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.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and its pathogenesis is largely modulated by abnormal angiogenesis. Previous research has indicated that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5), an important demethylase affecting N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) modification, plays a role in regulating angiogenesis in cardiovascular and eye diseases. Our present study found that ALKBH5 was upregulated and co-localized with cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) in the skin of IMQ group compared with control group. ALKBH5-deficient mice decreased IMQ-induced psoriatic dermatitis and exhibited histological improvements, including decreased epidermal thickness, hyperkeratosis, numbers of dermal capillary vessels and inflammatory cell infiltration. ALKBH5-KO mice alleviated angiogenesis in psoriatic lesions by downregulating the protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Additionally, the expression of ALKBH5 was significantly upregulated in IL-17A-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which further promoted the expression of angiogenesis-related cytokines and endothelial cell proliferation. Cell proliferation and angiogenesis were suppressed in ALKBH5 knockdown group, whereas ALKBH5 overexpression promoted these processes. The regulation of angiogenesis in HUVECs by ALKBH5 was facilitated through the AKT-mTOR pathway. Collectively, ALKBH5 plays a pivotal role in psoriatic dermatitis and angiogenesis, which may offer a new potential targets for treating psoriasis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 140 patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to January 2024. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 70 cases in each. The control group received nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system, while the observation group received nursing measures based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model. Treatment compliance, bleeding status, length of hospital stay, psychological state, and self-management behavior scores were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the treatment compliance of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) . The bleeding cessation time and hospital stay time were shorter in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Eight weeks after intervention, the scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Six months after intervention, the scores of all dimensions and the total score of self-management behaviors in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing interventions based on the Rockall scoring system combined with the SBAR communication model can improve treatment compliance, reduce negative emotions, and enhance self-management ability in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

With the widespread application of nuclear technology,the prevention and treatment of radiation damage have become significant issues in the fields of public health and medicine.This article reviews the adverse drug reactions and their monitoring for radioprotective drugs,and discusses their post-marketing re-evaluation in terms of safety,efficacy,economics,and quality standards.Research indicates that while there is a wide variety of radioprotective drugs,safety concerns are prevalent.Future efforts should focus on strengthening the monitoring and management of adverse drug reactions,optimizing drug safety,and exploring the potential of combined drug applications through multidisciplinary collaboration to enhance anti-radiation efficacy.
