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.

International Eye Science 2025;25(1):50-54
Correcting high myopia has always been challenging in clinical practice. For patients with high myopia, the implantation of an implantable collamer lens(ICL)has become the main treatment option. Recent studies have shown that ICL implantation is effective not only for correcting moderate-to-high myopia but is also increasingly used for mild-to-moderate myopia. Furthermore, ICL implantation can address difficult refractive problems and can be combined with corneal refractive surgery to extend the range of correction. ICL implantation offers a wide range of corrections, good postoperative visual quality, high predictability, reversibility, and preservation of the natural accommodative capacity. It is gradually demonstrating its unique advantages in clinical practice. Postoperative complicated cataract is a common cause of visual impairment, and severe cases may require secondary surgery. The design, material, and vault of the ICL, along with patient-specific factors, are related to the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts after ICL implantation. The purpose of this article is to review the updates and iterations in ICL design, the mechanism of postoperative complicated cataracts, and their prevention.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and management measures of multiple immune- related adverse event (irAE) after toripalimab treatment, in order to provide reference for the clinical management of similar cases. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a post-operative bladder cancer patient who developed various irAEs after toripalimab treatment. The patient’s medical history, laboratory tests, imaging studies, treatment course and outcomes were detailed. The Naranjo scale was used to assess the relationship between the irAEs and toripalimab. RESULTS The patient developed irAEs after receiving toripalimab, such as immune-related myocarditis, liver dysfunction, and myasthenia. According to the Naranjo scale evaluation, it was assessed that these adverse events were related to the administration of toripalimab. After high- dose corticosteroid pulse therapy and immunoglobulin immunomodulation, the patient’s symptoms were effectively relieved, with a improved trend in various physiological indicators and significant improvement in the degree of system/organ damage. CONCLUSIONS Toripalimab may lead to multiple irAEs, including immune-related myocarditis, liver injury, and myasthenia. Early recognition, timely diagnosis, and appropriate treatment of irAE are crucial for improving patient’s prognosis.

ObjectiveTo explore effect of Xianlian Jiedu prescription on the recurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and investigate the related mechanisms. MethodsA postoperative recurrence model was established in 25 Balb/c mice by injecting CT26 cells subcutaneously into the armpit, followed by surgical removal of 99% of the subcutaneous tumor. The mice were randomly divided into model group, low-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription (XLJDP-L) group (6.45 g·kg-1·d-1), medium-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription (XLJDP-M) group (12.9 g·kg-1·d-1), high-dose Xianlian Jiedu prescription (XLJDP-H) group (25.8 g·kg-1·d-1), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) group (1×10-3 g·kg-1·d-1). The mice were euthanized after 14 days of continuous intervention, and recurrent tumor tissue was harvested. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological and morphological changes in the recurrent tumor tissue. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to assess the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki67), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule (CD31) in recurrent tumor tissue. The Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2), VEGF, phosphorylated-protein kinase B (p-Akt), protein kinase B (Akt), phosphorylated-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (p-PI3K), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in recurrent tumor tissue. ResultsBefore treatment, there were no statistical differences in tumor volume, tumor weight, and body mass among the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group compared to the model group, indicating model stability. After treatment, compared with those in the model group, the tumor volume and tumor weight in the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly reduced (P<0.01), showing dose dependency. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in body weight among the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group compared to the model group. HE staining showed that compared with that in the model group, tumor tissue in the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group had loosely arranged cells, increased intercellular spaces, small and shriveled nuclei, light staining, fewer mitotic figures and atypical nuclei, and increased necrotic areas. IHC showed that compared with those of the model group, the positive rates of Ki67, VEGF, and CD31 in the recurrent tumor tissue of the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly reduced (P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot results showed that compared with those of the model group, the protein expression levels of ANG-2 and VEGF in the recurrent tumor tissue of the XLJDP-L, XLJDP-M, and XLJDP-H groups and the 5-FU group were significantly downregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the p-Akt/Akt and p-PI3K/PI3K ratios were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionXianlian Jiedu prescription significantly inhibits the recurrence of CRC in mice after subcutaneous tumor surgery. The mechanism may involve regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway and downregulating key angiogenic proteins such as ANG-2, VEGF, and CD31.

