Objective To explore the application effect of problem-based health education mode in patients with upper urinary tract calculi .Methods Effect of two different health education modes for urolithiasis patients in Peking University Third Hospital were researched .The patients were divided into observation group with 104 cases and control group with 103 cases, according to their order of admission of odd and even numbers . Patients in the observation group were assessed by a self-designed questionnaire concerning urolithiasis knowledge (with full score 20 points).Health education was conducted according to the patients′scores on key parts of the disease .Health education of the patients was recorded , according to which problem-based health education was conducted .Routine comprehensive health education mode was conducted to patients in the control group.When leaving hospital , routine discharge education and continuing nursing care were conducted to both groups.4 weeks after the operation , satisfaction of patients were evaluated , and disease-related knowledge of the patients was evaluated again .Results Patients′knowledge and attitude to health education were not statistically different (P>0.05).The patients′scores of knowledge 4 weeks after the operation were (15.49 ±2.85) in the observation group, higher than those in the control group (10.22 ±3.41) (t =12.09, P <0.001).The patients′scores of satisfaction were (9.97 ±0.17) in the observation group, higher than those in the control group (9.89 ±0.31) (t=2.249, P=0.026).Conclusions Assessment of the patients′health knowledge by questionnaires when admitted to the hospital helps to determine their need of knowledge concerning the disease . Establishment of health education record helps to give prominence to the key points in the education .Consistent in content, fine in effect, health education has won high satisfaction among patients .

Objective:To evaluate the differences and aesthetic meaning of stable vitiligo treatment in the face and neck region using suction blister transplantation or noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells.Methods:Sixty-four stable vitiligo patients (25 males and 39 females with age ranges from 10 to 46 years, average 25 years) in the face and neck region were randomly divided into two groups (32 patients in each group): one group received suction blister transplantation, while other group received noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells. Patients′treatment effectiveness, pigmentation and piecing deformity were evaluated in postoperative 3 months and 6 months.Results:In the postoperative 3 months and 6 months, the effectiveness of suction blister transplantation group was 68.75% (22/32) and 90.63% (29/32), respectively, while the effectiveness of noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells group was 59.37% (19/32) and 87.50% (28/32), respectively, in which no significant differences were found between two groups ( P>0.05). No obvious pigmentation and piecing deformity were found in noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells group, which were much better than the suction blister transplantation group in postoperative 3 months and 6 months. Conclusions:Both suction blister transplantation and noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells could bring good treatment effectiveness for patients of stable vitiligo in the face and neck region. Compared with suction blister transplantation, noncultured autologous suspension of epidermal cells could offer better aesthetic appearance.

Objective:To summarize the clinical diagnosis and treatment process of breast implant associated-anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in symptomatic patients with textured breast implants in Peking Union Medical College Hospital in order to provide reference for the management of such patients in China.Methods:From January 2019 to September 2021, 23 symptomatic patients with textured breast implants were admitted to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, aged 29-52 years, with an average of 36.2 years. All patients agreed to remove the prosthesis by surgery, and accepted cytology, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemical examination of the fluid around the implants and capsule tissue before or during the operation to complete the BIA-ALCL screening process.Results:All 23 patients presented with unilateral periprosthetic fluid accumulation, with fluid volume ranging from 20 to 130 ml, of which 7 cases were combined with periprosthetic contracture. No tumor cells were found in the pathological findings of effusion and the capsule tissue, and the BIA-ALCL pathologic screening results (CD 30 and ALK) were all negative. No bleeding, infection, wound dehiscence and other complications occurred after the operation.Conclusions:A personalized clinical process should be developed for symptomatic patients with textured breast implants. Attention should be paid to imaging and pathological examinations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of suction blister transplantation in improving the efficacy of ReCell technique in the treatment of vitiligo.Methods:Patients were divided into three groups, namely, vitiligo patients without history of suction blister therapy, patients with ineffective suction blister therapy and patients with effective suction blister therapy. There were 30 patients in each group. All patients were treated with standard procedure of ReCell technique. The color recovery effect of leukoplakia was observed 3 and 6 months after operation, and the incidence of complications was also observed.Results:The effective rate of color recovery 3 and 6 months after operation were as follow: in patients without history of suction blister group, the effective rate of three months was 53.3%, and that of six months was 63.3%; in patients with ineffective suction blister group, the effective rate was 43.3% in three months and 50.0% in six months, and in patients with effective suction blister group, the effective rate was 76.7% in three months and 90.0% in six months. No obvious complications were observed in the three groups.Conclusions:For the treatment of stable vitiligo with ReCell technique, suction blister method is a simple and effective method for screening patients.

Objective:To compare the pros and cons of harvesting ear cartilage through anterior and posterior auricular approaches during rhinoplasty.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, 63 patients with otochondral rhinoplasty in our hospital were enrolled in this study, 60 were female and 3 were male; the average age was 31.6 years (range, 18 to 43) . They were randomly divided into anterior auricular approach group with 32 cases (64 sides) and posterior auricular approach group with 31 cases (62 sides). Surgical duration, complications and postoperative scar of the two methods were analyzed.Results:The average time for harvesting the ear cartilage through posterior auricular approach and anterior auricular approach was (20.8±1.7) min and (12.6±1.1) min, respectively ( P<0.01). The overall complication rate was 15.6% for posterior auricular approach group and 4.8% for anterior auricular approach group. The wound healed well in both groups, and there was no significant difference in postoperative scar between the two groups during an average 13 months follow-up period. Conclusions:While both the anterior and the posterior auricular approaches present with similar inconspicuous scarring, the use of anterior auricular approach alone to harvest ear cartilage during rhinoplasty provides both the surgeons and the patients with easier access, shorter surgical duration, and fewer complications. Hence, we believe that the anterior auricular approach possesses greater advantages than the posterior auricular approach.

Objective:To explore the classification and treatment strategies of developmental breast asymmetry (DBA).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in adult female patients with developmental breast asymmetry deformity who underwent surgery between January 2005 to June 2019 in the Plastic Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. According to different clinical manifestations, DBA was divided into three types which adopted to different surgical strategies. Postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were evaluated.Results:A total of 203 patients were included in the study; 42.36% (86 cases) were type Ⅰ, 31.03% (63 cases) were type Ⅱ and 26.60% (54 cases) were type Ⅲ. The number of follow-up patients accounted for 79.3% (161/203). The mean follow-up time was 9 months. There were one case of poor healing of the axillary incision in latissimus dorsi muscle flap, two cases of seroma, five cases of Baker grade Ⅰ capsule contracture, two cases of Baker grade Ⅱ capsule contracture and one cases of small nodules in autologous fat breast augmentation. With regard to patient satisfaction, 80.1% (129 cases) felt satisfied with the aesthetic results, 15% (24 cases) felt good, 3.7%. (6 cases) felt average and 1.2% (2 cases) felt unsatisfied.Conclusions:This study shows that the clinical manifestations of DBA are varied, and our classification method is an effective and useful tool to guide the surgical treatment. Individualized surgical design is essential for aesthetical results.
