Objective:To understand the major cognition, major choice motivation and the relationship between the two of medical students, and provide references and suggestions for the selection of talents in various majors of medical schools and the effective development of enrollment work.Methods:This study selected undergraduates of Batch 2019 from Peking University Health Science Center as the survey objects, conducted a questionnaire survey on their major cognition, major choice motivation and influencing factors, and used principal component analysis and Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results:The study found that the major cognition scores of 640 undergraduates of Batch 2019 from Peking University Health Science Center were clinical medicine (3.24±0.89) > stomatology (2.89±1.00) > basic medicine (2.66±1.02) > pharmacy (2.54±0.97) > preventive medicine (2.29±0.93) > nursing medicine (2.21±0.99) > medical laboratory (1.98±0.95) > medical English (1.95±0.93). Six major motivation factors for professional choice were school and professional strength, professional learning and job prospects, own factors, Peking University sentiments and the influence of others, medical factors, school policies, and the contribution rates were 34.60%, 12.97%, 7.42%, 6.00%, 5.59% and 5.37%, respectively. Major cognition scores and major choice motivation factors were positively correlated with each other to some extent.Conclusions:At present, students' major cognition level of medical majors still has a large room for improvement, and the motivational factors of major choice are more complicated, among which "the school and professional strength" and "the prospects of study and work" are important factors. Medical schools should focus on strengthening major publicity, improving students' major cognition, attracting aspiring students to apply for medical majors from many aspects, and improving the training quality of medical professionals.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of Vibrio vulnificus sepsis, so as to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and reducing the mortality rate and improving the prognosis. Methods:The clinical data of 17 patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis were retrospectively collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from April 2018 to February 2024. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences of laboratory examinations between the death group (five cases) and the survival group (12 cases). The study was clinical retrospective case-control study. Independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used as statistical methods when appropriate. Results:Among 17 patients with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis, there were 11 males and six females, aged (63±14) years. Eight cases had a history of handling seafood, three cases had a history of trauma after engaging in sea activities, one case had consumed seafood, and the remaining five cases had unknown causes.Univariate analysis showed that white blood cell count (3.6(2.9, 6.8)×10 9/L vs 12.1(7.4, 21.2)×10 9/L), the platelet count ((40.0±30.4)×10 9/L vs (117.8±76.7)×10 9/L) and fibrinogen level (2.3(2.1, 2.4) g/L vs 3.9(2.9, 6.4) g/L) in the death group were all lower than those in the survival group ( Z=-2.42, t=2.16 and Z=-2.11, respectively, all P<0.05). And the procalcitonin level (89.0 (31.9, 100.0) mg/L vs 23.2(5.4, 47.2) mg/L), thrombin time (17.7(16.2, 30.8) s vs 15.2(14.2, 15.7) s), aspartate aminotransferase level (215.0(75.5, 1 240.5) U/L vs 32.0(20.3, 47.8) U/L), total bilirubin (68.4 (42.0, 93.8) μmol/L vs 21.4 (14.1, 30.5) μmol/L), creatine kinase (7 899.0(364.5, 19 474.5) U/L vs 185.5(40.5, 333.5) U/L) and creatinine ((159.6±61.7) μmol/L vs (79.3±42.4) μmol/L) in the death group were all higher than those in the survival group ( Z=-2.42, -2.22, -2.16, -2.11 and -2.74, t=-3.13, respectively, all P<0.05). The differences were all statistically significant. Conclusions:Vibrio vulnificus infection is highly lethal. Creatine kinase, creatinine and procalcitonin levels in the death group are higher than those in the survival group, while the white blood cell count is lower than that in the surviving group.

Objective:To survey the status quo of family doctor work mode in Shanghai Xuhui district.Methods:Semi-structured and structured in-depth interviews were conducted in Shanghai Xuhui district from April to June 2021, 11 directors, 12 deputy directors in charge and 30 family doctors from 12 community health service centers participated in the survey and completed two stages and four sessions of interviews on the development of the integrated and high-quality family doctor work mode and the ways to realize and the challenges to face. The records of interviews were transcribed, sorted and analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The survey showed that the family doctor contracting was carried out in a large team mode in the whole district, mainly for the elderly, and most of contracted residents were not included in health management and follow-up services. The team was composed of family doctors and assistants, and the routine outpatient service was the main work pattern, and the regular services also included the chronic disease follow-up and health check-up for elderly. On the issue of how to output high-quality integrated services, the majority of doctors (12/13) believed that the contracted individual should be taken as the unit of fine service, carrying out overall health assessment, optimizing medication plan, lifestyle guidance, one-stop service in hospital, etc.; only one doctor suggested that the family should be the management unit. For upgrading the working mode and service quality, insufficient time and energy were the main obstacle. Public health work occupied a lot of working time, but it seemed not be transformed into favorable resources and conveniences in health management and services. The professional assistants should carry out some responsibility to save family doctor′s time. The survey suggests that informatization, service space, and sufficient drug supply are the keys for ensuring high-quality and high-efficiency integrated services.Conclusion:The organizational structure of the family doctor team in Shanghai Xuhui district is relatively mature, but the integrated and high-quality service output has not yet reached. It is necessary to make regional overall planning and increase efforts to achieve the integration of medical treatment and prevention, so as to gain time for family doctors to carry out high-quality services. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate effective family doctor assistants, provide an information work platform that matches the work attributes and goals of family doctors, open up an integrated health management service space, and ensure the full range supply of drugs.

