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 thymus is a key organ for T-cell development and the establishment of central immune tolerance. Research on immune function changes and long-term health risks following thymectomy is characterized by significant population heterogeneity and controversial conclusions. This article systematically reviews the key immunological alterations after thymectomy - including reduced T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire diversity, regulatory T cell (Treg) dysfunction, accelerated immune aging, and compensatory immune responses, and clarifies population differences in postoperative risks of infection, autoimmune diseases, and tumors, as well as the impact of surgical approaches. The clinical outcome after thymectomy is not solely determined by thymus loss, but rather depends on a dynamic balance between "immune deficiency risk" and "host compensatory capacity," which is modulated by multiple factors such as age at surgery, extent of resection, and individual immune status. This review proposes a "risk-compensation balance model" framework, providing an integrated theoretical basis for explaining the heterogeneity in outcomes across different populations and surgical methods. It also holds significant implications for future efforts in individualized surgical decision-making, establishment of stratified immune monitoring systems, and exploration of targeted immune intervention strategies.

Objective:To explore the potential profile characteristics of cancer-related worries in patients after surgery for early-stage lung cancer, and the influencing factors of different categories, provide reference for patients to formulate individualized rehabilitation programs and psychological intervention measures.Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was used to conveniently select patients who received outpatient follow-up after lung cancer surgery at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from October 2022 to October 2023 as the survey subjects. The general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of Brief Cancer-related Worry Inventory, the Chinese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, 10-item Connor Davidson Resilience Scale and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire were examined. Latent profile analysis was performed on the cancer-related worry scores of lung cancer surgery patients, and its influencing factors were explored by binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 302 patients after lung cancer surgery were included, including 111 males and 191 females, aged 18-83(52.73 ± 13.07) years, and the Chinese version of the Brief Cancer-related Worry Inventory scored 380.00 (130.00, 720.00) points. The cancer-related worry of patients after lung cancer surgery could be divided into two potential profile categories: "high worry type" (138 patients accounted for 45.70%) and "low worry type" (164 patients accounted for 54.30%). Symptom burden ( OR=1.055, 95% CI 1.039-1.072), illness perception ( OR=1.190, 95% CI 1.127-1.256), resilience ( OR=0.933, 95% CI 0.886-0.983), and coping modes of confrontation ( OR=0.857, 95% CI 0.757-0.971) and acceptance-resignation ( OR=1.247, 95% CI 1.050-1.481) were influencing factors for grouping cancer related worry profiles (all P<0.05). Conclusions:There was significant heterogeneity in the level of cancer-related worries among patients after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It is recommended that medical staff provide targeted continuity care measures based on the characteristics of worries of different categories of patients to improve patients' postoperative mental health and quality of life.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of esculin on hepatocyte steatosis by inhibiting protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase(PERK)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A(eIF2A)/activating transcription factor 4(ATF4)signaling pathway.Methods Human normal liver cell line HL-7702 was used to induce a fatty degeneration model of hepatocytes in vitro with 0.5mmol/L free fatty acid(FFA)(oleic acid∶palmitic acid=2∶1)and treated with 50μmol/L,200μmol/L esculin for 24h.After the cell samples were broken by ultrasound,the supernatant was collected and the contents of alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and triacylglycerol(TG)were detected.Using Nile red fat fluorescence staining to detect intracellular lipid droplets;Quantitative reverse transcriptase-mediated polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the transcription levels of genes related to intracellular lipid metabolism processes.Western blot(WB)was used to detect the protein expression levels of pro apoptotic factors Caspase-3 and Bax,as well as PERK/eIF2A/ATF4 signaling pathway related proteins and phosphorylation levels in cells.Results The results confirmed that treatments of 50μmol/L and 200μmol/L of esculin significantly decreased the levels of FFA induced MDA,ALT and AST in hepatocytes(P＜0.05),and significantly increased the levels of intracellular GSH(P＜0.05).WB results showed that esculin treatment could significantly reduce the protein expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax(P＜0.01).The results of Nile red staining and TG content detection confirmed that esculin treatment could significantly reduce the accumulation of intracellular lipid droplets and TG content(P＜0.05).The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression levels of PPARγ,FASN,Srebf1,Dgat2,Mvk and Acaca in hepatocytes were significantly decreased after esculin treatment(P＜0.05).In terms of mechanism,the phosphorylation levels of PERK,eIF2A and ATF4 in hepatocytes were significantly reduced by esculin treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Esculin could improve lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by regulating the PERK/eIF2A/ATF4 signalling pathway,which plays a positive role in maintaining the healthy state of hepatocytes.

Objective: The characteristics and differences of the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia were investigated to provide references and suggestions for the compilation of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
Methods: From the perspective of frame structure and main contents, the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was compared.
Results: Each volume of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia had its general notice, including 34 to 48 items and 10 to 12 chapters based on different varieties collected in each volume. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia had 49 items not arranged by chapters. There are many differences on the general notice between the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, such as the definitions and expressions of names, determination of appearance, revision rules, risk assessment and quality control conception. The framework of the general notice in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia was clear, the content was specific and the operation was friendly. The term description of the general notice in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia was concise, and some terms need to be implemented under the guidance of professional knowledge.
Conclusion: In light of comparative study, every volume’s general notice of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has its own characteristics. By integrating advanced analytical technique, combining the requirements with laws and regulations, and optimizing content and terms, all volume’s general notice could be explored to be coordinated and unified.

