Based on the interactive ritual chain theory， this paper deeply analyzed the interactive characteristics between doctors， patients， and their families in the palliative care environment， as well as explored the role of emotional resonance， symbolic representation， and situational creation in psychological support. It also sorted out four primary issues currently present in psychological support for palliative care patients， including insufficient recognition of caregivers regarding patients’ psychological needs， limited psychological intervention methods， inadequate psychological support capabilities among medical staff， and an imperfect family and social support system. On this basis， a five-dimensional psychological support mechanism was constructed， encompassing emotional resonance， situational creation， team collaboration， environment building， and technological application. This aimed to provide palliative care patients with comprehensive and continuous psychological intervention by optimizing doctor-patient interaction， strengthening emotional connection， improving physical environment， and utilizing information technology， thereby contributing to alleviating the psychological distress patients confront in the terminal stage and improving their life dignity and quality of life.

Objective:To present the epidemiological characteristics of ≤28 days case fatality in both hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and ischemic stroke (IS) patients in national cardiovascular disease surveillance areas from 2015 to 2019.Methods:Data on all new patients with stroke and ≤28 days outcomes from 2015 to 2019 were from the China Registry of Cardiovascular Events, which was established in 2014, covering 100 counties (cities, districts) in 31 provinces in China. Poisson regression was used to analyze the annual trend of ≤28 days case fatality. The age-standardized case fatality was directly calculated based on all new stroke onset.Results:In total, 112 069 deaths in HS patients ≤28 days after the onset, as well as 94 373 in IS patients, were identified during the study period. In 2019, the ≤28 days case fatality rate in HS patients was 4.75 times that of IS patients (37.08% vs. 7.80%), as well as that 4.06 times in urban areas (30.13% vs. 7.43%) and 5.30 times in rural areas (42.63% vs. 8.05%), respectively. Thus, in rural areas, HS patients showed 41.49% higher ≤28 days case fatality rate than that in urban areas, as well as 8.34% higher in IS patients. Those ≤28 days case fatality in both stroke subtypes onset increased with age and reached the highest level in those aged 85 years and over. During the study period, HS and IS patients in each age group displayed significant decrease trend in ≤28 days case fatality rate (trend P<0.001). Compared with that in 2015, the age-standardized ≤28 days case-fatality in HS patients in 2019 decreased by 28.52%, which was more in urban areas (-34.27%) than that in rural areas (-23.19%). Meanwhile, IS patients experienced a 39.90% reduction in ≤28 days case fatality, which was much lower in urban areas (-31.62%) than in rural areas (-45.10%, all trend P<0.001). Conclusions:From 2015 to 2019, ≤28 days case fatality in both HS and IS patients decreased in China. Wide variations of ≤28 days case-fatality were evident in the level and trend in stroke subtype, age of patients, as well as urban and rural areas. More precise and comprehensive strategies for stroke prevention, treatment, and post-stroke management are urgently required in China.

Objective:To investigate the influence of prealbumin on cerebral infarction severity, hemorrhage transformation and 1-year prognosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 752 patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in Beijing Tiantan Hospital,Capital Medical University from December 2018 to December 2019 as the study objects. Personal information and laboratory indicators of the patients were collected including prealbumin, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, etc.Patients were divided into group B1 (<238 mg/L) and group B2 (≥238 mg/L) based on median prealbumin. By inquiry patient's case, NIHSS score (<16 was classified as mild, ≥16 as moderate and severe)and cerebral infarction volume (<20 cm 3 as small infarct, >20 cm 3 as large infarct) were recorded to evaluate the severity of the disease, and whether hemorrhage transformation occurred during hospitalization was recorded. Patients were followed up 1 year after discharge, and prognostic information of patients was recorded, including neurological function recovery (mRS score <3 was classified as good recovery, ≥3 as poor recovery),all-cause case fatality rate, and recurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ±s, non-normally distributed measurement data were expressed as median and quartiles[ M( Q1, Q3)], categorical variable were expressed as ratio and percent(%). Comparison between groups of measurement data were performed by independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Chi-square test were used on comparison between groups of categorical variable. Single-factor comparison, Spearman correlation analysis and multiple Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between prealbumin and other laboratory indicators, cerebral infarction severity, hemorrhage transformation and 1-year prognosis, respectively. Results:The NIHSS score and infarct volume of patients in group B1 were 5(2,10) and 3.18(0.72,18.00) cm 3, and those in group B2 were 3(2,7) and 2.0(0.5,10.0) cm 3, respectively, which were higher in group B1 than in group B2, the differences were statistically significant ( Z=3.85, P<0.001, Z=2.81, P=0.005). The proportion of mRS Score ≥3 in group B1 was 28.8%(107/371), and the all-cause case fatality rate was 7.5%(28/371), both higher than 20.5%(78/381) and 3.1%(12/381) in group B2, with statistical significance ( χ2=7.10, P=0.008, χ2=7.22, P=0.007). Hemorrhage transformation and recurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events were 13.5%(50/371) and 11.6%(43/371) in group B1 and 9.2% (35/381) and 8.7%(33/381) in group B2, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.45, P=0.063, χ2=1.78, P=0.183). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusted for potential confounding factors, prealbumin was protective factor of NIHSS ( OR and 95% CI: 0.990(0.984-0.997), P=0.035), poor neurological recovery(mRS≥3) ( OR and 95% CI:0.992(0.988-0.997), P<0.001) and all-cause case fatality rate ( OR and 95% CI:0.991(0.983-0.999), while prealbumin had no significant influence on cardiocerebrovascular recurrence events ( OR and 95% CI: 0.999(0.993-1.005), P=0.729). Conclusion:Prealbumin is significantly associated with the severity of cerebral infarction and poor prognosis 1 year after discharge, and low prealbumin was an independent risk factor for NIHSS score(≥16), poor neurological recovery (mRS≥3) and all-cause case fatality rate.

