 5 cases were caused by synovial tuberculosis, and 2 cases caused by other. The pathogenesis and clinical signs were analyzed. Twenty-three cases were treated by tendon transfer and 3 cases were treated by tendon transplantation...

From August 1984 to August 1994 ninety-one caese of malignant lymphoma (NHL 84 casese, HD 7 cases) were treated with Etoposide (VP-16) combinationn chemotherapy. In 70 evaluable patients, 18 achieved CR, 35 PR, total response rate was 75.7%, response time (RT) 1-79 months, medium response time (MRT) 9 months, survival time (ST) 2-79 months, medium survival time (MST) 12 months. The therapeutic efficacy was better than VP-16 alone. The major side effects were myelosuppression and gastrointestinal toxicity. In COPEP, CHEP, PEP and IEP regimens, best result was seen in COPEP (CTX + VCR + PYM + VP-16 + PDN), with a response rate of 93%...

Six cases of parathyroid cysts were treated in our hospital during a ten--year period with an incidence of 0.27% of the total patients operated on for neck mass. Four females and two males had an average age of 47.5 years with a history of the disease from 3 monts to 30 years. All patients had a single cyst ranging in size from 2.7 to 7.0 cm in diameter, arising in the region of inferior parathyroid gladms. Five caese of asymptomatic neck mass were nonfunctioning cysts, which where thin--walled and contained clear watery fluid...
