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.

Objective:To analyze vaginal microecological changes in patients with vaginal infectious diseases and their correlation with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.Methods:A case-control study was conducted involving 416 patients who visited the Gynecology Outpatient Department and the Cervical Disease Clinic at Yongkang Maternity and Child Care Hospital between December 2022 and December 2023. All patients underwent testing for vaginal microecology and HPV to evaluate the prevalence of vaginal infectious diseases and HPV infection. Vaginal microecological indicators were compared between patients with vaginal infections and those without identifiable pathogenic bacterial dysbiosis. The indicators included microbial density, lactobacilli levels, pH, hydrogen peroxide levels, abnormal leukocyte esterase, and the grading of vaginal lactobacilli. Additionally, the HPV infection status was compared among patients with different vaginal microecological environments, and the correlation between vaginal infections and HPV infections was analyzed.Results:In a study involving 416 participants, 216 were diagnosed with vaginal infections, with an incidence rate of 51.92% (216/416). Among these cases, 118 were classified as a single infection, accounting for 54.63% (118/216), while 98 were identified as mixed infections, accounting for 45.37% (98/216). The rate of HPV infection among the 216 patients with vaginal infectious diseases was 37.04% (80/216). This rate was significantly higher than the 15.31% (30/196) observed in patients without identifiable pathogenic bacterial dysbiosis ( χ2 = 24.79, P < 0.001). Patients with vaginal infectious diseases also displayed elevated rates of abnormal lactobacilli levels, abnormal pH, abnormal leukocyte esterase, and abnormal lactobacilli grading, with rates of 59.26%, 86.57%, 72.69%, and 57.41%, respectively. In comparison, patients without identifiable pathogenic dysbiosis had rates of 31.12%, 18.88%, 51.53%, and 34.18%, respectively. All differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 32.76, 86.83, 19.64, 22.28, all P < 0.001). Additionally, significant differences in HPV infection rates were observed among patients who tested positive for bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis when compared to those who tested negative ( χ2 = 12.46, 4.04, 6.14, P < 0.001, 0.044, 0.013). Both bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis were recognized as high-risk factors for HPV infection ( OR = 4.039, 2.902, both P < 0.05). Conclusions:Vaginal infectious diseases are significantly linked to HPV infection, particularly bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis. Analyzing the characteristics of the vaginal microbiota can enhance the clinical management of HPV infection.

Objective To study the regulatory effect of Qufeng Xiaodian Formula on serum differential metabolites of allergic purpura,and provide scientific basis for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic purpura in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into a blank control group(referred to as the blank group),a model group,a compound glycyrrhizin group,a low-dose Qu Feng Xiao Dian Fang group,a medium dose Qu Feng Xiao Dian Fang group,and a high-dose Qu Feng Xiao Dian Fang group according to a random number table method,with 10 rats in each group.The model group was constructed by combining dried ginger,pepper,and long pepper with ovalbumin to create an allergic purpura rat model.After successful modeling,each treatment group was intervened with corresponding drugs for 4 weeks.After 4 weeks,serum was collected and non targeted metabolomics screening of serum differential metabolites was performed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometer(UPLC-QTOF/MS).Subsequently,data extraction and multivariate statistical analysis will be conducted to identify potential metabolic pathways.Results Compared with the control group,there were 91 possible differential metabolites in the serum of the model group rats,corresponding to 20 metabolic pathways;Compared with the model group,there were a total of 43 possible differential metabolites in the serum of rats in the wind dispelling and disease eliminating group,corresponding to 15 metabolic pathways.Among them,there are a total of 12 metabolic pathways.Inflammatory metabolites such as arachidonic acid and ceramide can damage vascular endothelium.Ten biomarkers,including arachidonic acid and ceramide,were significantly abnormal in the serum of the model group rats compared to the normal group.The Qufeng Xiaodian formula can significantly reverse these metabolites and significantly enrich them in arachidonic acid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism pathways.Conclusion Qufeng Xiaodian Formula has a certain regulatory effect on metabolites such as arachidonic acid and ceramide that affect vascular endothelial injury.

