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.

AIM: To compare the control effect of spherical and toric orthokeratology on low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC)in adolescents.METHODS: The clinical data of 119 cases(119 eyes)of low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC)adolescents who were treated and fitted with orthokeratology in the ophthalmology department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2021 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into spherical group, with 65 cases(65 eyes), and toric group, with 54 cases(54 eyes)according to the type of orthokeratology. The changes of uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), axial length and corneal astigmatism before and after wearing lenses were recorded to evaluate the therapeutic effect.RESULTS: The UCVA of both the groups significantly improved at 1 and 2 a after wearing lenses(all P<0.01); corneal astigmatism decreased, but there was no significant difference(all P>0.05); the axial length was longer than that before wearing lenses(P<0.01). There were no statistical significant differences in the UCVA and corneal astigmatism between the spherical group and the toric group(Fintergroup=0.829,Pintergroup=0.364; Fintergroup=0.997,Pintergroup=0.320); and there were no statistical significant differences in the axial length growth between the spherical group and the toric group after wearing lenses for 1 a(0.18±0.11 mm vs 0.17±0.14 mm), and 2 a(0.17±0.10 mm vs 0.16±0.10 mm; all P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Both orthokeratology lenses can improve the UCVA, reduce corneal astigmatism, and delay axial length growth of adolescents with low-to-moderate myopia with astigmatism(-1.00--1.50 DC), and there are no significant differences in the control effect of spherical design orthokeratology and the toric design orthokeratology on myopia.

Purpose To explore the value of contrast-enhanced CT habitat imaging(HI)in preoperative non-invasive visualization for predicting pathological grading of clear cell renal carcinoma(ccRCC).Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on enhanced CT images and clinical data from 240 patients with pathologically confirmed ccRCC at Xijing Hospital,the Fourth Military Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023.All patients were randomly divided into training and test sets at a 7:3 ratio and classified into low-grade group(International Society of Urological Pathology Ⅰ-Ⅱ)and high-grade group(International Society of Urological Pathology Ⅲ-Ⅳ)based on postoperative pathology.Using wash-in and wash-out parametric maps,the tumors were segmented into three perfusion-based habitat subregions(low,medium and high)via K-means clustering,and the volume fraction of each subregion was calculated.Predictive factors were selected from habitat features and clinical variables(including sex,age,tumor size,etc.)using Logistic regression.Three models were constructed:a clinical model,a habitat imaging model and a combined clinical-habitat model.Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve,calibration curve and decision curve analysis.Results Habitat 3 exhibited higher wash-in and wash-out gradients compared to Habitats 1 and 2,indicating hyper perfusion.Its proportion was significantly higher in the low-grade group than in the high-grade group(Z=-7.71,-5.11,both P<0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression identified hypertension,maximum tumor diameter and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio as independent risk factors for high-grade ccRCC,while the proportion of Habitat 3 was a protective factor(OR=0.297,95％CI 0.184-0.479).The combined clinical-habitat model demonstrated the highest predictive performance[area under the curve(AUC)=0.938],significantly outperforming the clinical model(AUC=0.801,Z=-3.832,P<0.01)and the habitat imaging model(AUC=0.895,Z=-2.157,P=0.031).Conclusion The clinical-habitat imaging model achieves the highest predictive performance for ccRCC pathological grading.Contrast-enhanced CT habitat imaging provides significant incremental value in predicting ccRCC pathological grading,showing potential to guide precision medicine in clinical practice.

Results:After treatment, the scores of MMSE (observation group: 26.12±2.24, control group: 23.08±1.56), SFMA(observation group: 24.83±9.02, control group: 17.24±9.51), and MBI(observation group: 68.00±7.03, control group: 49.66±7.98) of both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment(MMSE(observation group: 21.32±2.11, control group: 21.56±1.96), SFMA(observation group: 10.43±8.05, control group: 10.56±7.63), MBI (observation group: 32.34±7.65, control group: 32.00±9.73)), and the differences were all statistically significant ( t=-18.13--2.31, all P<0.05).The scores of MMSE, SFMA, and MBI in observation group were all higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences( t=-4.45, -4.51, -5.59, all P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group had more patients with Brunstrom stage Ⅳ or above in the affected upper limb ( Z=-6.236, P=0.045) and lower limb ( Z=-6.589, P=0.036) compared to the control group. There were more patients in both two groups with grade Ⅳ or above in the affected lower limb than in the affected upper limb ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination of transcranial ultrasound stimulation therapy and low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy can significantly improve cognitive and motor dysfunction in stroke patients. It can be used for the rehabilitation treatment of cognitive and motor dysfunction in stroke patients.

