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 develop a clinical prediction model based on ⁶⁸Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) parameters to stratify prostate cancer patients undergoing targeted biopsy, so as to avoid unnecessary systematic biopsy. 【Methods】 A total of 96 clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) patients who underwent ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and mpMRI prior to prostate targeted biopsy with systematic biopsy during Jan.2020 and Feb.2023 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.By univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) in ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and minimum apparent diffusion coefficien (ADCmin) in mpMRI, as well as clinical parameters were evaluated to identify the independent predictors correlative with the effective diagnosis of targeted biopsy, and a clinical prediction model was constructed. 【Results】 Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SUVmax (OR=0.878, 95%CI: 0.804-0.959, P=0.004) and ADCmin (OR=1.005, 95%CI:1.001-1.010, P=0.027) were independent predictors of the effective diagnosis of targeted biopsy alone.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) of the model were 0.80, 0.80, 0.83 and 0.84, respectively. 【Conclusion】 The clinical prediction model based on ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and mpMRI parameters is helpful to improve the effective diagnosis of targeted biopsy alone, and has practical value to stratify patients with csPCa so as to safely avoid systematic biopsy and effectively balance the benefits and risks.

Aim To explore the effect of kaempferol-7- 0-neohesperidoside (K70N) against prostate cancer (PCa) and the underlying mechanism. Methods The effect of K70N on the proliferation of PCa cell lines PC3, DU145, C4-2 and LNCaP was detected using CCK8 assay. The effect of K70N on migration ability of DU145 cells was determined by wound healing assay. The targets of K70N and PCa were screened from SuperPred and other databases. The common targets both related to K70N and PCa were obtained from the Venny online platform, a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed by the String and Cyto- scape. Meanwhile, the GO and KEGG functional enrichment were analyzed by David database. Then, a "drug-target-disease-pathway" network model was constructed. Cell cycle of PCa cells treated with K70N was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of cycle-associated proteins including Skp2, p27 and p21 protein were detected by Western blot. Molecular docking between Skp2 and K70N was conducted by Sybyl X2. 0. Results K70N significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of PCa cells. A total number of 34 drug-disease intersection targets were screened. The String results showed that Skp2 and p27, among the common targets, were the key targets of K70N for PCa treatment. Furthermore, GO and KEGG functional en-richment indicated that the mechanism was mainly related to the cell cycle. Flow cytometry showed that K70N treatment induced cell cycle arrest at the S phase. Compared with the control group, the protein expression level of Skp2 was significantly down-regulated, while the protein expression levels of p27 and p21 were up-regulated. The network molecular docking indicated that the ligand K70N had a good binding ability with the receptor Skp2. Conclusions K70N could inhibit the proliferation and migration of PCa cells, block the cell cycle in the S phase, which may be related to the regulation of cell cycle through the Skp2- p27/p21 signaling pathway.

[Objective] To investigate the pathological characteristics of false-positive lesions of prostate cancer on ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT based on the pathology of whole mount specimens, in order to more accurately assess the degree of malignancy within the prostate tissue and avoid overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. [Methods] A total of 77 patients who underwent ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT before radical prostatectomy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during Jan.2018 and Dec.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The pathology of whole mount specimens was detected.Two nuclear physicians examined all imaging plates without knowing the pathological results.Two pathological physicians completed all pathological diagnosis without knowing the imaging results.The pathological characteristics of false-positive lesions were determined by matching ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and pathological specimens.To analyze the pathological features of false-positive lesions, true-negative lesions were randomly delineated and defined.The pathological features of false-positive and true-negative lesions were analyzed and compared using Fisher exact test. [Results] After the imaging and pathological sections were matched, 21(16.3%) false-positive lesions were identified.The pathological characteristics of the 21 false-positive lesions were as follows: 16 (76.2%) simple atrophy with cyst formation, 3(14.3%) prostatic nodular hyperplasia, and 2(9.5%) inflammation.The pathological characteristics of 21 true-negative lesions were: 13(61.9%) normal glands, 5(23.8%) prostatic nodular hyperplasia and 3(14.3%) simple atrophy with cyst formation.Fisher exact test showed that the proportion of simple atrophy with cyst formation in the pathological features of false-positive lesions and true-negative lesions was statistically significant (76.2% vs.14.3%, P<0.001). [Conclusion] Simple atrophy with cyst formation may be a characteristic pathological type of the false-positive lesions of prostate cancer on ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT.

