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 construct and apply drug utilization evaluation （DUE） criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease （ASCVD） based on the dual pathway inhibition （DPI） antithrombotic therapy scheme， to promote clinical rational drug use. METHODS Based on the instructions and relevant guidelines of low-dose rivaroxaban （2.5 mg， bid）， the Delphi method was used to establish the DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban used in ASCVD. Weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was used to determine the relative weights of each evaluation index， and the rationality of the filing medical records of discharged patients using low-dose rivaroxaban for ASCVD at Anqing Municipal Hospital from February 2024 to January 2025 was evaluated. RESULTS The established DUE criteria included 3 primary indicators （medication indications， medication process， medication results） and 11 secondary indicators （such as indications， contraindications， etc.）. The higher weighted secondary indicators being contraindications （0.117 9） and indications （0.112 1）. A total of 265 medical records were included for evaluation. The evaluation results showed that 192 cases （72.45%） had reasonable medical records， 69 cases （26.04%） had basic reasonable medical records， and 4 cases （1.51%） had unreasonable medical records； unreasonable types mainly included inappropriate combination therapy， inappropriate usage and dosage， inappropriate post- medication monitoring， and inappropriate drug switching， etc. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD based on the DPI antithrombotic treatment regimen， and the evaluation results are intuitive， reliable， and quantifiable. The use of low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD patients in our hospital is relatively reasonable， but further management needs to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the associations between unilateral or bilateral hearing loss and 12 chronic diseases as well as multimorbidity among the oldest old in China,and to identify disparities in these associations of left-and right-side hearing loss with chronic diseases.Methods Totally 7 437 people aged ≥80 years old were selected from the Chinese Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey(CLHLS)2018 cross-sectional data.With 12 chronic diseases and multimorbidity as outcome variables,the hearing loss as explanatory variable,socio-demographic characteristics,family factors,and lifestyle as covariates,the correlations of unilateral(left-or right-side)and bilateral hearing loss with chronic diseases and multimorbidity were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression model,and the trend analyses were carried out.Results There were 205(2.76％),227(3.05％)and 3 598(48.38％)old people with left-side,right-side and bilateral hearing loss,respectively.After adjusting for confounders,the oldest old with left-sided or bilateral hearing loss had a greater risk of multimorbidity compared with those with normal hearing function,with odds ratio(95％confidence interval)of 2.14(1.58-2.90)and 1.27(1.13-1.43),respectively,while no association between right-sided hearing loss and multimorbidity was observed(P＞0.05).Trend analysis showed that the risk of multimorbidity increased with hearing loss from none to unilateral and then to bilateral(P＜0.001).Conclusion Hearing loss may be related to the increased risk of multimorbidity in the oldest old,and the risk of those with bilateral hearing loss is higher.More attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of hearing loss in the oldest old.

Objective    To investigate the clinical effect of 3D computed tomography bronchial bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) and guidance of thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy by Mimics software system. Methods    A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2020 to December 2022. The patients who underwent preoperative 3D-CTBA using Materiaise's interactive medical image control system (Mimics) were selected as an observation group, and the patients who did not receive 3D-CTBA were selected as a control group. The relevant clinical indicators were compared between the two groups. Results    A total of 59 patients were included, including 29 males and 30 females, aged 25-79 years. There were 37 patients in the observation group, and 22 patients in the control group. The operation time (163.0±48.7 min vs. 188.8±43.0 min, P=0.044), intraoperative blood loss [10.0 (10.0, 20.0) mL vs. 20.0 (20.0, 35.0) mL, P<0.001], and preoperative puncture localization rate (5.4% vs. 31.8%, P=0.019) in the observation group were better than those in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the thoracic tube placement time, thoracic fluid drainage volume, number of intraoperative closure nail bin, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative air leakage incidence (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion    For patients who need to undergo anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy, using Mimics software to produce 3D-CTBA before surgery can help accurately identify pulmonary arteriovenous anatomy, reduce surgical time and intraoperative blood loss, help to determine the location of nodules and reduce invasive localization before surgery, and alleviate patients' pain, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of inflammatory response， oxidative stress and apoptosis. Some traditional Chinese medicine monomers， such as flavonoids （such as taxifolin）， alkaloids （such as sinomenine）， and stilbenes （such as piceatannol） can exert anti-inflammatory， anti-oxidation， and inhibition of apoptosis by regulating the JAK/ STAT signaling pathway， which is helpful to improve sepsis. Traditional Chinese medicine compounds （such as Zuojinfang） and traditional Chinese medicine injections （such as Astragalus injection， Xuebijing injection） can also inhibit inflammation， protect organ function， and reduce sepsis-related damage by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Although traditional Chinese medicine has shown great potential in the prevention and treatment of sepsis， the current research mainly focuses on in vitro and animal models， and more relative clinical researches need to be conducted.

