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.

OBJECTIVE:
Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health. Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment, including high dimensionality, correlated exposure, and subtle individual effects.
METHODS:
We proposed a novel statistical approach, the generalized functional linear model (GFLM), to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures. GFLM treats the effect of mixture exposures as a smooth function by reordering exposures based on specific mechanisms and capturing internal correlations to provide a meaningful estimation and interpretation. The robustness and efficiency was evaluated under various scenarios through extensive simulation studies.
RESULTS:
We applied the GFLM to two datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In the first application, we examined the effects of 37 nutrients on BMI (2011-2016 cycles). The GFLM identified a significant mixture effect, with fiber and fat emerging as the nutrients with the greatest negative and positive effects on BMI, respectively. For the second application, we investigated the association between four pre- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and gout risk (2007-2018 cycles). Unlike traditional methods, the GFLM indicated no significant association, demonstrating its robustness to multicollinearity.
CONCLUSION
GFLM framework is a powerful tool for mixture exposure analysis, offering improved handling of correlated exposures and interpretable results. It demonstrates robust performance across various scenarios and real-world applications, advancing our understanding of complex environmental exposures and their health impacts on environmental epidemiology and toxicology.

OBJECTIVE:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health concern in northwest China; however, the impact of particulate matter (PM) exposure during sand-dust storms (SDS) remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between PM exposure on SDS days and COPD hospitalization risk in arid regions.
METHODS:
Data on daily COPD hospitalizations were collected from 323 hospitals from 2018 to 2022, along with the corresponding air pollutant and meteorological data for each city in Gansu Province. Employing a space-time-stratified case-crossover design and conditional Poisson regression, we analyzed 265,379 COPD hospitalizations.
RESULTS:
PM exposure during SDS days significantly increased COPD hospitalization risk [relative risk ( RR) for PM 2.5, lag 3:1.028, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.021-1.034], particularly among men and the elderly, and during the cold season. The burden of PM exposure on COPD hospitalization was substantially high in Northwest China, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions.
CONCLUSION
Our findings revealed a positive correlation between PM exposure during SDS episodes and elevated hospitalization rates for COPD in arid and semi-arid zones in China. This highlights the urgency of developing region-specific public health strategies to address adverse respiratory outcomes associated with SDS-related air quality deterioration.

Background and Aims:Complex choledocholithiasis often coexists with stenosis of the ampulla of Vater,which increases the difficulty and complexity of treatment.If only the stones in the bile duct are removed without addressing the ampullary stenosis,the disease is prone to recurrence.Previously,most treatments involved the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)to guide the wire for sphincterotomy and stone extraction,followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.However,ERCP has limitations in handling complex cases.In response,our team pioneered a new method of treating choledocholithiasis combined with stenosis of the ampulla of Vater via a transabdominal approach.This study was performed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of this method,aiming to provide a new therapeutic option for clinical practice.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted with 120 patients treated at Chengdu Second People's Hospital from 2021 to 2023 for gallbladder stones and choledocholithiasis with stenosis of the ampulla of Vater.Patients were divided into an observation group and a control group,with 60 cases in each group.The observation group underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with choledochotomy for stone extraction,followed by retrograde guidance of duodenal papillary sphincterotomy through the opened bile duct,simultaneously treating gallbladder,bile duct stones,and stenosis of the ampulla of Vater.The control group underwent traditional ERCP approach for sphincterotomy,stone extraction,and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Perioperative variables were collected for both groups and the surgical outcomes were compared.Results:Among the 120 patients,54 were male and 66 were female.There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of stone extraction success rate,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative 24-h total bilirubin,direct bilirubin,transaminases,white blood cell count,jaundice relief time,or incidence rates of bile leakage,retroperitoneal bleeding/infection,and severe pancreatitis(all P>0.05).The observation group had significantly shorter average operative time and postoperative hospital stay compared to the control group(98.67 min vs.110.8 min,P<0.05;3.81 d vs.5.61 d,P<0.05).Additionally,the observation group had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative hyperamylasemia and/or hyperlipasemia and mild pancreatitis(1.67%vs.25.00%,P<0.001;0 vs.10%,P=0.027).Conclusion:The novel transabdominal approach is superior to the ERCP approach in terms of reducing surgery time and hospitalization time,and it carries a lower risk of postoperative mild pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia and/or hyperlipasemia.The stone extraction success rate is comparable to that of ERCP,making it a viable alternative treatment option.