Objective:To optimize the diagnosis-related groups (DRG) weight calculation method based on the perspective of hospital performance evaluation and the high-quality development orientation of public hospitals.Methods:Using the first page data of 3 256 701 inpatient medical records from secondary and tertiary hospitals in Beijing from January to December 2021, three algorithms including payment DRG weight, five-category DRG weight, and optimized DRG weight were used to calculate the weights of each DRG, and the differences between different algorithms were analyzed. The case-mix index (CMI) of the entire hospital and the clinical specialties to which the key DRG belongs in secondary and tertiary hospitals was calculated by using the three DRG weight algorithms, to reflect the performance evaluation results of different algorithms.Results:The results of one-way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference ( P=0.019) among the three DRG weight algorithms. Comparing the optimized DRG weight with the payment DRG weight, the weight of BD29 (neural stimulator implantation or removal surgery) in the key DRG decreased from 7.77 to 4.61, and the weight of LA19 (renal tumor surgery) increased from 2.06 to 2.58; Compared with the five-category DRG weight, the weight of ES31 (respiratory infection/inflammation with severe complications or comorbidities) decreased from 2.36 to 1.72, and the weight of CB39 (crystalloid surgery) increased from 0.22 to 0.30. Comparing the use of optimized DRG weights and five-category DRG weights to calculate CMI, all types of hospitals and clinical specialties showed varying degrees of improvement in CMI. The CMI of tertiary hospitals increased from 1.02 to 1.20, and the CMI of secondary hospitals increased from 0.88 to 0.95. The difference in CMI between secondary and tertiary hospitals was even more pronounced. Conclusions:Optimized DRG weights could better reflect the value of medical technology compared with the payment DRG weights. Compared to five-category DRG weights, optimized DRG weights could better reflect the differences in CMI of different levels of hospitals.

BACKGROUND: Diabetic wound healing remains a major challenge due to the impaired functionality of angiogenesis by persistent hyperglycemia. Mesenchymal stem cell exosomes are appropriate candidates for regulating the formation of angiogenesis in tissue repair and regeneration. Here, we explored the effects of exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell (hAMSC-Exos) on the biological activities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with high glucose and on diabetic wound healing and investigate lncRNAs related to angiogenesis in hAMSC-Exos. METHODS: hAMSCs and hAMSC-Exos were isolated and identified by flow cytometry or western blot. A series of functional assays such as cell counting kit-8, scratching, transwell and tube formation assays were performed to evaluate the potential effect of hAMSC-Exos on high glucose-treated HUVECs. The effect of hAMSC-Exos on diabetic wound healing were tested by measuring wound closure rates and immunohistochemical staining of CD31. Subsequently, the lncRNAs profiles in hAMSC-Exos and hAMSCs were examined to screen the lncRNAs related to angiogenesis. RESULTS: The isolated hAMSC-Exos had a size range of 30–150 nm and were positive for CD9, CD63 and CD81. The hAMSC-Exos facilitate the functional properties of high glucose-treated HUVECs including the proliferation, migration and the angiogenic activities as well as wound closure and angiogenesis in diabetic wound. hAMSC-Exos were enriched lncRNAs that related to angiogenesis, including PANTR1, H19, OIP5-AS1 and NR2F1-AS1. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated hAMSC-Exos facilitate diabetic wound healing by angiogenesis and contain several exosomal lncRNAs related to angiogenesis, which may represent a promising strategy for diabetic wound healing.

