Management of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency at Peking Union Medical College Hospital：A Survey among Physicians

Objective To evaluate physicians’ attitude and knowledge about the management of adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and impact factors associated with better decision-making. Methods A 21-question anonymous survey was distributed and collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, a major teaching hospital in Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Data of physicians’ educational background, clinical training, patient workload per year and continuing medical education in AGHD were collected. Factors associated with appropriate answers were further analyzed by multivariate regression models. Results One hundred and eighteen internal medicine residents, endocrine fellows, attending physicians and visiting physicians responded to the survey. Among them, 44.9% thought that AGHD patients should accept recombinant human growth hormone replacement therapy. Moreover, 56.8% selected insulin tolerance test and growth hormone-releasing hormone-arginine test for the diagnosis of AGHD. Logistic regression analysis of physician demographic data, educational background, and work experience found no consistent independent factors associated with better decision-making, other than continued medical education, that were associated with treatment choice. Conclusions The physicians’ reported management of AGHD in this major academic healthcare center in Beijing was inconsistent with current evidence. High quality continued medical education is required to improve Chinese physician management of AGHD.

Management of cerebral ischemia due to Takayasu’s arteritis

Objective To explore the management of cerebral ischemia caused by Takayasu’s arteritis. Methods Ninety-three cases treated from June 1984 to September 1999 at the General Post &amp; Telecom Hospital, the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, the First Af filiated Hospital of Zhejiang University, the Second Medical College of Beijing University, Beijing An Zhen Hospital, and the Beijing Union Medical College Hosp ital, including 10 men and 83 women, were reviewed.Of the 93 cases, bypasses f rom the ascending aorta to the axillary or subclavian artery and from graft to t he carotid artery were performed in 47 cases.Subclavian to carotid bypass was performed in six cases.Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was used in five cases and stenting in one.Results Marked improvement was achieved in 30.3%, fair in 34.9%, improvement in 21.2 %, unchanged in 4.6%, and death in 9.0% before discharge; 30.6%, 38.8%, 16 .3%, 4.1%, and 2.0% respectively during a mean follow-up of 48 months, and r ecurrence requiring revision in 8.2%.Conclusion Patients with occlusive lesions of all four cervical arteries always have severe cerebral ischemia and their distal runoff is always unvisualised by angiography . However, we found by exploration that the internal carotid artery is patent in all but one patient. Therefore, an ascending aorta to carotid bypass is feasib le in most instances, and this can and should be done when the cerebral perfusio n is jeopardized at a time when the patient is in a stable or relatively stable condition. Unfortunately, the cerebral re-perfusion syndrome is still a serious and not completely solved problem.     

Value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with percutaneous ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions

Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect lesions hidden in inflammatory regions and find necrosis or areas of severe fibrosis within the lesion. This retrospective study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of solid pancreatic lesions using percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with or without CEUS assessment.Methods: Clinical, imaging, and pathologic data of 181 patients from January 2014 to December 2018 in Pecking Union Medical College Hospital...
