Targeting to improve clinical thinking and practice skill of interns, modified Team-based learning (TBL) based on seeing real patient was performed for interns from eight-year clinical medicine program. Teachers prepared the corresponding case material before the teaching and made teaching aids. And interns were mobilized and guided to preview and self-study in teams. During modi-fied TBL, in-class application of seeing real patient was performed to assess the effect of self-study in teams, besides individual test and team test deriving from traditional TBL. All teams were assigned one task of seeing real patient by drawing lots, and then finished the task, answered teachers' questions. And the students' performance was given comments and comprehensive scores by the judges. After the completion of teaching, the teaching effectiveness of the modified TBL was assessed from students' performance, their scores and their teaching evaluation. Practice shows that the modified TBL can not only attract students to engage in it, but also elevate their abilities of clinical thinking and practical skill. It can also cultivate their interpersonal ability.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of artificial blood vessel sheath around re-nal vein for the treatment of left renal vein entrapment syndrome. Methods Eight cases with left re-nal vein entrapment syndrome (7 males and 1 female, mean age, 16 years) with history of gross hema-turia for 6 to 36 months were reviewed. Doppler ultrasound reports suggested compression of the left renal vein at mesenteric angle in all eases. CT scan showed the abnormal angle between aorta and su-perior mesenterie artery in 5 cases. Cystscopy showed hematuria from the left ureteral orifice in 5 ca-ses. All cases with left renal vein entrapment syndrome were treated ,with the method of putting artifi-cial blood vessel as a sheath around left renal vein. Results The operations were all successful. The average operation time was 150 min, the average blood loss was 50 ml, and the average hospital stay after operation was 9 d. No surgical complications occurred. The gross hcmaturia disappeared in 6 ca-ses and Doppler ultrasound showed that left renal vein outflow was normal in 7 when the patients dis-charged from the hospital. The gross hematuria disappeared during 2-24 months' follow-up in 7 pa-tients. Conclusions The surgical aim of renal vein entrapment syndrome is to reduce the compres-sion of renal vein. The method of putting artificial blood vessel around renal vein could be a simple, safe and effective method.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and prognosis of urachal carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with urachal carcinoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2011 to November 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 23 males and 12 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.92∶1. The average age was (52.1±13.9) years old, and the median age was 55 years old. There were 8 patients with a history of smoking and 3 patients with a history of drinking. There were 5 cases of hypertension, 5 cases of diabetes, 2 cases of coronary heart disease, and 1 case of cerebral infarction. The first symptoms were hematuria in 25 cases, lower abdominal pain in 4 cases, abdominal mass in 2 cases, umbilical discharge in 1 case, and asymptomatic in 4 cases.Preoperative CT examination showed that the tumor was located on the top wall of the bladder in 24 cases and the front wall of the bladder in 11 cases. There were 25 solid tumors and 10 cystic tumors. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.5 to 11.0 cm, and the median maximum diameter of the tumor was 4.0 cm. Preoperative cystoscopy detected masses on the anterior or top wall of the bladder and urachal carcinoma was suspected in 35 cases. All 35 cases underwent enlarged partial cystectomy (conventional resection of the umbilical part), and 3 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection at the same time. Among them, 19 cases underwent open surgery, 14 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 2 cases underwent Da Vinci robot assisted laparoscopic surgery.Results:According to Mayo staging, there were 10 cases of stage Ⅰ, 18 cases of stage Ⅱ, 1 case of stage Ⅲ, and 6 cases of stage Ⅳ. The overall follow-up rate was 91.4% (32/35), and the median follow-up time was 41 (3-103) months. The 1-year survival rate was 82.5%, the 3-year survival rate was 59.3%, and the 5-year survival rate was 53.9%. Univariate analysis showed that age ( P=0.033), maximum tumor diameter ( P=0.011), lymph node metastasis ( P=0.002), distant metastasis ( P=0.011), pathological grade ( P=0.001), Mayo staging ( P=0.026) were ralated prognostic factors (all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the pathologically poor differentiation ( HR=1.640, 95% CI 1.112-2.418, P=0.013), and the largest tumor diameter ≥4cm were ( HR=5.000, 95% CI 1.099-22.755, P=0.037). Independent factors affecting patient prognosis. Conclusions:Urachal carcinoma is a malignant bladder tumor with insidient onset. Most of the first diagnosis symptoms are hematuria. When diagnosed, most patients are in the middle and late stages of clinical grading, and the prognosis is poor.Pathological grade and maximum tumor diameter are independent factors that affect the prognosis of patients with urachal carcinoma. The higher was the pathological grade, and the larger was the maximum tumor diameter, the worse was the prognosis.

