Objective:To investigate the application of three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with problem-based learning (PBL) in the teaching of physicians receiving continuing education in thoracic surgery.Methods:A total of 68 physicians who received continuing education in Department of Thoracic Surgery in our hospital were selected as research subjects, and they were divided into control group and observation group using a random number table, with 34 physicians in each group. The physicians in the control group received traditional teaching, while those in the observation group received three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with PBL teaching. A questionnaire survey, theoretical assessment, and assessment of practical skills were performed to evaluate the effect of teaching. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher degrees of satisfaction with each item of the questionnaire survey ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of theoretical assessment [(94.07±6.03) vs. (86.34±5.46), P<0.001] and the assessment of practical skills [(95.20±5.48) vs. (84.71±6.14), P<0.001]. Conclusion:The application of three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with PBL teaching can help to improve the comprehensive ability of physicians receiving continuing education.

Background:
and Purpose To examine the clinical and safety outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) with different anesthetic modalities.
Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis using data from the Endovascular Treatment for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ATTENTION) registry. Patients were divided into two groups defined by anesthetic modality performed during EVT: general anesthesia (GA) or non-general anesthesia (non-GA). The association between anesthetic management and clinical outcomes was evaluated in a propensity score matched (PSM) cohort and an inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) cohort to adjust for imbalances between the two groups.
Results:
Our analytic sample included 1,672 patients from 48 centers. The anesthetic modality was GA in 769 (46.0%) and non-GA in 903 (54.0%) patients. In our primary analysis with the PSM-based cohort, non-GA was comparable to GA concerning the primary outcome (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.82 to 1.25; P=0.91). Mortality at 90 days was 38.4% in the GA group and 35.8% in the non-GA group (adjusted risk ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.08; P=0.44). In our secondary analysis with the IPTW-based cohort, the anesthetic modality was significantly associated with the distribution of modified Rankin Scale at 90 days (acOR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.20 to 1.75]).
Conclusion
In this nationally-representative observational study, acute ischemic stroke patients due to BAO undergoing EVT without GA had similar clinical and safety outcomes compared with patients treated with GA. These findings provide the basis for large-scale randomized controlled trials to test whether anesthetic management provides meaningful clinical effects for patients undergoing EVT.

Objective:
To determine human tear proteins using nanoliter liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (NanoLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS), and perform a bioinformatics analysis of main proteins.
Methods:
Human tear samples were collected with capillary, transferred to 3 kDa ultrafiltration tubes containing 400 μL of superpure water and centrifuged at 12 000×g for 15 min. Repeated extraction of tear proteins were performed four times, and following digestion with trypsin, the proteins were separated using the Waters NanoAcquity peptide BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 100 μm×100 mm) and determined using NanoLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS with the mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) in the full MS/dd-MS2 mode. The types of proteins were characterized in the Uniprot database using the software Proteome Discoverer version 2.1 and verified using bovine serum albumin. The tear proteins were subjected to gene annotation analysis using the String database.
Results:
A total of (387±160) human tear proteins were yielded, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.13%, and there were 25 types of proteins with a relative high abundance, including lipocalin 1, lysozyme and lactoferrin. The peptide sequence coverage of bovine serum albumin was (86.08±2.61)%, with a RSD of 3.03%. The 25 major tear proteins were involved in substance transduction among cells, homeostasis process, negative regulation of the endopeptidase activity, detection of chemical stimulants and humoral immune responses, and the 16 proteins had close interactions. Lacritin, lipocalin 1, lactoferrin, lysozyme and zinc-α 2-glycoprotein, which had a relative high abundance, had close biological connections.
