With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

Aerosol removal using flame-retardant atomized fixatives, as a major means of aerosol control, has achieved remarkable results in the field of nuclear facility decommissioning and decontamination. Traditional atomized fixatives for aerosol removal have deficiencies in high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy, rendering them inadequate for operational scenarios involving high temperatures and flammability encountered during nuclear decommissioning. This paper investigates the current development of flame-retardant atomized fixatives for aerosol removal both domestically and internationally and presents a preliminary exploration of this technology. The experiments showed that atomized fixatives modified with flame-retardant properties not only maintained excellent aerosol capture efficiency, but also exhibited significantly improved flame-retardant performance. This confirmed the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. Finally, suggestions and reflections are proposed for the development of this technology and its application in nuclear facility decommissioning.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Object To study the efficacy and potential mechanism of Tongbianling capsule in constipation. Methods The effects of Tongbianling capsule on intestinal motility in normal mice and carbon powder propulsion rate in small intestine of constipation model mice after were observed administration. The potential targets and key pathways of Tongbianling capsule in treating constipation were identified through network pharmacology. To verify the mechanism, the expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT and CASP3 proteins in mouse colon tissue was detected by the western blot. Results The time for mice to excrete the first black stool was shortened and the number of fecal particles was increased in Tongbianling capsule administration group, and the carbon powder propulsion rate of mice in each Tongbianling capsule administration group was increased. The results of network pharmacology showed that treatment of constipation by Tongbianling capsule may be related to signaling pathways such as PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and 5-HT. The protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-AKT/AKT, and CASP3 in mouse colon tissue could be significantly downregulated in administration group. Conclusion Tongbianling capsule could effectively promote intestinal peristalsis in mice, increase the frequency of defecation, and effectively treat constipation. The mechanism of its action may be related to the direct or indirect regulation of intestinal motility by the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Colorectal cancer(CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, primarily originating from recurrent inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Therefore, blocking the inflammation-cancer transformation in the colon has become a focus in the early prevention and treatment of CRC. The inflammation-cancer transformation in the colon involves multiple types of cells and complex pathological processes, including inflammatory responses and tumorigenesis. In this complex pathological process, immune cells(including non-specific and specific immune cells) and non-immune cells(such as tumor cells and fibroblasts) interact with each other, collectively promoting the progression of the disease. In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), inflammation-cancer transformation in the colon belongs to the categories of dysentery and diarrhea, with the main pathogenesis being cold and heat in complexity. This paper first elaborates on the complex molecular mechanisms involved in the inflammation-cancer transformation process in the colon from the perspectives of inflammation, cancer, and their mutual influences. Subsequently, by comparing the pathogenic characteristics and clinical manifestations between inflammation-cancer transformation and the TCM pathogenesis of cold and heat in complexity, this paper explores the intrinsic connections between the two. Furthermore, based on the correlation between inflammation-cancer transformation in the colon and the TCM pathogenesis, this paper delves into the importance of the interaction between inflammation and cancer. Finally, it summarizes and discusses the clinical and basic research progress in the TCM intervention in the inflammation-cancer transformation process, providing a theoretical basis and treatment strategy for the treatment of CRC with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

To investigate the effects of phosphorus fertilizer on the morphological traits, active ingredients and rhizosphere soil microbial community of Polygala tenuifolia. The phosphorus fertilizer was calculated in terms of P_2O_5. Five treatments were set up: 0(CK), 17(P1), 34(P2), 51(P3), and 68(P4) kg per Mu(1 Mu≈667 m~2). A randomized block design was adopted. Samples of P. tenuifolia and its rhizosphere soil were collected under different superphosphate fertilizer treatments. Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the rhizosphere soil microbial community, 9 morphological traits were measured and the content of 11 active ingredients were determined. The results showed that the whole plant weight, shoot fresh weight, root weight, and root peel thickness were the highest under P1 treatment, increasing by 34.41%, 38.80%, 39.21%, and 3.17% respectively compared to CK. Under P2 treatment, the plant height, stem diameter, root thickness, and core thickness were significantly higher than CK. Phosphorus fertilizer had a significant impact on the content of tenuifolin, sibiricose A5, sibiricose A6, arillanin A, 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, and polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Correlation analysis results showed that the relative abundance of Arthrobacter, Bacillus, norank＿f＿Vicinamibacteraceae, norank＿o＿Vicinamibacterales, MND1 and other bacteria, as well as the relative abundance of Neocosmospora, Paraphoma and other fungi were positively correlated with root diameter, wood core diameter, the whole plant weight, root weight, shoot fresh weight of P. tenuifolia. Bacillus, Neocosmospora, Subulicystidium were significantly positively correlated with oligosaccharides such as 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, sibiricose A5、sibiricose A6、glomeratose A、arillanin A and tenuifoliside C. Arthrobacter, Humicola, Aspergillus, Paraphoma were positively correlated with tenuifolin and norank＿f＿Vicinamibacteraceae, norank＿o＿Vicinamibacterales, Fusarium were positively correlated with polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Evidently, appropriate phosphorus application is conducive to the growth and quality improvement of P. tenuifolia, and can increase the abundance of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.

