Liposuction abdominoplasty is a prevalent procedure in plastic surgery, with common complications including infection and bleeding. However, cases leading to intestinal rupture accompanied by extensive abdominal wall infection are extremely infrequent. One such case was reported in this article. The patient was a 37-year-old female who developed symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever after undergoing liposuction abdominoplasty at another hospital. She was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University on October 27, 2023. CT scan revealed a right lower abdominal wall hernia, intestinal obstruction, and abdominal wall infection. Intra-operative exploration demonstrated that a portion of the ileum had herniated subcutaneously, with multiple small perforations. There was also widespread soft-tissue infection in the subcutaneous area, along with partial skin necrosis. Emergency surgery was performed to repair the ruptured intestine. Biological dressing were used to cover and protect the exposed intestinal wall and the defective abdominal wall. Multiple debridement procedures and vacuum sealing drainage were performed for the extensive subcutaneous soft-tissue infection. Bacterial culture of the drainage fluid indicated Escherichia coli infection, and imipenem-cilastatin was administered for anti-infective treatment. After the infection was controlled, the wound was repaired with local flaps and fascia lata. During the six-month follow-up after discharge, the patient’s general condition remained satisfactory, with normal dietary intake and a well-healed wound. This case report particularly highlights that for patients with a prior history of abdominal surgery should undergo preoperative abdominal CT and other relevant examinations before liposuction to exclude potential risk factors such as incisional hernias and ensure patient safety.

Objective To compare the efficacy and adherence of rivaroxaban versus low-molecular-weight heparin for prophylactic anticoagulation in cancer patients with venous thromboembolism(VTE).Methods A total of 120 intermediate-to-high VTE risk patients with malignant tumors admitted to Depart-ment of Hematology and Oncology,West China Longquan Hospital of Sichuan University between September 2021 and December 2022,were randomly assigned to the rivaroxaban group(n=60)and the low-molecular-weight heparin group(n=60)using the random number table.The rivaroxaban group received oral Rivaroxa-ban,while the low-molecular-weight heparin group received subcutaneous injections of low-molecular-weight heparin sodium for prophylactic anticoagulation.All patients were followed up for 180 days.The primary end-point was medication adherence.The secondary endpoints included the incidence of VTE,bleeding events,and changes in coagulation parameters.Results The rate of good medication adherence was significantly higher in the rivaroxaban group than in the low-molecular-weight heparin group(95.00％vs.88.33％,P＜0.05).However,there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of VTE or overall bleeding events between the two groups(P＜0.05).Following treatment,parameters including fibrinogen,prothrombin time(PT),and D-dimer levels showed significant improvement from baseline in both groups.Compared to the low-molecular-weight heparin group,the Rivaroxaban group demonstrated significantly higher fibrinogen levels,shorter PT,and lower D-dimer levels(P＜0.05).Stepwise logistic regression analysis identified the post-treatment platelet(PLT)count as a significant factor influencing bleeding events during prophylactic antico-agulation(P＜0.05).Khorana score≥3(high risk)was identified as a risk factor for bleeding events(P＜0.05).The incidence of clinically relevant non-major bleeding(CRNMB)was higher in the rivaroxaban group[11.67％(7/60)]compared to the low-molecular-weight heparin group[8.33％(5/60)],although the differ-ence was not statistically significant(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of bleeding-free events between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Oral ri-varoxaban and subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin demonstrate comparable efficacy and safety for VTE prevention in cancer patients,but rivaroxaban significantly improves patient's adherence.

This paper takes the teaching of pathogeny biology and clinical laboratory diagnostics for postgraduates in Shandong Second Medical University as examples. By constructing innovative thinking in scientific research, training research innovation skills, and establishing modular, multi-evaluation systems, a comprehensive training mode for scientific research and innovation ability of medical academic postgraduate students had been proposed, and the implementation and effects of this training mode were thoroughly explored. This mode is expected to bring a positive impact on the training of medical postgraduate students and improve their scientific research and innovation ability, thereby promoting the cultivation of more medical talents with a high degree of scientific research and innovation ability.

Currently, the teaching work for postgraduates mainly centers on specific disciplines, and there is a lack of effective connection between disciplines, which leads to the insufficient ability of postgraduates in effectively integrating and applying the knowledge of various disciplines and restricts the development of innovation ability. This paper proposes a program for the cultivation of innovation ability of postgraduate students in clinical laboratory diagnostics based on multi-disciplinary integration from the three aspects of curriculum setting, multi-disciplinary interactive platform construction, and tutor team construction, aiming at helping postgraduate students to enhance the ability of knowledge integration and application and form a comprehensive disciplinary perspective. Additionally, the paper explores the practical application and effect of the cultivation program, offering novel insights and approaches for talent cultivation in the realm of clinical laboratory diagnostics.
