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 form an expert consensus addressing clinical issues regarding the use of parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors （DTIs） in special populations. METHODS Led by the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital（the Affiliated Hospital of UESTC）， a multidisciplinary working group was formed comprising experts from multiple fields， including clinical pharmacy， cardiac surgery， obstetrics， pediatrics and evidence-based medicine. Through literature review and the Delphi method， clinical questions regarding the efficacy and safety of parenteral DTIs used in special populations were identified. A structured design was adopted using the “Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome” （PICO） framework；systematic searches were conducted in CJFD， PubMed， Embase and other databases. Relevant evidence from randomized controlled trials，cohort studies and systematic reviews were included and synthesized. Evidence quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment，Development and Evaluation （GRADE） approach， and recommendations were formulated through three rounds of Delphi surveys and expert consensus meetings. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS Seven clinical questions were ultimately selected （with a consensus rate exceeding 90%）， resulting in the formulation of seven recommendations on the use of parenteral DTIs in special populations， including children， pregnant women， patients with hepatic or renal impairment， patients with mesenteric venous thrombosis， and individuals with thrombophilia. These recommendations clarify the preferred agents， dosing ranges， monitoring parameters， and safety management strategies for parenteral DTIs in these special populations. 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 special populations.

Objective To evaluate the value of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy. Methods Patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy were chosen from the SEER Research Plus Database [17 Registries, November 2012 Submission (2000-2019)]. The patients were divided into a PORT group and a non-PORT group according to whether the PORT was used. To balance baseline characteristics between non-PORT and PORT groups, R software was used to conduct a propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 1 : 1 and a matching tolerance of 0.01. Both the Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were conducted to evaluate the value of PORT in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Results In total, 2468 patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled, including 1078 males and 1390 females with a median age of 65 (58-71) years. There were 1336 patients in the PORT group, and 1132 patients in the non-PORT group. Cox regression analysis showed that PORT was not significantly associated with OS (multivariate analysis: HR=1.051, 95%CI 0.949-1.164, P=0.338) and DSS (multivariate analysis: HR=1.094, 95%CI 0.976-1.225, P=0.123). No statistical difference was found in the OS or DSS between non-PORT group and PORT group after PSM analysis (P＞0.05). Conclusion PORT does not have a survival benefit for patients with stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who received complete resection and chemotherapy.

