Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Mei mini maze procedure for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with previously failed catheter ablation. Methods: Between August 2010 and May 2016, 48 AF (8 proximal AF, 15 persistent AF and 25 long-standing persistent AF) patients (29 males, 19 females, mean age: (62.5±7.3) years old) with previously 1-3 failed catheter ablation results were treated with Mei mini maze procedure in our department. Under thoracoscopic assistance, the procedure was performed through three ports on left chest wall, pulmonary vein isolation and ablations of the roof and posterior wall of left atrium was made by bipolar radiofrequency ablation. Ganglionic plexus ablation was made by the ablation pen. Left atrial appendage was excluded. Patients were followed at outpatient clinic and per telephone. Electrocardiogram, CT and echocardiography examinations were performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post operation. The success rate of the procedure was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and evaluated by the log-rank test. Results: Mean AF history was (8.1±6.3) years and left atria dimension was (44.1±6.2) mm in this patient cohort. All procedures were performed successfully in these 48 patients. Pericardial adhesions were dissected in 21 patients. Durations of the procedures were (142.3±35.6) minutes.There were no serious complications. The hospital stay was (9.3±1.8) days. Sinus rhythm was documented in 44 patients (91.7%) at discharge. The mean follow-up duration was (28.0±17.2) months. Thirty-eight patients (82.6%) were in sinus rhythm. There was no stroke, thrombus in the left atrium and stenosis of pulmonary vein during the follow-up. Sinus rhythm was achieved in 7 out of 8 paroxysmal AF patients, in 31 out of 38 non-paroxysmal AF patients, and in 13 out of 15 persistent AF patients. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the success rate in the long-standing persistent AF group was lower than in the other two groups, but there was no statistical difference. Conclusions: Mei mini maze procedure has a high success rate for AF patients with previously failed catheter ablation history, which could completely isolate the bilateral pulmonary vein and left atrial posterior wall with good quality and integrity of ablation line, and left atrial appendage is also resected during the procedure.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the capabilities of the cardiovascular virtual endoscopy (VE) system in diagnosing tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and performing measurements. A total of 37 patients underwent two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) examinations. The obtained MDCT images were applied to a cardiovascular VE system. Diagnostic time by VE was first studied and compared with MDCT. Subsequently, with surgical findings as the ground truth, the capabilities of VE, 2-DE and MDCT in diagnosing TOF and its complications were investigated. Additionally, measurements on aorta overriding ratio and diameters for the left pulmonary artery, right pulmonary artery and right ventricular outflow tract by 2-DE and VE were analyzed. Diagnostic time by VE was significantly shorter than MDCT (188±42 vs. 303±42 sec, respectively; P<0.0001). VE, MDCT and 2-DE demonstrated comparable diagnostic rates of TOF (35/37 vs. 34/37 vs. 32/37, respectively; P>0.05). Similar findings were demonstrated in diagnosing complications of the muscular ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, vagus subclavian artery, right arch, double superior vena cava and pulmonary artery. Furthermore, in diagnosing the atrial septal defect, 2-DE outperformed MDCT and VE (accuracy, 100 vs. 81 vs. 73%, respectively; all P<0.05). In performing relevant measurements, VE outperformed MDCT and 2-DE, particularly in accessing aorta overriding ratios with no intra-operator difference (P=0.3770) and high consistency (r=0.916). In conclusion, cardiovascular VE was demonstrated to have acceptable accuracy in diagnosing TOF, and possess advantages in shortening the diagnostic time and in performing measurements.

