[Journal Article]Wang Caifeng, Wang Yuxin, Zhang Xiaobao-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.08

Abstract:Acute ischemic stroke has a sudden onset,and the mortality and disability rates remain high for a long time,which seriously threatens the life health and the quality of life of patients.After mechanical thrombectomy for patients with acute ischemic stroke,there are still problems,such as insufficient postoperative brain tissue protection measures.Reasonable sedation treatment is a commonly used intervention after surgery,which has achieved remarkable outcomes in reducing the mortality of acute ischemic stroke and promoting early postoperative rehabilitation.However,there is no uniform standard for the optimal sedation time after acute ischemic stroke.In view of this,this article intends to systematically review the theoretical basis and the optimal time of sedation after interventional therapy for acute ischemic stroke,and to provide theoretical reference and practical basis for clinical optimization of postoperative management strategies.

[Journal Article]Expert Group on Coronary Artery Ectasia,Professional Committee of Cardiovascular and CerebrovascularDisease Prevention and Management,China Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Zhao Huiqiang, Zhang Meng-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.07

Abstract:Coronary Artery Ectasia(CAE)is defined as a localized or diffuse dilation of the coronary artery lumen,with a diameter exceeding 1.5 times the adjacent normal vessel segment.The prevalence of CAE among patients undergoing coronary angiography ranges from 0.3%to 8.0%,and it is more commonly observed in middle-aged and older adults,males and smokers.The pathophysiological mechanisms of CAE are complex,involving inflammatory responses,increased matrix metalloproteinase activity,genetic factors,among others.Its clinical manifestations are diverse,ranging from asymptomatic cases to symptoms such as angina and myocardial infarction.Its diagnosis relies primarily on imaging techniques,including coronary angiography and computed tomography angiography.Given the complexity of CAE pathophysiology and its varied clinical presentations,the treatment strategies encompass pharmacological approaches(e.g.,antiplatelet anticoagulant,and lipid-lowering therapies),interventional procedures,and surgical treatments.However,the unified and standardized treatment protocols remain lacking.This expert consensus summarizes the current understanding of CAE,including its epidemiology,pathophysiology,clinical manifestations,diagnostic methods,and therapeutic strategies,to enhance CAE awareness,optimize diagnostic and treatment processes and improve the clinical outcomes.

[Journal Article]Wang Tong, Wu Lihan, Wu Suling et al.-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.08

Abstract:Objective To explore the association and diagnostic value of symptomatic complaints for radial artery occlusion(RAO)in patients undergoing transradial coronary catheterization(TRC).Methods The study data were derived from a prospective cohort study,which enrolled 449 patients suspected or confirmed of coronary heart disease who underwent either elective coronary angiography(CAG)or percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)via radial artery at the Department of Cardiology,First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University,from January 2021 to October 2022.Any reported pain,paresthesia or weakness in the forearm on the surgical side was defined as a symptomatic complaint,and patients were divided into an asymptomatic complaint group(348 cases)and a symptomatic complaint group(101 cases).An independent ultrasound sonographer performed radial artery ultrasound examinations on patients both preoperatively and 12-24 hours post-TRC.The absence of radial artery antegrade blood flow observed using color Doppler mode was defined as RAO.The RAO incidence was compared between two groups and the association between symptomatic complaints and RAO was analyzed.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the influencing factors for RAO in patients undergoing TRC.ROC curves were drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of symptomatic complaints for RAO in patients undergoing TRC.Results Compared with the asymptomatic complaint group,the symptomatic complaint group showed a significantly higher incidence of RAO(26.7%vs.4.9%,P<0.001).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that symptomatic complaints[OR=6.453,95%CI(2.858-14.567)]and the sheath-to-artery(S/A)ratio[OR=16.272,95%CI(3.025-87.544)]were independent predictors for RAO post-TRC(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUCs of symptomatic complaints,S/A ratio,and their combination for predicting RAO in post-TRC patients were 0.715[95%CI(0.628-0.803)],0.691[95%CI(0.596-0.785)],and 0.769[95%CI(0.686-0.853)],respectively.Conclusion Presence of symptomatic complaints is an independent risk factor for RAO post-TRC,and the risk of RAO in patients with symptomatic complaints is 5.45 times higher than that in asymptomatic complaint patients.The symptomatic complaints and S/A ratio both show certain diagnostic value for RAO post-TRC,and the diagnostic value of their combination is higher,providing references for early detection of high-risk patients and for optimization of clinical practice and nursing strategy.

