电视胸腔镜下肺癌切除术应用体会

电视胸腔镜手术被视为20世纪末期胸外科界革命性的一大突破,是微创胸腔外科应用范围最为广阔的胸腔镜手术。其中,腔镜下治疗非小细胞肺癌的肺叶切除术是胸外科微创的代表性手术,其创伤小、恢复快、并发症发生率低等优点日益明显。尽管胸腔镜肺癌切除的安全性及有效性得到普遍认可,而且胸腔镜手术治疗早期肺癌患者也取得了良好的效果,但目前...     

转化医学与肿瘤诊治

转化医学是促进基础研究成果向临床应用转化和根据临床医学的需求从事应用基础研究的桥梁。本文以转化医学在肿瘤防治研究的实例,分析转化医学的意义,以期为使大家重视转化医学,提高肿瘤诊治水平。     

超声联合微泡剂介导的肿瘤靶向治疗研究进展

包被气体的微泡剂作为超声造影剂不仅显著提高了临床超声显像诊断能力,而且其作为一种新型药物载体的靶向治疗作用正逐步被揭示。携带基因或药物的超声微泡剂介导肿瘤靶向治疗已经成为超声研究领域中的研究热点。这种微泡剂在超声能量作用下因空化效应导致自身破裂并定向释放所携带的药物或者基因,使特定肿瘤组织或细胞部位浓度大大提高,从而起...     

干细胞移植治疗缺血性心脏病研究的新途径:miRNAs

miRNAs在干细胞的自我更新、多向分化及分泌血管活性物质等过程中扮演作非常重要作用。近年来人们对于干细胞移植术治疗缺血性心脏病,取得了一定的成果,但仍然存在着大量有待解决的问题。例如如何增加移植后的干细胞存活率;改善梗死区的微环境,增加迁移或归巢到梗死区干细胞的数量等,而miRNAs在干细胞中的调节机制且表明miRNAs有可能成为干细胞移植研究的一个新的切入点。     

结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物的最新研究进展

结直肠癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。其起病隐匿、病死率较高,治疗成功的关键在于早期发现、早期诊断,结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物曾为此做出了贡献。近年又发现了许多新的结直肠癌相关肿瘤标志物,其中有的已进入临床应用,还将有更多标志物为结直肠癌的早期诊断、疗效观察、预后判断和复发监测提供新思路和新方法。     

癌症化疗患者护患沟通环节流程化模式初探

在癌症化疗患者的整体护理中,护患沟通较之躯体护理更具挑战性,表现为沟通难做、效果难评、学生难带、绩效难考。作者尝试一种模式,把护患沟通的各环节工作流程化、任务表格化,即首先按精心设计的流程及内容完成针对性调查,找出影响与患者沟通的有关因素及患者最为关注的问题,针对性地运用各种沟通技巧逐一沟通,实现护患沟通的个体化和差异化,同时使护患沟通环节工作有模式、效果有评价、教学有路径、考核有标准。     

‘What made me unhappy’. Experiences of,and responses to,lifestyle changes in breast cancer patients

Sixteen breast cancer patients were interviewed about any lifestyle changes they had experienced and their reactions to those changes. Data were collected and analysed via content analysis and then summary tabulations of patient responses until replication of responses was verified across patients. Results indicated that most patients suffered a reduction in recreation activities, unpleasant physical side effects from treatment and loss of feminine appearance characteristics, all of which were seen as decreases in previously available and valuable sources of social support and self-esteem. In response to these losses, patients reported a common coping strategy of avoidance or escape similar to some depressive symptomatology. Implications for counsellors are discussed.     

The pathological left-handedness syndrome

A clinical syndrome of pathological left-handedness (PLH) is proposed to identify the pattern of correlative changes in lateral development associated with early brain injury in some manifest left-handers. This syndrome is believed to be caused by a hemispheric lesion that is predominantly left-sided (or bilateral asymmetric), which onsets before Age 6, and which encroaches upon the critical speech zones of the frontotemporal/frontoparietal cortex. The pattern of changes may include any or all of the following features: shifts in manual dominance, trophic changes in the extremities, transfer of hemispheric speech, and/or intrahemispheric reorganization of visuospatial cognitive functions. Although some of these correlates of PLH have long been known, they have not been recognized as an interrelated pattern of traits that constitute a clinical syndrome. Identification of these individuals, all manifest left-handers, will be shown to have implications for diagnosis/remediation and for models of recovery of function.     

Realism,instrumentalism, and the intentional stance

One of Dennett's principal arguments for an instrumentalistic construal of intentional attributions (e.g., attributions of belief, etc.) is that such attributions are environment relative. I argue that one can and should adopt a realist perspective toward such attributions, but accommodate their environmental relativity by treating intentional properties as relational properties. By doing so one acquires a useful perspective on experimental cognitive psychology; in particular, one can overcome the temptation to treat ecological accounts and information processing accounts as incompatible alternatives and come to see them as mutually supportive. Treating intentional properties as relational may be counter-intuitive, but I provide examples of how other sciences have had to treat what seem to be intrinsic properties as relational.
