Objective:To investigate the characteristics and relationship between the location of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the site of pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients.Methods:The data of patients with lower extremity DVT diagnosed by ultrasound examination and pulmonary embolism diagnosed by CT pulmonary angiography from December 2017 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the location of lower extremity DVT, the patients were divided into mixed DVT, proximal DVT, and distal DVT which was further divided into anterior/posterior tibial vein or peroneal vein thrombosis and calf muscular venous thrombosis. Mixed DVT was referred to the presence of both proximal and distal DVT. According to the involved site of pulmonary artery, pulmonary embolism was divided into three types: main pulmonary artery, left or right pulmonary artery trunk embolism, lobar pulmonary artery embolism and segmental pulmonary artery embolism. The location of lower extremity DVT, the site of pulmonary embolism, the clinical manifestation (shortness of breath, chest tightness, chest pain, hemoptysis, cough, lower limb swelling, lower limb pain, syncope, fever) and risk factors (fracture/trauma, tumor, diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, infection, surgery, autoimmune diseases, paralysis, pregnancy) of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and the level of D-dimer were analyzed.Results:A total of 209 patients were enrolled finally, including 127 patients with left lower extremity DVT (60.8%) and 82 with right lower extremity DVT (39.2%). Mixed DVT accounted for 39.2%, proximal DVT accounted for 17.3%, and distal DVT accounted for 43.5% (anterior/posterior tibial vein and peroneal vein thrombosis accounted for 14.8%, calf muscular venous thrombosis accounted for 28.7%). The incidences of main pulmonary artery embolism, left or right pulmonary artery trunk embolism in the mixed DVT and proximal DVT were significantly higher than those in the anterior/posterior tibial vein or peroneal vein thrombosis and calf muscular venous thrombosis [41.5% (34/82), 38.8% (14/36) vs. 16.2% (5/31), 10.0% (6/60)], with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). The incidences of pulmonary segmental artery embolism in the anterior/posterior tibial vein or peroneal vein thrombosis were higher than those in the mixed DVT and proximal DVT [41.9% (13/31) vs. 26.8% (22/82), 30.6% (11/36)], but the difference was not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). The incidences of pulmonary segmental artery embolism in the calf muscular venous thrombosis were significantly higher than those in the mixed DVT and the proximal DVT [66.7% (40/60) vs. 26.8% (22/82), 30.6% (11/36)], and the difference was statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The levels of D-dimer in patients with calf muscular venous thrombosis combined with main pulmonary artery embolism, left or right pulmonary artery trunk embolism were significantly higher than those in patients with calf muscular venous thrombosis combined pulmonary segmental artery embolism (mg/L: 6.08±3.12 vs. 3.66±2.66, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in D-dimer levels in other patients with DVT combined with pulmonary embolism in different sites. In terms of the clinical manifestations of VTE, the incidences of lower limb swelling in the mixed DVT and proximal DVT were significantly higher than those in the anterior/posterior tibial vein or peroneal vein thrombosis and calf muscular venous thrombosis [54.9% (45/82), vs. 29.0% (9/31), 15.0% (9/60), both P < 0.05], the incidences of lower limb swelling in the proximal DVT were significantly higher than those in the calf muscular venous thrombosis [41.7% (15/63) vs. 15.0% (9/60), P < 0.05], there were no significant difference in the other clinical manifestations among the DVT groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of VTE risk factors among the groups. Conclusions:The DVT of inpatients mostly occurred in the left lower limb, and the incidence of distal DVT was higher than that of proximal DVT. Mixed DVT and proximal DVT combined with pulmonary embolism mostly occurred in the main pulmonary artery, left or right pulmonary artery trunk, while distal DVT combined with pulmonary embolism mostly occurred in the pulmonary segmental artery. The levels of D-dimer in patients with lower extremity DVT combined with main pulmonary artery or left and right pulmonary artery trunk embolism were higher than those in patients with pulmonary lobe and segmental artery embolism. The incidence of lower extremity swelling in patients with mixed DVT and proximal DVT was higher than that in patients with distal DVT.

