Objective:To investigate the effect of Caprini risk score-based care on the prevention of venous thromboembolism of patients with major orthopedic surgery.Methods:Totally 124 patients with major orthopedic surgery were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, each group contained 62 cases. The control group received routine thrombosis prevention nursing, patients in the experimental group carried out Caprini risk score-based intervention. The rate of VTE was compared between two groups, the levels of D-Dimer as well as thigh circumference was measured after 24 hours of admission, 3 days after surgery, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day. At discharge day, the inpatients satisfaction with nursing service scale was used to assessment the satisfaction with nursing service of inpatients.Results:The rate of VTE in the experimental group was 1.6% (1/62) and 6.5% (4/62) in the control group, the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2 value was 1.876, P=0.171). Three days after surgery, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day, the D-Dimer were (1.26±0.65) μg/ml, (1.27±0.35) μg/ml, (0.96±0.27) μg/ml in the experimental group, 5 days after surgery and at discharge day, the thigh circumference were (29.81±4.15) cm, (28.86±3.40) cm in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.64±0.58) μg/ml, (1.51±0.55) μg/ml, (1.25±0.44) μg/ml, (31.84±5.22) cm, (30.83±3.91) cm], the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.405-4.485, P<0.05). The health education and guidance, personality traits, service quality, discharge guidance scores and total satisfaction scores were 26.31±3.06, 35.73±3.64, 27.89±3.11, 8.47±1.18 and 111.08±6.33, significantly higher than those in the control group (24.15±2.31, 33.92±2.66, 26.27±3.41, 7.42±1.82 and 106.52±5.85), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.750-4.433, P<0.05).

Sepsis is an inflammatory disorder syndrome caused by the infection of pathogenic microorganisms, which organ dysfunction due to the dysregulated response of the body to the infection. Sepsis is a dangerous disease with a high fatality rate. The liver, an important organ involved in human biological transformation, energy metabolism, and cytokine production. Its role in sepsis is like a "double-edged sword" because the liver acts as not only an important defense line of the body against microorganisms but also a common target of inflammatory disorders and damage, making it one of the most vulnerable organs in sepsis. The liver contributes to pathogen clearance through immune responses, but the resulting inflammatory reactions can also lead to tissue and organ damage. Sepsis liver injury is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in sepsis patients, and preventing its occurrence and promoting early recovery can partially inhibit disease progression and reduce mortality rates. However, the pathogenesis of sepsis liver injury is not yet fully understood, and there is a lack of early and effective means of diagnosis and treatment. In-depth research on its pathogenesis will provide a better understanding of its occurrence and development, further supporting the theoretical basis for the treatment of sepsis liver injury and identifying some new targets for sepsis treatment, ultimately reducing the mortality of sepsis.

Objective To study the correlation between histology and serological index changes in the patients with HBeAg-neg-ative chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods 135 cases of HBeAg-negative CHB underwent the liver biopsy,HBV-DNA copy and de-tection of serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total bilirubin(TBiL),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),albumin(ALB),pro-thrombin activity(PTA),hyaluronic acid(HA)and laminin(LN).The relationship between the histopathological findings and the se-rological examination results were analyzed.Results There were statistically significant differences between serum HBV-DNA copy levels and the liver tissue inflammation grades(χ2 =23.64,P <0.05);serum ALT,TBiL,AST,ALB,PTA and HA concentrations in the high grade of inflammation were higher than those in the low grade of inflammation,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05);in which the concentrations of serum ALT,TBiL,AST and HA were positively correlated with the inflammation grades (P <0.05);while ALB and PTA and HA were negatively correlated with the inflammation grades(P <0.05).Conclusion The ser-um level of HBV-DNA copy,TbiL,ALT,AST,ALB and PTA concentrations are related with the inflammatory grade of liver tissue in the patients with HBeAg negative CHB,the serum HA level is related with the fibrosis level of liver tissue.These indicators could provide the reference value for judging the disease condition and prognosis of HBeAg negative CHB patients.

Aim To study the insulinotropic effects of Efaroxan and the underlying mechanism in rat βcells. Methods Pancreatic islets were isolated by college-nase p digestion.Radioimmunoassay was used to meas-ure insulin secretion and cAMP level in rat pancreatic islets.Results Efaroxan only potentiated insulin se-cretion at high glucose concentrations(8.3,1 1 .1 mmol ·L -1 )but not at low glucose concentrations.KU1 4R,an antagonist of Efaroxan,remarkably inhibited Efarox-an-potentiated insulin secretion;and similarly,KU1 4R significantly inhibited forskolin-induced and IBMX-in-duced insulin secretion.cAMP measurement showed that forskolin and IBMX significantly increased cAMP levels,but Efaroxan and KU1 4R had no effects on cAMP content in pancreatic islets.Conclusion The mechanism of Efaroxan-potentiated insulin secretion is related to downstream of cAMP signaling pathway, KU1 4R antagonized the downstream of cAMP signaling leading to its inhibitory effects on Efaroxan,forskolin and IBMX-induced insulin secretion.
