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.

OBJECTIVE To confirm trigger items for adverse drug reaction (ADR) induced by bevacizumab, to identify and analyze the occurrence of related ADR, and to establish a predictive model for severe adverse reaction (SAR) caused by this drug. METHODS Based on the global trigger tool (GTT) theory, and referencing the GTT White Paper, drug package inserts and relevant literature, trigger items for bevacizumab-related ADR were confirmed using a single-round Delphi method. Utilizing these established items, electronic medical records of relevant patients at Guilin People’s Hospital from January 2020 to September 2024 were actively screened via the China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System. Pharmacists then identified and tallied the occurrence of bevacizumab-induced ADR. Data from patients with any positive trigger item served as the study subjects (divided into training and test sets at a ratio of 7∶3), candidate feature variables were selected from 39 related variables using the Boruta algorithm, and the multivariable Logistic regression analysis was performed with the occurrence of SAR as the dependent variable. Based on these candidate features, Logistic Regression, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, Random Forest, and Categorical Boosting models were constructed. Model performance was evaluated using metrics including the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve and recall rate. The Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was applied to analyze and interpret the contribution of each variable. A nomogram was constructed based on the optimal model. RESULTS A total of 38 trigger items for active monitoring of bevacizumab-related ADR were determined, comprising 17 laboratory indicators, 13 clinical manifestations, and 8 intervention measures. In total, 483 patients with positive trigger items were included, and 318 patients with bevacizumab-induced ADR were identified, including 83 SARs. The positive predictive values for the trigger items and cases were 43.57% (708/1 625) and 63.84% (318/483), respectively. Bevacizumab-induced ADR involved 7 systems/organs, with the hematological system being the most frequently involved (64.15%). The Boruta algorithm selected 7 vari ables: serum potassium, hematocrit, albumin-to-globulin ratio, prealbumin, hypertension history, age and red blood cell count. Multivariable Logistic regression showed that elevated serum potassium levels were associated with a decreased risk of bevacizumab-induced SAR (OR=0.234, P =0.002), while a history of hypertension (OR=2.642, P =0.006) and increased age (OR=1.040, P =0.025) were associated with an increased risk. The Logistic Regression model demonstrated superior performance with higher AUC, F1 score and recall rate (0.761, 0.447, 0.607), compared to other models. SHAP evaluation results indicated that variables such as serum potassium, hematocrit, and age ranked highest in importance. CONCLUSIONS Totally 38 trigger entries have been successfully identified for active screening of bevacizumab-related ADR. Elevated serum potassium levels are a protective factor against bevacizumab-induced SAR, whereas the hypertension history and increased age are risk factors. The Logistic Regression model is the optimal predictive model.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of informatization tools applied to antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China, and to provide a reference for promoting the informatization development of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals.METHODS From August to September 2025, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 007 county hospitals across 31 provinces(autonomous regions, and municipalities) in China. The survey focused on the application of four types of informatization tools:the real-time monitoring system for antimicrobial use, the pre-prescription review system, the irrational use warning system, and the electronic prescription evaluation system(hereinafter referred to as the “monitoring system”“review system”“warning system”“evaluation system”,respectively). Correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors.RESULTS Of the county hospitals, 80.83% were equipped with at least one type of informatization tool for antimicrobial stewardship, while 19.17% had no relevant tool. Only 18.87% of the hospitals were equipped with all four types of tools. The monitoring system exhibited the highest equipped rate (70.80%), whereas the warning system was equipped in only 33.96% of the hospitals. Four types of tools are evenly and adequately deployed in the eastern region, the central and western regions have far lower deployment rates of intervention tools including review system and warning system, accompanied by prominent intra-provincial gaps. The total number of the health technicians, hospital grade, and prescription review rate of outpatient antibacterial drug were significantly and positively correlated with the deployment rates of the four informatization tools ( P <0.05). The results of the Logistic regression model fitting indicated that the model of the review system was rated “excellent” [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC)=0.81], and the model of the warning system was rated “further improvement” (AUC=0.67). The total number of health technicians was significantly positively correlated with the deployment rates of all four types of informatization tools (all P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS The informatization of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China remains in the initial stage of transitioning from “passive statistics” to “active prevention and control”, with challenges such as structural imbalance and regional disparities. In the future, differentiated support strategies should be implemented, the allocation of resources should be optimized, to enhance the level of refined antimicrobial stewardship.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in the rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to clarify whether its mechanism is associated with regulation of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. MethodsGlycosides related to AD-associated neuroinflammation were screened through bibliometric analysis, and the potential targets of PF were predicted through network pharmacology and molecular docking. A rat model of AD was established by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose (100 mg·kg-1·d-1). Rats were assigned into a control group, a model group, a PF (200 mg·kg-1) group, and a donepezil (0.5 mg·kg-1·d-1) group, and drugs were administered by gavage for 21 days. The learning and memory abilities were evaluated by the Morris water maze (MWM). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were performed to observe hippocampal neuronal morphology. The mRNA levels of inflammatory factors were determined by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR), and the protein levels of molecules in the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed prolonged escape latency and decreased platform crossings and time spent in the target quadrant (P<0.05, P<0.01), accompanied by increased expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), as well as elevated ratios of phosphorylated (p)-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the PF group and donepezil group exhibited shortened escape latency and increased platform crossings and time spent in the target quadrant (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, upregulated mRNA levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), and reduced ratios of p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionPaeoniflorin can alleviate cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation in the rat model of AD by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