Objective:To predict the efficacy of biliary drainage stenting (BDS) versus primary duct closure (PDC) alone after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE)using Bayesian network Meta analysis.Methods:Databases including PubMed, MedLine, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang were searched for literatures from January.1st 1990 to January. 31st 2020 with the key words of ( "Choledocholithiasis" OR "common bile duct stone" OR "CBDS" OR "extrahepatic bile duct stone" ) AND ( "laparoscopic common bile duct exploration" OR "LCBDE" ) AND ( "primary duct closure" or "PDC" ) AND ( "T-tube drainage" or "TTD" or "T-tube" ) AND ( "biliary drainage stenting or BDS" ) AND ( "clinical trials" ),胆总管结石,腹腔镜胆总管探查, T管引流,一期缝合,胆道内支架引流. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison of efficacy among BDS, PDC alone and T-tube drainage after LCBDE were received and included. BDS group included patients who underwent BDS after LCBDE, PDC group included patients who underwent PDC alone after LCBDE, and T-tube drainage group included patients who underwent T-tube drainage after LCBDE. The primary outcomes were the incidence of postoperative overall complications, bile leakage and residual stones. GeMTC software was used for Meta analysis in the Rstudio environment. This study was conducted using the random effects model in Bayesian network. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo was used for direct evaluation and indirect prediction. The Brooks-Gelman-Rubing graphing method, tracing method and density plotting were used to evaluate the model convergence. No closed loop formed between intervention measures, so there was no need to evaluate consistency. The matrix of rank probabilities in terms of the outcomes were also calculated.Results:(1) Document retrieval: a total of 12 available RCTs were enrolled. There were 982 patients, including 190 in the BDS group, 296 in the PDC group, and 496 in the T-tube drainage group. (2) Results of Bayesian network meta analysis. ① The BDS group and PDC group had lower overall complication rate than T-tube drainage group [ odds ratio ( OR)=0.21, 0.48, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.06-0.52, 0.24-0.87, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted overall complication rate between the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.12-1.30, P>0.05). ② The BDS group had lower incidence of postoperative bile leakage than T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.18, 95% CI: 0.02-0.86, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the PDC group and T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.27-1.70, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted incidence of postoperative bile leakage between the BDS group and T-tube drainage group ( OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.03-1.60, P>0.05). ③ T-tube drainage group had no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative residual stones compared with the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.58, 1.40, 95% CI: 0.13-2.40, 0.41-5.50, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the indirectly predicted incidence of postoperative residual stones between the BDS group and PDC group ( OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.05-2.70, P>0.05). (3) Ranking of the incidence of postoperative complication among the three groups: for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the first in the incidence of overall complication was 0.08%, 0.98%, 98.94%, the probability of ranking the second was 6.57%, 92.38%, 1.05%, and the probability of ranking the third was 93.36%, 6.64%, 0.01%, respectively, showing the ranking list as T-tube drainage group >PDC group >BDS group in the incidence of overall complication. The probability of ranking the first in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage was 1.25%, 18.93%, 79.82% for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the second was 6.11%, 74.01%, 19.88%, and the probability of ranking the third was 92.64%, 7.06%, 0.30%, respectively, showing the ranking list as T-tube drainage group >PDC group >BDS group in the incidence of postoperative bile leakage. The probability of ranking the first in the incidence of postoperative residual stones was 10.89%, 67.37%, 21.74% for the BDS group, PDC group, and T-tube drainage group, the probability of ranking the second was 16.09%, 21.09%, 62.82%, and the probability of ranking the third was 73.02%, 11.55%, 15.44%, respectively, showing the ranking list as PDC group >T-tube drainage group >BDS group in the incidence of postoperative residual stones. Conclusions:For patients with appropriate choledocholithiasis, BDS would be recommended first after LCBDE, which can reduce duct closure related complications.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) by using a Bayesian single-arm Meta-analysis.Methods:Databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang were searched from January 1, 1990 to December 30, 2021 on ELRA studies. The Bayesian one-arm Meta-analysis was performed by using the statistical software of R (V4.1.2) and the Markov chain-Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the posterior distribution. The mortality rate within 30 days after operation, 1-year survival rate, major postoperative complications, R 0 resection rate and other related indexes were analyzed. Results:A total of 20 studies with 436 patients were included. Bayesian single-arm Meta-analysis showed that the 1-year survival rate after ELRA was 83.24% [95% highest posterior density ( HPD): 72.40%-92.05%]. The 1-year survival rates after surgery were 88.66% (95% HPD: 81.52%-94.50%) for patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and 61.29% (95% HPD: 38.53%-93.68%) for patients with hepatic malignancies, respectively. The mortality rate within 30 d after surgery, the incidence of significant postoperative complications, and the R 0 resection rate were 6.96% (95% HPD: 4.47%-10.15%), 27.91% (95% HPD: 19.00%-38.30%), and 99.84% (95% HPD: 37.61%-100.00%), respectively. Renal failure was the most frequent cause of death after ELRA. Conclusion:ELRA is indicated for hepatic malignancies and hepatic alveolar echinococcosis when intrahepatic resection cannot be accomplished in vivo. The greatest benefit is observed in patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis, while only some patients with hepatic malignancies can benefit. The indications for ELRA for hepatic malignancies need to be further studied to define the subgroup of patients who can benefit from this operation.

