Objective:To explore the application effect of self-management intervention in patients with bladder cancer undergoing cutaneous ureterostomy.Methods:A total of 119 patients who received radical total cystectomy and cutaneous ureterostomy in Department of Urinary Surgery of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital from January to October 2019 and met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research objects. According to the random number table, they were randomly divided into the control group ( n=60) and in the intervention group ( n=59) . The control group adopted conventional nursing methods, while the intervention group implemented self-management intervention on the basis of the control group. After 6 months of intervention, Adaptation Scale for Stoma Patients and Quality of Life Scale for Stoma Patients were used to compare the adaptation level and quality of life of patients of the two groups. Results:After intervention, the total score of ostomy adaptation level (57.26±10.35) and scores of various dimensions [acceptance (16.43±3.64) , continuous worry (24.18±5.11) and positive attitude towards life (16.65±3.26) ] of patients in the intervention group were higher than those of the control group [ (51.07±10.84) , (15.06±3.73) , (22.02±5.35) , (13.99±3.18) ], and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.185, 2.027, 2.252, 4.506; P<0.05) . After the intervention, the total score (136.10±35.57) and various scores [physical health (32.41±7.44) , mental health (49.22±14.36) , social health (35.36±9.04) and mental health (19.11±5.98) ] of patients in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group [ (153.09±36.19) , (36.02±7.63) , (54.84±15.29) , (39.15±9.76) and (23.08±5.86) ], and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.582, 2.613, 2.066, 2.197, 3.658; P<0.05) . Conclusions:Self-management intervention can improve the stoma adaptation level of patients with bladder cancer undergoing cutaneous ureterostomy and improve the quality of life of them, so it is suitable to be applied in the continuous care of patients with stoma.

Objective To explore the situation and question of standardized training of residents/graduate students in cardiac surgery by questionnaire survey. Methods From September 2010 to May 2012, 61 resident physicians/graduate students were chosen as research objects in Department of Cardiac Surgery, Peking University Third Hospital. A total of 61 questionnaires were sent out, with a recovery rate of 100%,and an effective rate of 95.1%.The contents of investigation included standardized training content design, standardized training management, the time and"environment" pressure, compliance training effect analysis,student opinion and others,a total of 14 options.EpiData 2.1a software was used to sort and record the data. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The enumeration data were compared by chi square test.Results During the period of training,the most expected teaching method was"small lecture", accounting for 63.8%; The most difficult part of the process of cardiac surgery training was "postoperative care", accounting for 69%; 100% of the trainees thought that it would be helpful for future work through cardiac training;8.3% of the trainees thought the teachers of cardiac surgery teaching consciousness was not strong; resident weekend "in the hospital" was higher than the proportion of graduate students, and most graduate students chose weekend "in the experiment and research work", the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Appropriate standardized training program should be combined with the students' background; Teaching team construction and clinical reasonable and effective clinical skills train-ing system is an important link to ensure the quality of teaching.The combination of residents' standardized training and postgraduate education of professional degree remains to be tracked and evaluated in a long time.The feedback from all aspects of the training should be paid more attention to,and the training details should be improved.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency in the treatment of overactive bladder(OAB).Methods:A prospective, multicenter, non-randomized controlled trial was conducted. Eligible patients were divided into test group and control group in Zhejiang Provincial People’Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2019 to June 2020. Inclusion criteria: patients diagnosed with OAB, and bladder capacity>100ml. Exclusion criteria: pregnant and lactating women; patients with secondary OAB symptoms such as urinary tract obstruction; patients with uncontrolled urinary tract infection within 1 week; patients in stable stage by using other treatment methods; patients implanted with any nerve stimulator, cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator; patients with malignant tumors, serious cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, renal insufficiency or received BTX treatment in recent 12 months. The patients were allocated to test group and the control group in a ratio of 2∶1 according to the time sequence of the visit. The patients in the test group were treated with radiofrequency treatment. After entering the group, they were treated for 4 times at the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th week respectively. In the control group, the energy was turned off during the radiofrequency treatment. The patients were followed-up every week until the end of the 12th week. The treatment success rate [the average frequency of urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline or returned to the normal (≤8 times/day) or the average frequency of urgent urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline], the frequency of urination, urgent urination and nocturnal urination before and after treatment, the residual urine volume of the bladder, the quality of life (QOL) score and the occurrence of catheter related adverse events in two groups were compared.Results:114 patients were enrolled in the study, including 76 patients in the test group and 38 patients in the control group. There were no significant differences in the age [(44.2±12.8) vs. (41.7 ± 12.1) years old], male female ratio (13/63 vs. 4/34), average course of disease [2.0(1.2, 5.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0, 4.0) years], the frequency of urination[12.8 (10.6, 16.8) vs. 12.8 (10.3, 17.0) times], urgency urination [11.8(9.3, 15.8) vs. 11.8 (9.0, 17.0) times], nocturia [2.7 (1.3, 3.7) vs. 2.3(0.7, 3.3) times], residual urine volume of bladder [12.0 (3.0, 28.0) vs. 14.0 (3.7, 20.0) ml ] and the QOL score [5.0(4.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(4.0, 5.0)]before the treatment between the two groups ( P>0.05). The treatment success rate in the test group was 76.3% (58/76), while 26.3% (10/38) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). There were significant differences between the test group and control group in the frequency of urination [9.7 (7.7, 12.0) vs. 12.9 (9.6, 15.7) times], urgent urination [7.3 (5.0, 10.0) vs. 11.7 (7.3, 15.3) times], nocturia [1.3 (0.7, 2.0) vs. 1.7 (1.0, 3.0) times] and the QOL score of the patients[3.0(1.0, 3.0) vs. 4.0(3.0, 4.5)]after the treatment(all P<0.05). The frequency of urination, urgency urination, nocturia, the residual urine volume and the QOL score in the test group were significantly improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment.The frequency of urination, nocturia, residual urine volume and the QOL score in the control group were improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment. 13 (11.4%) patients had catheter related adverse events. In the test group and the control group, there were 7 cases of macroscopic hemorrhage caused by the placement of instruments (5/76 vs. 2/38), 5 cases of acute urinary tract infection within 3 days (3/76 vs. 2/38), and 1 case of instrument breakage (catheter breakage) (0/76 vs. 1/38). There were no significant differences in the adverse events between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Radiofrequency treatment of OAB can effectively improve the symptoms of patients, improve the QOL of patients, and has low incidence of adverse events, with good efficacy and safety.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transapical mitral valve repair with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) by using LifeClip system. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 7 symptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe or severe MR who received transapical mitral valve repair by using the LifeClip system in our hospital from July to November 2021. There were 5 males and 2 females with an average age of 76.0±7.5 years. Results There were 2 patients with degenerative MR and 5 patients with functional MR. All of the procedures were successful and 6 patients received 1 LifeClip while the other one patient received 2. The operation time was 135.7±46.9 min, the mechanical ventilation time was 12 (3, 14) h, and the hospital stay time was 18.1±4.1 d. No serious complications or death occurred during the perioperative or follow-up period. MR reduction by ≥ grades was achieved in all the patients at the one-month follow-up. The classification of cardiac function was improved in varying degrees. Conclusion Transapical mitral valve repair using the LifeClip system shows good safety and efficacy for severe MR patients, and MR degree is significantly improved at early follow-up. However, the benefit of LifeClip should be validated in a larger sample size of Chinese population and through long-term follow-up.
