Neurocritical care involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and its incidence is higher, injuries are more severe, and treatment is more challenging in high-altitude environments. This consensus, based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical data, establishes a standardized, goal-oriented framework for neurocritical care management applicable in high-altitude regions and nationwide. The consensus was developed following international standards for evidence quality assessment and underwent two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in 32 recommendation statements covering three parts: management systems, monitoring and assessment, and core strategies. Key updates include: advocating for the establishment of independent neurocritical care units and implementing precise tiered diagnosis and treatment based on the "Five Differences in Critical Care" concept; constructing a "trinity" multimodal brain monitoring system centered on cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and brain function, emphasizing routine bedside transcranial Doppler ultrasound, cerebral oximetry, and continuous electroencephalography monitoring; shifting management strategies from mild hypothermia therapy to targeted temperature management, and defining the "446" target management pathway for the supercritical stage; emphasizing the assessment of static and dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation functions through multimodal methods to achieve individualized optimal mean arterial pressure management; elevating cerebrospinal fluid management goals to the level of "glymphatic system" function maintenance; implementing a multidisciplinary collaborative, whole-process management model focusing on patients' long-term neurological functional outcomes; de-escalation criteria include multidimensional indicators such as recovery of brain structure, restoration of cerebrovascular autoregulation, improvement in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and reduction in biomarker levels; and integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence into post-critical care management and rehabilitation planning. This consensus systematically integrates the entire process of neurocritical care management, reflecting the modern connotation of goal-oriented, dynamic, and multimodal integration in neurocritical care medicine. It aims to adapt to new trends such as deepening understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, the integration of medicine and engineering, and the empowerment of artificial intelligence, thereby further advancing the discipline of critical care medicine.

ObjectiveTo identify potential influencing factors of urate crystal deposition at ankle/foot in patients with hyperuricemia （HUA）， and to analyze the predictive value of inflammatory indicators for urate crystal deposition in patients with different traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes， so as to provide potential reference for clinical risk assessment and individualized TCM intervention. MethodsA retrospective study was carried out with the enrollment of 231 HUA patients from The Third Affiliated People's Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2021 and December 2024. The enrolled patients were further divided into a crystal deposition-positive group （143 cases） and a crystal deposition-negative group （88 cases） according to the results of dual-energy computed tomography （CT）. Sociodemographic data， living habits， serum uric acid levels， and inflammatory indicators of the enrolled patients were collcted， and TCM syndrome differentiation was performed. Furthermore， univariate analysis was used to compare inter-group differences in clinical characteristics. MMultivariate Logistic regression was applied to identify the influencing factors of urate crystal deposition. In addition， the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive efficacy of inflammatory indicators for crystal deposition across different TCM syndromes. ResultsThere were statistically significant inter-group differences in the proportion of males， age， body mass index， proportion of mental labor， rate of low water intake， and rate of high-sugar beverage consumption （P<0.05），whereas no significant difference in low exercise intensity was found between the two groups. Furthermore， compared with the negative group， the positive group had higher serum uric acid level， neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR）， and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio （PLR）， but lower systemic immune-inflammation index （SIRI） （P<0.05）. Regarding the distribution of TCM syndromes， the positive group was dominated by the dampness-heat accumulation syndrome （55/143，38.46%）， while the negative group was mainly characterized by the phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome （44/88，50.00%）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that high-sugar beverage consumption， elevated NLR， and elevated PLR were risk factors for urate crystal deposition ［odd ratio （OR） = 8.002， 5.377， 1.034， respectively； 95% CI 1.572-40.732， 2.179-13.270， 1.013-1.054，all P<0.05］， while SIRI was a protective factor （OR = 0.869， 95% CI 0.778-0.971， P<0.05）. In the positive group， patients with the dampness-heat accumulation syndrome exhibited the highest NLR， while the lowest PLR and SIRI， showing statistically significant differences with those of other syndromes （all P<0.05）. In addition， ROC curve analysis indicated that for the dampness-heat accumulation syndrome， the combined "NLR + PLR" model had an area under the curve （AUC） of 0.901 （95% CI 0.850-0.951， P<0.01）， with a sensitivity of 89.1% and a specificity of 79.5%； for the blood stasis-heat obstruction syndrome， the combined "NLR + PLR" model had an AUC of 0.880 （95% CI 0.825-0.934， P<0.01）， with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 67.3%； for the liver-kidney Yin-deficiency syndrome， the single PLR model had an AUC of 0.842 （95% CI 0.731-0.952， P<0.01）， with a sensitivity of 83.3% and a specificity of 84.0%. ConclusionUrate crystal deposition in HUA patients exhibits intimate associations with high-sugar beverage consumption as well as elevated NLR and PLR levels. Meanwhile， TCM syndrome differentiation has potential correlation with inflammatory characteristics. The inflammatory indicator-based prediction model constructed based on TCM syndromes exhibits good predictive value.

