OBJECTIVE To form an expert consensus on the clinical application of parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors （DTIs） in patients during the perioperative period. METHODS Led by Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital （the Affiliated Hospital of UESTC）， a multidisciplinary working group was established. Through literature review and the Delphi method， clinical questions related to the rational perioperative use of parenteral DTIs were identified. A structured design was adopted using the “Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome” framework； systematic searches were conducted in CNKI， Medline， Embase and other databases. Relevant evidence from randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was included and synthesized. Evidence quality was assessed using the Grades of Recommendations Assessment，Development and Evaluation （GRADE） approach， and recommendations were formulated through multiple rounds of Delphi surveys and expert consensus meetings. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS Seven recommendations （each with an expert consensus rate exceeding 90%） on the use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative patients were developed. These recommendations specify drug selection， dosing ranges， key monitoring points， and safety management strategies for parenteral DTIs in various scenarios， including the perioperative period of ventricular assist device implantation， the perioperative period of cardiac surgery， perioperative patients with lower-extremity atherosclerotic disease， the perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome， the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting in patients with carotid stenosis， the perioperative period of patients with right heart thrombosis， and patients who develop related thrombosis and dysfunction after a central venous catheter insertion. In addition， warning and management pathways for perioperative bleeding and thrombotic events were proposed. This expert consensus， which is formulated based on the best available evidence， provides evidence-based guidance for standardized and individualized use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative period.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of centrifugal and membrane double plasma molecular adsorption systems (DPMAS) combined with low-dose plasma exchange in the treatment of liver failure. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 60 patients with liver failure treated in our hospital from April 2024 to June 2025. Based on different plasma separation methods, they were divided into the centrifugal DPMAS group (n=30) and the conventional membrane DPMAS group (n=30). The operational parameters, laboratory indicators, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: Under the same plasma volume for adsorption and exchange (P>0.05), the centrifugal group showed lower total circulating blood volume, total blood flow rate, and treatment duration compared to the membrane group [10 794 (9 532, 12 637) vs 19 000 (19 000, 21 000) mL, 60 (60, 65) vs 125 (120, 130) mL/min, 169 (141, 193) vs 207 (183, 210) min, P<0.001]. The centrifugal group also had a lower rate of central venous catheter use [(24/30, 80.00%) vs (30/30, 100.00%), P=0.024] and required more calcium supplementation due to sodium citrate anticoagulation [6 (6, 8) vs 2 (2, 2) g, P<0.001]. No significant changes were observed in WBC, Hb, HCT, and PLT levels before and after treatment with the centrifugal group (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in WBC levels before and after membrane group treatment (P=0.199), but the values of Hb, HCT, and PLT showed significant decreases post-treatment compared to pre-treatment [106.50 (102.75, 126.75) vs 123.00 (109.75, 132.00) g/L, 33.20 (29.90, 34.92) vs 34.85 (31.55, 37.52)%, 85.00 (43.25, 139.50) vs 93.00 (61.50, 145.00)×10 /L, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in coagulation function indexes before and after treatment with centrifugal group (P>0.05). The membrane group showed reduction in fibrinogen (Fib) levels post-treatment [1.50 (1.20, 1.60) vs 1.60 (1.25, 1.80) g/L, P=0.033]. Both groups demonstrated significant decreases in total bilirubin (TBil) and direct bilirubin (DBil) levels after treatment (centrifugal group: 194.70 (107.50, 276.00) vs 239.15 (173.00, 304.17) μmol/L, 101.00 (64.00, 182.30) vs 157.00 (101.00, 195.00) μmol/L; membrane group: 211.50 (118.00, 240.00) vs 263.50 (204.75, 314.00) μmol/L, 188.00 (122.75, 232.25) vs 219.00 (178.50, 267.25) μmol/L, P<0.05]. The incidence of catheter-related complications was lower in the centrifugal group [(2/30, 6.67%) vs (8/30, 26.67%), P=0.038]. Conclusion: The centrifugal DPMAS system demonstrates advantages such as lower blood flow velocity requirements, shorter treatment duration, minimal impact on platelets, and reduced adverse event rates, indicating promising clinical applications.

