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 compare the differences in fungal community composition between lesional and non-lesional scalp areas in patients suffering from severe alopecia areata （AA）， and compare these with healthy scalp areas in control subjects. Additionally， to preliminarily explore the changes in scalp fungal communities in severe AA patients and their potential underlying immunological mechanisms. MethodsA total of 20 severe AA patients and 18 healthy controls were enrolled. Skin swab samples were collected from lesional and non-lesional scalp areas of severe AA patients， as well as from the normal scalp of healthy controls. The fungal internal transcribed spacer （ITS） region was amplified and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. ResultsThe lesional scalp areas of severe AA patients exhibited higher α-diversity and species richness in fungal communities. Notably， the relative abundance of Ascomycota， along with genera such as Mycosphaerella， Aspergillus， Penicillium， and Wallemia， significantly increased in the bald regions. In contrast， Acremonium and Schizophyllum were more predominant in the non-lesional areas of severe AA patients. ConclusionDistinct region-specific differences in scalp fungal microbiota in severe AA patients suggests that fungal dysbiosis may play a potential role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata. These findings provide new insights into the disease characteristics of severe AA from the perspective of scalp microecology.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of Syk in phagocytosis induced by CD36 antibodies. Methods: In vitro, two CD36 monoclonal antibodies, GZ1 (IgG2a) and GZ4 (IgG1), at different concentrations were co-incubated with platelets from CD36-positive blood donors, and the affinity of the antibodies for platelets was assessed using flow cytometry. CD36 positive platelets from donors were labeled with Red-SE. The GZ1 and GZ4 antibodies were added together with dye-labeled platelets to peripheral blood from blood donors for phagocytosis experiments. The expression of the Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (Syk), P-Syk, P38 MAPK and P-P38 were detected using Western blot(WB). In the in vitro phagocytosis inhibition assay, Fcγ receptor (FcγR) antibodies or Syk inhibitor (R406) were pre-incubated with monocytes prior to performing the phagocytosis experiment. In vivo experiments were performed using female C57BL/6J mice. R406 was administered via intraperitoneal injection, followed by tail vein infusion of GZ1 or GZ4 antibodies. Additionally, a treatment group was set up in which the antibodies were infused first, followed by administration of R406. Changes in platelet counts were analyzed using a blood routine analyzer, and antibody binding to platelets was detected by flow cytometry. Results: GZ1 had higher affinity for CD36positive platelets than GZ4. The phagocytosis rate induced by GZ1 was significantly higher than that of GZ4 [(42.12±2.25)% vs (16.25±6.45)%, P<0.001]. Moreover, GZ1-mediated platelet phagocytosis mainly depends on FcγRⅠ of monocytes, while GZ4-mediated platelet phagocytosis mainly relies on FcγRⅡ of monocytes. WB results showed that the GZ1 group significantly upregulated the expression of Syk and phosphorylated Syk (P-Syk), and induced phosphorylation of the downstream P38 MAPK signaling pathway. Pretreatment of monocytes with R406 inhibited the phagocytosis of antibodyopsonized platelets by monocytes. After injecting GZ1 or GZ4 antibodies into C57BL/6 female mice through the tail vein, GZ1 mAbs had a stronger binding rate to the platelets compared with GZ4 mAbs, leading to a significant decrease in platelet count. After pre-injecting R406 into mice, the platelet count reduction in both the GZ1 and GZ4 groups was alleviated, and the binding rate of antibodies to platelets was also significantly reduced. However, administration of R406 after antibody injection failed to prevent the decrease in platelet counts in mice. Conclusion: This study indicates that Syk plays an important role in the phagocytosis of anti-CD36 opsonized platelets by monocytes/macrophages and is closely associated with the activation of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective: To explore the role of the c.598G>A mutation of the ITGB3 gene in the occurrence of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) through its expression in vitro. Methods: The platelet antibodies in the sera of the affected neonate and her mother were detected using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), solid-phase agglutination, flow cytometry and the gold standard monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA). The common human platelet antigen (HPA) genotypes of the neonate and her parents were obtained using the HPA-SSP method. The presence of mutations was analyzed by sequencing the exons of the ITGB3 and ITGA2B genes. The target gene of ITGB3 was obtained by PCR amplification using the existing human platelet cDNA. The wild-type ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by TA cloning technology. The 598G>A mutant ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was obtained by point mutation, and the plasmid DNA was co-transfected with that of ITGA2B (αⅡb) into HEK293 cells. The transfected cells stably expressing GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa were screened and obtained. The expression of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa in 598G>A mutant transfected cells and the presence of antibodies against this mutation in the serum of mother were detected by flow cytometry and MAIPA. Results: Antibodies against HLA-class Ⅰ and GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were detected in the serum of the neonate's mother, and subsequent HLA antibody-specific testing confirmed the presence of antibodies against HLA-B 57∶01 and A 02∶05. ITGB3 sequencing showed that the neonate and her father carried the c.598G>A point mutation, which results in the change of glutamate to lysine at position 200. Antibodies against GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were not detected using constructed c.598G>A mutant transfected cells reacted with the maternal serum. Conclusion: The in vitro expression and analysis of the ITGB3 c.598G>A mutation did not support a role for this mutation in the pathogenesis of FNAIT. The establishment of this method facilitates the discovery of new platelet low-frequency antigens, and provides a theoretical foundation for the detection of antibodies against platelet antigens associated with patients with adverse pregnancy and childbirth histories.