Despite significant advances in the field of critical care medicine over the past three decades, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) remains the primary temporary mechanical circulatory support modality for patients with acute severe circulatory failure. With the accumulation of clinical experience and the increasing maturity of operational techniques in V-A ECMO, its technical management—particularly hemodynamic management—has become a key factor influencing patient outcomes. To further improve patient survival, the Chinese Critical Care Ultrasound Study Group, in collaboration with the Hemodynamic Therapy of Critical Care Collaborative Group and the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, organized experts in critical care medicine to develop the Consensus on Hemodynamic Management in Adult Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (2026 Edition). Based on years of clinical experience and the latest evidence-based medical evidence, this consensus formulates 15 systematic recommendations covering the entire process of V-A ECMO, including initiation, management during support, and weaning, aiming to promote standardized application of hemodynamic management in V-A ECMO.

Objective To investigate the effects of low, mid, and high flux smoothness modes on plan quality, treatment efficiency, equipment loss, and clinical economic benefits in fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy for cervical cancer, and establish a decision-making model for parameter optimization and economic benefits. Methods Fifteen patients with cervical cancer undergoing radiotherapy were selected. Using the Monaco system and adjusting only the flux smoothness parameter, low, mid, and high plans were designed for each patient. Dosimetric differences were compared for the target volume (D₂, D₉₈, D_mean, homogeneity index, conformity index) and organs at risk (small intestine, rectum, colon, bladder, femoral head). The number of segments, monitor units, and their correlations with treatment efficiency and equipment loss were analyzed, as well as the potential impact on clinical costs. Results There were statistically significant differences in the three groups' planned target areas D₂, D₉₈, D_mean, CI, HI, and the dose parameters of organs at risk (P<0.001), but the absolute differences were all lower than the clinical tolerance limits in the ICRU 83 report (±3% – ±5%), with an effect size d<0.5 (except for the small intestine with d = 0.51). There was no clinical significance. Compared with the mid mode, the high mode had a 13.3% reduction in the number of subfields (effect size d = 0.85), a 11.6% reduction in machine jumps (d = 1.0), and a 13.0% reduction in treatment time. Based on the mid mode, the relative loss rate of the accelerating tube in the high mode was 11.6%, the theoretical risk change rate of equipment failure was 12.7%, and the accelerating tube lifespan was extended by approximately 1.2 years. Comprehensive economic benefits: Calculated based on 1,200 treatments per year, the annual cost savings are approximately 920,000 yuan. Conclusion Adoption of the high flux smoothness mode in fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy for cervical cancer using the Monaco system can significantly enhance treatment efficiency and reduce operating costs while ensuring dosimetric quality. It is recommended for routine clinical use.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the miR-518a-5p/histone deacetylase 6(HDAC6)axis in DNA oxidative damage in ovarian cancer(OC)SKOV3 cells.Methods Expression levels of miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 mRNA in OC tissues and in various cancer cells(A2780,SKOV3,CAOV3)were detected by qRT-PCR.SKOV3 cells were separated into Control,miR-NC,miR-518a-5p mimics,miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC,and miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 groups.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by colony-forming assay and Hoechst 33258 staining.Expression of phosphorylated histone H2AX(γ-H2AX)was detected by immunofluorescence assay and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by flow cytometry.HDAC6,Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),and B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.The regulatory relationship between miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 was analyzed by dual luciferase assay.The effect and mechanism of miR-518a-5p on oxidative DNA damage in OC cells were studied in a xenotransplantation tumor model.Results miR-518a-5p expression was decreased and HDAC6 expression was increased in OC tissues and A2780,SKOV3,and CAOV3 cells(P＜0.001).Expression levels of miR-518a-5p were lowest and expression levels of HDAC6 were highest in SKOV3 cells,and SKOV3 cells were therefore selected for subsequent experiments.miR-518a-5p expression,apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics group compared with the miR-NC group,while HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,Bcl-2 expression,and colony-formation number were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,colony-formation number,and expression of Bcl-2 were higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 group compared with the miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC group,and the apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 had a targeted regulatory relationship with miR-518a-5p.