Objective To analyze the trends in disease burden and risk factors of depression among the elderly population in China from 1990 to 2021,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention,treatment,and policy-making of geriatric depression in China.Methods Data on the disease burden of geriatric depres-sion in China from 1990 to 2021,including the number of incident cases,disability-adjusted life years(DALYs),incidence rate,and DALY rate,were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease(GBD)database.The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trends by calculating the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC).The autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model was employed to predict the disease burden of geriatric depression over the next five years.Population attributable fractions(PAFs)were used to describe the risk factors for geriatric depression in China in 1990 and 2021.Results From 1990 to 2021,the number of incident cases and the incidence rate of geri-atric depression in China showed an overall upward trend.The most significant increase in incidence was ob-served in the 60-64 age group,while the prevalence rate increased notably in the ≥ 95 age group.The DALY rate showed the most pronounced upward trend in the 65-69 age group.The incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression were higher in women than in men.Major risk factors included child-hood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence,with the impact of intimate partner violence being particular-ly significant among women.The ARIMA model predicted that the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression in China would decline over the next five years,with a greater decline observed in women than in men.Conclusions From 1990 to 2021,the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric de-pression in China showed an overall upward trend,with higher rates observed in women than in men.Greater attention should be paid to the elderly female population,with a focus on early prevention to reduce the dis-ease burden of geriatric depression.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the V-shaped bone tunnel technique at the base of the distal phalanx for treating tendinous mallet finger.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients with tendinous mallet finger treated in the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery at Linyi People’s Hospital between August 2022 and November 2023. Two oblique bone tunnels were created in a V-shaped configuration at the dorsal base of the distal phalanx, adjacent to the extensor tendon insertion, using a 0.8 mm Kirschner wire. A 4-0 double-needle monofilament tendon suture was passed through the tunnels to secure the ruptured extensor tendon to the base of the distal phalanx, followed by fixation of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint with a 1.0 mm Kirschner wire. The Kirschner wire was removed at 4 weeks postoperatively to initiate functional exercises. Regular follow-up was conducted to monitor wound healing and functional recovery of the DIP joint. At the final follow-up, the range of flexion and extension of the DIP joint was measured, and treatment outcomes were evaluated using Crawford’s mallet finger evaluation criteria, which classified results into four grades: excellent, good, fair, and poor.Results:Fifteen patients (16 fingers) were included, comprising 11 males and 4 females, with a mean age of 44.5 years (range: 17-65 years). The injured fingers included 2 index, 4 middle, 5 ring, and 5 little fingers, all presenting with DIP joint flexion deformity and limited active extension. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 6 to 28 months (mean: 17 months). All wounds healed primarily without complications such as infection or skin necrosis, and no cases of tendon re-rupture occurred. At the final follow-up, the measurement results of flexion and extension range of motion of the affected fingers at the DIP joint were as follows: the maximum flexion angle of all 16 fingers was 45°, among which 7 fingers had an extension angle of 0°, 8 fingers had limited extension ranging from 1° to 10°, and 1 finger had limited extension of 15°. Among the 16 fingers, 7 fingers were rated as excellent, 8 fingers as good and 1 finger as fair.Conclusion:The V-shaped bone tunnel technique for tendon-to-bone reattachment of the extensor tendon insertion is a simple and effective method for treating tendinous mallet finger. It provides satisfactory functional recovery, improves finger appearance, and is associated with minimal complications.

Objective To compare and analyze the application effects of ciprofol+remifentanil and remazolam+remifentanil in painless gastrointestinal gastroscopy in elderly overweight patients.Methods The subjects of this study,122 elderly overweight patients for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy from October 2023 to October 2024,were randomly divided into H group and R group,each with 61 cases.At the same time,122 elderly patients with normal body weight who planned to undergo painless gastrointestinal endoscopy during the same period were randomly divided into H1 group and R1 group,61 cases in each group.All subjects received a slow intravenous injection of remifentanil at a dose of 0.5 μg/kg,30 s later Group H and H1 group were administered with a slow intravenous injection of ciprofol at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg,while Group R and R1 group were given a slow intravenous injection of remazolam at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg.Anesthesia effect and perioperative indicators(examination time,induction time,etc.),and the hemodynamic parameters[mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation(SpO2)]were compared of the four groups immediately after the establishment of electrocardiogram monitoring(T0),upon completion of anesthesia induction(T1),when gastroscopy passed through the throat(T2),when enteroscopy passed through the hepatic flexure(T3),and immediately after completion of surgery(T4),as well as adverse reactions were compared of the four groups.Results Excellent anesthesia rate:group H and H1 group were higher than group R(96.72%,98.36%vs.86.89%,P<0.05).Induction time:no difference was found of the four groups(P>0.05).Examination time:group H and group R were significantly longer than that in group H1 and group R1(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between group H and group R,and between group H1 and group R1(P>0.05).The time of awakening and moving out of postanesthesia care unit(PACU):group H,group R,group H1 and group R1 gradually decreased,and the differences between each two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in MAP and HR of the four groups,time and interaction effects(P<0.05).The difference of SpO2 of the four groups was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the difference of time and interaction effect was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Incidence of injection pain:group H and group H1 were lower than group R and group R1(P<0.05).Incidence of other adverse reactions:no significant difference of four groups(P>0.05).Conclusion During painless gastrointestinal endoscopy of elderly overweight patients the application of ciprofol+remifentanil can achieve better anesthetic effect and lower incidence of injection pain as compared with remazolam+remifentanil.The anesthetic effect of the two anesthesia regimens is similar in elderly normal weight patients,but the elderly normal weight patients have a faster recovery from anesthesia than the elderly overweight patients.

