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.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of optical navigation system（ONS）-guided sacral neuromodulation（SNM）electrode implantation for precise puncture.Methods:?This study was a randomized，controlled trial. Patients who underwent SNM electrode implantation at the Gongli Hospital，Pudong New Area，Shanghai，from February 2024 to March 2025 were included. Inclusion criteria：aged 18?80 years，meeting the indications recommended by the Chinese expert consensus on the clinical application of sacral neuromodulation or expanded applications，and having completed pelvic CT and MRI examinations to ensure image quality for navigation system use. Exclusion criteria：progressive neurological diseases，severe urinary tract infections，urinary tract obstruction，or other conditions that may affect surgical outcomes and safety. Patients were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table and a single-blind design was implemented. The two groups underwent different puncture guidance methods in the stage Ⅰ surgery，but other treatments and follow-up measures were consistent.The experimental group used ONS-guided puncture with preoperative pelvic CT and MRI scans for multimodal image fusion and 3D reconstruction and software-based puncture path planning for real-time intraoperative guidance. The control group used X-ray-guided cross-positioning，determining the S3 sacral foramen for puncture based on anatomical landmarks with a metal positioning ruler under fluoroscopy. The puncture path was planned using software to achieve real-time intraoperative guidance. Intraoperative indicators（number of punctures，puncture time，electrode contact points，minimum effective voltage，X-ray fluoroscopy time，radiation dose，total surgical time）and postoperative outcomes（complications，pain scores，stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rates）were compared between the two groups to assess the advantages and feasibility of ONS-guided sacral nerve electrode implantation.Results:?A total of 35 patients were included in each group. The experimental group had fewer intraoperative puncture attempts［2.0（2.0，3.0）vs. 5.0（4.0，7.0）］and shorter puncture procedure time［7.5（6.0，10.0）min vs. 14.0（12.0，18.0）min］，indicating more accurate and efficient ONS-guided puncture. There was no statistical difference in the number of electrode contact points between the two groups［3.0（3.0，4.0）vs. 3.0（3.5，3.8）， P = 0.374］，but the experimental group had a lower effective voltage［1.8（1.8，2.5）V vs. 2.5（1.8，3.0）V］and shorter stimulator adjustment time［10.0（8.0，12.0）min vs. 16.0（13.0，20.0）min］. The experimental group had shorter intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy time［1.6（1.1，2.2）min vs. 4.6（3.8，6.0）min］，lower radiation dose［165.8（107.6，205.3）mGy vs. 427.4（325.1，636.5）mGy］，shorter total surgical time［52.0（49.0，57.8）min vs. 68.0（62.0，74.0）min］，less intraoperative blood loss［4.0（4.0，5.0）ml vs. 6.0（5.0，7.0）ml］，and a lower proportion of patients requiring supplemental local anesthesia［14.3%（5/35）vs. 40.0%（14/35）］. The postoperative wound infection rates were not statistically different between the two groups［0 vs. 2.9%（1/35）， P = 1.000］，but the experimental group had significantly lower pain scores on postoperative day 1［（1.9 ± 1.1）vs.（3.2 ± 1.4）］and a higher stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rate［85.7%（30/35）vs. 65.7%（23/35）］，with statistically significant differences（ P < 0.05）. Conclusions:?ONS-guided SNM electrode implantation reduces the number of puncture attempts，surgical time，and X-ray radiation，effectively lowers the effective voltage，and increases the stage Ⅱ permanent implantation rate.

