Objective:To analyze the status quo and hot topics in research on venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention during the perioperative period and provide references for future research and clinical practice.Methods:Journal articles related to perioperative VTE prevention were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database up to June 30, 2023. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using CiteSpace 6.2.R4.Results:A total of 1 079 articles were included, showing an overall upward trend in the publication volume of perioperative VTE prevention research from 1999 to 2023. Research themes mainly focused on high-risk populations for VTE, high-risk types of surgery, risk factors and assessment, perioperative prevention, and nursing care. Current hot topics include "risk assessment" "anticoagulation therapy" "guidelines" "aspirin" and "rivaroxaban".Conclusions:Perioperative VTE prevention has increasingly garnered the attention of medical and nursing professionals. Future efforts should emphasize international exchange and cooperation to explore strategies for VTE prevention at different stages of the perioperative period and leverage information technology to enhance the quality of perioperative VTE prevention and management.

Methamphetamine (Meth) abuse can cause serious mental disorders, including anxiety and depression. The gut microbiota is a crucial contributor to maintaining host mental health. Here, we aim to investigate if microbiota participate in Meth-induced mental disorders, and the potential mechanisms involved. Here, 15 mg/kg Meth resulted in anxiety- and depression-like behaviors of mice successfully and suppressed the Sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1)/BDNF/TRKB pathway in the hippocampus. Meanwhile, Meth impaired gut homeostasis by arousing the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-related colonic inflammation, disturbing the gut microbiome and reducing the microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Moreover, fecal microbiota from Meth-administrated mice mediated the colonic inflammation and reproduced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in recipients. Further, SCFAs supplementation optimized Meth-induced microbial dysbiosis, ameliorated colonic inflammation, and repressed anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Finally, Sigmar1 knockout (Sigmar1^-/-) repressed the BDNF/TRKB pathway and produced similar behavioral phenotypes with Meth exposure, and eliminated the anti-anxiety and -depression effects of SCFAs. The activation of SIGMAR1 with fluvoxamine attenuated Meth-induced anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. Our findings indicated that gut microbiota-derived SCFAs could optimize gut homeostasis, and ameliorate Meth-induced mental disorders in a SIGMAR1-dependent manner. This study confirms the crucial role of microbiota in Meth-related mental disorders and provides a potential preemptive therapy.

Objective:To explore the effect of the discharge preparation plan based on community linkage in the out-of-hospital continuous nursing of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 206 COPD patients hospitalized in the Respiratory Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 103 cases in each group. The control group received routine management of COPD, and the observation group implemented a community-linked discharge preparation plan on the basis of the control group, and carried out a six-month intervention. The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC) score, body mass index, degree of airflow obstruction, dyspnea and exercise capacity (BODE) index, and the patient readmission rate during the intervention period were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group were lower than those of the control group. Except for cough and sputum, the differences in the other items and total scores were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The item scores and total scores of the CAT of the observation group after intervention were lower than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The dimension scores and total score of the PACIC of the observation group after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, and were higher than those of the control group after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The BODE index score of the observation group after intervention was lower than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The readmission rate in the observation group within six months was 13.59% (14/103) , which was lower than 31.07% (32/103) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=9.068, P=0.003) . Conclusions:The discharge preparation plan based on community linkage can improve the quality of life and lung function of COPD patients, increase the patient's recognition of chronic disease management, reduce the rate of hospital readmission, and achieve the overall quality improvement in continuous nursing of patients.