Objective To evaluate the influence of precision symptom management based on Internet plus on patients with corneal ulcer.Methods An intervention team was set up to build an Internet+precise symptom management plan for corneal ulcer patients,and the research involved 120 patients with corneal ulcers in a tertiary A hospital in Chongqing from July to December 2023.The patients were divided into an intervention group(n=60)and a control group(n=60)according to the random number table generated by SPSS.Symptom assessment questionnaires were completed once a day during hospitalization and twice a week after discharge,and visual acuity,quality of life,and self-efficacy were assessed on the day of admission and 4 weeks after discharge.Results A total of 112 patients completed the study.The data of 54 cases in the intervention group and 58 cases in the control group were statistically analyzed.During hospitalization and within 4 weeks after discharge,the reported symptom threshold events in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group(P=0.031,P=0.027),and the visual acuity,quality of life,and self-efficacy of the intervention group patients were better than those of the control group patients at the end of the 4th week,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Symptom management program based on internet plus can alleviate patients'symptom experience,improve patients'visual acuity,quality of life and self-efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of enteric-coated metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?)in patients with T2DM and poor glycemic control under lifestyle interventions.Methods In this study,419 patients with T2DM were recruited from 15 research centers from July 2020 to March 2022,and randomly divided into observation(Obs)group(n=209)and control group(Con,n=210)using a multicenter,randomized,double-blind,non-inferiority trial design.Patients in the Obs group were treated with enteric-coated Metformin hydrochloride capsules(Junlida?),and patients in the Con group were treated with Metformin hydrochloride tablets(Glucophage?).The optimal effective dose of 2 g/d was achieved within 4 weeks,and the reasonable dose was maintained until the end of treatment.The treatment period was 24 weeks.HbA1c and its compliance rate,FPG,and body weight were compared between the two groups in full analysis set(FAS)and protocol set(PPS).Safety and adverse events(AE)were evaluated in safety set(SS).Results A total of 414 participants were randomized(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).414 cases in FAS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group),and 328 cases in PPS population(164 cases in Obs group and 164 cases in Con group),and 414 cases in SS population(207 cases in Obs group and 207 cases in Con group).After treatment,HbA1c,FPG and body weight were lower in both groups(P<0.05)in FAS and PPS.HbA1c compliance rate was not significantly different between the two groups in FAS and PPS(P>0.05).The results of non-inferiority test showed that the lower limit was>-0.4%in both FAS(-0.154,95%CI-0.384～0.069)and PPS(-0.139,95%CI-0.390～0.112),and the Obs group reached non-inferiority end point.The achievement rate,compliance rate,safety index and incidence of AE were not significantly different between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Junlida? demonstrated non-inferiority to Glucophage? in glycemic control and can be safely and effectively used in patients with diabetes.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To explore the relationship between spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 3(SKA3), dual-specificity phosphatase 26(DUSP26), and prognosis in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on case samples from elderly patients with NSCLC at Xinxiang Central Hospital between January 2020 and May 2023.During surgery, specimens of cancerous and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were collected.The expressions of SKA3 and DUSP26 in these tissues were assessed using immunohistochemistry, and their correlations with clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.The relationship between SKA3 and DUSP26 in cancer tissues was examined using the Spearman correlation coefficient.After one year of follow-up, the association between SKA3 and DUSP26 expressions in cancer tissues and patient prognosis was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves, and prognostic factors were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model.Results:In this cohort of 145 elderly patients aged 65 to 85 years(mean age: 72.61±3.87), including 91 males, we observed that the positive expression rates of SKA3 and DUSP26 in cancer tissues were 66.21%(96/145)and 71.03%(103/145), respectively.These rates were significantly higher than those found in para-carcinoma tissues, which were 16.55%(24/145)and 13.79%(20/145), with a P-value of <0.05.Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between SKA3 and DUSP26 expression in cancer tissues( r=0.571, P<0.001).Moreover, the proportions of low differentiation, clinical staging at stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and lymph node metastasis were significantly higher in the SKA3-positive group compared to the SKA3-negative group( P<0.05), and similarly, these proportions were higher in the DUSP26-positive group than in the DUSP26-negative group( P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that after one year of follow-up, the cumulative survival rates for patients with positive expressions of SKA3 and DUSP26 were 61.46%(59/96)and 58.25%(60/103), respectively, which were significantly lower than those with negative expressions[87.76%(43/49)and 92.86%(39/42), P<0.05].Cox regression analysis identified low differentiation( HR=1.817, 95% CI: 1.294-2.550), clinical staging at stage Ⅲ( HR=1.939, 95% CI: 1.315-2.858), lymph node metastasis( HR=1.898, 95% CI: 1.350-2.670), as well as positive expressions of SKA3( HR=2.071, 95% CI: 1.317-3.257)and DUSP26( HR=2.136, 95% CI: 1.402-3.256)as significant risk factors for prognosis( P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression rates of SKA3 and DUSP26 in cancer tissues are significantly elevated in elderly patients with NSCLC.Furthermore, these two biomarkers are correlated with the degree of differentiation, clinical staging, and lymph node metastasis, indicating their potential utility in evaluating the prognosis of elderly NSCLC patients.