Background::The correlation between metals and hypertension, such as sodium, zinc, potassium, and magnesium, has been confirmed, while the relationship between aluminum and hypertension is not very clear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between plasma aluminum and hypertension in electrolytic aluminum workers by the Bayesian networks (BN).Methods::In 2019, 476 male workers in an aluminum factory were investigated. The plasma aluminum concentration of workers was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The influencing factors on the prevalence of hypertension were analyzed by the BN.Results::The prevalence of hypertension was 23.9% in 476 male workers. The risk of hypertension from plasma aluminum in the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups was 5.20 (1.90-14.25), 6.92 (2.51-19.08), and 7.33 (2.69-20.01), respectively, compared with that in the Q1 group. The risk of hypertension from the duration of exposure to aluminum of >10 years was 2.23 (1.09-4.57), compared without aluminum exposure. Area under the curve was 0.80 of plasma aluminum and the duration of exposure to aluminum was based on covariates, indicating that aluminum exposure had important predictive value in the prevalence of hypertension in the occupational population. The results of the study using the BN model showed that if the plasma aluminum of all participants was higher than Q4 (≥47.86 μg/L) and the participants were drinking, smoking, diabetes, central obesity, dyslipidemia, and aged >50 years, the proportion of hypertension was 71.2%.Conclusions::The prevalence of hypertension increased significantly with the increase of plasma aluminum level.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and vaccination of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:It was a cross-sectional survey. Through wechat questionnaire star mode, the status of SARS-CoV-2 infection, clinical manifestation after infection and vaccination of MHD patients in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between December 8, 2022 and January 12, 2023 were retrospectively collected during the period that SARS-CoV-2 infection was managed with measures against class B infectious diseases. The patients were grouped according to whether they were infected with SARS-CoV-2 and whether they were complicated with pneumonia after infection during the study period. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 infection combined with pneumonia or persistent symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 turning negative.Results:A total of 241 questionnaires were issued, and 223 valid questionnaires were returned, of which 175 patients (78.5%) were infected with SARS-CoV-2 during the study period. The time of negative conversion of antigen or nucleic acid after SARS-CoV-2 infection was 10 (7,14) days. Asymptomatic infections accounted for 10.3% (18/175). Symptomatic infections accounted for 89.7% (157/175), and the top five most frequent symptoms were cough (70.1%, 110/157), fever (64.3%, 101/157), pharyngeal pain (35.0%, 55/157), muscle pain (28.7%, 45/157), and nasal obstruction (21.0%, 33/157). Pneumonia was reported in 54.3% (95/175) of infected patients. There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender distribution, proportion of diabetes mellitus, and proportion of history of tumors between SARS-CoV-2-infected and uninfected patients (all P>0.05). Compared with the non-pneumonia group, the proportions of dyspnea (12.6% vs. 1.3%, χ2=8.181, P=0.004) and chest tightness (23.2% vs. 10.0%, χ2=5.293, P=0.021) in the pneumonia group were both higher. There were no significant differences in age, gender distribution, time of negative SARS-CoV-2 transition, number of symptoms and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rate,and proportions of diabetes mellitus and tumors between the pneumonia group and the non-pneumonia group (all P>0.05). There were 48.6% (85/175) infected patients having long-lasting clinical symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 turning negative. Logistic regression analysis results showed that diarrhea was an independent influencing factor of pneumonia in MHD patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 [ OR (95% CI)=6.323 (1.061-37.682), P=0.043]. The number of symptoms at onset [ OR (95% CI)=1.571 (1.318-1.873), P<0.001] and history of tumors [ OR (95% CI)=0.206 (0.054-0.777), P=0.020] were independent influencing factors of long-lasting clinical symptoms. The SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rate was 7.2% (16/223) in MHD patients due to safety concerns (81.2%, 164/202). Conclusions:MHD patients are SARS-CoV-2-susceptible population. The clinical symptoms after infection are diverse, heterogeneous, and the proportion of complicated pneumonia is high. Diarrhea is an independent influencing factor of pneumonia in SARS-CoV-2-infected MHD patients. Nearly half of patients experience long-lasting clinical symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 turning negative. The low rate of vaccination in the MHD population necessitates increased awareness about the safety and efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

OBJECTIVE To explor e the effect of clinical pharmacists participatin g in fine management of pharmaceutical affairs among the inpatients in the department of gastroenterology based on diagnosis related groups （DRG）data. METHODS The discharged patients in the gastroenterology department of our hospital were selected as the research objects to compare the changes of DRG indicators and hospitalization related indicators before （from April to December 2019）and after （from April to December 2020 and from April to December 2021） pharmacists participating in fine management of pharmaceutical affairs in the gastroenterology department. The key DRG with the highest number of enrolled cases and DRG cases of the total cost overrun were analyzed to explore the deviation of various costs. The rationality of drug use was evaluated for the cases in each DRG that exceeded the benchmark hospital payment standard by three times ，with the help of prescription doctor ’s advice review. RESULTS In the first year of intervention ，the case combination index value of gastroenterology department was increased ，meanwhile，the cost consumption index ，time consumption index and average hospital stay were decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. In the second year of intervention ，total weight of the cases in gastroenterology department was increased ，while cost consumption index ，time consumption index ，hospitalization cost per time ，drug cost per time and average hospital stay were all decreased significantly ， compared with before intervention （P＜0.01）. Among the top five DRG ，the drug cost per time in the GZ 15，GZ13 and GJ 15 were all decreased significantly in the first year of intervention ；hospitalization cost per time and drug cost per time in the GZ 15，GZ13， GJ15 and GJ 13 were all decreased significantly in the second year of intervention （P＜0.01）；after the intervention of clinical pharmacists in DRG over-expenditure cases ，the over-expenditure rate decreased significantly （P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS The fine management of pharmaceutical affairs in our hospital has achieved certain results and promotes the rationality of clinical drug use，and provides a new entry point for the cost control and utilization of medical institutions under the background of 〔2020〕68号） DRG.
