OBJECTIVE To construct and apply drug utilization evaluation (DUE) criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) based on the dual pathway inhibition (DPI) antithrombotic therapy scheme, to promote clinical rational drug use. METHODS Based on the instructions and relevant guidelines of low-dose rivaroxaban (2.5 mg, bid), the Delphi method was used to establish the DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban used in ASCVD. Weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was used to determine the relative weights of each evaluation index, and the rationality of the filing medical records of discharged patients using low-dose rivaroxaban for ASCVD at Anqing Municipal Hospital from February 2024 to January 2025 was evaluated. RESULTS The established DUE criteria included 3 primary indicators (medication indications, medication process, medication results) and 11 secondary indicators (such as indications, contraindications, etc.). The higher weighted secondary indicators being contraindications (0.117 9) and indications (0.112 1). A total of 265 medical records were included for evaluation. The evaluation results showed that 192 cases (72.45%) had reasonable medical records, 69 cases (26.04%) had basic reasonable medical records, and 4 cases (1.51%) had unreasonable medical records; unreasonable types mainly included inappropriate combination therapy, inappropriate usage and dosage, inappropriate post- medication monitoring, and inappropriate drug switching, etc. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD based on the DPI antithrombotic treatment regimen, and the evaluation results are intuitive, reliable, and quantifiable. The use of low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD patients in our hospital is relatively reasonable, but further management needs to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 3D computed tomography bronchial bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) and guidance of thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy by Mimics software system. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2020 to December 2022. The patients who underwent preoperative 3D-CTBA using Materiaise's interactive medical image control system (Mimics) were selected as an observation group, and the patients who did not receive 3D-CTBA were selected as a control group. The relevant clinical indicators were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 59 patients were included, including 29 males and 30 females, aged 25-79 years. There were 37 patients in the observation group, and 22 patients in the control group. The operation time (163.0±48.7 min vs. 188.8±43.0 min, P=0.044), intraoperative blood loss [10.0 (10.0, 20.0) mL vs. 20.0 (20.0, 35.0) mL, P<0.001], and preoperative puncture localization rate (5.4% vs. 31.8%, P=0.019) in the observation group were better than those in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the thoracic tube placement time, thoracic fluid drainage volume, number of intraoperative closure nail bin, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative air leakage incidence (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion For patients who need to undergo anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy, using Mimics software to produce 3D-CTBA before surgery can help accurately identify pulmonary arteriovenous anatomy, reduce surgical time and intraoperative blood loss, help to determine the location of nodules and reduce invasive localization before surgery, and alleviate patients' pain, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Some traditional Chinese medicine monomers, such as flavonoids (such as taxifolin), alkaloids (such as sinomenine), and stilbenes (such as piceatannol) can exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, and inhibition of apoptosis by regulating the JAK/ STAT signaling pathway, which is helpful to improve sepsis. Traditional Chinese medicine compounds (such as Zuojinfang) and traditional Chinese medicine injections (such as Astragalus injection, Xuebijing injection) can also inhibit inflammation, protect organ function, and reduce sepsis-related damage by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Although traditional Chinese medicine has shown great potential in the prevention and treatment of sepsis, the current research mainly focuses on in vitro and animal models, and more relative clinical researches need to be conducted.

BACKGROUND:
Current replacement procedures for stenosis or occluded arteries using prosthetic grafts have serious limitations in clinical applications, particularly, endothelialization of the luminal surface is a long-standing unresolved problem.METHOD: We produced a cell-based hybrid vascular graft using a bioink engulfing adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) and a 3D bioprinting process lining the ADSCs on the luminal surface of GORE-Tex grafts. The hybrid graft was implanted as an interposition conduit to replace a 3-cm-long segment of the infrarenal abdominal aorta in Rhesus monkeys.
