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 investigate the suitable habitats of Phlebotomus chinensis in Gansu Province, so as provide insights into effective management of mountain-type zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (MT-ZVL). Methods The geographical coordinates of locations where MT-ZVL cases were reported were retrieved in Gansu Province from 2015 to 2023, and data pertaining to 26 environmental variables were captured, including 19 climatic variables (annual mean temperature, mean diurnal range, isothermality, temperature seasonality, maximum temperature of the warmest month, minimum temperature of the coldest month, temperature annual range, mean temperature of the wettest quarter, mean temperature of the driest quarter, mean temperature of the warmest quarter, mean temperature of the coldest quarter, annual precipitation, precipitation of the wettest month, precipitation of the driest month, precipitation seasonality, precipitation of the wettest quarter, precipitation of the driest quarter, precipitation of the warmest quarter, and precipitation of the coldest quarter), five geographical variables (elevation, annual normalized difference vegetation index, vegetation type, landform type and land use type), and two population and economic variables (population distribution and gross domestic product). Twelve species distribution models were built using the biomod2 package in R project, including surface range envelope (SRE) model, generalized linear model (GLM), generalized additive model (GAM), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model, generalized boosted model (GBM), classification tree analysis (CTA) model, flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) model, maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model, optimized maximum entropy (MAXNET) model, artificial neural network (ANN) model, random forest (RF) model, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBOOST) model. The performance of 12 models was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), true skill statistics (TSS), and Kappa coefficient, and single models with high performance was selected to build the optimal ensemble models. Factors affecting the survival of Ph. chinensis were identified based on climatic, geographical, population and economic variables. In addition, the suitable distribution areas of Ph. chinensis were predicted in Gansu Province under shared socioeconomic pathway 126 (SSP126), SSP370 and SSP585 scenarios based on climatic data during the period from 1991 to 2020, from 2041 to 2060 (2050s), and from 2081 to 2100 (2090s) . Results A total of 11 species distribution models were successfully built for prediction of potential distribution areas of Ph. chinensis in Gansu Province, and the RF model had the highest predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.998). The ensemble model built based on the RF model, XGBOOST model, GLM, and MARS model had an increased predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.999) relative to single models. Among the 26 environmental factors, precipitation of the wettest quarter (12.00%), maximum temperature of the warmest month (11.58%), and annual normalized difference vegetation index (11.29%) had the greatest contributions to suitable habitats distribution of Ph. sinensis. Under the climatic conditions from 1991 to 2020, the potential suitable habitat area for Ph. chinensis in Gansu Province was approximately 5.80 × 10⁴ km², of which the highly suitable area was 1.42 × 10⁴ km², and primarily concentrated in the southernmost region of Gansu Province. By the 2050s, the unsuitable and lowly suitable areas for Ph. chinensis in Gansu Province had decreased by varying degrees compared to that of 1991 to 2020 period, while the moderately and highly suitable areas exhibited expansion and migration. By the 2090s, under the SSP126 scenario, the suitable habitat area for Ph. chinensis increased significantly, and under the SSP585 scenario, the highly suitable areas transformed into extremely suitable areas, also showing substantial growth. Future global warming is conducive to the survival and reproduction of Ph. chinensis. From the 2050s to the 2090s, the highly suitable areas for Ph. chinensis in Gansu Province will be projected to expand northward. Under the SSP126 scenario, the suitable habitat area for Ph. chinensis in Gansu Province is expected to increase by 194.75% and 204.79% in the 2050s and 2090s, respectively, compared to that of the 1991 to 2020 period. Under the SSP370 scenario, the moderately and highly suitable areas will be projected to increase by 164.40% and 209.03% in the 2050s and 2090s, respectively, while under the SSP585 scenario, they are expected to increase by 195.98% and 211.66%, respectively. Conclusions The distribution of potential suitable habitats of Ph. sinensis gradually shifts with climatic changes. Intensified surveillance and management of Ph. sinensis is recommended in central and eastern parts of Gansu Province to support early warning of MT-ZVL.