Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a condition with high mortality, characterized by persistent (>48 hours) organ dysfunction. Fluid therapy serves as the cornerstone of acute-phase management in SAP, crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality. In recent years, significant research progress has been made in the treatment concepts, methods, and strategies of fluid management for SAP patients, contributing to improved patient outcomes. Based on an understanding of the pathophysiological characteristics of SAP, it is important to recognize the significance of individualized fluid management strategies and to reasonably select the appropriate types and treatment methods of fluids for resuscitation. To achieve precise volume management, the fluid therapy for SAP patients requires the comprehensive integration of monitoring parameters, including clinical signs, laboratory markers, and invasive hemodynamic indicators, enabling dynamic assessment to avoid fluid overload. This approach is essential for continuously enhancing the efficacy and safety of fluid therapy in SAP. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in fluid management for SAP. It covers the pathophysiological mechanisms of fluid loss, individualized fluid management strategies, the selection of resuscitation fluid types and timing, goal-directed therapy, and monitoring methods. It aims to elucidate how optimized fluid resuscitation strategies can enhance organ perfusion while mitigating the risks of fluid overload and related complications, thereby providing a theoretical framework for precise, and individualized SAP fluid management protocols.

The incidence of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in patients with sepsis is relatively high, which can lead to symmetrical atrophy of skeletal muscle, loss of strength and abnormal muscle regeneration and repair. In severe cases, it can cause diaphragmatic involvement, seriously affecting respiratory function and thus the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients. The pathogenesis of ICU-AW in patients with sepsis is complex, mainly involving dysregulation of inflammatory response, neuromuscular conduction disorder, abnormal muscle protein production and decomposition, and reduction of muscle satellite cell (MuSC). There are multiple risk factors, including the patient's own condition, sepsis-induced inflammatory response and multiple organ failure, mechanical ventilation, sedation and analgesia, glucocorticoids, antibacterial drugs, etc. Diagnosis mainly relies on subjective and objective assessment of skeletal muscle and diaphragm, including manual muscle strengthen testing (MMT), handgrip dynamometry (HGD), physical function ICU test (PFIT), muscle electrophysiological examination, muscle ultrasound examination, etc. The treatment usually involves a comprehensive approach including controlling sepsis, early rehabilitation activities, bundle management, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, nutritional support, etc. Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine has also shown efficacy. This article reviews the research progress on ICU-AW in patients with sepsis in terms of pathogenesis, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, aiming to emphasize the value and limitations of ICU-AW in the early clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To explore the diagnostic model of sepsis based on Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The clinical data of septic patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with MIMIC-IV database, including demographic characteristics, disease severity scores [Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), Logistic Organ Failure Score (LODS), Oxford Acute Disease Severity Score (OASIS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)], vital signs and laboratory indicators (blood routine, serum electrolytes, blood gas analysis, blood glucose, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, blood culture results) at ICU admission, underlying disease, site of infection and whether shock was combined were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome indicator was 28-day death. The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to 28-day prognosis. The differences in various indicators between the two groups were compared, and the indicators with differences between the two groups were incorporated into the classification tree model to screen out the top 5 indexes of importance for predicting the 28-day death in septic patients, which were enrolled in the diagnostic model of sepsis. Receiver Operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to screened out the scoring system with the greatest predictive value for 28-day death in septic patients from four disease severity scores, which was enrolled in the diagnosis model of sepsis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 12 743 patients were enrolled in the study finally, including 7 411 males (58.157%) and 5 332 females (41.843%), aged from 18 to 100 years old, age (65.38±16.16) years.

The cells were divided into four groups: blank control group without OGD treatment, 37 centigrade room temperature culture. The OGD group was subjected to OGD for 12 hours without restoration of glucose and oxygen. The OGD/R with normal temperature groups were subjected to OGD for 12 hours followed by reoxygenation for 4, 8, and 12 hours at 37 centigrade, respectively.