Objective: To understand the distribution of genotypes and sub-genotypes of HBV in different ethnic groups in China. Methods: The HBsAg positive samples were selected by stratified multi-stage cluster sampling from the sample base of national HBV sero-epidemiological survey in 2020 for the amplification of S gene of HBV by nested PCR. A phylogeny tree was constructed to determine the genotypes and sub-genotypes of HBV. The distribution of genotypes and sub-genotypes of HBV were analyzed comprehensively by using laboratory data and demographic data. Results: A total of 1 539 positive samples from 15 ethnic groups were successfully amplified and analyzed, and 5 genotypes (B, C, D, I and C/D) were detected. The proportion of genotype B was higher in ethnic group of Han (74.52%, 623/836), Zhuang (49.28%, 34/69), Yi (53.19%, 25/47), Miao (94.12%, 32/34), Buyi (81.48%, 22/27). The proportions of genotype C were higher in ethnic groups of Yao (70.91%, 39/55). Genotype D was the predominant genotype in Uygur (83.78%, 31/37). Genotype C/D were detected in Tibetan (92.35%,326/353). In this study, 11 cases of genotype I were detected, 8 of which were distributed in Zhuang nationality. Except for Tibetan, sub-genotype B2 accounted for more than 80.00% in genotype B in all ethnic groups. The proportions of sub-genotype C2 were higher in 8 ethnic groups, i.e. Han, Tibetan, Yi, Uygur, Mongolian, Manchu, Hui and Miao. The proportions of sub-genotype C5 were higher in ethnic groups of Zhuang (55.56%, 15/27) and Yao (84.62%, 33/39). For genotype D, sub-genotype D3 was detected in Yi ethnic group and sub-genotype D1 was detected in both Uygur and Kazak. The proportions of sub-genotype C/D1 and C/D2 in Tibetan were 43.06% (152/353) and 49.29% (174/353). For all the 11 cases of genotype I infection, only sub-genotype I1 was detected. Conclusions: Five genotypes and 15 sub-genotypes of HBV were found in 15 ethnic groups. There were significant differences in the distribution of genotypes and sub-genotypes of HBV among different ethnic groups.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of HIV-1 infection in men who have sex with men (MSM) in key areas of China through HIV-1 limiting antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay (LAg-Avidity EIA), analyze the deviation from the actual results and identify influencing factors, and provided reference for improving the accuracy of estimation results. Methods: Based on the principle of the cohort randomized study design, 20 cities were selected in China based on population size and the number of HIV-positive MSM. The sample size was estimated to be 700 according to the HIV-1 infection rate in MSM. MSM mobile phone app. was used to establish a detection appointment and questionnaire system, and the baseline cross-sectional survey was conducted from April to November 2019. LAg-Avidity EIA was used to identify the recent infected samples. The incidence of HIV-1 infection was calculated and then adjusted based on the estimation formula designed by WHO. The influencing factors were identified by analyzing the sample collection and detection processes. Results: Among the 10 650 blood samples from the participants, 799 were HIV-positive in initial screening, in which 198 samples (24.78%) missed during confirmation test. Only 621 samples were received by the laboratory. After excluding misreported samples, 520 samples were qualified for testing. A total of 155 samples were eventually determined as recent infection through LAg-Avidity EIA; Based on the estimation formula , the incidence of HIV-1 infection in MSM in 20 cities was 4.06% (95%CI:3.27%-4.85%), it increased to 5.53% (95%CI: 4.45%-6.60%)after the adjusting for sample missing rate. When the sample missing rate and misreporting rate were both adjusted, the incidence of HIV-1 infection in the MSM increased to 5.66% (95%CI:4.67%-6.65%). The actual incidence of HIV-1 infection in MSM in the 20 cities might be between 4.06% and 5.66%. Conclusions: Sample missing and misreporting might cause the deviation of the estimation of HIV-1 infection incidence. It is important to ensure the sample source and the quality of sample collection and detection to reduce the deviation in the estimation of HIV-1 infection incidence.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genetic subtypes and pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) among men who have sex with men (MSM) from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China. Methods: From April to November 2019, 574 plasma samples of ART-naive HIV-1 infected MSM were collected from 19 cities in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted and amplified the HIV-1 pol gene region by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after reverse transcription. Then sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic tree to determine genetic subtypes and submitted to the Stanford drug resistance database for drug resistance analysis. Results: A total of 479 samples were successfully amplified by PCR. The HIV-1 genetic subtypes included CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC, B, CRF55_01B, CRF59_01B, CRF65_cpx, CRF103_01B, CRF67_01B, CRF68_01B and unrecognized subtype, which accounted for 43.4%, 36.3%, 6.3%, 5.9%, 0.8%, 0.8%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.2% and 5.5%, respectively. The distribution of genetic subtypes among provinces is statistically different (χ²=44.141, P<0.001). The overall PDR rate was 4.6% (22/479), the drug resistance rate of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors were 3.5% (17/479), 0.8% (4/479) and 0.2% (1/479), respectively. The PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections (χ²=4.634, P=0.031). Conclusions: The HIV-1 genetic subtypes among MSM infected with HIV-1 from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China are diverse, and the distribution of subtypes is different among provinces. The overall PDR rate is low, while the PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections, suggesting the surveillance of PDR in recent infections should be strengthened.