Conclusion
NanoLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS is stable, reliable and feasible for detection of multiple proteins in tears.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of 100 units of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) intradetrusor injection in patients with overactive bladder.Methods:From April 2016 to December 2018, 17 tertiary hospitals were selected to participate in this prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Two phases of study were conducted: the primary phase and the extended phase. This study enrolled patients aged 18 to 75 years who had been inadequately managed by anticholinergic therapy (insufficient efficacy or intolerable side effects) and had spontaneous voiding with overactive bladder. Exclusion criteria included patients with severe cardiac, renal and hepatic disorders, patients with previous botulinum toxin treatment for 6 months or allergic to BTX-A, patients with urinary tract infections, patients with urinary stones, urinary tract tumors, diabetes mellitus, and bleeding tendency. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to BTX-A group and placebo control group in a ratio of 2∶1. Two groups of patients received 20 intradetrusor injections of BTX-A 100U or placebo at the depth of the submucosal muscle layer respectively under cystoscope, including 5 injections at the base of the bladder, 3 injections to the bladder triangle, 5 injections each to the left and right walls and 2 injections to the top, sparing the bladder neck. As a placebo control group, patients received same volume of placebo containing no BTX-A and only adjuvant freeze-dried preparations for injection with the same method. A combination of gelatin, sucrose, and dextran served as adjuvants. Average micturition times per 24 hours, urinary incontinence (UI) episodes per day, average micturition volume per day, OAB symptom score(OABSS), and quality of life (QOL) score were recorded at baseline and the 2nd, 6th and 12th week after treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the average micturition times per 24 hours at the 6th week after treatment. The secondary efficacy endpoints included the change from baseline in the average micturition times per 24 hours at 2nd and 12th week, as well as the change from baseline in the OABSS, QOL score, average frequency of urgency and UI episodes per day, urgency score, average micturition volume per day at 2nd, 6th and 12th week after treatment. Patients were followed for 12 weeks to assess adverse events (AEs). After assessed at week 12, if the micturition times has decreased less than 50% compared to baseline and the patient is willing to receive retreatment, then patients could enter the extended trial phase. In that phase, patients in both groups were injected with 100 units BTX-A from 12th week onwards and then followed up the same indicators for 12 weeks.Results:216 patients were enrolled in this trial (144 cases in the BTX-A group and 72 cases in the placebo control group). Baseline characteristics such as age (47.75±14.20 in the BTX-A group and 46.39±15.55 in the control group), sex (25 male/117 female in the BTX-A group and 10/61 in the control group), and disease duration (0.51 years in the BTX-A group and 0.60 years in the control group) were balanced between the two groups( P>0.05). A marked reduction from baseline in average micturition times per 24 hours was observed in all treatment groups at the 6th week and the reduction of the two groups was statistically different ( P<0.001 and P=0.008 respectively). Compared with the baseline, the average micturition times per 24 hours at the 6th week decreased from baseline by 2.40(0.70, 4.60)times for the BTX-A group and 0.70(-1.00, 3.30) times for the placebo control group respectively, and the difference between the two groups was considered to be statistically significant ( P=0.003). The change rates of average micturition times per 24 hours from baseline at the 6th week of the two groups were (16±22)% and (8±25)% respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.014). Compared with the baseline, the average micturition times per 24 hours at 2nd and 12th week decreased by 2.00(0.00, 4.00)and 3.30(0.60, 5.03)for the BTX-A group, 1.00(-1.00, 3.00)and 1.70(-1.45, 3.85)for the placebo control group respectively. The difference between two groups was considered to be statistically significant ( P=0.038 and P=0.012); the changes of average urgency times per day for the BTX-A group and the control group at the 2nd, 6th and 12th week were 2.00(0.00, 4.30)and 2.40(0.30, 5.00), 3.00(0.30, 5.70)and 0.70(-1.30, 2.70), 0.70(-1.30, 3.00) and 1.35(-1.15, 3.50), respectively. There were significant differences between two groups at the 2nd, 6th and 12th week, ( P=0.010, P=0.003 and P=0.025, respectively). The OABSS of the BTX-A group and the control group at the 6th week decreased by 1.00(0.00, 4.00)and 0.50(-1.00, 2.00) compared with the baseline, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.003). 47 cases of BTX-A group and 34 cases of placebo control group entered the extended trial phase, and 40 and 28 cases completed the extended trial phase, respectively. The average micturition volume per 24 hours changed by -16.60(-41.60, -0.60)ml and -6.40(-22.40, 13.30)ml, (-35.67±54.41)ml and(-1.76±48.69)ml, (-36.14±41.51)ml and (-9.28±44.59)ml, (-35.85±43.35)ml and(-10.41±40.29)ml for two groups at the 12th, 14th, 18th and 24th week, and the difference between two groups was statistically significant at each follow-up time ( P=0.01, 0.006, 0.012 and 0.016, respectively). There was no significant difference in other parameters( P>0.05). However, adverse reactions after intradetrusor injection included increased residual urine volume (27 in the BTX-A group and 3 in the control group), dysuria (21 in the BTX-A group and 6 in the control group), urinary infection (19 in the BTX-A group and 6 in the control group), bladder neck obstruction (3 in the BTX-A group and 0 in the control group), hematuria (3 in the BTX-A group and 1 in the control group), elevated alanine aminotransferase (3 in the BTX-A group and 0 in the control group), etc. During the follow-up period, there was no significant difference in the other adverse events between two groups except the increase of residual urine volume( P<0.05). In the primary trial phase, among the 27 cases with increased residual urine volume in BTA group, only 1 case (3.70%) with PVR more than 300 ml; the PVR of 3 patients in the placebo group was less than 100 ml. The increase of residual urine volume caused by the injection could be improved or disappeared with the passage of time. Conclusions:Intradetrusor injection of Chinese BTX-A improved the average micturition times per 24 hours, the average daily urgent micturition times, OABSS, and average micturition volume per time, and reduced the adverse effects in patients with overactive bladder.Chinese BTX-A at dose of 100U demonstrated durable efficacy and safety in the management of overactive bladder.

