Background:
The hypotension prediction index (HPI) is an algorithm designed to predict hypotension. Some studies have reported that HPI-guided hemodynamic management strategies decrease intraoperative hypotension and complications; however, the effect of HPI on reducing perioperative complications is controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of the HPI in reducing major complications and intraoperative hypotension.
Methods:
We conducted this meta-analysis according to the PRISMA statement and Cochrane Handbook guidelines. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify studies focusing on the efficacy of HPI-guided management in reducing intraoperative hypotension and postoperative complications. The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched, and the resulting data were combined to calculate the pooled mean differences or risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs of both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies, as appropriate. Heterogeneity and potential publication bias were also assessed.
Results:
Nineteen articles (12 RCTs and 7 retrospective studies) with 2570 recruited patients were included in this meta-analysis. The critical evaluation of the study quality revealed a low risk of bias in the included RCTs. Among the non-randomized trials, one was rated 7, two were rated 8, and the remaining four were rated 9 on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, indicating high quality and a low risk of bias. HPI-guided management significantly reduced intraoperative hypotension and associated major complications (RR = 0.79, 95% CI [0.69–0.90], I2 = 0, P < 0.001). Blood loss and length of hospital stay were comparable between the groups.
Conclusions
HPI-guided management significantly reduced intraoperative hypotension and major complications.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo summarize the incidence and clinical features of drug hypersensitivity reactions in children treated with sustained-releasing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), aiming to provide guidance for the safe clinical application of GnRHa in children. MethodsThe medical data of children diagnosed with central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) were retrospectively analyzed, who received GnRHa treatment at the Children's Growth Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 1990 and July 2023. The occurrence of GnRHa-related drug hypersensitivity reactions were summarized, including the incidence and clinical features of systemic reactions and sterile abscesses. ResultsAmong the 1 684 children treated with GnRHa for CPP/EFP, the female-to-male ratio was 3.8∶1. A total of nine children (0.53%) developed 44 occurrences of drug hypersensitivity reactions. Four children (0.24%) presented with sterile abscesses (21 occurrences), and five children (0.30%) experienced systemic hypersensitivity reactions (14 occurrences). Four children were hypersensitive to triptorelin acetate, three were hypersensitive to leuprorelin acetate, and two were hypersensitive to both triptorelin acetate and leuprorelin acetate. The predominant hypersensitivity reactions to leuprorelin acetate were sterile abscesses, observed in four cases (4/277, 1.44%), whereas the main reactions to triptorelin acetate were systemic hypersensitivity reactions, affecting five cases (5/1 501, 0.33%). Case one presented with a severe and complex condition, exhibiting hypersensitivity to multiple GnRHa preparations (sustained-releasing triptorelin, sustained-releasing leuprorelin, and short-acting triptorelin), and presenting with diverse manifestations, including induration, sterile abscesses, systemic hypersensitivity reactions, and even loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to treatment failure. ConclusionsThe proportion of children experiencing drug hypersensitivity reactions to sustained-releasing GnRHa is relatively low at 0.53%, with diverse manifestations. The reactions primarily manifest as sterile abscesses and systemic hypersensitivity reactions, and in severe cases, may lead to treatment failure due to loss of suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Objective Jejunal interposition is an important option for restoring gastrointestinal continuity in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable for reconstruction due to previous gastrectomy, tumor involvement, failed gastric conduit, or other constraints. Although the jejunum offers a caliber similar to the esophagus, a rich blood supply, and preserved peristaltic function, anatomical variations in mesenteric length and vascular arcades render long-segment and high-level reconstruction susceptible to excessive tension, mesenteric torsion, venous congestion, and inadequate distal perfusion. This consensus aims to provide standardized recommendations for the application of jejunal interposition in this specific patient population. Methods This consensus was developed in accordance with the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and Chinese national guideline development standards, with reference to the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Ⅱ(AGREE Ⅱ), Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT), and Scientific, Transparent and Applicable Rankings (STAR) checklists. The project was registered on the international practice guidelines registry platform (PREPARE-2026CN1384). The working group systematically searched Chinese and English evidence addressing 12 clinical questions. Evidence was graded using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2009 system, with structured appraisal of risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Recommendations were formulated through two rounds of Delphi surveys and a face-to-face consensus meeting, with an agreement threshold of ≥75%. Results The consensus generated 12 recommendations covering indications, selection between jejunum and colon, preoperative assessment, surgical approach and reconstruction route, pedicled jejunal interposition (PJI), supercharged pedicled jejunal interposition (SPJ), indocyanine green (ICG) perfusion assessment, perioperative nutrition, management of anastomotic leakage, long-term follow-up, and special treatment scenarios. Given that the available direct evidence is predominantly derived from single-center retrospective cohorts and case series, recommendations extrapolated from general esophagectomy or other gastrointestinal surgical evidence are deliberately phrased with caution. Conclusion Jejunal interposition is a safe and effective approach for digestive tract reconstruction in patients with complex esophageal cancer in whom the stomach is unavailable. This consensus emphasizes that clinical decision-making should be individualized based on the patient's prior treatment history, reconstruction height, vascular anatomy, technical availability, and institutional experience in the Chinese context.

