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 summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) and improve the recognition of this disease. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations and genetic testing results of 29 children with SRS diagnosed at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University between March 2016 and June 2025. RESULTS: The 29 children had included 18 boys and 11 girls, with the age ranging from 2 months to 16 years. Their primary clinical manifestations included postnatal growth retardation (100%), small for gestational age (SGA) (100%), characteristic facial features (90%), limb asymmetry (83%), feeding difficulties (76%), ulnar deviation of the fifth finger (69%), body mass index (BMI) of < -2 SD (62%), and abnormal bone age (55%), including 15 cases with delayed bone age for an average of 1.5 years and 1 case with advanced bone age for 2.5 years. Additional manifestations included abnormal sexual development in 11 cases (38%), dental malocclusion in 11 cases (38%), allergic diseases in 10 cases (34%), cardiac diseases in 9 cases (31%), skeletal abnormalities in 7 cases (24%), renal hypoplasia in 5 cases (17%), and abnormal cranial MRI findings in 5 cases (17%). Twenty children were treated with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) at a dose of 0.1 ~ 0.15 U/(kg.d). Among them, 7 cases achieved annual height increase of ≥ 10 cm, 11 cases achieved annual height increase of ≥ 5 ~ 9 cm, and 2 cases achieved annual height increase < 5 cm. Twenty three children exhibited hypomethylation of imprinted genes in the chromosome region of 11p15, 4 presented maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 [UPD(7)mat], and 2 had harbored nonsense variants of the HMGA2 gene. CONCLUSION SRS patients may present with diverse clinical manifestations including postnatal growth retardation, SGA, characteristic facial features, limb asymmetry, feeding difficulties, and ulnar deviation of the fifth finger. Most patients may exhibit abnormal methylation in the 11p15 region. rhGH therapy can improve the height of these patients.

Objective To construct and compare logistic regression and decision tree models for predicting systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after interventional surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of TBAD patients at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2020 to 2024. The patients were divided into a SIRS group and a non SIRS group based on whether SIRS occurred within 24 hours after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SIRS occurrence in TBAD intervention patients, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS Modeler to compare the predictive performance of the two models. Results A total of 742 patients with TBAD were included, including 579 males and 163 females, aged 27-97 (58.85±10.79) years. Within 24 hours after intervention, a total of 506 patients developed SIRS, with an incidence rate of 68.19%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the extensive involvement of the dissection, the surgical time≥2 hours, PET coated stents implanted, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, monocyte (MONO), neutrophil count levels elevated, estimated glomerular filtration rate and decreased albumin levels were independent risk factors for SIRS (P<0.05). The decision tree model selected a total of 10 explanatory variables and 6 layers with 37 nodes, among which MONO was the most important predictor. The area under the decision tree model curve was 0.829 [95%CI (0.800, 0.856)], which was better than the logistic regression model's 0.690 [95%CI (0.655, 0.723)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of SIRS after TBAD intervention is high, and the decision tree model has better predictive performance than logistic regression. It can identify high-risk patients with higher accuracy and provide a practical tool for early clinical intervention.

Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics of gouty arthritis in Northwest China from 2023 to 2025, and to formulate preventive intervention measures. Methods By retrospectively analyzing the case data of medical institutions in Northwest China from January 2023 to June 2025 (a total of 8 139 cases), the incidence trend and population distribution characteristics of gouty arthritis in this area were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. Results From 2023 to 2025, the prevalence rate of gouty arthritis in adult residents in Northwest China was 3.74% (304/8 139). Among the sites affected by gouty arthritis, the metatarsophalangeal joint accounted for the highest proportion (P<0.05). From the perspective of age distribution, the prevalence rate was the highest in 40-59 years old group (5.90%), followed by 66-80 years old group (4.21%) and >80 years old group (2.75%). The incidence rate in 40-65 years old group was higher than that in the other age groups (P<0.05). High blood uric acid and creatinine, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome were risk factors affecting gouty arthritis in Northwest China (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood uric acid level, high creatinine level, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are risk factors influencing gouty arthritis in Northwest China. Based on the above factors, this study proposes comprehensive prevention strategies from the individual, community and public health levels to provide a scientific basis for reducing the incidence rate of gouty arthritis.