Objective:By comparing the clinical data and follow-up data of patients with coronary heart disease combined with chronic kidney disease who choose different ways of revascularization for the first time when do PCI revascularization therapy again. To investigate the effect of coronary artery bypass grafting on revascularization for the first time in patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 358 patients with coronary heart disease combined with chronic kidney disease who received revascularization PCI from January 2008 to December 2017 was made. All the patients were divided into CABG group(75 cases) and PCI group(283 cases) for clinical characteristics and prognosis comparison. According to the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events, Cox regression was carried out to establish a risk prediction model. Results:Compared with the patients in the two groups, the ratio of current smoking(17.33% vs. 33.57%, P=0.006) and hospitalized patients with recurrent acute myocardial infarction(28.00% vs. 40.64%, P=0.045) were decreased in CABG group, the ratio of triple-vessel disease(82.67% vs. 55.12%, P<0.001) and road via femoral artery(49.33% vs. 24.03%, P<0.001) were significantly increased in the CABG group, the Gensini score[136.00(100.75, 164.00) vs. 53.00(39.00, 74.00), P<0.001] and contrast agent dosage [300(200, 400)ml vs. 200(200, 300)ml, P<0.001] were significantly higher in CABG group, but the incidence of MACCE was significantly lower in CABG group than in PCI group (40.00% vs. 57.60%, χ2=7.571, P=0.0059). According to the Cox regression of MACCE events, it was found that CABG ( RR=0.586, 95% CI: 0.396-0.867, P=0.007) and higher glomerular filtration rate( RR=0.988, 95% CI: 0.980-0.997, P=0.007) were the protective factors, white blood cell elevation( RR=1.100, 95% CI: 1.020-1.187, P=0.013) and the application of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor( RR=1.380, 95% CI: 1.016-1.875, P=0.039) were independent risk factors. Conclusion:Patients with coronary heart disease combined with chronic kidney disease can benefit from CABG for the first time in revascularization, when they were confronted with PCI revascularization again.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of posterior tibial artery perforator propeller flap in repairing soft tissue injury of medial malleolus.Methods:From June 2016 to March 2019, five male patients with ankle trauma were treated in Ningbo Ninth Hospital, aged 30-64 years (average 45 years). There were 3 cases of right and 2 cases of left. Causes: traffic injury in 2 cases, crush injury in 3 cases. There were 4 cases with fracture, 1 case with plate and bone exposure, 2 cases with local infection and 1 case with skin avulsion. Preoperative soft tissue defect area: 2.0 cm × 3.0 cm-4.0 cm × 6.0 cm. After debridement, the posterior tibial artery perforator propeller flap was designed to repair the wound. During the operation, the target perforator was searched between the deep fascia superficial flexor longus and digitorum flexor longus, and the perforator pedicle was fully exposed carrying a small amount of fascial tissue and the length of the pedicle ≥ 2 cm. After the skin flap was completely cut from the superficial layer of the deep fascia, the skin flap was rotated to cover the wound. After confirmation of good blood supply of the skin flap, the wound was loosely sutured, and the donor site was directly sutured or covered with skin grafts. Routine fluid rehydration, anti-infection, anti-spasm, and anti-thrombosis treatments were performed postoperatively. The ankle joint was raised in a neutral position and immobilized with plaster. The temperature, color, tension and reflux of the skin flap were monitored, and rehabilitation exercises were gradually carried out. The patient’s postoperative repair effect was observed.Results:All the flaps survived. The distance between the perforator and the medial malleolus was about 5.5-8.5 cm. The area of the flap was 4.0 cm × 6.5 cm-4.0 cm × 10.0 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly except one case. No flap related complications occurred during the follow-up period of 3-16 months (average of 12 months). No obvious scar hyperplasia was observed in flaps, which was similar to the adjacent skin characteristics, ankle joint movement could be achieved, and the skin flap could restore the protective feeling.Conclusions:The propeller flap with perforating branch of posterior tibial artery characterizes simple operation, similar soft tissue characteristics, stable and reliable blood supply, less damage to the donor and recipient sites, and less complications. It is one of the ideal methods to repair the soft tissue defects of the medial malleolus.