Objectives:To explore the effects of infarct volume, infarct type, inflammation, and coagulation indicators on hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:711 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital were retrospectively included as the study objects from December 2018 to December 2019 [535 males and 176 females, age 22-95 years, mean age (59.6±12.1) years]. Clinical data, laboratory indicators such as inflammation and coagulation function of patients were collected, and information such as location, volume and type of infarction were recorded. The patients were divided into hemorrhage transformation group and non-hemorrhage transformation group according to whether hemorrhage transformation occurred during hospitalization. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as xˉ± s, non-normally distributed measurement data were expressed as median and quartiles [ M( Q1, Q3)], categorical variable were expressed as ratio and percent (%). Comparison between groups of measurement data were performed by independent sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. χ2 test were used on comparison between groups of categorical variable. Univariate comparison and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between hemorrhage transformation and infarct volume, infarction type and laboratory indicators, respectively, to explore the risk factors of hemorrhage transformation. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of indicators. Results:The rates of coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation history in the hemorrhage transformation group were 23.5% (20/85) and 22.4% (19/85), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-hemorrhage transformation group (13.9% (87/626) and 5.8% (36/626), respectively), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=5.43, χ2=28.90, P=0.020, P<0.001, respectively). The NIHSS score [10(4,17) points] and infarct volume [46.50 (14.21,118.42) mL] in the hemorrhage transformation group were significantly higher than those in the non-hemorrhage transformation group [4(2,7) points, 2.00(0.51,8.94) mL]. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z values were 6.69 and 10.69, respectively, P<0.001). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (OR=2.604, 95% CI: 1.186-5.716, P=0.107), infarct volume (OR=1.009, 95% CI: 1.004-1.015, P=0.001), infarct type of Chinese ischemic stroke subclassfication (OR=1.371, 95% CI: 1.085-1.731, P=0.008) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (OR=1.047, 95% CI: 1.006-1.090, P=0.023) were independent risk factors for hemorrhage transformation. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of infarct volume and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were 0.861 (0.821-0.901) and 0.684 (0.626-0.741), respectively, which were effective in predicting hemorrhage transformation after cerebral infarction. The prediction of infarct volume was more efficient. Conclusion:History of atrial fibrillation, classification of cardioembolic stroke, infarct volume, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio are all risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation after acute cerebral infarction.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

This report presents the management of a critically ill 36-year-old woman diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph +ALL) at 28 weeks of gestation. The patient rapidly deteriorated, developing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) , diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) , septic shock, and multi-organ dysfunction, necessitating admission to the hematological intensive care unit. Given her critical condition and advanced pregnancy, a chemotherapy-free induction regimen comprising imatinib and dexamethasone was initiated, alongside comprehensive supportive measures, including mechanical ventilation, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) , broad-spectrum antibiotics, and high-dose corticosteroids. During treatment, intrauterine fetal demise occurred, and a stillborn was delivered following obstetric intervention. With aggressive treatment, the patient's respiratory failure, DIC, and DAH gradually resolved, and she achieved complete remission. She subsequently received consolidation chemotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, achieving sustained complete molecular remission on long-term follow-up. This case demonstrates that for critically ill pregnant patients with Ph + ALL, a chemotherapy-free regimen of targeted therapy and corticosteroids, when combined with intensive supportive care, is a safe and effective approach that may offer a therapeutic option for similar cases.