Objective:To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the prostate.Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with prostate urothelial carcinoma from January 2011 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 25 patients, the age of onset was 39 to 85 years old, with an average of (63.4±11.2) years old, 13 patient presented with gross hematuria, 9 patients presented with dysuria, and 3 presented with bladder irritation. The PSA of 25 patients was within the normal range (less than 4 ng/ml). 17 cases of pelvic MRI showed abnormal signals in the bladder and prostate area, 3 cases indicated that prostate cancer had invaded the bladder, and 14 cases considered bladder cancer Invasion of the prostate suggests a cauliflower-like abnormal signal in the bladder area. 6 of this 14 patients have a history of bladder cancer. All 25 patients underwent surgical treatment, and 14 underwent transurethral diagnostic resection, of which 6 cases accepted radical cystectomy later. One patient underwent radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection 15 days after the first operation.9 cases received radical cystectomy.2 cases undergoing transurethral palliative resection due to multiple metastases before the operation.Results:The postoperative pathological diagnosis of 25 cases were all prostate urothelial carcinoma, 13 cases were accompanied by bladder urothelial carcinoma, secondary prostate urothelial carcinoma, and 12 cases were primary prostate urothelial carcinoma. After the operation, 13 patients were further treated. Among the patients with secondary prostate urothelial carcinoma, 7 patients received bladder perfusion, 2 patients received GC chemotherapy, 1 patient received local pelvic radiotherapy.25 patients were followed up for 2 to 36 months with an average of (21.5±10.1) months. Among them, lymph node metastasis were seen in 17/25 patients. lymph node metastasis were found in 7/25 before surgery, and 1/25 found lymph node metastasis during surgery. Among the patients with distant metastases afterwards, multiple metastases throughout the body (4/14), lung metastases only (6/14), and bone metastases only (4/14), the 1-year survival rate was 88% (22/25), the 2-year survival rate was 40% (10/25), and the 3-year survival rate was 28% (7/25).Conclusions:The diagnosis depends on histopathological examination. Early diagnosis may help improve prognosis. The first choice is a comprehensive treatment based on radical surgery.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of bladder squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC)and bladder adenocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 107 patients with nonurothelial carcinoma of the bladder admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2011 to January 2019 was performed. Among the 107 patients, 78 were males and 29 were females(ratio 2.69∶1), and the median age of onset was 62.0 years. According to histological types, patients were divided into SqCC group, urachal adenocarcinoma group and non-urachal adenocarcinoma group. There were 55 cases in the SqCC group, including 40 males and 15 females. Their mean age was 69.0(58.0, 75.0) years. 14 cases had the history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 35 cases, bladder irritation in 13 cases, dysuria in 2 cases and pain in 5 cases .Tumors located at the anterior and posterior walls in 18 cases, at the lateral wall in 27 cases, at the triangular area in 8 cases and at the apical wall in 2 cases. The average diameter of tumor was 4.5(3.0, 6.0) cm. 37 cases suffered with single tumor and 18 cases suffered with multiple tumors. The surgical method was radical cystectomy in 38 cases, partial cystectomy in 4 cases, TURBT in 9 cases, interventional surgery in 2 cases, and no operation in 2 cases. There were 20 cases in the urachal adenocarcinoma group, including 14 males and 6 females; age 53.5(43.5, 57.8) years; 6 cases with a history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 16 cases, bladder irritation in 1 case, pain in 2 cases and asymptomatic in 1 case. Tumors located at