OBJECTIVE： To establish the fingerprint of Mahai zhitan capsule， to determine the contents of main components， and to provide scientific basis for the stability and quality control of the preparation technology. METHODS： The determination was performed on Inertsil ODS-3 column with acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid as mobile phase （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 250 nm （0-23 min and 31-120 min） and 230 nm （23-31 min）. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃. HPLC fingerprint for 10 batches of Mahai zhitan capsule was established by using “similarity evaluation software for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional chinese medicine” （2012 edition） and the similarity was evaluated. The chromatographic peaks were assigned and identified with reference substance， negative samples without ingredient and substance control respectively， and the identified main components were quantitatively analyzed. RESULTS： The similarity of 10 batches of sample was more than 0.99； 20 common peaks were found， and 10 common peaks were identified. Among them， No. 1，13，14，15，16，17，18，19，20 chromatographic peaks originated from Rheum palmatum； No. 3，4，6，7 chromatographic peaks originated from processed Strychnos nuxvomica； No. 8 chromatographic peaks originated from Angelica sinensis； the corresponding source of medicinal materials was not found in No. 2，5，9，10，11，12 chromatographic peaks. By comparing the reference substances， No. 1，4，6，7，8，16，17，18，19 and 20 chromatographic peaks were identified as gallic acid， loganin acid， strychnine， brucine， ferulic acid， aloe-emodin， rhein， emodin， chrysophanol and emodin methyl ether， respectively. In the determination of identified five main components （loganin， strychnine， brucine， emodin and chrysophanol）， the methodological investigation met the relevant standards. In 10 batches of samples， the contents of loganin， strychnine， brucine， emodin and chrysophanol were 2.477 1-2.785 9， 1.746 1-1.946 0， 1.374 6-1.505 8， 1.573 2-1.824 1 and 0.232 1-0.261 7 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS： The established method is reliable， accurate， stable and simple， which could provide reference for the preparation technology and quality control of Mahai zhitan capsule.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the factors that influence self-management behavior in cancer patients based on the theoretical domain framework. METHODS: Studies in Chinese and English about factors influencing self-management behavior in cancer patients were searched from Wanfang database, CNKI, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane library and Medline from inception to June 2022. Two investigators independently identified, extracted data, and collected characteristics and methodology of the studies. Factors were analyzed with Nvivo12, and the theoretical domain framework was mapped to the theoretical domain. Then the secondary node was generalized by theme analysis. Finally, the specific influencing factors were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty-four studies were included for analysis. A total of 194 factors were mapped to 13 theoretical domains, and 31 secondary nodes were summarized. Theoretical domains environmental context and resources, social/professional role and identity, and beliefs about consequences were the most common factors. Knowledge, age, self-efficacy, disease stage, social support, gender, economic status and physical status were the most influential factors for self-management in cancer patients. CONCLUSIONS The influencing factors of self-management of cancer patients involve most of the theoretical domains, are intersectional, multi-source and complex.

OBJECTIVES: To develop a Chinese version of the Stress Adaption Scale (SAS) and to assess its reliability and validity among Chinese patients with multimorbidity. METHODS: The Brislin model was used to translate, synthesize, back-translate, and cross culturally adapt the SAS. A total of 323 multimorbidity patients selected by convenience sampling method from four hospitals in Zhejiang province. The critical ratio method, total question correlation method, and graded response model (item characteristic curve and item discrimination) were used for item analysis. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and split-half reliability were used for the reliability analysis. Content validity analysis, structural validity analysis, and criterion association validity analysis were performed by expert scoring method, confirmatory factor analysis, and Pearson correlation coefficient method, respectively. RESULTS: The Chinese version of the SAS contained 2 dimensions of resilience and thriving, with a total of 10 items. In the item analysis, the critical ratio method showed that the critical ratio of all items was greater than 3.0 (P<0.001); the correlation coefficient method showed that the Pearson correlation coefficients for all items exceeded 0.4 (P<0.01). The graded response model showed that items of the revised scale exhibited distinct item characteristic curves and all items had discrimination parameters exceeding 1.0. In the reliability analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the revised Chinese version of the SAS scale was 0.849, and the split-half reliability was 0.873. In the validity analysis, the item-level content validity index and scale-level content validity index both exceeded 0.80. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the revised two-factor model showed satisfactory fit indices (χ²/df=3.115, RMSEA=0.081, RMR=0.046, GFI=0.937, AGFI=0.898, CFI=0.936, TLI=0.915). In the criterion-related validity analysis, the Chinese version of the SAS score was negatively correlated with the Perceived Stress Scale and the Treatment Burden Questionnaire, with correlation coefficients of －0.592 and －0.482, respectively (both P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The Chinese version of the SAS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the stress adaption capacity among multimorbidity patients in China, and provides a reference for developing individualized health management measures.
