Objective:To construct a prediction model for peripherally inserted central catheter-related upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (PICC-UEDVT) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and validate its effectiveness.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 222 TBI patients admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to December 2021, including 171 males and 51 females, aged 18-86 years [54.5(46.0, 65.0)years]. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) motor score was 4.0(3.0, 5.0)points on the day of catheterization. A total of 82 patients (36.9%) had PICC-UEDVT. The patients were randomly divided with a ratio of 7∶3 into training set ( n=156, including 58 with PICC-UEDVT) and validation set ( n=66, including 24 with PICC-UEDVT) using R programming language. The baseline data of general information, intravenous medication, catheterization, and laboratory indices were compared between the training set and the validation set. Lasso regression analysis was employed to identify those variables, with the diagnosis of PICC-UEDVT as the outcome variable. Variables with non-zero regression coefficients were included in a multifactorial Logistic regression model and independent variables were selected based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) of R programming language. The regression equation was constructed, based on which, the predictive nomogram model was constructed for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the training set and validation set were plotted and the discriminability of the model was assessed. The calibration of the model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test and calibration curves and the clinical practicality of the model was assessed with decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:The baseline analysis of both the training set and the validation set demonstrated a well-balanced sample distribution. Through Lasso regression analysis, 5 prediction variables were identified: GCS motor score on the day of catheterization, Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, tip position of the catheter, and D-dimer (D-D) level before catheterization. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the Caprini score on the day of catheterization ( OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.08, 1.33), use of glucocorticoids ( OR=3.13, 95% CI 0.99, 10.46), and D-D level before catheterization ( OR=1.16, 95% CI 1.07, 1.33) were independent risk factors for PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. The regression equation was developed as: Logit [ P/(1- P)]=-2.56+0.18×"Caprini score on the day of catheterization"+1.14×"use of glucocorticoids"+0.15×"D-D level before catheterization". In the prediction model which was constructed based on the equation, the AUC values for the training set and validation set were 0.73 (95% CI 0.65, 0.81) and 0.77 (95% CI 0.65, 0.87) respectively. The H-L goodness-of-fit test indicated χ2=3.28, P=0.950 for the training set and χ2=13.05, P=0.160 for the validation set. Calibration curves for both sets demonstrated alignment between the actual and predicted probabilities of PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients. DCA results showed that the net benefit rate of patients was optimal when the threshold probability ranged from 15% to 72% for the training set and from 10% to 81% for the validation set. Conclusion:The prediction model based on the Caprini score on the day of catheterization, use of glucocorticoids, and D-D level before catheterization demonstrates good predictive accuracy, calibration and clinical practicality in predicting PICC-UEDVT in TBI patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of low dose whole-lung irradiation in COVID-19 pneumonia based on the present evidence.Methods:All literature related to the application of low dose whole-lung irradiation in COVID-19 pneumonia were retrieved from Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google scholar, Scoupus, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database until May 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature. For the literature that met the inclusion criteria, both data extraction and literature quality evaluation were blinded. Revman 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 5 controlled clinical trials involving 194 patients met the inclusion criteria. No statistically significant differences were detected in the low dose whole-lung irradiation group compared with the best supportive care group for clinical recovery rates, intubation rates, radiographic improvement rates and 28 d-overall survival.Conclusions:In patients of COVID-19 pneumonia, low dose whole-lung irradiation conferred no significant benefit to clinical outcomes. Currently, the routine use of low dose whole-lung irradiation for the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia is not recommended.

Objective:To investigate the application value of right minimal invasive three-port technique of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (RMIT-LSG) for the treatment of obesity.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 66 obesity patients who underwent RMIT-LSG in the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January to October 2021 were collected. There were 15 males and 51 females, aged 28.5(range, 16.0?54.0)years. The body mass index (BMI) of the 66 patients was (36.9±4.3)kg/m 2. There were 20 of the 66 patients combined with type 2 diabetes. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or the WeChat to detect postoperative recovery of patients including body mass changing, BMI and complications 6 months after operation. The follow-up was up to December 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All the 66 patients underwent RMIT-LSG successfully, without conversion to laparotomy or changing surgical method. The operation time and the volume of intraoperative blood loss of the 66 patients were (132±22)minutes and (14±8)mL, respectively. (2) Postoperative situations. The time to postoperative initial out-of-bed activities, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postoperative initial water intake, time to postoperative initial liquid food intake and duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 66 patients were (15±6)hours, (1.80±0.60)days, (1.00±0.20)days, (2.00±0.20)days and (3.40±0.60)days, respectively. Of the 66 patients, one case underwent post-operative abdominal hemorrhage at postoperative day 1 and received a second surgery for hemostasis. The patient with postoperative abdominal hemorrhage and other 65 patients recovered well without gastroparesis, gastric fistula, abdominal infection and other complication. (3) Follow-up. All the 66 patients were followed up for 6(range, 1?11)months. All the 66 patients completed the postoperative scar photography at postoperative 1 month, and results of scar photography showed concealed scar with good cosmetic effects. Twenty-seven of the 66 patients were followed up for 6 months after operation, with the weight loss, percentage of weight loss and decrease of BMI were (42±7)kg, 34.8%±2.9%, (14.2±1.9)kg/m 2, respectively. None of the 66 patient had innutrition during the follow-up. Conclusion:The RMIT-LSG is safe and feasible for the treatment of obesity, with a good cosmetic effect of the wound.

