In this chapter, the computational biology of cardiac cavity images is proposed. The method uses collinear and triangle equation algorithms to detect and reconstruct the boundary of the cardiac cavity. The first step involves high boost filter to enhance the high frequency component without affecting the low frequency component. Second, the morphological and thresholding operators are applied to the image to eliminate noise and convert the image into a binary image. Next, the edge detection is performed using the negative Laplacian filter and followed by region filtering. Finally, the collinear and triangle equations are used to detect and reconstruct the more precise cavity boundary. Results obtained have proved that this technique is able to perform better segmentation and detection of the boundary of cardiac cavity from echocardiographic images.

Heart Surg Forum 2021 Jan 15;24(1):E031-E037. Epub 2021 Jan 15.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Background: Small cavity left ventricle (SCLV) may affect the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR). This study aims to investigate the incidence of SCLV in patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis undergoing MVR and analyze its effect on short-term patient outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively examined all consecutive patients with isolated or concomitant MVR for rheumatic mitral valve stenosis in our center from 2013 to 2018. Read More

Crit Care Explor 2021 Feb 22;3(2):e0345. Epub 2021 Feb 22.

Intensive Care Unit, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.

Objectives: Changes in right ventricular size and function are frequently observed in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority of patients who receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergo chest CT and transthoracic echocardiography. The aims of this study were to compare the use of CT and transthoracic echocardiography to evaluate the right ventricular function and to determine the prevalence of acute cor pulmonale in this patient population.

Chylous ascites refers to the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The causes of chylous ascites are various, and commonly include traumatic injury and obstruction, which disrupt the lymphatic system. In addition, cardiothoracic surgery may injure the thoracic duct and lead to chylothorax. Read More

Transl Pediatr 2021 Jan;10(1):121-135

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.

Background: Many cases have been reported recently on multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a newly emerged disease that seemed to correlate with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of this review was to describe the clinical features, treatment and outcomes of MIS-C, as well as to assess the risk of bias of published case studies, analyzing their reporting quality.

Methods: We searched all articles reporting on multisystem inflammatory condition in children and adolescents in the context of COVID-19 through MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, China Biology Medicine disc (CBM) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from their inception to June 17, 2020.

In artery tree, endothelial function correlates with the distribution of shear stress, a dragging force generated by flowing blood. In laminar shear stress areas, endothelial cells (ECs) are available to prevent atherosclerosis, however, ECs in disturbed shear stress sites are featured with proinflammation and atherogenesis. Basic studies in the shear stress field that focused on the mechanosensors of ECs have attracted the interest of researchers. Read More
