Adopting Review,Reflect and Re-focus [Triple R] sessions to support pre-registration therapeutic radiography students post clinical placement

IntroductionEducation and training strategies in Therapeutic Radiography are challenged in recruiting and retaining students in the profession. Clinical oncology centres are often viewed as stressful environments for students due to rapid advances in technology and reported bullying and harassment. Educators continue to work with clinical partners in developing strategies to promote resilience and reduce negative attitudes. The overall aim of this project was to explore the use of Triple R sessions as a new method of student reflection.MethodsThe Review, Reflect and Re-focus (Triple R) sessions were designed to enable students to learn from their clinical experiences and; apply their understanding and positivity when they return to clinical placement. Eleven sessions were completed across 7 student cohorts in one academic year. Qualitative data was collected from feedback forms, as well as academic field notes, and analysed thematically.ResultsTwo main themes focused on: (1) staff interactions and (2) student expectations. Results showed that Triple R sessions were helpful in drawing out the experiences of students in a positive way to reflect on their own development. The sessions enabled critical self-analysis and improved problem-solving skills, particularly evident during peer discussions.ConclusionTriple R sessions explored the influence of a positive approach on students' perceptions of their overall placement. Evaluation of the data indicated that, following academic and peer discussion, students' perceptions tended to be a more positive overall view of their placement.Implications for practiceTriple R sessions can be used in academic and clinical environments to enable positive student interactions.     

接受机械取栓治疗的急性脑梗死患者血栓特征研究进展

急性脑梗死是威胁我国人民健康的重大疾病,其致死率及致残率均较高,造成了沉重的社会负担。及时开通导致梗死的责任血管以恢复脑灌注是治疗该病的关键。机械取栓技术的应用使得患者的血栓组织能够被获取并得到研究。本文介绍了近年来通过机械取栓术获取的血栓的相关研究发现,以纤维蛋白为主的血栓是造成取栓困难的重要组织学原因,影像学方法可以在术前评估血栓特征。这些发现提示临床工作者可以积极开发新型血栓取出装置用于处理难治性血栓,并有必要探索精确便捷的血栓特征影像学评价方法,从而提高机械取栓疗效。     

N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质的研究进展

自“缬沙坦事件”之后，N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质引起了业界的广泛关注。本文概述了药物中N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质和相关检测方法的研究进展，以及近20年来国内外有关药物中基因毒性杂质监管指南的完善历程。N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质作为一类高反应活性的基因毒性杂质，主要来源于药物合成过程中发生的副反应，以及药物在储存或者运输过程中发生的氧化或还原等反应。所有的动物实验表明，N-亚硝胺类具有很强的致癌性。在理论上，所有药物都存在N-亚硝胺类杂质或被N-亚硝胺类杂质污染的风险，由于该类化合物在药物中常以痕量形式存在，在分析检测过程中药物基质干扰大，因此建立便捷、高效的分析方法是非常有必要的。     

直接抗病毒药物治疗丙型肝炎合并透析患者的临床应用

丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染在慢性肾功能不全患者中较常见，尤其是在进行透析的患者中，HCV感染较普通患者的风险极大增加，同时还会导致肝细胞癌及肝硬化的发病率明显升高。近年来直接抗病毒药物（DAAs）在慢性丙型肝炎的治疗中取得了较好的疗效及安全性，本文通过总结DAAs在丙型肝炎合并透析患者中的应用进展，发现对于基因1~6型HCV合并透析患者，推荐使用G/P方案；由于索磷布韦（SOF）经肾脏代谢，在重度肾损害人群中的血药浓度较高，因此SOF组合方案并不推荐用于丙型肝炎合并透析患者的治疗。

