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.

Objective: To investigate the influence of sinus morphology on the safety of hydraulic sinus floor elevation surgery and provide a biomechanical basis for clinical treatment. Methods: After approval by the Medical Ethics Committee of the institution, cone beam computed tomography imaging data from nine patients were collected. The sinus morphologies were classified into slope, flat and concave types. Three-dimensional finite element models of maxillary sinuses with the aforementioned morphologies were constructed using Mimics, Geomagic, Solidworks, and ANSYS software, followed by a simulation of the hydraulic elevation process. The sinus membrane elevation height was set at 1-6 mm. The pressure required for elevation and the equivalent, compressive, tensile, and shear stresses generated on the sinus membrane were recorded and analyzed. The equivalent stress distribution on the sinus membrane was visualized using contour plots. Results: The elevation pressure and the equivalent, compressive, tensile, and shear stresses generated on the sinus membrane increased along with the elevation height. When the sinus membrane was lifted to 6 mm, the elevation pressure was (301.17 ± 98.1) kPa, (151.85 ± 3.7) kPa, and (149.36 ± 10.31) kPa in the slope, flat and concave finite element analysis models, respectively. The equivalent stress was (1 023.86 ± 201.99) kPa in the slope sinuses, comparing with (687.91 ± 69.08) kPa and (698.27 ± 96.09) kPa in the flat and concave sinuses. Higher elevation pressure and the equivalent stress, compressive stress and shear stress values were found in the slope sinus than in the flat and concave sinuses under the same elevation height (P < 0.05). Stress distribution analysis revealed that stress was uniformly distributed in the flat sinuses, followed by concave sinuses, but asymmetrically distributed in the slope sinuses Conclusions The slope sinuses demonstrated inferior safety and efficiency compared with the flat and concave sinuses when performing hydraulic sinus floor elevation surgery.

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of hydraulic sinus floor elevation for the treatment of insufficient bone height in the posterior maxilla through a systematic review and Meta-analysis, so as to provide evidence for clinical practice. Methods Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials.gov were searched up to May 2025. Randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, cross-sectional studies, and case-control studies that involved patients receiving hydraulic sinus floor elevation with simultaneous or delayed implant placement were included. Exclusion criteria comprised in vitro studies, animal experiments, narrative reviews, unpublished data, commentaries or expert opinions, studies with unclear sample sizes, and publications without full-text access or unavailable outcome data. Three investigators independently performed literature screening and quality assessment. A single-arm Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 18.0 for studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The outcome measures were the incidence of sinus membrane perforation, implant survival rate, and endo-sinus bone gain. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2) tool and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist were used to assess the methodological quality of randomized controlled trials and non-randomized controlled trials, respectively. The overall certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE（Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation）system. Results Nineteen studies with 982 patients, 1 151 elevated sites, and 1 263 implants were finally included. The Meta-analysis showed that the intraoperative sinus membrane perforation rate of hydraulic sinus floor elevation was 2.0% [ES = 0.02, 95% CI (0.00, 0.04)] (18 studies, 1 061 sites); the implant survival rate was 99.0% [ES = 0.99, 95% CI (0.97, 1.00)] (17 studies, 1 253 implants); and the mean vertical bone gain was 7.80 mm. For this outcome, heterogeneity among studies was extremely high (I2 = 98.6%), thus only descriptive analysis was performed. Egger's test revealed no significant publication bias for the three outcomes. GRADE grading indicated very low certainty of evidence for mucosal perforation, implant survival rate, and endo sinus bone gain. Conclusion Current preliminary evidence suggests that hydraulic sinus lift may be a safe minimally invasive technique, but the evidence is very low, and more high quality, long term follow up randomized controlled clinical trials are still needed for further verification.

