Improving Surgical Training

Improving Surgical Training is a programme piloting an innovative, evidence-based approach to training. It was developed in response to the Shape of Training report which reviewed postgraduate training and recommended changes in medical education to meet the demands of the modern NHS. A series of initiatives have been developed to enhance the experience for surgical trainees not only to encourage a more focussed and supported method, but also to improve their job satisfaction. The initiatives have combined a greater emphasis on time for training provided by trainers with allocated time for training with multidisciplinary teamworking and the use of technology enhanced learning with simulation of both technical and non-technical skills. The pilot started in 2018 with core training in general surgery and has been expanded to include vascular surgery, urology and trauma and orthopaedics over the last 2 years. Initial feedback from both trainees, trainers and schools of surgery have identified different challenges to aid implementation. The programme is being very carefully evaluated by an independent company as well as careful oversight by the General Medical Council which are paramount to its success.     

不同方式修复末节指皮肤缺损疗效分析

目的探讨不同方式修复末节指皮肤缺损的临床疗效。方法对171例226指末节皮肤缺损进行修复:应用创必复联合海肤康护创指套修复53指,V-Y皮瓣修复43指,邻指皮瓣修复22指,指动脉逆行岛状皮瓣修复30指,指背筋膜蒂逆行皮瓣修复57指,拇背皮神经营养血管皮瓣修复21指。结果 171例均获随访,时间1.5个月~2年。226指末节皮肤缺损全部愈合(其中3例皮瓣受区感染经换药等处理后治愈)。创必复海肤康指套治疗者指腹饱满,外观满意;皮瓣修复者质地和颜色与受区相近,感觉恢复良好,功能满意。结论末节指皮肤缺损目前有很多修复方式供选择,临床上要根据受伤末节指具体情况及患者要求灵活选用合适的、操作简单的修复方法,最大限度地恢复手指功能。     

手术治疗结节性甲状腺肿合并甲状腺癌的临床效果

目的:分析手术治疗结节性甲状腺肿合并甲状腺癌的临床效果。方法:从2017年3月~2019年3月期间到我院接受治疗的结节性甲状腺肿合并甲状腺癌患者中选出60例完成此次研究,60例患者全部接受手术治疗,经1年的随访后对比两组患者接受治疗前后的生活质量变化情况及治疗效果。结果:接受治疗后患者的心理、身体、物质生活、社会关系等多项生活质量指标均优于治疗前,治疗前后的数据对比存在明显差异(P<0.05)。所有患者接受治疗后均为表现出较为明显的不良反应,其治疗存在较高安全性,总治疗有效率为87.50%(55/60)。结论:帮助结节性甲状腺肿合并甲状腺癌患者选择合理的手术方式,能够提高临床治疗效果,减少并发症。     

Animal Models of Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma–Past,Present, and Future

Esophageal adenocarcinoma is the fastest rising cancer in the United States. It develops from long‐standing gastroesophageal reflux disease which affects >20% of the general population. It carries a very poor prognosis with 5‐year survival <20%. The disease is known to sequentially progress from reflux esophagitis to a metaplastic precursor, Barrett''s esophagus and then onto dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, only few patients with reflux develop Barrett''s esophagus and only a minority of these turn malignant. The reason for this heterogeneity in clinical progression is unknown. To improve patient management, molecular changes which facilitate disease progression must be identified. Animal models can provide a comprehensive functional and anatomic platform for such a study. Rats and mice have been the most widely studied but disease homology with humans has been questioned. No animal model naturally simulates the inflammation to adenocarcinoma progression as in humans, with all models requiring surgical bypass or destruction of existing antireflux mechanisms. Valuable properties of individual models could be utilized to holistically evaluate disease progression. In this review paper, we critically examined the current animal models of Barrett''s esophagus, their differences and homologies with human disease and how they have shaped our current understanding of Barrett''s carcinogenesis.     

Longer Operative Time Results in a Higher Rate of Subsequent Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Patients Undergoing Primary Joint Arthroplasty

Background

Whether prolonged operative time is an independent risk factor for subsequent surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains a clinically significant and underexplored issue. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between operative time and the risk of subsequent SSI and PJI in patients undergoing primary TJA.

甲状腺手术患者围术期优质护理干预效果探讨

目的观察分析在甲状腺手术患者护理中予以围术期优质护理干预的应用价值。方法此研究从本院甲状腺手术患者中选取样本,总例数为80例,研究时间始于2017年4月,止于2019年4月,依据护理方案的异同对患者进行分组,试验组予以围术期优质护理干预,对照组予以常规性护理干预,对比两组护理结果。结果研究可得,试验组护理满意率相对较高,组间数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05)。研究可得,试验组并发症发生率相对较低,组建数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05);研究可得,试验组预后生活质量相对较高,组建数据对比得知与对照组相比统计值合理(P<0.05)。结论此研究得知,在甲状腺手术患者护理中予以围术期优质护理干预,能提高患者护理效果,降低其并发症发生情况,并进一步改善患者预后效果。
