Objective:To investigate the effect of "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode on risk factor control and medium-term prognosis improvement in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:This was a intervention study. Patients with coronary heart disease who were admitted to the Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital of Xiamen University from June 2021 to January 2022 and successfully discharged after PCI were included. According to the different types of follow-up after discharge, patients were divided into the traditional follow-up group and the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group. The "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode means that specialists, specialist managers in third-level A hospitals and general practitioners and health managers in basic hospitals were jointly responsible for post-discharge follow-up of PCI patients. Baseline clinical data were collected. The primary endpoints were the rate of compliance of coronary heart disease risk factor control at 12 months after surgery, the rate of secondary surgery, and the incidence of mid-term major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Unplanned secondary PCI included symptom-driven secondary PCI and asymptomatic secondary PCI. MACCE includes myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, stroke, major bleeding, all-cause death, and composite endpoints including these events.Results:A total of 2 181 patients were enrolled, including 1 097 patients in the traditional follow-up group and 1 084 patients in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group. At baseline, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, discharge diagnosis, co-existing diseases, echocardiographic indexes, and coronary artery lesions between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in total PCI stent length, maximum internal diameter of stent, proportion of patients using drug balloon, proportion of patients with a planned second surgery during hospitalization, and discharge with drugs (all P>0.05). Twelve months after PCI, the reduction in HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was greater in the "four-staff co-management " follow-up group than that in the traditional follow-up group (all P<0.05), and the rate of reaching the standard for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was higher than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P=0.001), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups for blood pressure and blood glucose (all P>0.05). During the follow-up period, the proportion of symptom-driven second operation patients was lower in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference in the proportion of asymptomatic second operation patients between the two groups ( P=0.191). The proportion of hospitalized patients with heart failure in the "four-staff co-management" follow-up group was lower than that in the traditional follow-up group ( P=0.029), and there was no significant difference in the proportion of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, massive hemorrhage, death and complex endpoint events between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The "four-staff co-management" follow-up mode can effectively improve the control of risk factors and medium-term prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.

【Objective】 To explore the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty in the treatment of long-segment injury in the middle and lower ureter and to summarize the clinical experience. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 6 patients treated in our hospital during Oct.2018 and Aug.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Four of them had long-segment ureteral mucosal cuff-like avulsion during ureteroscopic lithotripsy and could not undergo end-to-end ureteral anastomosis or reimplantation, and then laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty plus lumbaris major fixation of the bladder was performed immediately. The other 2 patients had to undergo this procedure due to stricture. 【Results】 All operations were successful. The median ureteral avulsion or ureteral stricture length was 14.5(6, 16) cm, muscle flap length 16.5(8,18) cm, operation time 190 (160, 240) min, blood loss 175 (100, 250) mL, postoperative hospital stay 8 (7, 12) days, and postoperative creatinine (89.38±21.74) μmoI/L. No major complications occurred. One patient developed urinary leakage, which returned to normal after active glycemic control and nutritional therapy; one patient developed postoperative absorption fever, which recovered after physical cooling. During the follow-up of 6 to 45 months, CT showed mild hydronephrosis in some patients, but no ureteral stenosis, impaired renal function or other complications, and patients complained no subjective discomfort. 【Conclusion】 Laparoscopic bladder muscle flap ureteroplasty is safe and effective for patients with long-segment injury in the middle and lower ureter. It has the advantages of small trauma, few long-term complications, and rapid recovery and improvement of renal function. If necessary, it can be combined with lumbaris major fixation of the bladder to shorten the distance from the muscle flap to the broken end of the ureter and to reduce the tension of the anastomosis.

【Objective】 To compare the efficacy, safety and survival of partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) in the treatment of clinical T1b and T2a renal cell carcinoma (RCC). 【Methods】 A total of 115 patients with stage T1b and T2a RCC treated during Apr.2014 and Jul.2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different surgical methods, the patients were divided into PN group (n=55) and RN group (n=60). The clinical data and prognosis of the two groups were compared. 【Results】 There were no significant differences in the general clinical data and perioperative related factors between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of complications was significantly higher in PN group than in RN group (P=0.024), but there was no significant difference in serious complications (Clavien grade ≥3) (P>0.05). In terms of renal function recovery, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine between the two groups before operation (P>0.05), but the serum creatinine was significantly lower in PN group than in RN group on the 1st day, 3rd, 6th and 12th months after operation (P<0.05). After more than 5 years of follow-up, there was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate, overall survival rate, recurrence and metastasis rate, and cancer specific survival rate between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Both PN and RN are safe and effective in the treatment of stage T1b and T2a RCC, and can achieve good oncological control effects. Compared with RN, PN can fully and effectively protect the postoperative renal function, but it causes more surgical complications. However, there is no significant difference in severe complications (Clavien grade ≥3).