AIM To investigate the impact of varying dosages of Supplemented Wendan Decoction on the PI3K/Akt/FOXO1 glycolipid metabolic pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.METHODS The CCK-8 assay was used to determine the concentration of Supplemented Wendan Decoction-medicated serum.The mature adipocytes differentiated from 3T3-L1 preadipocytes after induction were further divided into the blank control group,the model group,the rosiglitazone group(10 mg/L),and the Supplemented Wendan Decoction groups(5％,10％,and 20％),followed by the sample collections after 48 hours of treatment.Oil red O staining quantified lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes;extracellular glucose levels were measured using glucose oxidase(GOD)assay;RT-qPCR analyzed mRNA expressions of IRS-1,PI3K,Akt,GLUT4,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β;Western blot assessed protein expressions of INSR,IRS-1,PI3K-p85,Akt,FOXO1 and GLUT4.RESULTS No significant changes in cell viability(P＞0.05)were observed in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes exposed to serum containing supplemented Wendan Decoction at different concentrations for 24,48,or 72 hours.The 3T3-L1 preadipocytes held the capacity to differentiate into mature adipocytes within a 14-day induction period.Compared to the model group,all supplemented Wendan Decoction groups exhibited reduced lipid accumulation in adipocytes and downregulated mRNA expression of IRS-1,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β(P＜0.01);the low-dose group demonstrated increased mRNA expressions of PI3K and GLUT4(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),alongside elevated protein expressions of INSR,IRS-1,PI3K-p85,Akt and GLUT4(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);the medium-dose group showed enhanced GLUT4 mRNA expression,and upregulated protein expressions of INSR and FOXO1(P＜0.01).After 24 hours intervention,the high-dose Supplemented Wendan Decoction group exhibited increased glucose consumption in adipocytes(P＜0.01),and elevated protein expression of INSR,Akt and FOXO1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Supplemented Wendan Decoction reduces lipid accumulation in adipocytes,regulates glucose and lipid metabolism,and promotes metabolic homeostasis through PI3K/Akt/FOXO1 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To analyze a strain of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas fulva by whole genome sequencing,investigate the genomic characteristics and analyze the significance in phyletic evolution.METHODS A strain of P.fulva,NY4814,was isolated from the Chinese PLA General Hospital in 2014.The genome sequence data of the strain were obtained after the purification,preservation and whole genome sequencing.The specie of the strain was identified by comparing with average nucleotide identity(ANI);the minimum inhibitory concentra-tions(MIC)of the strains were determined by VITEK2 system.All of the data regarding to the genomic se-quences of P.fulva were downloaded from RefSeq database of National Center of Biotechnology Information(NCBI)to construct the phylogenetic tree.RESULTS The P.fulva NY4814 was resistant to carbapenems and quinolones.The chromosome carried a newly discovered Tn7675 unit transposon,which mediated resistance to aminoglycosides and chloramphenicol.Simultaneously,the plasmid pNY4814-IMP drove the wide dissemination of the blaIMP resistance gene across Pseudomonas species via a highly conserved conjugative and transfer mechanism,and the Tn6485i unit transposon carried by the chromosome mediated the resistance to β-lactams.CONCLUSIONS As one of the potential carriers for the transmission of carbapenems resistance genes and other types of drug re-sistance genes,the P.fulva leads to the infection as a seldom opportunistic pathogen.The genetic structure of NY4814 and its association with genetic evolution of the species are observed in the study,which intensify the un-derstanding of the species and provide theoretical bases for prevention and monitoring of bacterial infections.

After treatment, the observation group had more patients with Brunstrom stage Ⅳ or above in the affected upper limb ( Z=-6.236, P=0.045) and lower limb ( Z=-6.589, P=0.036) compared to the control group. There were more patients in both two groups with grade Ⅳ or above in the affected lower limb than in the affected upper limb ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination of transcranial ultrasound stimulation therapy and low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy can significantly improve cognitive and motor dysfunction in stroke patients. It can be used for the rehabilitation treatment of cognitive and motor dysfunction in stroke patients.

