BACKGROUND:Low temperatures have detrimental effects on the human cardiovascular system,with a higher prevalence of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases,especially among people living in cold climates.Transient receptor potential M8(TRPM8)is often recognized as a physiological sensor of environmental cold,and glutamate receptor-3(GLR-3)/glutamate receptor ionotropic,kainate 2(GluK2)is also cold-sensitive.However,the specific molecular mechanisms of cold-associated TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 in regulating hypertension remain puzzling.OBJECTIVE:Through a review of the literature in this field,to find out the general pattern of TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 in regulating the body's cold response,as well as the specific mechanism of action in hypertension,thereby providing a theoretical basis for subsequent research on the treatment of hypertension based on cold-stimulation-related targets,and further expanding the new ideas and methods for the treatment of hypertension.METHODS:We searched,reviewed and screened the relevant literature on"cold stimulation,TRPM8,GLR-3/GluK2 and hypertension"to lay the theoretical foundation for the analysis of the whole article.Comparative analysis method,through reading and analyzing the obtained literature,comparing the similarities and differences between the literature,was performed to provide reasonable theoretical support for the argument.Through further comparative analysis of the literature,the relationship between the relevant indicators was clarified,and the ideas were clarified for the analysis of the full text.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)TRPM8 can be activated by cold and mainly mediates cool temperature perception in mammals.Its activation can trigger neurogenic inflammatory response and indirectly affect the inflammatory process.Abnormal TRPM8 signal can lead to excessive activation of immune cells,which is significantly associated with the occurrence and development of hypertension.(2)The activation threshold of GLR-3/GluK2 is lower than that of TRPM8,which may preferentially respond to noxious cold stimulation rather than ordinary cool temperature.In cold environment,GLR-3/GluK2 activation enhances sympathetic nerve excitability by regulating interneuron signal transduction and causes peripheral vascular constriction.Long-term effects can lead to increased peripheral vascular resistance.To conclude,TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 are involved in the interaction of the nerve-immune-vascular system by sensing different cold stimuli.Abnormal TRPM8 signaling indirectly promotes the progression of hypertension through inflammation and immune dysregulation,while GLR-3/GluK2 directly exacerbates vascular constriction and resistance by enhancing sympathetic nerve activity.The combination of the two factors may constitute the key molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of hypertension in cold environment,and provide a potential target for the intervention of cold-related cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) during plasma exchange (PE) in pediatric patients.Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of 12 critically ill children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of Jinan Children's Hospital, who underwent 28 PE sessions with RCA between December 2023 and August 2024. Clinical records were reviewed to assess bleeding events, extracorporeal circuit performance, and changes in arterial blood gas parameters, serum total calcium (Ca tot), and activated clotting time before and after treatment. Results:No patients exhibited signs of increased bleeding. In one case, the procedure was discontinued prematurely due to elevated venous pressure. A significant decrease in ionized calcium (Ca ion) was observed 0.5 hours post-treatment. At the end of PE, pH, HCO 3?, base excess (BE), lactate, PaCO 2, Ca tot, and Na + levels increased, while K + and Ca ion levels decreased, with all changes being statistically significant. Four hours post-treatment, pH, HCO 3?, BE, PaCO 2, and Na + remained elevated, whereas Ca ion, lactate, and K + returned to baseline. By 12–15 hours post-treatment, all parameters—including pH, HCO 3?, BE, PaCO 2, Na +, K +, Ca ion, and lactate—had normalized, showing no significant differences from pre-treatment levels. Conclusions:RCA provides effective extracorporeal anticoagulation during pediatric PE without increasing bleeding risk. However, metabolic complications—primarily metabolic alkalosis—are common. These disturbances typically resolve spontaneously and do not lead to severe adverse events. While no ideal anticoagulant for PE has yet been established, RCA remains a safe and effective option, particularly for pediatric patients at higher risk of bleeding.

