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.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

ObjectiveAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with communication and social interaction, restricted and repetitive behaviors. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with ASD exhibit early and lifelong attention deficits, which are closely related to the core symptoms of ASD. Basic visual attention processes may provide a critical foundation for their social communication and interaction abilities. Therefore, this study explores the behavior of children with ASD in capturing attention to changes in topological properties. MethodsOur study recruited twenty-seven ASD children diagnosed by professional clinicians according to DSM-5 and twenty-eight typically developing (TD) age-matched controls. In an attention capture task, we recorded the saccadic behaviors of children with ASD and TD in response to topological change (TC) and non-topological change (nTC) stimuli. Saccadic reaction time (SRT), visual search time (VS), and first fixation dwell time (FFDT) were used as indicators of attentional bias. Pearson correlation tests between the clinical assessment scales and attentional bias were conducted. ResultsThis study found that TD children had significantly faster SRT (P<0.05) and VS (P<0.05) for the TC stimuli compared to the nTC stimuli, while the children with ASD did not exhibit significant differences in either measure (P>0.05). Additionally, ASD children demonstrated significantly less attention towards the TC targets (measured by FFDT), in comparison to TD children (P<0.05). Furthermore, ASD children exhibited a significant negative linear correlation between their attentional bias (measured by VS) and their scores on the compulsive subscale (P<0.05). ConclusionThe results suggest that children with ASD have difficulty shifting their attention to objects with topological changes during change detection. This atypical attention may affect the child’s cognitive and behavioral development, thereby impacting their social communication and interaction. In sum, our findings indicate that difficulties in attentional capture by TC may be a key feature of ASD.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of press-needle assisted sedation therapy in sedation treatment of intensive care unit (ICU) under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.Methods:A total of 30 critically ill patients admitted to the ICU of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from July 2024 to January 2025 were selected. A prospective self before-after control method was used. On the basis of conventional analgesic and sedative drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine press-needles were combined to stimulate the head emotion area, Yintang (GV29), Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), and Zusanli (ST36). The BIS, dosages of remifentanil and propofol, respiratory and circulatory functions, and lactate levels before and after treatment were compared.Results:The BIS value dropped to stability (21.90±13.67)min after press-needle treatment, with a decrease of (5.73±1.42) ( P<0.05). The dosage of propofol within 8 h after press-needle treatment was reduced by (1.08±0.33)mg/kg compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure, oxygenation index, and lactate level before and after treatment (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Press-needle assisted sedation therapy can improve the sedative effect, reduce the dosage of propofol sedatives, and has good safety.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and ultrasonic imaging features of neurogenic pulmonary edema, aiming to improve clinicians' diagnosis and treatment level of neurogenic pulmonary edema and reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.Methods:The ultrasonic features and clinical data of a patient with neurogenic pulmonary edema were retrospectively analyzed, and the imaging features, diagnosis and treatment experience of neurogenic pulmonary edema were summarized by combining with literature analysis.Results:The ultrasonic manifestation of neurogenic pulmonary edema was diffuse B-lines in the lungs, and etiological diagnosis needed to be further confirmed by combining with clinical data. Electrical impedance tomography for dynamically monitoring pulmonary ventilation may guide respiratory treatment.Conclusions:Neurogenic pulmonary edema is mostly secondary to craniocerebral injury, and the case-fatality rate is extremely high once it occurs. Early application of bedside point-of-care ultrasound for rapid assessment, comprehensive monitoring and precise treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate whether continuous cardiac output (CO) parameters obtained by LiDCO in hemodynamic monitoring of severe patients are consistent with pulse index continuous cardiac output (PiCCO).Methods:From May 18, 2024 to January 10, 2025, 12 critically ill patients who were monitored by PiCCO in the Intensive Care Unit Department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital were prospectively collected. The PiCCO and LiDCO systems were simultaneously connected to the same critically ill patient, injected with ice saline for external calibration, and the average of paired continuous CO measurements were collected. Bland-Altman was used to analyze whether the two were consistent, and Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between norepinephrine dosage and bias.Results:In the data series of 70 pairs, the CO measured by PiCCO was 5.55±1.74, and the CO measured by LiDCO was 4.40(2.90, 6.50), with a bias of 0.52(95% CI: 0.07-0.96) and an upper limit of agreement of 4.2(95% CI: 3.4-4.9), the lower limit of the conformance limit was -3.1(95% CI: -3.9 to -2.4), and the percentage error was 66%, exceeding the clinically acceptable 45%. In the data series where norepinephrine was continuously pumped at the time of data collection, there was a moderate positive correlation between norepinephrine dosage and absolute bias ( r=0.47, P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in absolute values of bias between groups defined as 0.5 μg/(kg·min) and 1 μg/(kg·min) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is no clinically acceptable consistency between LiDCO and PiCCO for continuous CO monitoring in severe patients, and the size of bias may be related to the dosage of norepinephrine.
