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.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of 0.02％atropine eye drops for the treatment of nearwork-induced transient myopia(NITM)in adolescents.Methods A total of 131 adolescents with NITM were randomly divided into experimental(receiving 0.02％atropine eye drops)and control(receiving placebo)groups.Changes in the initial NITM values before medication and at 14 and 30 days after medication were observed.Alterations in intraocular pressure and accommodation amplitude were monitored,and the occurrence of complications,such as photophobia and near vision impairment,were recorded.Results The baseline NITM did not differ significantly between the two groups.On day 14 and day 30,the NITM values in the experimental group were significantly reduced compared to the baseline,with differences of 0.31 D±0.20 D and 0.30 D±0.16 D,which were significantly greater than those in the control group(0.21 D±0.98 D and 0.20 D±0.18 D,P＜0.001).The efficacy rate of NITM treatment in the experimental group was 84.4％,which was sig-nificantly higher than that in the control group(29.9％).After 30 days of treatment,no severe systemic or ocular adverse reactions were observed in the experimental group.Mild photophobia was the main adverse reaction.Conclusion 0.02％atropine eye drops can effec-tively reduce the initial NITM value in adolescents within a month of its use,with no severe complications and good tolerance.A clinical trial of atropine eye drops at different concentrations to reduce NITM over a longer period is warranted.

Aim To investigate the effect of chrysoeriol on pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hyper-tension by animal experiments combined with cell ex-periments,and to explore its potential therapeutic tar-gets by network pharmacology.Methods The target of chrysoeriol was collected in Targetnet,SEA and SwissTargetPrediction database.Pulmonary arterial hy-pertension(PAH)targets were collected in the Dis-GeNET and GeneCards databases,and PPI network map was drawn in the STRING database,and key tar-gets were screened.The GO and KEGG pathway en-richment analysis was carried out through DAVID data-base and Weishengxing platform.AutoDock software was used for molecular docking of key core targets.The PAH model of rats was constructed,and the pulmo-nary hemodynamics and vascular remodeling were de-tected by echocardiography,HE and Masson staining.Primary pulmonary smooth muscle cells were extracted,and the effects of drugs on pathway proteins were de-tected in vitro.Results The results of network phar-macology showed that chrysoeriol exerted therapeutic effects on pulmonary hypertension by affecting key tar-gets such as AKT1,SRC,EGFR,MMP9 and gsk3 β,and signaling pathways such as EGFR and PI3K-AKT.Molecular docking showed that chrysoeriol had good binding ability with 5 key target genes.Animal experi-ments showed that the pulmonary hemodynamic func-tion of PAH rats was significantly improved after ad-ministration of chrysoeriol.The remodeling of small pulmonary arteries was significantly reduced.Cell ex-periments showed that chrysoeriol could inhibit the ex-pression of proliferation,migration and phenotypic transformation genes.Conclusion Chrysoeriol may play a role in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension through multiple targets.

