And now, the University is celebrating its milestone of 100 cases of robotic prostatectomy. CUHK held its celebration on 25 May. Officiating at the event were Dr. the Honourable Leong Che-hung, non-official member of the Executive Council, HKSAR Government; Ms. Florine Tang, Manager, Charities, The Hong Kong Jockey Club; Prof. Fok Tai-fai, Dean, Faculty of Medicine; Prof. Li Kam-tao Philip, deputy hospital chief executive, Prince of Wales Hospital and Prof. Charles Andrew van Hasselt, chairman of Executive Board, CUHK Jockey Club Minimally Invasive Surgical Skills Centre. In addition, 80 patients and their relatives were invited to join the celebration and share their joy. A clinical study was conducted in 2008 to compare the outcomes of robotic prostatectomy and traditional open surgery. In the robotic group, the blood transfusion rate was significantly lower (5 vs 65%), the mean hospital stay was shorter (8 vs 17 days), as was the mean catheter time (12 vs 18 days). All of these facilitate early mobilization and reduce postoperative morbidity. A robotic surgery programme in urology was first introduced to Hong Kong by CUHK in 2005. Since then, robotic prostatectomy has been routinely offered 聯招改選結果公布 Changes of Programme JUPAS Choices Result Announced 大學聯合招生辦法已於5月25日截止改選。 The deadline for changes in programme choices of JUPAS closed on 25 May. 最多學生列為Band A（首三）選擇的五個中大課程： The five CUHK programmes selected by the largest number of students as their Band A (top three) choices are: 課程 Programmes 學額 Intake Band A 申請人數 No. of Band A applicants 1）酒店及旅遊管理學 Hotel and Tourism Management 66 916 2）護理學 Nursing 197 734 3）社會工作學 Social Work 48 645 4）人類學 Anthropology 20 613 5）法學 Laws 65 507 以Band A選擇，競爭最激烈的五個中大課程： The five CUHK prorgrammes with the highest competition rate in Band A choices are: 課程 Programmes 學額 Intake Band A 申請人數 No. of Band A applicants 競爭比率 Competition rate 1）人類學 Anthropology 20 613 30.7 :1 2）文化研究 Cultural Studies 17 262 15.4 :1 3）語言學 Linguistics 20 293 14.7 :1 4）酒店及旅遊管理學 Hotel and Tourism Management 66 916 13.9 :1 5）社會工作學 Social Work 48 645 13.4 :1 此外，今年經「校長推薦計劃」申請中大課程的學生有571名，共作出 797個課程選擇。 A total of 571 candidates applied for CUHK through the sub-system for School Principal’s Nominations this year, making 797 programme choices. •