ObjectiveTo analyse the efficacy and mechanism of Guizhi Fulingwan in regulating sex hormone disorders in rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH）. MethodsThirty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham group， a model group， a finasteride group （0.45 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and low-dose and high-dose groups of Guizhi Fulingwan （0.135， 0.337 5 g∙kg^-1∙d^-1）， with six in each group. The BPH model was prepared by subcutaneous injection of 3.5 mg∙kg^-1∙d^-1 testosterone propionate after debridement surgery in all groups except the sham group. The rats in the sham group and the model group were administered with an equal volume of saline by gavage， and the rest of the groups were administered with the corresponding medicinal solution by gavage for 35 days. Histopathology in rats was evaluated by prostate wet weight， volume， index， and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The serum sex hormone levels of testosterone （T）， dihydrotestosterone （DHT）， and estradiol （E₂） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of the androgen receptor （AR） was detected by immunohistochemistry. The serum metabolism profiles of rats in the sham group， the model group， and the high-dose group of Guizhi Fulingwan were compared by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem Fourier transform mass spectrometry （UHPLCQ Exactive） to screen for metabolic markers and to obtain relevant metabolic pathways. ResultsCompared with those in the sham group， the wet weight， volume， index， serum sex hormone level， and AR protein expression of the prostate in the model group were all elevated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the histomorphology showed pathological changes. Compared with those in the model group， the wet weight， volume， index， serum sex hormone level， and AR protein expression of the prostate in the intervention groups showed a decreasing trend （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and histopathology was improved. Serum metabolomics analysis obtained a total of 40 metabolic markers related to the intervention effect of Guizhi Fulingwan， such as dehydrosafynol， hyoscyamine， and lumichrome， which were involved in the pathways of autophagy， riboflavin metabolism， and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling. ConclusionGuizhi Fulingwan can effectively regulate sex hormone disorders in BPH rats， and its mechanism may be related to autophagy， riboflavin metabolism， and retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

Objective To analyze the research status of in situ simulation in the medical field and explore its hotspots and trends. Methods Relevant literature was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science core collection from the inception to February 2024.CiteSpace 6.3.R1 was used to analyze the authors,institutions,and keywords and draw visual knowledge maps. Results A total of 25 Chinese articles and 438 English articles were included.Only 14 English articles were from China.In Chinese articles,the authors with the largest number of articles were Dai Hengmao and Liu Shangkun,and the institution with the largest number of articles was Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.There was little cooperation between the authors and institutions.In English articles,the author and institution with the largest number of articles was Auerbach Marc and Yale University,respectively,and the cooperation between authors and institutions was close.Emergency medicine,emergency event handling,and on-the-job training were the keywords with high frequency in Chinese articles.Patient safety,medical education,and cardiac arrest were the keywords with high frequency in English articles.A total of 4 clusters were generated for Chinese keywords and 13 clusters for English keywords. Conclusions The application of in situ simulation in the medical field is still in the initial stage,and the development is not balanced at home and abroad.The number of articles published and the cooperation between authors and institutions in China obviously lags behind those abroad.Treatment and care of emergency critical patients,emergency event handling and skill training,identification of latent safety threats,improvement of readiness,and promotion of medical quality improvement are the future research hotspots and research trends in this field.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics,laboratory examination indicators,and auxilia-ry examination results of critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia,screen relevant indicators with warning effects for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia,and construct an early identification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia.Methods The clinical data of totally 86 children with adenovirus pneumonia admitted in the hospital from May 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively ana-lyzed,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen relevant indicators for the early identifi-cation of severe adenovirus pneumonia in children.The sensitivity and the specificity were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Experts conducted a quantitative evaluation of the weight scores of each factor,and finally an early identification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumo-nia was developed.Results Among 86 children with severe adenovirus pneumonia,34 were critically ill with adenovirus pneumonia.There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of respiratory distress,respiratory distress,consciousness and behavior disorders,respiratory symptoms,cardiovascular symptoms,and neurological symptoms between the two groups(P<0.05).The differences of white blood cell count,platelet count,erythrocyte dynamic sedimentation rate,serum ferritin,serum ferritin/erythrocyte dynamic sed-imentation rate,R-glutamyltransferase,alanine aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase between the severe group and the critically ill group were statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that white blood cell count,platelet count,alanine aminotransferase,serum ferritin/erythrocyte dynamic sedimentation rate and lactate dehydrogenase were all influencing factors for the progression to criti-cal illness in children with adenovirus pneumonia(P<0.05),and the ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve of the diagnostic model composed of white blood cell count,platelet count,alanine aminotrans-ferase,serum ferritin/red blood cell dynamic sedimentation rate,and lactate dehydrogenase for diagnosing crit-ical illness was 0.864,and the sensitivity and the specificity were 86.42%and 82.76%,respectively.After 25 peer experts evaluated the weight scores of various clinical manifestations and examination items,the early i-dentification scale for critically ill children with adenovirus pneumonia was finally developed.Conclusion Dur-ing clinical treatment,the clinical manifestations of children with adenovirus pneumonia can be considered in conjunction with relevant auxiliary examination results,and early identification scales can be used to determine whether children with adenovirus pneumonia are at risk of developing into critical illness.

