1.Clinical thinking residents should possess in standardized training in respiratory medicine depart-ment and its training strategies
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2017;16(6):625-628
Standardized training of resident doctors is the golden stage for clinicians to establish good clinical thinking. Although respiratory disease is common, there are serious and critical diseases, which need to develop clinical thinking and improve the analytical ability. The resident physicians' instructor should help residents to establish the correct diagnostic thinking through the following means: clinical demonstration teaching show, guidance of reading the relevant literature and books, strengthening the basic skills of collecting patients' history and physical examination, and guidance of appropriate use of auxiliary examination and analysis of the results. For the treatment thinking, solid theoretical knowledge and life-long learning ideas and habits can improve the successful rate of initial treatment. Furthermore, being familiar with the efficacy evaluation system and analyzing the reasons for the success and failure of the treatment will help the residents to develop a good therapeutic thinking. The good clinical thinking established by the residents in the department of respiration will be conducive to their own follow-up specialist training and career development.

Objective:To observe the effect of chest pain center management model and emergency green channel on pre-hospital rescue rate of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:Patients with STEMI admitted in Yunnan Provincial Emergency Center between January 2017 and June 2019 were selected as the study subjects. 522 patients with STEMI sent by emergency center were included in the observation group (chest pain center management model of first-aid), while 326 patients with STEMI who came to the hospital by themselves were included in the control group (emergency green channel for first-aid). The pre-hospital and nosocomial first-aid related indexes, cardiac function (assessed by Killip grade), rescue rate, hospital stay and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The response time of visit, time of initial electrocardiogram (ECG) completion and total time of first-aid in observation group [(1.04±0.11)min, (1.56±0.25)min, (10.63±2.26)min] were significantly shorter than those in control group [(2.82±0.26)min, (5.99±1.06)min, (18.65±2.98)min, P<0.05]. The grade of cardiac function in observation group was significantly better than that in control group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had higher successful rescue rate, shorter hospital stay , lower total incidence of complications [94.25% vs 42.02%, (6.09±1.02)d vs (8.92±1.65)d, 13.01% vs 32.12%, P<0.05]. Conclusions:Compared with emergency green channel, chest pain center management model can not only shorten first-aid related time of STEMI patients, but also improve their successful rescue rate, reduce incidence of complications and improve prognosis.

Glioma is one of the most refractory tumors affecting the central nervous system. As a new technique, cryoablation has been considered for the treatment of glioma. Considering previous studies, we summarized the mechanism of cryoablation to treat glioma based on pathology and molecular biology perspectives. We also analyzed the indications, effects, and problems of cryoablation in clinical practice. Furthermore, we proposed that this technique may be used in future trends and applications. The mechanism of eradicating tumor cells by cryoablation involves the following:(1) using an ultralow temperature to induce necrosis and apoptosis;(2) changing the local microcirculation of tumors;and (3) adjusting anti-tumor immunity. As an alternative surgical treatment, cryoablation could improve the therapeutic effects by real-time medical imaging. Cryoablation combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and other methods could provide a more effective treatment for gliomas. Therefore, cryotherapy could be a possible treatment for glioma and become a sustained research field.

Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a breakthrough in the field of hepatobiliary surgery.The remnant liver regeneration was stimulated during the first stage of the operation,and the radical resection of the tumor could be successfully carried out during the second stage of the operation.ALPPS is a new approach for patients with tumor which is previously considered unresectable during one hospital stay.In April 2014,a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right liver and liver cirrhosis was admitted to the Southwest Hospital.Preoperative examination confirmed that the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 26.9%,which indicated that the patient was inappropriate to receive radical resection of HCC.Therefore,totally laparoscopic ALPPS was applied.In the first stage of the operation,the portal vein ligation associated with liver hanging tape placement and in situ splitting of liver were carried out after hanging the Glisson's pedicle under the laparoscope.Thirteen days after the first stage of the operation,the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 40.6%.The second stage of the operation was carried out 14 days after the first stage of the operation.The right hepatic pedicle and right hepatic vein were transected with a stapler.The tumor was removed after full mobilization of the right liver.The distance between the resection margin to the tumor was 1.5 cm.No complications were detected after the first stage of the operation,while the patient was complicated with pleural effusion after the second stage of the operation and was cured by pleural puncture and drainage.The patient was discharged at postoperative day 9 and followed up at postoperative month 1.The results of follow-up confirmed that the hepatic function was normal,and no mass occupying lesions and pleural effusion were detected.Totally laparoscopic ALPPS is safe and feasible with satisfactory short-term efficacy.

