However, still is not clear if dysfunction and outcome is related to visible myocardial alterations. The aim of the present study was the histological analysis of myocardial tissue of neonatal piglets after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegic arrest. Methods: Neonatal piglets (younger than 7 days) were connected to CPB for 180 min, including 90 min of cardioplegic heart arrest at 32 degrees C. After termination of CPB the piglets were observed up to 6 h. During this observational period animals did not receive any inotropic support. Some piglets died within this period and formed the non-survivors group (CPB-NS group) and the remaining animals formed the CPB-6 h group. Myocardial biopsies (stained with H&E) were scored from 0 to 3 regarding histological alterations. Then, the histological data were evaluated and compared to the probes of animals handled comparable to previous piglets but without CPB (non-CPB group; n = 3) and to sibling piglets without specific treatment (control; n = 5). Results: In the first hours after CPB six piglets out of 10 died (median 3.3 h). The animals of CPB-6 h group (n = 4) were sacrificed at the end of experiments (6 h after CPB). Although the myocardial histological score of CPB-6 h group and CPB-NS group were higher than non-CPB group (2.0 +/- 0.8, 1.5 +/- 0.9, and 0.8 +/- 0.3 respectively), these differences were statistically not significant. But compared to control animals (score 0.3 +/- 0.5) the scores of CPB-6 h and CPB-NS groups were significantly higher (p < 0.05). Between the left and the right ventricular tissue there were no significant differences. Conclusions: Myocardial tissue alterations in newborn piglets are related to the surgical trauma and potentiated by cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemia. However, outcome is not related to the degree of tissue alteration."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access Publikationsfonds 2015"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13019-015-0380-0"],["dc.identifier.isi","000365338900003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26589394"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12541"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35388"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1749-8090"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Myocardial histology and outcome after cardiopulmonary bypass of neonatal piglets"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a novel surgical-blood suction system with an automatic control setup for minimization of turbulence in the blood flow. Methods: We compared the turbulence-controlled suction system (TCSS) with a conventional suction system and untreated control blood in vitro. Blood cell counts, hemolysis levels according to free hemoglobin (fHb) and platelet function were analyzed to determine the integrity of the suction blood. Results: In the conventional suction system, we found a strong increase of the fHb levels. In contrast, erythrocyte integrity was almost completely preserved when using the TCSS. We obtained similar results regarding platelet function. The expression of platelet glycoproteins, such as GP IIb/IIIa and P-selectin, native or after stimulation with ADP, were markedly impaired by the conventional system, but not by the TCSS. In addition, platelet aggregometry revealed significant platelet dysfunction in conventional suction blood, but less aggregation impairments were present in blood samples from the TCSS. Conclusion: Our findings on an in vitro assessment show major improvements in red blood cell integrity and platelet function of suction blood when using the TCSS compared to a conventional suction system.

All patients combined, strong expression of CD49b correlated significantly with poorer overall survival. However, an increased expression of CD49b correlated significantly with a poorer survival rate only in SQCLC. In AC and SCLC, no significant correlation could be demonstrated in this regard.In our study, CD49b expression was associated with poor overall survival in patients with SQCLC.

Methods: Although organized by the Dept. of Thoracic, Cardiac, and Vascular Surgery, the approach of the program was multidisciplinary. Participants also attended Continuous Medical Education activities primary addressed to physicians. At the end of the program, the participants evaluated the program anonymously. The educational units were rated via a 4-grade system. Additionally, it was possible to comment both positive and negative aspects of the program. Results: Twenty-nine educational units were evaluated. The practical teaching units yielded a better result than the classical teaching units (93% of practical units were evaluated as \"very good\" vs. 74% of lectures/seminars). The Continuous Medical Education activities were evaluated less favorable (only 61% were evaluated as \"very good\"). Conclusions: The student exchange program enhanced effective teaching and learning. Courses supporting practical medical skills were extremely positive evaluated.

We collected all re-explorations for bleeding and pericardial tamponade from our surgical database and then we focused on the late re-explorations, meaning on the 4th postoperative day and thereafter, trying to identify the removal of the temporary pacemakerwires as the definite cause of bleeding. Patients’ records and medication were examined. Thirty-nine late re-explorations for bleeding, consisting of repeat sternotomies, thoracotomies and subxiphoid pericardial drainages, were gathered. Eight patients had an acute bleeding incidence after removal ofthe temporary wires (0.18%). In four of these patients, a pericardial drainage was inserted, whereas the remaining patients were re-explorated through a repeat sternotomy. Two patients died of the acute pericardial tamponade,three had a blood transfusion and one had a wound infection. Seven out of eight patients were either on dualantiplatelet therapy or on combination of aspirin and vitamin K antagonist.
