Objective To investigate the present situations of anticoagulant treatment of non-valvular atri-al fibrillation in order to get better guidance of the clinical anticoagulant therapy and reduce the incidence of stroke caused by atrial fibrillation. Methods The clinical data of NVAF patients hospitalized in the first affili-ated hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 1 , 2012 to December 31 , 2014 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed in terms of basic characteristics , medical treatment plan and INR monitoring. Results A total of 1,390 patients were enrolled, 85.97% of whom needed anticoagulant therapy and 25.18% of whom were treated with anticoagulants. For 15.71% of the NVAF patients treated with warfarin , INR met the standard during hospitalization. In the study, such factors as age, coronary heart disease, history of stroke and history of bleed-ing might affect prescription of anticoagulant drugs. Conclusion Most NVAF patients need anticoagulant thera-py, but the rate of anticoagulant therapy is lower than we expected. Among those patients treated with warfarin during hospitalization , the rate of INR meeting the standard is at a lower level. The novel oral anticoagulants are not in wide use in the clinical practice.

At present, the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 is still serious, and the prevention and control of this epidemic is taken seriously throughout the country. As one of the most common acute abdominal diseases in hepatobiliary surgery, gallstones with acute cholecystitis has sudden onset and rapid progression and thus requires early diagnosis and timely and effective treatment. During the prevention and control of the epidemic, patients should be admitted properly to reduce nosocomial infection. Gallstones with acute cholecystitis is often accompanied by pyrexia, and therefore, the presence or absence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection should be clarified. Treatment regimen should be selected appropriately and individualized treatment measures should be developed. While ensuring that patients receive timely and effective diagnosis and treatment, hospitals should adopt prevention and control measures for patients and their caregivers to reduce nosocomial infection. The personal protection of medical personnel should also be taken seriously, and scientific measures should be implemented to guarantee their safety.