Objective To establish a chronic rejection (CR) model of mouse heart transplantation and analyze its characteristics. Methods Allogeneic BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were used as donor and recipient for heart transplantation, and intraperitoneal injection of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig) was given 1 and 2 days after surgery. Graft survival time, donor specific antibody (DSA) level, graft pathology and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. Results In allogeneic transplantation model, graft survival time was prolonged after CTLA4-Ig treatment [(28.2±4.1) d vs. (7.0±0.7) d, P < 0.01]. The level of serum DSA-IgG increased at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after surgery, while the level of DSA-IgM remained unchanged. Myocardial cell injury, inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial fibrosis and C4d deposition in capillaries were aggravated 3 weeks after operation and worsened 4 weeks after operation. The infiltrated immune cells were mainly macrophages, T cells and plasma cells. Conclusions Mouse allogeneic heart transplantation combined with CTLA4-Ig successfully establishes a CR model, which provides a basis for subsequent studies on the pathogenesis and intervention of CR.

Objective To establish an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPDQ) in human plasma and urine. Methods Plasma and urine samples (0.3 mL each) were mixed with 0.9 mL acetonitrile and dichloromethane, vortexed, and subjected to ultrasonic treatment to facilitate extraction. After centrifugation, the extract was collected, evaporated to dry powder under nitrogen, and reconstituted. Separation was performed on a C18 column, and detection was carried out using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry with external standard quantification. Results 6PPDQ showed good linearity in the range of 0.01-25.00 μg/L in both human plasma and urine, with correlation coefficients of 0.999 5 and 0.999 7, respectively. The detection limits for plasma and urine were 8 and 6 ng/L, and the lower limits of quantification were 27 and 19 ng/L, respectively. The average recovery rates were 97.00%-100.00% for plasma and 90.00%-96.50% for urine. The within-run relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 4.35%-10.00% for plasma and 2.34%-11.11% for urine, while the between-run RSDs were 6.80%-8.46% and 2.60%-10.00%, respectively. Samples can be stored for seven days at 4 ℃ or -20 ℃. respectively. Samples can be stored for seven days at 4 ℃ or -20 ℃. Matrix effects ranged from 87.12%-99.27% for plasma and 91.00%-97.56% for urine. Conclusion The proposed method is simple, highly sensitive, and reproducible, and is suitable for the determination of 6PPDQ in human plasma and urine samples.

Objective To explore the efficacy and action mechanism of a novel phenothiazine derivative,DA414,in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats(aged 8~10 weeks,weighing 250~300 g)were randomly divided into sham operation,model,and low and high dose DA414 groups[5 and 10 mg/(kg·d)],with 20 animals per group.The size and extent of injury in the ICH area were measured by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and histopathological slices.Neurological function was evaluated with a behavioral grading system.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related factor,glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).Multiplex immunohistochemistry was employed to quantitatively evaluate microglial activation in perihematomal tissue.RT-qPCR was applied to measure the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components(NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1β),pro-inflammatory(IL-18,TLR4,IL-6,TNF-α)and anti-inflammatory cytokines(IL-4,IL-10).The integrity of the blood-brain barrier(BBB)was assessed by Evans blue staining,and the biosafety of DA414 for the liver,kidneys and heart was assessed by HE staining and clinical biochemical tests.Results DA414 significantly promoted the absorption of hematoma,reduced neuronal injury,and improved neurological function scores.DA414 significantly up-regulated the ferroptosis regulatory factor GPX4(P<0.01),and also significantly inhibited the activation of microglia after ICH(P<0.001).RT-qPCR indicated that DA414 treatment resulted in down-regulation of mRNA expression in the inflammasome pathway(NLRP3,Caspase-1,IL-1β,all P<0.01)and pro-inflammatory cytokines(TLR4,IL-6,both P<0.05;IL-18,TNF-α,both P<0.01)and up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines(IL-4,IL-10,both P<0.05),suggesting that DA414 exerts its neuroprotective effect probably by regulating ferroptosis and inflammation.Safety assessment revealed that DA414 had no significant effect on BBB integrity or damage to the liver,kidneys,and heart in rats.Conclusion DA414 exerts significant neuroprotective effects in ICH model by targeted inhibition for ferroptosis and modulating inflammatory response.Our study provides an experimental foundation for ICH treatment.