Aim To investigate the therapeutic effects of a newly developed Tadalafil tablets on pathological myocardial hypertrophy induced by abdominal aortic constriction(AAC)in rats,as well as its influence on the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in myo-cardial cells.Methods SD rats were randomly divid-ed into 4 groups:the sham operation group(Sham),the model group(AAC),the tadalafil new tablet treat-ment group(N-Tad,5 mg·kg-1),and the positive control drug treatment group(Cialis,10 mg·kg-1g).The AAC model group and treatment group rats under-went blunt dissection and constrictive ligation of the abdominal aorta at the left renal artery branch point during surgery,while the Sham group rats only had their arteries separated without any constrictive liga-tion.Rats in the treatment groups received either N-Tad or Cialis via gavage three days after modeling,while rats in the sham group and the model group re-ceived physiological saline daily for 8 weeks.Small an-imal ultra-high-resolution echocardiography and hemo-dynamic assessment were applied to evaluate left ven-tricular function in each group of rats,and the calcula-tion of the left ventricular mass index was conducted.By employing Western blot and RT-PCR.we assessed the impact of this treatment on the expression of the hy-pertrophy factor atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP),phosphorylated NF-κB p65 protein(p-NF-κB p65),and phosphorylated IκB-α in the left heart tissue of rats and in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.Results Compared to the Sham group,the AAC rats exhibited a significant decrease in left heart function,an increase in left ven-tricular mass index,and a notable increase in ANP and p-p65 expression in the left heart tissue(P＜0.05).Both N-Tad and Cialis treatments could significantly enhance left ventricular function,decrease left ventric-ular mass index,and inhibit the expression of ANP and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 in rats with myocardial hy-pertrophy(P＜0.05).Notably,the therapeutic effect of low-dose N-Tad was comparable to that of high-dose Cialis.At the cellular level,Tadalafil significantly in-hibited the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and reduced the expression of associated proteins in H9c2 cardiomyocytes.Conclusions N-Tad can sig-nificantly inhibit p65 and IκB-α phosphorylation,and the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway,reduce ANP expression,and improve pathological myocardial hypertrophy,as well as mitigate left heart function damage caused by abdominal aortic constriction.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the pathogenic factors of retrograde peri-implantitis (RPI) and assess the effectiveness of treatment, and to provide clinicians evidence for the prevention and treatment of RPI.Methods:A total of 2 731 patients with missing teeth (4 016 implants) who underwent implant restoration in the Department of Stomatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between January 2004 and December 2022 were included in the study. According to the diagnostic criteria of RPI, a total of 20 cases (23 implants) of RPI were collected, including 4 female (5 implants) and 16 male (18 implants), and the treatment medical records, intraoral photos and cone beam CT or oral panoramic radiographs records of each patient were collected. Each patient with RPI was treated accordingly and followed up regularly to evaluate its efficacy.Results:After treatment, the follow-up time for 20 patients with clinical symptoms of RPI was 13 (6, 40) months (1 month to 13 years), and the survival rate of the treated implants was 91% (21/23). There were 7 patients (8 implants) with inactive RPI, no clinical symptoms, no loosening of the implant, with normal occlusal load, and the disease was at the inactive stage and was not treated. The pulp vitality of the natural tooth adjacent to the implant was normal, and the implant could function normally. There were 13 patients (15 implants) with infected RPI, 1 patient (1 implant) had no loosening of the implant, and the periapical radiolucency of the implant disappeared after endodontic treatment of the natural tooth adjacent to the implant; 12 patients (14 implants) had clinical symptoms such as implant loosening, pus discharge, etc. Among them, 10 patients (12 implants) were successfully implanted in situ or in adjacent sites after removing the implants, and were successfully implanted after 3 to 20 months. Two patients(2 implants) were removed and no further implants were placed. Among them, 2 implants with infected RPI had cystic lesions, which was similar to natural root apex cysts.Conclusions:The etiology of RPI is related to inflammation of adjacent tooth root tips or bacterial residues from inflammatory lesions in the alveolar bone and bone augmentation. RPI can be treated by perfect root canal treatment of adjacent teeth, removal of inflammatory tissue, or simultaneous guided bone regeneration techniques.

