Bladder cancer(BC) ranks the first of genitourinary tumor in China and is one of the most common urological malignancies, in which 25%-30% of patients were diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection is the standard procedure for treatment, which can effectively avoid tumor recurrence or distant metastasis as well as improve the prognosis of patients. However, some patients may not tolerate or refuse to undergo radical bladder surgery due to worry about high complication rate, high morbidity and poor postoperative quality of life. With the increasing understanding of bladder cancer heterogeneity and biological behavior, the treatment of bladder cancer has changed from a surgery-based treatment model to an individualized and comprehensive treatment model by multidisciplinary collaboration. The bladder-preserving treatment can achieve the same oncological prognosis as that of radical bladder surgery with a better quality of life of the patients, which has become a hot topic and focus of research in muscle-invasive bladder cancer treatment. This article reviewed the progress of research related to the comprehensive treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer with preservation of the bladder.

Objective:To study the effects of diphenhydramine and caffeine compound on motion sickness.Methods:Sixty Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into six groups with ten rats in each group, namely, blank control group, model control group, diphenhydramine group (2.25 mg/kg), compound (diphenhydramine and caffeine) low-dose group [(1.13+ 2.70) mg/kg], compound medium-dose group [(2.25+ 5.40) mg/kg], and compound high-dose group [(4.50+ 10.80) mg/kg]. The mental states of rats were observed. The motion sickness (MS) scores and saccharin water intake were evaluated. Thirty Beagle dogs were randomly divided into five groups with six dogs in each group, namely, model control group, diphenhydramine group (0.67 mg/kg), compound (diphenhydramine and caffeine) low-dose group [(0.33+ 0.80) mg/kg], compound medium-dose group [(0.67+ 1.60) mg/kg], and compound high-dose group [(1.34+ 3.20) mg/kg]. The latent periods of salivation and vomiting after rotational stimulation were observed and recorded.Results:The rats in the compound medium-dose group and the compound high-dose group did not manifest somnolence while the rats in other groups receiving diphenhydramine did. After rotational stimulation, the MS scores of the rats in the model group were higher than those of the rats in the compound groups, and the MS scores in the compound groups showed a dose-dependent decreasing trend. Before rotational stimulation, there were no significant difference in the saccharin water intake among the rats of all the groups. After rotational stimulation, the saccharin water intake in the model group was more significantly reduced than that of the blank control group ( P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the saccharin water intakes in diphenhydramine group and compound groups were significantly increased ( P<0.05), and the increase were dose-dependent. Before drug administration, all the Beagle dogs were susceptible to rotational stimulation with early salivation and vomiting. After drug administration, the latent periods of salivation and vomiting were all considerably extended ( P<0.05), and the extension of the latent periods in the compound groups was dose-dependent. Conclusion:The diphenhydramine and caffeine compound has protective effects against motion sickness, and the adverse reactions of inhibition in central nervous system are mild.

" Day surgery hospital-community joint follow-up model " results newly from the deepening implementation of the hierarchical medical system policy. It is designed to follow up the patients discharged from hospital but not fully recovered in time to ensure the prevention of adverse events after surgery. It can also improve the quality and efficiency of follow-up, and ensure the safety and integrity of the whole day operation management. In this context, through a comparative study of 720 patients discharged from daytime surgery in the region, patients in the combined follow-up group were followed up by telephone on the 3rd day after the operation by nurses from the day surgery ward. On the 10th and 20th days after the operation, the family doctor from the community health service center will visit the patient at home and follow up the patient by telephone. One month later, the patient returned to the hospital for follow-up consultation. Follow-up results show day surgery hospital-community joint mode as a helpful aid in keeping track of the patients postoperative rehabilitation, reducing complications and handling in time, while improving the ambulatory surgery perioperative safety.
