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 gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

ObjectiveTo investigate the novel post-translational modifications (PTMs) of SnRK2.6, a central component in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway, such as SUMOylation, and to establish a foundation for revealing the physiological functions and molecular mechanisms of SnRK2.6 regulated by these new modifications. MethodsThe interaction between SnRK2.6 and the SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1, as well as members of the SUMO protease family, was examined using yeast two-hybrid and in vitro pull-down assays. An in vitro SUMOylation system in Escherichia coli was utilized to determine whether SnRK2.6 undergoes SUMOylation. Mass spectrometry, combined with site-directed mutagenesis of candidate lysine residues, was employed to identify potential SUMOylation sites on SnRK2.6. In vitro de-SUMOylation assays were performed to assess whether SUMO proteases interacting with SnRK2.6 could catalyze the removal of SUMO moieties from modified SnRK2.6. The protein stability of SnRK2.6 was assessed in a cell-free degradation assay using bacterial-purified SnRK2.6 incubated with total protein extracts from Col and siz1 mutant seedlings. To dissect the genetic relationship between SnRK2.6 and SIZ1, stomatal aperture assays were performed under ABA treatment using snrk2.6, siz1, and snrk2.6 siz1 double mutant plants. ResultsSnRK2.6 physically interacts with SIZ1 and the SUMO protease ESD4, with the binding domains localized to the C-terminal region of SIZ1 and the N-terminal region of ESD4, respectively. SnRK2.6 was found to be SUMOylated, exhibiting two distinct high-molecular-mass bands ranging from 70 to 100 ku, indicative of modified forms. Bioinformatics analysis predicted four putative SUMOylation sites on lysine residues K57, K63, K142, and K190. Mass spectrometry identified three SUMOylation sites on K63, K142, and K174. However, individual or combinatorial point mutations on these sites had minimal impact on the pattern or intensity of SUMOylation signals, suggesting that these residues may not be responsible for the SUMOylation on SnRK2.6. Instead, such mutations only weaken the protein stability or accelerate the protein mobility of SnRK2.6. Therefore, the exact SUMOylation sites on SnRK2.6 remain unidentified. In de-SUMOylation experiments, incubation of GST-ESD4 with SUMOylated SnRK2.6 for 1-2 h led to the near-complete disappearance of both SUMOylated bands. In contrast, neither the GST control nor the catalytically inactive mutant GST-ESD4^C448S exhibited any de-SUMOylation activity. In protein turnover experiments, SnRK2.6 exhibited markedly enhanced half-life in siz1 compared with Col, indicating that SIZ1-dependent SUMOylation promotes SnRK2.6 turnover. Phenotypically, snrk2.6 mutants were completely insensitive to ABA-induced stomatal closure; siz1 mutants displayed pronounced hypersensitivity; and the snrk2.6 siz1 double mutant phenocopied snrk2.6—showing no significant response to ABA beyond that of the snrk2.6 mutant. These data indicate that SIZ1 acts as a negative regulator of ABA-triggered stomatal closure and SnRK2.6 functions as a positive regulator, and the inhibitory activity of SIZ1 is strictly dependent on SnRK2.6, placing SnRK2.6 genetically upstream of SIZ1 in the ABA signaling pathway. ConclusionSnRK2.6 undergoes SUMOylation, although the specific SUMOylation sites have not been defined. SnRK2.6 is dynamically regulated by reversible SUMOylation—catalyzed by SIZ1 and reversed by ESD4—which controls its protein stability. SUMOylation acts as a destabilizing signal for SnRK2.6, and SIZ1 exerts its negative effect on ABA-triggered stomatal closure probably through promoting SnRK2.6 degradation via SUMOylation. These findings uncover SUMOylation as a critical regulatory layer fine-tuning SnRK2.6 abundance in ABA signaling.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of modified jejunostomy in thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for middle and lower esophageal cancer from 2017 to 2023 in Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Anqing Municipal Hospital was performed. The patients from 2017 to 2020 receiving "C+I" in the upper jejunum according to the "C+I" model, with fistula fixed with only two purse-string sutures and the abdominal wall were allocated into a group A. The patients from 2021 to 2023, on the basis of "C+I" suture, with the jejunum and abdominal wall fixed with 3-0 absorbable thread for 1-2 needles at the proximal or distal end of the fistula 10-15 mm, and the upper jejunum and abdominal wall fixed into "curtain" were allocated into a group B. The operation time, jejunostomy time, postoperative pathological stage, and enteral nutrition-related complications such as the incidence of incomplete intestinal obstruction, closed loop intestinal obstruction and intestinal volvulus requiring secondary surgery, skin redness and swelling of intestinal fluid leakage, stoma tube blockage, and accidental extubation were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 243 patients were enrolled in this study. The group A consisted of 118 patients (72 males, 46 females) with a mean age of (64.58±6.30) years. The group B consisted of 125 patients (76 males, 49 females) with a mean age of (65.11±6.81) years. All patients successfully underwent thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy without perioperative mortality. