Objective To investigate the clinical pathological feature of primary pulmonary sarcomatold carcinoma and to make a further understandine of the disease. Methods Data including clinical manifesation, pathological findings, molecular detection and immunophenotyping with pathologically confirmed primary pulmonary sarcomatold carcinoma was retrospectively analyzed. Results 15 patients with PPSC were identified(13 men and 2 women, age ranged 56-76 years, median age 66 years). The tumor were located in the left lobus superior(8 cases), lobus inferior(6 cases), and the right lobus medius(1 case). The main clinical symptoms was cough, sputum, bloody sputum, chest pain. Among the 13 males, 10 had smoking history of more than 30 years, and 2 females had no smoking history. All cases presented with a spheroid solid lung mass. All tumor showed mild enhancement similar to that of the surrounding musculature after contrast enhancement, and inhomogeneous central low-attenuation areas were seen in 15 patients. Pathological pattern: 6 cases spindle cell carcinoma, 4 cases pleomorphic carcinoma, 2 cases giant cells carcinoma, 2 cases carcinosarcoma, 1 case pulmonary blastoma. The tumors were composed of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. Immunohistochemistry showed that CK was all positive, EMA was positive in 7, VIM was positive in 10 of 15 cases.10 patients were tested for common related genes of lung cancer, 4 patients had MET14 jump mutation, EGFR L858R gene mutation occurred in 3 cases, KARS G13D gene mutation in 2 cases, and BRAF V600E mutation in 1 case. All 15 patients underwent lobectomy, 13 underwent adjuvant chemotherapy, and 6 underwent local radiotherapy. Postoperative follow-up was 8 to 50 months, 3 cases were lost, and 4 cases were survival 3 years after the surgery. Conclusion Pulmonary sarcomatold carcinoma is a rare histologic subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. Compared with other NSCLC, there is no special clinical and imageing characteristics. Its definite diagnosis relies on postoperative pathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining, and PSC needs to be diatinguished from a variely of disease. PPSC is more aggressive and poor prognosis. Key words: Sarcomatold carcinoma; Lung neoplasma; Spindle cell carcinoma; Pathological characteristics

Objective To discuss and evaluate the safty and outcome of the second order chordal-cutting. Methods From Aug 2015 to Mar 2017, 9 chronic IMR patients underwent chordal-cutting procedure, in addition to myocardial revascularization and undersized mitral annuloplasty. The indication was the presence of increased tethering of the anterior leaflet, with a bending angle (BA)<145° and the coaptation depth (CD) less than 10 mm. Pre- and post-procedure clinical data including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), mitral regurgitation grade, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and dimension of the left ventricle were compared. Results There was no perioperative death. No patient was lost to follow-up. MR grade decreased from 2.89 ± 0.60 preoperatively to 0.56 ± 0.70 postoperatively. The New York Heart Association class decreased from 2.78 ± 0.70 preoperatively to 1.33 ± 0.50 postoperatively. The BA increased from (136.22 ± 4.55)°preoperatively to (174.22 ± 3.15)°postoperatively. The coaptation depth decreased from (8.59 ± 0.46) mm preoperatively to (1.54 ± 0.68) mm postoperatively. LVEF increased from 0.49±0.07 preoperatively to 0.57±0.05 postoperatively. The diastolic and systolic diameters of left ventricle decreased from (62.78 ± 5.24 )mm to (53.67 ± 2.99)mm and( 44.11 ± 4.62)mm to( 37.22 ± 3.27)mm, respectively. Conclusion In selected chronic IMR patients with a BA<145° and coaptation depth less than 10 mm, second order chordal-cutting can be a good surgical option, and is related to less MR return or persistence, improved LVEF, and lower New York Heart Association class.

