Objective To investigate the prognostic value of thrombin-antithrombin III complex(TAT),plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex(PIC),thrombomodulin(TM)and tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex(t-PAIC)in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).Methods Selected 88 primary MDS patients diagnosed at the 521 Hospital of Ordnance Industry from January 2018 to January 2021.Plasma levels of TAT,PIC,TM,t-PAIC,fibrin degradation products(FDP)and D-dimer(D-D)were measured.A multivariate approach was used to analyze the association between overall survival(OS)and the levels of each coagulation marker.Coagulation markers significantly associated with OS were used to construct a coagulation prognostic scoring system.Based on the median coagulation marker score,MDS patients were divided into high and low score groups.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to plot survival curves.Results TAT(OR=1.667),PIC(OR=0.734),TM(OR=1.294)and t-PAIC(OR=1.523)were independent factors influencing OS in MDS patients(Wald χ2=0.671～10.751,all P<0.05).The β-values were integrated as statistical weights to construct a coagulation marker score,calculated as follows:[TAT]×0.502-[PIC]×1.013+[TM]×0.181+[t-PAIC]×0.381.The OS(median 14.6 months)and leukemia free survival(LFS)(median 10.3 months)of patients in the high coagulation marker score group were significantly lower than those in the low score group(33.6 months,35.2 months)(Log rank=20.57,26.84,all P<0.001).Subgroup analysis indicated that in both the low-risk IPSS-R subgroup(very low,low,and intermediate risk)and the high-risk IPSS-R subgroup(high and very high risk),the OS(Log rank=9.12,4.30)and LFS(Log rank=4.54,8.51)of the high coagulation marker score group were lower than those of the low score group(all P<0.05).Bivariate analysis showed a moderate correlation between the coagulation marker score and Revise International Prognostic Scoring System(IPSS-R)(PCC=0.536,P<0.001).Multivariate analysis indicated that IPSS-R and high coagulation marker scores were independent risk factors for OS and LFS in MDS patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The coagulation marker score,based on TAT,PIC,TM and t-PAIC,can serve as an independent prognostic factor for OS and LFS in MDS patients.

Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

Objective:To assess the prognostic impact of the thoracic aorta and aortic valve calcification volume (TAC, AVC) score based on CT measurementsin patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients who underwent TAVI for severe aortic stenosis from March 2018 to April 2022 at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital. The patients were stratified into low TAC and AVC group (TAC low, AVC low) and high TAC and AVC group (TAC high, AVC high) based on median TAC and AVC. The independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of TAVI patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression, and the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of TAVI were analyzed by survival curve. Results:A total of 102 patients were included with a median follow-up of 695 (602, 923) days, during which 9 (8.8%) all-cause deaths and 33 (32.4%) composite end-point events occurred. Univariate Cox risk regression analysis found that TAC was a risk factor for all-cause mortality events in TAVI patients ( P=0.039), TAC and AVC were risk factors for composite endpoint events in TAVI patients ( P=0.047, 0.035).TAC was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality after TAVI in multivariate analysis ( HR=8.971, 95% CI 1.121-71.790, P=0.039), and TAC and AVC were independent risk factors for composite endpoint events after TAVI ( HR=2.243, 95% CI 1.099-4.578, P=0.026; HR=2.346, 95% CI 1.146-4.804, P=0.020). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that high TAC and AVC scores increased the risk of end-point events ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CT-quantified TAC and AVC volume scores are independent prognostic markers in TAVI patients, with greater calcification burden portending poorer clinical outcomes.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Coding malignant tumors in multiple sites within the digestive system involves some coding rules.When more than two malignant tumors present various pathologic types,they should be included in the code of C97,which indicates multiple primary malignancies,and should be categorized into a specific code under the category of C97 upon corresponding treatment pur-poses.For those malignant tumors in the digestive system presenting with the same pathological results but unidentified primary sites,which are diagnosed as more than two types of tumors and recorded on the first page of a medical record,they are coded ac-cording to their specific locations.The coding principles are as followed:① If a malignant tumor spans two or more adjacent sites with an unidentified primary origin,it should be classified as a cross-site malignant tumor and coded based on the tumor's ana-tomical location.② If more than two malignant tumors are located in the separate parts of the same location,they should be co-ded with".9"as a subheading of the three-digit category specific to the right location.③If more than two malignant tumors are not adjacent to each other in the digestive system,they should be classified to the code of C26.9.In the process of coding,cod-ers should review case data thoroughly,enhance the accumulation of clinical knowledge,and strengthen communications with doc-tors,thereby enhancing coding precision.

Performance appraisal of public hospitals have given a guidance for the development of public hospitals at all levels.A Class A tertiary hospital reviewed the problems in the development of the hospital at the present stage and focused on the following four aspects:①insufficient fine management;②No clear orientation of discipline development;③The bottleneck of the improvement of medical operation efficiency;④New challenges in the reform of payment mode.The tertiary hospital launched a fine management practice in May 2022,in order to solve the problems by taking the Department of Surgery as a pilot area,laying the foundation for fine management through information system construction,improving the efficiency of medical operation through management process optimization,improving the overall competitiveness of disciplines through the construction of sub-specialty and Discipline Alliance and adjusting the performance appraisal index system to play the role of performance incentives.The measures effectively improve the overall capacity and efficiency of hospital medical services and help the hospital to achieve high-quality development.