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of Go-Ichi-Ni-San complex subunit 1 （GINS1） in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） and the development of chemotherapy resistance. MethodsThe tumor database GEPIA2 was used to analyze the differential expression of GINS1 between HCC patients and healthy individuals， and pathological tissue samples were collected from 40 HCC patients who were admitted to The Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from May 2017 to January 2021. Immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC tissue and corresponding adjacent tissue， and the correlation between the expression level of GINS1 and the clinical TNM stage of HCC was analyzed. Western blot was also used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC Huh7/Hep3B/Li-7/MHCC97H cell lines and normal human QSG7701 hepatocytes. The method of lentivirus transfection was used to establish the MHCC97H cell line with stable GINS1 knockdown and its negative control cell line. CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were used to measure cell proliferative capacity； scratch assay was used to measure cell migration ability； Transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion ability； cells were treated with oxaliplatin to measure their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs. Nude mice were used to establish a tumor-bearing model and observe the effect of GINS1 knockdown on the growth of HCC in vivo. Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of the proteins associated with the Notch pathway and the JAK/STAT pathway. The cells were treated with the Notch receptor agonist Jagged-1 to analyze the association between GINS1 and the Notch/JAK/STAT pathway. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe expression of GINS1 was upregulated in HCC patients， HCC tissue， and HCC cell lines （all P<0.05）， and the expression level of GINS1 was positively correlated with the clinical TNM stage of HCC （r=0.822， P=0.011）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities （all P<0.01） and a significantly enhanced sensitivity to oxaliplatin （P<0.01）. Compared with the nude mice in the control group， GINS1 knockdown caused significant inhibition of tumor weight and volume in vivo in nude mice （all P<0.001）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in the expression levels of Notch1， Notch3， p-JAK2， and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）， while there were no significant differences in the overall expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P>0.05）. After Jagged-1 treatment， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant increases in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities and a significant reduction in sensitivity to oxaliplatin， as well as significant increases in the levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionGINS1 is upregulated in HCC and can promote HCC progression and chemotherapy resistance through the Notch/JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Docynia delavayi (Franch.) Schneid. is an economic fruit plant with high medicinal and edible values. The TCP gene family plays a vital role in plant growth and development. To explore the function of the TCP gene family in the growth and development of D. delavayi. In this study, the TCP gene family (DdeTCP) members were identified from the D. delavayi genome and their expression levels at different stages of seed germination and fruit development were analyzed. The results showed that a total of 18 DdeTCP genes were identified from the D. delavayi genome, with uneven location on 11 chromosomes. The phylogenetic tree showed that the 18 DdeTCPs could be classified into class Ⅱ (3) and class Ⅱ (15), suggesting that functional differentiation occurred among the DdeTCP family members. DdeTCP11 highly homologous to AtTCP14 was highly expressed in the early stage of seed germination, which suggested that this gene played a key role in seed germination. In addition, DdeTCP16 in class Ⅱ had a high expression level during the fruit ripening stage, which indicated that it might be related to fruit ripening. The findings lay a foundation for probing into the roles of the DdeTCP gene family in the growth and development of D. delavayi.

ObjectiveTransfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury （TRALI） is a common fatal transfusion adverse reaction. Major Histocompatibility Complex （MHC） class I is an important factor involved in the pathogenesis of TRALI； however， the role of complement in itspathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to explore the role of complement in MHC class I antibody-mediated TRALI， so as to provide a theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment. MethodsThis study established a murine model of transfusion-related acute lung injury （TRALI） based on the "two-hit" theory， with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） as the first hit and MHC class I antibody as the second hit. Male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into seven groups （n=5 per group per experiment）： Naive （blank control）， LPS （first hit only）， Isotype （isotype antibody control）， TRALI （model group）， C5aR1 inhi （C5aR1 antagonist intervention）， C5aR2 inhi （C5aR2 antagonist intervention）， and Anti-C5 （anti-complement C5 antibody intervention）. Rectal temperature was monitored after MHC class I antibody injection. After sample collection， the severity of pulmonary edema was assessed by measuring the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio， histological analysis， and immunohistochemistry. Serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were collected to measure cytokine and complement levels. ResultsMice in the TRALI group exhibited a significant decrease in rectal temperature， an increased lung wet-to-dry weight ratio， elevated serum cytokine levels， and markedly heightened complement C5a levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （P＜0.000 1）. Histopathological examination revealed substantial infiltration of inflammatory cells， predominantly neutrophils accompanied by fewer lymphocytes， plasma cells， and monocytes， along with increased deposition of the membrane attack complex C5b-9 in lung tissues. In contrast， mice treated with anti-C5 antibody demonstrated no significant decrease in rectal temperature. The lung wet-to-dry weight ratio in this group showed no statistical difference compared to either the Naive or Isotype control groups （P＞0.05）. Furthermore， these mice displayed reduced serum cytokine levels， a significant attenuation of inflammatory cell infiltration in the lungs， and a 100% survival rate at the 2-hour time point. However， mice administered either the C5aR1 antagonist or the C5aR2 antagonist failed to be protected and subsequently developed TRALI. ConclusionComplement activation， which forms the membrane attack complex C5b-9， plays a critical role in MHC class I antibody-mediated TRALI. Blocking complement C5 activation can effectively prevent the occurrence of TRALI.

Objective: To study the impact of disaggregation on the quality of in vitro aggregated apheresis platelets. Methods: The apheresis platelets collected from Guangzhou Blood Center served as the study samples. The in vitro aggregated apheresis platelets after successful disaggregation were designated as the experimental group (referred to as the aggregation group), and apheresis platelets without in vitro aggregation during collection served as the control group. The product volume, platelet content, residual white blood cells, red blood cell contamination, pH value, CD62p expression rate, platelet morphology score and thromboelastography of both groups were respectively detected. Results: The routine quality control indicators such as product volume, platelet content, residual white blood cells, red blood cell contamination, and pH value of both groups all met the quality requirements. There were statistically significant differences in pH value (7.180 vs 7.071) between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in product volume, platelet content, residual white blood cells, and red blood cell contamination between the two groups (P>0.05). The CD62p expression rate of the aggregation group was higher than that of the control group (42.386% vs 17.310%, P<0.05), while the cell morphology score of the aggregation group was lower than that of the control group (132.066 vs 141.166, P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in thromboelastography parameters (R-CK, K-CK, α angle, MA-CK, CI-CK) between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: After the disaggregation of in vitro-aggregated apheresis platelets, the quality indicators met the national quality requirements. Although the expression rate of CD62p increased and the cell morphology score decreased, there were no statistically significant differences in the thromboelastography parameters between the two groups. This indicates that although some platelet activation occurred, it did not affect the hemostatic function of the platelets.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders(PGT-M) in families with hereditary epilepsy. Methods : Whole-exome sequencing(WES) and familial co-segregation analysis were performed to validate the pathogenicity of variants(PCDH19 c. 1031C > G and LGI1 c. 856T >G) in two monogenic epilepsy families. A clinical PGT-M pathway was implemented,and reproductive outcomes were tracked. Results: In Family 1(PCDH19 likely pathogenic variant),13 blastocysts were biopsied over two ovarian stimulation cycles,yielding 3 unaffected euploid embryos(23. 1%). After the third frozen embryo transfer,a healthy male infant was successfully delivered. Prenatal diagnosis confirmed that the fetus did not carry the pathogenic variant PCDH19. Family 2(LGI1 variant of uncertain significance,VUS) screened 14 blastocysts,identifying 2 unaffected euploid embryos(14. 3%),with the first transfer unsuccessful. A clinical pregnancy was currently ongoing following the second frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET). Conclusion PGT-M can precisely block the vertical transmission of monogenic epileptic pathogenic variants,offering an effective reproductive intervention strategy for families with hereditary epilepsy.
