Objective To investigate safety and efficiency of anti-coagulation therapy in patients with high-risk of bleeding and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). Meth-ods Forty patients with high-risk bleeding MODS during CVVH in our hospital were divided into heparin-free group (A group) and low-dose heparin group (B group). Blood coagulation function, platelets counts, blood urea nitrogen, serum creati-nine, PaO2/FIO2 and Apache Ⅱ scores in two groups were tracked before treatment and 24 h, 48 h after treatment. Filter lifespan, median ventilation time, ICU admission time and bleeding complications were observed. Results (1)There was significant difference in levels of blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, PaO2/FIO2 and ApacheⅡscores at 24 h, 48 h after treatment between in low-dose heparin group and those in heparin-free group (P<0.05). (2)Levels of activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), thrombin time (TT) were prolonged. Platelets count were significantly lower at 24 h after treat-ment than that before treatment in low-dose heparin group. Levels of APTT, TT and platelets count had no changes with pro-longed time of CVVH therapy.(3)Average ventilation time, ICU admission time were obviously shorter in low-dose heparin group than that in heparin-free group. Filter lifespan was significant longer in low-dose heparin group than that in heparin-free group, (P<0.05).(4)Bleeding in skin and mucosa was observed in 1 case in low-dose heparin group without other se-vere bleeding complications. Conclusion The results of monocentric study show that low dose of heparin ensure smooth op-eration of CVVH in patients with MODS and high-risk bleeding. The clinical application is safe and efficient.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of subfascial and extrafascial anterior quadratus lumborum block (AQLB).Methods:This study included two trials. TrialⅠ This trail was a retrospective study. The images of patients undergoing abdominal CT examination from January to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed in the picture archiving and communication system of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University. One hundred adult patients with no musculoskeletal disorders or history of thoracolumbar surgery were randomly selected, and the anatomical relation between the quadratus lumbar muscle (QLM) and psoas major muscle (PMM) at the L 4 level was observed. Trial Ⅱ This trail was a prospective study. Twenty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰor Ⅱ male patients, aged 18-65 yr, with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, who underwent elective unilateral AQLB lower abdominal surgery in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January to February 2024, were included and divided into subfascial group and extrafascial group using computer-generated random numbers, with 10 cases per group (5 cases on the left and 5 cases on the right side each). AQLB was performed using 0.375% ropivacaine 30 ml: the injection point for subfascial group was located between the fascia of the QLM and the anterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia at the L 4 level, while the injection point for extrafascial group was located underneath the fascia of the PMM at the L 4 level. The blocked side of the body was divided into 15 regions using the anatomical landmarks on the body surface. The positive rates of skin sensory block and sensory disappearance of dermatomes in each region were assessed by cold stimulation at 40 min after block. The modified Bromage score was used to evaluate the lower limb motor block at 40 min after block and 1 h after surgery. Results:PartⅠ At the L 4 level, the overlapping of the bilateral QLM and PMM only occurred in 1 patient (1%), the overlapping only appearing on the left side occurred in 1 patient (1%), and the PMM and QLM in the remaining 98 patients (98%) were separated. Part Ⅱ The positive rates in 3, 5, 6 and 8 regions and the sensory disappearance rates of T 7 to T 12 dermatomes were significantly higher in subfascial group than in extrafascial group ( P<0.05). One patient in extrafascial group had a modified Bromage score of 1 on the block side at 40 min after block, and both groups scored 0 at the other time points. Conclusions:QLM and PMM are separated at the L 4 level in most patients. Subfascial AQLB is more effective than extrafascial AQLB in blocking the middle-lower region of the abdominal wall and has no motor block.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of three-dimensional amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI) and its combination with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating breast benign from malignant lesions.Methods:This was a prospective study. From July to December 2020, 226 patients with breast lesions confirmed by surgery or puncture pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected. All patients underwent MR T 1-weighted imaging, T 2-weighted imaging, DWI, APTWI, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and the magnetization transfer ratio asymmetry at an offset of 3.5 ppm [MTRasym(3.5 ppm)] were obtained from DWI and APTWI respectively. Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of DWI and APTWI parameters between breast benign and malignant lesions. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the differences of diagnostic efficacy between DWI, APTWI, and their combination. Results:There were 226 patients with 226 breast lesions, including 124 malignant and 102 benign lesions. The ADC values of patients with malignant breast lesions [1.03 (0.93, 1.13)×10 -3 mm 2/s] and MTRasym (3.5 ppm) [1.95% (1.10%, 2.88%)] were lower than those of benign breast lesions [1.38 (1.11, 1.55)×10 -3 mm 2/s, 3.30% (2.20%, 4.20%), respectively], and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-8.19, -6.51, P<0.05). The area under the ROC curves (AUC) of DWI, APTWI, and its combination in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions were 0.817, 0.752, and 0.868, respectively. The AUC of the combination of DWI and APTWI was higher than that of DWI and APTWI ( Z=4.00, 2.93, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the AUC between DWI and APTWI diagnoses ( Z=1.58, P>0.05). Taking 1.25×10 -3 mm 2/s as the optimal cut-off value for ADC values, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions were 94.4% (117/124), 62.7% (64/102), and 80.1% (181/226), respectively; Taking 2.70% as the optimal cut-off value for MTRasym (3.5 ppm), the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions were 73.4% (91/124), 64.7% (66/102), and 69.5% (157/226), respectively, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of DWI combined with APTWI in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions were 82.3% (102/124), 79.4% (81/102), and 81.0% (183/226), respectively. Conclusion:APTWI can be used for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions, and the combination of APTWI and DWI can obtain the better diagnostic performance than the single method.

Objective:To explore the application effect of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) on reducing the unplanned extubation rates in patients with neurosurgical catheterization.Methods:FMEA theory was used to analyze the causes of unplanned extubation in neurosurgical patients with catheterization. The Risk Priority Number (RPN) was calculated and the failure modes with higher RPN were selected. The causes were analyzed, and the improvement measures were formulated to optimize the nursing plan. A total of 585 patients admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were recruited as the FMEA group, the 631 patients admitted before FMEA application, from January 2016 to December 2017, were recruited as the control group. The control group was given routine nursing of Neurosurgery pipeline, and the FMEA group was given FMEA intervention on this basis. The difference of unplanned extubation rate between the two groups was compared.Results:The total incidence of unplanned extubation in FMEA group was 1.48% (21/1 417) , which was lower than 5.11% (72/1 408) in control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.001) . The unplanned extubation rates of gastric tube, urinary tube and operation related drainage tube in FMEA group were lower than in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of unplanned extubation of endotracheal intubation and deep vein catheterization between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The FMEA model can be effective in reducing the rate of unplanned extubation for patients in neurosurgery, which is worthy of clinical application.
