Objective:To analyze the risk factors of lower extremities deep vein thrombosis after thoracoscopic surgery in elderly patients with lung cancer, establish a nomogram prediction model and conduct internal verification.Methods:A total of 183 elderly patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection in Nanchong Central Hospital from February 2018 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects. According to the presence or absence of deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities within one month after operation, the patients were divided into lower extremities deep venous thrombosis group ( n=61) and non-deep lower extremities venous thrombosis group ( n=122) . Univariate and multivariate analyses of deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities after thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer in the elderly were performed, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed according to the multivariate analysis results, and the model was verified. Results:There were statistically significant differences in smoking history ( χ2=13.40, P<0.001) , preoperative chemotherapy ( χ2=8.79, P=0.003) , surgical method ( χ2=7.97, P=0.005) , operation time ( t=7.23, P<0.001) , postoperative bed rest time ( t=10.40, P<0.001) , combined with diabetes ( χ2=6.37, P=0.012) , combined with hyperlipidemia ( χ2=9.58, P=0.002) , preoperative D-dimer ( t=13.08, P<0.001) , preoperative fibrinogen ( t=5.84, P<0.001) and preoperative platelet count ( t=7.01, P<0.001) between the lower extremity deep venous thrombosis group and the non-lower extremity deep venous thrombosis group. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative chemotherapy ( OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.05-5.71, P=0.038) , surgical method ( OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.14-5.73, P=0.023) , postoperative bed rest time ( OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.24-1.81, P<0.001) , combined with diabetes ( OR=3.60, 95% CI: 1.05-12.33, P=0.042) , and preoperative D-dimer ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.01-1.01, P<0.001) were all independent risk factors for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. The C-index of nomogram for predicting lower extremity deep vein thrombosis-related factors was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.81-0.93) . The calibration curve showed that the model had a good correlation in predicting lower extremities deep venous thrombosis. Conclusion:Preoperative chemotherapy, surgical method, postoperative bed rest time, combined with diabetes, and postoperative D-dimer level are influence factors for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery. The nomogram prediction model established in this study has high accuracy and discrimination for the prediction of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in elderly patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic surgery.

Objective:To compare intact dissection and segmented dissection of cochlear surface preparation in adult mice.Methods:From February to March, 2019, Six adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: one group (3 mice) for the intact dissection while the other group (3 mice) for the segmented dissection. Cochlear hair cells were labeled with phalloidin for evaluation of the integrity of the basilar membrane.Results:The basilar membranes can be completely dissected from the cochlea by two approaches. The average dissection time is (16.33±1.86)min with the intact dissection approach while (23.66±3.88) min with the segmented dissection( t=-4.173, P=0.002). Immunofluorescence analysis showed all cochlear hair cells werevisible and intact in two groups. Conclusion:Cochlear basilar membrane can be dissected intact in a short time through both approaches. The approaches selection is dependent on the purpose of experiment and operators′ experience.
