Interview Transcript: Host: Hello everyone, welcome to the “famous doctor lecture” column sponsored by the public network. This column we invited the guest is the capital medical university three Bo brain hospital medical director Yan Changxiang. Hello, President Yan.  Yan Changxiang: Hello.  Host: President Yan, you are a long way from the VIP, for Shandong netizens, we capital medical university three Bo brain hospital is relatively new, you can give us an explanation?  Yan Changxiang: Capital Medical University three Bo brain hospital was established in 2004, is by Professor Luan Guoming, Professor Shi Xiangen, Professor Yu Chunjiang, these three professors founded, is the Chinese Academy of Engineering Academician Professor Wang Loyal of the three apprentices, they are three of the larger public hospitals in Beijing, the director of neurosurgery. They had a dream of how to solve the problem of patients’ difficulty in seeing a doctor, so they formed such a hospital. At that time, it was called Beijing Sanbo Fuxing Brain Hospital, later renamed as Beijing Sanbo Brain Hospital, and last year, it was officially renamed as Sanbo Brain Hospital of Capital Medical University. Since 2005, it has been a master’s and doctoral program of Capital Medical University, because these three professors were our nationally renowned professors, experts and doctoral supervisors before they came out to form this hospital. In 2006, we became the first batch of neurosurgeon training bases of the Ministry of Health, and in 2011, we became a national key clinical specialty, which was evaluated by the Ministry of Health at that time, and there were 3 of them in Beijing, and 16 of them all over the country. Last year, the Beijing Municipal Health Planning Commission included Sanbo Brain Hospital in the top three neurosurgery specialties according to the DRE classification, because it was ranked second. This is the case with the general Sanbo Brain Hospital. Its neurosurgery is a national key clinical surgery, especially the neurosurgery expert team, which should be relatively strong.  Moderator: You came to our Shandong Province, also because there is a cooperation with Shandong Province Traffic Hospital, I would like to ask what is the purpose of our cooperation with Shandong Province Traffic Hospital? Why will choose the Shandong Provincial Traffic Hospital as our cooperation object?  Yan Changxiang: Because the Sanbo brain hospital has developed relatively quickly in the past few years, how the high-end technology of the Sanbo to benefit the people of the country, so we take the group development, a chain of business model. For the time being, we have a Kunming three Bo brain hospital in Kunming, and Chongqing has two hospitals, we were acquired by two central enterprises restructuring the acquisition, called Chongqing three Bo Chang’an and Chongqing three Bo Jiangning Hospital. We are going to cooperate with the traffic hospital in Jinan again, to bring the technology of the Capital Medical University Sanbo Brain Hospital to Shandong. Why do you want to cooperate with Jiaotong Hospital? It is because we have had extensive contact and communication with the traffic hospital during this period, because the various hardware facilities of Shandong traffic hospital have met the basic requirements of our cooperation. Another more important reason is that our traffic hospital from the leadership to the staff, are very supportive of this project.  Moderator: As far as I know, Shandong Jiaotong Hospital has also established four centers based on our cooperation: cerebrovascular disease center, traumatic brain injury center, cranio-cerebral tumor center, epilepsy treatment center, which diseases are mainly treated in these four centers? At the same time our four centers in what the advantages?  Yan Changxiang: Because these centers, you like trauma center, is a variety of causes of cranio-cerebral trauma, it causes brain injury disease, all need surgical intervention. The trauma center itself, our traffic hospital trauma is already very strong, and then injected into the technical strength of the Sanbo brain hospital, I think the strength of the brain surgery center should be able to enhance a big step. There is also the cranio-cerebral tumor center, because one of the core technologies of Sanbo Brain Hospital is several blocks, one is trauma, one is tumor, vascular disease, functional disease, including epilepsy treatment, spinal cord disease, neurosurgery, neuroendoscopic technology plus pediatric neurosurgery these blocks. The technical team of the tumor center is already very strong, so together with the technical team of the Jiaotong Hospital, we can cover a large category of neuro-oncology diseases. Another strong point is epileptic diseases. Epileptic disease is a disease that has a great impact in Sanbo, and certainly in the whole country. It is a combination of medical and surgical treatment to evaluate epileptic patients systematically and then treat them rationally. It is whether I am surgically treated or medically treated, which depends on a comprehensive assessment of epilepsy medical and surgical.  The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.  Yan Changxiang: Because we capital medical university three Bo brain hospital experts, any expert can come to the traffic hospital to sit. At present, we have several experts who can work part-time in the traffic hospital, I can insist on coming to the traffic hospital every week, at least one day; and one of our Professor Yu Chunjiang, Professor Yu Chunjiang he is our initiator, one of the initiators of the Sanbo Brain Hospital, he is mainly specialized in cranial tumors, is the cranial tumors, especially complex skull base tumors, including pituitary tumors, his treatment in the country are very famous experts. His treatment is a very famous expert in the country. There is also Professor Luan Guoming, who mainly treats functional neurological diseases, especially epilepsy, and is an early expert in epilepsy surgery in China. Other experts include Professor Shi Xiangen, who is mainly specialized in the treatment of complex cerebrovascular diseases and intracranial tumors. Other experts like Prof. Wu Bin and Prof. Lin Zhixiong, all these experts can come to Jinan one after another for business trip.  Moderator: As we all know, brain diseases are particularly dangerous once they develop, and the treatment, especially for some surgical diseases, is particularly risky. In addition to our experts’ superior technology, we have no advanced medical equipment can be introduced to us?  Yan Changxiang: Because neurosurgery is a technical work, technology in addition to craft, you must also have some basic hardware facilities. So we cooperate with the traffic hospital a very important premise, is to see the traffic hospital itself hardware facilities have been very good, including our more commonly used neurosurgery microscope. Nowadays, we are all performing microsurgery, and microscope is one of the most important guarantees for micro neurosurgery. There are also other electrophysiological technology, ultrasound technology, including navigation technology, these hardware facilities can ensure that our basic surgery can be completed successfully is a very important guarantee.  Moderator: There is also a question from a user on our online platform. He said that he was diagnosed with pituitary tumor before the festival and has never had any children. He wants to ask, is it a pituitary tumor caused by infertility, how to treat?  The first is to rule out some female or male reproductive system itself. The first is to rule out some female or male reproductive system itself. After this cause is ruled out, one of the very important causes is the central nervous system. In addition to pituitary tumors, there are other diseases in the hypothalamus and pituitary region that can lead to endocrine dysfunction. Of course, pituitary tumor is one of the more common causes. Pituitary tumors can develop at all ages, especially in young and middle-aged people, and when they are combined with menstrual disorders, especially if you are not pregnant after marriage, you should highly suspect pituitary tumors if you exclude gynecological problems themselves.  How can we determine if there is a pituitary tumor? At this time, some relevant tests should be done. These tests include hormone tests, the level of which can reflect whether you have a pituitary gland problem, and one of the better tests, MRI. MRI can see if there is something growing on your pituitary gland, including any problems around the pituitary gland, including a few millimeters of tumor can be detected in time.
