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 To explore the risk factors of painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 269 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were treated in the Department of Endocrinology at Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2020 to December 2024 were selected. The patients were divided into two groups: T2DM without PDN (n=190) and T2DM with PDN (n=79). The general characteristics and biochemical indicators of the two groups of patients were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the associated factors with PDN in T2DM. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate fasting C-peptide (FC-P), body mass index (BMI), and disease duration to predict the risk of PDN. Results Compared with the T2DM group without concurrent PDN, the T2DM group with concurrent PDN had a longer disease course, lower BMI, higher HDL-C, lower FC-P, and a higher proportion of diabetic retinopathy. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, duration, and FC-P were associated factors of PDN. Conclusion BMI, duration and FC-P are associated factors of painful neuropathy complicated with type 2 diabetes.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(7):1026-1030
Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou, so as to provide reference basis for further exploring scientifically effective prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Reported cases of HFMD in children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou City from 2013-2025 were selected from China disease prevention and control information system, and the incidence in different years was analyzed descriptively; the trends of the composition ratio and incidence in various age groups were analyzed by using the Joinpoint regression model, spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed at the district level, and the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model (SARIMA) was applied to predict annual incidence rate for 2026.
Results:
From 2013 to 2025, the average annual reported incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou was 2 513.98/100 000, showing a fluctuating trend. Peaks of incidence occurred from May to July and from September to October. The male to female ratio was 1.49∶1. The average annual incidence rate was 4 743.99/100 000 in the 0-1 years age group, 3 298.19/100 000 in the 2-5 years age group, and 544.22/ 100 000 in the 6-9 years age group. Joinpoint regression analysis showed a decreasing trend in the proportion of the 0-1 years age group (APC= -6.02 %, t =-3.77) and an increasing trend in the proportion of the 6-9 years age group (APC=16.39%, t =5.67) (both P < 0.05 ). No significant global spatial clustering was observed at the district level; however, local scattered clusters were identified in certain areas. Using the SARIMA(2,0,0)(2,0,0) 12 model, the predicted annual incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou in 2026 was 2 680.56/100 000.
Conclusions
From 2013 to 2025, the annual incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou exhibited a fluctuating trend; the highest incidence rate is observed in the 0-1 years age group, while the proportion of cases in the 6-9 years age group increase year by year;and local spatial clusters of abnormal distribution are identified. It is essential to enhance risk monitoring and health education in key populations and areas to mitigate the risk of infection in children.

Objective:To investigate whether brown adipose tissue-derived exosomes(BAT-exos) could ameliorate endothelial cell injury by activating Pink1-Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy.Methods:Endothelial cell injury was induced with angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) to establish a cellular injury model. Exosomes were isolated from both brown adipose tissue and white adipose tissue and characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA), fluorescence labeling, and Western blot. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and apoptosis rates were determined by flow cytometry. Levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-6, and IL-8 were measured by ELISA. Mitochondrial autophagy was assessed by immunofluorescence colocalization, and protein expression levels of Pink1, Parkin, and LC3 Ⅱ/I were determined by Western blot.Results:Ang Ⅱ induced endothelial cell apoptosis, activated inflammatory responses, and suppressed mitophagy, as evidenced by decreased expression of mitophagy-related proteins. Following the successful characterization of BAT-exos, we found that BAT-exos activated mitophagy and alleviated endothelial cell injury, whereas white adipose tissue-derived exosomes(WAT-exos) inhibited mitophagy and exacerbated injury. Mechanistically, BAT-exos targeted the Pink1-Parkin signaling pathway to activate mitophagy.Conclusion:BAT-exos markedly improve endothelial cell injury by activating mitophagy through the Pink1-Parkin pathway, providing new insights and potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases.