Objective:To analyze the distribution characteristics of special types of diabetes in China, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of special types of diabetes.Methods:Pubmed, CNKI, and WanFang Data were searched for the case reports and clinical studies of special types of diabetes in China from 2011 to 2021. After independent literature screening by 2 researchers according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, diseases and the number of corresponding cases included were extracted for statistics. The etiological composition and disease characteristics of three subtypes of special type diabetes were analyzed.Results:A total of 613 articles(7 377 patients)were included and roughly divided into eight subtypes of special type diabetes according to etiological classification for disease composition analysis. The results by ratio in descending order were as follows: mono-genetic gene defects in islet β-cell function, pancreatogenic diabetes, diabetes induced by drugs or chemicals, endocrine disease, mono-genetic gene defects in insulin action, other genetic syndromes associated with diabetes, infection, and uncommon immune-mediated diabetes. The disease composition of the three subtypes of special types of diabetes that we focused on were mono-genetic gene defects in islet β-cell function(50.21%), pancreatogenic diabetes(35.65%), and mono-genetic gene defects in insulin action(1.56%). The composition analysis of the special types of diabetes in each subtype showed that neonatal diabetes mellitus(NDM, n=1 749, 23.71%)and maturity onset diabetes in young(MODY, n=1 554, 21.07%)accounted for the largest proportions. According to the composition analysis of each subtype of MODY patients, the top three subtypes were MODY2(50.89%), MODY3(16.03%), and MODYX(8.91%). In addition, taking MODY as an example, patients with de novo mutations(DNMs)and(or)new mutation sites were summarized and analyzed. The results revealed 31 MODY patients with DNMs(1.99%) and 339 MODY patients with new mutation sites(21.81%). Conclusions:According to the literature analysis, NDM and MODY represent the largest proportion of patients with special type diabetes in China. MODY2 patients make up the largest proportion of MODY patients. In addition, diabetic patients carrying DNMs and(or)new mutation sites should be taken seriously.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and risk factors of non-acute symptomatic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after endoscopic gastric variceal injection (GVI) in the treatment of liver cirrhosis with gastric variceal bleeding (GVB).Methods:66 patients with GVB who were treated with GVI for the first time from July 2017 to October 2019 in Minhang Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. The data of gender, age, preoperative Child-Pugh grade, preoperative platelet count, preoperative plasma D-dimer concentration, preoperative splenic length, preoperative portal vein velocity, preoperative splenic vein velocity, preoperative portal vein diameter, preoperative splenic vein diameter, treatment times, total number of injection points, total dose of sclerosing agent and tissue adhesive agent were collected. The patients were divided into PVT group and non-PVT group according to the occurrence of non-acute symptomatic PVT within one year after GVI. Univariate analysis was performed first, and then the factors with P<0.2 were included in the binary logistic regression model to screen the risk factors of PVT after GVI. Results:There were 25 cases (37.88%) in PVT group and 41 cases (62.12%) in non-PVT group. There were significant differences in D-dimer concentration, spleen length, Child-Pugh grade and total dose of sclerosing agent between the two groups ( P<0.05). The D-dimer concentration ( OR=2.319, 95% CI:1.359-3.956), spleen length ( OR=1.044, 95% CI:1.007-1.081) and total dose of sclerosing agent ( OR=1.075, 95% CI:1.004-1.152) were independent risk factors for PVT ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative D-dimer concentration, spleen length and total dose of sclerosing agent can predict the risk of PVT after GVI. In order to reduce the risk of PVT after GVI, the dose of sclerosing agent should be reduced as much as possible.

Objective To explore the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) revascularization degree on exercise tolerance in the patients with multivessel coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Ninety-three cases of coronary multivessel disease undergoing PCI revascularization and completing the cardiopulmonary exercise testing(CPET) were selected and divided into the complete revascularization group(CR group) and incomplete revascularization group(ICR group).The patients' general condition,co-existence diseases,medication,CHD and vessel lesion situation,echocardiography and CPET results at revascularization and within 1 week of CPET in the two groups were collected.Then the exercise tolerance was evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results The peak metabolic equivalent in the CR group and ICR group were 6.1(3.0-11.0) Mets and 6.3 (3.0-9.0) Mets;the VO2 at anaerobic threshold were 16.3(4.0-23.0) mL · kg-1 · min-1 and 15.9(4.0-26.0) mL · kg-1 · min-1,respectively;the peak VO2 were 21.1(13.0-35.0) mL · kg-1 · min-1 and 21.9(13.0-31.0) mL · kg-1 · min-1,respectively(P=0.919,0.350,0.991).Conclusion For the patients with multivessel CHD receiving ICR,their exercise tolerance is not inferior to those receiving CR.

Objective To establish and verify the fluctuation of reference intervals for biochestry parameters in routine physical exami-nation. Methods The results of biochemistry parameters,i.e., total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (T-Bil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (Glu), urea (Urea), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol ( TC) from 2 089 healthy subjects in routine physical examination during consecutive 2014, 2015 and 2016 were randomly collected, in which all the results were within the reference range. The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to those of 2014, and ratio (λ2) of the re-sults of 2016 to those of 2015 were calculated. λ1was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation of reference interval (CIλ). CIλ was verified by λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and the upper and low-er limits of CIλ. The CIpwas verified by the results of 2016. The ratios of CIpto the upper and lower limits of conventional reference in-terval were calculated. Results The values of CIλwere as follows: TP: 0.91 to 1.08, Alb: 0.91 to 1.08, T-Bil: 0.58 to 1.74, ALT:0.49 to 1.99, Glu: 0.84 to 1.20, Urea: 0.67 to 1.50, Cr: 0.82 to 1.22, UA: 0.77 to 1.32, TG: 0.51 to 1.98 and TC: 0.80 to 1.26. Compared with conventional reference interval, the ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was lessened. Conclusion The personal-ized reference interval (CIp) which may increase the sensitivity of conventional reference intervals was established and verified.