In the OGD/R groups, compared with normothermia, the survival rate of cardiomyocytes in hypothermia was increased at each time point [4 hours: (65.46±0.81)% vs. (60.26±0.71)%, 8 hours: (72.76±0.23)% vs. (62.93±0.37)%, 12 hours: (77.72±0.43)% vs. (70.75±0.61)%, all P<0.05], the decreased-Δ ψm lowed at 12 hours (green/red fluorescence intensity ratio of JC-1: 0.120±0.005 vs. 0.250±0.011, P<0.05), cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio decreased at 8 hours and 12 hours (8 hours: 0.96±0.06 vs. 1.08±0.07, 12 hours: 0.91±0.06 vs. 1.23±0.08, both P<0.05), the LC3B-II/I ratio was increased at 8 hours and 12 hours (8 hours: 1.40±0.08 vs. 1.16±0.08, 12 hours: 1.51±0.11 vs. 1.12±0.07, both P<0.05), the p62 expression was increased at 12 hours (p62/GAPDH","PeriodicalId":24079,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua wei zhong bing ji jiu yi xue","volume":"38 1","pages":"56-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147464000","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}

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To apply latent class analysis (LCA) to explore the latent classes of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in mechanically ventilated patients and to analyze their influencing factors.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A prospective observational study was conducted. From June 2024 to April 2025, 360 mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Kunming were enrolled. Consciousness was assessed using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). Muscle strength of six muscle groups (shoulder abductors, elbow flexors, wrist extensors, hip flexors, knee extensors, and ankle dorsiflexors) was evaluated using the Medical Research Council (MRC) score across, with a total score<48 indicating ICU-AW. Clinical data were collected via a self-designed ICU-AW risk factor scale, covering 21 items: demographic characteristics (gender, age), clinical interventions (total length of ICU stay, norepinephrine use or not, mechanical ventilation duration, immobilization time, neuromuscular blocker use duration, sedative/analgesic use or not, pre-ICU mechanical ventilation duration, invasive blood pressure monitoring or not, aminoglycoside use or not), underlying diseases and complications [combined with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) or not, combined with sepsis or not, diabetes or not, hypertension or not, Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score], and laboratory indicators (blood oxygen saturation, calcium, albumin, lactic acid, glucose). LCA was used to optimize the number of classes. The optimal model was selected based on the minimization of Akaike information criterion (AIC), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and adjusted Bayesian information criterion (aBIC), an entropy value > 0.8, and significant results from the Lo-Mendell-Rubin test and the Bootstrap likelihood ratio test. Patients were classified and named based on LCA results.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate the value of the Phoenix Sepsis Score (PSS), pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) and PEdiatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) in assessing disease severity and prognosis in children with sepsis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective observational study was conducted. A total of 226 pediatric patients with sepsis admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from June 2021 to April 2024 were enrolled. The gender, age, body mass index (BMI), site of infection, mechanical ventilation requirement, length of PICU stay, and clinical outcome were extracted, together with the physiological variables required by PSS, pSOFA and PELOD-2 scoring systems. The three critical scores were calculated with the worst values of physiological indicators obtained within 24 hours after PICU admission. According to the 2024 international consensus, children were classified as sepsis (without shock) or septic shock depending on the presence of cardiovascular dysfunction. They were further divided into survivors and non-survivors based on the outcome during PICU hospitalization. Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to assess the ability of the three scoring systems to predict death risk during PICU hospitalization in sepsis without shock and in septic shock, as well as progression from sepsis without shock to septic shock. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to examine the clinical utility of the three scoring systems for predicting death risk during PICU hospitalization in children with sepsis without shock and in those with septic shock, as well as progression from sepsis without shock to septic shock.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 226 pediatric patients with sepsis were ultimately included; 188 (83.2%) survived during PICU hospitalization and 38 (16.8%) died. No significant differences were observed between survivors and non-survivors in gender, age, BMI, site of infection, or length of PICU stay. Non-survivors exhibited higher rates of septic shock and mechanical ventilation, together with higher PSS, pSOFA and PELOD-2 scores, than survivors [septic shock: 84.2% (32/38) vs. 23.4% (44/188), mechanical ventilation: 97.4% (37/38) vs. 24.5% (46/188), PSS score: 7.0 (5.0, 8.3) vs. 3.0 (2.0, 3.0), pSOFA score: 8 (5, 12) vs. 3 (2, 5), PELOD-2 score: 6 (5, 9) vs. 2 (0, 4), all P<0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of PSS, pSOFA, and PELOD-2 scores for predicting death risk during PICU hospitalization in the pediatric patients with sepsis without shock was 0.924 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.831-1.000], 0.666 (95%CI was 0.438-0.894), and 0.915 (95%CI was 0.818-1.000), respectively.
