Objective:To systematically review thrombosis risk prediction models associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in adults and provide a basis for the clinical application of these models and the development of subsequent models.Methods:Databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ovid were searched to collect studies on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC, covering all entries from the inception of the databases until December 31, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias.Results:Nineteen studies were included. D-dimer was the most common predictive factor; only five studies underwent external validation, and six studies evaluated model calibration. All included studies exhibited high risk of bias, primarily due to methodological deficiencies in model development and validation processes; the combined area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for nine models was 0.80 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.75-0.85) .Conclusions:Research on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC is still in its developmental stage. Most of the known models perform well with comprehensive and easily obtainable predictive factors, yet they exhibit methodological shortcomings. Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality and external validation during model development and validation processes.

BACKGROUND: Reports on the prevalence of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) among Chinese patients with psoriasis are very limited. This study, conducted by rheumatologists, estimated the prevalence of PsA in a large number of Chinese patients with psoriasis. METHODS: Consecutive patients with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis attending nine dermatology clinics in five hospitals were recruited. All psoriasis patients were asked to complete a questionnaire comprising 16 questions to identify possible cases of PsA. All patients with one or more positive answers to the questionnaire were evaluated by two experienced rheumatologists. RESULTS: A total of 2434 psoriasis patients, including 1561 males and 873 females, were enrolled. Both the questionnaire and rheumatologists' examinations were completed in the dermatology clinics. The results identified 252 patients with PsA, comprising 168 males and 84 females. The overall prevalence of PsA among psoriasis patients was 10.4% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 9.1%-11.7%). By sex, the prevalence was 10.8% (95% CI, 9.2%-12.5%) for males and 9.6% (95% CI, 7.7%-11.9%) for females and there was no significant sex difference in the prevalence of PsA (P = 0.38). Of the 252 PsA patients, 125 (49.6%, 95% CI, 41.3%-59.1%) were newly diagnosed by rheumatologists. Consequently, the prevalence of undiagnosed PsA among psoriasis patients was 5.2% (95% CI, 4.4%-6.2%). CONCLUSION The prevalence of PsA in the Chinese population with psoriasis is about 10.4%, which is almost double that of previous reports in the Chinese population, but lower than that in Caucasians.

Objective:To study the clinical application of hanging moxibustion in intervention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity after intertrochanteric fracture of femur, in order to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of suspension moxibustion.Methods:By adopting a controlled clinical trial method, a total of 100 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who came to Keqiao District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province for orthopaedic surgery from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected by convenient sampling method and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing intervention, and the observation group was given the traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention of hanging moxibustion on the basis of the control group. The changes of coagulation function indexes, hemorheology indexes, hemodynamics, the swelling degree score of the affected limb, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the affected limb pain in the two groups of patients with intertrochanteric fracture before and 14 days after the intervention, and the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the two groups after 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d of intervention were observed and recorded.Results:After 14 days of intervention, D-dimer, fibrinogen and prothrombin time in the observation group were (380.64 ± 41.78) μg/L, (4.51 ± 0.49) g/L and (10.46 ± 1.04) s, respectively, which were better than those in the control group (464.91 ± 46.81) μg/L, (4.82 ± 0.56) g/L and (12.85 ± 1.12) s with statistical difference ( t=9.50, 2.95, 11.06, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the whole blood low tangential viscosity, whole blood high tangential viscosity and plasma viscosity in the observation group were (8.34 ± 0.42), (3.72 ± 0.28) and (1.21 ± 0.18) mPa/s, respectively, which were significantly lower than (8.90 ± 0.46), (4.13 ± 0.26) and (1.53 ± 0.22) mPa/s in the control group ( t=6.36, 7.59, 7.96, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the postoperative blood flow, maximum blood flow velocity and average blood flow velocity in the observation group were (1.89 ± 0.26) L/min, (31.57 ± 3.29) cm/s, (34.41 ± 3.62) cm/s, which were significantly higher than (1.45 ± 0.21) L/min, (24.18 ± 2.85) cm/s, (27.96 ± 3.15) cm/s in the control group ( t=9.31, 12.01, 9.50, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the total incidence of lower limb DVT in the observation group was 2.00%(1/50) , lower than 24.00%(12/50) in the control group, the difference between the two groups was significant ( χ2=10.70, P<0.05). Conclusions:Suspended moxibustion can significantly improve the coagulation function, hemorheology, hemodynamics, swelling and pain of the affected limb in patients with postoperative intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, and reduce the occurrence of DVT in the lower extremity. It is recommended to be widely used in clinical practice.

SARS-CoV-2 infection causes complicated clinical manifestations with variable multi-organ injuries, however, the underlying mechanism, in particular immune responses in different organs, remains elusive. In this study, comprehensive transcriptomic alterations of 14 tissues from rhesus macaque infected with SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed. Compared to normal controls, SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in dysregulation of genes involving diverse functions in various examined tissues/organs, with drastic transcriptomic changes in cerebral cortex and right ventricle. Intriguingly, cerebral cortex exhibited a hyperinflammatory state evidenced by significant upregulation of inflammation response-related genes. Meanwhile, expressions of coagulation, angiogenesis and fibrosis factors were also up-regulated in cerebral cortex. Based on our findings, neuropilin 1 (NRP1), a receptor of SARS-CoV-2, was significantly elevated in cerebral cortex post infection, accompanied by active immune response releasing inflammatory factors and signal transmission among tissues, which enhanced infection of the central nervous system (CNS) in a positive feedback way, leading to viral encephalitis. Overall, our study depicts a multi-tissue/organ transcriptomic landscapes of rhesus macaque with early infection of SARS-CoV-2, and provides important insights into the mechanistic basis for COVID-19-associated clinical complications.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance profiles of Campylobacter spp. in Shanghai from 2013 to 2016. Methods: Stool samples collected from diarrhea outpatients were cultured for Campylobacter spp., using the membrane filter method in 23 hospitals under the sentinel programs, from 2013 to 2016. All the strains were identified by biochemical tests and PCR. Broth microdilution method was used to investigate the antibiotic resistance of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains that including azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid, telycin, klinthromycin and flurbenicol. Results: A total of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains were isolated from 10 444 stool samples (1.7%). Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli appeared as the predominant ones (94.4% and 5.6%). The incidence rate was higher in children than that in adults, with peaks of infections mainly from April to June and October to December. Campylobacter jejuni strains seemed highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (96.4%), tetracycline (83.4%) and nalidixic acid (81.7%). The resistant rates appeared higher on Campylobacter coli strains that isolated from patients. Some strains were resistant to multi-drugs. Conclusions Campylobacter spp. seemed one of the important pathogens that isolated from outpatients with diarrhea, in Shanghai. Both age and season related characteristics of Campylobacter spp. were seen. Campylobacter spp. isolated from patients was highly resistant to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and nalidixic acid.