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in operative time, jejunostomy creation time, or the rate of feeding tube occlusion (P>0.05). However, statistical differences were observed in the incidence of incomplete intestinal obstruction (P=0.035) and closed-loop intestinal obstruction requiring reoperation (P=0.017). The incidence of complications at the stoma site, such as intestinal fluid leakage and redness/swelling, was significantly higher in the group A (n=36) than that in the group B (n=7) (P<0.001). Conclusion The modified jejunostomy can significantly reduce the incomplete intestinal obstruction, closed loop intestinal obstruction and secondary operation rate after "C+I" jejunostomy, and significantly improve the leakage of intestinal fluid at the stoma and the injury of surrounding skin and soft tissue. Improvements in certain technologies reduce operational difficulties.

Collagen is a major structural protein in the matrix of animal cells and the most widely distributed and abundant functional protein in mammals. Collagen’s good biocompatibility, biodegradability and biological activity make it a very valuable biomaterial. According to the source of collagen, it can be broadly categorized into two types: one is animal collagen; the other is recombinant collagen. Animal collagen is mainly extracted and purified from animal connective tissues by chemical methods, such as acid, alkali and enzyme methods, etc. Recombinant collagen refers to collagen produced by gene splicing technology, where the amino acid sequence is first designed and improved according to one’s own needs, and the gene sequence of improved recombinant collagen is highly consistent with that of human beings, and then the designed gene sequence is cloned into the appropriate vector, and then transferred to the appropriate expression vector. The designed gene sequence is cloned into a suitable vector, and then transferred to a suitable expression system for full expression, and finally the target protein is obtained by extraction and purification technology. Recombinant collagen has excellent histocompatibility and water solubility, can be directly absorbed by the human body and participate in the construction of collagen, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell growth, wound healing and site filling, etc., which has demonstrated significant effects, and has become the focus of the development of modern biomedical materials. This paper firstly elaborates the structure, type, and tissue distribution of human collagen, as well as the associated genetic diseases of different types of collagen, then introduces the specific process of producing animal source collagen and recombinant collagen, explains the advantages of recombinant collagen production method, and then introduces the various systems of expressing recombinant collagen, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, and finally briefly introduces the application of animal collagen, focusing on the use of animal collagen in the development of biopharmaceutical materials. In terms of application, it focuses on the use of animal disease models exploring the application effects of recombinant collagen in wound hemostasis, wound repair, corneal therapy, female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD), vaginal atrophy (VA) and vaginal dryness, thin endometritis (TE), chronic endometritis (CE), bone tissue regeneration in vivo, cardiovascular diseases, breast cancer (BC) and anti-aging. The mechanism of action of recombinant collagen in the treatment of FPFD and CE was introduced, and the clinical application and curative effect of recombinant collagen in skin burn, skin wound, dermatitis, acne and menopausal urogenital syndrome (GSM) were summarized. From the exploratory studies and clinical applications, it is evident that recombinant collagen has demonstrated surprising effects in the treatment of all types of diseases, such as reducing inflammation, promoting cell proliferation, migration and adhesion, increasing collagen deposition, and remodeling the extracellular matrix. At the end of the review, the challenges faced by recombinant collagen are summarized: to develop new recombinant collagen types and dosage forms, to explore the mechanism of action of recombinant collagen, and to provide an outlook for the future development and application of recombinant collagen.