Objective:To explore the high risk factors of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) in breast cancer patients, and provide the basis for the development of appropriate prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:A total of 1 432 breast cancer patients scheduled to receive central venous catheterization in National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 1, 2015 to August 31, 2019 were selected. Baseline information and catheterization information of patients were collected. The occurrence of CRT was confirmed by vascular ultrasound examination, and the influencing factors of CRT were analyzed.Results:The total number of catheter days were 121, 980 days in 1 432 patients with breast cancer, and the average number of catheter days in each patient was 85.2 days. The incidence of CRT was 6.8% (97/1 432), which was 0.79 cases/1 000 catheter days. Among 815 patients with centrally inserted central venous catheters (CICC), 43 (5.3%) had CRT, which was 0.70 cases/1 000 catheter days. Among 617 patients with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC), 54 (8.8%) developed CRT, which was 0.90 cases/1 000 catheter days. CRT was most common in subclavian vein (63.9%). Multivariate regression analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years old ( OR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.056-2.775, P=0.029), PICC ( OR=1.732, 95% CI: 1.130-2.656, P=0.012), the catheter position except subclavian vein ( OR=10.420, 95% CI: 1.207-89.991), secondary adjustment of catheter position ( OR=3.985, 95% CI: 1.510-10.521, P=0.005) and high D-Dimer level ( OR=1.129, 95% CI: 1.026-1.241, P=0.012)were independent risk factors for CRT. Conclusions:The CRT problem can′t be ignored in the clinical treatment of breast cancer patients with central venous catheterization. Screening the appropriate age of patients and the type of central venous catheters, reducing the secondary adjustment of catheter position, and timely monitoring the level of D-dimer are helpful to the prevention and treatment of CRT.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for intra-abdominal fistula in China, and to explore the prognostic factors.Methods:A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted based on the Registration System of Chinese Gastrointestinal Fistula and Intra-Abdominal Infections to collect the clinical data of patients with intra-abdominal fistula from 18 medical centers from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, including basic information, medical records and prognosis.Results:A total of 106 patients were enrolled in this study, including 57 males and 49 females, with an average age of (48.0±17.8)years. The most common type of intra-abdominal fistula was entero-vesical fistula (34.0%), followed by entero-vaginal fistula (31.1%), entero-enteric fistula (26.4%) and multiple fistula (8.5%). The direct causes of intra-abdominal fistula were mainly surgical operation (66.0%), followed by spontaneous fistula due to Crohn′s disease (18.9%), radiation intestinal injury (11.3%), and 4 cases (3.8%) of unknown reasons. During the whole treatment, 95 patients received nutritional support therapy, mainly EN+ PN (75.8%). Finally, 86 patients (81.1%) received surgical treatment, with a healing rate of 95.3%. After surgery, 8.1% of patients developed surgical site infections (SSI), and 10.5% had a relapse of fistula. 20 patients (18.9%) were treated conservatively, with a self-healing rate of 80.0%. The overall mortality rate was 8.5%, and the highest mortality (15.2%) was found in entero-enteric fistula. Statistical analysis showed that the age ( t=-4.664, P<0.001), leucocyte level ( U=663.000, P=0.010), sepsis ( P=0.002) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) ( P=0.019) were higher in the death group than those in the healing group. Multivariate analysis suggested that advanced age ( OR=1.073, 95% CI: 1.008-1.141, P=0.026) and complications of sepsis ( OR=11.806, 95% CI: 1.064-131.048, P=0.044) were independent risk factors of the death for patients with intra-abdominal fistula. Conclusions:The overall mortality rate of intra-abdominal fistula is still high, and malignant tumor is the most common primary disease. Advanced age and sepsis are independent risk factors for death in patients with intra-abdominal fistula.

Objective: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) in China, and to explore the prognostic factors of ECF. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted based on the Registration System of Chinese Gastrointestinal Fistula and Intra-Abdominal Infections to collect the clinical data of ECF patients from 54 medical centers in 22 provinces/municipalities from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The clinical data included patient gender, age, length of hospital stay, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, underlying diseases, primary diseases, direct causes of ECF, location and type of ECF, complications, treatment and outcomes. All medical records were carefully filled in by the attending physicians, and then re-examined by more than two specialists. The diagnosis of ECF was based on the clinical manifestations, laboratory/imaging findings and intraoperative exploration. Results: A total of 1521 patients with ECF were enrolled, including 1099 males and 422 females, with a median age of 55 years. The top three primary diseases of ECF were malignant tumors in 626 cases (41.2%, including 540 gastrointestinal tumors, accounting for 86.3% of malignant tumors), gastrointestinal ulcers and perforations in 202 cases (13.3%), and trauma in 157 cases (10.3%). The direct causes of ECF were mainly surgical operation in 1194 cases (78.5%), followed by trauma in 156 (10.3%), spontaneous fistula due to Crohn′s disease in 92 (6.0%), radiation intestinal injury in 41 (2.7%), severe pancreatitis in 20 (1.3%), endoscopic treatment in 13 (0.9%) and 5 cases (0.3%) of unknown reasons. All the patients were divided into three groups: 1350 cases (88.7%) with simple ECF, 150 (9.9%) with multiple ECF, and 21 (1.4%) with combined internal fistula. Among the patients with simple ECF, 438 cases (28.8%) were jejuno-ileal fistula, 313 (20.6%) colon fistula, 170 (11.2%) rectal fistula, 111 (7.3%) duodenal fistula, 76 (5.0%) ileocecal fistula, 65 (4.3%) ileocolic anastomotic fistula, 55 (3.6%) duodenal stump fistula, 36 (2.4%) gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula, 36 (2.4%) esophagogastric/esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula, 29 (1.9%) gastric fistula and 21 (1.4%) cholangiopancreatiointestinal. Among all the simple ECF patients, 991 were tubular fistula and 359 were labial fistula. A total of 1146 patients finished the treatment, of whom 1061 (92.6%) were healed (586 by surgery and 475 self-healing) and 85 (7.4%) died. A total of 1043 patients (91.0%) received nutritional support therapy, and 77 (6.7%) received fistuloclysis. Infectious source control procedures were applied to 1042 patients, including 711 (62.0%) with active lavage and drainage and 331 (28.9%) with passive drainage. Among them, 841 patients (73.4%) underwent minimally invasive procedures of infectious source control (replacement of drainage tube through sinus tract, puncture drainage, etc.), 201 (17.5%) underwent laparotomy drainage, while 104 (9.1%) did not undergo any drainage measures. A total of 610 patients (53.2%) received definitive operation, 24 patients died within postoperative 30-day with mortality of 3.9% (24/610), 69 (11.3%) developed surgical site infection (SSI), and 24 (3.9%) had a relapse of fistula. The highest cure rate was achieved in ileocecal fistula (100%), followed by rectal fistula (96.2%, 128/133) and duodenal stump fistula (95.7%,44/46). The highest mortality was found in combined internal fistula (3/12) and no death in ileocecal fistula. Univariate prognostic analysis showed that primary diseases as Crohn′s disease (χ²=6.570, P=0.010) and appendicitis/appendiceal abscess (P=0.012), intestinal fistula combining with internal fistula (χ²=5.460, P=0.019), multiple ECF (χ²=7.135, P=0.008), esophagogastric / esophagojejunal anastomotic fistula (χ²=9.501, P=0.002), ECF at ileocecal junction (P=0.012), non-drainage/passive drainage before the diagnosis of intestinal fistula (χ²=9.688, P=0.008), non-drainage/passive drainage after the diagnosis of intestinal fistula (χ²=9.711, P=0.008), complicating with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (χ²=179.699, P<0.001), sepsis (χ²=211.851, P<0.001), hemorrhage (χ²=85.300, P<0.001), pulmonary infection (χ²=60.096, P<0.001), catheter-associated infection (χ²=10.617, P=0.001) and malnutrition (χ²=21.199, P<0.001) were associated with mortality. Multivariate prognostic analysis cofirmed that sepsis (OR=7.103, 95%CI:3.694-13.657, P<0.001), complicating with MODS (OR=5.018, 95%CI:2.170-11.604, P<0.001), and hemorrhage (OR=4.703, 95%CI: 2.300-9.618, P<0.001) were independent risk factors of the death for ECF patients. Meanwhile, active lavage and drainage after the definite ECF diagnosis was the protective factor (OR=0.223, 95%CI: 0.067-0.745, P=0.015). Conclusions The overall mortality of ECF is still high. Surgical operation is the most common cause of ECF. Complications e.g. sepsis, MODS, hemorrhage, and catheter-associated infection, are the main causes of death. Active lavage and drainage is important to improve the prognosis of ECF.

Inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD) is a chronic disease including Crohn′s disease ( CD) and ulcerative colitis ( UC ) .There are no single diagnostic criteria for IBD .Biomarkers are an objective measurement and evaluation of physiological and pathological processes .And they have been widely used in the diagnosis and prognosis monitoring of IBD patients .

Objective To study the early survival rate and its influencing factors of extremely preterm infants and extremely low birth weight ( ELBW ) infants.Method All extremely preterm infants and/or ELBW infants in Shandong Provincial Hospital from January , 2010 to December 2015 were studied retrospectively.The factors affecting their survival rate and their complications were analyzed retrospectively . All cases were assigned into the survival group and the death group .On the other hand , they were also assigned into two groups according to their birth , pre-2014 and post-2014.Result A total of 142 extremely preterm infants and/or ELBW infants were enrolled, their gestational age was 28 (27, 29) weeks, birth weight was 925 (830, 965) g.76 cases (53.5%) survived, 66 cases (46.5%) died.Factors associated with the survival rate were early onset sepsis , placental abruption , perinatal asphyxia , birth weight and pulmonary hemorrhage (P<0.05).There were 67 cases pre-2014 in which 30 cases survived (44.8%), while 75 cases post-2014 in which 46 cases survived ( 61.3%) .Comparative analysis between the two groups pre-2014 and post-2014 revealed that the survival rate was significantly different (χ2 =3.900, P=0.048).The top 2 underlying causes of death before 2014 were perinatal asphyxia and early onset sepsis . Furthermore, early onset infection became the first cause of death after 2014.Conclusion Along with the prevalence of neonatal resuscitation program and the optimization of respiratory support strategies in premature infants , the early survival rate of extremely preterm infants and /or ELBW infants has improved significantly.However, early onset sepsis may have been the crucial cause for their perinatal mortality .

Objective To analyze the effect of hand hygiene compliance on the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumo-nia(VAP )in children,and explore the role of hand hygiene in the prevention and control of VAP .Methods Hand hygiene compliance among HCWs in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)was intervened,hand hygiene compliance rate of HCWs and incidence of VAP in children with mechanical ventilation from March 1,to October 31,2012 (before intervention)and from January 1,to August 31,2013 (after intervention)were compared.Results Hand hygiene compliance rate after in-tervention was higher than before intervention(37.31%[97/260]vs 24.17% [58/240])(χ2 =10.08,P <0.01);the con-sumption of hand washing liquid and alcohol-based handrub enhanced from 3.48mL /bed day before intervention to 4.49 mL/bed day after intervention,which increasing by 29.02%.The incidence of VAP after intervention was lower than be-fore intervention (2.21‰[5/2 261]vs 6.50‰[13/2 001])(χ2 =4.67,P <0.05).Conclusion Implementation of com-prehensive measures and improvement of HCWs’hand hygiene compliance can reduce the incidence of VAP in chil-dren.