Objective To analyze the correlation between lesion volume,lesion mass,and maximum lesion diameter in the assessment of advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis,and to evaluate the application value of total volume response and total mass response of lung metastatic lesions in efficacy assessment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the CT imaging data of 20 patients clinically confirmed with hepatocarcinoma and lung metastases,followed by subsequent follow-up to monitor their survival outcomes.Volume measurement software was used to measure the volume of lesions before and after treatment.We recored lesion diameter,volume measurements and CT values,calculated the mass of the lesions.The correlation between lesion volume,mass and diameter was analyzed,as well as the correlation between the change rates of volume,mass and lesion diameter.Additionally,the total volume and total mass of all lesions were calculated.The correlation between the change rates of total volume/total mass and the change rate of pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria,as well as the correlation with changes in patients'tumor markers,were analyzed.Furthermore,the overall volume response and overall mass response of lesions were evaluated based on changes in total volume and total mass,and their consistencies with the RECIST 1.1 criteria for efficacy evaluation were analyzed.Finally,univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the association between these variables and patient survival outcomes.Results There was strong correlation between lesion volume,mass and tumor diameter(r=0.771,0.775),between the rate of change in mass and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.846),and between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and the rate of change in pulmonary lesion diameter under the RECIST 1.1 criteria(r=0.800,0.896).The correlation between the rates of change in total volume/total mass and patients'tumor markers was not statistically significant.There was moderate correlation between the rate of change in volume and the rate of change in lesion diameter(r=0.692).The evaluation results of total volume response and total mass response for pulmonary lesions in advanced hepatocarcinoma with lung metastasis were generally consistent with the RECIST 1.1 criteria(Kappa=0.486,0.426).Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed that total lesion volume(P=0.047)and total lesion mass(P=0.049)were independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.Conclusion Lesion volume,mass,and diameter,as well as their respective change rates,were found to be interrelated.Furthermore,total lesion volume and total lesion mass were identified as independent prognostic factors for survival outcomes.The total volume response and total mass response are promising evaluation methods in evaluating the efficacy of lung metastasis of hepatocarcinoma,which are different from the RECIST 1.1 evaluation criteria.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Prohibitin 2(PHB2)in the kidney tissue of patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease(DKD).Methods:From March 2015 to May 2024,samples were collected from 16 patients diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy through renal biopsy,who met the inclusion criteria(referred to as the DKD group).Additionally,20 patients with renal tumors undergoing nephrectomy,who had partially normal kidney tissue,were selected to serve as the control group(NC group).The pathological changes of the two groups of samples were evaluated by HE and PAS staining.Immunohistochemistry was utilized to analyze the differences in PHB2 protein expression between the two groups.Pearson or Spearman correlation methods were applied for statistical analysis.Results:PHB2 was expressed in renal tubules,and its expression level in the diabetic kidney disease(DKD)group was significantly lower than that in the normal control(NC)group(P＜0.05).Additionally,the expression level of PHB2 in diabetic nephropathy was found to be negatively correlated with glycated hemoglobin,serum creatinine,cystatin C,and blood urea nitrogen(P＜0.05).In contrast,there was a positive correlation between PHB2 expression and the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)(P＜0.05).Therefore,PHB2 expression serves as a negative correlation factor for serum creatinine,cystatin C,and blood urea nitrogen,while being a positive correlation factor for eGFR.Conclusions:In patients with diabetic nephropathy,the expression of PHB2 in renal tissue significantly decreases.This reduction in PHB2 levels closely correlates with glucose metabolism and renal function.Low levels of PHB2 may worsen glucose metabolism disorders,renal function damage,and proteinuria.Therefore,PHB2 serves as a potential biomarker for assessing prognosis and offers new insights into the treatment of diabetic kidney disease.

OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical effects of external fixation and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) after external fixation in treating open fractures of tibial shaft. METHODS: From January 2020 to June 2022, 151 patients with open fracture of tibial shaft treated with external fixation stenting were divided into external fixation group and combined group according to different surgical methods. There were 81 patients in external fixation group, including 48 males and 33 females, aged from 21 to 68 years old with an average of (42.58±7.44) years old;according to Gustilo classification, 49 patients with typeⅡ, 32 patients with type ⅢA;the time from injury to treatment ranged from 2.5 to 10 h with an average of (4.25±0.74) h;external fixed stenting was performed. There were 70 patients in combined group, including 42 males and 28 females, aged from 20 to 69 years old with an average of (41.39±7.02) years old;35 patients with type Ⅱ and 35 patients with type ⅢA according to Gustilo classification;the time from injury to treatment ranged from 3 to 9 h with an average of (4.31±0.85) h;MIPPO treatment was performed after external fixed stenting. The time of callus formation, fracture healing and complications were compared between two groups. Rasmussen score and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score were used to evaluate functional recovery of knee joint at 6 months after operation. RESULTS: Both groups were followed up for 6 to 13 months with an average of (10.17±2.33) months. The time of callus formation and fracture healing were (13.98±4.02) d and (70.26±12.15) d in combined group, and (18.56±4.37) d and (79.87±15.41) d in external fixation group, respectively. Combined group was better than external fixation group in the time of callus formation and fracture healing (P<0.05). At six months after operation, Rasmussen and HSS scores in combined group were (26.79±3.11) and (83.36±9.44), which were higher than those in external fixation group (24.51±4.63) and (79.63±8.46) (P<0.05). In external fixation group, there were 2 patients with incision infection, 2 patients with nail tract infection, 1 patient with stent loosening, fracture displacement, delayed union and malunion, and 1 patient with biocompatibility reaction in combined group, with statistical significance between two groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION MIPPO could accelerate callus formation and fracture healing, improve knee function, improve clinical effects and reduce complications in patients with open tibial shaft fractures after external and external fixation.
