Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective To investigate the impact of respiratory colonization of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)on 28-day mortality of patients with severe/critical coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)in in-tensive care unit(ICU).Methods Clinical data were collected from severe/critical COVID-19 patients admitted to general ICU and respiratory ICU in a tertiary Chinese medicine hospital from December 9,2022 to December 9,2023.According to the detection results of CRAB from sputum culture during ICU stay,patients were divided into respiratory CRAB colonization group and non-CRAB colonization group.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to compare the 28-day mortality between two groups of patients after ICU admission.Relationship between respiratory CRAB colonization and 28-day mortality was explored by Cox proportional hazards model,and subgroup analysis was performed.Results A total of 88 patients with severe/critical COVID-19 were included in analysis,out of which 27 had respiratory CRAB colonization(CRAB colonization group)and 61 didn't have respiratory CRAB colo-nization(non-CRAB colonization group);37 patients(42.0％)died within 28 days after admission to the ICU.Ka-plan-Meier survival curve showed that the 28-day mortality in CRAB group was higher than that in non-CRAB group(66.7％vs 31.1％,P＜0.001).Cox univariate analysis showed that the 28-day mortality risk of patients in the CRAB colonization group was 2.91 folds of those in the non-CRAB colonization group(HR=2.91,95％CI:1.52-5.58;P＜0.05).After covariates adjusting for age,sex,underlying diseases,white blood cell count,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,hypersensitive C-reactive protein,respiratory frequency,oxygenation index,lactate dehydro-genase,urea nitrogen,creatinine,lactic acid,and D-dimer,the risk of death in the CRAB colonization group was still higher than that in the non-CRAB colonization group(HR=2.54,95％CI:1.15-5.58;P＜0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that respiratory CRAB colonization and 28-day mortality in severe/critical COVID-19 ICU patients was affected by gender,serum albumin,creatinine,and D-dimer levels(interaction P＜0.05 for all).Conclusion The short-term mortality of severe/critical COVID-19 patients in the ICU increases significantly after secondary colo-nization of respiratory CRAB.Effective prevention and control of colonization and infection by multidrug-resistant organisms are crucial for ensuring patient prognosis.

Objective To study how lipid bilayer fluidity modulates the interaction between β1 integrin and CD40L,as well as the formation of CD40L-mediated tumor cell contact interfaces.Methods Supported lipid bilayers(SLB)with different fluidities were prepared through adjusting the 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[N-(5-amino-l-carboxypentyl)iminodiacetic acid]succinyl nickel salt(DGS-NTA)content.The functionalization of lipid bilayers was achieved by anchoring fluorescently labeled CD40L molecules onto the membrane surface.The contact interface formation of PC9 cells on the functionalized lipid bilayers was observed through confocal fluorescence imaging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching(FRAP)experiments,and data of two dimensional(2D)reaction kinetics of β1 integrin and CD40L were extracted from Zhu-Golan plots.Results The diffusion coefficient of molecules in lipid bilayer was negatively correlated with DGS-NTA content.High fluidity of lipid bilayer promoted CD40L accumulation at cell contact interface and expanded the cell contact area.The 2D dissociation constants(2D Kd)of β1 integrin-CD40L complexes were approximately 13,31 and 65 molecules/μm2 for the three lipid bilayers with high,moderate and low fluidities,respectively.Conclusions High fluidity of lipid bilayers significantly facilitates diffusion and aggregation of CD40L to the cell contact interface,thus enhancing β1 integrin-CD40L interaction and the stability of cell contact interfaces.

Objective To study the effect and molecular mechanism of vitamin D(VitD)on Tfh cells of MRL/lpr lupus mice.Methods C57/B6 mice and MRL/lpr lupus mice were transfected with siRNA to construct VDR knockout mouse models.Splenic Tfh cells of C57/B6 mice and MRL/lpr lupus mice were divided into control group,lupus group and VDRsiRNA lupus group(treated with vitamin D 0,1 and 10 nmol·L-1,respectively)by siRNA transfection.The percentage of Tfh cells was detected by flow cytometry.MRL/lpr lupus mice Peyer node Tfh cells were randomly divided into 7 groups,blank control group,vitamin D dose groups of 1 and 10 nmol·L-1,paricalcitol group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1+PA),VDRsiRNA control group,VDRsiRNA group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1),CaN inhibitor group(VitD 10 nmol·L-1+CsA),and incubated for 72 h.The concentration of calcium ions in Tfh of each group was detected.The expressions of AT1R,NFAT,CaN and P-CaN in Tfh cells were determined by Western blotting.Results The percentage of Tfh cells decreased significantly with the increase of vitamin D dose.Vitamin D CaN reduce the intracellular calcium concentration of Tfh,up-regulate the expression of AT1 protein in Tfh cells,and down-regulate the expression of CAN,P-CaN and NFAT protein in a dose-dependent manner,and the effect is more obvious when combined with PA.Conclusion Vitamin D may regulate the activation of follicular T helper cells in MRL/lpr mice via the Ca-CaN-NFAT pathway.
