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.

Despite significant advances in the field of critical care medicine over the past three decades, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) remains the primary temporary mechanical circulatory support modality for patients with acute severe circulatory failure. With the accumulation of clinical experience and the increasing maturity of operational techniques in V-A ECMO, its technical management—particularly hemodynamic management—has become a key factor influencing patient outcomes. To further improve patient survival, the Chinese Critical Care Ultrasound Study Group, in collaboration with the Hemodynamic Therapy of Critical Care Collaborative Group and the Critical Care Medicine Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, organized experts in critical care medicine to develop the Consensus on Hemodynamic Management in Adult Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (2026 Edition). Based on years of clinical experience and the latest evidence-based medical evidence, this consensus formulates 15 systematic recommendations covering the entire process of V-A ECMO, including initiation, management during support, and weaning, aiming to promote standardized application of hemodynamic management in V-A ECMO.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. As the incidence of AD continues to rise annually, researchers have shown keen interest in the active components found in natural plants and their neuroprotective effects against AD. Quercetin, a flavonol widely present in fruits and vegetables, has multiple biological effects including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. Oxidative stress plays a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, and the antioxidant properties of quercetin are essential for its neuroprotective function. Quercetin can modulate multiple signaling pathways related to AD, such as Nrf2-ARE, JNK, p38 MAPK, PON2, PI3K/Akt, and PKC, all of which are closely related to oxidative stress. Furthermore, quercetin is capable of inhibiting the aggregation of β‑amyloid protein (Aβ) and the phosphorylation of tau protein, as well as the activity of β‑secretase 1 and acetylcholinesterase, thus slowing down the progression of the disease.The review also provides insights into the pharmacokinetic properties of quercetin, including its absorption, metabolism, and excretion, as well as its bioavailability challenges and clinical applications. To improve the bioavailability and enhance the targeting of quercetin, the potential of quercetin nanomedicine delivery systems in the treatment of AD is also discussed. In summary, the multifaceted mechanisms of quercetin against AD provide a new perspective for drug development. However, translating these findings into clinical practice requires overcoming current limitations and ongoing research. In this way, its therapeutic potential in the treatment of AD can be fully utilized.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of benzoylaconine(BAC)on H9c2 cardio-myocytes after oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxyenation(OGD/R)injury.Methods After an in vitro model of OGD/R injury was established in H9c2 cells,the cells were treated with BAC at different concentrations(0,25,50,75,100 μmol/L)to determine its optimal dose.Then,H9c2 cells were randomly divided into control group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+BAC group(75 μmol),OGD/R+LY294002 group(PI3K/Akt inhibitor),and OGD/R+LY294002+BAC group.Corre-sponding reagent kits were used to determine cell viability and LDH level,as well as the expres-sion levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,MDA and GSH-Px in the cells.Western blotting was applied to detect the expression of the PI3K/Akt pathway proteins,as well as autophagic proteins such as LC3,Beclin1,and P62.Results Compared to the control group,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and LDH level was obviously increased in the OGD/R group(P＜0.01).Treatment of 75 μmol/L BAC significantly increased the cell viability(0.87±0.06 vs 40.49±0.06,P＜0.01)and decreased the LDH level(86.75±7.79 U/L vs 234.42±6.20 U/L,P＜0.01)when compared to the levels of the OGD/R group.OGD/R injury induced notable increases in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,and MDA expression levels,while decrease of GSH-Px expression level(P＜0.01),and down-regulation of p-PI3K,p-Akt and P62 and up-regulation of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ and Beclin-1(P＜0.01)when compared with the control group.Treatment of 75 μmol/L BAC increased the levels of p-PI3K,p-Akt,and P62 proteins(0.90±0.07 vs 0.58±0.04,1.02±0.02 vs 0.49±0.01,1.48±0.05 vs 0.87±0.04)and decreased those of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ and Beclin-1(0.52±0.01 vs 1.24±0.04,0.12±0.01 vs 0.32±0.02)when compared with the OGD/R group(P＜0.01).Conclusions BAC attenu-ates the inflammatory response and oxidative stress of myocardial cells after OGD/R injury,regu-lates autophagy homeostasis,and reduces myocardial cell damage.Its regulatory effect on myocar-dial autophagy homeostasis may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Objective To comparatively observe the value of 131I whole-body scanning(WBS)and 131I-SPECT/CT for evaluating residual thyroid tissue,lymph node and distant metastasis,as well as risk of recurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC)after surgical resection and initial radioactive iodine(RAI)treatment.Methods Totally 367 DTC patients who underwent initial RAI treatment after surgical resection and then 131I-WBS and 131I SPECT/CT scanning were retrospectively collected.131I-WBS and 131I SPECT/CT were compared for identifying residual thyroid,lymph node and distant metastases.According to follow-up results,the risk of DTC recurrence was evaluated based on 131I-WBS and 131I-SPECT/CT,respectively.Results Residual thyroid was detected in 353 cases and suspected in 3 cases with 131 I-WBS,which was diagnosed in 349 cases with 131I-SPECT/CT,and no significant difference was found between 2 methods(P=0.289).131I-WBS detected 36 cases with and suspected 67 cases with lymph node metastases,312 without distant metastases,while 131I-SPECT/CT diagnosed lymph node metastases in 52 cases;131I-WBS detected 20 cases with and suspected 35 cases with distant metastases,while 131I-SPECT/CT diagnosed 60 cases with distant metastases but could not diagnose in 3 cases,304 without distant metastases.The detection rate of 131I-SPECT/CT for lymph node and distant metastasis were both higher than that of 131I-WBS(P=0.018,P＜0.001).During follow-up period,there were 94 cases with low risk,155 with medium risk and 118 with high risk of DTC recurrence according to 131I-SPECT/CT,while 116 cases of low risk,137 of medium risk and 114 of high risk based on 131I-SPECT/CT,and the evaluating results were different between 2 methods in 40 cases(40/367,10.90％).Conclusion Compared with 131I-WBS,131I-SPECT/CT had better clinical value for evaluating lymph node and distant metastases and assessing recurrence risk of DTC after initial RAI treatment.