AIM: To study the effect of intense pulsed light(IPL)combined with meibomian gland massage on postoperative dry eye in cataract patients with meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD).METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general data of 100 patients(100 eyes)with cataract and postoperative dry eye syndrome accompanied by MGD treated in our hospital from June 2022 to June 2023. They were divided into a control group(n=50)and an observation group(n=50)according to different treatment methods, and received meibomian gland massage and meibomian gland massage combined with IPL treatment, respectively. The tear film break-up time(BUT), Schirmer I test(S I t), meibomian gland secretion score, ocular surface disease index(OSDI), ocular staining score(OSS), and treatment efficacy of the two groups of patients were compared before treatment and at 1 wk and 1 and 3 mo after treatment.RESULTS: The BUT and SIt in both groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment, while the secretion of meibomian gland, OSS score, and OSDI score were lower than those before treatment(all P<0.05); the observation group had higher levels of BUT and SIT at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo compared to the control group(all P<0.05), and lower levels of meibomian gland secretion, OSS score, and OSDI score compared to the control group(all P<0.05); the effective rate of treatment in the observation group was 86.0%, which was higher than that in the control group(68.0%; P<0.05).CONCLUSION: IPL combined with meibomian gland massage for treating postoperative dry eye in cataract patients with MGD can promote the extension of BUT, increase tear secretion, and reduce OSS and OSDI scores.

Objective To explore the causal relationship between family resilience and mental health in military personnel population.Methods A total of 204 military personnel were recruited from an army unit stationed in Western China with cluster convenience sampling.Family Resilience Scale(FRS)and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90)were used to survey them twice,in an interval of 4 months.Amos 26.0 was applied to construct a cross-lag model and analyze the data.Results After controlling mental symptoms from the first survey,family resilience in the first measure significantly predicted mental symptoms in the second measure(β=-0.14,P＜0.05).After controlling for family resilience from the first survey,mental symptoms in the first measure significantly predicted family resilience in the second measure(β=-0.13,P＜0.05).Conclusion The relationship between family resilience and mental health is mutually causal in military personnel,and one predicts the other one.Our findings highlight the key dimensions of the relationship between the two.

Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical outcome of lateral cervical incision via sternocleidomastoid intermuscular approach(SMIA)in the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism.Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent unilateral parathyroid surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital,School of Medicine of Zhejiang University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into lateral cervical incision via sternocleidomastoid intermuscular approach group(SMIA group)and linea alba cervicalis approach group(LACA group)based on the surgical incision and access route.The differences in clinical features,surgery-related outcomes and postoperative functions of the anterior cervical region were compared between the two groups.The EQ-5D-5L scale was used to assess the subjective feeling of postoperative neck discomfort,while the Hollander Wound Assessment Scale was used to assess the clinical outcome of incision healing.Results There were no statistical differences between the two groups of patients in terms of age,gender,intraoperative bleeding,parathyroid hormone or blood calcium levels before and after surgery(P＞0.05).The duration of surgery was significantly shorter in the SMIA group than in the LACA group[(39.77±5.69)min vs.(54.41±4.66)min].There was a statistical difference between the two groups in functional protection of the anterior cervical region at 1 month and 12 months after surgery(1 month,84.67±3.74 vs.79.47±5.38,P＜0.001;12 months,93.80±2.52 vs.89.94±2.39,P＜0.001),and the SMIA group was better than the LACA group.The Hollander Incision Assessment Scale scores of the SMIA group were better than those of the LACA group at 6 months and 12 months after surgery,and the difference was statistically significant(6 months,1.93±0.58 vs.2.41±0.66,P=0.003;12 months,1.03±0.67 vs.1.74±0.62,P＜0.001).Conclusion Parathyroidectomy via sternocleidomastoid intermuscular approach through lateral cervical incision is a simple,safe and effective surgical procedure,which makes it easier to search for parathyroid lesions and shortens the surgical time compared with the traditional incision,and has obvious advantages in the protection of anterior cervical region function.

