Objective To review the experience in managing severe major jugular vascular injuries. Methods Fifteen cases (11 men and 4 women, aged 18～49 years) treated by operation were collected. The injuried vessels included common carotid artery, internal carotid artery, subclavian artery and accompanying veins, carotid reconstruction was performed by jugular vein transplantation and followed by wrapping with PTFE artificial blood vessel in 15 cases. Result All the fifteen patients were cured and the vasculars were well-functioning 3～12 weeks after the surgery. Conclusion The mortality of severe large cervical vascular injuries is very high because of acute bleeding, cerebral ischimia and suffocation. In managing this catastrophe, keeping the airway clear and stop bleeding effectively are fundamental. Good knowledge and expertise in vascular and microvascular surgery are mandatory for the success of the procedure.

Objective　To study the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of hepatolithiasis combined with cholangiocarcinoma. Methods　The clinical, pathological and follow-up data of 17 cases of hepatolithiasis combined with cholangiocarcinoma were retrospectively analysed. Results　The results showed that the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma in hepatolithiasis was 5% in this series. 17.6% of the patients were diagnosed as cholangiocarcinoma preoperatively. Tumor occurring in intrahepatic ducts was 88.2% and in hepatic porta ducts 11.8%. Nine cases were well-differentiated adenocarcinomas. Only 7(41.2%) cases were radically resected and their average survival time was 26.0 months. Eight(47.1%) patients underwent internal drainage with average survival time 12.4 months. 2(11.7%) cases subject to external drainage with survival time 3.6 months. Conclusions　If patients with hepatolithiasis have a long history of recurrent cholangitis, weight-loss in a short period, progressive jaundice or intractable abdominal pain, the possiblility of combined with cholangiocarcinoma should be considered. Resection of the tumor has a better prognosis than that of tumor unresected; and the prognosis of internal drainage is better than that of external drainage.

Objective To investigate the rules of medication and combinations of anti-tumor formulas containing marine Chinese medicinals. Methods The anti-tumor formulas containing marine Chinese medicinal were collected from Marine Chinese Medicinal and Effective formulas, Dictionary of Chinese Marine Medicinals, Marine Chinese Materia Medica, and databases including CNKI. A database was established for data mining by using V2. 5 software of TCM inheritance support system (TCMISS). Results There were totally 251 anti-tumor formulas containing marine Chinese medicinals involved 417 Chinese medicinal including 36 marine Chinese medicinals. The nature of medicinals in these formulas were mainly cold, neutral and warm, flavors of them were mainly bitterness, pungency, sweetness and saltiness,and they mainly entered into meridians of liver,lung,stomach,spleen and heart. The analysis of association rules showed that core combination was Muli (Oyster Shell, Concha Ostreae)-Haizao (Seaweed, Sargassum)-Kunbu (Kelp, Thallus Laminariae), which was commonly combined with medicinals with effects of clearing heart,tonifying,resolving phlegm,dissipating binds,activating blood and resolving stasis in clinical practice. Entropy clustering analysis showed that there were 12 combinations with core medicinals,and they were Haizao-Haigeqiao(Clam Shell,Goncha Meretricis seu Cyclinae)-Kunbu, Zaojiaoci (Chinese Honeylocust Spine, Spina Gleditsiae)-Chuanshanjia (Pangolin Scales,Squama Manitis)-Jiangcan (Batryticated Silkworm, Bombyx Batryticatus), Muxiang (Common Aucklandia Root,Radix Aucklandiae)-Walengzi (Ark Shell, Concha Arcae)-Puhuang (Cattail Pollen, Pollen Typhae), Chansu (Toad Venom, Venenum Bufonis)-Xionghuang (Realgar, Realgar)-Zhenzhu (Pearl,Pernulo),Huangbai(Amur Cork-Tree,Cortex Phellodendri)-Yunaoshi(Fish Otolith,Asteriscus Pseudosciaenae)-Bingpian (Bomeol, Bomeolum Syntheticum), Haima (Sea Horse, Hippocampus)-Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel, Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride)-Qianniuzi (Pharbitis Seed, Semen Pharbitidis), Haizao-Kunbu-Gancao (Liquorice Root, Radix Glycyrrhizae), Wangbuliuxing (Vaccaria Seed,Semen Vaccariae)-Chuanshanjia-Muli, Fengfang (Hornet Nest, Nidus Vespae)-Walengzi-Qianxie (Scorpion,Scorpio),Shexiang (Musk,Moschus)-Xuejie (Dragon's Blood,Risina Draconis)-Zhenzhu, Huangbai (Amur Cork-Tree, Cortex Phellodendri)-Ruxiang (Frankincense, Olibanum)-Bingpian, and Qingpi-Wulingzhi (Trogopterus Dung, Faeces Trogopterorum)-Dafupi (Shell of Arecanut, Pericarpium Arecae). There were 6 new combinations, and they were Haizao-Haigeqiao-Kunbu-Gancao, Zaojiaoci-Chuanshanjia-Jiangcan-Wangbuliuxing-Muli, Muxiang-Walengzi-Puhuang-Fengfang-Qianxie, Chansu-Xionghuang-Zhenzhu-Shexiang-Xuejie, Huangbai-Yunaoshi-Bingpian-Ruxiang, and Haima-Qingpi-Qianniuzi-Wulingzhi-Dafupi. The high-frequency tumor diseases, totally 47, treated with anti-tumor for-mulas containing marine Chinese medicinals,were successively thyroid tumor,lung cancer,liver cancer, uterine fibroids, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and mammary cancer.