Based on the theory of circulation of qi,a theoretical model of the circulation of phase fire in the human body was con-structed.It is proposed that cancer toxicity is the key factor that triggers the disorder of phase fire and hinders the circulation of phase fire.The disorder of phase fire and poor circulation are important pathogenesis of the occurrence and development of cancer toxicity.With the principle of strengthening healthy qi and eliminating evil qi,the Wenzi Jiedu method is used to treat tumors,which plays an important role in warming and nourishing,regulating yin and yang,and eliminating cancer toxicity.The combination of war-ming,nourishing and detoxification can promote the return of the phase fire and make the human body's generation and transformation active,providing a new treatment idea for TCM diagnosis and treatment of tumors with mainly cold poison or mixed cold and heat.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of modified multi-side hole nasobiliary drainage(MHND)via the percuta-neous transhepatic cholangiography(PTC)route with traditional percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD)for palliative treatment of patients with advanced obstructive cholangiocarcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data from 66 patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma who underwent biliary drainage.Results Both groups normalize temperature and alleviate symptoms of acute cholangitis within 24 h post-puncture.There was no statistically significant difference in laboratory indicators such as white blood cell(WBC),total bilirubin(TBiL),alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartic transaminase(AST)at 48 h post-operation,and in the incidence of bile leakage,biliary peritonitis,and cholangitis during the postoperative hospital stay(P>0.05).However,the incidence of postoperative electrolyte disorders,gastrointestinal symptoms,and the recurrence rate of gastrointestinal symptoms during the follow-up period were significantly higher in the PTCD group compared to the MHND group,while the recur-rence rate of biliary tract infections was slightly higher in the MHND group compared to the PTCD group.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Modified MHND shows better clinical efficacy in the treatment of patients with advanced tumor jaundice.Compared with traditional PTCD,it not only effectively reduces jaundice and relieves acute cholangitis but also significantly reduces gastrointestinal symptoms during the postoperative period,thereby improving the quality of life for patients.However,it is noteworthy that it may also increase the risk of biliary tract infections.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of cannulated screw internal fixation combined with quadratus femoris bone flap with preservation of the posterior superior retinaculum and cannulated screw internal fixation alone in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 83 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to the 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2018 to January 2023, including 56 males and 27 females, aged 28-55 years [(42.7±3.2)years]. According to Garden classification, the fractures were classified as type III in 22 patients and type IV in 61. Based on Pauwels classification, the fractures were classified as type I in 15 patients, type II in 38 and type III in 30. Forty patients were treated with cannulated screw internal fixation combined with modified quadratus femoris bone flap (cannulated screw combined with bone flap group) and 43 with cannulated screw internal fixation alone (cannulated screw group). The two groups were compared in terms of the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, time to weight-bearing, length of hospital stay, and wound healing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and Harris hip function scores at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The postoperative complication rate was detected.Results:All the patients were followed up for 20-70 months [(40.0±1.2)months]. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were (105.2±2.7)minutes and (100.6±16.3)ml in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, which were longer or more than (92.4±4.7)minutes and (92.5±14.6)ml in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). The time to weight-bearing was (12.1±1.4)weeks in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, shorter than (23.6±1.2)weeks in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). The incisions in both groups were healed by first intention. At 1 month after surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed in VAS scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the VAS scores were (6.6±0.2)points, (4.5±0.3)points, (3.2±0.5)points, and (2.6±0.4)points in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, lower than (7.0±0.1)points, (5.2±0.2)points, (3.9±0.4)points, and (3.3±0.1)points in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). At 1 and 3 months after surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed in the Harris hip function scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); at 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the Harris hip function scores were (82.2±1.7)points, (90.0±1.4)points, and (91.6±1.0)points in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, higher than (75.2±1.7)points, (83.4±1.9)points, and (85.2±0.7)points in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, the Harris hip function was rated excellent in 32 patients, good in 5, and fair in 3, with an excellent and good rate of 92.5%, while in the cannulated screw group, the Harris hip function was rated excellent in 20 patients, good in 13, and fair in 10, with an excellent and good rate of 76.7% ( P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 5.0% (2/40) in the cannulated screw combined with bone flap group, significantly lower than 23.2% (10/43) in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with cannulated screw internal fixation alone, cannulated screw internal fixation combined with quadratus femoris bone flap with preservation of the posterior superior retinaculum has the advantages of earlier weight-bearing, less pain, better recovery of hip joint function, and lower incidence of postoperative complications in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients, despite longer operation time and more intraoperative blood loss.
