OBJECTIVE To establish a high-risk medication list and preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia, and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of this condition. METHODS By integrating domestic and international case reports, retrospective case-control studies, and spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting databases, 19 domestically marketed high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia were identified. Based on the clinical characteristics and mechanisms of these drugs, relevant risk factors were systematically reviewed, and existing treatment options were summarized, leading to the preliminary development of recommended preventive and therapeutic measures. A two-round Delphi consultation was conducted to evaluate, revise, and ultimately reach consensus on the preliminary findings, using a mean importance score of ≥3.5 points for indicators and a coefficient of variation <0.3 as screening criteria. RESULTS The coefficient of expert authority for both rounds of expert consultation was 0.904. In the first round, the Kendall coordination coefficients (Kendall’s W ) for the high-risk medication list and the proposed preventive and therapeutic measures were 0.390 and 0.223 ( P <0.05), respectively. In the second round, the Kendall’s W were 0.227 and 0.200 ( P <0.05), respectively. After two rounds of expert consultation and discussion, 11 high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia, represented by hemocoagulase and certain anti-infective agents, were ultimately identified, along with 5 preventive and therapeutic measures spanning the entire process of “pre-medication assessment, intra-medication monitoring, and bleeding event management”. CONCLUSIONS This study has established a scientific and reliable high-risk medication list, and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia, providing a theoretical basis and practical support for the early identification, stratified management, and precise intervention of this condition.

Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

Background and Aims:To overcome the limitations of the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach,such as restricted operative space and high complication risks,our team proposed a modified technique—endoscopic thyroidectomy via oral vestibule and submandibular approach(ETOSA).Preliminary studies have confirmed its safety and feasibility.This study aims to systematically evaluate the key factors affecting postoperative complications and operative time in ETOSA,explore the interactions among these variables,and construct a learning curve model to support its broader clinical adoption.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 125 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent ETOSA at Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,between March 2022 and March 2023.Clinical characteristics,surgical parameters,and postoperative complications were extracted.A random forest model was employed to identify the major influencing factors for complications and operative time,as well as their interaction effects.Partial dependence plots based on case sequence were used to generate the learning curve.Results:All 125 patients successfully underwent ETOSA with no conversion to open surgery.The median operative time was 95.0 min,and the median intraoperative blood loss was 15.0 mL.The overall postoperative complication rate was 16.0%,with no cases of permanent hypoparathyroidism or hypocalcemia.The average neck appearance score was 1.05,indicating high patient satisfaction.The random forest analysis identified case number,surgical extent,lymph node yield(LNY),Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT),and body mass index(BMI)as the key predictors of postoperative complications,while surgical extent,case number,LNY,HT,and blood loss were the key factors affecting operative time.A significant positive interaction was observed between case number and both surgical extent and HT,particularly in the first 20 cases,suggesting a higher risk during the early learning phase.The learning curve analysis indicated that surgical proficiency stabilized after 20 cases.Operative time and complication rate in the proficient phase were significantly lower than those in the learning phase(90.0 min vs.102.5 min;11.4%vs.40.0%,both P<0.05).Conclusion:ETOSA is a safe and feasible technique characterized by minimal invasiveness,favorable cosmetic outcomes,and a relatively short learning curve.case number,surgical extent,LNY,HT,BMI,and blood loss are key factors affecting complications and operation time.
