Objective:To explore the risk factors of catheter-related thrombosis(CRT)in femoral vein indwelling catheter for patients undergoing artificial liver therapy.Methods:The clinical data 1 060 patients who received non biological artificial liver therapy with femoral vein catheterization at the Artificial Liver Center of the First Affiliated Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 26,2019 to March 30,2022 were retrospectively analyzed. During the treatment,CRT occurred in femoral vein indwelling catheter in 574 cases(54.2%,CRT group)and did not occurred in remaining 486 cases(non-CRT group). The influencing factors of CRT were analyzed with multiple Logistic regression.Results:Univariate analysis showed that gender,D-dimer before and after catheterization,international normalized ratio(INR),total bilirubin,catheterization location,and catheter retention time were significantly associated with the occurrence of CRT(all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that male gender( OR=1.627,95% CI 1.233-2.148, P<0.001),right femoral vein catheterization( OR=2.101,95% CI 1.130-3.908, P=0.019),catheter retention time( OR=1.039,95% CI 1.003-1.077, P=0.035),D-dimer >500 μg/L FEU after catheterization( OR=1.697,95% CI 1.191-2.416, P=0.003)and INR≥1.5( OR=1.343,95% CI 1.001-1.801, P=0.049)were independent risk factors for CRT in femoral vein indwelling catheter for artificial liver therapy. Conclusion:The incidence of CRT is high in patients undergoing artificial liver therapy with femoral vein catheterization. In clinical practice,medical staff should early identify high-risk populations for CRT and take timely preventive measures.

China has the third largest number of tuberculosis cases in the world. As the population ages,there are increasing challenges related to tuberculosis in the elderly. The declined immune function,the endogenous resurgence and exogenous reinfection of tuberculosis,malnutrition and other factors directly affect the prognosis of the disease in elderly patients,among which malnutrition is particularly important. Tuberculosis is a consumptive disease,and the progress of the disease aggravates the occurrence of malnutrition. Malnutrition and tuberculosis are reciprocal causation and react with each other. This article reviews the nutritional status of elderly tuberculosis patients,the significance and methods of nutritional assessment,its current application and limitations,to provide reference of clinical nutritional assessment for elderly tuberculosis patients.

The current epidemic situation of corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) still remained severe. As the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine is the primary medical care center for COVID-19 inZhejiang Province. Based on the present expert consensus carried out by National Health Commission and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our team summarized and established an effective treatment strategy centered on "Four-Anti and Two-Balance" for clinical practice. The "Four-Anti and Two-Balance"strategy included antivirus, anti-shock, anti-hyoxemia, anti-secondary infection, and maintaining of water, electrolyte and acid base balance and microecological balance. Meanwhile, integrated multidisciplinarypersonalized treatment was recommended to improve therapeutic effect. The importance of early viralogical detection, dynamic monitoring of inflammatory indexes and chest radiograph was emphasized in clinical decision-making. Sputum was observed with the highest positive rate of RT-PCR results. Viral nucleic acids could be detected in10% patients'blood samples at acute periodand 50% of patients had positive RT-PCR results in their feces. We also isolated alive viral strains from feces, indicating potential infectiousness of feces.Dynamic cytokine detection was necessary to timely identifyingcytokine storms and application of artificial liver blood purification system. The "Four-Anti and Two-Balance"strategyeffectively increased cure rate and reduced mortality. Early antiviral treatment could alleviate disease severity and prevent illness progression, and we found lopinavir/ritonavir combined with abidol showed antiviraleffects in COVID-19. Shock and hypoxemia were usually caused by cytokine storms. The artificial liver blood purification system could rapidly remove inflammatory mediators and block cytokine storm.Moreover, it also favoredthe balance of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base and thus improved treatment efficacy in critical illness. For cases of severe illness, early and also short periods of moderate glucocorticoid was supported. Patients with oxygenation index below 200 mmHg should be transferred to intensive medical center. Conservative oxygen therapy was preferred and noninvasive ventilation was not recommended. Patients with mechanical ventilation should be strictly supervised with cluster ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention strategies. Antimicrobial prophylaxis should be prescribed rationally and was not recommended except for patients with long course of disease, repeated fever and elevated procalcitonin (PCT), meanwhile secondary fungal infection should be concerned.Some patients with COVID-19 showed intestinal microbialdysbiosis with decreasedprobiotics such as and . Nutritional and gastrointestinal function should be assessed for all patients.Nutritional support and application of prebiotics or probiotics were suggested to regulate the balance of intestinal microbiota and reduce the risk of secondary infection due to bacterial translocation. Anxiety and fear were common in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, we established dynamic assessment and warning for psychological crisis. We also integrated Chinese medicine in treatment to promote disease rehabilitation through classification methods of traditional Chinese medicine. We optimized nursing process for severe patients to promote their rehabilitation. It remained unclear about viral clearance pattern after the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, two weeks' quarantine for discharged patients was required and a regular following up was also needed.The Zhejiang experience above and suggestions have been implemented in our center and achieved good results. However, since COVID-19 was a newly emerging disease, more work was warranted to improve strategies of prevention, diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19.
