ObjectiveTo explore the application effect of standardized management on video-electroencephalogram (VEEG) monitoring.MethodsIn January 2018, a multidisciplinary standardized management team composed with doctors, technicians, and nurses was established. The standardized management plan for VEEG monitoring from outpatient, pre-hospital appointment, hospitalization and post-discharge follow-up was developed; the special quilt for epilepsy patients was designed and customized, braided for the patient instead of shaving head, standardized the work flow of the staff, standardized the health education of the patients and their families, and standardized the quality control of the implementation process. The standardized managemen effect carried out from January to December 2018 (after standardized managemen) was compared with the management effect from January to December 2017 (before standardized managemen).ResultsAfter standardized management, the average waiting time of patients decreased from (2.08±1.13) hours to (0.53±0.21) hours, and the average hospitalization days decreased from (6.63±2.54) days to (6.14±2.17) days. The pass rate of patient preparation increased from 63.14% to 90.09%. The capture rate of seizure onset increased from 73.37% to 97.08%. The accuracy of the record increased from 33.12% to 94.10%, the doctor’s satisfaction increased from 76.34±29.53 to 97.99±9.27, and the patient’s satisfaction increased from 90.04±18.97 to 99.03±6.51. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionStandardization management is conducive to ensuring the homogeneity of clinical medical care, reducing the average waiting time and the average hospitalization days, improving the capture rate and accuracy of seizures, ensuring the quality of medical care and improving patient’s satisfaction.
Objectives To assess the efficacy and safety of standard trauma craniectomy (STC), compared with limited craniectomy (LC) for severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) with refractory intracranial hypertension. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials-Central (The Cochrane Library Issue 3, 2008), MEDLINE (1966 to October 2008), EMbase (1984 to October 2008), CMB-disc (1979 to October 2006) and CNKI (1979 to October 2008) for completed studies, as well as clinical trial registries for ongoing studies and completed studies with unpublished data. The reference of included studies and relevant supplement or conference abstracts were handsearched. The search results were extracted, and then the quality of included studies was assessed using RevMan 5.0. Meta-analysis was conducted if the data was similar enough. Results Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 716 participants were identified. Compared with the LC group, the STC group had statistically significant, more favorable outcome on the basis of the Glasgow Outcome Scale, using measures such as mortality, efficiency, and survival, compared with those of LC group, which had statistic difference. The mean ICP fell more rapidly and to a lower level in the STC group than in the LC group. There was no statistically significant difference on the incidence of postoperative complications, including delayed hematoma, incision cerebrospinal fluid fistula, encephalomyelocele, traumatic epilepsy, and intracranial infection as well. Conclusion The efficacy of STC is superior to LC for severe TBI with refractory intracranial hypertension resulting from unilateral frontotemporoparietal contusion with or without intracerebral or subdural hematoma.
ObjectiveTo summary the standard treatment for early gastric cancer. MethodsThe current early gastric cancer treatment guidelines around the world were analyzed and the standardized treatment patterns for early gastric cancer were concluded. ResultsThe accurate preoperative evaluation for early gastric cancer is the basis of standardized treatment which can be divided into staging evaluation and histological evaluation.The staging evaluation is focused on the gastric wall invasion and lymph node involvement of the tumor while the histologic evaluation emphasize the histological type and grading of the tumor.According to the precise evaluation for early gastric cancer, endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, and multimodal therapy can be applied individually to the patients.Different treatment methods have their indications, but the indications of the therapies in different guidelines are suggested with slight differences. ConclusionIn clinical practice, the choice of treatment should be made with comprehensive consideration of diagnosis and individual characteristics of patients to achieve the most benefit on prognosis.
Objective To compare the cl inical results between high-flexion and standard cruciate-stabling prostheses in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by using the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36). Methods Between August 2007 and January 2009, 98 patients (106 knees) underwent TKA with standard cruciate-stabl ing prostheses (standard group), and 46 patients (50 knees) underwent TKA with high-flexion prostheses (high-flexion group). In standard group, there were30 males (32 knees) and 68 females (74 knees) with an age of (70.0 ± 3.5) years, including 78 cases (82 knees) of osteoarthritis (OA) and 20 cases (24 knees) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a disease duration of (14.5 ± 3.3) years; the Hospital for Special Surgery Scoring System (HSS) and the range of motion (ROM) were 56.1 ± 21.6 and (89.0 ± 16.1)°, respectively. In high-flexion group, there were 8 males (10 knees) and 38 females (40 knees) with an age of (68.6 ± 8.9) years, including 44 cases (47 knees) of OA and 2 cases (3 knees) of RA with a disease duration of (13.9 ± 4.1) years; the HSS and ROM were 58.9 ± 25.3 and (91.0 ± 19.3)°, respectively. There was no significant difference in the general data (P gt; 0.05) between 2 groups, so the cl inical data of 2 groups had comparabil ity. Results In standard group, poor wound heal ing and persistent headache caused by cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 1 case, respectively. In high-flexion group, transient common peroneal nerve palsy occurred in 1 case. There was significant difference (P lt; 0.05) in the hospital ization expense between standard group [ (39 000 ± 6 000)] and highflexion goup [ (52 000 ± 8 000)]. The follow-up time was 12-26 months (18 months on average) in standard group (91 cases, 98 knees) and 11-19 months (13 months on average) in high-flexion group (44 cases, 47 knees). The SF-36 showed significant difference in role-physical score (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference in other 7 indices scores (P gt; 0.05). At the final follow-up, the ROM was (129.1 ± 19.2)° in high-flexion group and (123.6 ± 16.7)° in standard group; showing significant difference (P lt; 0.05). The HSS was 91.2 ± 17.6 in high-flexion group and 92.5 ± 14.5 in standard group; showing no significant difference (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion After TKA, the ROM in high-flexion group is superior to that in standard group, but there is no obvious advantages in terms of the HSS and SF- 36 outcomes.
ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary tumor detected by 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and clinicopathologic factors in stageⅠnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and investigate the prognostic value of PET/CT on pathological feature. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 182 patients with stageⅠNSCLC who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan before lobectomy or segmentectomy in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from April 2013 to June 2014. There were 121 male and 61 female patients with their ages of 34-85 (68.1±9.8) years. Clinicopathologic factors including sex, age, smoking history, histology, TNM stage, T stage, tumor size, lymphatic vessel invasion, blood vessel invasion (BVI) and visceral pleural invasion were evaluated to identify the independent factors affecting SUVmax by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. The diagnostic efficiency and best cut-off point of SUVmax were calculated by the receiver operating characteristic curve. ResultsThe univariate analysis identified that sex (P=0.015), smoking history (P=0.001), histology (P < 0.001), TNM stage (P=0.004), T stage (P=0.001), tumor size (P < 0.001), BVI (P=0.001) were factors affecting SUVmax. Only histology (P=0.001), tumor size (P=0.006), BVI (P=0.009) were found to be significant independent factors according to multivariate regression analysis. The SUVmax of primary tumor was a predictor for BVI with the highest diagnostic accuracy at a cut-off value of 4.85, the sensitivity and specificity were 65.5% and 71.7%. ConclusionThe SUVmax is correlated with histology, tumor size and BVI in stageⅠNSCLC, higher in patients with non-adenocarcinoma, lager tumor and positive BVI. Furthermore, the probability of BVI could be predicted by SUVmax of the primary tumor.

Prosthetics and orthotics is an applied discipline which require students to have a good ability of clinical application. However, the present doctor-patient tension poses great difficulties in students’ clinical practice and study, and thus proposes higher requirements in the talent cultivation. Standardized patients (SP), as a newly established teaching mode, has been applied well in such areas as internal medicine, diagnostics and clinical care for about 20 years in this country. However, in prosthetics and orthotics, we hardly have any SP teaching experience in China. According to the experience of using SP in clinical medicine, this article discusses the necessity of SP in the teaching of prosthetics and orthotics, explains the advantages and disadvantages of SP teaching, and analyzes the feasibility of SP application in the teaching of prosthetics and orthotics under the present situation. Finally, this article concludes that using SP can improve students’ motivation, interest in learning and communication skills with patients. Therefore, it will become a research direction and development trend of prosthetics and orthotics.
Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of extended and standard surgery for carcinoma of head of pancreas by using meta-analysis. Methods Related articls （1990-2012） were searched in Pubmed， WOS， Embase， WanFang， SinoMed， and CNKI. Study on quality of these literatures were evaluated by using the Jadad score. The patients with pancreatic head carcinoma underwent extended radical resection and standard radical resection were classified to treatment group and control group， respectively. The mortality， morbidity， and survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation in the two groups were evaluated by using meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 studies fitted the selection crit-eria， including 744 patients. Among them 357 cases were in standard radical resection group and 387 cases in the extended radical resection group. The results of meta-analysis showed that： ①The morbidity after operation did not significantly differed between the extended radical resection group and standard radical resection group （OR=1.360， 95% CI=0.990-1.870， P=0.050）. ②The mortality of the two groups did not significantly differed （OR=0.870， 95% CI=0.430-1.760，P=0.700）. ③There were no significant differences in survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year between the two groups （OR=0.880， 95% CI=0.450-1.720， P=0.710；OR=0.940， 95% CI=0.590-1.480，P=0.710；OR=1.000， 95% CI=0.600-1.67， P=1.000）. Conclusion Compared with standard radical resection， extended radical resection can not improve the survival rates of 1-， 3-， and 5-year after operation， and can’t reduce the mortality and morbidity after operation

ObjectiveTo analyze the value of structured electronic medical records for pulmonary nodules in increasing the ability of outpatient service and hospital management by resident physicians.MethodsWe included 40 trainees [94 males and 26 females aged 22-31 (26.45±2.81) years] who were trained in the standardized training base for surgical residents in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021. The trainees were randomly divided into two groups including a structured group using the structured electronic medical record for pulmonary nodule and an unstructured group using unstructured electronic medical record designed by our department. The time of completing hospitalization records and first-time course records, the quality of course records, the accuracy of issuing admission orders, the quality of teaching rounds, and patient’s satisfaction between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results(1) The average time in the structured group to complete inpatient medical records was significantly shorter than that of the unstructured group (53.61±8.12 min vs. 84.25±16.09 min, P<0.010); the average time in the structured group to complete the first-time course record was shorter than that of the unstructured group (13.20±5.43 min vs. 27.51±8.62 min, P<0.010), and there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups. (2) The overall teaching round quality score of the students in the structured group was significantly higher than that in the unstructured group (84.21±15.61 vs. 70.91±12.28, P<0.010). (3) The score of the medical record writing quality of the structured group was significantly higher than that of the unstructured group (80.25±9.22 vs. 74.22±5.40, P<0.010).ConclusionThe structured electronic medical record specific for pulmonary nodules can effectively improve the training efficiency in the standardized training of surgical residents, improve the clinical ability to deal with pulmonary nodules, improve the integrity and accuracy of key clinical data collected by students, and improve doctor-patient relationship.