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) in patients with World Health Organization (WHO) GradeⅠ/Ⅱ meningioma.Methods:Twenty-six patients with intracranial ( n=8, 30.8%) or skull-base ( n=18, 69.2%) meningioma treated with PBRT from May 2015 to October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The median age of the cohort was 42 years (range 15-79 years). Eight patients had WHO Grade Ⅰ meningioma, and 9 had WHO Grade Ⅱ meningioma, respectively. Nine patients had clinical (radiological) diagnosis without histology. Seven patients received post-surgical PBRT (2 patients underwent Simpson Ⅰ-Ⅲ resection, 5 patients underwent Simpson Ⅳ-Ⅴ resection); 10 patients were irradiated for local recurrence after initial surgical resection. Results:All patients completed planned PBRT without break, and the median dose was 54 Gray-Equivalent (GyE) (range 50.4-60 GyE, 1.8-2 GyE/daily fraction). With a median follow-up of 22.2 (range 1.6-36.4) months, the 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were both 100%. Grade Ⅰ skin erythema and alopecia were observed in 22 patients and Grade Ⅰ mucositis was observed in 2 patients. No acute of late toxicities of Grade 2 or above was observed.Conclusions:PBRT appeared to be a favorable treatment option for intracranial and skull base meningioma. Treatment-induced adverse effects and early response to PBRT were both highly acceptable. Longer follow-up is needed to evaluate the long-term outcome in terms of disease control, survival, as well as potential late effects.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term tumor control and toxicity of recurrent skull base and cervical spine chordoma and chondrosarcoma in patients treated with pencil beam scanning proton and heavy ion therapy.Methods:Between June 30 th, 2014 and July 30 th, 2018, a total of 45 skull base and cervical spine chordoma ( n=39) and chondrosarcoma ( n=6) patients (28 males and 17 females; mean age at initial presentation of 44 years, range, 14-76 years) were treated in our center for the course of radiotherapy. The median maximum tumor volume was 57 cm 3 (range, 6.6-231.7 cm 3). There were 31 post-operative recurrent patients and 14 post-operative and post-radiated recurrent patients. One patient received proton therapy, 21 patients received combined proton and carbon ion therapy, 23 patients received carbon ion therapy. Results:All patients completed the whole course of the treatment. The median follow-up time was 29 months (range: 8-57 months), the 2-year overall survival (OS), local control (LC), and progression-free survival (PFS) were 82.7%, 85.3%, and 73.8%, respectively. There were no other grade 3-4 acute or late radiation-induced toxicity except one grade 3 acute mucositis. The 2-year OS rates for patients after first-time radiation vs. re-irradiation were 96.2% and 50.3% ( χ2=16.969, P<0.05). Conclusions:The short-term outcomes of pencil beam scanning proton and heavy ion therapy for recurrent skull base and cervical spine chordoma and chondrosarcoma is favorable. Further study is needed for long-term efficacy and safety.

Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy and toxicities of intensity-modulated carbon ion radiotherapy (IMCT) for patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods A total of 112 patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing salvaging IMCT between May 2015 and February 2018were enrolled in the study.All patients previously received one course of definitive X-ray IMRT.Among them,10 patients (9％) were diagnosed with stage Ⅰ,26 patients (23％) with stage Ⅱ,41 patients (37％) with stage Ⅲ and 35 patients (31％) with stage Ⅳnasopharyngeal carcinoma,respectively.The median age of the cohort was 48 years (range,17-70 years) old.The median dose to the gross tumor volume (GTV) was 60 GyE (range,50-69 GyE).Results With a median follow-up time of 20 months (range,5-45 months),20 patients died and 42 patients developed local recurrence.The 2-year overall survival (OS) and local progression-free survival (LPFS) rates were 85％ and 52％.Both univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that stage Ⅳ disease was associated with significantly worse OS.No predictors were found for LPFS.No acute toxicity of grade 3 or higher was observed during reirradiation.Severe (grade 3 or above) late toxicities included xerostomia (n =1),hearing impairment (n =2),temporal lobe injury (n =1) and mucosal necrosis (n =19).Conclusions IMCT is an efficacious and safe treatment for patients with locoregionally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma with acceptable toxicity profile.Long-term follow-up is necessary to further evaluate the long-term efficacy and late toxicities.

