Objective:To analyze the changes in the variables of venous thromboembolism (VTE) management among inpatients after implementing clinical care classification (CCC) system, and to explore the impacts.Methods:This was a quasi experimental study. Based on the network monitoring data in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, all the inpatients were included in this study from January 2022 to June 2023. According to the date of implementing CCC, we took July 2022 as the intervention cut-off point, and two phases of pre-CCC (January 2022 to June 2022) and post-CCC (July 2022 to June 2023) were defined. The interrupted time series (ITS) analysis was used to evaluate the impacts of implementing CCC system on VTE management among inpatients.Results:ITS analysis showed that in the period of post-CCC (August 2022 to June 2023), the slope of VTE evaluation rate was 0.000 415 5, with a significant upward trend ( t=2.49, P<0.05). In the month of CCC system launched (July 2022), the implementation rate of VTE preventive measures increased significantly, with a significant statistical difference ( t=3.10, P<0.05). In the post-CCC phase (August 2022 to June 2023), the slope of VTE preventive measures implementation rate was -0.012 876, with no significant statistical difference ( P>0.05). The implementation of CCC system had no significant impacts on the overall and high-risk incidence of VTE among inpatients. Conclusions:After the implementation of the CCC system, the VTE evaluation rate of inpatients increased significantly, which suggesting that the CCC system standardized the clinical VTE management among inpatients.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of axillary transthoracic approach and posterior approach in the treatment of upper thoracic tuberculosis with vertebral clearance, bone graft fusion, and internal fixation surgery.Methods:Fifty five patients with upper thoracic tuberculosis admitted to Changsha Central Hospital, University of South China from March 2017 to March 2022 were selected and divided into axillary transthoracic group and posterior group according to different surgical approaches. The incision length, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative hospitalization time were compared between the two groups of patients. Two groups of patients were recorded for preoperative and postoperative pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months, preoperative and postoperative serum inflammatory indicators, CD4 + /CD8 + ratio of T lymphocyte subsets, and complications. Results:The incision length, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss in the axillary transthoracic group were significantly less than those in the posterior group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative hospitalization time between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). The VAS and ODI scores of the two groups of patients showed significant improvement compared to preoperative levels at 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months after surgery (all P<0.05); And at 1 week and 3 months after surgery, the VAS scores of patients in the axillary transthoracic group were significantly lower than those in the posterior group (all P<0.05), and the ODI scores at 3 and 12 months after surgery were significantly lower than those in the posterior group (all P<0.05). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP levels of both groups of patients increased significantly one week after surgery compared with preoperative levels (all P<0.05), but the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP levels basically returned to normal levels at three months after surgery. The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio of T lymphocyte subsets in both groups was lower than preoperative levels at one week after surgery, but with the continuation of treatment, the CD4 + /CD8 + ratio increased significantly at three months after surgery. Conclusions:Both axillary and posterior approaches can be used for surgical treatment of upper thoracic tuberculosis, but axillary and thoracic approaches have the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, and faster recovery.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, hypercoagulability, hypertension, and multiorgan dysfunction. Effective antivirals with safe clinical profile are urgently needed to improve the overall prognosis. In an analysis of a randomly collected cohort of 124 patients with COVID-19, we found that hypercoagulability as indicated by elevated concentrations of D-dimers was associated with disease severity. By virtual screening of a U.S. FDA approved drug library, we identified an anticoagulation agent dipyridamole (DIP) , which suppressed SARS-CoV-2 replication . In a proof-of-concept trial involving 31 patients with COVID-19, DIP supplementation was associated with significantly decreased concentrations of D-dimers ( < 0.05), increased lymphocyte and platelet recovery in the circulation, and markedly improved clinical outcomes in comparison to the control patients. In particular, all 8 of the DIP-treated severely ill patients showed remarkable improvement: 7 patients (87.5%) achieved clinical cure and were discharged from the hospitals while the remaining 1 patient (12.5%) was in clinical remission.