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p decreased tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression in tumor tissues,and increased γ-H2AX expression in vivo(P＜0.001).Upregulation of HDAC6 expression by overexpression of miR-518a-5p increased graft tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression and decreased γ-H2AX-positive expression(P＜0.05).Conclusions miR-518a-5p expression is reduced and HDAC6 expression is increased in OC tissues and cells.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p can induce oxidative DNA damage in SKOV3 cells by inhibiting HDAC6 expression,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting cell apoptosis.

Objective:The transcriptome data was utilized to screen cuproptosis-related genes(CRGs)in oral squamous cell car-cinoma(OSCC),and the characteristic genes were identified for constructing a prognostic model for predicting patients'survival time.Methods:OSCC transcriptome gene expression and clinical data were obtained from TCGA and GEO.Through Lasso regres-sion analysis and Cox regression analysis,relevant prognostic genes were screened and prognostic models were constructed.Ac-cording to the median value of risk scores,patients were divided into high and low risk groups,and their survival rates were com-pared.Finally,the predictive performance of the model was verified.Results:In this study,9 characteristic genes with prognostic value(ENO2,P4HA1,SLC2A3,AQP1,PLS1,NXPH4,CTSG,TRAC,THBS1)were screened out and a 9-gene prognostic model was constructed.The survival rate of high-risk group based on prognostic model was significantly lower than that of low-risk group.The area under curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was 0.701,0.729 and 0.702 at 1 year,3 years and 5 years,respectively,which verifies that the risk model has good predictive performance.The nomogram predicted that the 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival probabilities of OSCC patients are 89.6％,72.4％,and 63.9％respectively,and the cal-ibration curve confirmed the accuracy of the nomogram prediction.Conclusion:The 9-gene prognostic model based on CRGs screening could predict the prognosis of OSCC patients,which is helpful for clinical personalized treatment of OSCC patients and prediction of their survival rate.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of different doses of tranexamic acid (TXA) for traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) in the early phase of trauma following acute exposure to high altitude in rabbits.Methods:Twenty-five healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into plain control group ( n=5) and acute high-altitude THS group ( n=20) according to the random number table method. The plain control group did not undergo THS modeling throughout the experiment while the acute high-altitude THS group was raised in a hypoxia simulation chamber with a volume fraction of 10% for 3 days to establish the THS model. Based on the different doses of TXA administered intravenously at 30 minutes after THS modeling, the acute high-altitude THS group was further divided into four subgroups: acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA subgroup, acute high-altitude THS+45 mg/kg TXA subgroup, acute high-altitude THS+90 mg/kg TXA subgroup and acute high-altitude THS+135 mg/kg TXA subgroup, with 5 rabbits in each. The vital signs [mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, rectal temperature] and blood cell counts [red blood cell count (RBC), platelet count (PLT)], 4 coagulation parameters [fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT)], thromboelastography [clotting reaction time (R value), clot formation time (K value), maximum amplitude (MA value)], syndecan-1, inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were recorded before blood loss, at 30 minutes and 120 minutes after blood loss. At 6 hours after THS, the lungs, terminal ileum, and kidneys of the rabbits were collected to observe tissue damage, and the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and total water content (TLW) of the lung tissue were measured. Results:(1) Vital signs: Before blood loss, there were no significant differences in MAP, heart rate, or rectal temperature between the acute high-altitude THS subgroups and the plain control group ( P>0.05). At 30 minutes and 120 minutes after blood loss, the acute high-altitude THS subgroups exhibited significantly lower MAP, heart rate, and rectal temperature compared to those in the plain control group ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in MAP, heart rate or rectal temperature among the acute high-altitude THS subgroups at any time point ( P>0.05). In the acute high-altitude THS subgroups, MAP, heart rate and rectal temperature were significantly decreased at 30 minutes and 120 minutes after blood loss compared to those before blood loss ( P<0.05); At 120 minutes after blood loss, these parameters were further significantly decreased compared to those at 30 minutes after blood loss ( P<0.05).

