"Aiding Xinjiang is a mission and a responsibility, and as a medical worker, I am honored to be able to do something practical and good for the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang."
At the beginning of March 2021, as a member of the "group-style" aid team of 33 medical talents in Guangdong Province, Cai Xiaodong, deputy director of the Department of Neurology of our hospital, came to Kashgar with a warm heart and full of true feelings.
"Truly improving the level of neurology diagnosis and treatment in the First Hospital of Kadi and solving the pain of patients in southern Xinjiang is my biggest wish on this trip."
Overall management, professional subdivision to a new height
When he first arrived at the First Hospital of Kadi, Cai Xiaodong was entrusted with the responsibility of director of the Department of Neurology, and coordinated the management of the three wards of the First Ward, the Second Ward and the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit of the Department of Neurology.
In order to understand the operation status of the department as soon as possible, Cai Xiaodong, with the help of local expert Director Yan Wei, quickly gained a deep understanding of the operation of each ward and carried out full exchanges with local colleagues.
"The Kadi Neurology Department is a united and combative team!" After fully understanding the situation of neurology, Cai Xiaodong sincerely praised the achievements of neurology and was also touched by the efforts made by experts and local doctors who had donated to Xinjiang. "When I take over the baton of aiding Xinjiang, I feel that I have a heavy responsibility to aid Xinjiang."
Establish a lofty goal of changing from "large volume" to "high quality". In view of the specific conditions of the department, Cai Xiaodong gradually sorted out the work process, standardized the diagnosis and treatment system, and regularly carried out small lectures, teaching rounds, difficult case discussions, MDT discussions and other activities, starting from himself, to comprehensively improve the medical quality of the department.

In addition, Cai Xiaodong also selected potential young doctors for sub-professional training according to the characteristics and abilities of different doctors in the department. The neurologic epilepsy team trained by him has now opened an epilepsy specialist clinic and established the Kashgar Regional Epilepsy Diagnosis and Treatment Alliance, which has effectively improved the standardized and individualized diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy diseases in the Kadi First Hospital.

Skillfully, new technologies fill in the gaps
With the establishment of epilepsy clinics and the popularity of free clinics, more and more people know Cai Xiaodong's golden signboard.
In the past two years, the 14-year-old patient Alimu (pseudonym) has always had paresthesias in both legs when standing up or moving, and then has both upper limbs rotating and twisting his head to the left or right when walking, which has brought great psychological pressure to the patient.
The family traveled to many places, unable to diagnose clearly, and finally came to the epilepsy clinic of the First Hospital of Kadi with the last glimmer of hope.
With his rich experience, Cai Xiaodong can see at a glance that the patient's illness is "exercise-induced dystonia". With the help of Cai Xiaodong and local doctors, Alimu carried out comprehensive symptomatic standardized treatment in the First Hospital of Kadi, and during his hospitalization, his symptoms improved significantly, and there has been no recurrence since he was discharged from the hospital, and the disease of Little Alimu has been effectively treated.
In order to solve the dilemma of facial muscle spasm and spastic torticollis in Kashgar, Cai Xiaodong actively introduced botulinum toxin treatment technology, turning the disease that could only be treated in Urumqi into a routine diagnosis and treatment project of Kadi Hospital, truly allowing patients to enjoy "one-stop service at the doorstep".
In order to let this technology stay in Kashgar and continue to take root, Cai Xiaodong strictly implemented the system of mentoring and apprenticeship, and passed on his skills to local apprentices such as Nurbia, creating a team that "cannot be taken away".

In the operating room, Cai Xiaodong also actively launched a series of new technologies and new projects, and cerebrovascular surgery through arterial puncture is one of the representatives.
According to Cai Xiaodong, compared with the traditional femoral artery puncture approach, transreidial artery puncture has the advantages of small damage, fast recovery, no need to stay in bed, etc., which significantly shortens the hospitalization time, can greatly reduce the burden on patients, and greatly improve the patient's medical experience.
"Under the patient guidance of Director Cai, the interventional team of the Department of Neurology of The First Hospital of Kadi has overcome many difficulties and gradually become familiar with and mastered this technology, which has enabled our department to take the interventional diagnosis and treatment technology to a new level." Yan Wei, director of the Second Department of Neurology, gave a high evaluation to Cai Xiaodong's innovative breakthrough.
Focusing on the future, scientific research will re-innovate to a higher level
"If you want to be a good doctor, it is not enough to see a doctor, you must focus on the future, aspire to be a medical scientist, and constantly research to promote the progress of medicine." Scientific research promotes medical progress, which is Cai Xiaodong's truest idea.
Cai Xiaodong selected outstanding talents from young doctors to receive scientific research training, and selected Dr. Wu Longfei to participate in the scientific research talent training program to reserve talents for the future scientific research development of the department.
At the same time, in order to improve the overall scientific research ability of the department, he also regularly holds a "neurological research salon" in the department, conducts literature reading and reporting, supervises the topics currently being carried out in the class, and solves the current problems in a timely manner.
"This is an important breakthrough in my career and medical career, I used to think that doing scientific research projects is a very difficult thing, if there is no teacher Cai Xiaodong, I may still have to grope on the road of scientific research for a long time." With the help of Cai Xiaodong, the apprentice Nurbia successfully applied for the first time in the field of epilepsy in Kashgar.

A year has passed, and although Cai Xiaodong has left Kashgar and returned to Guangdong, the team he left behind is continuing their common cause. Cai Xiaodong used his true feelings and blood to water a neuroscience poplar seed on this land, resistant to drought and not withered, not to fall through the wind and sand, I believe that in time, it will eventually become a towering tree and protect the land of southern Xinjiang.