Malignant tumors are one of the major diseases that endanger human life and health. Chinese medicine has unique advantages in clinical anti-tumor treatment. However, how to translate the anti-tumor effects of Chinese medicine into clinical practice is the core issue that must be addressed in the process of treating malignant tumors with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Unlike modern chemical drugs, the compatibility application of Chinese medicine is the key factor that determines whether Chinese medicine can achieve optimal anti-tumor efficacy and realize the goal of "enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity". The formulation structure based on this compatibility is the basic form for the safe, efficient, and rational clinical use of anti-tumor Chinese medicine, and it mainly includes three categories: herb pairs, tri-herbal combinations, and compound compatibility. Although herb pairs have the characteristics of a simple structure and strong targeting (enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity), they often have a single effect and cannot fully address the complex pathogenesis of tumors. As a result, herb pairs are rarely used alone in practice. Compared to herb pairs, tri-herbal combinations broaden the application scope of herbs in clinical treatment, but their therapeutic range remains limited. The traditional "sovereign, minister, assistant, and guide" compound prescription, which includes herb pairs and tri-herbal combinations, improves the efficacy of herbs in treating serious diseases, hypochondriasis, chronic diseases, and miscellaneous disorders. However, due to the limitations of its historical background, it has not been integrated with modern clinical practice and modern pharmacological research, which restricts the development of compound compatibility theory. With the emergence of modern medical technology, it has been combined with traditional compatibility theory of Chinese medicine to create an innovative modern compatibility theory. This includes the "aid medicine" theory derived from modern Chinese medicine pharmacology, which compensates for the inability of the "sovereign, minister, assistant, and guide" theory to accurately apply medicine. Additionally, the "state-targeted treatment based on syndrome differentiation" theory, developed from pharmacology and modern medicine, addresses the deficiency in disease cognition in the "sovereign, minister, assistant, and guide" theory. Under the guidance of these compatibility forms and theories, clinical anti-tumor Chinese medicine can exert its maximum anti-tumor efficacy, which is of great significance for the application of Chinese medicine in clinical tumor treatment.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of aplastic anemia (AA)/pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) induced by pembrolizumab, and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. METHODS Using search terms as “pembrolizumab”, “keytruda”, “anemia” and “aplastic anemia” in both Chinese and English, the literature related to AA/PRCA induced by pembrolizumab were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases, and then analyzed descriptively and statistically. RESULTS A total of 10 patients were included from 10 literature; among these 10 patients, there were 5 males and 5 females, with 5 patients being aged 65 or above. The primary disease was mainly metastatic melanoma (4 cases). AA/PRCA occurred 13 d-3 years after the first dose of pembrolizumab. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue, dyspnea, oral/nasal bleeding, diffuse purpura, etc.; 8 cases developed moderate anemia and 2 cases developed severe anemia. After discontinuation and receiving supportive therapy, 5 cases improved, 1 case worsened in anemia, and 4 cases died. CONCLUSIONS When using pembrolizumab in clinical practice, blood routine should be regularly monitored. When AA/PRCA and other related symptoms occur, pembrolizumab should be stopped in time and a therapy regimen should be formulated according to the patient’ condition, to ensure the safety of medication.

Objective To elucidate the causal relationships between colorectal cancer (CRC) and prevalent psychiatric disorders through a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach. Methods Utilizing publicly available genome-wide association study data, we explored the connections between CRC and various psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. We applied three statistical analyses: inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger, and median weighting. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to ensure the reliability and validity of the results. Results Inverse variance weighting analysis showed no significant links between CRC and depression (P=0.090), anxiety (P=0.099), or schizophrenia (P=0.899). Conversely, a significant inverse relationship was found with bipolar disorder (P=0.010). Conclusion No causal connection exists between CRC and the psychiatric conditions of depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. However, CRC may have a causal association with a reduced risk of bipolar disorder, further supporting the existence of the gut-brain axis.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) induced by oral anticoagulants (OACs), and provide a reference for clinical safety of drug use. METHODS Case reports of SCARs caused by OACs (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran etexilate) were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and other databases with search terms as “oral anticoagulants”“factor Ⅹa inhibitor”“direct thrombin inhibitor” and their Chinese equivalents. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 11 articles were included, involving 11 patients in total, among whom there were 5 males (45.5%) and 6 females (54.5%), with an average age of (59.6±21.5) years. The primary underlying diseases were mainly atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, joint replacement and valve replacement. The OACs involved included warfarin in 3 cases, rivaroxaban in 4 cases, apixaban in 2 cases, and dabigatran etexilate in 2 cases. SCARs occurred from 10 hours to 42 days after treatment, and 7 cases (63.6%) within 10 to 28 days. Among 11 patients, 5 cases were diagnosed as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, 4 cases were diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and 2 cases were diagnosed as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. The clinical manifestations mainly included rash, fever and mucosal damage, etc. Except for 1 patient who died of sepsis and diffuse intravascular coagulation, the rest of the patients improved or recovered after withdrawal and treatment with glucocorticoids. CONCLUSIONS SCARs are rare but serious adverse reactions caused by OACs, typically occurring 10 to 28 days after medication. Once SCARs are suspected to be caused by OACs, the medication should be discontinued immediately, and a treatment plan should be formulated based on the type of SCARs to ensure the safety of patients’ drug use.

Hemolysis is one of the main complications associated with the use of ventricular assist devices. The primary factors influencing hemolysis include the shear stress and exposure time experienced by red blood cells. In addition, factors such as local negative pressure and temperature may also impact hemolysis. The different combinations of hemolysis prediction models and their empirical constants lead to significant variations in prediction results; compared to the power-law model, the OPO model better accounts for the complexity of turbulence. In terms of improving hemolytic performance, research has primarily focused on optimizing blood pump structures, such as adjustments to pump gaps, impellers, and guide vanes. A small number of scholars have studied hemolytic performance through control modes of blood pump speed and the selection of blood-compatible materials. This paper reviews the main factors influencing hemolysis, prediction methods, and improvement strategies for rotary blood pumps, which are currently the most widely used. It also discusses the limitations in current hemolysis research and provides an outlook on future research directions.