Objective To examine the distribution and antibiotic resistance proifle of the bacterial isolates from lower respiratory tract of hospitalized patients for better empirical therapy.Methods A total of 3 155 lower respiratory tract specimens were collected from Respiratory Department of the First Afifliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in 2013 to identify bacterial pathogens for susceptibility testing. The results were compared with the data of 2011 and 2012.Results The top three bacterial species from lower respiratory tract in the period from 2011 to 2013 wereA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa, andK. pneumoniae. The prevalence ofS. aureusincreased, while the prevalence ofS. maltophilia andS. pneumoniae was still low.A. baumannii isolates were highly resistant to antibiotics. Not more than 40% of these strains were susceptible to the antimicrobial agents except minocycline, which was active against more than 60% of the ICU and non-ICU strains. More than 70% of theP. aeruginosa strains from non-ICU were susceptible to cefepime, meropenem, imipenem, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin in the three years, 50%-70% of the strains from ICU were susceptible to the antimicrobial agents tested. Carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii andP. aeruginosa strains were identiifed.S. maltophilia strains were relatively susceptible to minocycline and levolfoxacin. All the S. aureus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. The prevalence of MRSA increased year by
year. More than 80% of theK. pneumoniae andE. coli strains were susceptible to imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and cefepime. ESBLs-producingK. pneumoniae was identified. More than 85% of theH. influenzae strains were susceptible to meropenem, ceftazidime, cefuroxime, ciprolfoxacin, levolfoxacin, and amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium. All theS. pneumoniae isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, and 80%-96% of these strains were susceptible to levofloxacin and penicillin.ConclusionsA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa, andK. pneumoniae are the top three bacterial species isolated from lower respiratory tract. Carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa and ESBLs-producingK. pneumoniaeare emerging. The prevalence of MRSA is increasing year by year, which poses a challenge to antimicrobial therapy. It is urgent to contain and control the growing antibiotic resistance.

Objective To evaluate the biomechanical effect of cortical screw support technique in fixation of the femoral neck fractures. Methods The models of subcapital femoral neck fracture were made in eight matched pairs of embamled cadaver femurs and decided into experiment group and control group (four pairs per group). The side of experiment group was fixed using three cannulated compression screws with cortical screw support and that of control group with conventional screw placement. The speci-mens in two groups were tested in aspects of torsion and axial loading. Results In axial load test at load of 600 N and 800 N, the displacements in cortical screw support group were (0.677±0.135) mm and (0.907±0.132) mm respectively, while those of femoral head in conventional screw placement group were (0.899±0.160) mm and (1.202±0.152) nun respectively (P <0.05). There was signifi-cant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The maximal vertical loading for failure of the fixa-tion was (2 782±228) N in cortical screw support group and (1 950±281) N in conventional screw placement group (P < 0.01). In torsibility test at 4° and 6° torsibility, the torque-moments of cortical screw support group were (10.406±1.515) Nm and (15.328 ±1.471) Nm respectively and those of conventional screw placement group (6.628±1.163) Nm and (9.072±1.570) Nm respectively, with statistical difference between two groups (P <0.01). The maximal torque-moment for failure of the fixa-tion was (25.437±5.213) Nm in cortical screw support group and (13.235±3.012) Nm in conven-tional screw placement group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Fixation of femoral neck fractures by using cortical screw support can significantly enhance anti-torsion and anti-compression of internal fixation.