BACKGROUND: Current replacement procedures for stenosis or occluded arteries using prosthetic grafts have serious limitations in clinical applications, particularly, endothelialization of the luminal surface is a long-standing unresolved problem.METHOD: We produced a cell-based hybrid vascular graft using a bioink engulfing adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) and a 3D bioprinting process lining the ADSCs on the luminal surface of GORE-Tex grafts. The hybrid graft was implanted as an interposition conduit to replace a 3-cm-long segment of the infrarenal abdominal aorta in Rhesus monkeys. RESULTS: Complete endothelium layer and smooth muscle layer were fully developed within 21 days post-implantation, along with normalized collagen deposition and crosslinking in the regenerated vasculature in all monkeys. The regenerated blood vessels showed normal functionality for the longest observation of more than 1650 days. The same procedure was also conducted in miniature pigs for the interposition replacement of a 10-cm-long right iliac artery and showed the same long-term effective and safe outcome. CONCLUSION This cell-based vascular graft is ready to undergo clinical trials for human patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of labor progress angle (AOP), fetal head descent distance (HPD) and their change rates in the outcome of vaginal trial of cesarean scar uterus. Methods A total of 170 pregnant women who underwent vaginal trial production of scar uterus after cesarean section were selected as study subjects, and were divided into successful group and failed group based on the trial production outcomes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and head-perineum distance (HPD) were measured by ultrasound during the active phase of the first stage of labor when the cervix dilated to 4 cm and at 1 hour after the cervix dilated to 4 cm, respectively. The AOP change rate and HPD change rate after 1 hour of progress were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of AOP, HPD and their change rates in the outcome of vaginal trial production of scar uterus after cesarean section. Delong test was used to compare the differences in area under curves (AUCs). Results Among 170 pregnant women with scarred uterus after cesarean section who were pregnant again, 139 cases (success group) were succeed in transvaginal delivery, while 31 cases failed trial delivery, and transferred to cesarean section (failure group). The AOP of the successful group was significantly larger than that of the failed group when the cervix was opened to 4 cm, and the HPD was significantly shorter than that of the failure group (P < 0.05). The AOP change rate and the change rate of HPD of the successful group were significantly higher than that of the failed group when the cervix dilated to 4 cm and at 1 hour (P < 0.05). The AUC of AOP and HPD in predicting the outcome of vaginal trial delivery of scar uterus after cesarean section were 0.846 and 0.812 respectively, and AUC predicted jointly by AOP and HPD showed no significant differences compared with AUC predicted separately (P>0.05). The AUC of the change rate of AOP and HPD in predicting the outcome of vaginal trial delivery of scarred uterus after cesarean section was 0.899 and 0.852 respectively, and the combined prediction of AOP change rate and HPD change rate had a higher AUC value than the AUC predicted separately. Its AUC value was higher than that of AOP combined with HPD (P < 0.05). Conclusion The AOP, HPD and their change rates when the uterine orifice expands to 4 cm in the active phase of the first stage of labor have predictive value for the outcome of vaginal trial production of scarred uterus after cesarean section.
