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 establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of astragalin (AST) on autophagy and apoptosis of astrocytes in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord in mice with inflammatory pain induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). MethodsTwenty-four male C57BL/6 mice, aged six months, were randomly assigned to four groups: control group, saline group, CFA model group, and CFA+AST group, six mice in each group. The inflammatory pain model was established by injection of 10 µL CFA into the right lateral malleolus fossa. The saline group were injected with an equal amount of normal saline at the same site. The inflammatory pain mice in CFA+AST group were further treated with AST (60 mg/kg) intraperitoneally once a day for 21 consecutive days. Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the coexpression of autophagy-related factors including ATG 12 and Beclin-1, apoptosis-related factors including Cleaved-Caspase3 and Caspase9, and the astrocyte marker such as GFAP in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of the mice in each group. Western blot was used to examine the protein expression levels of autophagy-related proteins(ATG12, Beclin-1) and apoptosis-related proteins(Caspase 3, Caspase 9) in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of mice. ResultsImmunofluorescent staining showed that in the L4-5 dorsal horn of the spinal cord, the fluorescence intensity of ATG12 (P<0.000 1) and Beclin-1 (P<0.000 1) was significantly increased, while that of Cleaved-Caspase 3 (P<0.001) and Caspase 9 (P<0.000 1) was decreased in the CFA+AST group when compared to the CFA model group. Furthermore, AST could inhibit the activation of astrocytes. Western blot further confirmed that AST significantly upregulated the expression of ATG12 (P<0.000 1) and Beclin-1 (P<0.000 1) in the L4-5 spinal cord of CFA mice, and downregulated the expression of Caspase 3 (P<0.01) and Caspase 9 (P<0.001). ConclusionsAST promotes autophagy of astrocytes and inhibits their apoptosis in the L4-5 spinal dorsal horn of CFA mice.
4.Quality assessment and preservation strategies of donor liver
Organ Transplantation 2025;16(4):609-619
With the continuous development of liver transplantation technology, liver transplantation has been proven to be an effective treatment for end-stage liver disease, and the number of liver transplantation performed in China has been increasing year by year. Currently, the main sources of donor livers are from donation after brain death and donation after cardiac death. Although these have expanded the sources compared to the early days of liver transplantation, China, being a country with a high prevalence of liver diseases, still faces a significant gap between the demand and supply of organs, which has become the most important factor restricting the conduct of liver transplantation. Many donor livers, due to underlying diseases, prolonged ischemia, and other "marginal" factors, may lead to graft dysfunction and other complications after transplantation when using expanded criteria marginal donor livers, which can severely affect the recipient's prognosis and may even result in the discard of marginal donor livers. In order to increase the utilization rate of grafts, reduce the incidence of severe complications after liver transplantation, and improve the long-term prognosis of recipients, preoperative quality assessment of donor livers, selection of appropriate perfusion and preservation methods, and monitoring of relevant indicators in the perfusate should be performed. The above measures can, to a certain extent, expand the donor pool, predict and reduce postoperative complications through intervention, extend the overall survival time of patients, enhance the overall effectiveness of liver transplantation, and reduce the waiting time for end-stage patients to receive a transplant.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of total saponins of Dioscorea (TSD) in mitigating nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice. MethodForty-eight C57BL/6J mice were randomized into a normal group and a modeling group. The mice for modeling were fed with a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet + 20% fructose solution for 16 weeks and randomized into model, atorvastatin (4 mg·kg-1·d-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (200, 60, and 20 mg·kg-1·d-1) TSD groups. The mice were administrated with corresponding doses of drugs by gavage for 8 weeks. The mouse activity, liver index, levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and free fatty acids (FFAs) in the liver, and levels of TC, TG, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining, oil red O staining, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to observe the pathological changes, lipid accumulation, and morphological changes of liver ultrastructure. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and phosphorylated ACC (p-ACC) in the liver tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group, the activity of mice in the model group decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01), the levels of TC, TG, FFA and serum TC, TG, ALT, AST, GGT, IL-1β and TNF-α, liver coefficient and liver pathology scores were significantly increased, the expression of p-AMPK/AMPK and p-ACC proteins in liver tissues was significantly reduced, and the expressions of SREBP-1c and ACC proteins were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, atorvastatin increased the mouse activity (P<0.05), while each dose of TSD caused no significant changed in the mouse activity. The levels of TC, TG, FFA in liver and serum TC, TG, ALT, AST, GGT, IL-1β, TNF-α, liver coefficient and liver pathological score in TSD and atorvastatin groups were significantly decreased, and the expressions of p-AMPK/AMPK and p-ACC in liver tissue were significantly increased. The expressions of SREBP-1c and ACC were significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionTSD may alleviate NASH in mice by regulating the AMPK/SREBP-1c/ACC signaling pathway to reduce lipid synthesis.

The incidence of myopia is increasing year by year and the trend of younger age is obvious. The situation of myopia prevention and control is very serious. The sclera is the target organ for the development of myopia. When myopia occurs and develops, the ultrastructure of the sclera tissue will undergo pathological changes, resulting in a decrease in its tensile strength, then progressive axial growth and posterior sclera expansion. Scleral collagen cross-linking can effectively increase the hardness and tensile strength of scleral tissue, which may have great potential in the prevention and control of myopia, especially pathological myopia. At present, the effectiveness of scleral collagen cross-linking technology in the prevention and treatment of pathological myopia researches are still in the stage of animal experiments, and there are a lot of controversies on the safety. The development of any new technology to ensure safety is the primary condition. A comprehensive understanding of the safety of scleral collagen crosslinking in the prevention and control of myopia can provide more basis and guidance for the further study of scleral collagen crosslinking.