Objective: To evaluate the dosimetric difference between carbon ion radiotherapy and photon radiotherapy for treating tumors at lacrimal system. Methods: Using the CT images of 10 patients with tumors at lacrimal system, the carbon ion plan, the photon volume intensity modulation plan (VMAT) and the fixed wild photon intensity modulation radiotherapy (IMRT) plan were generated. The prescription was 54 Gy(RBE) in 18 fractions for clinical target volume (CTV) and 63 Gy(RBE) in 18 fractions for CTV-boost. Dosimetric differences of organ at risks were compared based on the same planning target volumes (PTVs) with similar dose coverages. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the PTV coverage among three plans (P>0.05). Compared to VMAT and IMRT plans, carbon ion plans reduced the mean doses of eyeballs, mean doses and near-maximum doses of optical nerves of both ipsilateral ( t=7.35, 3.79, 4.66, 8.48, 2.52, 2.76, P<0.05) and contralateral eyes (t=3.87, 10.49, 9.16, 4.43, 6.53, 5.12, P<0.05), while the mean dose of brain was decreased from(5.65±3.58) and (5.76±2.09)Gy(RBE) to (0.81±0.90)Gy(RBE) (t=6.76, 17.33, P<0.05). Conclusions Compared to photon VMAT or IMRT, carbon ion could reduce the doses to optical critical organs around tumors. Thus, carbon ion radiotherapy has potential to reduce patients′ radiation related side-effects.

Objective To evaluate the short-term efficacy and adverse events of pencil beam scanning proton and carbon ion therapy in the treatment of chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the head and neck.Methods Between July 2014 and July 31,2017,61 patients with chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the head and neck receiving proton and heavy ion therapy as the first course of radiotherapy were enrolled.Among them,45 patients were diagnosed with chordoma and 16 cases of chondrosarcoma,39 male and 22 female.The median age was 38 years old (range:14-70 years).The median maximum tumor diameter was 4.1 cm (range:0-8.6 cm).The clivus and the cervical spine were the primary tumor sites.Results Eight patients received proton therapy,21 patients were treated with proton combined with carbon ion therapy and 32 patients received carbon ion therapy.All patients successfully completed the planned radiotherapy.The medial follow-up time was 21 months (range:7-47 months).No grade 3-4 acute toxicity was observed.Only one patient suffered from radiation-induced temporal lobe injury.The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS)and overall survival (OS) were 91％ and 100％.Conclusions Pencil beam scanning proton and heavy ion therapy yields relatively favorable short-term outcomes in the treatment of chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the head and neck.Nevertheless,the long-term clinical efficacy and safety remain to be investigated during follow-up.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of infectious occupational exposure among medical staff in newly-built hospitals, find out the high risk points of occupational exposure, and formulate occupational safety protection measures accordingly. Methods A retrospective survey in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital during January 2015 to October 2017 was carried out on occupation exposure, including gender, age, working years, occupation,exposure time, exposure sites, exposed sites and links, exposure to the source of infection and other aspects of the data, using SPSS 16.0 statistical analysis. Results There were 59 infectious occupational exposures. Among 59 infectious occupational exposures, 52 cases (88.1%) were sharp instrument injuries, 7 cases (11.9%) were blood and body fluid exposure. Occupational exposure occurred mainly in nurses (45 cases, 76.3%), followed by doctors (11 cases, 18.6%). The median age was 26 years, and the median length of work was 2 years. The location of exposure was mainly ward (26 cases, 44.1%), followed by operation room (17 cases, 28.8%). The location of sharp instrument injuries was mainly finger (44 cases, 84.6%). Sharps were mainly needles (38 cases, 73.1%), and the proportion of sharp instruments was 80.4%. The main causes of exposure were themselves (41 cases, 77.5%). Hepatitis B was the main pathogen of exposure (27 cases, 45.8%). No nosocomial infection was not found at follow-up. Conclusions New hospitals should establish a perfect occupational exposure management system, control the high-risk points, strengthen the occupational safety protection training, standardize the operation, and reduce the incidence of infection.
