ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristics of papers published in Organ Transplantation in the past ten years. Methods The academic papers published in Organ Transplantation from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The publication volume, the funded paper ratio, authors, research institutions and keywords were analyzed by information visualization software CiteSpace 5.3 and VOSviewer 1.6. Results From 2010 to 2019, a total of 919 academic papers were published in Organ Transplantation, with an average annual publication volume of 92, showing an overall stable trend. The funded paper ratio and the ratio of papers with funding support at the provincial level or above increased year by year, reaching 100% in 2019. High-yield authors mainly formed two research teams led by Shi Bingyi and Chen Guihua respectively. The first authors were distributed across China. In recent years, as many as 58 programmatic papers were published by national academic institutions, especially signed by Branch of Organ Transplantation of Chinese Medical Association. The average number of authors per paper was 4.94 in Organ Transplantation, and the proportion of papers contributed by two or more authors remained above 90% in recent years. According to the analysis of research institutions, the average number of institutions per paper was 1.60 in Organ Transplantation. Keyword co-occurrence network analysis demonstrated that liver transplantation, renal transplantation and organ transplantation were the research hotspots in the field of organ transplantation. Keyword cluster analysis showed that research mainly focused on 9 fields, such as liver transplantation, renal transplantation, organ transplantation, organ donation, posttransplantation complications, transplantation immunity, end-stage liver disease, xenotransplantation and stem cell transplantation. Keyword burst analysis showed that xenotransplantation, α-1, 3-galactose, transplantation immunity, apoptosis, donor specific antibody (DSA), antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and flow cytometry were the research hotspots. Conclusions The authors that publish academic papers in Organ Transplantation come from major transplantation centers all over the country. The papers of Organ Transplantation cover the research hotspots of each branch in the field of organ transplantation, and include a large quantity of programmatic papers signed and published by national academic institutions, which show the frontier hotspots and the highest level of research in the field of organ transplantation in China, making Organ Transplantation an excellent academic journal.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application effect of telemedicine robot on the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from donation after cardiac death (DCD). Methods A total of 100 recipients undergoing liver transplantation from DCD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University from January 2014 to December 2017 were recruited in this investigation. According to differnt follow-up patterns, all recipients were divided into the research group (n=50, follow-up by telemedicine robot) and control group (n=50, follow-up by traditional telephone). The compliance (medication compliance, self-monitoring, life compliance and follow-up compliance), follow-up time and follow-up satisfaction at postoperative 3 months of all DCD liver transplantation recipients were analyzed and statistically compared between research group and control group. Results The scores of medication compliance, self-monitoring, life compliance, follow-up compliance and the total score of compliance in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The each follow-up time of liver transplantation recipients in the research group was (9±4) min, significantly shorter than (13±4) min in the control group (t=-4.452, P < 0.001). The score of satisfaction during postoperative follow-up in the research group was 19.8±2.6, significantly higher than 16.2±3.1 in the control group (t=6.234, P < 0.001). Conclusions The application effect of telemedicine robot on the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from DCD is satisfactory, deserves widespread application in clinical practice. It is expected to become an indispensable part of the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from DCD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a pulling device using magnetic positioning to optimize the procedures of repairment of donor liver from organ donation . Methods The pig liver specimens were used to measure the pull force of repairment of donor liver, magnetic spiderman was developed based on the measurement results. The magnetic spiderman was applied to simulate the repairment of donor liver from organ donation on the pig liver specimens. The effectiveness of magnetic spiderman was also evaluated. Results The pulling force was required all less than 2 N during the repairment of donor liver. The magnetic spiderman was successfully manufactured. The magnets of magnetic spiderman could generate 3 N magnetic forces with paramagnetic basin of hepatic repairment. The self-retraction pull wire of the magnetic spiderman could provide 2.5 N pulling forces. The magnetic spiderman was successfully applied to the simulated experiment of repairment of donor liver from organ donation in 6 cases. The operation time was (54±5) min. No clip slippage,displacement and slippage of the base occurred during the operation. With the cooperation of multiple magnetic spidermen,the remaining surgical procedures were performed by one single surgeon except for the vascular ligation. Conclusions The magnetic spiderman has small volume and implements flexible positioning, can perform pulling operation and nottake up operational space. It can effectively optimize the procedures of repairment of donor liver from organ donation and reduce the quantity of surgeons.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the current status and development tendency of doctor-nurse integration mode in China. Methods Toally 312 research papers with regard to doctor-nurse integration mode published in CJFD database from Mainland China were obtained and analyzed from each distribution in terms of year,journal,area,writer,organization,theme,fund support and research object. Results Since the concept of doctor-nurse mode was introduced into clinical practice in 2011, correlation studies showed an increasing trend year by year. Relevant literature in this study was published from the 136 medical journals and 28 provinces in Mainland China, with the theme focusing on the clinical nursing research. Guangdong Province, Sichuan Province and Chongqing City were on the top three. 33 (10.58%) of the researches were sponsored with provincial and national funds. Conclusions As a new mode in the medical care management, doctor-nurse integration mode becomes more and more popular in clinical practice and shows an increasing trend in research and application. However, the quality of clinical research is still at a low level. More multi-centered, high quality, randomized controlled trials are needed. Moreover, management standard and specification of this field have not been regulated in China.