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 explore the role of miR-429 in synovial mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(SMSC-Exos)in repairing cartilage damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJ OA)by extracting SMSC-Exos from human synovial tissue and screening differentially expressed microRNA(miRNA)through transcriptome sequencing.Methods Human synovial tissues were obtained from 6 patients who underwent surgery at the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from June to December 2023,including 3 patients with osteoarthritis(OA group)and 3 control patients(control group),all of whom were male.SMSC-Exos were extracted from the synovial tissues for miRNA sequencing and differential expression analysis.Further,Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were performed on the target genes of differentially expressed miRNA to identify key functional miRNA and construct miRNA-target gene regulatory networks and protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks of target genes.An in vitro model of rabbit condylar cartilage cell inflammatory microenvironment induced by interleukin-1β(IL-1β)was established,with the control group cultured in DMEM/F12 basic medium and the inflammation-induced group cultured in DMEM/F12 basic medium containing 10 ng/ml IL-1β.RT-qPCR was used to detect the effects of overexpressed target miRNA on the mRNA expression levels of cartilage phenotype factors such as type Ⅱ collagen α1 chain(Col2a1),aggrecan(Acan),as well as inflammatory factors including a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5(Adamts5)and cyclooxygenase-2(Cox-2).Results(1)SMSC-Exos were successfully isolated,cultured,and identified.(2)miRNA sequencing of SMSC-Exos from OA and control groups revealed 16 differentially expressed miRNAs(|log2FC|>2,P<0.05).Compared with control group,7 miRNAs were up-regulated and 9 were down-regulated in OA group.GO and KEGG analysis indicated that the target genes of miR-429 were mainly involved in development process,anatomical structure development,system development,cell development and differentiation,and were enriched in inflammation-related pathways such as mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B(PI3K-Akt).(3)Functional validation of miR-429 in the rabbit condylar cartilage cell inflammatory model showed that overexpression of miR-429 increased the mRNA expression levels of Col2a1 and Acan(P<0.05)and decreased the mRNA expression levels of Adamts5 and Cox-2(P<0.05)in the inflammation-induced group.Conclusions miRNA sequencing of SMSC-Exos isolated and identified from human synovial tissues reveals a specific miRNA expression profile in OA patients,with miR-429 significantly down-regulated.Functional validation demonstrates that overexpression of miR-429 has reparative and anti-inflammatory effects on condylar cartilage cells in an inflammatory microenvironment.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease by examining the effects of dihydroartemisinin(DHA)on cognitive behavior,hippocampal,cerebral cortex and retinal cell morphology,β-amyloid(Aβ)and autophagy-related proteins in 5×FAD mice.Methods Twenty 5×FAD mice and 5 wild type(WT)mice were selected,all of which were female.The 5×FAD mice were randomly divided into model(M)group,donepezil(D)group,low-dose DHA(DHA-L)group,and high-dose DHA(DHA-H)group.The WT and M groups were not treated,and the D group was given donepezil 0.1 mg/kg per day.DHA-L group and DHA-H group were given 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg DHA per day,respectively.Group D,group DHA-L and group DHA-H were given intragastric administration once a day for 3 months.The changes of in cognitive behavior were measured by Morris experiment.HE staining was used to observe the arrangement and morphology of nerve cells in cerebral cortex,hippocampus and retina.The expressions of Aβ protein in cerebral cortex,hippocampus and retina were detected by immunohistochemistry.Western blotting detected the expression of autophagy related proteins(LC3-Ⅰ,LC3-Ⅱ,Beclin-1,P62,β-actin).Results The DHA-H group and the D group exhibited more frequent adoption of both linear and trending exploration routes.Compared to the model group,significant differences in the contents of Aβ in the hippocampal CA1,cerebral cortex S1,and retinal were observed(P＜0.0001)in the other four groups.The analysis also showed significant differences in autophagy-associated proteins between the DHA-L,DHA-H,and model groups(P＜0.01).Conclusion DHA improves cognitive function and increases the number of nerve cells in mice.It also reduces Aβ content in the cerebral cortex,hippocampus,and retina,along with improving autophagy-associated protein deposition in mice.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) combined with budesonide versus the intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) technique in preterm infants (26–32 weeks’ gestation) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Methods:This randomized controlled trial enrolled 136 premature infants with RDS admitted to our NICU between January 2021 and December 2023. Participants were allocated to either the LISA+budesonide group ( n = 70) or the INSURE group ( n = 66). The LISA+budesonide group received surfactant mixed with budesonide via a laryngoscope-guided catheter during noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) ventilation, while the INSURE group underwent endotracheal intubation for surfactant delivery followed by extubation to NCPAP. Outcomes included adverse events during administration, blood gas parameters (PaO 2/FiO 2 [P/F ratio] and PaCO 2 at 1 h and 6 h post-administration), respiratory support duration, oxygen dependency, intubation rates within 72 h, apnea episodes, budesonide-related complications, and incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Results:The LISA+budesonide group exhibited significantly lower rates of adverse events during administration compared to the INSURE group: regurgitation (10.0% vs. 24.2%; P < 0.05), bradycardia (8.6% vs. 24.2%; P < 0.05), and oxygen desaturation (15.7% vs. 30.3%; P < 0.05). Intubation time did not differ between groups ( P > 0.05).At 1 h and 6 h post-administration, the LISA+budesonide group demonstrated higher P/F ratios ( P < 0.05), with no significant differences in PaCO 2 ( P > 0.05).The LISA+budesonide group required shorter durations of noninvasive respiratory support [(10.4 ± 4.4) d vs. (13.9 ± 5.2) d; P < 0.05] and total oxygen therapy [(15.7 ± 6.2) d vs. (19.2 ± 8.2) d; P < 0.05]. Rates of intubation within 72 h, PS re-administration, apnea episodes, weaning failure, and hospitalization length were comparable ( P > 0.05).BPD incidence was significantly lower in the LISA+budesonide group (10.0% vs. 22.7%; P < 0.05), with no increase in glucocorticoid-related complications ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:In preterm infants (26–32 weeks) with RDS, LISA with budesonide reduces adverse events during surfactant delivery, improves oxygenation, shortens respiratory support duration, and lowers BPD incidence without additional complications compared to INSURE.

