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.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

The minor purchasing process and mode of some hospital were introduced,and the implementation of the hospital's minor purchasing projects in the past year was analyzed.The causes for high failure rate of purchasing were pointed out including long interval between project creation and procurement,unreasonable demand presentation,insufficient demand demonstration and lack of active participation of suppliers.Some suggestions were put forward such as timely adjustment of demands,strengthening of demand demonstration,improvement of supplier motivation and enhancement of procurement process management,which were of great significance for increasing the success rate of minor purchasing of the hospital.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(8):91-95]

Stress refers to the non-specific responses of a stimulated body to different stressors and the subsequent maintenance or restoration of internal environmental homeostasis.Adverse stress reactions lead to general balance disruption and may cause digestive,neurological,and endocrine disorders,and decreased immune capacity,which seriously impact host health.As the core compo-nent of intestinal micro-ecology,the intestinal flora can greatly alter its own composition,distribu-tion,function,metabolic product output,and other aspects during stress,which cause disorders and aggravate homeostatic imbalance in internal environments.While the intestinal flora is of great sig-nificance to animal medicine and agricultural production,little is known about stress and its impact on intestinal flora.Therefore,we briefly reviewed the impact of stress on animal intestinal flora in combination with the latest research and provided theoretical insights on intestinal health research.

Background and purpose:According to the latest data from the National Cancer Center,the incidence rate and mortality of lung cancer in China rank first among all malignant tumors,and 85%are non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).In recent years,immunotherapy based on programmed cell death protein-1(PD-1)/programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1)immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)has made breakthrough progress in lung cancer,bringing more survival benefits to lung cancer patients.This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of three major PD-L1 testing assays in guiding immunotherapy for patients with NSCLC,and to provide empirical evidence to guide the selection of cost-effective diagnosis and ICIs monotherapy regimens for NSCLC patients in China.Methods:From a healthcare system perspective,a decision-tree model was constructed to simulate the cost and effectiveness(percentage of the patients who were successfully diagnosed and who were correctly prescribed and underwent correct treatment according to China treatment guidelines)of employing Ventana PD-L1 IHC(SP263)assay,PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx,and Dako 22C3 antibody concentrate in early to mid-stage and advanced NSCLC patients in China,respectively.The cost-effectiveness of SP263 assay compared to other testing methods was assessed through the incremental analysis.The robustness of the base case analysis results was validated by using one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis.Results:When considering atezolizumab monotherapy following chemotherapy for early to mid-stage(Ⅱ A-Ⅲ B)NSCLC patients,in comparison to the 22C3 assay or 22C3 antibody concentrate,the SP263 assay incurred an additional cost of 9 449 yuan per successfully diagnosed and treated patient.The SP263 assay,which can guide multiple ICIs monotherapies(e.g.,atezolizumab,pembrolizumab)for advanced(Ⅳ)NSCLC patients,was dominant by achieving a higher percentage of successfully diagnosed and treated patients at a lower cost compared to Dako 22C3 assay and Dako 22C3 antibody concentrate.One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis both confirmed the robustness of the results.Conclusion:The Ventana PD-L1 IHC SP263 assay was cost-effective,compared to Dako PD-L1 IHC 22C3 assay and Dako 22C3 antibody concentrate for the immunotherapy treatment for both stage Ⅱ A-Ⅲ B and stage Ⅳ NSCLC patients in China.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of the artery-first approach pancreaticoduo-denectomy (PD) combined with portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) resection and reconstruction for pancreatic head malignancies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 322 patients who underwent PD with PV/SMV resection and reconstruction at the Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery Department of the First Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University between January 2016 and December 2022. Patients were divided into the artery-first approach PD group (AFA-PD group, n=165) and standard PD group (SPD group, n=157) based on surgical approach. Baseline characteristics, surgical outcomes, postoperative outcomes, pathological results and survival data were compared between two groups. Results:Compared to the SPD group, the AFA-PD group exhibited significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss (500 ml vs 600 ml), lower rates of obvious intraoperative blood loss (≥1 000 ml: 25.45% vs 40.13%), and decreased transfusion requirements (26.67% vs 52.87%). Postoperatively, the AFA-PD group demonstrated lower incidence of grade B/C pancreatic fistula (10.30% vs 19.75%) and higher textbook outcome achievement (78.79% vs 66.24%). Pathologically, the AFA-PD group achieved superior lymph node yield (20 nodes vs 18 nodes) and higher R 0 resection rates (79.39% vs 64.33%), particularly at the posterior pancreatic margin (96.97% vs 91.72%, P=0.040), SMA margin (92.07% vs 82.17%), and SMV margin (88.48% vs 78.98%). Multivariate logistic regression identified arterial invasion >180°, venous invasion >180°, lymph node metastasis, and the artery-first approach as independent predictors of R 0 resection. The AFA-PD group showed prolonged median survival (19.17 month vs 15.73 month). All aforementioned differences were statistically significant (all P value <0.05). Conclusions:The artery-first approach PD combined with PV/SMV resection and reconstruction is safe and effective for pancreatic head malignancies, significantly improving R 0 resection rates and patients' survival outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for brain abscess.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 53 patients with brain abscess admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2024.Among them,29 cases underwent craniotomy for abscess resection(craniotomy group),while 24 cases received neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage(robot-assisted group).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,decompressive craniectomy rate,proportion of postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment,postoperative hospital stay,incidence of postoperative complications,mortality rate and Glasgow outcome scale(GOS)scores 6 months after surgery of patients were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the craniotomy group,the robot-assisted group demonstrated significantly shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and lower incidence of postoperative complication,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there were no statistically significant differences in terms of decompressive craniectomy rate,postoperative hospital stay,mortality rate,GOS score,or proportion of the postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion As a precise and minimally invasive surgical method,neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for patients with brain abscess can effectively improve the operational efficiency,shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative injury,and lower the risk of postoperative complications.It has high clinical application value and potential for widespread adoption.

Hypercholesterolemia is pathologically characterized by abnormal accumulation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,which is closely associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and increased cardiovascular risks.Hepatocytes maintain cholesterol homeostasis through LDL receptor-mediated uptake and esterification storage mechanisms.However,chronic cholesterol overload induces mitochondrial dysfunction,reactive oxygen species accumulation,and endoplasmic reticulum stress,leading to hepatocyte injury.Moreover,systemic hypercholesterolemia disrupts gut microbiota balance and impairs short-chain fatty acid and ketone metabolism,exacerbating metabolic disturbances and aggravating hepatic injury through enhanced metabolic stress.In this article,we review the advance of studies on hypercholesterolemia in recent years and summary its association with hepatic injury,which can provide theoretical support for further research.