This article explores the pathogenesis , evolution and the prevention-treatment strategies of hypertension-related coronary microvascular dysfunction (H-CMD) from the collateral disease theory. Long-term hypertension may lead to coronary microvascular vasomotor imbalance, endothelial injury, vascular remodeling, microthrombosis, reduced perfusion reserve, and microvascular rarefaction, suggesting a progressive pathological process from functional disturbance to structural injury, collateral obstruction, and insufficient repair. Collateral disease theory emphasizes the network-like distribution, gradual branching, and permeating and nourishing functions of collaterals, as well as the concept that prolonged disease enters the collaterals, providing a reference for understanding coronary microcirculatory dysfunction and malnourishment of heart collaterals. Accordingly, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pathogenesis of H-CMD can be summarized into four interconnected stages: Collateral Qi stagnation, scorching injury of collateral vessels, phlegm-stasis obstruction of collaterals, and collateral deficiency with malnourishment. Collateral Qi stagnation is the initiating stage, mainly corresponding to abnormal coronary microvascular vasomotor regulation and endothelial dysfunction. Scorching injury of collateral vessels represents the developmental stage and is closely associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial barrier injury after Qi stagnation transforms into fire. Phlegm-stasis obstruction of collaterals represents the prolonged stage and may aggravate vascular wall thickening, luminal stenosis, microthrombosis, and insufficient microcirculatory perfusion. Collateral deficiency with malnourishment is the late-stage outcome, reflecting deficiency of healthy Qi, collateral damage, Qi-blood malnourishment, and weakened repair capacity, mainly manifested as microvascular rarefaction, occlusion, and microcirculatory homeostatic imbalance. Therapeutically, stage-based syndrome differentiation and the combined strategy of dredging and nourishing collaterals should be emphasized. Specifically, promoting Qi movement, resolving stagnation, soothing the liver, and harmonizing collaterals should be adopted in the early stage. Clearing heat, pacifying the liver, calming and protecting collaterals should be adopted in the developmental stage. Resolving phlegm, activating blood, and dredging collaterals should be implemented in the prolonged stage. Supplementing Qi, nourishing blood, tonifying the kidney, regulating balance, strengthening healthy Qi, and nourishing collaterals should be carried out in the late stage. Related formulas and medicinals may act by regulating the nitric oxide/endothelin-1(NO/ET-1) balance, inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress, improving microcirculatory perfusion, and promoting angiogenesis and endothelial repair. Collateral disease theory may provide a theoretical basis for understanding the dynamic pathogenesis of H-CMD and for stage-based TCM intervention.

Objective:To investigate the early right heart function management strategy and prognosis after left ventricular assist device(LVAD) implantation in patients with preoperative right ventricular dysfunction.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. From March 2022 to April 2024, a total of 28 patients with end-stage heart failure underwent LVAD implantation at Nanjing First Hospital and were admitted to the intensive care unit(ICU) after surgery. Among them, patients with preoperative right ventricular dysfunction were enrolled. All patients were implanted with Corheart 6 implantable left ventricular assist device. The clinical data, occurrence of postoperative right heart failure and postoperative survival situations of enrolled patients were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 12 patients were included in this study, including 11 males and 1 female, the mean age was(58.4±7.6) years old. Upon postoperative admission to ICU, the most commonly used positive inotropic agent was epinephrine(9 cases), followed by dobutamine(8 cases). By the second day after surgery, the most frequently utilized vasoactive medications were epinephrine and phosphodiesterase type Ⅲ inhibitors, both with 9 cases of usage. None of the enrolled patients utilized temporary mechanical circulatory assist devices. The LVAD pump speed of the patients enrolled in the study was set at approximately 2 700 revolutions per minute, and the pump flow was approximately 3 liters per minute. During the first two days after the operation, the fluid balance of the enrolled patients ranged from(-523.4±775.6)ml to(-1 248.0±1 023.9)ml. At 48 h following the operation, the mean pulmonary artery pressure(MPAP)[(26.2±4.8) mmHg vs.(32.1±6.5) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.042] and the pulmonary artery wedge pressure(PAWP)[(15.6±5.5)mmHg vs.(24.9±5.9) mmHg, P=0.003) ] of the enrolled patients were significantly decreased compared to preoperative levels, while the cardiac index(CI) was significantly improved[(2.7±0.2)L·min -1·m -2 vs.(2.1±0.5)L·min -1·m -2,P=0.024]. Echocardiography showed that the left atrial diameter(LAD)[(51.5±7.6)mm vs.(57.2±9.0)mm, P=0.005] and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDd)[(73.5±11.5)mm vs.(78.3 ± 12.3)mm, P=0.012) ] were significantly reduced post LVAD implantation as compared to before LVAD implantation, while there was no significant difference in tricuspid annular plane systolic excusion(TAPSE). Postoperative total bilirubin(TBIL) decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels[(15.5±5.0)μmol/L vs.(27.5±17.0)μmol/L, P=0.038]. Three patients experienced right heart failure after the LVAD implantation, with an incidence rate of 25%. Nevertheless, the right heart failure was rectified during the ICU treatment period. The mean ICU treatment time for all enrolled patients was(8.6±2.9) days, the average postoperative hospital stay was(24.3±4.8) days. All enrolled patients survived at 3 months after LVAD implantation. Conclusion:Despite the presence of right ventricular dysfunction in patients before LVAD implantation, with strict fluid management, reasonable LVAD parameters, and appropriate vasoactive drugs, they are able to smoothly pass through the perioperative period, achieve the goals of left ventricular decompression, increase cardiac output, improve perfusion of the end organs, and obtain favorable short-term therapeutic effects.
