To investigate the effects of inhibition of lncRNA PVT1 on the proliferation, apoptosis and oxidative stress of vascular endothelial cells induced by hyperglycemic. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro and divided into four groups: control group (5.5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group (30 mmol/L glucose), high glucose + siNC group (30 mmol/L glucose +siNC, negative control group), HG + siPVT1 group (30 mmol/L glucose + siPVT1, lncRNA PVT1 silencing group).

Objectives: To investigate the feasibility and safety of non-robotically assisted totally thoracoscopic closure for atrial septal defect (ASD) on perfused beating hearts.
Methods: Twenty-four patients (8-45 years, mean 14.4 ± 18.
Background: Quality of life in patients undergoing totally thoracoscopic closure of atrial septal defect is unclear.
Methods: Thoracoscopic atrial septal defect repair was performed in 96 patients (37 males, aged 19.4 ± 8.
Objectives: We sought to investigate the feasibility and safety of totally thoracoscopic repair of a ventricular septal defect.
Methods: Totally thoracoscopic repair of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect was performed in 36 patients (16 male patients; age, 5-19 years; average age, 10.2 ± 4.
Objective: The recent advent of robotically assisted surgery has enabled totally endoscopic repair of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale. This study investigates the feasibility and safety of totally endoscopic repair of an atrial septal defect through small incisions on the chest without robotic assistance.
Methods: Forty patients (23 female patients; average age, 15.