We report a case of anti-IgLON5 disease with a motor neuron disease-like presentation admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University in July 2021. The patient was a 71-year-old female who presented with the chief complaint of limb weakness persisting for 4 months. She showed progressive limb weakness accompanied by muscle atrophy. Electromyography (EMG) revealed extensive neurogenic damage. Initial serum evaluation for neural-specific autoantibodies was positive for IgLON5-Ab (1∶100). Repeat testing confirmed IgLON5-Ab positivity with a titer of 1∶1 000. The patient was diagnosed with anti-IgLON5 disease and treated with methylprednisolone and immunoglobulin, leading to clinical improvement. We found four relevant articles reporting a total of 11 similar cases. Thus, in this study, we analyzed a total of 12 cases, including our patient. Based on their clinical manifestations, these cases can be categorized into two types: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)type and isolated bulbar type. Six cases—three males and three females—presented with the ALS type. Of these, three cases had diffuse limb weakness accompanied by muscle atrophy(two cases had diffuse hyperreflexia and one had a normal tendon reflex); one case presented with neck extensor weakness and bilateral asymmetric upper extremity weakness and was hyperreflexic at the bilateral patellar tendons; one case displayed asymmetric weakness in both lower limbs with normal deep reflexes, and one case exhibited neck weakness with hyperreflexia. EMG revealed diffuse lower motor neuron disease involving two or three regions. All patients tested positive for serum anti-IgLON5 antibodies. Four were also positive for anti-IgLON5 antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid, two were negative, and six were not tested. Among the 11 patients who received immunotherapy, 4 showed partial improvement in clinical symptoms, 2 exhibited transient improvement, 2 remained stable, and 3 showed no improvement. Testing for IgLON5-Ab should be considered among patients presenting with bulbar symptoms or ALS-like features, especially those with acute or subacute onset, rapid progression, autonomic dysfunction, vocal cord paralysis requiring tracheotomy, cognitive impairment, or involuntary movements. Early diagnosis and treatment may improve clinical symptoms and reduce adverse outcomes.

Objective:To improve the understanding of the clinical manifestation of immunoglobulin G 4-related disease (IgG 4-RD) with neurological involvement. Methods:Patients presenting with neurological symptoms and biopsy-confirmed IgG 4-RD were enrolled between March 2014 and March 2024 from the Department of Neurology of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University. Medical record data of all patients were retrospectively reviewed, including clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, radiological results, pathology, treatments, and outcomes. RD were enrolled between March Results:Nine patients (five males, four females; median age at onset: 63 years) were included in the study. Neurological manifestations consisted of pachymeningitis in six cases, peripheral nerve involvement in two, and brain parenchyma involvement in one. Four patients displayed isolated neurologic symptoms. The most common clinical manifestations were headache and cranial nerve palsy, each involving five cases. Magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening and enhancement of the dura mater in the six patients with pachymeningitis. Four of these cases involved the posterior cranial fossa, 3 presented with an inflammatory pseudotumor, and 2 involved the spinal cord. Four patients with pachymeningitis had normal serum IgG 4 concentrations. Eight patients exhibited elevated serum C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rates, with some also showing decreased complement C3 and C4 levels. Cerebrospinal fluid immunoglobulin was elevated in all nine cases. In all cases, histopathologic biopsy results showed extensive infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells, with the latter displaying IgG 4+abnormalities. All patients received glucocorticoid therapy, with six also receiving immunosuppressants. All patients were followed up for a median of 30 months, with outcomes including two complete remissions, five partial remissions, one unchanged condition, and one death. Six patients experienced a relapse. Conclusions:Isolated hypertrophic pachymeningitis is the most common manifestation of IgG 4-RD, often occurring in the absence of elevated serum IgG 4 levels. Peripheral nerve and brain parenchyma involvement can also be seen. Clinical manifestations are non-specific, and histopathologic biopsy is frequently required for diagnosis. Although the disease responds well to hormone treatment, recurrence is common. Early combined immunosuppressive therapy can improve prognosis.

AIM To study the protective effect of Gynura divaricate polysaccharide on gouty nephropathy(GN)induced by dry yeast combined with adenine in rats.METHODS Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,the allopurinol group(42 mg/kg),and the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose G.divaricate polysaccharide groups(140,280,560 mg/kg).All the rats except those of the normal group were induced into GN models by intragastrical dosing of yeast(5 g/kg)and adenine(100 mg/kg)and intervened with corresponding drug administration simultaneously.After 35 days,the rats had their levels of creatinine(Cr)and uric acid(UA)in serum and urine detected and their fraction excretion of uric acid(FEUA)value determined;their kidney mass and volume measured and their levels of kidney index and density calculated;their renal pathological changes checked by HE staining;their renal GLUT9,URAT1,ABCG2 and OAT1 mRNA expressions dectected by RT-qPCR;and their renal GLUT9,URAT1,ABCG2 and OAT1 protein expressions dectected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,each dose of G.divaricate polysaccharide group displayed decreased levels of kidney mass,kidney volume and kidney index(P＜0.01);increased levels of kidney density(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased serum levels of UA and Cr(P＜0.01);increased urine levels of UA and Cr(P＜0.01);increased FEUA value(P＜0.01);decreased GLUT9,URAT1 mRNA and protein expressions(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and increased ABCG2,OAT1 mRNA and protein expressions(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and more alleviated renal histological aberrations.CONCLUSION G.divaricate polysaccharide exerts good protective effects against yeast/adenine-induced GN in rats probably through down-regulating protein expression of GLUT9,URAT1 and up-regulating ABCG2 and OAT1.
