Despite significant advances in the field of critical care medicine over the past three decades, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) remains the primary temporary mechanical circulatory support modality for patients with acute severe circulatory failure. With the accumulation of clinical experience and the increasing maturity of operational techniques in V-A ECMO, its technical management—particularly hemodynamic management—has become a key factor influencing patient outcomes. To further improve patient survival, the Chinese Critical Care Ultrasound Study Group, in collaboration with the Hemodynamic Therapy of Critical Care Collaborative Group and the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, organized experts in critical care medicine to develop the Consensus on Hemodynamic Management in Adult Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (2026 Edition). Based on years of clinical experience and the latest evidence-based medical evidence, this consensus formulates 15 systematic recommendations covering the entire process of V-A ECMO, including initiation, management during support, and weaning, aiming to promote standardized application of hemodynamic management in V-A ECMO.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression levels and combined detection efficiency of serum mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean platelet volume (MPV), and tumor gene ( WT-1) in elderly patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). METHODS: One hundred elderly MDS patients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected as observation group, and eighty healthy subjects during the same period were selected as control group. The levels of MCV, MPV and WT-1 were detected, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of combined detection of the three indicators in the prediction of MDS. The expression and correlation of MCV, MPV and WT-1 in elderly patients with MDS were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS: The levels of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P <0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that MCV was positively correlated with MPV and WT-1 (r =0.724, 0.733), while MPV was positively correlated with WT-1 (r =0.731). MCV, MPV, and WT-1 were independent influencing factors for elderly MDS (all P <0.05). The combined detection of the three indicators had the largest area under the curve (AUC) (0.873, 95%CI : 0.776-0.893) in the diagnosis of elderly MDS, with a sensitivity of 95.00%, a specificity of 90.00%, and Youden index of 0.850. The diagnostic value was significantly higher than that of a single indicator (both P <0.05). The levels of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 in severe patients were significantly higher than those in mild patients (all P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of MCV, MPV, and WT-1 were influencing factors of severe elderly MDS. The ROC curve analysis showed that the combined diagnosis of MCV, MPV and WT-1 had the largest AUC for predicting severe MDS in elderly patients (0.897, 95%CI : 0.709-0.926), and the sensitivity and specificity were 93.18% and 91.07%, respectively (P <0.05). CONCLUSION MCV, MPC, and WT-1 are highly expressed in elderly patients with severe MDS. These three indicators can reflect the bone marrow hematopoietic function status of the subjects. However, compared with single indicator detection, the combined detection of the three indicators is more effective in diagnosis. It has certain advantages in elderly MDS and disease staging, and its promotion and application value is higher.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

A comprehensive analytical method based on ultra-fast liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry(UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS) was established for simultaneous determination of the content of 45 bioactive constituents including flavonoids, alkaloids, amino acids, phenolic acids, and nucleosides in Epimedium brevicornum. The multiple bioactive constituents in leaves, petioles, stems and rhizomes of E. brevicornum were analyzed. The gradient elution was performed at 30 ℃ in an XBridge~® C_(18) column(4.6 mm×100 mm, 3.5 μm) with 0.4% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL·min~(-1). Single factor experiment and response surface methodology were employed to optimize the extraction conditions. Multivariate statistical analyses including systematic cluster analysis(SCA), principal component analysis(PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA), and one-way analysis of variance(One-way ANOVA) were carried out to classify the samples from different parts and identify different constituents. Grey relation analysis(GRA) and entropy weight-TOPSIS analysis were performed to build a multi-index comprehensive evaluation model for different parts of E. brevicornum. The results showed that there was a good relationship between the mass concentrations of 45 constituents and the corresponding peak areas, with the correlation coefficients(r) not less than 0.999 0. The precision, repeatability, and stability of the established method were good for all the target constituents in this study, with the relative standard deviations(RSDs) less than 5.0%(0.62%-4.9%) and the average recovery of 94.51%-105.7%. The above results indicated that the bioactive constituents varied in different parts of E. brevicornum, and the overall quality followed the trend of leaves > petioles > rhizomes > stems. This study verified the rationality of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition) stipulating that the medicinal part of E. brevicornum is the leaf. Moreover, our study indicated that the rhizome had the potential for medicinal development. The established method was accurate and reliable, which can be used to comprehensive evaluate and control the quality of E. brevicornum. This study provides data reference for clarifying the medicinal parts and rationally utilizing the resources of E. brevicornum.