Clinical quality control guideline for coordinated thyroid disease management in Western China(2025 quality control nodes edition)(reprinted)
[Journal Article]General Surgery Quality Control Center of Sichuan Province, Thyroid Surgery Innovation and Transformation Branch of Sichuan Medical Science and Technology Innovation Association, Li Zhihui et al.-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.08

Abstract:In response to the"Healthy China 2030"strategy,the General Surgery Quality Control Center of Sichuan Province and the Thyroid Surgery Innovation and Transformation Branch of Sichuan Medical Science and Technology Innovation Association,jointly established 18 quality control(QC)nodes.This framework integrates evidence from many major domestic and international guidelines/consensus and regional clinical QC practices in Western China.The system encompasses three core dimensions:diagnostic logic accuracy(e.g.,TQC-01 for targeted screening to avoid over diagnosis by specifying high-risk ultrasonography indications);evidence-based treatment hierarchy(e.g.,TQC-06/TQC-08 standardizing staging protocols for surgical indications);treatment outcome optimization(e.g.,TQC-17 for longterm quality-of-life tracking).A four-phase closed-loop management structure is implemented.Screening intervention:imaging restricted to high-risk populations.Standardized diagnosis:initial nodule evaluation with serological testing(TQC-02)and pathological verification(TQC-04).Treatment protocolization:stratified execution of surgery/ablation indications(TQC-10).Dynamic prognosis monitoring:10-year survival tracking post-differentiated thyroid cancer surgery(TQC-17)and multidimensional ablation efficacy assessment(TQC-16).Under the collaborative governance of regional leading institutions,this framework has demonstrated significant impact:reduction of low-value care(e.g.,avoidance of non-indicated biopsy for suspicious lesion<1 cm),elimination of critical process omissions(including mandatory TNM staging compliance),and advancement toward regional healthcare quality homogenization.These contributions establish a replicable paradigm for enhancing China's national thyroid disease clinical quality ecosystem.

[Journal Article]Shu Qiuhong, Xie Yaping, Li Qingxiu et al.-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.07

Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of whole pathway nursing combined with nutritional support in patients after interventional surgery for liver cancer.Methods From January 2024 to May 2025,a total of 110 patients who underwent interventional surgery for liver cancer admitted to Huaihua Central Hospital were included as research subjects,and were randomly divided into a control group(n=55 cases)and a research group(n=55 cases).The control group was given routine nursing intervention for liver cancer interventional surgery,and the research group was given whoe pathway nursing combined with nutritional support intervention on the basis of the control group.Both interventions lasted for 4 weeks.Before and after the intervention,the serum nutritional indicators[albumin(ALB),total protein(TP),prealbumin(PA)],liver function indicators[alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)]and quality of life(EORTC QLQ-C30)scores were compared between the two groups,and the incidence of complications during the intervention period was also calculated.Results Before intervention,there were no statistically significant differences in EORTC QLQ-C30 scores and serum ALB,TP,PA,ALT and AST levels between the two groups(all P>0.05).After intervention,the EORTC QLQ-C30 score(t=8.593,P<0.05)and serum ALB(t=4.997,P<0.05),TP(t=8.394,P<0.05)and PA(t=8.315,P<0.05)levels of the research group were higher than those of the control group,while ALT(t=4.719,P<0.05)and AST(t=6.936,P<0.05)levels were lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total postoperative complication rate in the research group was lower than that in the control group(14.55%vs.34.55%,χ2=5.939,P<0.05).Conclusion Whole pathway care combined with nutritional support can help improve liver function and nutritional status in patients undergoing interventional surgery for liver cancer,reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the quality of life,which is worthy of reference.

A case report of dual conversion therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with literature review
[Journal Article]Zhang Jiachao, Tang Rong, Zhang Zhensheng et al.-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.07

Abstract:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most common malignant tumors in China.Surgical resection remains the primary radical treatment.However,due to the lack of typical clinical symptoms in its early stages,it is often diagnosed at an intermediate or advanced stage,missing the optimal treatment window.Conversion therapy for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(uHCC)can effectively improve patient prognosis.In this case,the carcinoma was initially assessed as unresectable.After receiving tumor conversion therapy through transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and surgical conversion via portal vein embolization(PVE),the patient was eventually qualified for radical surgery under this"dual conversion"strategy.Postoperative pathology confirmed a pathological complete response.During the follow-up period of approximately four years,no tumor recurrence has been observed,indicating clinical cure.Therefore,developing individualized conversion therapy regimens for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma may significantly improve their prognosis.

