Development of the Heart Muscle after Antenatal Ethanol Intoxication during the Neonatal Period

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study was to study the effect of antenatal ethanol intoxication on the postnatal development of the heart muscle during the neonatal period. Materials and methods: The experiment was carried out on 24 pregnant female rats weighing 180-200 grams. The animals were divided into 2 groups: experimental and control. 12 animals of the experimental group were injected with a 30% ethanol solution from 6 to 21 days of gestation daily, once, endogastrically, at a dose of 5 g / kg. The animals of the control group were injected with the same volume of physiological saline. Results and Discussion: On the 1st and 7th days after birth, the rat pups were killed by decapitation under light ether anesthesia. After determining the mass of the heart, part of the organ was studied electron microscopically, part was fixed in 10% neutral formalin, then histological preparations were prepared in accordance with standard methods. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio in cardiomyocytes, the specific density of the capillary network of the myocardium, and the specific density of cardiomyocytes were measured. The data obtained were statistically processed. Conclusion: The study showed that antenatal ethanol intoxication has a pronounced effect on the postnatal development of the heart muscle during the neonatal period, which manifests itself at the cellular and subcellular levels. The value of the obtained results lies in the fact that for the first time ultrastructural changes in postnatal development in the neonatal period of the fetal heart muscle during prenatal ethanol intoxication are shown at the electron microscopic level.

Right anterior minithoracotomy with preservation of the vascular bundle for correction of congenital ventricular septal defects

“…Over the course of 2 years, 54 operations were ©The Ibn Sina Trust 519 Available at: http://www.banglajol.info/index.php/BJMS performed on patients with congenital VSD using the anterolateral thoracotomy method. The mean incision length was 7.16 ± 02.08 cm (range, 5 to 9 cm); the mean duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was 61.72 ± 14.20 min (range 48-78 min); mean aortic crossclamp time was 38.51 ± 13.08 min (range 26-56 min); the mean length of postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) stay was 1.83 ± 1.32 days (range, 1-3 days); the average total hospital stay was 4.92 ± 1.82 days (range 4-7 days), which is also comparable to our results 16 .…”

Comparing clinical course and patients out comes in patients undergoing Open surgical Versus Thoracoscopic closure of the atrial and ventricular septal defects in children

“…During, surgery we have performed TEE and as it was suggested the intraoperative TEE cost-effective and provides valuable information in assessment of CHD repair 19 . We have performed all operation with intraoperative TEE and able to control successfulness of the ASD and VSD closure and we believe that it impacts on duration of postoperative stay in ICU and total postoperative hospital stay 20 .…”