Objective:To compare and analyze the differences in positioning errors and placement outside the target area between two different image-guided systems(Halcyon and Synergy)in radiotherapy for cervical cancer.Methods:The data of 40 patients with cervical cancer who received treatment in Dezhou People's Hospital from March 2023 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected.Each patient was treated respectively with Halcyon linear accelerator and Synergy linear accelerator,with 20 cases for each treatment method.All patients underwent cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)at kV level to conduct image scanning before radiotherapy,and the obtained CBCT images were matched with the positioned CT images by online.The registration results of left and right(x),head and foot(y)and front and back(z)of three translation direction,and pitch(Rx),rotation(Ry)and deflection(Rz)directions of rotation direction were respectively obtained.The margin of planning target volume(MPTV)was calculated according to positioning expansion formula.The differences of positioning errors and target area expansion between Halcyon and Synergy image-guided systems were compared and analyzed.Results:Halcyon and Synergy image-guided systems obtained respectively 479 and 447 sets of CBCT images.The translational errors of Halcyon image-guided system on x,y,and z directions were respectively(-0.03±0.21),(0.12±0.63)and(0.02±0.15)cm,and the rotational errors of that on Rx,Ry and Rz directions were respectively(0.38±1.26)°,(-0.40±1.02)°,and(0.07±1.07)°.The translational errors of Synergy image-guided system were respectively(-0.07±0.18),(0.08±0.49)and(0.11±0.22)cm on the three directions,and the rotational errors of that were respectively(0.28±1.29)°,(-0.29±1.29)° and(-0.16±1.20)°.The translational error values on the y direction of both image-guided system were larger than that on x and z directions,and the absolute values of the range of translational errors of them were basically within 5 mm.There were no statistically significant difference in the positioning errors of rotation on Rx and Ry directions between Halcyon and Synergy image-guided systems(P＞0.05),while there was a statistically significant difference in the positioning error of rotation on Rz direction between them(t=-3.06,P＜0.05).The MPTV values of Halcyon image-guided system on x,y and z directions were respectively 0.4,1.4 and 0.3 cm,and those of Synergy image-guided system were respectively 0.4,0.9 and 0.5 cm.The expansion boundary of target area of Halcyon image-guided system on the y direction was larger than that of Synergy image-guided system,and that on other directions were all less or equal to 0.5 cm.Conclusion:The MPTV values of Halcyon and Synergy image-guided systems can meet clinical requirements in radiotherapy.The positioning errors and the tube current of the scan of Halcyon image-guided system were larger than those of Synergy image-guided system,but the scanning time and treatment time of that were significantly lower than those of Synergy image-guided system.Different treatment systems can be selected individually for patients according to their different conditions.

Objective To establish an efficient DNA extraction method for the batch identification of genotypes in model mice.Methods We extracted total DNA from transgenic mouse tails using four methods:alkaline simplified group,alkaline routine group,protease K cleavage group and DNA extraction kit group.The purity and concentration of DNA obtained by the four methods were measured,the effects of gel electrophoresis were evaluated,and the time and experimental costs of the four methods were compared.Results The protease K cleavage method produced the highest concentration of DNA,followed by the simplified alkaline boiling and routine alkaline boiling method.The reagent kit produced the highest DNA purity,followed by the simplified alkaline boiling method.The DNA templates obtained by the four method could be amplified by polymerase chain reaction and gel electrophoresis to obtain clear DNA target bands.In addition,the DNA template extracted by the simplified alkaline boiling method could be used for gene identification after storage at-20℃for 1 month,as well as requiring the least time and lowest costs.Conclusions The simplified alkaline boiling method is currently the simplest,fastest,and most economical DNA template-extraction method for batch identification of genotypes in model mice.

The aim of this study is to establish an gene editing method of Mesomycoplasma hyo-pneumoniae(Mhp)based on the homologous recombination principle.The restriction enzyme di-gestion and ligation method combined with gene synthesis were used to construct a shuttle plasmid to achieve replication in both Mhp and Escherichia coli(E.coli).The pGEM?-T vector was used as the skeleton.The oriC sequence of Mhp which can achieve the replication of the plasmid in Mhp was inserted into the vector.Sequences of the Spiroplasma promoter and puromycin resistance gene were then inserted into the above constructed plasmid to screen recombinant clones.The up-stream and downstream homologous arms of p97 were constructed to initiate homologous recombination.The recA gene of E.coli is inserted to improve the efficiency of homologous recom-bination.The obtained shuttle plasmid was then delivered into Mhp by electro-transformation or chemical transformation.A shuttle plasmid,pGEM?-Mhp-oriC-p 97,which can replicate in both Mhp and E.coli was constructed.With the transformation of this plasmid,the carried puromycin gene and recA gene can be expressed,the p97 gene can be edited.Finally,the genetically unstable p97 gene mutant was initially obtained.In this study,a tool for Mhp gene editing based on the principle of homologous recombination was established,which laid a foundation for the develop-ment of tools for studying the pathogenesis of Mhp.
