Objective To summarize the early experience of thymectomy by robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with the da Vinci S Surgical System.Methods A total of 16 patients was underwent thymectomy from October 2016 to May 2017 by RATS.Among them,there were 10 cases of thymic hyperplasia,5 cases of thymoma and 1 case of thymic small cell carcinoma,including 11 cases of myasthenia gravis (MG).The Osserman types were as follows:type Ⅰ (5),type ⅡA (3),type ⅡB (2),and type Ⅲ (1).Clinical data were collected and analyzed.Results The operations were successfully accomplished by RATS in all the 16 patients without any conversion to open surgery and major complication.The docking time was 2-45 (11.69 ± 11.03) min.The operation time was 47-152 (84.06 ± 25.67) min.The blood loss was 0-150 (57.50 ± 37.32) ml.The diameter of thymus or tumor was 4-19.5 cm and (8.22 ± 3.64) cm.Fourteen cases were removed tracheal intubation in the operation day,and the other 2 cases taked off in 6th and 8th days.One case occurred myasthenia gravis crisis after surgery.All patients were followed up for 2-7 months after discharge without MG recurrence.Conclusions The da Vinci S Surgical System can be safely,accurately and stably used for thymectomy.

Objective:To summarize the experience of robotic and thoracoscopic segmentectomy in Daping Hospital, Army Medical University, and comparison analysis the clinical application value for early-stage lung cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to continuously enroll 190 patients, 100 who received robotic(33 males and 67 females, median age of 51 years)and 90 who received VATS(34 males and 56 females, median age of 54 years), who underwent segmentectomy between June 2018 and October 2019. Perioperative outcomes(the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative thoracic drainage volume and time, pain score, complications, postoperative hospital stay and survival and mortality) were compared.Results:All the patients successfully completed the surgery and recovered from hospital, with no perioperative death.The baseline characteristics(sex, age, clinical symptoms, smoking status, underlying disease, tumor size, pathological type) and type of segmentectomy were comparable. There was significant difference in operative time[120(interquartile range, IQR 60-225)min vs. 155( IQR 75-330)min, P<0.001], blood loss[30( IQR 20-400) ml vs. 100( IQR 20-1 600) ml, P<0.001] between the robotic and VATS groups, respectively. But there was no significant difference in postoperative thoracic drainagevolume[4( IQR 1-15) days vs. 4( IQR 2-29) days, P=0.547], postoperative thoracic time[755( IQR 200-3 980)ml vs. 815( IQR 280-3 920)ml, P=0.902], pain score[2.33( IQR 0.88-4.75) points vs. 3.13( IQR 0.95-5.29)points, P=0.199], complications[7.4%(14/190) vs. 6.3%(12/190), P=0.303], postoperative hospital stay[7( IQR 3-19) days vs. 6( IQR 4-21) days, P=0.405] , number of lymph nodes[(4.83±3.18) vs.(6.15±4.1), P=0.255] between the robotic and VATS groups, respectively. The follow-up time was 6.5( IQR 1-26) months in the two groups, without recurrence, metastasis or death. Conclusion:Robotic lung segmentectomy is safe and feasible. This approach might lead to a better in operative time and blood loss. The short-term efficacy is similar with thoracoscopy, and the long-term efficacy needs further follow-up time.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of case-based learning (CBL) combined with clinical pathway in thoracic surgery practice teaching.Methods:A total of 30 clinical undergraduate students who practiced from January 2018 to August 2018 were selected and randomly divided into the traditional group and the research group. The traditional group used traditional teaching mode, while the research group adopted the CBL combined with clinical pathway teaching. The scores of theoretical examination and practice skills assessment and the case analysis ability of the two groups were compared at the time of department. In addition, the evaluation of the teaching effect of the two groups of teachers and students was observed through anonymous questionnaires. SPSS 21.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The scores of the students in the research group were better than those in the traditional group, including score of theoretical examination [(88.20±4.02) vs. (80.76±4.62), P<0.001], score of practice skills assessment [(90.80±2.16) vs. (84.80±3.07), P<0.001] and case analysis ability [(89.80±3.34) vs. (81.86±4.31), P<0.001]. The differences were statistically significant. At the same time, the questionnaire showed that the research group was superior to the traditional group in improving students' learning interest, clinical skills, case analysis ability, clinical communication ability, theoretical knowledge understanding and clinical thinking ability, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). While the two groups had no statistically significant difference in students' satisfaction with teachers ( P=0.083). Conclusion:The CBL method combined with clinical pathway teaching method can improve the teaching effect of thoracic surgery practice, which is worth popularizing.