Background and purpose:Gallic acid(GA)induces tumor cells apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis.Beyond directly attacking tumor cells,another crucial aspect of GA is its ability to modulate and enhance immune system function.For example,it can improve T cell metabolism,alleviate T cell exhaustion,and promote the formation of memory T cell phenotypes.Although several chimeric antigen receptor T(CAR-T)cells products have gained market approval,the technology still faces significant challenges.These limitations include off-target effects,a predisposition to T cell exhaustion and so on.Moreover,similar to exhaustion,cellular senescence is a major hindrance that impairs T cell function.This study aimed to investigate the effects of GA on the anti-tumor function of CAR-T cells both in vitro and in vivo.We further evaluated the impact of GA on CAR-T cells senescence and memory phenotypes,as well as the impact of GA and CAR-T cells on immune cell infiltration within the tumor microenvironment(TME).Methods:Second-generation CAR targeting mouse glypican 3(GPC3)and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)were constructed to generate CAR-T cells.CAR-T cells were co-cultured with GA at a concentration of 5 μg/mL,and flow cytometry was used to assess the senescence status and memory phenotype of CAR-T cells and their killing ability against tumor cells at different effector-to-target ratios.Senescence markers included p53,p21,γ-H2AX and senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal),while CCR7 served as the memory phenotype marker.A subcutaneous tumor model was established to explore the effects of GA on the anti-tumor function of CAR-T cells and immune cell infiltration within the TME.Results:We successfully generated human HER2 and murine GPC3 CAR-T cells,achieving a purity of 30%-50%.GA enhanced the in vitro killing ability of CAR-T cells targeting mouse GPC3 and human HER2(P＜0.001)at different E:T ratios,delayed the senescence of mouse GPC3 CAR-T cells(p53,p21,γ-H2AX,P＜0.05;SA-β-gal,P＜0.001;CCR7,P＜0.001).And GA promoted the differentiation of CAR-T cells toward a memory phenotype(P＜0.001).Additionally,GPC3 CAR-T cells inhibited tumor cell growth(P＜0.05),prolonged mouse survival(P＜0.001),and enhanced the infiltration capacity of CAR-cells(P＜0.001)and endogenous immune cells[CD4+T cells,P＜0.05;CD8+T cells,P＜0.01;natural killer(NK)cells,P＜0.01].Conclusion:GA can enhance the cytotoxic activity of CAR-T cells in vitro,and delay the senescence of CAR-T cells.Furthermore,by modulating TME,GA improved immune cell infiltration,thereby augmenting the overall anti-tumor efficacy of CAR-T cells.

Objective Summarize the clinical application and elevating the caudal end of suspension laryngoscope to deal with severe glottis exposure difficulties.Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 25 patients with severe dystotic glottic exposure(Cormack-Lehane grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ)who underwent laryngoscopy support surgery from January 2021 to January 2024,then analyze the intraoperative management and outcomes.Results In all the patients,after the angle of the suspension laryngoscope was adjusted to the maximum and the glottis could not be exposed satisfactorily,the caudal end of the suspension laryngoscope stent was lifted to obtain a larger tilt angle and field of view.After the caudal end of the stent was elevated by(11.50±6.31)cm,the glottis was exposed satisfactorily in 23 cases and the operation was performed successfully;In 2 cases,the laryngeal mask airway was used in conjunction with a fibrolaryngoscope and laryngeal forceps were used to extract the lesion step by step.Pharyngeal mucosal tearing and oozing of blood occurred in 24 cases,and the bleeding stopped after electrocoagulation;one case had loose and dislodged teeth.There were no significant changes in blood pressure and heart rate of patients before and after stent lifting(P＞0.05).Conclusion For the severe difficulty of glottis exposure during suspension laryngoscopic surgery,it can be dealt with by lifting the caudal end of the stent,which is a simple and effective method that does not cause serious complications and is worth clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin receptor blocker(ARB)on the occurrence of acute kidney injury(AKI)after acute ischemic stroke.Methods From January 2022 to July 2023,patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized in the department of neurology of Nanjing First Hospital were enrolled.A 1∶1 propensity score matching method was adopted to evaluate the effect of ARB on the occurrence of AKI in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Results According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,919 patients were enrolled,among whom 182developed AKI,with an incidence rate of 19.8％.Compared with patients without AKI,those with AKI were older and had a higher proportion of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,and heart failure.They were ad-mitted with lower Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score and higher National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score.In terms of labo-ratory test data,patients with AKI had higher white blood cell counts,serum creatinine,and lower hemoglobin,albumin,low-density lipoprotein,and total cholesterol.Additionally,patients with AKI underwent a higher proportion of endovascular treatments,used diuret-ics,and received mannitol.After matching propensity score,patients using ARB had a lower incidence of AKI(17.1％vs 25.0％,P=0.044)and a lower mortality rate(1.2％vs 5.8％,P=0.014)than those without ARB.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of renal replacement therapy,intensive care unit,and the length of hospital stay.Conclusion ARB may have a potential protective effect on the occurrence of AKI after acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the intervention effects and mechanism of Danggui Shaoyao power on spontaneous abortion rats.Methods A total of 60 first-day pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,dydrogesterone group and Danggui Shaoyao power low,middle,and high dose groups,with 10 rats in each group.The low,middle,and high dose groups were given Danggui Shaoyao power 5.175 g·kg-1,10.35 g·kg-1,20.7 g·kg-1,respectively,from 1 to 12 days of gestation,and the dydrogesterone group was given dydrogesterone tablet solution 2 mg·kg-1 once a day.On the 13th day of gestation,rats model of spontaneous abortion was established by intragastric administration of 5 mg·kg-1 of mifepristone tablet solution except for the normal group.Serum levels of GnRH,FSH,LH,E2 were measured,and abortion rates and uterine coefficients were calculated.The pathological changes of pregnant uterus were observed by haematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The differential proteins in rats pregnant uterus were detected by Label-Free shotgun proteomic technique,and the PPI,Gene Ontology(GO),and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways analysis of the differential proteins were analyzed.Immunohistochemistry was used to verify the expression levels of differential proteins.Results Compared with normal group,the serum levels of GnRH,FSH,LH,E2 and uterine coefficients were decreased,and the abortion rates were increased in model group(P<0.05).There were abortion lesions of spontaneous abortion in model group.Compared with model group,the serum levels of GnRH,FSH,LH,E2 and uterine coefficients were increased(P<0.05),and the abortion rates were decreased(P<0.05)in dydrogesterone group and Danggui Shaoyao power low,middle,and high dose groups.Proteomic results showed that a total of 550 proteins were quantified in this study.PPI analysis showed that a total of 159 proteins interacted with other proteins as hubs;the results of GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the intervention effect of Danggui Shaoyao power on spontaneous abortion is related to the focal adhesion pathway,and involved upregulation of Akt2,Col6a1,Col6a2 and downregulation of Pten.Immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with normal group,the expression level of Akt2,Col6a1 and Col6a2 were decreased(P<0.05),and the expression level of Pten was increased(P<0.05)in model group.Compared with model group,the expression level of Akt2,Col6a1 and Col6a2 were increased(P<0.05),and the expression level of Pten was decreased(P<0.05)in dydrogesterone group and Danggui Shaoyao power low,middle,and high dose groups.Conclusions Danggui Shaoyao power has the intervention effect on spontaneous abortion,and its mechanism may be related to by demoting the protein expressions of Pten,and promoting the protein expressions of Akt2,Col6a1 and Col6a2.
