Digital storytelling,as an emerging form of communication and therapy,is subtly transforming the landscape of clinical care.This paper systematically introduces the historical evolution,fundamental methods,and clinical applications of digital storytelling,while exploring and analyzing its effects on various patient groups.A comprehensive evaluation index system has been developed,with the aim of providing references and evidence for the broader application and development of digital sto-rytelling in clinical care,along with recommendations for improvement to address existing limitations.

Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance situation of pathogens in the respiratory department during the recent 9 years to provide the basis for rational use of antibacterial drugs in clinic .Methods All pathogens isolated from the respiratory depeartment from January 2003 to December 2011 and the drug susceptibility test results were retrospectively and statistically analyzed .Results A total of 5 714 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated ,which mainly distributed in the sputum (90 .1% ) ,excrement (4 .2% ) and urine (3 .6% );among them ,2 943 strains (51 .5% ) were Gram‐negative bacteria ,596 strains (10 .4% ) were Gram‐positive bacteria and 2 175 strains (38 .1% ) were fungi .The top six of isolated bacteria were Candida albi‐cans ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,Acinetobacter baumannii ,Klebsiella pneumoniae ,Candida tropicalis and Escherichia coli .The isola‐tion rates of A .baumannii and C .albicans were increased year by year ,while the isolation rate of E .coli was decreased .A .baumannii and P .aeruginosa had a high resistant to all antibacterial drugs ,whereas the resistant rate of A .baumannii was increased year by year and that of P .aeruginosa showed some fluctuation .K .pneumoniae had a high susceptibility to imipenem and meropenem ,and the sensitivity to other antimicrobial agents had a gradually increasing tendency .The sensitive rate of C .albicans to amphotericin B was almost 100% ,and they had a high susceptible to other antifungal agents .Conclusion Drug resistance of the pathogens is com‐mon in the respiratory department .It is of importance to emphasize the pathologic examination ,carry out the surveillance of drug re‐sistance of pathogenic bacteria ,and use the antibacterial drugs rationally in clinical anti‐infective therapy .

Objective To discuss the short-term curative effect and the safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty using high viscosity bone cement for the treatment of severe osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with severe osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures (compression degree>70%), who received percutaneous vertebroplasty by using high viscosity bone cement during the period from December 2010 to May 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were followed up for at least one month. Both preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) and quality of life (QOL) scores, as well as the incidence of bone cement leakage, were recorded and the results were used to evaluate the curative effect and the safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty for severe osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Results One week after the treatment, significant pain relief was obtained in 92 patients (92%), VAS scores decreased from preoperative (7.0 ±1.2) to postoperative (2.0±1.5), and QOL scores increased from preoperative (30±5.0) to postoperative (80±18.0);the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). One month after the treatment, significant pain relief was seen in 91 patients (91%), VAS scores decreased from preoperative (7.0 ±1.2) to postoperative (1.5 ±1.0) and QOL scores increased from preoperative (30±5.0) to postoperative (80±15.0); the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). No statistically significant differences in VAS scores and QOL scores existed between the data determined at one week after the treatment and the data determined at one month after the treatment (P>0.05). Leakage of bone cement was observed in 40 patients (40%), resulting no severe neurological symptoms; among the 40 patients, intervertebral disc leakage at above and below the vertebral body was detected in 28 patients (70%), vertebral anterior edge leakage was observed in 11 patients (27.5%) and vertebral posterior edge leakage was seen in one patient (2.5%). Conclusion For the treatment of severe osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures, percutaneous vertebroplasty by using high viscosity bone cement is safe and effective.

Objective To study how to reduce the incidence rate of skin flap necrosis after the eradicative resection of breast cancer. Methods 45 patients with breast cancer underwent eradicative operation with new methods to prevent the necrosis of skin flap,and they were studied and compared with 1210 cases treated by traditional ways. Results With the new methods adopted, the necrosis rate of skin flap following eradicative operation of breast cancer was reduced from 45%(original)to 2%(present).Statistic analysis showed that there was outstanding difference between them. Conclusion In the eradicative operation of breast cancer,the key to prevent the necrosis rate of skin flap is:prevention of subaxillary lymphatic fistula, two tubular drainage set individually in subcostalis and subaxillaris, appropriate force of chest bandaging, proper thickness of skin flap and perfect suture without tension.