anterior and posterior walls in 4 cases and at apical wall in 16. The average diameter of tumor was 3.0(2.0, 4.8) cm. Single tumor was present in 18 cases, multiple tumors were present in 2 cases. The surgical method was partial cystectomy in 16 cases, radical cystectomy in 1 case, TURBT in 1 case and no operation in 2 cases. There were 32 cases in the non-urachal adenocarcinoma group, including 24 males and 8 females. Their mean age was 55.0(46.3, 70.8) years.11 cases had a history of smoking. The clinic manifestation included hematuria in 16 cases, bladder irritation in 3 cases, dysuria in one case and pain in 7 cases. Tumor located at anterior and posterior walls in 17 cases, at lateral wall in 7 cases, at triangular area in 5 cases and at apical wall in 3 cases. The average diameter of tumor was 3.6(2.0, 4.5) cm. 23 cases suffered with single tumor, 9 cases suffered with multiple tumors.The surgical method was radical cystectomy in 11 cases, partial cystectomy in 9 cases, TURBT in 9 cases , and no operation in 3 cases. The preoperative data of the three groups of tissue types were compared, the differences of age of onset, tumor diameter, tumor location, reason for treatment, operation method ( P<0.05)among the 3 groups were statistically significant. The clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of the 3 groups of tissue types were compared, and the Cox proportional regression risk model was used to analyze the clinical factors affecting the prognosis. Results:91 patients were followed up, the overall follow-up rate was 85.1%, the median follow-up time was 26(7, 48) months. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 54.1% and 42.2%, respectively. In the SqCC group, 11 cases received chemotherapy; 3 cases received postoperative radiotherapy; 12 cases received postoperative perfusion.10 cases had recurrence; 17 cases had lymph node metastasis; 19 cases had distant metastasis; 5 cases were pT x in pT stage, 36 cases were pT 1-pT 2, 14 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 19 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 4 cases had well differentiated, 24 cases had moderately differentiated and 8 cases had poorly differentiated. In the urachal adenocarcinoma group, 7 cases received chemotherapy, 3 cases had recurrence, 2 cases had lymph node metastasis, 2 cases had distant metastasis; 1 case was pT x in pT stage, 16 cases were pT 1-pT 2, 3 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 9 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 3 cases had well differentiated, and 5 cases had moderately differentiated, 3 cases had poorly differentiated. In the urachal adenocarcinoma group, 3 cases received chemotherapy, 1 case received postradiotherapy, 11 cases received postoperative perfusion; 10 cases had recurrence. 5 cases had lymph node metastasis, 4 cases had distant metastasis, 6 cases were pT x, 21 cases were pT 1-pT 2 and 5 cases were pT 3-pT 4. 14 cases had unknown tumor differentiation, 8 cases had moderately differentiated and 10 cases had poorly differentiated.The postoperative general data of the three groups of tissue types were compared. There was statistically significant difference between whether there was postoperative perfusion and whether there was distant metastasis (all P<0.05). The univariate analysis results showed gender, age, surgical method, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, pT staging, tumor differentiation and histological type were risk factors that affect the prognosis(all P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that women ( HR=2.604, P=0.032) and distant metastases ( HR=2.571, P=0.026) were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Conclusions:SqCC and adenocarcinoma are clinically rare and have poor prognosis. They often present with hematuria. Surgical treatment is the first choice. Radical cystectomy is the first choice for SqCC and non-urachal adenocarcinoma, and extended partial cystectomy is the first choice for urachal adenocarcinoma. Female and distant metastasis are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients.