Objective To examine the expression levels of inflammatory factors,including IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH,in the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemor-rhage(sICH),and to investigate their associations with disease severity and clinical outcomes.Methods A total of 168 patients with sICH admitted to Tangshan GongRen Hospital between January 2023 and January 2025 were prospectively enrolled as the study group,while 30 non-sICH patients who underwent lumbar puncture during the same period served as the control group.Levels of inflammatory factors in CSF were compared between the two groups.Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed to assess the association between inflammatory factor levels and clinical severity in sICH patients.Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of sICH prognosis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was employed to evaluate the prognostic value of these inflammatory factors in sICH.Results The levels of IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH in the CSF of patients with sICH were significantly higher than those in non-sICH patients(all P<0.05).Furthermore,among sICH patients,these biomarker levels exhibited a graded increase according to disease severity:severe>moderate>mild(all P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between CSF levels of IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH and the NIHSS scores,with correlation coefficients(r)of 0.686,0.553,0.685,0.593,and 0.695,respectively(all P<0.05).When comparing the prognoses of sICH patients,hematoma size,NIHSS score,and CSF levels of IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH were significantly higher in the deceased group than in the survival group(P<0.05),whereas ApoA1 levels were lower in the deceased group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that hematoma size,NIHSS score,and elevated CSF levels of IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH were independent risk factors for mortality in sICH patients(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC values for CSF IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH in predicting sICH prognosis were 0.794,0.754,0.670,0.717,and 0.683,respectively.Notably,the combination of CSF inflammatory markers with hematoma size and NIHSS score yielded an AUC of 0.993,demonstrating significantly greater predictive accuracy than CSF inflammatory markers alone(P<0.05).Conclusions The levels of inflammatory factors in the CSF,including IL-6,IL-10,MMP-9,IL-17A,and LDH,were elevated in patients with sICH and positively correlated with disease severity.Combining CSF inflammatory markers with the NIHSS score and hematoma size improved the predictive accuracy for sICH prognosis.

Purpose To explore the clinical value of screening for partial agenesis of the corpus callosum(PACC)via measuring the distance from the end of the fetal corpus callosum to the occipital bone.Materials and Methods A Prospective study were performed from October 2017 to April 2023 in Ji’an Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital and Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital.A total of 33 PACC fetuses(abnormal group)and 396 normal fetuses(normal group)were selected as the research subjects.The distance(Z value)from the terminal posterior edge of the corpus callosum to the occipital bone was measured,Z value was calculated and compared between groups.The truncation value and related diagnostic efficiency indexes were calculated by receiver operator characteristic curve analysis,and the positive rate of Z value of abnormal group was compared with that of indirect signs.Results The distance from the terminal posterior edge of the corpus callosum to the occipital bone was positively correlated with the gestational age(r=0.913,P<0.001).The best regression equation was that the distance from the terminal posterior edge of the corpus callosum to the occipital bone was 3.879+1.115×gestational age,and the standard deviation was 1.670.The results of mean comparison showed that the Z value of the abnormal group was significantly higher than that of the normal group(t=11.223 9,P<0.001).When Z value 2.199 7 was used as the cut-off value for the diagnosis of PACC,the area under the curve was 0.9981,the Yoden index was 0.959 6,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values were 96.97%,98.99%,88.89%and 99.75%,respectively.The positive rate of Z value in abnormal group was significantly higher than that of indirect signs(96.97%vs.63.64%,χ2=7.692 3,P<0.01).Conclusion The distance from the terminal posterior edge of corpus callosum to the occipital bone of PACC fetus is larger than that of normal fetus.The increase of Z value indicates that the end of corpus callosum moves forward,which can be used as one of the basis for screening PACC,and it has high clinical value when Z value 2.199 7 is used as the cut-off value for PACC screening.

Objective To construct a decision aid scheme for surgical methods of thyroid cancer patients and explore its application effect.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 692 patients with thyroid cancer who were treated in the department of breast and thyroid surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 1 to December 31,2022,patients who underwent surgery from January 1 to June 30,2022 were selected as the control group(n=346),while patients who underwent surgery from July 1 to December 31,2022 were selected as the observation group(n=346).Patients in the control group chose surgical methods after conventional education,while patients in the observation group chose the surgical methods through the decision aid scheme.The decision conflict and decision-making at admission and 1 day before surgery of patients in the two groups were assessed.The psychological state at admission,1 day before surgery,and 1 month after surgery of patients in the two groups were evaluated.The decision satisfaction of patients in the two groups were assessed 1,3,and 6 months after surgery.Results There was no significant difference in the decision conflict score,decision making score or anxiety and depression scores at admission of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).One day before surgery,the decision conflict score of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(t=21.099,P<0.001),and the decision-making score was significantly higher than that in the control group(t=8.806,P<0.001).The anxiety and depression scores of patients in the two groups decreased over time,among which the anxiety and depression scores 1 day before surgery and 1 month after surgery of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The decision satisfaction scores 1,3 and 6 months after surgery of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of decision aid scheme can effectively reduce decision conflicts of patients with thyroid cancer regarding the choice of surgical methods,relieve negative emotions,and enhance decision satisfaction.