Objective To explore the optimal warning threshold of motor evoked potentials(MEP)in decompression surgery for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL)at cervical and thoracic segments,and the predictive role of different MEP parameters on postoperative lower extremity motor function.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 227 patients diagnosed with cervical or thoracic OPLL and underwent decompression surgery from January 2022 to January 2024 in the hospital.There were 131 males and 96 females,with an average age of(60±10)years.All patients underwent continuous neuro-physiological monitoring during the operation,and the minimum ratio of MEP amplitude change to the baseline at the beginning of the operation(Dmax)and the ratio of MEP terminal amplitude change to the baseline at the end of the operation(Dend)were recorded.The correlations between these two ratios and the lower extremity motor func-tion immediately after the operation and at 1 year were compared.According to the Medical Research Council muscle strength score(MRC)standard,a postoperative score increase of≥1 point compared to preoperative was defined as postoperative motor dysfunction.Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the correlations between Dmax and Dend and the lower extremity motor function immediately after the operation and at 1 year.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn to predict postoperative lower extremity motor dysfunc-tion using Dmax and Dend.Results Among the 227 patients,186 had cervical OPLL and 41 had thoracic OPLL.The incidence of lower extremity motor dysfunction immediately after the operation and at 1 year was 7 cases(3.76%)and 2 cases(1.08%)in the cervical group,and 9 cases(21.95%)and 3 cases(7.32%)in the thoracic group,respectively.The incidence of lower extremity motor dysfunction in the thoracic group was higher than that in the cervical group(P<0.001).The baseline induction rate of bilateral lower extremity MEPs was 98.92%(368/372)in the cervical group and 96.34%(79/82)in the thoracic group.The Pearson correlation coefficients of Dend with the bilateral lower extremity motor function immediately after the operation in the cervical and thoracic groups were both greater than those of Dmax,and the differences were statistically significant(cervical group:r=0.669,0.517,P=0.001 2;thoracic group:r=0.882,0.727,P=0.003 6),while the differences in the Pearson corre-lation coefficients of Dend and Dmax with the bilateral lower extremity motor function at 1 year were not statistically significant(cervical group:r=0.457,0.352,P=0.088;thoracic group:r=0.760,0.625,P=0.098).The cut-off values of Dend for the cervical group were 0.853 immediately after the operation and at 1 year,and the cut-off values of Dmax were 0.881 and 0.978,respectively.For the thoracic group,the cut-off values of Dend were 0.532 immediately after the operation and 0.639 at 1 year,and the cut-off values of Dmax were 0.532 and 0.640,respec-tively.Conclusions In OPLL surgery,the MEP monitoring strategy should be adjusted according to the surgical segment.For the cervical segment,Dmax should be emphasized to balance high sensitivity and specificity,while for the thoracic segment,Dmax or Dend can be flexibly selected.Higher MEP warning thresholds are required for cervical OPLL surgery(Dmax:0.881 immediately after the operation and 0.978 at 1 year;Dend:0.853),while significantly lower thresholds are needed for thoracic OPLL(Dmax/Dend:0.532 immediately after the operation and 0.640 at 1 year).

Aim To explore the therapeutic effects of resveratrol(Res)on hepatic inflammation and oxida-tive stress in rheumatoid arthritis(RA),and to eluci-date the relationship of the regulatory mechanism of the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway in it.Methods A mouse model of arthritis was induced using chicken type Ⅱ collagen in combination with complete Freund's adjuvant,and Res was administered by tube feeding for treatment.Serum liver function indices and levels of hepatic inflammation and oxidative stress were detected in mice.An in vitro cellular model of hepatic inflam-mation and oxidative stress was established by treating mouse primary hepatocytes(MPHs)with TNF-α(5μg·L-1),cell proliferation inhibition was detected by CCK-8,and inflammation and oxidative stress-relat-ed indices were detected by protein blotting.The in-trinsic mechanisms by which Res attenuated hepatic in-flammation and oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis were explored by treating MPHs with Nrf2 inhibitor and Keap1 overexpression plasmid.Results Res signifi-cantly reduced the levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in hepatic tissues of collagen-induced arthritis mice as well as TNF-α-treated MPHs,and activated the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway.Inflammation and oxidative stress levels in MPHs were exacerbated by the use of Nrf2 inhibitors and Keap1 overexpression,which promoted apoptosis.Conclusion