Objective:To investigate the clinical experience of different types of femoral perforator flaps in the reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial head and neck defects.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2021, 573 patients with oral and maxillofacial head and neck defects reconstructed by femoral perforator flap were collected in the Department of Maxillofacial Oncology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University (age range of 21-76 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.23∶1). According to the type of perforator flap, the patients were divided into ALT group, AMT group, TFL flap group and free muscle flap group. The incidence of postoperative complications, wound healing time and drainage volume in femoral area were compared among the 4 groups.Results:The ALT flap was used in 527 cases: 22 flaps had vascular crisis, 14 flaps had infection, 8 flaps had necrosis, 519 flaps survived; the mean healing time of the wound was (14.50±3.19) days, and the mean drainage volume was (49.9±21.3) ml. 28 cases were repaired with AMT flap: 2 flaps had vascular crisis and 1 had infection. All the flaps survived; the mean healing time of the wound was (14.18±2.75) days, and the mean drainage volume was (50.3±23.0) ml. 11 cases were repaired by TFL flap: 1 flap had vascular crisis and 1 had infection. All the flaps survived. The mean healing time of the wound was (14.09±2.66) days, and the mean drainage volume was (54.1±25.0) ml. 7 cases were repaired by free muscle flap survived without vascular crisis, infection and other postoperative complications; the mean healing time of the wound was 14.14±1.86, and the mean postoperative drainage volume was (49.9±21.1) ml. There was no significant difference in complication rate (flap necrosis, vascular crisis, infection, etc.) and repair effect among 573 patients with different flap types. The postoperative follow-up was conducted for 6-24 months, and the donor area was smooth and good in appearance, without obvious scar or functional influence. The repair effect of the affected area was satisfactory.Conclusions:Although there is a certain proportion of perforator vessel variation in the femoral perforator flap, the flap can be designed freely according to different types of variation. The thigh perforator flap has an essential application value in the repair of oral and maxillofacial head and neck defects.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of mixed reality (MR) in the standardized resident training on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery.Methods:Twenty resident doctors, who received standardized training in the department of maxillofacial oncology of our hospital, were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The MR teaching method was used in the experimental group, while the traditional teaching method was used in the control group. The teaching effect was evaluated by theoretical and operational tests and a questionnaire survey. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS 24.0 software. Statistical comparisons were performed by the Students' t-test or the Wilcoxon rank correlation test. Results:The theoretical test results showed that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (85.30±3.59 vs. 80.20±5.63, t = 2.41, P = 0.027). The operational test results showed that the scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (89.20±5.07 vs. 82.30±6.36, t = 2.68, P = 0.015). The questionnaire survey results showed that the MR teaching helped to easily acquire the knowledge of head and neck anatomy and operation skills. Besides, the doctors in the experimental group were more active and glad to communicate with others than those in the control group. In addition, the MR teaching method improved the learning interest of doctors. The doctors in the experimental group were more satisfied with the teaching effect than those in the control group, and they recommended that the MR teaching method be used in clinical training and teaching on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery. Conclusion:MR teaching can help doctors understand and master the knowledge of head and neck anatomy and operation skills and improve their learning interest, achieving a good teaching effect, so it has important application value in the standardized resident training on oral and maxillofacial-head and neck tumor surgery.

OBJECTIVES:
Shelter hospital was an alternative way to provide large-scale medical isolation and treatment for people with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to various reasons, patients admitted to the large shelter hospital was reported high level of psychological distress, so did the healthcare workers. This study aims to introduce a comprehensive and multifaceted psychosocial crisis intervention model.
