Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of arterial embolization combined with local ablation in the treatment of recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with chest wall tumor that recurred after surgery and progressed after treatment were retrospectively analyzed.On the basis of the original treatment regimen,DSA-guided arterial embolization and CT-guided local ablation were employed.VAS score of pain relief and postoperative complications were recorded,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated Results All the patients were follow up for a median time of 18.5 months.Successful DSA-guided arterial embolization was accomplished in all patients.Seven patients(9 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided radiofrequency ablation(RFA),and tumor reoccurred in 2 patients,who had to receive RFA once more.Four patients(5 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided microwave ablation(MWA),and tumor reoccurred in one patient,who had to receive MWA again.According to mRECIST criteria,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month objective response rates(ORR)were 72.7%(8/11),45.5%(5/11)and 18.2%(2/11)respectively,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month overall survival rates were 81.8%(9/11),63.6%(7/11)and 27.3%(3/11)respectively,with a median survival time of 13.2 months.The postoperative one-month and 3-month VAS scores were(2.42±1.25)points and(1.91±1.24)points respectively,which were strikingly lower than preoperative(6.78±1.13)points,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,3 patients developed pleural effusion,which disappeared after puncture and drainage treatment,and 2 patients developed fever,which was improved after symptomatic treatment.One patient died of respiratory failure six months after treatment.Conclusion Arterial embolization combined with local ablation can improve the symptoms of pain and prolong the survival time of patients with chest wall tumors.This combination therapy is less traumatic and clinically safe,and it can be used as an effective treatment for patients with recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.

Objective Based on the PDCA cycle theory,it explores the application mode of scenario simulation teaching method in clinical basic skills training.Methods The 96 students majoring in clinical medicine from the First Af-filiated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in 2019 were selected as the research objects,and the experimental group and the control group were set up respectively,with 48 students in each group,and skills training was car-ried out from March to December 2022.The control group was trained in the traditional way,and the experimental group was trained in the scenario simulation teaching method based on the PDCA cycle.The training effect and training satisfaction of the control group and the experimental group were compared and analyzed.Results In the sur-vey of the training effect of the students in the experimental group,the evaluation results of the basic clinical skills operation were higher than those in the control group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.01).In terms of the appropriate and safe operation mode,There was no significant difference be-tween the two groups(P＞0.05).In the training satisfaction survey,students in the experimental group were signifi-cantly more satisfied with the training than those students who are in the control group.The difference was statistical-ly significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion The application of scenario simulation teaching method based on PDCA cycle in clinical basic skills training helps to improve the quality of clinical basic skills training and student satisfaction.

Objective To analyze the outcomes of catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation(AF)and the independent risk factors for its recurrence in the elderly.Methods A total of 194 patients with persistent AF who underwent catheter ablation at our department from January 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study.They were divided into elderly group(≥60 years old,99 cases)and non-elderly group(＜60 years old,95 cases).Their surgical characteris-tics,postoperative complications and recurrence were compared between the two groups,and the independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence were analyzed in the elderly group.Results Advanced age,higher B-type natriuretic peptide,larger proportions of hypertension and coronary heart disease,and increased CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores,while lower male ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate were observed in the elderly group than the non-elderly group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The elderly group had a higher proportion of left atrial fibrosis than the non-elderly group(30.3％vs 8.4％,P=0.001).Postoperative complications in the elderly group in-cluded 1 case of pericardial effusion and 2 cases of hematoma at the puncture site,and all of these were improved after treatment.There were no significant differences in the 1-year success rate(71.7％vs 69.5％,P=0.763)or recurrence rate during blanking period(21.2％vs 21.1％,P=0.981)between the elderly and non-elderly groups.AF duration(HR=1.020,95％CI:1.007-1.032,P=0.002)and recurrence during blanking period(HR=6.781,95％CI:3.078-14.935,P=0.001)were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in the elderly group.Conclu-sion Catheter ablation is safe and effective in the treatment of persistent AF in the elderly.The elderly patients with long duration of AF and recurrences during blanking period are more likely to experience recurrences within 1 year after ablation.

Objective:Quantified MRCP imaging data was used as a reference for design and preparation of a modified percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) tube.Methods:3.0 T upper abdominal MR and MRCP imaging data of 2 300 patients treated from July 2015 to July 2020 at the Department of Radiology of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were screened and a total of 381 patients diagnosed with biliary duct structures were identified. Causative etiologies among these patients included pancreatic adenocarcinoma (pancreatic head), cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, as well as intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile duct dilation. An improved PTCD tube was designed based on MRCP quantification of left and right hepatic and common hepatic duct length.Results:In the setting of biliary obstruction caused by malignancy, the distance of the left hepatic duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 15.9±3.8 mm, while the distance of the right hepatic duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 12.4±3.2 mm; the length of the bile duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 34.0±8.1 mm. The improved PTCD tube design incorporated an altered length of the drainage orifice.Conclusion:MRCP imaging of the biliary tract is effective for measuring biliary tract length in the setting of pathological dilation. Based on our biliary tract measurements, a modified PTCD tube was designed to more effectively meet drainage requirements and manage biliary obstruction caused by Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅱ and Ⅲ malignancies.
