【Abstract】ObjectiveTo introduce the clinical appliance of liver transplantation (LT) in the therapy of alveolar hydatid disease (AHD).MethodsThe related literatures were collected and reviewed.ResultsThe 5year survival rate of AHD was 71% after LT. Removing the liver and preventing the recurrence are the two major difficulties in the treatment.ConclusionAs the only feasible and effective therapy for advanced AHD, LT should be studied further.
Eight patients treated with modified radical mastectomy and fenestration of pectoralis muscle to preserve pectoral, nerves are reported and the practical procedure is introduced. The results indicate that this method can overcome the disadvantage of mastectomy (Auchincloss) in that only dissection of fatty tissue and lymph nodes in the lateral part of axilla is carried out. With fenestration of pectoralis major muscle, not only the pectoral nerves can be perserved but also the fatty tissue and lymph nodes, including of those medial to the pectoralis minor, subclavicular and interpectoral nodes can be dissected. This method almost reached Halsted’s demand and it can be used for stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and even stage Ⅲ breast cancer if no infiltration to pectoralis major muscle is found.
Objective To explore the short term and long term effectiveness of the problem-based learning (PBL) in clinical skill training. Methods A total of 162 clinical medicine undergraduates in Grade 2003 (7-years study) and 2004 (5-year study) who were supposed to intern in the internal medicine departments were randomly divided into the PBL group (n=75) and the control group with traditional training (n=87) for having their clinical skills training. Then t test was applied to compare the two groups about the scores of intern rotation examination and graduate OSCE as well. Results About the baseline: the students in the two groups got similar scores in their internal medicine exam before clinical intern rotation (84.04±7.40 vs. 82.63±8.77, P=0.287). About the short term effectiveness: compared to the control group, the students in the PBL group got higher subjective evaluation from their supervised clinicians (P=0.006). In writing examination, the students of those two group got similar scores in knowledge part (54.17±9.26 vs. 51.67±9.56, P=0.92), while the PBL group won in case reasoning question (20.39±5.27 vs. 16.51±4.90, Plt;0.001). About the long term effectiveness: in the graduate OSCE, the two groups got similar scores in skills operation such as punctures and lab results analyses (P=0.567 and P=0.741), while the students in the PBL group had better performance at the case reasoning and standard patients treating (75.59±9.85 vs. 71.11±12.01, P=0.027). Conclusion With the great short term and long term effectiveness, the PBL applied in the clinical skill training improves the students’ ability of both synthesized analyses and the integrated clinical skills such as clinical thinking and interpersonal communication, but doesn’t aim at the basic knowledge and operation skills.
目的 探讨β —七叶皂甙钠对乳腺癌术后患侧上肢水肿的预防作用。方法 84例乳腺癌患者配对后分为实验组和对照组。对照组给予手术等常规治疗，实验组术后另给予β —七叶皂甙钠10～20 mg静脉推注，每12小时1次，连用7～10天，观察两组患者术后患侧上肢水肿的发病率。结果 对照组术后患侧上肢水肿发生率为20.93%(9/43)，实验组为4.88%(2/41)，两组之间差异有显著性意义。结论 β —七叶皂甙钠对乳腺癌术后患侧上肢水肿的发生有预防作用。
