Objective To discuss the performance of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) of colorectal cancer treatment within West China Hospital in Sichuan University. Methods To compare the therapeutic effect between groups of MDT model and non-MDT model by retrospectively analyzing the data of patients who diagnosed colorectal cancer and accepted in-hospital therapy during December 2006 and May 2007. Results The in-hospital days of the MDT model group during the perioperative period and in the surgical ward were less than that of the non-MDT model group ( Plt; 0. 05) , but there was no significant difference between the two groups about the total hospitalization time. And the MDT model group had a higher rate of cancer resection ( P lt; 0. 05) . Although the incidence of anastomotic leakage and bleeding as early postoperative complications didn’t show any variations between the two groups , the non-MDT model groupencountered more early postoperative ileus ( Plt; 0. 05) . During the 5－ 10 months follow-up , there came out less cancer recurrence rate in the MDT model group than the other ( P lt; 0. 05) . And the morbidity of anastomotic stricture and ileus didn’t show any statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion The combined-therapy st rategy ofcolorectal cancer has showed a priority to routine ways , not only the more reasonable time arrangement for therapy , but also the more satisfied surgical outcomes. However , the factors correlated to the efficacy of the MDT model are not clear ; the MDT model still needs to be improved that a morereasonable and effective perioperative MDT model may come t rue.
ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. MethodThe literature relevant to surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed. ResultsThe various surgical treatment schemes of hilar cholangiocarcinoma had advantages and disadvantages. At present, there were still disputes and no unified consensus on preoperative preparation, selection of intraoperative surgical resection range, and applications of laparoscopy and robot, etc. The individualized surgical treatment plan should still be formulated based on the specific condition of the patient and the professional experience of the surgeon. The individualized surgical treatment plan should still be formulated based on the specific condition of the patient and the professional experience of the surgeon. ConclusionIt is believed that accurate preoperative condition evaluation should be carried out for each patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma, so as to formulate the best surgical treatment plan, achieve individualized accurate treatment and benefit patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment of bicuspid aortic valve combined with thoracic aortic dilation.
MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 68 patients of bicuspid aortic valve combined with thoracic aortic dilation underwent surgical treatment in our hospital between January 2010 and June 2014. There were 47 males and 21 females at age of 26-77(44.5±16.3) years. Different surgical treatments including Wheat procedure(n=22), aortic valve replacement+ascending aortoplasty(n=10), Bentall procedure(n=13), aortic valve replacement+ascending aortic replacement+right hemi aortic arch replacement(n=13), Bentall procedure+ascending aortic replacement+right hemi aortic arch replacement(n=8), Bentall procedure+ascending aortic replacement+total arch replacement+stented elephant trunk(n=2) were carried out according to the type.
ResultsAll 68 patients underwent surgical treatment. The mortality in hospital is at 4.4%(3/68). The postoperative complications were neurological and mental complications(n=3), pneumonia(n=2), and exploratory thoracotomy(n=2). We followed up 63 patients for 6 months to 4 years. A total of 62 patients were well without reoperation except one death at the end of following-up 2 years.
ConclusionBicuspid aortic valve combined with thoracic aortic dilation has diversiform clinical characteristics. The surgical treatment should be chosen according to the aortic valve and thoracic aortic lesion characteristics.
