Objective To evaluate the effects of neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiotherapy (CRT), neoadjuvant short-course radiotherapy (SCRT), and total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) on chemoradiotherapy related complications and perioperative safety in mid-low rectal cancer patients. Methods The clinical data of 63 rectal cancer patients who received neoadjuvant (chemo) radiotherapies and surgery treatment in West China Hospital from Jul. 2014 to Feb. 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the neoadjuvant regimen, the patients were divided into CRT group (n=15), SCRT group (n=30), and TNT group (n=18), and then the effects of these 3 kinds of neoadjuvant regimen on chemoradiotherapy related complications and perioperative safety were compared. Results ① Chemoradiotherapy related complications: among all the included 63 patients, 29 patients (46.0%) occurred chemoradiotherapy related complications, including radiation enteritis in 9 patients and bone marrow suppression in 25 patients. There were significant differences in the overall incidence of chemoradiotherapy related complications, incidence of radiation enteritis and bone marrow suppression (P≤0.001). The overall incidence of chemoradiotherapy related complications and incidence of bone marrow suppression of SCRT group were lower. ② Perioperative safety: no significant differences were found in the incidence of surgical complications, incidence of specific surgical complication, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative flatus time (P<0.05), but there was significant difference in the postoperative hospital stay among 3 groups (P=0.033), the postoperative hospital stay of SCRT group was shorter. Conclusion CRT, SCRT, and TNT have similar effect on the safety in the mid-low rectal cancer patients, which suggests that SCRT is worthy of further research and promotion.

West China Hospital of Sichuan University has actively explored the development and optimization of its sports medicine discipline outpatient management system, establishing a comprehensive model that integrates diagnosis and treatment, functional rehabilitation, exercise-based health management, and extended care services. This article systematically summarizes the practical experiences of the sports medicine outpatient department, including subspecialty setting, exercise prescription services, outpatient assistant mechanisms, online expert teams, multi-campus coordination, and full-process health management. Emphasizing a function-oriented and patient-centered approach, the article also discusses the extended value of outpatient services in translational research, smart healthcare, and preventive health strategies. This model provides a replicable and scalable reference for the development of sports medicine outpatient clinics.
Objective To analyze the benign-malignant outcomes of pulmonary nodules in surgical patients and their influencing factors, and provide evidence and ideas for optimizing and improving the integrated management model of pulmonary nodules. Methods From October to December 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select patients who underwent lung surgery at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between July 2022 and June 2023 for this study. The malignancy rate of postoperative pathological results of pulmonary nodules and its influencing factors were analyzed using univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression. Results A total of 4600 surgical patients with pulmonary nodules were included, with a malignancy rate of 88.65% (4078/4600) and a benign rate of 11.35% (522/4600). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in malignancy rates among different genders, ages, methods of pulmonary nodule detection, and smoking histories (P<0.05); however, no significant difference was found regarding place of birth or family history of lung cancer (P>0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that females [odds ratio (OR)=1.533, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.271, 1.850)], older age groups [61-75 vs. ≤30 years: OR=1.640, 95%CI (1.021, 2.634); >75 vs. ≤30 years: OR=2.690, 95%CI (1.062, 6.814)], and pulmonary nodules detected during physical examinations [OR=1.286, 95%CI (1.064, 1.554)] were high-risk factors for malignancy, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion In the integrated management of pulmonary nodules, it is crucial not to overlook females or older patients, as they may be more significant influencing factors than smoking; furthermore, lung examinations are effective means of early detection of malignant lung tumors and are worth promoting and popularizing.
Objective To explore the clinical value, latest research progress, and clinical controversy of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Method We searched and reviewed on the latest literatures about studies of the clinical research of TNT in LARC. Results TNT could make the tumor downstage rapidly and improve the patients’ treatment compliance. In terms of organ preservation rate, 3-year disease-free survival and pathological complete remission rate, TNT had advantages and was a especial potential treatment strategy compared with traditional methods. Conclusions TNT decreases local recurrence rate and improves the long-term survival. For LARC patients with strong desire for organ preservation, TNT is a good treatment choice and has the value of clinical promotion.
Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to improving the survival rate and reducing the mortality rate for lung cancer patients. This article introduces the integrated management model for patients with pulmonary nodules/lung cancer developed by West China Hospital of Sichuan University based on “internet plus” and health service team of treatment, nursing, and care. The Integrated Care Management Center has established a multidisciplinary team, using internet platforms and artificial intelligence tools to develop a whole life cycle health service system for patients with pulmonary nodules/lung cancer, which is from the screening of high-risk population for lung cancer, the intelligent risk stratification and follow-up management of pulmonary nodules, the subsequent standardized diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and comorbidity management, until the patient’s demise. After the implementation of this model, the malignancy rate in surgically treated patients with pulmonary nodules reached 85.08%, and the patient satisfaction score was 95.76. This model provides a new idea and reference for the innovation of chronic disease service model and the management of pulmonary nodules and lung cancer.
Day surgery has been applied in practice since more than 30 years ago in western world, which could obviously reduce the length of hospital stay, accelerate the recovery of patients, and achieve desirable economic and social benefits. Despite of the common development of day surgery in various diseases, the application of day surgery in breast general anesthesia surgery is limited. No related management standard has been established. By summarizing the experience of breast cancer day-surgery, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University has established a comprehensive management standard, including preoperation, intraoperation, and postoperation management. Meanwhile, the nursing, resource allocation, follow-up, and stuff management are all enrolled into the management standard, aiming to improve the development of day surgery in general anesthesia breast cancer operation.
Objective To integrate augmented reality (AR) into the whole process of health management and observe its application effect in hip replacement patients. Methods Patients undergoing hip replacement in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of West China Hospital, Sichuan University between April and September 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into a trial group and a control group. The trial group adopted the whole process AR health management mode, and the control group adopted the conventional health education mode. The joint function score, functional exercise compliance, coping difficulties after discharge, Huaxi Emotional-distress Index and satisfaction of the two groups at different time points were compared. Results A total of 80 patients were included, with 40 patients in each group. At each follow-up time point after surgery, the scores of Harris Hip Score and Post-Discharge Coping Difficulty Scale among trial group patients were better than those of the control group patients (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Huaxi Emotional-distress Index scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The compliance rate of functional exercise in the trial group (P=0.025) and the patient satisfaction were higher than those in the control group (Z=−4.918, P<0.05). Conclusions The AR-based whole process health management can make it easier for patients to grasp functional exercise (preoperative pre-exercise, postoperative rehabilitation), post-hospital health guidance and other educational knowledge. This new health management is conducive to enhancing patients’ exercise compliance, strengthening joint function recovery, daily living ability and patient satisfaction.It can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
In addition to implementing a series of measures in the hospital, enhanced recovery after surgery also needs to balance pre-hospital rehabilitation and post-hospital continuation management for patients.