[Journal Article]Jiang Min, Liu Fei, Wang Xiaojian et al.-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.06

Abstract:Intracranial bifurcation wide-necked aneurysms are a difficult problem in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and are often a challenge in endovascular interventional treatment.Traditional interventional treatment mainly uses stents combined with spring coils,but the operation is complex,and the risk for ischemic complications and post-operation recurrence is high.With the emergence of the intrasaccular flow disruption device Woven EndoBridge(WEB),its advantages over traditional interventional treatments have gradually manifested.With continuous research on WEB,WEB is no longer limited to bifurcation aneurysms,and its application scope has also been gradually expanded.This article discusses the WEB device and its clinical application scope,WEB device implantation procedure,device size selection and perioperative antiplatelet regimen,postoperative follow-up and embolization effect evaluation methods,clinical outcomes of WEB treatment,complications occurrence and treatment,and off-label use of WEB.The current status and advances in these areas are reviewed.

Application of quality control management measures based on SHEL accident analysis method in pre-hospital emergency care for patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract:Objective To study the application effect of quality control management measures based on SHEL accident analysis in pre-hospital emergency care for patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods A total of 96 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the Emergency Medicine Department of our hospital from December 2023 to December 2024 were selected and divided into Group A(48 cases from December 2023 to May 2024)and Group B(48 cases from June 2023 to December 2024)based on the admission time.There was no statistically significant difference in the general data between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).In group A the conventional pre-hospital emergency care was implemented,and in group B the quality control management measures based on the SHEL accident analysis method was applied in addition to the emergency care in group A.The two groups were compared in terms of the pre-hospital ambulance care effect after the intervention(response time,pre-hospital emergency time,first electrocardiogram time),the total incidence of errors and accidents during the intervention period,as well as the quality of nursing care and patients'satisfaction with nursing care after the intervention.Results Compared with group A after the intervention,group B had shorter response time[(1.78±0.52)min vs.(2.45±0.57)min,t=6.016,P<0.05],pre-hospital emergency time[(25.76±5.64)min vs.(34.25±5.59)min,t=7.407,P<0.05],and first electrocardiogram time[(14.74±3.48)min vs.(18.36±4.23)min,t=7.407,P<0.05](all P<0.05).During the intervention period,the total incidence of errors and accidents in group B was lower than that of Group A(20.83%vs.6.25%,χ2=4.360,P<0.05).And after the intervention period,the quality of care and satisfaction with care of group B were both higher than those of Group A(both P<0.05).Conclusion The quality control management intervention based on SHEL accident analysis method is beneficial to improve the pre-hospital emergency care effect of patients with acute myocardial infarction,reduce the occurrence of errors and accidents during the intervention period,and improve the quality of care and the patients'satisfaction,which is worthy of reference.

Analysis on supportive care needs and associated factors in breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy
[Journal Article]Yang Huan, Sun Wenwen, Dong Lili-Contemporary Interventional Medicine of Electronic Journal2025, No.06

Abstract:Objective To understand the level of supportive care needs in breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy and analyze the characteristics of these needs among patients with different clinical profiles.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 135 breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy at the Breast Surgery Outpatient Department of a tertiary hospital in Lianyungang City from July 2024 to September 2024.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the Supportive Care Needs Survey short-form(SCNS-SF34).One-way ANOVA was employed to compare differences across clinical characteristics,with pairwise comparisons conducted using the LSD test.Results Data from 132 patients were included(3 invalid questionnaires excluded).Patients during endocrine therapy for breast cancer exhibited high supportive care needs,particularly in the domains of physical and daily living needs,health information needs,and psychological needs.Higher need scores were associated with shorter postoperative duration,more advanced pathological stage,older age,lower education level,and lower monthly household income.Conclusion Patients undergoing endocrine therapy still have multiple unmet needs.Current health information provided by clinical practitioners remains insufficient,highlighting the necessity to strengthen community collaboration,leverage science popularization and online platforms,and better address patients'needs during home-based care.Additionally,attention to patients'psychological well-being is critical to mitigate the impact of negative emotions on disease outcomes.

Efficacy of oxiracetam in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage patients

Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of oxiracetam in the treatment of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 100 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted from March 2023 to March 2025 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the observation group(n=50)and the control group(n=50)according to the random number table method.The control group was given conventional antihypertensive,dehydration,hemostasis and symptomatic supportive treatments.The observation group was additionally treated with oxiracetam on this basis.The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups of patients,including the NIHSS score,GCS score,and ADL score before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded.Result The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was 98.0%,and that in the control group was 86.0%.Through comparison,the treatment effect of the observation group was higher(χ2=4.891,P<0.05).The NIHSS score in the observation group decreased,while the GCS score and ADL score were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The levels of IL-6,CRP and NSE in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The incidences of adverse reactions in the two groups of patients were similar(χ2=0.210,P>0.05).Conclusion Oxiractam can significantly improve the neurological deficits and activities of daily living in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,reduce the levels of neurological injury markers,and has good safety.It is worthy of clinical promotion.
