There are three misunderstanding of medical students on health undertaking. Some take health undertaking as pure public institution, some believe that it's an economical entity, and others holds that there are contradiction between humanism and economic income. Such misunderstanding could lead to the lack of medical students'professional consciousness. Hence, we should guide them to deal with the relationship of professional skill and professional morals properly.

Background and purpose:Currently, subjective questionaire is the most frequently used methods to evaluate swallowing dysfunctions after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, while lacking of effective objective examinations. This study aimed to explore effective methods to evaluate swallowing dysfunctions after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and gain knowledge of the incidence and severity of swallowing dysfunctions. Methods: From Oct. 2013 to Dec. 2013, 128 consecutive outpatients with previously treated nasopharyngeal carcinoma received esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination at there regularly follow-ups to evaluate swallowing function. Among these patients, 89 were primary treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and 39 with conventional radiotherapy (CRT). In this study, each patient received esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination for 3 times with thin, thick and pasty barium and were dynamically observed using X-ray fluoroscopy from front and lateral direction. Swallowing dysfunctions were defined as follows:①The bolus could not be swallowed and blocked in the mouth;②The dilute barium diverted to the glottis or trachea;③Residual barium delayed in the pyriform sinus and vallecula;④The movement of the hyoid bone or epiglottis were restricted;⑤Bolus prolong through the pharynx;⑥Barium slowed down when went though the esophageal entrance. Results:Of the 128 patients, incidence of dysphagia was 60.2%for the entire cohort, 52.8%for IMRT group and 76.9%for CRT group. Incidence of dysphagia for IMRT group was signiifcantly lower than CRT group (P=0.018). Dysphagia incidence within 1 year, 1 to 2 years and more than 2 years after RT were 63.1%, 33.3%and 69.0%, respectively (P=0.019). Conclusion:There was a high incidence of swallowing dysfunction for the nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy and dysphagia incidence decreased when treated with IMRT. Esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination is objective method to evaluate the incidence and severity of the swallowing dysfunction.

Objective To evaluate the value of miniprobe sonography (MPS) in diagnosing gastrointestinal submucosal protrusive lesions and selecting the indicated manual for treatment. Methods According to the sizes, properties, and depth of SMTs in the gastrointestinal tract detected by the MPS, different methods of resection were performed. Results Of 24 cases, 11 SMTs lying in submucosa under 2cm in diameter (2 benign gastrointestinal stromal tumors, 3 lipomas, 5 cysts, 1 granular cell tumor) were attempted with EMR or argon plasma coagulation (APC) ; there were no complications of hemorrhage or perforation. Thirteen SMTs lying in muscularis propria or with size of SMTs above 2 cm in diameter (4 malignant GISTs, 6 benign GISTs, 1 lipoma, 2 aberrant pancreas) were performed by surgical resection. Preoperative diagnoses of SMTs by MPS were consentient with their histological diagnoses. Conclusion MPS may detect the size, property, and depth of SMTs in the gastrointestinal tract and is helpful in selecting indicated cases for endoscopic resection. Endoscopic therapy of SMTs lying in mucosa or submucosa under 2cm in diameter is a safe and effective procedure.

Objective:To investigate the association between abnormal left atrial appendage function and thrombotic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, and the independent risk factors affecting left atrial appendage function.Methods:Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, who visited the Atrial Fibrillation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 1, 2019 to June 1, 2021, were selected. According to left atrial appendage flow velocity (LAAFV), they were divided into normal left atrial appendage function group (297 patients with LAAFV ≥ 40 cm/s) and abnormal left atrial appendage function group (85 patients with LAAFV<40 cm/s). Baseline data and transesophageal echocardiography images were collected from all the patients. The occurrence of thrombotic events was recorded. Univariate and multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the correlation between abnormal left atrial appendage function and the occurrence of thrombotic events.Results:There were significant differences in gender, type of atrial fibrillation, CHA 2DS 2-VASc score, anticoagulant therapy, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, international normalized ratio (INR), left atrial diameter, proportion of patients with right atrial enlargement, left ventricular ejection fraction, inner diameter, sum of inner diameter, depth, and sum of depth of all angles of the left atrial appendage, and incidence of thrombotic events between the two groups (all P<0.05). After adjusting for confounders, multivariate unconditional logistic regression analyses showed that abnormal left atrial appendage function was closely associated with thrombotic events (β=1.168 P=0.002), and left atrial diameter ( OR=1.084, 95% CI 1.019-1.153, P=0.011) and persistent atrial fibrillation ( OR=2.323, 95% CI 1.226-4.403, P=0.010) were independent risk factors affecting left atrial appendage function. Conclusions:Abnormal left atrial appendage function is closely associated with thrombosis. The left atrial diameter and persistent atrial fibrillation were independent risk factors affecting left atrial appendage function.
