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.

The patient was a 56-year-old man who presented with abnormal urinalysis findings of over one month’s duration. Serological tests revealed an elevated serum free light chain κ/λ ratio, and immunofixation electrophoresis detected an IgG-κ monoclonal band. Renal biopsy demonstrated membranous nephropathy, with electron-dense deposits observed in the subepithelial space and mesangium on electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence confirmed glomerular deposits of IgG1/IgG3-κ. Based on clinical manifestation, bone marrow flow cytology, and lymph node pathology, the patient was diagnosed with small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and membranous nephropathy with light chain-restricted deposition (IgG1/IgG3-κ) secondary to SLL. After receiving obinutuzumab treatment, the patient’s proteinuria partially remitted, the lymph nodes significantly shrank, and clinical remission was achieved.

Objective:To analyze the clinical data of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)in Linyi city of Shandong province from 2023 to 2024,analyze the related factors affecting the prognosis,improve the understanding of the disease and reduce its mortality..Methods:The data of 36 SFTS patients diagnosed and admitted to Linyi People's Hospital from May 2023 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the clinical outcomes of the patients,they were divided into a survival group(n=30)and a death group(n=6). The clinical data and laboratory test results of the two groups were analyzed to evaluate the risk factors related to prognosis.Results:The median age in the death group was 68.33 years old,and that in the survival group was 63.96 years old,with no statistically significant difference. All patients had fever,22 had fatigue and poor appetite,and 21 had muscle aches and other systemic symptoms. some were prone to general symptoms such as fatigue,poor appetite,and muscle soreness. All patients in the death group had neurological symptoms such as headache and consciousness disorders. The levels of serum potassium,CRP,PCT,IL-6,ALT,AST,CK,CK-MB,LDH,α-HBDH,APTT,D-D,and viral load in the death group were higher than those in the survival group,with statistically significant differences( t=-3.344, P=0.002; Z=-2.195, P=0.028; Z=-3.648, P=0.000; Z=-3.641, P=0.000; Z=-2.241, P=0.025; Z=-2.288, P=0.022; Z=-2.427, P=0.015; Z=-2.007, P=0.045; Z=-3.127, P=0.002; Z=-2.404, P=0.016; Z=-2.755, P=0.006; Z=-3.081, P=0.002; P<0.05). The platelet count in the death group was lower than that in the survival group,and the difference was statistically significant( Z=-3.292, P=0.001, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients with increased AST,CK,IL-6,APTT,D-dimer and decreased platelet count had an increased risk of death. Fungal infections occurred in 15 cases,including 5 cases of Candida albicans,3 cases of Candida parapsilosis,and 7 cases of Aspergillus. All patients in the death group had fungal infections,all of whom had Aspergillus infections. Conclusion:SFTS patients often have fever,fatigue,and muscle soreness,and critically ill patients are prone to neurological symptoms. Patients with elevated AST,CK,IL-6,APTT,D-D,viral load,and decreased platelet count in the course of the disease often indicate poor prognosis and should be closely monitored. In addition,critically ill patients are prone to fungal infection.

