Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Septic shock is the primary cause of mortality in sepsis, with its core pathophysiological mechanism being severe ischemia and hypoxia in critical units—composed of microcirculation and the mitochondria of functional cells—resulting from disruptions in blood flow and oxygen flow following a dysregulated host response. Due to the systemically convergent yet clinically heterogeneous nature of the host response, current understanding and management strategies for hemodynamics remain inconsistent, often leading to inadequate resuscitation or overtreatment. To improve the quality of care, based on a systematic review of the "blood flow-oxygen flow" theory, an expert panel emphasizes reevaluating septic shock from an integrated perspective of blood flow and oxygen flow, and has formulated the Expert Consensus on Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery Phenotyping and Clinical Management of Septic Shock (2025). The consensus proposes that clinical typing of blood flow-oxygen flow should comprehensively consider cardiac function, vascular tone, oxygen flow utilization status in critical units, and disease trajectory, while optimizing subtype identification by integrating host response phenotypes and artificial intelligence technologies. It advocates establishing a continuous assessment system through multi-site oxygen flow monitoring for organ perfusion, peripheral perfusion monitoring, and critical care ultrasound. Under the framework of the "critical care triangle", the consensus promotes the implementation of individualized, bundled management strategies, providing guidance for multiple management points to restore blood flow-oxygen flow matching, reduce the risk of organ failure, and decrease patient mortality.

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.

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 potential risk factors for cancer in patients with adenomatous polyps based on tumor markers and polyp lesion characteristics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to collect clinical data of 115 patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps who visited Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from November 2022 to November 2024. They were divided into a cancerous group (17 cases) and a non cancerous group (98 cases) based on whether they were cancerous or not. Clinical data such as tissue type and polyp site and tumor marker levels such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) were collected at the first visit of all patients. The potential risk factors of adenomatous intestinal polyp canceration were investigated by Logistic regression analysis.Results:Univariate analysis revealed that the proportion of villous tubular adenomas, central depression of polyps, and lobulated polyps in the cancerous group were higher than those in the non cancerous group. Serum levels of CEA and CA72-4 were also higher in the cancerous group than in the non cancerous group : 13/17 vs.47.96% (47/98), 7/17 vs. 15.31% (15/98), 6/17 vs. 8.16% (8/98), (6.41 ± 1.81) μg/L vs. (4.23 ± 1.48) μg/L, (6.98 ± 1.83) kU/L vs. (5.66 ± 1.78) kU/L, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that the histological subtype of villous tubular adenoma, central depression of polyps, lobulated polyps, and high levels of CEA and CA72-4 were independent risk factors for cancer in patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps ( P<0.05). A nomogram risk model was constructed based on the influencing factors of canceration in patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps. The calibration curve was drawn, and the calibration curve was similar to the Y-X straight line, suggesting that the evaluation results of the nomogram risk model were highly consistent with the actual observation results. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn. The results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram risk model for evaluating the canceration of patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps was 0.956, and the evaluation value was high. The decision curve was drawn, with the threshold of high risk as the horizontal coordinate and the net rate of return as the vertical coordinate. The results showed that when the threshold was in the range of 0 - 0.85, 0.96 - 0.99, the net benefit rate of predicting the cancer risk of patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps was greater than 0 and the maximum net benefit rate was 0.148. Conclusions:The histological classification of villous tubular adenoma, central depression of polyps, lobulated polyps, and high levels of CEA and CA72-4 are independent risk factors for cancer in patients with adenomatous intestinal polyps; The evaluation efficiency of the column chart risk model constructed based on the above factors is good.

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.

Thrombocytopenia 2 (THC2) is an autosomal dominant hematologic disorder caused by germline mutations in the ANKRD26 gene, characterized primarily by persistent thrombocytopenia and a predisposition to myeloid neoplasms. Owing to nonspecific clinical presentation and limited disease awareness, THC2 is frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, potentially leading to inappropriate interventions. This article systematically outlines the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and strategies for the precise diagnosis and treatment of THC2, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for its clinical management and for the in-depth investigation of its pathogenesis.

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.
