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 explore the therapeutic effect of Xuebijing injection （XBJ） on severe acute pancreatitis induced acute lung injury （SAP-ALI） by regulating formyl peptide receptors （FPRs）/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 （NLRP3） inflammatory pathway. MethodsSixty rats were randomly divided into a sham group， a SAP-ALI model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose XBJ groups （4， 8， and 12 mL·kg^-1）， and a positive drug （BOC2， 0.2 mg·kg^-1） group. For the sham group， the pancreas of rats was only gently flipped after laparotomy， and then the abdomen was closed， while for the remaining five groups， SAP-ALI rat models were established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate （Na-Tc） via the biliopancreatic duct. XBJ and BOC2 were administered via intraperitoneal injection once daily for 3 d prior to modeling and 0.5 h after modeling. Blood was collected from the abdominal aorta 6 h after the completion of modeling， and the expression of interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in plasma was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The amount of ascites was measured， and the dry-wet weight ratios of pancreatic and lung tissue were determined. Pancreatic and lung tissue was taken for hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining to observe pathological changes and then scored. The protein expression levels of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue were detected by the immunohistochemical method. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the SAP-ALI model group showed significantly decreased dry-wet weight ratio of lung tissue （P<0.01）， serious pathological changes of lung tissue， a significantly increased pathological score （P<0.01）， and significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of FPR1， FPR2， and NLRP3 in lung tissue （P<0.01）. After BOC2 intervention， the above detection indicators were significantly reversed （P<0.01）. After treatment with XBJ， the groups of different XBJ doses achieved results consistent with BOC2 intervention. ConclusionXBJ can effectively improve the inflammatory response of the lungs in SAP-ALI rats and reduce damage. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expression of FPRs and NLRP3 in lung tissue， which thereby reduces IL-1β and simultaneously antagonize the release of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α.

Objective:To investigate the expression of ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2) in psoriatic lesions and its effect on the proliferation and differentiation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) .Methods:The GDS4602 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was analyzed to determine EPHA2 gene expression changes in psoriatic lesions. Skin tissue samples were collected from 3 psoriasis patients and 3 healthy controls, and EPHA2 expression was determined in the skin tissues by immunofluorescence staining. Twelve female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (4 mice in each group) : a normal control group (receiving no treatment), an imiquimod group (topically treated with 62.5 mg of imiquimod 5% cream), and an imiquimod + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (topically treated with 62.5 mg of imiquimod 5% cream, followed by intraperitoneal injections of the EPHA2 inhibitor ALWⅡ-41-27 at a dose of 20 mg·kg -1·d -1) ; after 6 days of treatment, dorsal skin samples were harvested for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, immunofluorescence staining was performed to determine the expression of EPHA2 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2), and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of the nuclear proliferation antigen Ki67, involucrin (Ivl), loricrin (Lor), and keratin 10 (Krt10). In vitro cultured NHEKs were divided into a control group (receiving no treatment), an M5 group (treated with 10 ng/ml M5 cytokines [including interleukin-17A, interleukin-22, interleukin-1α, oncostatin M and tumor necrosis factor-α]), an ALWⅡ-41-27 group (treated with 1 μmol/L ALWⅡ-41-27), and an M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (treated with 10 ng/ml M5 and 1 μmol/L ALWⅡ-41-27) ; after 24 hours of treatment, the 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay was performed to assess cellular proliferative activity, Western blot analysis to determine the expression of EPHA2, ERK and their phosphorylated proteins, and qPCR to determine the mRNA expression of KI67, IVL, LOR, and KRT10. One-way analysis of variance, Dunnett's T3 test, two-independent-sample t test, and paired t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:GEO database analysis revealed upregulated EPHA2 expression in psoriatic lesions compared with normal skin tissues from healthy controls ( t = 21.07, P < 0.001). Immunofluorescence staining showed increased EPHA2 expression in skin tissues from psoriasis patients and mouse models of psoriasis compared with those from healthy controls and normal control mice, respectively (both P < 0.01). In the animal experiments, the imiquimod group showed thicker epidermis, increased Ki67 mRNA expression, decreased mRNA expression of Ivl, Lor, and Krt10, and elevated p-ERK1/2 expression compared with the normal control group and imiquimod + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05). In the cell experiments, the M5 group showed an increased proportion of EdU-positive cells (35.61% ± 1.18% vs. 24.83% ± 0.60% and 12.49% ± 1.52%, t = 8.12, 12.00, P = 0.015, 0.001, respectively), increased KI67 mRNA expression, and decreased mRNA expression of IVL, LOR, and KRT10 compared with the control group and M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05) ; Western blot analysis revealed that the expression levels of EPHA2, p-EPHA2, and p-ERK1/2 in NHEKs were significantly higher in the M5 group than in the control group and M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the ERK1/2 protein expression among groups ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:EPHA2 expression was upregulated in psoriatic lesions, which may promote keratinocyte proliferation and inhibit its differentiation, possibly via the ERK pathway.