Abstract
Background: Right minithoracotomy (RM) has been proven to be a safe and effective approach for mitral valve surgery, but the differences of artificial chordae technique between RM and median sternotomy (MS) were seldom reported. Here, we compared the outcomes of modified artificial chordae technique for mitral regurgitation (MR) through RM or MS approaches. Methods: One hundred and eighteen consecutive adult patients who received mitral valve repair with artificial chordae and annuloplasty for MR through RM (n = 58) or MS (n = 60) from January 2006 to January 2015 were analyzed. Results: All of the selected patients underwent mitral valve repair successfully without any complication during the surgery. There was no significant difference between RM group and MS group in cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, and early postoperative complications. However, compared with the MS group, the RM group had shorter hospital stay and faster surgical recovery. At a mean follow-up of 44.8 ± 25.0 months, the freedom from more than moderate MR was 93.9% ± 3.5% in RM group and 94.8% ± 2.9% in MS group at 3 years postoperatively. Log-rank test showed that there was no significant difference in the freedom from recurrent significant MR between the two groups (χ2 = 0.247, P = 0.619). Multivariate analysis revealed that the presence of mild MR at discharge was the independent risk factor for the recurrent significant MR. Conclusion: Right minithoracotomy can achieve the similar therapeutic effects with MS for the patients who received modified artificial chordae technique for treating MR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous, small, noncoding single-stranded RNAs that act as post-transcriptional gene regulatory elements. MiRNA polymorphisms may be associated with susceptibility to congenital heart disease (CHD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on CHD susceptibility. METHODS We genotyped two functional SNPs, miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-146a rs2910164, in a case-control cohort of 173 Chinese patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and 207 non-CHD controls. RESULTS When the miR-196a2 rs11614913 TT homozygote genotype was used as the reference group, the TC genotype was not associated with an increased risk of TOF. The CC genotype was associated with a borderline significantly increased risk for TOF. In the recessive model, when the miR-196a2 rs11614913 TT/TC genotypes were used as the reference group, the CC homozygote genotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of TOF (OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.18-3.25, p = 0.01). The miR-146a rs2910164 C>G polymorphism was not associated with developing TOF. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that the miR-196a2 rs11614913 T>C polymorphism may play a role in the development of TOF. Future larger studies that include populations of other ethnicities are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the rate of overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2), mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and evaluate their correlation with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study conducted from 2003 to 2008 among 184 NSCLC patients who underwent tumor resection. Each patient's clinical history and tumor characteristics were obtained from histopathology reports and medical records. EGFR, MDM2 and MMP2 expression were assessed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of the tissue specimens. RESULTS MDM2 overexpression was observed in 70 (38%) of the patients studied, and was significantly higher in younger patients (p=0.01). Only 46 (25%) of patients had overexpression of MMP2. EGFR positive staining occurred in 105 (57%percnt;) of the evaluated tumor specimens and was more frequent in specimens with squamous cell carcinoma (p<0.001), the elderly (p<0.001), and in smokers (p<0.001). Independent risk factors for mortality were older age (adjusted odds ratio/aOR 1.3=), being a smoker (aOR 10), having stage II disease (aOR 10.8) or stage III/IV disease (aOR 28.3), expression of EGFR (aOR 5.9) and MMP2 (aOR 4.1). However, the expression of MDM2 independently predicted a reduced risk of death (aOR 0.3). CONCLUSION Overexpression of MMP2 and EGFR were independent risk factors for mortality in NSCLC patients, while overexpression of MDM2 independently predicted a reduced risk of death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of continuous vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) on atrial neural remodeling during atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that VNS affects atrial neural remodeling and reduces AF inducibility. METHODS Twenty rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: rapid atrial pacing (RAP) group and RAP with VNS group. AF inducibility studies and atrial histologic analyses were performed after 4 weeks. RESULTS Five rabbits of RAP group (5/10) in the RAP group developed sustained AF. None of rabbits in RAP with VNS group had developed AF. The incidence of sustained AF in VNS group was significant lower than that in rapid pacing group (P<.01). Treatment with VNS resulted in a significant reduction in atrial neural remodeling and AF duration (P<.01). CONCLUSIONS Atrial neural remodeling plays an important role in the initiation and maintenance of AF. Modulating autonomic nerve function with VNS can contribute to AF control.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play essential roles in cancer development and progression. Recent studies suggested that abnormal expression of miRNAs occurs frequently in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. In this study, we investigated the expression and the biological roles of miR-106a in non-small cell lung cancer. Our results showed that miR-106a was up-regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Inhibition of miR-106a in NSCLC cells substantially inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was identified as a direct target of miR-106a, and over-expression of miR-106a suppressed PTEN by direct binding to its 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR). Furthermore, the presence of miR-106a was inversely correlated with PTEN in NSCLC tissues. Overall, this study suggested that miR-106a inhibited the growth and metastasis of NSCLC cells by decreasing PTEN expression. These data provide novel insights with potential therapeutic applications for the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged recently as major players in tumor biology and may be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and potential therapeutic targets. The lncRNA HMlincRNA717, a newly identified lncRNA, was demonstrated to be down-regulated in gastric cancer. However, little is known about its role in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Expression of lncRNA HMlincRNA717 in tumor and their matched non-tumor tissues was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in NSCLC patients. Then, we analyzed the potential relationship between lncRNA HMlincRNA717 expression levels in tumor tissues and clinicopathological features of NSCLC, and clinical outcome. RESULTS lncRNA HMlincRNA717 expression level was significantly decreased in NSCLC tissues in comparison to adjacent non-tumor tissues. It was also proved that HMlincRNA717 expression was to be associated with NSCLC histological grade, and lymph node metastasis. In addition, survival analysis proved that down-regulated HMlincRNA717 expression was associated with poor overall survival of NSCLC patients. Multivariate survival analysis also proved that HMlincRNA717 was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed the down-regulation of HMlincRNA717 and its association with tumor progression in human NSCLC. It also provided that HMlincRNA717 expression was an independent prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC, which might be a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.
