1.Research advances in risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C patients with sustained virologic response
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2017;33(3):543-547
Nowadays it is generally believed that chronic hepatitis C patients who are treated with interferon combined with ribavirin and achieve sustained virologic response are considered cured,but in clinical practice,some patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after achieving sustained virologic response.This article summarizes and analyzes the studies on chronic hepatitis C patients who developed HCC after achieving sustained virologic response and identifies the risk factors for the development of HCC.It has been proved that some of the risk factors,such as male sex,age,liver cirrhosis,and diabetes,may be related to the development of HCC,but a lot of risk factors still await for further investigation.

China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2014;27(4):307-310
OBJECTIVETo explore clinical effects of digital artery bilobed flap for the treatment of skin degloving injury of thumb.
METHODSFrom January 2007 to December 2012, 45 patients with skin degloving injury of thumb were treated with grafting of digital artery bilobed flap. There were 39 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 19 to 46 years, with an average of 32 years. The disease course ranged from 0.5 to 15 h. Eighteen patients suffered from defect of palmar skin above nail root and nail bed, 19 patients suffered from skin degloving injury of thumb phalangette, and 8 patients had whole skin degloving injury of thumb. The double lobe flaps were designed at the ulnar side of middle finger and the radial side of ring finger according to the defect of thumb skin. The arteria digitalis communis between the middle and ring fingers and its two branches of arteriae digitales propriae supplying the two fingers were used as a vessel pedicle. The flap with digitales proprii nervi was transposed and used to cover the exposed phalanx of thumb. Full thickness graft was used for the donor site. Observation of the appearance, texture, color and wear resistance of flap, appearance, color and depression of grafting area, skin feeling, and finger activities was conducted.
RESULTSAll the flaps and grafts were alive. Forty-three patients were followed up with an average duration of 25 months, and two patients lost follow-up. The color and texture of the flaps were similar to that of the contralateral thumb pulp. The average two point discrimination was 4.2 +/- 0.3 mm. The color of graft skin was slightly deeper than that of the surroundings skin.
CONCLUSIONDigital artery bilobed flap graft is an effective and ideal operation, which is of low risk and high success rates for skin degloving injury of thumb.

AIM: To evaluate the application and effect of questionnaire based on professional knowledge method combined with problem - based learning ( PBL ) in ophthalmology short-term teaching.
METHODS: Ninety non ophthalmic students of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to August 2015 were randomly divided into observation group (45 students) and control group (45 students). Observation group: using questionnaire based on professional knowledge method combined with PBL teaching method; the control group: using traditional teaching method.
RESULTS: The survey results showed that: non ophthalmic students were unfamiliar with eye diseases knowledge; there was no significant difference in the clinical operation examination between the 2 groups (P>0. 05 ). There were significant differences in the eye disease knowledge, eye disease knowledge related to their own major and the total score between the 2 groups (P< 0. 05), especially students in the observation group had higher scores of eye disease knowledge related to their own major. There was no significant difference in the rate of improvement of learning pressure between the 2 groups (P> 0. 05), the differences of improvement rate on other problems between 2 groups was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ), and the improvement rate was higher in the observation group.
CONCLUSION: Questionnaire based on professional knowledge combined with PBL teaching method can effectively improve the learning effect in ophthalmology teaching.

Objective: To analyze the diagnostic methods and risk factors of female lung cancer, and to investigate the role of flberoptic bronchoscopy in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Methods: The bronchoscopy data of 238 female lung cancer patients seen in our hospital between January 2005 and December 2008 were enrolled. The fiberoptic bronchoscop-ic features with clinical imaging, main risk factors of lung cancer and the pathological types were analyzed. χ~2 test was used for statistical analysis. Results: The major pathological type of lung cancer was adenocarcinoma in females younger than 40 years and squamous cell carcinoma in patients older than 60 years. The proliferative type was correlated with squa-mous cell carcinoma. Its imaging manifestion was a mass and the main risk factor was smoking. The infiltrating type was correlated with adenocarcinoma. Its imaging manifestation was mainly pleural effusion and the main risk factor was indoor soot inhalation. Conclusion: Females exposed to indoor soot inhalation for a long time especially those with a number of risk factors should be offered a screening with low dose CT (LDCT) regularly. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy and cytohistology are of great value for early diagnosis of lung cancer in those with abnormal findings in CT.