Res attenuates he-patic inflammation and oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis via the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and preliminary clinical experience of robot-assisted pelvic exenteration (PE) in the treatment of locally advanced (LARC) and recurrent (LRRC) rectal cancer.Method:A descriptive case series research method was adopted. Inclusion criteria included: (1) Age 18-80 years old; (2) Preoperative puncture biopsy performed through endoscopy, and a pathological diagnosis of rectal malignant tumor; (3) Preoperative imaging examinations confirming locally advanced (cT4b stage) or locally recurrent rectal cancer, with tumor location in the pelvic cavity; (4) Physical condition: ECOG score ≤1 point, and radical resection being feasible after assessment. The data for five patients with LARC or LRRC who underwent pelvic exenteration (PE) using the da Vinci robotic surgical system in the Department of Anorectal Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University (Shanghai Changzheng Hospital) from January, 2024 to January, 2025 were collected retrospectively. The mean age was (46.8±7.7) years, with 3 males and 2 females, who comprised 2 cases of LARC and 3 cases of LRRC. Two patients received preoperative radiotherapy, and 4 patients received preoperative chemotherapy. The average body mass index was (21.5±2.7) kg/m2. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, 2 cases were grade II and 3 cases were grade III.Results:All patients with LARC or LRRC successfully underwent robot-assisted PE. The average operation time was (496.4±139.5) minutes; the average intraoperative blood loss was (72.0±29.5) ml; the average postoperative exhaust time was (50.0 ±13.6) hours; and the average postoperative defecation time was(64.2±15.3) hours. Mean early postoperative VAS pain scores was (3.6±1.5) points. Three patients underwent primary intestinal anastomosis, and 2 patients underwent colonic single-lumen ostomy. All 5 patients underwent urinary system reconstruction, among which 2 underwent ureterovesical reimplantation, 1 underwent percutaneous ureterostomy, 1 underwent ileal conduit replacement of bladder, and 1 underwent direct bladder suture. After surgery, except for 1 case of pelvic infection with effusion (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa), there were no obvious postoperative complications. Postoperative pathological results showed that all patients achieved R0 resection, including 1 case of T4a stage and 4 cases of T4b stage (all involving urogenital organs or tissues), and 3 cases of N0 stage and 2 cases of N1 stage, with a maximum tumor diameter of (4.7±1.9) cm. The median postoperative follow-up time was 11 (range 7 to 17) months, and no patient experienced local recurrence.Conclusion:The above short-term preliminary results of robot-assisted PE in the treatment of LARC or LRRC within the pelvic cavity indicate that it is both safe and feasible.

OBJECTIVE To establish a combined pharmacokinetic(PK)-pharmacodynamic(PD)model for knee osteoarthritis(KOA)of crossbow drug microemulsion multi-components(benzoylmesaconine,benzoylhypacoitine,mesaconitine,periplocin,neo-chlorogenic acid,vanillic acid,chlorogenic acid),and elucidate the dynamic changes in the KOA rats and the interrelation with the e-lapsed efficacy of the drug.METHODS A KOA rat model was induced by 4%papain;the PK process of crossbow medicine microe-mulsion components in rat synovial fluid was analyzed by UPLC to establish a PK model;the contents of MMP-3,MMP-13,TNF-α and IL-1β in KOA rats at different time points after administration were determined by ELISA analysis to establish a PD model;Phoe-nix WinNonlin software was used to fit the PK and PD data to obtain a PK-PD model.RESULTS PK results showed that the multi-components of the microemulsion were slowly absorbed in the joint cavity and gradually reached the peak value within 3-5 h.The Cmax of benzoylmesaconine,benzoylhypacoitine mesaconitine,periplocoside,neochlorogenic acid,vanillic acid and chlorogenic acid were 1.23,1.48,1.62,4.67,0.93,1.25 and 2.35 μg·mL-1,respectively;the area under the drug-time curve(AUC0-11)was 2.58,4.04,3.54,12.15,2.51,2.41 and 4.11 h·μg·mL-1,respectively.PD results showed that at different time points after adminis-tration,the contents of MMP-3,IL-1β,TNF-α,and MMP-13 decreased to varying degrees,among which MMP-3 decreased insig-nificantly,with significant differences only at 6 h;the contents of the remaining IL-1β,TNF-α,and MMP-13 decreased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),and showed the phenomenon of lagged efficacy;the PK-PD binding model showed that the drug concentration of the multi-component drug in the crossbow medicine microemulsion could be well fitted with its drug efficacy data.CONCLUSION The established PK-PD binding model can predict the drug efficacy changes after administration,and provides a corresponding refer-ence for the crossbow medicine microemulsion treatment of KOA.