The deep integration of party building and business operations is a crucial pathway to strengthen party building in public hospitals and promote high-quality hospital development under the new situation.This article takes the"Hongyan Van-guard Inter-hospital Transfer Service Task Force for Critically Ill Patients"of The Second Hospital of Chongqing Medical Universi-ty as the research object.Based on cross-branch collaboration practices,it systematically constructs a three-dimensional integra-tion model of"goal synergy-organizational reconstruction-capability closed-loop"and deeply analyzes the internal logic of party building leading business challenges.The research uses party building as the ideological guide and organizational reconstruction as an important measure to establish a standardized transfer process and a digital quality control system.Data shows that more than 150 cases of inter-hospital transfers of critically ill patients have been completed within a year,with a growth rate exceeding 40％.Patient satisfaction reached 98.7％,and the CMI value improved significantly.This provides an empirical model for public hospitals to solve the collaboration problems between cross-functional departments and clinical frontline departments,and achieve the"double helix"development of party building and business operations.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)treatment time nodes and coronary microcirculation dysfunction(CMD)after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and its prognosis,providing evidence for early identification of high-risk patients,further optimization of treatment system,shortening treatment time and improving prognosis.Methods This study selected 150 STEMI patients who received primary PCI at the 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the People's Liberation Army of China from March 2023 to September 2023 as the CMD group after PCI(89 cases),with a microcirculation resistance index(caIMR)of≥40 U based on coronary angiography.caIMR＜40 U was classified as the non-CMD group(61 cases).The clinical data,various examination indicators and imaging data of the two groups of patients were collected,and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)within half a year after direct PCI of the patients was followed up.The correlation between the two variables was analyzed using Spearman.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between each treatment time point and the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.Using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis to predict the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.The survival curves between the two groups were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results The levels of symptom onset-to-balloon(S-to-B),symptom onset-to-first medical contact(S-to-FMC),first medical contact-to-balloon(FMC-to-B),symptom onset-to-door(S-to-D)and first medical contact-to-door(FMC-to-D)in the CMD group were significantly higher than those in the non-CMD group(all P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that S-to-D,S-to-FMC,the time from FMC-to-B,and the time from FMC-to-D were all positively correlated with the time from S-to-B(r=0.996,P＜0.001;r=0.937,P＜0.001;r=0.431,P＜0.001;r=0.441,P＜0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that the duration of S-to-D(OR 2.165,95％CI 1.655-2.830,P＜0.001)was a significant influencing factor for CMD.Moreover,S-to-D has a relatively high predictive value for the occurrence of CMD after direct PCI.The area under the ROC curve is 0.898(95％CI 0.850-0.946,P＜0.001),the optimal cut-off value is 231 min,the sensitivity is 82.0％,and the specificity is 88.5％.Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of MACE outcomes in the CMD group was significantly lower than that in the non-CMD group(Log-rank P=0.009).Conclusions Shortening the S-to-D time can reduce the occurrence of CMD after PCI,thereby reducing the incidence of MACE and improving prognosis.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