Objective To explore the risk factors for perioperative myocardial infarction(PMI) in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.Methods A total of 9285 inpatients aged 65 or above receiving nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery at Peking University People's Hospital from November 2012 to May 2016 were retrospectively recruited to our study.Patients who had suffered PMI were assigned to a myocardial infarction group(MI group)and others were allocated to a nonmyocardial infarction group(non-MI group).Clinical manifestations,comorbidities,preoperative laboratory test results,polypharmacy,characteristics of operation and anesthesia,and prognosis were analyzed and compared between the two groups.A multivariate logistic regression model was built to evaluate risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.Results PMI occurred in 12 patients(0.13％).Previous stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA) history (OR =159.254,P ＜ 0.001),cardiovascular heart disease (CHD) history (OR=33.645,P ＜0.001),and chronic kidney disease(CKD) (OR =19.393,P =0.003) were independent risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.PMI was associated with longer hospitalization[29 (15 59) days vs.9 (6-15) days,P ＜ 0.001] and higher mortality(58.3 ％).Conclusions Previous stroke or TIA history,CHD history,and CKD are independent risk factors for PMI in aged patients undergoing nonneurologic and noncardiac surgery.The incidence of PMI in patients with these risk factors is not high,but the mortality will be high and hospitalization will be prolonged once PMI occurs.Patients with these characteristics need more careful perioperative care.

Objective To establish and verify the personalized reference interval of blood cells.Methods The results of blood cells from 2 089 health subjects in 2014,2015 and 2016 were collected.The ratio of the later results to the previous results was defined as the fluctuation (λ).The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to the results of 2014 was calculated and λ1 was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation reference interval (CIλ).The ratio (λ2) of the results of 2016 to the results of 2015 was calculated.λ2 was used to verify λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and CIλ.CIp was verified by results of 2016.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was calculated.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of the reference interval (WS/T 405) was calculated.Results The values of CIλ were as follows:WBC (0.66 to 1.53),L(0.67 to 1.51),M (0.50 to 2.00),N(0.56 to 1.78),E(0.4 to 2.51),PLT(0.76 to 1.32),RBC(0.92 to 1.12),Hb(0.92 to 1.11),Hct(0.91 to 1.12),MCV(0.95 to 1.07),MCH(0.95 to 1.05)and MCHC(0.94 to 1.06).The validation tests of CIλ and CIp showed that both CIλ and CIp were suitable for this laboratory.Compared with the reference interval of professional criteria,the ratio of the upper and lower limits of the CIp was smaller than that of traditional criteria.Conclusion CIp for this laboratory was established and verified.Compared with traditional criteria,CIp should be more personalized and highly sensitive.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum LP ( a) and C-reactive protein ( CRP) in patients with ca-rotid atherosclerosis vulnerable plaque .Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with acute cerebral infarction coupled with carotid atherosclerosis were selected for the study , and they were divided into the vulnerable plaque group (90 cases) and the stable plaque group(38 cases) in accordance with the detection results from color Doppler ultrasonorgraphy .Then, the levels of LP(a) and CRP in the two groups were measured .Results The levels of LP(a) and CRP in the vulnerable plaque group were significantly higher than those in the stable plaque group , and statistical significance could be seen , when comparisons were made between the 2 groups ( P<0.01).Conclusion The higher levels of LP(a) and CRP might indicate that there was probably a transfer from the stable plaque to the vulnerable plaque .
