Patients with severe gastrointestinal function injury admitted to the ICU from February 2021 to January 2024 were enrolled [age > 18 years old, acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) grade 2 to 3, stable hemodynamics]. Patients with different AGI grades were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the TEAS group and the control group using simple randomization. Both groups received conventional treatment and enteral nutrition (EN). In addition, the TEAS group underwent TEAS at the Neiguan and Zusanli points for 30 minutes per session, twice daily for 7 days. Baseline data, including age, gender, underlying diseases, and primary diagnoses, were recorded. Three intestinal biomarkers, such as I-FABP, D-lactic acid, and citrulline were measured before and after 7 days of treatment. EN tolerance indicators and 28 days survival status were documented.

Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. A comparison of the dynamic changes in intestinal biomarkers revealed that the I-FABP level in both groups decreased after treatment compared to pre-treatment, with a more pronounced reduction in the TEAS group. The least square mean difference (LS Mean difference) for the corrected I-FABP level between the two groups during the observation period was -0.23 μg/L [95% confidence interval (95%CI) was -0.45 to -0.01], which was statistically significant (P = 0.041). Additionally, a significant interaction with AGI was observed (P = 0.004). Post-treatment, D-lactic acid level decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment, with a more significant reduction in the TEAS group. The LS Mean difference for the corrected D-lactic acid level was -0.08 mmol/L (95%CI was -0.11 to -0.05), which was statistically significant (P < 0.001), and the interaction with AGI was also significant (P = 0.005). There was no significant change in citrulline levels between the two groups before and after treatment. The LS Mean difference for the corrected citrulline level was -0.17 μmol/L (95%CI was -1.87 to 1.53), which was not statistically significant (P = 0.845), and no significant interaction with AGI was observed (P = 0.913).

Airway clearance techniques are recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients. Among these, vibratory expectoration is an important method of airway clearance, which loosens and liquefies mucus and metabolites on the surface of the respiratory tract through chest wall oscillation, promoting ciliary movement to facilitate sputum expulsion. However, commonly used handheld vibrating head devices and vest-type vibration expectorators have several limitations in clinical practice, such as inconvenience of operation, limited treatment time, poor adaptability, and difficulty in disinfection. To address these issues, the research team from the department of critical care medicine at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has designed a novel belt-type vibration expectorator, which has been granted a national utility model patent (Patent No.: ZL 2023 2 1610983.1). The device is mainly composed of a chest strap assembly, a sputum clearance component, and a fixed shoulder strap component. Several pockets are placed on the outer surface of the chest strap, with corresponding inner-side openings that allow the percussion head of the percussive expectorator placed inside the pocket to make contact with the patient's chest wall. Each pocket has markings indicating the percussion position, enabling the placement of the percussive expectorator according to the location of infection, thereby achieving multi-point, precise percussive vibration expectoration in different body positions. On the inner side of the chest strap, there are diagrams illustrating postural drainage, providing guidance on the body positions patients should assume based on the location of infection. The hook-and-loop fasteners on both sides of the chest strap can be wrapped around and secured according to the patient's body shape, ensuring that the sputum clearance components adhere tightly to the chest wall, allowing the vibrations generated by percussion to be effectively transmitted to the patient's airways. Additionally, to prevent the chest strap from slipping due to changes in the patient's position, a Y-shaped fixing strap can be selectively attached to the chest strap for further stabilization. This innovation not only simplifies the operation process, improves convenience and flexibility of use, but also supports the principle of \"disinfection after each use by one person,\" which helps to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections and improve the efficiency of patients' respiratory rehabilitation.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"37 5","pages":"490-493"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article, based on the evolution of domestic and international guidelines and consensus, explores the current confusions and shortcomings in the emergency treatment of asthma, considering the clinical specifics of emergency medicine. Due to the limited applicability of classifications such as \"refractory asthma\" and \"severe asthma\" in emergency settings, as well as the complex diagnostic process that makes clinical operations difficult, it is proposed to unify the diagnostic terminology as \"acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma\" (mild, moderate, severe, critical severe) in emergency work. Assessment indicators, such as arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂), partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO₂), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂), peak expiratory flow (PEF). Simplified were simplified. The clinical diagnosis and emergency management should prioritize the approach outlined in the Chinese guidelines for the prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma (basic version). For mild-to-moderate and severe exacerbations, a tiered treatment strategy is recommended, focusing on rapid symptom relief, standardized glucocorticoid use, and dynamic efficacy assessment. Additionally, the urgent need for formulating a Chinese expert consensus on emergency diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma is highlighted, along with promoting multicenter prospective studies to optimize emergency protocols and improve patient prognosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"37 5","pages":"413-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It results from direct/indirect lung-related or systemic triggers, leading to widespread injury of lung epithelial and endothelial cells. Its pathogenesis involves uncontrolled inflammation and breakdown of the lung's blood-air barrier due to leaky blood vessels and epithelial damage. Current management of ALI/ARDS remains primarily supportive, offering symptomatic relief but limited improvement in prognosis, necessitating deeper exploration of upstream pathogenic mechanisms to identify safer and more effective therapies. Exosomal microRNAs (miRNA), small extracellular vesicles (40-150 nm) containing non-coding single-stranded RNAs, regulate post-transcriptional cellular processes and participate in ALI/ARDS pathophysiology. Studies reveal that exosomes transport proteins, nucleic acids, and miRNAs to recipient cells, mediating intercellular communication. In ALI/ARDS models, exosomal miRNAs delivered to alveolar epithelial cells, endothelial cells, macrophages, and neutrophils critically modulate autophagy, pyroptosis, apoptosis, proliferation, inflammatory signaling, macrophage polarization, and neutrophil activation, either exacerbating or alleviating disease progression. Recent advances in engineering techniques have enhanced the therapeutic potential of exosomal miRNAs by overcoming limitations of natural exosomes. This review focuses on exosomal miRNA-mediated regulation of ALI/ARDS pathogenesis across key cell types, providing insights for novel therapeutic strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"37 5","pages":"494-498"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An external validation cohort of 435 acute stroke patients admitted to the Fifth Hospital of Xiamen during the same period was used to validate the machine learning algorithms and nomogram model. Patients were classified into control and epilepsy groups based on the development of PSE within one year. Clinical and laboratory data, including baseline characteristics, stroke location, vascular status, complications, hematologic parameters, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, were collected for analysis. Nine machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, CN2 rule induction, K-nearest neighbors, adaptive boosting, random forest, gradient boosting, support vector machine, naive Bayes, and neural network were applied to evaluate predictive performance. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to identify the optimal algorithm.