Numerous studies on the formation and consolidation of memory have shown that memory processes are characterized by phase-dependent and dynamic regulation. Memory retrieval, as the only representation of memory content and an active form of memory processing that induces memory reconsolidation, has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Although the molecular mechanisms specific to memory retrieval-induced reconsolidation have been gradually revealed, an understanding of the time-dependent regulatory mechanisms of this process is still lacking. In this study, we applied a transcriptome analysis of memory retrieval at different time points in the recent memory stage. Differential expression analysis and Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) depicting temporal gene expression patterns indicated that most differential gene expression occurred at 48 h, and the STEM cluster showing the greatest transcriptional upregulation at 48 h demonstrated the most significant difference. We then screened the differentially-expressed genes associated with that met the expression patterns of those cluster-identified genes that have been reported to be involved in learning and memory processes in addition to dipeptidyl peptidase 9 (DPP9). Further quantitative polymerase chain reaction verification and pharmacological intervention suggested that DPP9 is involved in 48-h fear memory retrieval and viral vector-mediated overexpression of DPP9 countered the 48-h retrieval-induced attenuation of fear memory. Taken together, our findings suggest that temporal gene expression patterns are induced by recent memory retrieval and provide hitherto undocumented evidence of the role of DPP9 in the retrieval-induced reconsolidation of fear memory.

This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Daotan Xixin Decoction on APP/PS1 mice. Twelve APP/PS1 male mice were randomized into four groups: APP/PS1 and low-, medium-, and high-dose Daotan Xixin Decoction. Three C57BL/6 wild-type mice were used as the control group. The learning and memory abilities of mice in each group were examined by the Morris water maze test. The pathological changes of hippocampal nerve cells were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of β-amyloid(Aβ)_(1-42) in the hippocampal tissue. The high-dose Daotan Xixin Decoction group with significant therapeutic effects and the model group were selected for high-throughput sequencing. The differentially expressed gene(DEG) analysis, Gene Ontology(GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and Gene Set Variation Analysis(GSVA) were performed on the sequencing results. RT-qPCR and Western blot were conducted to determine the mRNA and protein levels, respectively, of some DEGs. Compared with the APP/PS1 group, Daotan Xixin Decoction at different doses significantly improved the learning and memory abilities of APP/PS1 mice, ameliorated the neuropathological damage in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, increased the number of neurons, and decreased the deposition of Aβ_(1-42) in the brain. A total of 1 240 DEGs were screened out, including 634 genes with up-regulated expression and 606 genes with down-regulated expression. The GO analysis predicted the biological processes including RNA splicing and protein folding, the cellular components including spliceosome complexes and nuclear spots, and the molecular functions including unfolded protein binding and heat shock protein binding. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed the involvement of neurodegenerative disease pathways, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and splicing complexes. Further GSVA pathway enrichment analysis showed that the down-regulated pathways involved nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)-mediated tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) signaling pathway, UV response, and unfolded protein response, while the up-regulated pathways involved the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The results of RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that compared with the APP/PS1 group, Daotan Xixin Decoction at different doses down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3), NF-κB, and interleukin-6(IL-6) in the hippocampus. In conclusion, Daotan Xixin Decoction can improve the learning and memory abilities of APP/PS1 mice by regulating the STAT3/NF-κB/IL-6 signaling pathway.
