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.

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.

Background and purpose:The treatment of recurrent,metastatic,and treatment-na?ve advanced cervical cancer remains challenging.Immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy and targeted therapy has shown preliminary clinical benefits,however,current evidence remains limited.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy on the prognosis of patients with recurrent,metastatic,and treatment-na?ve advanced cervical cancer.Methods:In this study,we conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data from 130 patients with recurrent,metastatic,and treatment-na?ve advanced cervical cancer admitted to Minhang Branch of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2019 to 2025.The patients were categorized into the observation group(n=70),which included those who received camrelizumab with or without chemotherapy and targeted therapy,and the control group(n=60),including those who received chemotherapy and targeted therapy.Survival analysis was performed using the log-rank test,and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to explore prognostic factors.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Minhang Branch of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center[Approval number:(2024)Review No.(015)]and all informed consents were exempted.Results:The objective response rate(ORR)in the observation group was 72.9%,and the disease control rate(DCR)was 80.0%,which were significantly higher than those in the control group with an ORR of 20.0%(χ2=36.1,P＜0.001)and a DCR of 40.0%(χ2=21.8,P＜0.001).The median progression-free survival(PFS)in the observation group was not reached,significantly longer than that in the control group of 7.0 months(P＜0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified camrelizumab treatment as an independent protective factor for PFS(P＜0.001).Age,site of recurrence/metastasis,initial treatment approach,and histopathological type were not significantly associated with PFS.In the observation group,adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported in 29 patients(41.4%),which primarily included vasculitis,hypothyroidism,hypersensitivity reactions,and diarrhea.Conclusion:The use of camrelizumab significantly improved treatment outcomes and prognosis for patients with recurrent,metastatic,and treatment-na?ve advanced cervical cancer,with significantly improved progression-free survival.Although a certain proportion of patients experienced adverse events of grade 3 or higher,the overall safety profile was acceptable.In clinical practice,immunotherapy offers a more effective treatment option for patients.

Objective To investigate correlations of the ratio of specific brain region volume to total brain volume(ratio％),standard uptake value(SUV)of specific brain region based on 18F-FDG PET/MR examination in Alzheimer disease(AD)patients,as well as the relationship between changes of these two.Methods Fifty AD patients were retrospectively collected.Based on FDG PET/MR,the ratio％and the mean SUV(SUVmean)of 40 specific brain regions were obtained,and the correlation between ratio％and SUVmean for each region were evaluated.According to a database of normal brains,Z-scores for ratio％and SUVmean were calculated to represent structural and functional changes in AD patients,and the correlation between these 2 Z-scores was assessed.Results Correlations were found between ratio％and SUVmean,also between Z-scores of these two parameters in 29 brain regions(r=0.288 to 0.778,all P＜0.05).Among them 7 brain regions,i.e.bilateral middle temporal gyrus,right fusiform gyrus,right hippocampus,right precuneus,left lingual gyrus and right parahippocampal gyrus exhibited correlation coefficients greater than 0.6.Conclusion There were some relationships between brain structural and metabolic functions and their changes in AD patients showed on FDG PET/MR.

Objective:This study aimed was to analyze the disease progression of postoperative recurrence/me-tastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)and provide clinical evidence for evaluating the difference in prog-nosis between site and pattern of recurrence/metastasis.Methods:The clinical data of 167 patients with PDAC who underwent pancreatectomy in Panjin Liao-Oil Gem Flower Hospital from January 2011 to June 2019 were retrospec-tively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox-regression analyses were applied to assess survival outcomes.Results:In this study,96 patients(57.5%)recurred within 12 months after surgery,and the median recurrence time was 10.9 months.Compared to patients without recurrence,patients with recurrence/metastasis had higher baseline CA19-9>100 IU/mL and were treated more often with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(P<0.05).In the no recurrence group,patients had histopathological analyses yielded lower less poorly differentiated tumors,less positive margin,less pT3+4 stages and pN1+2 stages(P<0.05).In a multivariate Cox regression analysis,receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,poor tumor differ-entiation and positive margin were independent predictors for recurrence/metastasis within 12 months after surgery(P<0.05).Neoadjuvant treated patients had less pT1+2 stages(P=0.015),a lower lymph node ratio,less perineural invasion,less positive margin,and were less likely to be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy compared to upfront surgery treated patients(P<0.05).Recurrence/metastasis rates were higher in the neoadjuvant treated cohort versus the upfront surgery cohort(P=0.014).There was no statistical difference in the recurrence/metastasis rate distribution between neoadjuvant therapy and upfront surgery,and neoadjuvant therapy exhibited no significant impact on recurrence/metastasis patterns in PDAC(P>0.05).The overall survival period of patients without recurrence/metastasis within 12 months was signifi-cantly longer than that of patients with recurrence/metastasis after PDAC resection(P<0.001).Conclusion:The varying site recurrence/metastasis rates and time to recurrence/metastasis,underline the inherent heterogeneity of PDAC and the specific interactions in the tumor microenvironments at the recurrence/metastasis sites.Further research is essential to establish optimal personalized treatment strategies for patients with recurrent PDAC.

