Objective: To analyze the current status of anticoagulant therapy for in-hospital patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) at county hospitals of China and to explore the relationship between anticoagulant therapy and clinical outcomes in real medical environment. Methods: 99 county hospitals from15 provinces of China were selected for this prospective registry study and 12373 eligible ACS patients without interventional therapy admitted from 2011-09 to 2014-06 were enrolled. The basic condition, previous history, initial assessment, anticoagulants (unfractionated heparin/low molecular weight heparin) application, severe bleeding events and in-hospital mortality were collected in all patients. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between anticoagulant therapy and clinical outcomes including in-hospital mortality, severe bleeding events and combined endpoints; meanwhile, possible confounders were adjusted. Results: A total of 9985/12373 ACS patients received anticoagulant therapy and 2388 did not. Anticoagulant therapy was conducted in 92.7% (4237/4570) patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 90.8% (1639/1805) with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 68.5% (4109/5998) with unstable angina (UA); there were differences by regions and genders,P<0.01and no difference by age. Multivariable analysis indicated that anticoagulant therapy decreased the risk of in-hospital mortality in ACS patients at 53% (OR= 0.47, 95% CI 0.36-0.62), such reduction in STEMI patients was at 55% (OR=0.45, 95% CI 0.32-0.64), in NSTEMI patients was at 58% (OR=0.42, 95% CI 0.24-0.75); while it had no real effect in UA patients,P>0.05. Meanwhile, it did not increase the risk of severe bleeding events in ACS patients,P>0.05. Conclusion: Anticoagulant therapy has been widely used in STEMI and NSTEMI patients at county hospitals of China and obviously decreased the in-hospital mortality; while the application rate was relatively low in UA patients. The general safety of anticoagulant therapy has been good in ACS patients.

Cases of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid and antibody (IgM and IgG total antibody) after discharge from a hospital in Chongqing were continuously monitored. It was found that 5 cases of "re-positive" phenomenon, 5 cases of antibody were positive, and there was a trend of increasing with time. "Re-Positive" may be related to the following three factors. Children with asymptomatic infection had a long time of fecal detoxification.There were two consecutive nucleic acid tests "false negative" caused by various reasons.The virus clearance in patients was not complete, and the discharge standard was not conservative enough. The analysis of the causes of "Re-Positive" patients and the discussion of its infection will help us reveal more characteristics of this virus, and to provide a new basis for the discharge standard in the constantly updated diagnosis and treatment programme.

Objective:To investigate the value of modified early warning score (MEWS) combined with D-dimer test in the establishment of an acute pancreatitis severity evaluation model.Methods:The clinical data of 357 patients with acute pancreatitis who received treatment in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, China between January 2017 and December 2018 were collected for this study. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of MEWS combined with D-dimer test for predicting non-mild acute pancreatitis. The relationship between MEWS and D-dimer level was analyzed using regression analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the ability of each factor to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis. The sensitivity and specificity of the new model to predict non-mild acute pancreatitis were calculated.Results:According to the receiver operating characteristic curve, the AUC of D-dimer, MEWS, and new model were 0.702, 0.628 and 0.734 respectively ( P < 0.05). The AUC of the new model in predicting non-mild acute pancreatitis was significantly higher than that of MEWS and D-dimer test (0.734 > 0.702 > 0.628, Z = 3.20, P < 0.01). Conclusion:The ability of the new model established based on MEWS and D-dimer to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis is stronger than that of each of MEWS and D-dimer. The new model is simple, convenient and more suitable for clinical use.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of internal fixation with a reduction plate assisted by our self-designed lower extremity fracture traction reduction device for tibial plateau fractures of Schatzker type Ⅵ.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 32 patients with tibial plateau fracture of Schatzker type Ⅵ who had been treated at Orthopaedic Department, Mindong Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from April 2018 to July 2021. Depending on their treatments, they were divided into 2 groups. In the control group of 16 cases subjected to open reduction and internal fixation with manual traction, there were 9 males and 7 females with an age of 50.0±11.7 years; in the observation group of 16 cases subjected to internal fixation with a reduction plate assisted by our self-designed lower extremity fracture traction reduction device, there were 8 males and 8 females with an age of 54.6±11.1 years. The operation time, fracture reduction time, total incision length, intraoperative blood loss, Rasmussen knee function score and maximum active range of knee motion were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability between the groups ( P>0.05). The operation time [(158.6±26.0) min], fracture reduction time [(61.6±9.6) min], and total incision length [16.0 (13.3, 17.0) cm] in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(199.9±60.9) min, (73.8±17.2) min, and 20.0 (17.0, 21.8) cm]; the intraoperative blood loss [175.0 (100.0, 200.0) mL] in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group [200.0 (162.5, 387.5) mL]; the maximum active ranges of knee motion at one week and one month in the observation group were 94.9°±12.0° and 113.8°±14.1°, significantly larger than those in the control group (78.3°±14.6° and 96.8°±11.4°) (all P<0.05). Fractures achieved bony union at one year after operation in both groups. At 12 months after operation, there was no significant difference in the maximum active range of knee motion or the Rasmussen knee function score between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅵ tibial plateau fractures, compared with manual traction and open reduction, internal fixation with a reduction plate assisted by our self-designed lower extremity fracture traction reduction device can shorten operation time and total incision length, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and facilitate postoperative functional recovery of the knee for the patients.