METHODS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was provided to 200 patients and 240 healthcare workers in Wuhan Wuchang shelter hospital. Patient volunteers and organized peer support, client-centered culturally sensitive supportive care, timely delivery of scientific information about COVID-19 and its complications, mental health knowledge acquisition of non-psychiatric healthcare workers, group activities, counseling and education, virtualization of psychological intervention, consultation and liaison were exhibited respectively in the model. Pre-service survey was done in 38 patients and 49 healthcare workers using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item (PHQ-2) scale, and the Primary Care PTSD screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (PC-PTSD-5). Forty-eight healthcare workers gave feedback after the intervention.
RESULTS:
The psychosocial crisis intervention model was successfully implemented by 10 mental health professionals and was well-accepted by both patients and healthcare workers in the shelter hospital. In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful.
CONCLUSIONS
Psychological crisis intervention is feasible, acceptable, and associated with positive outcomes. Future tastings of this model in larger population and different settings are warranted.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) and easy albumin-bilirubin (EZ-ALBI) scores for early survival (postoperative 3 months) of recipients with liver failure after liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 137 recipients diagnosed with liver failure and underwent liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal cut-off values of preoperative ALBI, EZ-ALBI and MELD scores to predict early survival of recipients with liver failure after liver transplantation were determined by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The risk factors of early death of recipients with liver failure after liver transplantation were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The effects of different ALBI and EZ-ALBI levels upon early prognosis of recipients with liver failure after liver transplantation were analyzed. Results The optimal cut-off values of ALBI, EZ-ALBI and MELD scores were 0.21, -19.83 and 24.36, and the AUC was 0.706, 0.697 and 0.686, respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that preoperative alanine aminotransferase(ALT)≥50 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase(AST)≥60 U/L, ALBI score≥0.21 and EZ-ALBI score≥-19.83 were the risk factors for early postoperative death of recipients with liver failure after liver transplantation (all

Objective:To study the clinical results of robot-assisted laparoscopic resection for choledochal cysts.Methods:From October 2020 to June 2022, clinical data on 20 patients who underwent choledochal da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection at Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Forty-two children with choledochal cysts were included in this study. There were 16 males and 26 females, aged 25 (range 15.0 to 45.0) months. The operations were carried out by the same team of surgeons. These patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical methods: children who underwent da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery were in the robotic group ( n=20) and children who underwent single-port (transumbilical) laparoscopic surgery were in the laparoscopic group ( n=22). The general clinical data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fasting time, hospital stay, total medical costs and complications were collectd and analysed. Follow-up was performed in outpatient visits. Results:Both the 2 groups underwent surgery successfully, and no patient was converted to laparotomy. When compared with the laparoscopic group, intraoperative blood loss [(10.65±3.75) vs. (14.86±3.75) ml], indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube [(5.45±2.21) vs. (7.05±1.94) d] and fasting time [(4.00±1.49) vs. (6.05±1.43) d] in the robotic group were significantly less, while the operation time [394(299, 422) vs. 351(269, 380) min] and hospitalization cost [(79 200±4 000) vs. (31 100±3 000) yuan] were significantly increased (all P<0.05). The differences in postoperative complication rates and pain score between the two groups showed no significant differences (all P>0.05). On follow-up, no patients developed complications such as cholangitis, jaundice, intestinal obstruction and cholangiocarcinoma, except for one patient in the laparoscopic group who developed cholangitis after surgery. Conclusion:Robot-assisted laparoscopic choledochal cystectomy was effective and safe in treatment of children with choledochal cysts.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of platelet-albumin-bilirubin(PALBI)score for tumor recurrence after liver transplantation(LT)in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 102 HCC patients undergoing LT from January 2010 to December 2020.The predictive value of PALBI score for tumor recurrence after LT and the risk factors for tumor recurrence after LT were examined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve, Kaplan-Meier method and univariate/multivariate Cox regression.Results:The optimal cutoff value of preoperative PALBI score for predicting recurrence was -3.82 with ROC curve, Youden's index 0.317 and area under the ROC curve 0.679.Survival analysis was performed using a PALBI cutoff value of -3.82 as boundary group.The results showed that significant differences existed in 1/3/5-year tumor recurrence rates(17.9% vs.50.0%, 26.9% vs.62.5%, 29.5% vs.62.5%)after low PALBI and high PALBI( P<0.05 for all). Univariate analysis indicated that preoperative tumor maximal diameter, tumor number, Milan criteria, alpha fetoprotein(AFP)level, microvascular invasion, portal venous tumor thrombus, and PALBI score were significantly associated with postoperative tumor recurrence( P<0.05 for all). And multivariate analysis revealed that Milan criteria, AFP level and PALBI score were independent risk factors for postoperative tumor recurrence( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative PALBI score offers some predictive value for postoperative tumor recurrence in HCC patients post-LT.When preoperative PALBI score ≥-3.82 in HCC patients, postoperative tumor recurrence rate is relatively high.
