Objective: To investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on neutrophils apoptosis and the expression of survivin.
Methods: Ten patients who scheduled for cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited as study group and 10 healthy volunteers as control. Blood samples were obtained before operation, at the end of surgery, and at 24 hours postoperatively. Neutrophils were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and its apoptosis were evaluated by fluorescent microscope and flow cytometry. The expression of survivin protein was examined by Western blotting analysis. Expression level of survivin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.
Results: The apoptotic rate of neutrophils decreased significantly at the end of surgery (P < 0.01), and was still lower at 24 hours postoperatively than before operation (P < 0.05). The expression ratios of survivin protein and mRNA were increased at the end of surgery (P < 0.01), and decreased gently at 24 hours postoperatively but was still higher than before operation (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Cardiopulmonary bypass could inhibit neutrophils apoptosis and increase the expression of survivin. The decrease of neutrophils apoptosis was correlated with high expression of survivin.

The surgical procedure detailed in this case report focuses on the treatment of a large cardiac hydatid cyst located in the intraventricular septum. The surgical intervention comprised a comprehensive approach involving a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass. A localized mass below the tricuspid valve at the basal region of the interventricular septum was revealed.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Introduction: There is no standard protocol for management of organ preservation for orthotopic, life-sustaining cardiac xenotransplantation, particularly for hearts from pediatric sized donors. Standard techniques and solutions successful in human allotransplantation are not viable. We theorized that a solution commonly used in reparative cardiac surgery in human children would suffice by exploiting the advantages inherent to xenotransplantation, namely the ability to reduce organ ischemic times by co-locating the donor and recipient.