Objective:To establish a set of dynamic definition methods and key operational techniques for community pediatric services contents within the framework of an integrated children health services model.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From December 2023 to June 2024, a study was conducted at the Shanghai Gumei Community Health Service Center. The study was divided into three phases: identifying the health needs of community children (Phase A), developing the service content and methods for community children (Phase B), and establishing a community children service network (Phase C). A variety of methods, including questionnaires and focus group interviews, were comprehensively employed in each phase to develop the ABC demand network and its construction approach for community children, and to establish a networked service system.Results:A total of 512 questionnaires were distributed in Phase A, of which 499 were returned for an effective recovery rate of 97.5%. Of the parents, 488 (97.8%, 488/499) would actively seek information related to children′s health. Of those parents, 90.6% (452/499), 80.8% (403/499), and 71.9% (359/499) expressed concern about their children′s growth and development, mental health and social adaptation, and the prevention and treatment of common, frequently occurring diseases, respectively. The research clarified the health needs of children in the community and the health issues of children in different age groups. This included the mental health and social adaptation of community children, as well as common and frequently occurring diseases. The study also revealed a lack of mental health and social adaptation's services for children in the community. After sorting the community′s services into categories such as children′s growth and development detection, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and planned immunizations, and establishing corresponding service methods, it was found that Gumei community Health Service Center had strong diagnostic service capabilities for children aged 0-3 and 4-6, but need improved for children aged 7-12 and 13-15. At the same time, a service network consisting of five major categories, represented by medical alliances, has been established to address unmet needs in diagnosis and rehabilitation care for mental health and social adaptation, as well as major diseases.Conclusions:The study has developed an ABC demand network and its construction method for community children. It provides new ideas for defining the content of community pediatric services and establishing supporting methods, and it offers a practical basis for the constructing a community pediatric service system.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between dynamic alterations in serum albumin (ALB) concentrations and clinical outcomes in hospitalized surgical patients, thus providing a basis for optimizing clinical management strategies.Methods:This study utilized data from a prospective observational cohort study on nutritional status among 7 122 elderly hospitalized patients across 34 tertiary hospitals in 18 Chinese cities. A total of 1 714 surgical patients hospitalized for 7-30 days with complete data were included. Standardized protocols were used to collect demographic data, clinical outcomes, and a range of laboratory results, including nutritional and hematological parameters. Heterogeneous effects of ALB on clinical outcomes were explored. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine cutoff values for infection-related complications. Correlation analyses and multiple linear regression models were used to identify independent predictors of the absolute change in ALB (?ALB).Results:Among the surgical patients, 69.7% (1 195/1 714) experienced a decline in ALB levels during their hospital stay, which was significantly associated with the occurrence of both infection- and non-infection-related complications. Simultaneously, a marked decrease in ALB was also significantly correlated with changes in nutritional and inflammatory status during hospitalization, worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms at discharge, and functional activity abnormalities (all P<0.05). ?ALB exhibited a close association with outcome variables such as infection-related complications. Based on the incidence of infection-related complications, a cutoff value for ALB was calculated, dividing patients into a high-risk group ( n=179) and a low-risk group ( n=1 535), and a statistically significant difference in the incidence of infection-related complications was found between these two groups ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression modeling revealed that female gender, a higher baseline ALB level, a poorer baseline inflammatory status, an exacerbation of inflammatory status, larger alterations in platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the presence of infection-related complications were predictive factors for a decline in ALB levels among surgical patients during their hospital stay. Conclusions:?ALB serves as a critical indicator of the inflammatory-nutritional