With the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the increasing use of intracardiac pacemakers, the incidence of isolated tricuspid regurgitation is gradually increasing. Severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation has a seriously negative effect on the survival rate and life quality of patients. As the major invasive therapy, surgery is not routinely carried out due to high perioperative mortality. This article attempts to summarize the etiology, natural course and adverse consequences of isolated tricuspid regurgitation, current treatment strategies, surgical indications and techniques, efficacy evaluation, prognostic factors and transcatheter treatment progress of isolated tricuspid regurgitation, aiming to provide references for cardiologists and further researches.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of non-pharmacological interventions for sleep disturbance in dementia, and to provide evidence for clinical practice.MethodsDatabases including CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on non-pharmacological interventions for sleep disturbance in dementia from inception to May 2020. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 9 RCTs were included, involving 720 patients. Light therapy was the most commonly used treatment, followed by special activity and sleep education program. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the control intervention, light therapy could improve sleep efficiency (MD=2.21, 95%CI 1.09 to 3.33, P=0.0001) and the night-time sleep (MD=14.27, 95%CI 5.01 to 23.53, P=0.003) of patients with dementia in the community and nursing institutions, special activity could increase the night-time sleep (MD=29.74, 95%CI 20.44 to 39.04, P<0.00001), and sleep education program could also improve sleep efficiency (MD=6.19, 95%CI 5.22 to 7.16, P<0.00001) and night-time sleep (MD=33.95, 95%CI 25.40 to 42.50, P<0.00001). In addition, it was superior to obtain 120 or 60 minutes of light exposure than 30 minutes to improve the quality of sleep (RR=?2.62, 95%CI ?3.56 to ?1.68, P<0.001) and reduce daytime sleep (RR=?4.75, 95%CI ?5.71 to ?3.42, P<0.001). However, there was significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between groups of 120 minutes and 30 minutes of light exposure (RR=2.57, 95%CI 1.44 to 4.58, P=0.001).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that non-pharmacological intervention can improve sleep efficiency and night-time sleep in patients with dementia. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
Abstract： Objective To investigate the cause and treatment of iatrogenic tracheobronchoesophageal fistula and provide experiences for clinic treatment. Methods Between January 1995 to December 2008, 21 patients with tracheobronchoesophageal fistula were treated in Shanghai Chest Hospital and Shanghai 6th Hospital. Among them, iatrogenic fistula happened in 12 patients including 8 males and 4 females whose age ranged from 35 to 74 years old with an average age of 47. Fistula developed 21 d to 5 years after the treatment of the primary diseases which were mainly tumors. Two of them developed tracheoesophageal fistula, 10 bronchoesophageal fistula; 6 right bronchoesophageal fistula, and 4 left bronchoesophageal fistula. Fistula excision and surgical repair of the tracheobronchoesophageal fistula were performed on 2 patients; Lung lobectomy and repair of the esophageal fistula were performed on 5 patients; Tracheal fistula repair and pneumonectomy with reconstruction of the digestive tract were done on the rest 5 patients. Results No operative death occurred. Postoperative complications in 2 cases were cured without recurrence. In the 1year followup to all the 12 patients, no recurrence of fistula occurred. Conclusion Iatrogenic tracheobronchoesophageal fistula is a complex and severe disease for which surgery is the only best treatment.
Objective To explore the methods of evidence-based individualized treatment for a patient with oral pemphigus. Methods According to chnical problems, we searched The Coehrane Library （Issue 1,2005 ） , MEDLINE （1966 -Jan. 2005 ）, SUMSEAR.CH （Jan. 2005 ）, TRIPDATABASE （1997 - 2005 ）, CMCC （1994 - 2004 ）and handsearched four Chinease journals （starting pubhcation -2004）. Results No Systematic review was found. Six randomised controlled trials, two reviews of high quality and one guidehne were identified. We found that corticosteroid was the firsthne medicine in the treatment of pemphigus. However, corticosteroid at higher dose did not work more effectively than that at lower dose. Corticosteroid at middle-dose was preferred in treating oral pemphigus. Additionally, corticosteroid combined with immunosuppressants led to lower mortality. Among them, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine were recommended, and methopterin should be avoided. Plasma exchange in combination with corticosteroid at lowor middle-dose should not be recommended in conventional therapy. Chinese traditional treatment combined with Western medicine might work. A treatment with prednisone at the dose of 60 mg/d and in combination with azathioprine 100mg/d was made based on the evaluation of the data available and was proved optimal by 6 months following-up. Conclusions The therapeutic effect of pemphigus has been improved by evidence-based treatment.
Objective To summarize the recent progress in the research on the mechanism and treatment of lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma, in order to provide reference for clinical workers to systematically treat patients with lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma, guarantee their survival and improve their quality of life. Method The literatures about mechanism and clinical treatment of lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma in recent years were reviewed. Results At home and abroad, there was no unified treatment standard for patients with lung metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. For patients with early metastasis, some scholars proposed resection of the metastasis, or ablation, radiotherapy and other methods for the metastatic site. For patients with advanced lung metastasis, systematic therapy was used. Conclusions The treatment effect is not ideal due to the limitations of few clinical studies, low level of evidence and complex disease mechanism, and there is no unified treatment standard. Therefore, in view of the differences between patients and the specific reality in clinical treatment, personalized treatment is implemented.