Objective:To characterize the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of macrolides against clinical Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) isolates and to investigate the significance of 23S rRNA mutations. Methods:Cross-sectional study.A total of 288 clinical MP strains preserved in the laboratory from 2016 to 2021 were taken for macrolide resistance gene testing and the evaluation of in vitro susceptibility to Azithromycin and Erythromycin.MIC 50 and MIC 90 values were calculated separately for macrolide-susceptible and -resistant strains. Results:All 288 MP strains underwent the test of in vitro susceptibility to Azithromycin, while 86 of them were additionally tested for Erythromycin.Among these strains, 22 strains were Azithromycin-sensitive, and 266 strains were Azithromycin-resistant.A2063G mutations were detected in 260 (97.7%) strains, while A2064G mutations were detected in 6 (2.3%) strains.Azithromycin-resistant strains had an MIC 50 of 128.000 μg/mL and an MIC 90 of 512.000 μg/mL, with the MIC ranging between 16.000 and 512.000 μg/mL.Seven strains were sensitive and 79 strains were resistant to Erythromycin.Among Erythromycin-resistant strains, A2063G mutations were detected in 73 (92.4%) strains, while A2064G mutations were detected in 6 (7.6%) strains.Erythromycin-resistant strains had an MIC 50 of 256.000 μg/mL and an MIC 90 of 512.000 μg/mL, with the MIC ranging between 64.000 and 1 024.000 μg/mL. Conclusions:A2063G and A2064G mutations in the 23S rRNA gene of MP are associated with high-level in vitro resistance to Azithromycin and Erythromycin, significantly limiting the clinical effectiveness of these antibiotics.Early resistance gene testing is recommended for suspected MP patients, which can help optimize the treatment, improve prognosis, and prevent resistance spread.

Objective To observe the effects of postoperative complications, anal exhaust time, immune function and fatigue index of parenteral and enteral nutrition support after abdominal surgery in elderly patients with malnutrition diagnosed by GLIM criteria. Methods Ninty elderly abdominal surgery patients (more than 70 years old) who diagnosed as malnutrition by GLIM 2-step method were divided into enteral nutrition(EN) group and parenteral nutrition (PN) group randomly. The corresponding immune and fatigue indexes were tested on day 1 and day 7 of postoperation. Postoperative complications, anal exhaust time and mean time of hospitalization were observed and analyzed. Results The incidence of malnutritional risk was 61.0% (122/200) in elderly abdominal surgery patients and malnutrition incidence was 45.0% (90/200). IgA, IgM, IgG, CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 on postoperative day 7 increased significantly in EN group than those in PN group (P<0.05). The postoperative complications in EN group significantly lower than that in PN group (P<0.05). Anus exhaust time and hospitalization days of EN group were shorter than that of PN group (P<0.05). Fatigue index on postoperative day 7 of EN group was significantly better than that of PN group (P<0.05). Conclusions The malnutrition diagnosis of elderly patients based on GLIM crteria is a necessary prerequisite for nutritional intervention. Early EN support can reduce postoperative complications and hospitalization days in elderly patients, improve postoperative fatigue syndrome and immune status, and improve the patients with malnutrition recover from surgery.
