With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

AIM:This study aimed to investigate whether Xiang-Sha-Liujunzi decoction(XSLJZD)prevents ethanol-induced gastric ulcer(GU)in rats by inhibiting nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome activation-mediated pyroptosis.METHODS:A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group,model group,positive control(0.33 mg/kg rabeprazole)group,low-dose(3.40 g/kg)XSLJZD group and high-dose(6.80 g/kg)XSLJZD group,with 12 rats per group.Prior to the induction of GU,all rats received their respective treatments via intragastric gavage for 3 d.The GU model was established in all groups except the normal control group using the anhydrous ethanol method.The ulcer index and ulcer inhibition rate were measured.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe pathological changes of gastric tissues,and periodic acid-Schiff staining was used to evaluate the mucus content.Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were employed to inves-tigate ultrastructural changes of gastric tissues.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to measure the levels of interleukin-4(IL-4),IL-10,IL-1β,IL-18,prostaglandin E2(PGE2)and nitric oxide(NO).Additionally,visible spectrophotometric assay was used to determine the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and superoxide dismutase(SOD).The protein levels of NLRP3,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain(ASC),caspase-1,gasdermin D(GSDMD),phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB(p-NF-κB)and phosphorylated NF-κB inhibitor β(p-IκBβ)were assessed using immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS:Compared with model group,XSLJZD significantly alleviated gastric tissue injury,reduced the ulcer index,and enhanced the ulcer inhibition rate in GU rats.Treatment with XSLJZD markedly increased the levels of SOD,GSH,IL-4,IL-10,PGE2 and NO in gas-tric tissue,but significantly decreased the levels of MDA,IL-1β and IL-18.At the molecular level,XSLJZD significantly down-regulated the protein levels of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1,GSDMD,p-NF-κB and p-IκBβ in gastric tissues.CON-CLUSION:Treatment with XSLJZD demonstrates a significant preventive effect against ethanol-induced GU in rats.Its mechanisms may involve the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation,reduction of the inflammatory response,pre-vention of pyroptosis in gastric mucosal epithelial cells,and enhancement of antioxidant levels.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between folate and thyroid antibody in early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Methods:The data of 97 pregnant women with hypothyroidism from Jul. 2020 to Mar. 2023 in the Obstetrics Department of Liaocheng Second People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The levels of folate, thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were detected in the first trimester. According to whether adverse pregnancy outcome occurred in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, they were divided into occurrence group and non-occurrence group. The clinical data of the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of folic acid, TGAb, TPOAb and their combination on adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Results:Among 97 pregnant women, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was 14.43% (14/97) .The folate level in the occurrence group was lower than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) , and the TGAb and TPOAb levels in the occurrence group were higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) . The occurrence group with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , glutamine transpeptidase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were all higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) .The folate, TGAb, and TPOAb levels were factors influencing adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) values of folate, TGAb, TPOAb and their combined prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy were 0.804, 0.843, 0.799, 0.909 ( P<0.05) , while the combined three with AUC values were higher ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The folate, TGAb and TPOAb levels in early pregnancy can be used to evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes in hypothyroidism pregnant women, and the combination of the three has a higher evaluation value.