Objectives:QT interval prolongation during treadmill test exercise is one of the clinical feature of patients with long QT syndrome(LQTS).This study aimed to explore the feasibility and efficacy of treadmill exercise testing as an auxiliary diagnosis tool for LQTS in clinical practice.Methods:We enrolled normal healthy individuals,common cardiovascular disease patients,and clinically diagnosed or suspected LQTS patients,who underwent treadmill exercise test from July 2023 to July 2024 at Fuwai Hospital.A special treadmill exercise testing procedure was designed to record the QT interval correction(QTc)intervals of the twelve lead electrocardiogram at 6 time points when performing the exercise tablet,including supine,sitting,standing,peak exercise,and recovery at 1-minute and 4-minute.The differences in QTc intervals among healthy group,cardiovascular diseases group,and suspected LQTS group were compared.Results:A total of 80 cases were consecutively enrolled,including 37 normal healthy controls,25 patients with common cardiovascular disease,and 18 patients with suspected LQTS.The QTc intervals at 6 points did not differ significantly between normal healthy controls and patients with cardiovascular disease,with QTc intervals less than 480 ms at all measurement.For patients with suspected LQTS,67.7%(12/18)of these patients presented a QTc interval≥480 ms at the 4-minute during recovery period.Among them,5 cases were confirmed to have pathogenic gene mutations of LQTS by genetic testing(including 1 case with a lying electrocardiogram QTc interval of 489 ms diagnosed with LQTS 1 type and a QTc interval of 636 ms during the 4-minute recovery period after exercise);5 clinically diagnosed patients(negative or undetectable in genetic testing)with a Schwartz score≥4,and the remaining 2 patients had a Schwartz score of 3.The remaining 5/18 patients,include 2 patients with clinical Schwartz scores≥4 and 3 patients with clinical suspicion(Schwartz scores 2-3)had a 4 min QTc interval of 445-480 ms during exercise recovery.Another patient with clinical suspicion(Schwartz score 3)had a 4 min QTc interval of<445 ms during exercise recovery and a negative genetic test at a later stage.Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed a sensitivity of 83.3%and specificity of 98.4%for QTc interval≥482 ms during the 4-minute recovery period of exercise as the LQTS diagnostic cutoff.Conclusions:This study results suggest that this special treadmill exercise testing protocol is effective in identifying LQTS and has strong feasibility and generalizability for clinical practice.

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:To analyze the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women in Weihai City before and after (2022, 2023) the iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) intervention, evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures, and provide a scientific basis for adjusting IDD prevention strategies in the city.Methods:In May 2023, the intervention action of IDD was carried out for pregnent women in Weihai City. In April 2022 and December 2023, respectively, a cross-sectional survey method was conducted in four districts (cities) of Weihai City. Each district (city) was divided into five areas (east, west, south, north, and central) each year, and one township (street) was selected from each areas. At least 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) as survey subjects, and their household salt samples and random urine samples were collected to measure salt iodine and urinary iodine concentrations, and to compare the test results.Results:A total of 922 household salt samples were tested, including 530 iodized salt samples and 469 qualified iodized salt samples. The median salt iodine was 24.00 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt, and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were 57.48%, 88.49%, and 50.87%, respectively. No significant difference was observed in medians salt iodine between 2022 (24.26 mg/kg) and 2023 (24.00 mg/kg, Z = - 1.58, P = 0.113). However, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt in 2023 werehigher than those in 2022 [73.72% (373/506) vs 37.74% (157/416), 65.22% (330/506) vs 33.41% (139/416), χ 2 = 120.90, 92.40, P < 0.001]. A total of 922 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine of 135.90 μg/L. The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2022 was 113.55 μg/L. There was a statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 27.91, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in 2023 was 153.00 μg/L. There was no statistically significant difference in medians urinary iodine among different regions ( H = 3.33, P = 0.343). The medians urinary iodine of pregnant women in Huancui District, Wendeng District, and Rushan City in 2023 (156.60, 155.00, 140.85 μg/L) were higher than those in 2022 (93.60, 110.00, 110.70 μg/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = - 5.44, - 4.92, - 5.99, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in Weihai City in 2023 showed a statistically significant difference compared to 2022 ( Z = - 7.62, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The IDD intervention measures in Weihai City have achieved good results, and the coverage of iodized salt, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, and the iodine nutrition level of pregnant women have improved. We should continue to implement intervention measures, improve the iodine nutrition level of key populations, and maintain a sustained elimination of IDD.

OBJECTIVE To explore the possible mechanism of Qingchang Huashi Formula in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC).METHODS Fifty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into a control(Ctrl)group,a model group,a low-dose Qingchang Huashi Formula group,a high-dose Qingchang Huashi Formula group,and a 5-aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA)group based on body weight.The UC model was established in mice by drinking 3%dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)for 6 d.On d7 and d8,DSS was withdrawn and ultrapure water was given daily.Ultrapure water or different drugs were administered orally throughout the experiment:Ctrl and model groups received 0.2 mL of ultrapure water,while the low-dose and high-dose Qingchang Huashi Formula groups re-ceived 6 and 12 g·kg-1,respectively,and the concentration of 5-ASA was 100 mg·kg-1.Body weight and fecal characteristics of the mice were recorded daily,and the experiment ended on d9.Serum was collected from mice for serum metabolomics and inflam-matory factor expression analysis.The colons of the mice were isolated and their lengths were measured,and the distal colon was ob-tained for pathological analysis.The livers and colons of the mice were isolated for subsequent total bile acid analysis.RESULTS Compared with the Ctrl group,the model group mice showed a significant decrease in body weight and colon length(P<0.000 1),a remarkable increase in disease activity index(P<0.000 1).The concentration of inflammatory factors IL-1β and TNF-α was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.000 1).High-dose and low-dose Qingchang Huashi Formula,as well as 5-ASA could significantly alleviate the loss of body weight,increased DAI,colon shortening,and disappearance of colon tissue morphology in mice.Through ELISA tes-ting,it was found the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α was remarkably decreased after Qingchang Huashi Formula and 5-ASA treat-ment(P<0.01,P<0.000 1).Through LC-MS analysis of serum metabolites and KEGG enrichment analysis,we found that interven-tion with Qingchang Huashi Formula could significantly affect the primary bile acid synthesis,secondary bile acid synthesis and bile se-cretion.Using total bile acid reagent kit,we found that the total bile acid in the liver of colitis mice did not show significant changes when compared with the Ctrl group of mice,and the concentration of total bile acid in the serum was significantly reduced,the concen-tration of TBA in the colon was significantly increased(P<0.05).After intervention with the Qingchang Huashi Formula,the concen-tration of total bile acid in the serum of mice was significantly increased,while the concentration of total bile acid in the colon was re-duced(P<0.05).Compared with mice in Ctrl group,the levels of deoxycholic acid(DCA)and taurine deoxycholic acid(TDCA)in serum of colitis mice were significantly reduced(P<0.05).After intervention with Qingchang Huashi Formula,the levels of DCA,TD-CA and Ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)in serum of mice were restored(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Qingchang Huashi Formula can effectively relieve DSS-induced colitis in mice,reducing immune inflammatory response,reregulating the disorder of serum metabolism and enterohepatic circulation.

