Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

With the prevalence of kidney disease continues to rise,it has become a serious global public health issue that significantly impacts patients'quality of life.The complex pathogenesis of kidney disea-ses presents challenges for its prevention and treatment.Research has shown that imbalances in metabolic homeostasis often affect kidney function,leading to renal damage.Peroxisome proliferator-activated re-ceptors(PPARs),as transcription factors activated by endogenous ligands,play a crucial role in regula-ting metabolic molecular networks,particularly in oxidative phosphorylation,lipid metabolism,and glu-cose metabolism.Activating PPARs can improve mitochondrial damage,promote tatty acid breakdown,and alleviate insulin resistance,thereby restoring renal metabolic function and mitigating kidney damage.Although various small-molecule drugs that activate PPARs have been developed,adverse reactions have been observed during clinical trials.Currently,there is still a lack of safe and effective treatment options for kidney diseases.A detailed analysis of the molecular mechanisms by which the PPAR family regulates renal cell energy metabolism,as well as the search for and development of new small-molecule drugs tar-geting PPARs and their regulated downstream metabolic pathways,is of significant importance for under-standing and treating kidney diseases.On the other hand,clarifying the metabolic changes during the progression of different kidney diseases and applying targeted PPAR-based drugs or strategies for their treatment is particularly important.Here we summarize how PPAR family members regulate target gene transcription and their roles in the remodeling of oxidative phosphorylation and lipid/glucose metabolism,as well as the impact of changes in PPAR expression or activity on acute and chronic kidney diseases and age-related kidney conditions.This knowledge may provide new insights and theoretical support for the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases.

Objective:To investigate the effects of traditional Chinese curve-correcting and rotation-reducing spinal manipulation on biomechanical parameters and factors influencing herniated disc resorption in lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 51 LDH patients treated between January 2022 and May 2024 was conducted.Lumbosacral parameters(vertebral rotation angle[α],disc angle[β],sacral slope[SS],lumbar lordosis[LL])were measured via MRI before treatment and at final follow-up.Disc resorption was assessed using Michigan State University(MSU)classification.Multivariate logistic regression identified factors associated with resorption.Results:Post-treatment α angle significantly decreased(3.02°→1.86°,P=0.002),while SS(28.4°→30.0°,P＜0.001)and LL angles(31.0°→35.12°,P＜0.001)increased;Disc resorption occurred in 56.86％(29/51)of patients.Longer disease course(OR=0.79,95％CI:0.69-0.91)and disc calcification(OR=0.03,95％CI:0.00-0.25)were independent inhibitors of resorption(P＜0.001).Conclusion:Spinal manipulation restores lumbosacral biomechanics by reducing vertebral rotation and increasing lumbar curvature,with higher resorption rates in patients with short duration(≤6 months),non-calcified discs,and MSU type 2-3 herniations.

AIM To explore the clinical effects of Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction on postoperative patients with lumbar vertebral fracture complicated with spinal cord injury due to Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Pattern.METHODS One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned into control group(60 cases)for 6-week intervention of conventional treatment,and observation group(60 cases)for 6-week intervention of both Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction and conventional treatment.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome scores,spinal cord conduction signals(SEP amplitude,MEP amplitude),serum neurotrophic factors(NGF,IGF-1,BDNF),coagulation and inflammatory indices(PT,APTT,TNF-α,IL-1 β)and incidence of adverse reactions were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate than the control group(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome scores,TNF-α,IL-1β(P＜0.05),increased spinal cord conduction signals,coagulation and inflammatory indices(P＜0.05),and shortened PT,APTT(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).No significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions was found between the two groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients with lumbar vertebral fracture complicated with spinal cord injury due to Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Pattern,Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction can safely and effectively promote neurological function recovery.

Lumbar disc (LD) herniation and aging are prevalent conditions that can result in substantial morbidity. This study aimed to clarify the mechanisms connecting the LD aging and herniation, particularly focusing on cellular senescence and molecular alterations in the nucleus pulposus (NP). We performed a detailed analysis of NP samples from a diverse cohort, including individuals of varying ages and those with diagnosed LD herniation. Our methodology combined histological assessments with single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify phenotypic and molecular changes related to NP aging and herniation. We discovered that cellular senescence and a decrease in nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) are central to both processes. Additionally, we found an age-related increase in NFAT1 expression that promotes NPPC senescence and contributes to both aging and herniation of LD. This research offers fresh insights into LD aging and its associated pathologies, potentially guiding the development of new therapeutic strategies to target the root causes of LD herniation and aging.

OBJECTIVE: High-altitude hypoxia exposure often damages hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Nogo-A is an important axonal growth inhibitory factor. However, its function in high-altitude hypoxia and its mechanism of action remain unclear. METHODS: In an in vivo study, a low-pressure oxygen chamber was used to simulate high-altitude hypoxia, and genetic or pharmacological intervention was used to block the Nogo-A/NgR1 signaling pathway. Contextual fear conditioning and Morris water maze behavioral tests were used to assess learning and memory in rats, and synaptic damage in the hippocampus and changes in oxidative stress levels were observed. In vitro, SH-SY5Y cells were used to assess oxidative stress and mitochondrial function with or without Nogo-A knockdown in Oxygen Glucose-Deprivation/Reperfusion (OGD/R) models. RESULTS: Exposure to acute high-altitude hypoxia for 3 or 7 days impaired learning and memory in rats, triggered oxidative stress in the hippocampal tissue, and reduced the dendritic spine density of hippocampal neurons. Blocking the Nogo-A/NgR1 pathway ameliorated oxidative stress, synaptic damage, and the learning and memory impairment induced by high-altitude exposure. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate the detrimental role of Nogo-A protein in mediating learning and memory impairment under high-altitude hypoxia and suggest the potential of the Nogo-A/NgR1 signaling pathway as a crucial therapeutic target for alleviating learning and memory dysfunction induced by high-altitude exposure.