TAFRO syndrome is an idiopathic systemic inflammatory disease that overlaps with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD). The clinical features of TAFRO syndrome include thrombocytopenia (T), anasarca (A), fever (F), reticulin fibrosis/renal insufficiency (R) and organomegaly (O). The paper reports a special clinical subtype of iMCD—TAFRO syndrome in a patient, manifested as multiple-system involvement including serous effusion (ascites), fever, thrombocytopenia, anemia, multiple lymphadenopathies, pancreatitis and renal insufficiency. Bone marrow biopsy pathology showed active bone marrow hyperplasia. Renal biopsy revealed renal thrombotic microangiopathy, acute renal tubular interstitial injury combined with chronic lesions. Lymph node biopsy demonstrated lymphoproliferative lesions consistent with Castleman disease (hyaline vascular type). Following diagnosis, glucocorticoids, tacrolimus, rituximab and lenalidomide were administered, resulting in significant symptomatic improvement: ascites disappeared, and urinary findings, erythrocyte counts, renal function and hematological indexes normalized. The paper describes the patient's clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment process, and prognosis, and reviews relevant literature, to improve clinicians' understanding of this rare disease.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and risk factors for renal injury in children with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive IgA vasculitis (IgAV).Methods:A case-control study was conducted. Seventy-two ANCA-positive IgAV children hospitalized at the Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2017 to October 2022 were enrolled as the ANCA-positive group. Propensity score matching (1∶4) using the nearest neighbor was performed with age and gender as covariate, and 288 cases ANCA-negative IgAV children were included as the ANCA-negative group. Patients with renal injury were named ANCA-positive IgAV nephritis (IgAVN) group and ANCA-negative IgAVN group, respectively. The ANCA-positive IgAVN group was further divided into myeloperoxidase (MPO) group and proteinase 3 (PR3) group based on the type of ANCA. Clinical data including manifestations, laboratory tests, renal injury, and prognosis were collected. Comparisons between groups were performed using independent sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, χ2 tests, or Fisher′s exact tests. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess differences in the time to renal injury onset, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify independent risk factors for renal injury. Results:Among the 72 ANCA-positive IgAV children (41 males, 31 females, age of 7.7 (5.3, 11.2) years), no significant difference in age or gender was observed compared to the ANCA-negative group (both P>0.05). The ANCA-positive group had higher IgM levels, a higher incidence of recurrent rash, and shorter thrombin time (all P<0.05). Among children with renal injury, the ANCA-positive group showed significant differences in the incidence of hematuria, clinical classification, and grade A prognosis compared to the ANCA-negative group (all P<0.05), but no difference was found in the time to renal involvement onest or renal pathology (all P>0.05). The MPO group had higher rates of microscopic hematuria, gross hematuria, acute renal insufficiency, glomerular sclerosis, and grade B prognosis compared to the ANCA-negative IgAVN group (all P<0.05), with a later onset of renal involvement ( P<0.05). Elevated serum creatinine ( OR=1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.14) and shortened thrombin time ( OR=0.71, 95% CI 0.55-0.92) were independent risk factors for renal injury in ANCA-positive IgAV children (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Children with ANCA-positive IgAV are more likely to experience recurrent rash. MPO-ANCA-positive IgAVN children have higher risks of hematuria, acute kidney injury and glomerular sclerosis, with later-onset but poorer renal prognosis compared to ANCA-negative IgAVN children. Higher serum creatinine levels and shorter thrombin time may be associated with renal injury in children with ANCA-positive IgAV.

Objective:To study the CT and MRI features of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods:Clinical data of 41 patients with XGC admitted to Yueqing Third People's Hospital, Yueqing People's Hospital and Wenzhou Central Hospital from January 1, 2013 to December 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 21 males and 20 females, aged 63 (61, 65) years. Data including gender, age, clinical manifestations, CT and MRI features, were recorded.Results:Of the 41 patients, 26 had clinical manifestations of upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever, and 15 had upper abdominal pain accompanied by jaundice. Forty-one patients had positive percussion pain in liver area, of which 18 had positive Murphy’s sign and 12 had jaundice of the skin and sclera. Among the 25 patients who underwent CT examination, the gallbladder had a longitudinal diameter of 8 (5, 10) cm and a transverse diameter of 4 (3, 6) cm. The thickness of the thickened gallbladder wall was 1.6 (0.4, 1.9) cm. Most cases show diffuse uneven thickening, and a few cases show uniform diffuse or localized thickening. After enhancement, the thickened gallbladder wall can be seen as " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement or layered enhancement. Mucosal line is continuous or discontinuous. Eleven cases with low-density nodules between walls showed no enhancement. Among the 16 patients who underwent routine MRI examinations, the gallbladder had a longitudinal diameter of 8 (5, 10) cm and a transverse diameter of 4 (3, 6) cm. The thickness of the thickened gallbladder wall was 1.6 (0.4, 1.9) cm. Most cases show diffuse uneven thickening, and a few cases show uniform diffuse or localized thickening. There were nine cases of multiple small nodules between walls. The thickened gallbladder wall showed heterogeneous signal on T 1-weighted imaging (T 1WI) and T 2-weighted imaging (T 2WI), presenting equal, high, low, or mixed signals. T 1WI showed low signal intensity in reverse phase. Diffusion weighted imaging fat suppression sequence shows multiple small nodules within the wall with high signal intensity. Nine cases of intramural nodules showed high signal intensity on T 1WI in-phase, T 2WI, and T 2WI fat phase, low signal intensity on T 1WI in-phase, and low signal intensity on T 2WI fat suppression sequence. The wall of gallbladder showed " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement or layered enhancement. Mucosal line is continuous or discontinuous. Nine cases of intramural nodules showed no enhancement. Conclusions:The CT and MRI features of XGC are diffuse and uneven thickening with nodules between the gallbladder walls in most cases. Nodules with low density on CT plain scan, high signal on T 1WI in-phase, high signal on T 2WI, and low signal on T 1WI out-phase. The thickening of the gallbladder wall after enhancement is characterized by a " sandwich" - or " sandwich cookie" -like enhancement.