RESULTS:
Complete endothelium layer and smooth muscle layer were fully developed within 21 days post-implantation, along with normalized collagen deposition and crosslinking in the regenerated vasculature in all monkeys. The regenerated blood vessels showed normal functionality for the longest observation of more than 1650 days. The same procedure was also conducted in miniature pigs for the interposition replacement of a 10-cm-long right iliac artery and showed the same long-term effective and safe outcome.
CONCLUSION
This cell-based vascular graft is ready to undergo clinical trials for human patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of labor progress angle (AOP), fetal head descent distance (HPD) and their change rates in the outcome of vaginal trial of cesarean scar uterus. Methods A total of 170 pregnant women who underwent vaginal trial production of scar uterus after cesarean section were selected as study subjects, and were divided into successful group and failed group based on the trial production outcomes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and head-perineum distance (HPD) were measured by ultrasound during the active phase of the first stage of labor when the cervix dilated to 4 cm and at 1 hour after the cervix dilated to 4 cm, respectively. The AOP change rate and HPD change rate after 1 hour of progress were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of AOP, HPD and their change rates in the outcome of vaginal trial production of scar uterus after cesarean section. Delong test was used to compare the differences in area under curves (AUCs). Results Among 170 pregnant women with scarred uterus after cesarean section who were pregnant again, 139 cases (success group) were succeed in transvaginal delivery, while 31 cases failed trial delivery, and transferred to cesarean section (failure group). The AOP of the successful group was significantly larger than that of the failed group when the cervix was opened to 4 cm, and the HPD was significantly shorter than that of the failure group (

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the surgical technique and the short-term effectivenss of lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (LUKA) through lateral approach in the treatment of valgus knee and to calculate the maximum value of the theoretical correction of knee valgus deformity.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on 16 patients (20 knees) who underwent LUKA and met the selection criteria between April 2021 and July 2022. There were 2 males and 14 females, aged 57-85 years (mean, 71.5 years). The disease duration ranged from 1 to 18 years, with an average of 11.9 years. Knee valgus was staged according to Ranawat classification, there were 6 knees of type Ⅰ, 13 knees of type Ⅱ, and 1 knee of type Ⅲ. All patients were assigned the expected correction value of genu valgus deformity by preoperative planning, including the correction value of lateral approach, intra-articular correction value, and residual knee valgus deformity value. The actual postoperative corrected values of the above indicators were recorded and the theoretical maximum correctable knee valgus deformity values were extrapolated. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, hospital stay, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibia angle (mMPTA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), posterior tibial slope (PTS), range of motion (ROM), Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were also recorded for effectiveness evaluation.
RESULTS:
The patients' incision length averaged 13.83 cm, operation time averaged 85.8 minutes, intraoperative blood loss averaged 74.9 mL, and hospital stay averaged 6.7 days. None of the patients suffered any significant intraoperative neurological or vascular injuries. All patients were followed up 10-27 months, with a mean of 17.9 months. One patient with bilateral knee valgus deformities had intra-articular infection in the left knee at 1 month after operation and the remaining patients had no complication such as prosthesis loosening, dislocation, and infection. The ROM, HSS score, and WOMAC score of knee joint significantly improved at each time point after operation when compared to those before operation, and the indicators further improved with time after operation, the differences were all significant ( P<0.05). Imaging measurement showed that HKA, mLDFA, JLCA, and PTS significantly improved at 3 days after operation ( P<0.05) except for mMPTA ( P>0.05). Postoperative evaluation of the knee valgus deformity correction values showed that the actual intra-articular correction values ranged from 0.54° to 10.97°, with a mean of 3.84°. The postoperative residual knee valgus deformity values ranged from 0.42° to 5.30°, with a mean of 3.59°. The actual correction values of lateral approach ranged from 0.21° to 12.73°, with a mean of 4.26°.
CONCLUSION
LUKA through lateral approach for knee valgus deformity can achieve good early effectiveness. Preoperative planning can help surgeons rationally allocate the correction value of knee valgus deformity, provide corresponding treatment strategies, and the maximum theoretical correction value of knee valgus deformity can reach 25°.