Objective:To build a three-dimensional evaluation model of single bed efficiency in an obstetrics and gynecology hospital and provide reference for bed management in hospital.Methods:The sample ward and key indicators were determined through interviews. A two-level database was built according to patients′ data from hospital information system. K-means cluster analysis was used to get the beds classified by annual average vacancy(x), annual average turnover(y) and annual average case-mix index per capita(z). The authors built the three-dimensional bed efficiency model with x, y, z as boundaries and analyzed the bed efficiency by comparing the within group average point A k( x k, y k, z k) with the overall average point A0( x, y, z). Whereafter the bed efficiency of each medical work team was analyzed. Results:Thirty-six beds were classified into 4 categories according to utilization efficiency. 50% of the beds(18 beds) were well used, 28%(10 beds) had room for improvement, and 19%(7 beds) may have resource waste. Significant differences existed in bed efficiency among medical work teams.Conclusions:The model in our study can realize in-depth exploration by evaluating bed efficiency from two aspects of the whole ward and each medical work team. This model, which is mainly applicable to the situation where beds are under the charge of fixed medical work groups or doctors, can be adjusted and extended to meet different strategic needs of hospitals.

Objective:To understand the knowledge awareness and service acceptance of HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) men who have sex with men (MSM) among college students in three cities of China.Methods:Male college students in 10 universities of Beijing, Shenzhen and Kunming aged 18 and above who had sex with men in the last 3 months were recruited as research objects by cluster stratified sampling from March 15, 2019 to April 14, 2019.Basic information, sexual behavior characteristics, knowledge, and service acceptance of nPEP were collected through online questionnaire survey. Multivariate dichotomy and unconditioned logistic regression model was used to explore related factors about knowledge awareness and service acceptance of nPEP.Results:A total of 293 MSM were surveyed. The average age was (21.0±0.2) years old, and 91.1% (267) were undergraduates. In the last 3 months before the survey, 54.3%(159) used condom each time of sex; 4.4%(13) had intercourse with the HIV infected men, and 9.2% (27)suffered STDs in the past 6 months. The 29.4% (86) had not received HIV testing in the past year. The nPEP knowledge awareness rate was 47.8% (140). The 21.2% (62) counseled nPEP services, and 9.9% (29) received nPEP services. After multiple logistic regression analysis, compared with those who not received HIV testing in the past year, OR(95% CI) value of those who received HIV testing for more than twice in the past year to aware the nPEP knowledge was 3.15 (1.01-9.86). Compared with those who not received HIV testing in the past year, OR(95% CI) value of those who received HIV testing for more than twice in the past year to counsel the nPEP services was 5.29 (1.51-18.51). Compared with those who never used rush in the last 3 months, OR(95% CI) value of those who ever used rush in the last 3 months to receive the nPEP services was 3.86 (0.99-14.98). Compared with those who not sexed with HIV infected in the last 3 months, OR (95% CI) value of those who sexed with HIV infected in the last 3 months to receive the nPEP services was 14.30 (3.35-61.03). Conclusion:The proportions of awareness of nPEP knowledge and acceptance of nPEP services are low. MSM among college students need further health education of the nPEP knowledge to improve the accessibility of services.