interplay, with its magnitude of decline effectively predicting clinical outcomes and nutritional status changes and guiding multidisciplinary interventions in surgical patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with exercise training on the recovery of rectus abdominis after delivery.Methods:This study used a case-control design. A total of 150 postpartum women with diastasis recti abdominis who were admitted to Women and Infants Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 2023 to March 2024 were selected for the study. The patients were divided into a treatment group ( n = 75, receiving low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with exercise training) and a control group ( n = 75, receiving exercise training only) based on the different treatment methods used. Both groups underwent treatment for 8 weeks. The inter-rectus distance, abdominal core muscle strength, pain levels, and thickness of the bilateral rectus abdominis muscles were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, the inter-rectus distances at 3 cm above the umbilicus, at the umbilicus, and 3 cm below the umbilicus in the treatment group were all smaller than those in the control group ( t = -3.25, -3.49, -4.52, all P<0.05). The time taken for the treatment group to complete the level 1 test of the eight-level abdominal bridge test was significantly longer than that in the control group [(62.00 ± 7.03) seconds vs. (35.89 ± 6.88) seconds, t = 22.99, P<0.05]. The root mean square values of the transverse abdominis muscle on both the affected side and the healthy side during the stepping test in the treatment group were greater than those in the control group [(6.70 ± 0.92) vs. (5.64 ± 0.89), t = 7.17, P<0.05]. The scores for each item on the Global Pain Scale and the total score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The thicknesses of the rectus abdominis muscles on both sides (left side: at the umbilicus, 3 cm below the umbilicus; right side: 3 cm above the umbilicus, at the umbilicus, and 3 cm below the umbilicus) in the treatment group were greater than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with exercise training can promote the recovery of rectus abdominis function, reduce the inter-rectus distance, improve core muscle strength, increase the thickness of the rectus abdominis, and relieve pain.

Objective:To analyze the short-term hospital-based transmission characteristics and gene variation of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) by genome-wide technique to provide evidence for transmission control. Methods:The experimental strain was derived from all the CRKP isolated in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from October 2022 to December 2023. Strain identification and drug susceptibility were tested with VITEK 2-Compact automatic bacterial identification drug susceptibility analyzer or disk method, and the results were interpreted through whole genome sequencing. The ST type, carbapenem resistance gene, virulence factor, and O serotype of the collected strains were analyzed.Results:Among the 115 strains of CRKP, 94 strains were isolated from the intensive care unit (ICU), accounting for 81.7%, and 21 strains were isolated from the non-intensive care unit (NICU), accounting for 18.3%. The 115 strains of CRKP can be divided into 11 ST types, of which ST11 type was the most (54.8%, 63/115), followed by ST15 type (22.6%, 26/115) and ST5492 type (15.7%, 18/115). Type ST5492 was a new clonal group in the region. The 115 strains of CRKP could be divided into 7 O serotypes, most of which were O2a type(32.2%,37/115), followed by O5 type(30.4%,35/115) and O1 type(27.8%,32/115). The resistance genes of carbapenem antibiotics showed that there were 107 strains carrying the blaKPC-2 gene, one strain with the blaNDM-1 gene, and one strain with both the blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-13 genes. Virulence genes were detected in 55 CRKP strains (47.8%, 55/115), among which six strains detected peg-344, iucA, iroB, rmpA, and rmpA2 virulence genes (5.2%, 6/115). Four virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA, rmpA, and rmpA2) were detected in 34 strains (29.6%, 34/115). Three virulence genes ( iucA, iroB and rmpA) were detected in two strains (1.7%, 2/115). Three virulence genes ( peg-344, iucA and rmpA) were detected in one strain (0.8%, 1/115). IucA and rmpA virulence genes were detected in 12 strains (10.4%, 12/115). KPC-2_ST11_O2a, KPC-2_ST15_O1 and KPC-2_ST5492_O5 were dominant clones, and their distribution was mainly in the intensive care unit. The whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were three dominant clones, among which ST11 clones were subdivided into three dominant O serotypes, all of which were mainly in the intensive care unit. Conclusion:The popular strain in the hospital of CRKP is a KPC-2_ST11 clone group carrying iucA, rmpA/rmpA2, with cross-department transmission and mutation. ST5492 is a newly-launched clone type. The intensive care unit of hvKP carrying five virulence genes, including peg-344, should be alert to the epidemic risk of CR-hvKP outbreak.