Objective: To assess the status of sexual behaviors, HIV/AIDS knowledge awareness, and novel synthetic drug use among school attending young students in Guangdong Province, so as to provide evidence base for formulating targeted intervention strategies. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sampling method was employed to conduct an anonymous online survey among 41 119 students from 20 higher education institutions and vocational colleges in Guangdong Province. Chi square test was utilized for rate comparisons and univariate analysis, and a multivariate Logistic regression model was applied to analyze factors associated with novel synthetic drug use. Results: The self reported rate of sexual behavior was 5.2%. Among sexually active students, the rates of unprotected sexual intercourse, having temporary sexual partners, and having commercial sexual partners were 32.4%, 34.5%, and 26.3%, respectively. The awareness rate of HIV related knowledge was 75.7%. The overall use rate of novel psychoactive substances(NPS) was 1.0%, and among sexually active students it was 6.5%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students with sexual experience ( OR =4.15) and those with HIV testing history ( OR =9.38) had higher risks of NPS use; among sexually active students, those with unprotected sexual intercourse ( OR =6.83) and those with commercial sexual partners ( OR = 4.68 ) had higher risks of NPS use (all P <0.05). Conclusions The HIV/AIDS knowledge level among surveyed students needs further improvement, and high risk sexual behaviors are cross linked with novel synthetic drug use. It is recommended to carry out integrated health education for all students and implement comprehensive targeted interventions for sexually active students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Jianpi Xiao'ai prescription （JPXAP） inhibits colorectal cancer progression by regulating the inducible nitric oxide synthase-arginase 1 （iNOS-ARG1） metabolic axis and inducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species （mito-ROS）-mediated mitochondrial structural and functional impairment. MethodsAn arginine metabolism disorder model of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells was established by combined treatment with recombinant human interferon-γ （IFN-γ， 10 μg·L^-1） and N（ω）-hydroxy-L-arginine （Nor-NOHA， 200 μmol·L^-1） for 24 h， followed by intervention with 5%， 10%， or 20% JPXAP-containing serum. Cell proliferation was assessed using cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8）， 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine （EdU） staining， and colony formation assays. Cell invasion and migration were evaluated using Transwell chamber and wound healing assays. Mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） and ROS levels were assessed by JC-1 and MitoSOX staining， respectively. Mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression of iNOS， ARG1， and mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins， including mitofusin 2 （MFN2） and dynamin-related protein 1 （DRP1）， was analyzed by Western blot and immunofluorescence. The levels of L-arginine， citrulline， and urea were determined by colorimetric methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited significantly upregulated iNOS expression， downregulated ARG1 expression， a decreased ARG1/iNOS ratio， reduced L-arginine and urea levels， and increased citrulline levels （P<0.05）. Meanwhile， mito-ROS accumulation was significantly increased， the JC-1 red/green fluorescence ratio was decreased， and mitochondria showed swelling and cristae disruption， indicating that metabolic disorder induced mitochondrial injury. Compared with the model group， all JPXAP-treated groups further decreased the ARG1/iNOS ratio， enhanced nitric oxide （NO） and reactive nitrogen species accumulation， further reduced L-arginine and urea levels， and increased citrulline levels （P<0.01）. EdU-positive rate， colony formation rate， wound healing rate， and Transwell invasion number all decreased significantly with increasing serum concentration （P<0.01）. Mito-ROS levels were further elevated， and the JC-1 red/green ratio further decreased. TEM revealed aggravated mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization. MFN2 expression was downregulated and DRP1 expression was upregulated （P<0.01），in a dose-dependent manner. ConclusionJPXAP further activates NO-mediated oxidative/nitrosative stress under arginine metabolism imbalance， inducing mito-ROS accumulation， MMP collapse， and mitochondrial dynamics imbalance， thereby inhibiting colorectal cancer cell proliferation and migration. These findings reveal an antitumor mechanism of JPXAP based on coordinated targeting of the "metabolism-mitochondria" axis.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.

Objective To explore the barriers to postoperative self-management behaviors in patients with pituitary adenoma and provide a theoretical basis for developing nursing intervention strategies.Methods Using a purposive sampling method,16 postoperative pituitary adenoma patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Zhengzhou from July 2024 to January 2025 were selected for semi-structured interviews.The interview data were analyzed and refined through Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method.Results A total of 4 themes and 12 subthemes were extracted,including postoperative physiological dysfunction(sensory dysfunction,difficulty in managing diabetes insipidus,fatigue syndrome),psychosocial adaptation barriers(self-image distress,fear of disease recurrence,restricted information delivery),challenges in maintaining health behaviors(environment-behavior conflicts,insufficient adherence to medication and activity guidelines,inadequate complication management),deficiencies in support systems(non-specific postoperative guidance,poor communication channels,insufficient coordination of medical resources).Conclusion Postoperative self-management behaviors in pituitary adenoma patients are influenced by multidimensional factors,necessitating comprehensive intervention strategies addressing physiological,psychological,behavioral,and systemic support levels.

his cross-sectional study employed convenience sampling to enroll 1 994 community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥65 years) undergoing health examinations at a Guangzhou community hospital between January and December 2024, aiming to investigate associations between blood lipid profiles and cognitive impairment. Cognitive function was assessed using the AD8 scale, with demographic characteristics (age, sex, education, occupation), health status (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), and lifestyle factors (smoking/alcohol use) collected via questionnaires. Fasting blood samples quantified triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Propensity score matching (PSM) balanced baseline characteristics between lipid-level groups. Pre-PSM analyses revealed significant intergroup differences: TG groups differed in sex, BMI, alcohol use, hypertension, and self-rated health ( P<0.05); TC groups in sex, age, occupation, diabetes, and hypertension; LDL-C groups in sex, age, occupation, diabetes, hypertension, and daily living ability; HDL-C groups in sex, age, education, occupation, BMI, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension. Post-PSM adjustment eliminated baseline differences ( P>0.05). Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors demonstrated that elevated TG levels conferred a 48% reduced risk of cognitive dysfunction [ OR (95% CI): 0.52 (0.29-0.94)], whereas TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C showed no significant associations (all P>0.05). These findings suggest an inverse association between higher triglyceride levels and cognitive dysfunction risk in older adults, highlighting TG′s potential protective role in cognitive health.

This paper comprehensively compares the Kawasaki disease (KD) guidelines from seven countries/regions, including China, Argentina, Europe, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the United States, as retrieved from the PubMed database. It analyzes the similarities and differences in KD diagnosis and treatment among these guidelines. The results show that all guidelines consistently recommend a single infusion of immunoglobulin at a dosage of 2 g/kg as the first-line treatment for KD, and none advocate for the routine use of methylprednisolone or prednisone as standalone first-line treatment options for KD. However, there are some differences among the guidelines regarding classification, diagnostic criteria, and specific treatment methods for KD. Therefore, it is essential to further strengthen international collaboration in guideline development and conduct multicenter clinical research in the future, aiming to achieve a higher level of expert consensus, thereby promoting the enhancement of KD diagnosis and treatment.