Objective To propose an in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation method for novel iron-based biodegradable mateirals focusing on their degrading characteristics.Methods Half-finished scaffolds of nitrided iron tubes with a higher iron content of over 99％and a nitrogen content of 0.03％to 0.20％were selected as test samples,and based on the treatment mode were divided into an anaerobic treatment group,a non-anaerobic treatment group,a non-anaerobic treatment with removed iron particle group and a non-anaerobic treatment with plate-washing group.The anaerobic treatment group was processed in an anaerobic workstation;the conventional treatment group underwent standard handling in a biosafety cabinet;the conventional treatment with removed iron particle group was subjected to iron particle elimination using a Midimacs Starting Kit manual sorter after conventional treatment;and the conventional treatment with plate-washing group was rinsed with 0.9％sodium chloride injection before tetrazolium salt reagent treatment.Different extraction media(simulated body fluid,cell culture medium,phosphate buffer and 0.9％sodium chloride injection)were used for the immersion treatment of the test samples in each group to compare the effects of the degradation products on the survival rate of L929 cells.Results The anaerobic treatment group and the conventional treatment with removed iron particle group exhibited no detectable cytotoxicity.Trypan blue staining revealed significant cytotoxicity in the conventional treatment group,while false-negative results emerged due to interactions between the tetrazolium salt reagent and degradation products.In the non-anaerobic treatment with washing plate group,the false negative from iron particles was eliminated while potential cytotoxicity was showen,and the result accuracy was affected because some cells were washed out.Conclusion The proposed method can be used for the in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation,and facilitates the safety evaluation of the application of such materials.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(3):35-41]

Objective:To investigate the correlation between pathological features at the positive margins and biochemical re-currence after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.Methods:From June 2014 to December 2019,a total of 200 patients with organ-confined prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy were included in this study by the method of case matching(1:1).One hundred patients with positive surgical margin and 100 with negative surgical margin were enrolled in this study.All patients did not receive any adjuvant treatment after surgery with a clinical stage of T2/N0.BCR-free survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.An optimal cutoff for the PSM length which differentiated risk for BCR was identified by Classification and Regression Tree analysis(CART).Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the association between variables and BCR-free surviv-al.Results:A total of 200 patients were included in this study,and 177 patients with pT2 stage were pathological after operation.The median follow-up time of this group of patients was 32.8 months ranged from 5.6 to 80.5 months.A total of 28 cases of biochemi-cal recurrence were found through PSA follow-up after surgery,including 6 cases(6.0％)in the negative margin group and 22 cases(22.0％)in the positive margin group.The result of Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis showed that the non biochemical recurrence survival time of the negative margin group was longer than that of the positive margin group(log rank x2=9.336,P=0.003).It was found that the length of positive margin≥1 mm in the positive margin group was positively correlated with postoperative biochemical re-currence.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify that the highest Gleason score ≥8 and the length of pos-itive ≥ 1 mm were independent factors of postoperative biochemical recurrence in both the overall patients and the patients with positive margin.Conclusion:The patients with highest Gleason score ≥8 and the length of positive ≥1mm are at elevated risk for BCR.