At 120 minutes after blood loss, the acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA subgroup exhibited significantly increased R value and K value compared to those in the other subgroups ( P<0.05), while MA value was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The remaining acute high-altitude THS subgroups showed significant decrease of R value and K value compared to those in the plain control group ( P<0.05), while MA value was significantly lower ( P<0.05). The acute high-altitude THS+45 mg/kg TXA subgroup exhibited significantly lower R value and K value compared to those in the acute high-altitude THS+90 mg/kg TXA and acute high-altitude THS+135 mg/kg TXA subgroups ( P<0.05), with no significant differences in R value, K value and MA value between the later two groups ( P<0.05). (5) Changes in Syndecan-1, inflammatory factors and PAI-1: Before blood loss, syndecan-1 was significantly higher in the acute high-altitude THS subgroups compared to that in the plain control group ( P<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in IL-6, TNF-α, or PAI-1 ( P>0.05). At 30 minutes after blood loss, syndecan-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and PAI-1 were significantly higher in the acute high-altitude THS subgroups compared to those in the plain control group ( P<0.05). At 120 minutes after blood loss, syndecan-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and PAI-1 were significantly higher in the acute high-altitude THS subgroups compared to those in the plain control group ( P<0.05). Among them, the acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA group exhibited significantly higher levels of syndecan-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and PAI-1 compared to the other acute high-altitude THS subgroups ( P<0.05). The acute high-altitude THS+45 mg/kg TXA subgroup had significantly higher syndecan-1, IL-6, and TNF-α compared to those in the acute high-altitude THS+90 mg/kg TXA and acute high-altitude THS+135 mg/kg TXA subgroups ( P<0.05), with no significant difference in PAI-1 ( P>0.05). No significant differences were observed in syndecan-1, IL-6, TNF-α or PAI-1 between the acute high-altitude THS+90 mg/kg TXA and acute high-altitude THS+135 mg/kg TXA subgroups ( P>0.05). (6) Tissue injury: At 6 hours after THS, acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA group exhibited significant interstitial thickening of the lung with extensive inflammatory cell infiltration, localized loss of intestinal brush border accompanied by cellular disruption, and marked structural disruption of renal corpuscles with focal cellular injury and necrosis. At 6 hours after THS, the acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA subgroup exhibited significantly higher lung injury scores, Chiu′s intestinal injury scores, and kidney injury scores compared to those of the other subgroups ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the tissue injury scores of the lungs, intestines and kidneys among the other subgroups ( P>0.05). The acute high-altitude THS+0 mg/kg TXA subgroup also had significantly higher lung W/D and TLW compared to those in the other subgroups ( P<0.05). At 6 hours after THS, the acute high-altitude THS+45 mg/kg TXA group exhibited significantly higher W/D and TLW of the lung tissues compared to those in the acute high-altitude THS+90 mg/kg TXA and acute high-altitude THS+135 mg/kg TXA groups ( P<0.05), with no significant differences between the latter two subgroups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:At 3 days after acute exposure to high altitude, rabbits show a hypercoagulable state of the blood, accompanied by endothelial barrier dysfunction. At 30 minutes after the induction of acute high-altitude THS, a single slow intravenous bolus injection of TXA at doses of 90 mg/kg and 135 mg/kg is more effective in improving coagulation and fibrinolysis function, inflammatory response, endothelial injury, and reduced the risk of pulmonary edema than that at a dose of 45 mg/kg.