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance has become a serious global issue. Bacterial characteristics, such as antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence-associated genes, plasmid types, and phylogenetic relationship among different strains, are the keys to unravel the occurrence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. However, the accuracy and efficiency of the traditional techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction and pulsed field gel electrophoresis is insufficient to underlying the mystery of antimicrobial resistance. Recently, the whole genome sequencing and high-throughput bioinformatics analysis have been successfully used in antimicrobial resistance studies, helping scientists to obtain the nature of antimicrobial resistance bacteria quickly, and more precisely to paint the evolutionary relationship among different strains. Therefore, in this study, we aim to systematically introduce the recent development of whole genome sequencing analysis, including different methods and corresponding characteristics of library preparation, platform sequencing, data analysis, and the latest application of the technology in the antimicrobial resistance research. We hope that this review can provide more comprehensive knowledge about whole genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis for antimicrobial resistance research.

Objective    To analyze the surgical efficacy and influencing factors of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with thymic atrophy after thymectomy. Methods    The clinical data of MG patients with thymic atrophy undergoing thymectomy between October 2014 and May 2018 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University and Shijiazhuang People Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results    A total of 71 patients were collected, including 40 males and 31 females with a mean age of 45.17±12.42 years. All patients received the surgery successfully. After the surgery, 20 (28.17%) patients were stable remission, 12 (16.90%) patients were minimal manifestation status,19 (26.76%) patients were improved, 5 (7.04%) patients showed no change, 3 (4.23%) patients were worsened, 10 (14.08%) patients were exacerbated and 2 (2.82%) patients were dead. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative illness duration (OR=4.61, 95%CI 1.13-18.85, P=0.03), and postoperative pyridostigmine combined with immunosuppressive (OR=0.12, 95%CI 0.03-0.45, P=0.00) were independent risk factors for long-term efficacy of thymectomy for MG patients with thymic atrophy. Conclusion    Early surgery after diagnosis of MG and postoperative pyridostigmine combined with immunosuppressive treatment is beneficial to the prognosis of MG patients with thymic atrophy.

Objective    To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of robot-assisted lung segmentectomy through anterior approach. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 77 patients who underwent robotic lung segmentectomy through anterior approach in our hospital between June 2018 to October 2019. There were 22 males and 55 females, aged 53 (30-71) years. Patients' symptoms, general conditions, preoperative imaging data, distribution of resected lung segments, operation time, bleeding volume, number of lymph node dissected, postoperative duration of chest tube insertion, drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, perioperative death and other indicators were analyzed.

The postoperative pathology revealed early lung cancer in 48 patients, and benign tumors in 29 patients. The mean clinical parameters were following: the robot Docking time 1-30 (M=4) min, the operation time 30-170 (M=76) min, the blood loss 20-400 (M=30) mL, the drainage tube time 2-15 (M=4) days, the drainage fluid volume 200-3 980 (M=780) mL and the postoperative hospital time 3-19 (M=7) days. Conclusion    Robotic lung segmentectomy through anterior approach is a safe and convenient operation method for pulmonary nodules.

Objective    To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 180 patients who underwent robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach in our hospital between April 2017 and February 2018. There were 97 males and 83 females, aged 59.5 (32.0-83.0) years. The clinical effects were analyzed. Results    One patient was transferred to thoracotomy due to tumor invasion of adjacent blood vessels and injury to the blood vessels, and there was no perioperative death. There were 8.5 (1.0-35.0) dissected lymph nodes for each patient. The median operation time was 120 (50-360) min, including robot Docking time 5 (1-23) min and robot operation time 65 (7-270) min. The median blood loss was 50 (5-1 500) mL, 132 (73.3%) patients had malignant tumors and median drainage time was 5 (2-30) d. The mean postoperative pain score was 3.4±0.7 points and the postoperative hospital time was 8 (2-32) d. At the median follow-up of 24 months, 11 patients developed recurrence and metastasis, and 3 died. Conclusion    Robot-assisted lobectomy through anterior approach is a safe and convenient operation method, which is worthy of clinical application.
