Introduction: To identify key technologies within non-bioartificial liver (NBAL, an extracorporeal support system that temporarily replaces some of the liver's functions) nursing to offer guidance for clinical practice. In the context of NBAL nursing, key technologies are crucial for successful implementation of artificial liver treatment, ensuring patient safety, and enhancing nursing quality. A review of both domestic and foreign literature revealed that studies on NBAL nursing technology are lacking and that the key technologies for NBAL nursing have not been clearly identified.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of cholesterol uptake genes in predicting the survival of breast cancer patients.
Background: Cholesterol plays a crucial role in the homeostasis of tumor cells. It is known that cholesterol levels can influence important parameters of the disease, such as sensitivity to therapy, progression, and metastasis of cancer.

Background: This study aimed to explore the association between the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and short- and long-term outcomes in critically ill patients with sepsis.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV v2.2) database.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the myocardial protective effect of Xuebijing (XBJ) injection in isolated donor heart preservation based on autophagy and NLRP3 inflammatory pathway, and to provide clues for improving the quality of donor heart preservation in the clinic.
Methods: Fourteen Guangxi Bama miniature pigs were randomly divided into two groups to establish the isolated heart perfusion model of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): (1) normal saline group (NS group): 50 mL normal saline was added to the perfusion solution; and (2) Xuebijing injection group (XBJ group): 10 mL of XBJ was added to the perfusate. Both groups were continuously pumped with 5 mL/h for 8 hours.

Background: The optimal target for partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) remains uncertain in patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Research Question: Are PaCO₂ levels associated with functional outcomes in patients receiving VA-ECMO after OHCA?
Study Design: and Methods: This multicenter, registry-based observational study, conducted from 2014 to 2020, included non-traumatic adult OHCA patients on VA-ECMO with PaCO₂ levels measured within six hours of initiation (initial PaCO₂ set) and at 18-30 hours post-initiation (24-hour PaCO₂ set). PaCO₂ levels were categorized into five groups: hypocapnia (<30 mmHg), low normocapnia (30-<40 mmHg), high normocapnia (40-<50 mmHg), mild hypercapnia (50-<60 mmHg), and moderate to severe hypercapnia (≥60 mmHg).