Abstract: To investigate the changes of cerebral blood flow(CBF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2 DM) and its correlation with cognitive function and olfactory impairment. Methods: Cognitive function assessment and smell identification test were performed on 83 patients with T2 DM and 62 healthy controls(HC). Three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3 D-pcASL) head images were collected from the two groups. CBF values of the cerebral cortex were compared between the patients and HC after the postprocessing. Correlations between the CBF values and cognitive function assessment and between the CBF values and smell identification test scores were analyzed as well. Results: Compared to the HC, Chinese smell identification test(CSIT), montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA), digit span test(DST), verbal fluency test(VFT) scores were lower in T2 DM patients(P<0.05).The CBF of the bilateral middle frontal gyrus in T2 DM patients was higher than that in HC group(P<0.001). The CBF of the bilateral gyrus rectus and olfactory cortex in T2 DM patients was lower than that in HC group(P<0.001). Conclusion The cognitive and olfactory function of patients with T2 DM decreased. Patients with T2 DM have abnormal perfusion in the bilateral middle frontal gyrus, gyrus rectus and olfactory cortex, revealing that CBF changes in these brain regions may be one of the causes for cognitive impairment and olfactory dysfunction in T2 DM.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to explore the effects of FMT on the gut microbiota of IBS patients.Methods:From September 2016 to August 2017, at Guangzhou First People′s Hospital, 28 hospitalized IBS patients who underwent FMT treatment were enrolled. Before FMT, four and 12 weeks after FMT, all the IBS patients completed the irritable bowel syndrome quality of life scale (IBS-QOL), irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) and gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS). 16S rDNA sequencing was performed before FMT and four weeks after FMT. The effects of FMT on gut microbiota diversity and microbiota structure of IBS patients were analyzed respectively from the level of phylum, family and genus, and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) was further used to screen the different bacteria. Paired t test and paired rank sum test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Twelve weeks after FMT, the scores of the six dimensions of IBS-QOL including dysthymia, behavioral disorder, auto imagery, health concerns, eating avoidance, and relationship expansion were all lower than those before FMT (43.750, 22.656 to 56.250 vs. 48.438, 32.031 to 60.938; 37.500, 18.750 to 56.250 vs. 46.429, 21.429 to 62.500; 31.250, 14.063 to 42.188 vs. 31.250, 18.750 to 50.000; 41.667, 27.083 to 56.250 vs. 50.000, 41.667 to 66.667; 54.167, 43.750 to 72.917 vs. 66.667, 58.333 to 83.333; 8.333, 0.000 to 33.333 vs. 16.667, 8.333 to 33.333, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.157, -3.429, -2.274, -3.197, -3.042 and -2.329, all P<0.05). Twelve weeks after FMT, the scores of the two dimensions of IBS-QOL including behavioral disorder and relationship expansion were both lower than those of four weeks after FMT (37.500, 18.750 to 56.250 vs. 39.286, 19.643 to 62.500 and 8.333, 0.000 to 33.333 vs. 16.670, 2.083 to 41.667, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-1.998 and -2.110, both P<0.05). Four and 12 weeks after FMT, the scores of IBS-SSS and GSRS were both lower than those before FMT ((190.32±106.51), (201.43±102.48) vs. (245.93±86.10) and 5.50, 4.00 to 9.00 and 5.50, 4.00 to 8.75 vs. 7.00, 6.00 to 9.75), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.402 and 3.848, Z=-3.081 and -3.609; all P<0.01). No serious adverse reactions occurred in the patients after FMT. At the phylum level, after FMT the abundance of Verrucomicrobia in the feces of IBS patients was richer than that before FMT (6.74% vs. 0.37%); at the family level, after FMT the abundance of Verrucomicrobiaceae in the feces of IBS patients was richer than that before FMT (6.74% vs. 0.37%); at the genus level, after FMT the abundance of Akkermansia was richer than that before FMT (6.74% vs. 0.37%); and the differences were statistically significant (all Z=-2.589, all P=0.010). The results of LEfSe method indicated that four weeks after FMT the abundance of Akkermansia in the gut microbiota of IBS patients was richer than that before FMT (6.74% vs. 0.37%), and the difference was statistically significant (linear discriminant analysis value=4.5, P=0.049). Conclusions:FMT is safe and effective in the treatment of IBS. The mechanism may be through upregulating the diversity of gut microbiota and changing the structure of gut microbiota of IBS patients.
