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 potential mechanisms by which the natural herbal monomer scutellarin alleviates ischemic stroke(IS)using network pharmacology and in vivo experimental validation.Methods Potential targets of scutellarin were predicted using SwissTargetPrediction and PharmMapper,and standardized via UniProt.IS-related differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were obtained from the GSE22255 dataset in the GEO database,with screening criteria of|log10FC|≥1 and P＜0.05.Venny 2.1.0 analysis was used to identify overlapping targets.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks were constructed using STRING and visualized in cytoscape.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were performed.Molecular docking was conducted using AutoDock Vina 1.5.6 to assess the binding affinity between scutellarin and hub targets.Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)mouse model was established and divided into sham,MCAO,and MCAO+scutellarin groups.Real-time PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of hub genes and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/Akt pathway components in the ischemic cortex.Results A total of 325 scutellarin targets and 2168 IS-related DEGs were identified,with 29 overlapping targets.GO analysis yielded 51 biological processes,5 cellular components,and 8 molecular functions.KEGG enrichment highlighted PI3K/Akt and metabolic pathways.PPI analysis identified Caspase-3,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2(PTGS2),peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha(PPARA),and interleukin-2(IL-2)as key hub proteins.Molecular docking showed strong binding affinities between scutellarin and these proteins.Real-time PCR result confirmed that scutellarin modulated the expression of hub genes and activated the PI3K/Akt pathway.Conclusion In the MCAO mouse model,scutellarin exerts neuroprotective effects by modulating targets such as CASP3,EGFR,PTGS2,PPARA,and IL-2,and activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,exhibiting multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics.

Malignant tumors in children are one of the most important diseases that threaten the health and quality of life of children and are the second most common cause of death in children.With the continuous improvement and progress of treatment technology, the long-term survival rate of children with tumor has been significantly improved, but both the disease itself and the treatment can impair the immune function of children, which makes them vulnerable to various infectious diseases and secondary serious complications, and even become a source of infection, endangering the health of others. Vaccination is the most cost-effective measure to prevent infectious diseases. For children with normal immune functions, the benefits of vaccination usually outweigh the disadvantages. However, there is a lack of detailed data on the vaccination situation, efficacy and safety of vaccine use for such immunocompromised tumor survivors, and there are no authoritative and uniform vaccination recommendations. This article reviewed and summarized the literature and consensus of some domestic and foreign scholars on current status of post-treatment vaccination status, efficacy and safety of vaccination for children with tumors after treatment, with the aim of providing a reference for the practice in this field in China.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of plasma-derived exosomal microRNA-1306-5p(miR-1306-5p)on inflammation,apoptosis and oxidative stress in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells in sepsis,and to explore the potential mechanisms.Methods Sepsis plasma-derived exosomes and healthy plasma exo-somes were separated and divided into healthy plasma exosomes group and sepsis plasma-derived exosomes group.The exosomes were observed by electron microscopy,the physical parameters of the two groups of exo-somes were analyzed,and the expression of miR-1306-5p in the exosomes was detected.Intestinal mucosal epi-thelial cells were divided into control group,negative control group of miR-1306-5p mimic(mimic-NC group),miR-1306-5p mimic group(mimic group),mimic combined with overexpression of PLK1 empty vector group(mimic-PLK1-EV group),and mimic combined with overexpression of Polo-like kinase 1(PLK1)group(mimic+PLK1-OE group).Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of miR-1306-5p and PLK1 in each group,and protein imprinting was used to detect the expressions of miR-1306-5p target genes PLK1,caspase 3,B lymphoblastoma-2(Bcl-2)and Bcl2-associated X protein(Bax).Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the binding effect of miR-1306-5p and PLK1,and flow cytom-etry was used to detect apoptosis.The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 in the supernatant of cultured cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The expressions of reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were detected by kit method.Results The plasma derived exosomes of sepsis and healthy plasma were ellipsoid in shape,and there was no significant difference in physical parameters(P＞0.05).Compared with the healthy plasma exosomes group,the expression of miR-1306-5p was up-regulated in the plasma derived exosomes of sepsis group(P＜0.05).PLK1 was identified as the target gene of miR-1306-5p by double luciferase reporter method.Compared with mimic-NC group,the expressions of miR-1306-5p,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8,IL-1β,caspase3,Bax,ROS and MDA were up-regulated,the apoptosis rate was increased,and the expressions of PKL1,Bcl-2,GSH and SOD were down-regulated in mimic group(all P＜0.05).Compared with mimic+PLK1-EV group,the expressions of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8,IL-1β,caspase3,Bax,ROS,and MDA were significantly down-regulated,the apoptosis rate was decreased,and the expressions of PKL1,Bcl-2,GSH and SOD were up-regulated in mimic+PLK1-OE group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Plasma derived exosome miR-1306-5p in sepsis promotes inflammation,apoptosis and oxidative stress damage of intestinal mucosal epi-thelial cells by targeting PKL1 inhibition.

Objective To investigate the effects of astragaloside Ⅳ(AS-Ⅳ)on axon growth inhibitory factor A(Nogo-A)and its downstream pathway protein RHO-associated coiled spiral kinase 2(ROCK2)in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)mice,and to explore the mechanism by which it promotes axon repair and regeneration.Methods EAE model was induced in C57BL/6 female mice by subcutaneous injection of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein 35-55(MOG35-55).Mice were randomly divided into EAE group and AS-Ⅳ group(n=8 per group).EAE group received intraperitoneal injection of PBS on the 3rd day post-immunization,while AS-Ⅳ group was administered AS-Ⅳ at a dosage of 30mg/(kg.d)once daily,0.2 ml per injection,for 25 consecutive days.On the 28th day post-immunization,the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43(GAP-43),neuronal core antigen(NeuN),microtubule associated protein 2(MAP-2),glial fibroacidic protein(GFAP),and Iba1 in the spinal cord were detected using immunofluorescence assay.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)was conducted to detect mRNA expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,and Nogo receptor(NgR)genes.Western blotting was utilized to determine the expression levels of GAP-43,Nogo-A,ROCK2,phosphorylated myosin phosphatase(p-MYPT1),B-lymphoblastoma-2(Bcl-2),and Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax).Results Compared with EAE group,AS-Ⅳ treatment significantly reduced the positive cell expression rates of Iba1 microglia and GFAP astrocyte in spinal cord(P<0.01 and P<0.001,respectively),while it also increased the positive expression rates of NeuN and MAP-2(P<0.001 and P<0.05,respectively).The treatment also upregulated the expression level of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2(P<0.001)and downregulated the expression level of pro-apoptotic factor Bax(P<0.05),leading to an increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.05).Furthermore,AS-Ⅳ enhanced the expression of GAP-43 protein(P<0.05)and decreased the mRNA expression levels of neuroregeneration inhibitor Nogo receptor(NgR)and ROCK2 gene(P<0.001,P<0.05,respectively);as well as decreased the expression levels of Nogo-A,ROCK2 and p-MYPT1 proteins(P<0.05,P<0.001).Conclusion AS-Ⅳ may inhibit the activation of microglia and astrocytes and neuronal apoptosis in EAE mice by inhibiting Nogo-A and downstream pathway ROCK 2,thereby promoting the expression of GAP-43,NeuN and MAP-2,alleviating neuronal damage,and facilitating axon repair and regeneration.