癌症患者心理韧性质性研究的系统评价

目的 系统评价有关癌症患者心理韧性发展的真实体验,为更好地制定心理韧性干预方案提供理论依据。方法 计算机检索Cochrane Library、Medline、CINAHL、Embase、PubMed、Web of Science、Psyc INFO以及中国生物医学文献数据库、中国知网、维普、万方数据库从建库至2019年6月相关的质性研究。采用澳大利亚乔安娜布里格斯研究所循证卫生保健中心质性研究质量评价标准（2016）对文献进行评价,采用汇集性整合方法进行结果整合。结果 共纳入10篇文献,提炼42个明确的结果,形成8个类别,汇总成3个整合结果。①心理韧性发展是动态循环的过程：危机负性期,调节成长期,积极转化期,循环强化期;②心理韧性的阻碍因素：个体（消极应对,错误认知,症状和体象困扰）,环境（传统社会文化,医疗环境,家庭负担）;③心理韧性的保护因素：个体（积极心理与应对方式,复原经历,宗教信仰,自我表露,利他主义与行为）,环境（家庭因素,医疗照护,人际支持）。结论 心理韧性的发展是动态循环过程,受个体和环境因素影响,医护人员应根据不同阶段的影响因素给予针对性护理措施,促进患者心理韧性的形成和发展,提高患者的生活质量。     

Acute total hip arthroplasty for older patients with acetabular fractures: A meta-analysis

ObjectiveMultiple treatment options for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients exist. However, no large-scale studies have reported the outcomes of acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) in this patient population. We systematically evaluated all available evidence to characterize clinical outcomes, complications, and revisions of acute THA for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients.MethodsMeta-analysis of 21 studies of 430 acetabular fractures with mean follow-up of 44 months (range, 17−97 months). Two independent researchers searched and evaluated the databases of Ovid, Embase, and United States National Library of Medicine using a Boolean search string up to December 2019. Population demographics and complications, including presence of heterotopic ossification (HO), dislocation, infection, revision rate, neurological deficits, and venous thromboembolic event (VTE), were recorded and analyzed.ResultsWeighted mean Harris Hip Score was 83.3 points, and 20% of the patients had reported complications. The most common complication was HO, with a rate of 19.5%. Brooker grade III and IV HO rates were lower at 6.8%. Hip dislocation occurred at a rate of 6.1%, 4.1% of patients developed VTE, deep infection occurred in 3.8%, and neurological complications occurred in 1.9%. Although the revision rate was described in most studies, we were unable to perform a survival analysis because the time to each revision was described in only a few studies. The revision rate was 4.3%.ConclusionsAcute THA is a viable option for treatment of acetabular fracture and can result in acceptable clinical outcomes and survivorship rates in older patients but with an associated complication rate of approximately 20%. Considering the limited treatment options, THA might be a viable alternative for appropriately selected patients.     

Failure of gated SPECT and echocardiography to detect large apical aneurysm secondary to hyperdynamic left ventricular wall at the aneurysm neck

We present a patient with a history of coronary artery disease and exertional angina after an acute anterior myocardial infarction. Angiography and ventriculography revealed multivessel coronary artery disease and a large apical aneurysm. Echocardiography and gated SPECT studies were performed for further evaluation of ischemia and assessment of left ventricular function. Gated SPECT and echocardiography failed to detect a large apical aneurysm due to a hyperdynamic left ventricular wall at the neck of the aneurysm. This case demonstrates the importance of using multiple imaging modalities in the evaluation of ventricular function in the setting of coronary artery disease.

支架及无支架条件下构建组织工程软骨的研究进展

支架材料的研究是组织工程的研究热点之一,软骨细胞复合培养给组织工程软骨的构建带来希望,单一的材料诸如胶原、透明质酸、壳聚糖、纤维蛋白凝胶等已经证明可以与软骨细胞复合培养,两种或者多种材料复合可以提高材料的性能,更好地用于组织工程软骨的构建,并满足软骨缺损修复的需要;同样,在无支架情况下应用软骨细胞聚集培养、沉淀培养的方法,可以构建组织工程软骨,并给软骨缺损的修复带来新希望,但目前的研究较少。两者是组织工程软骨构建的两个主要方向。