Objective To compare the difference of immune indices and T lymphocyte subsets in patients with simple thymoma, thymoma combined with myasthenia gravis or other autoimmune diseases, analyze the immune characteristics of patients with thymoma combined with or without autoimmune diseases. Methods Retrospective analyze thymoma surgical cases in cardiothoracic surgery of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. A total of 282 patients with thymoma were included in the analysis, including 66 patients with simple thymoma, 188 patients with myasthenia gravis, and 28 patients with other autoimmune diseases. Patients were grouped by combining with MG or autoimmune diseases. Age, sex, pathological type, immune indexes (including IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, C3, C4, CRP, circulating immune complexes, anti-nuclear antibodies), T cell subsets (including CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg) were analyzed. Results The results showed that thymoma with autoimmune diseases and antinuclear antibodies positive were more likely to occur in female patients. Types B1, B2 and B3 thymomas were more likely to be associated with MG. Immune index analysis showed that IgG increased (P=0.008) and C3 decreased (P=0.007) significantly in patients of thymoma with MG or autoimmune diseases, they were the most significant immune indicators. CRP content in thymoma with MG was significantly lower than that in simple thymoma (P=0.004). the content of circulating immune complexes was higher in patients of thymoma with autoimmune diseases (P=0.03). IgG, IgE and circulating immune complexes increased significantly (P<0.05) and C3 decreased significantly (P=0.03) in thymoma patients with anti-nuclear antibody positive. T lymphocyte subsets analysis showed that CD4+ T lymphocyte, CD8+ T lymphocyte, CD4+ /CD8+ , Th1 cell and Th2 cell had no statistical significance. Thymoma patients with MG and autoimmune disease had higher Th17 content and higher Th17/Treg ratio, while Treg cells content decreased. Conclusion Women with thymoma were more likely to have autoimmune diseases and type B thymoma was more likely to have MG. The most significant immune indices were IgG and C3. The increase of IgG and the decrease of complement C3 were related to the type of immune diseases. The increase of Th17 cells and the decrease of Treg cells were related to the thymoma with autoimmune diseases. Key words: Thymoma; Autoimmune diseases; Myasthenia gravis; T lymphocyte subsets

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of using sternal suspension technique in correcting pectus excavatum after open repair of congenital heart disease and improve the safety of this technique. Methods A retrospective study was conducted for 8 cases of pectus excavatum treated with sternal suspension procedure after open repair of congenital heart disease from October 2005 to October 2018 in our institution, 5 males and 3 females. The median age of patients was 5.75 years (range 3.75-12.33 years) and the median Haller index was 4.20(range 3.60-5.19). All patients underwent cardiac ultrasound and chest CT scan to evaluate the severity retrosternal adhesions. Results All patients underwent the sternal suspension procedure successfully with a median operation time 55 min (range 30-230 min) and a median blood loss of 2 ml (range 2-120 ml). There was one patient suffered pneumothorax after operation. The patients were followed up for 4 months to 13 years with an excellent and good outcome. Conclusion Sternal suspension technique is a safe and effective procedure for pectus excavatum. To improve the security and reduce the incidence of cardiac injury, sternal suspension technique is a promising alternative for pectus patients with severe adhesion after open repair of congenital heart disease.

Objective To analyze the neurodevelopmental outcome and its risk factors in infants with CHD at 18 months of age. Methods Eighteen-month-old infants with CHD at the follow-up clinic of our hospital were selected. The Bayley scales of infant development(BSID) were used to evaluate the levels of mental development(MDI) and psychomotor development(PDI). The clinical features during hospitalization were reviewed, and the risk factors of MDI and PDI were analyzed. Results A total of 116 children with CHD underwent BSID evaluation at 18 months of age. Both the MDI(95.38±22.98) and PDI(87.84±22.57) of the cohort were significantly lower than the average value of the normal population(P<0.05). In infants with cyanotic CHD, the MDI was higher(β=17.218). The longer the length was of the hospital stay, the lower the PDI(β=-0.577). In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, the PDI was higher(β=11.956). Compared to infants with relatively normal behavior, the PDI of infants with mild behavioral problems was lower(β=-10.605). Conclusion Children with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery have delayed neurodevelopmental outcomes compared with those of healthy children. The outcomes of infants with cyanotic CHD or undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery was better than others. Long hospital stays and mild behavioral problems were risk factors for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Key words: Heart surgery; Congenital heart disease; Infants; Neurodevelopment; Outcomes
目的分析18月龄冠心病患儿神经发育结局及其危险因素。方法选择本院随访门诊18月龄冠心病患儿为研究对象。采用贝利婴儿发育量表(Bayley scales of infant development, BSID)评价患儿的心理发展水平(MDI)和精神运动发展水平(PDI)。回顾住院期间的临床特点,分析MDI和PDI的危险因素。结果116例CHD患儿在18月龄时接受了BSID评估。队列MDI(95.38±22.98)、PDI(87.84±22.57)均显著低于正常人群平均值(P<0.05)。青紫型冠心病患儿的MDI较高(β=17.218)。住院时间越长,PDI越低(β=-0.577)。接受体外循环手术的患者PDI较高(β=11.956)。与行为相对正常的婴儿相比,轻度行为问题婴儿的PDI较低(β=-10.605)。结论与健康儿童相比,接受心脏手术的冠心病儿童神经发育预后延迟。青紫型冠心病患儿或行体外循环手术患儿的预后较其他患儿好。长期住院和轻度行为问题是神经发育不良的危险因素。关键词:心脏外科;先天性心脏病;婴儿;神经发育;结果