This study investigated the infectious status and pathogen characteristics of Leptospira in rodents and the environment in Fujian province to provide data for the prevention and control of leptospirosis.A total of 723 rodents and 31 water samples were col-lected from 19 regions in Fujian Province during 2020-2023.The prevalent rodent species was Rattus losea(35.82%,259/723),which was followed by Rattus norvegicus(20.06%,145/723),Rattus tanezumi(19.64%,142/723),and Niviventer fulvescens(13.97%,101/723).A total of 144 positive samples of Leptospira spp.were detected in rodent kidney samples,accounting for 19.92%(144/723).The positivity rate of Leptospira spp.in wild rodents was higher than that in domestic rodents(χ2=8.48,P<0.05),and the positivity rate in adult rodents was higher than that in juvenile rodents(χ2=14.19,P<0.05).The positivity rates varied among rodent species(χ2=46.11,P<0.05),and differences in the positivity rates of Leptospira spp.were observed among regions(χ2=32.113,P<0.05).Ten strains were isolated from 440 rodent samples,and the isolation rate was 2.27%(10/440).Genospecies identification indi-cated that Leptospira borgpetersenii accounted for seven of the ten isolates,and L.interrogans accounted for three.MLST typing divided 10 isolates into three ST types:ST1,ST16,and ST143.5 isolates were isolated from 31 water samples,with an isolation rate of 16.13%,all of which were nonpathogenic L.tsangambouensis.Although pathogenic Leptospira spp.were not isolated from the water samples,the rodents in Fujian Province were generally infected with pathogenic Leptospira spp.Surveillance of the environment and ro-dents infected with Leptospira spp.should be strengthened.

[Objective]To explore the effects of astragalin(AST)on autophagy and apoptosis of astrocytes in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord in mice with inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant(CFA).[Methods]Twenty-four male C57BL/6 mice,aged six months,were randomly assigned to four groups:control group,saline group,CFA model group,and CFA+AST group,six mice in each group.The inflammatory pain model was established by injection of 10 μL CFA into the right lateral malleolus fossa.The saline group were injected with an equal amount of normal saline at the same site.The inflammatory pain mice in CFA+AST group were further treated with AST(60 mg/kg)intraperitoneally once a day for 21 consecutive days.Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the coexpression of autophagy-related factors including ATG 12 and Beclin-1,apoptosis-related factors including Cleaved-Caspase3 and Caspase9,and the astrocyte marker such as GFAP in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of the mice in each group.Western blot was used to examine the protein expression levels of autophagy-related proteins(ATG12,Beclin-1)and apoptosis-related proteins(Caspase 3,Caspase 9)in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of mice.[Results]Immunofluorescent staining showed that in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord,the fluorescence intensity of ATG12(P<0.000 1)and Beclin-1(P<0.000 1)was significantly increased,while that of Cleaved-Caspase 3(P<0.001)and Caspase 9(P<0.000 1)was decreased in the CFA+AST group when compared to the CFA model group.Furthermore,AST could inhibit the activation of astrocytes.Western blot further confirmed that AST significantly upregulated the expression of ATG12(P<0.000 1)and Beclin-1(P<0.000 1)in the L4-5 spinal cord of CFA mice,and downregulated the expression of Caspase 3(P<0.01)and Caspase 9(P<0.001).[Conclusions]AST promotes autophagy of astrocytes and inhibits their apoptosis in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of CFA mice.
