This article provides a systematic interpretation and review of the Society of Critical Care Medicine 2024 Guidelines on Adult ICU Design. Developed based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology, the guideline address five core themes: ICU layout, room design, infection control, infrastructure, and staff spaces, and put forward 17 evidence-based recommendations, including 5 good practice statements. This article briefly introduces the guideline development methods and evidence characteristics, and focuses on summarizing key recommendations, including high-visibility layouts, single-bed ward settings, natural lighting and noise reduction strategies, integrated infection prevention and control design, remote monitoring, and flexible capacity expansion capabilities. Furthermore, it delves into the applicability and localized implementation pathways within China's healthcare environment, analyzing limitations in terms of evidence quality, specialty applicability, and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, by integrating the Chinese Guidelines for the Construction and Development of Critical Care Medicine (2025 Edition) and current domestic practices, the article proposes tiered and phased implementation recommendations. This article aims to provide domestic healthcare institutions with a scientific reference that balances international cutting-edge concepts with China's real-world conditions for the construction and renovation of ICUs, thereby promoting the development of intensive care environments centered on patient safety, healthcare worker well-being, and infection control.

Research on IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), an autoimmune condition recognized to be a unique disease entity only two decades ago, has processed from describing patients' symptoms and signs to summarizing its critical pathological features, and further to investigating key pathogenic mechanisms. Challenges in gaining a better understanding of the disease, however, stem from its relative rarity-potentially attributed to underrecognition-and the absence of ideal experimental animal models. Recently, with the development of various high-throughput techniques, "omics" studies at different levels (particularly the single-cell omics) have shown promise in providing detailed molecular features of IgG4-RD. While, the application of omics approaches in IgG4-RD is still at an early stage. In this paper, we review the current progress of omics research in IgG4-RD and discuss the value of machine learning methods in analyzing the data with high dimensionality.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Objective:This study aims to explore the changes in brain surface morphology and their association with psychological characteristics in adolescents experiencing their first episode of major depressive disorder.Methods:This study included 48 adolescents with first-episode major depressive disorder (depression group) admitted to the Department of Psychiatry of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2021 to July 2022. At the same period,35 healthy controls (control group) were also enrolled,from communities of Chongqing. All participants underwent assessments for depressive symptoms, emotion regulation capacity, impulsiveness, and psychological resilience using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD 17), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Structure magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) was utilized to evaluate brain surface morphology. The values of cortical thickness, fractal dimension, sulcus depth, and cortical gyrification index were calculated. The index of brain surface morphology between the two groups was compared using the two-sample t-test, chi-square test, and non-parametric statistical tests with multiple comparisons correction using threshold-free cluster enhancement (TFCE) and false discovery rate (FDR). Pearson correlation analyses were used to analyze the correlation between the scores of each scale (HAMD 17, PHQ-9, ERQ, BIS-11, and CD-RISC) and the cortical thickness values and fractal dimension in the depression group. In addition, multiple linear regression was used to analyze the impact of clinical symptoms on the cortical thickness values in the depression group. Results:Compared with the control group, the depression group exhibited a significant reduction in the cortical thickness of the left occidental (FDR corrected, P<0.05) and an increase of the fractal dimension in the right insula, right superior temporal gyrus, and right transverse temporal gyrus (TFCE uncorrected, P<0.001). Correlation analyses showed that left occipital cortical thickness was positively correlated with the cognitive reappraisal scores of ERQ ( r=0.315, P=0.029), the total score of CD-RISC ( r=0.366, P=0.016), and the unplanned impulsiveness scores of BIS-11 (reverse scoring for this dimension) ( r=0.354, P=0.014). The partial correlation analysis revealed a positive linear correlation between cortical thickness and unplanned impulsiveness scores after controlling for age ( r=0.467, P=0.001). However, after Bonferroni correction, these correlations were not statistically significant. Conclusions:Compared with healthy individuals, adolescents with first-episode depressive disorders demonstrated increased fractal dimension in the right insula, right superior temporal gyrus, and right transverse temporal gyrus and decreased cortical thickness in the left occipital lobe. The decreased cortical thickness in the left occipital lobe was associated with impaired emotion regulation ability and impulse control ability during periods of stress.
