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.

ObjectiveTranscranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) has emerged as a promising noninvasive neuromodulation technique capable of modulating neural activity with high spatial specificity. However, whether tFUS stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can reliably evoke conscious tactile perception without external peripheral sensory input remains unclear. Therefore, this study examined the feasibility of inducing hand-related tactile perception through targeted S1 stimulation and further investigated how sonication duration (SD), a key temporal parameter, influences the consistency of this perceptual response. The findings may provide empirical evidence for optimizing tFUS parameters in human somatosensory modulation. MethodsForty-eight healthy adults participated in the study and were assigned to two experiments. Experiment 1 included 24 participants and was designed to preliminarily examine whether S1-targeted tFUS could evoke hand-related tactile sensations. This experiment comprised two sub-experiments, Experiment 1a and Experiment 1b, with 12 participants in each. Specifically, Experiment 1a used a randomized active stimulation protocol targeting the bilateral S1 to assess the initial feasibility of inducing contralateral tactile perception, whereas Experiment 1b employed an alternating hemispheric design incorporating both active and sham stimulation to verify the specificity of the tFUS-induced sensations. Experiment 2 enrolled another 24 participants and used a real-sham dual-probe design to control for spatial tactile cues that might arise from probe-scalp contact. Five SD levels, including 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1 000 ms, were systematically tested to evaluate how stimulation duration influenced the behavioral response. The primary behavioral outcome was the perceptual consistency rate, quantified according to the accuracy of contralateral tactile localization. ResultsIn Experiment 1, 91.7% of participants reported reliable hand-related tactile sensations during active tFUS stimulation, including numbness, tingling, or similar sensory experiences. Contralateral localization accuracy under active stimulation was significantly higher than the0.50 chance level (P<0.05). In contrast, localization performance under sham stimulation did not differ from chance, suggesting that the observed tactile responses were mainly induced by active S1-targeted tFUS stimulation rather than nonspecific stimulation cues. In Experiment 2, perceptual consistency rates significantly exceeded the chance level under the 400 and 1 000 ms SD conditions(P<0.05), whereas no significant effect was observed at 200, 600, or 800 ms. Pairwise comparisons further showed that the 400 and 1 000 ms conditions produced significantly higher perceptual consistency rates than the 200 ms condition (P<0.05). ConclusiontFUS stimulation of S1 can elicit distinct hand-related tactile sensations without peripheral sensory input, demonstrating the feasibility of using targeted cortical ultrasound stimulation to induce conscious somatosensory perception. The reliability of this perceptual effect was modulated by sonication duration, indicating that temporal stimulation parameters play an important role in shaping both the occurrence and consistency of behavioral responses. Among the tested conditions, 400 ms appeared to provide a favorable temporal window for generating stable tactile perception, whereas excessively short stimulation may be insufficient to produce consistent responses. These findings highlight the sensitivity of somatosensory networks to ultrasonic modulation and provide useful parameter guidance for the application of tFUS in noninvasive sensory enhancement and cortical functional mapping.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and shear wave elastography (SWE) with pathological classification and prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods:A total of 87 patients (103 lesions) with breast cancer admitted to Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital and the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University From May. 2021 to Mar. 2024 were retrospectively included. All patients underwent CDFI and SWE examinations before surgery. The pathological characteristics and molecular typing of each lesion were recorded, and the correlation of CDFI and SWE examination parameters with molecular typing of breast cancer was evaluated. Patients were followed up for 1 year, and the predictive value of CDFI and SWE parameters in lymph node metastasis was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) .Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the pulse index (PI) , resistance index (RI) , maximum lesion elastic modulus (E max) , and the ratio between the elastic value at the hardest lesion and the elastic value of adipose tissue (E ratio) among patients with different pathological types ( F=0.64, 0.13, 0.81, 2.84, P>0.05) . There were no statistically significant differences in PI and RI values among patients with different tumor sizes ( F=2.99, 1.81, P>0.05) , and statistically significant differences in E max and E ratio among patients with different tumor sizes ( F=6.42, 34.31, P<0.05) . The differences among different molecular types PI, RI, E max, and E ratio were statistically significant ( F=406.59, 245.23, 206.30, 204.36, P<0.05) , and Luminal B type PI, RI, E max, and E ratio were the highest, followed by HER2-positive, triple-negative, and Luminal A type, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . PI, RI, E max and E ratio in patients with positive lymph node metastasis were higher than those in patients with negative lymph node metastasis ( t=4.99, 3.04, 2.70, 3.13, all P<0.05) . ROC results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of PI, RI, E max and E ratio for predicting lymph node metastasis of breast cancer were 0.654, 0.704, 0.664 and 0.696, respectively. The sensitivity to predict lymph node metastasis of breast cancer was 74.19%, 54.84%, 51.61%, 64.52, and the specificity was 54.17%, 79.17%, 79.17%, 70.83% (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The correlation of CDFI and SWE examination parameters are correlated with the molecular classification of breast cancer, and the prediction of lymph node metastasis of breast cancer is good.
