Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually being applied in the field of decision-making support for the daily care of the older adults with disabilities. However, due to their limited cognitive functions, information asymmetry with medical staff and technical parties, and a certain degree of emotional deprivation, the older adults with disabilities are in a structurally vulnerable position. Against this background, several ethical dilemmas arise when AI technology intervenes in care decision-making. First, the informed consent process is difficult to genuinely implement. Second, algorithms based on average models tend to ignore individual differences, leading to “de-personalization” of services. Third, over-reliance on technology may further weaken humanistic care, thereby undermining the individual dignity of the older adults with disabilities. Fourth, in the care decision-making involving the joint participation of the older adults with disabilities, caregivers, medical teams, and AI systems, the boundaries of responsibility among all parties remain unclear, making it difficult to assign accountability when adverse outcomes occur. Drawing on the theories of vulnerability ethics, interactive ethics, and care ethics, this paper proposes a “vulnerability-interaction-care” path and put forward three-tiered countermeasures. The first was baseline safeguards, preventing the exploitation of the vulnerability of the older adults with disabilities and their caregivers, and requiring further safeguards for their dignity. The second was process protection, enhancing transparency and accountability within the human-machine collaboration framework, as well as establishing a multi-party consultation mechanism. The third was capacity empowerment, improving the subjectivity of the older adults with disabilities through age-appropriate interaction, structured expression of intentions, and caregiver participation.

Objective To analyze the types and distribution of microbiome in intestinal and lung tissues of children with asthma, and to explore the correlation between microbiota changes and asthma. Methods From 2021 to 2023, a total of 28,939 children with asthma who visited Ezhou Central Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Hospital or Ezhou Egang Hospital were selected as the study subjects, and 2,000 healthy children who underwent outpatient physical examinations at these three hospitals during the same period were selected as the control group. The distribution and characteristics of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome in the two groups were analyzed by 16SrDNA sequencing. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the correlation between microbiota distribution and asthma occurrence. Results In the intestinal tissues of children with asthma compared to healthy children, the abundance of Bacteroidetes at the phylum level decreased, while the abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Prevotalle and Clostridium at the genus level increased significantly. In lung tissues of asthmatic children compared to health children, the abundance of Firmicutes at the phylum level decreased while the abundance of Proteobacteria increased significantly (P<0.05), and the abundance of Neisseria, Prevotella and Actinomyces at the genus level increased significantly. Binary logistic regression results showed that the abundances of Lactobacillus (OR=0.842, 95% CI: 0.533-0.947), Bacteroides fragilis (OR=0.649, 95%CI: 0.377-0.890), Bifidobacterium (OR=0.901, 95% CI: 0.633-0.994), and Parabacteroides distasonis (OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.192-0.708) in the intestinal tissues were all protective factors for the asthma in children. In the lung tissue, the abundance of Neisseria (OR=2.140, 95% CI: 1.749-3.305) was a risk factor for the asthma in children, and Prevotella (OR=0.691, 95% CI: 0.491-0.926) was a protective factor for the asthma in children (P<0.05). Conclusion The dysbiosis of intestinal and pulmonary microbiome is closely related to the occurrence of asthma in children, and the detection of microbiota is of great significance for the diagnosis of childhood asthma.

Objective: To perform serological identification and molecular analysis of four samples with antibodies against high-frequency antigens, and to track the condition of newborns after delivery. Methods: Blood group serological tests were conducted using tube method, and unexpected antibody screening and identification were performed using polybrene and human globulin card. Gene haplotype analysis of blood group system was performed using PacBio third-generation sequencing. The DNA mutations were confirmed through Sanger sequencing. Results: Four samples showed normal blood types in common blood type systems. However, they were positive in all unexpected antibody screening and identification, with negative direct antiglobulin tests results. Third-generation sequencing revealed 3 cases of c.376C>T homozygous mutation and 1 case of c.421C>A homozygous mutation in the ABCG2 gene. Three pregnant women gave birth to four children, all of whom developed hyperbilirubinemia, accompanied by decreased red blood cell count and normal or low hemoglobin concentration. Conclusion: Four samples were obtained from individuals with the rare Jr(a-) blood group. Immunization during pregnancy led to the production of anti-Jr
antibody, which may contribute to hyperbilirubinemia in newborns.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2025;31(2):235-241
ObjectiveTo investigate the facilitators and barriers of home-based exercise rehabilitation for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MethodsFrom December, 2023 to March, 2024, 15 CKD patients receiving treatment at the Nephrology Department of Beijing Bo'ai Hospital and undergoing home-based rehabilitation were selected, as well as eight healthcare professionals from the same department. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were coded and analyzed using Nvivo 12.0. ResultsTwo main themes were identified. The facilitators included perceived benefits, good health literacy, potential benefits of online media, supervision by healthcare professionals and adequate social support. The barriers included severe negative emotions, adverse effects of complications, insufficient emphasis on exercise rehabilitation, lack of motivation for exercise, constraints related to time and location for exercise, and insufficient rehabilitation support. ConclusionThere are vavious and individual factors influencing home-based exercise rehabilitation for CKD patients, which need an individualized exercise rehabilitation guidance to improve the adherence to self-management.

[Objective] To explore the strategy of blood management in patients with massive transfusion in the frigid plateau region. [Methods] The treatment process of a patient with liver rupture in the frigid plateau region was analyzed, and the blood management strategy of the frigid plateau region was discussed in combination with the difficulties of blood transfusion and literature review. [Results] The preoperative complete blood count (CBC) test results of the patient were as follows: RBC 3.14×1012/L, Hb 106 g/L, HCT 30.40%, PLT 115.00×109/L; coagulation function: PT 18.9 s, FiB 1.31 g/L, DD > 6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL; ultrasound examination and imaging manifestations suggested liver contusion and laceration / intraparenchymal hematoma, splenic contusion and laceration, and massive blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity; it was estimated that the patient's blood loss was ≥ 2 000 mL, and massive blood transfusion was required during the operation; red blood cell components were timely transfused during the operation, and the blood component transfusion was guided according to the patient's CBC and coagulation function test results, providing strong support and guarantee for the successful treatment of the patient. The patient recovered well after the operation, and the CBC test results were as follows: RBC 4.32×1012/L, Hb 144 g/L, HCT 39.50%, PLT 329.00×109/L; coagulation function: APTT 29.3 s, PT 12.1 s, FiB 2.728 g/L, DD>6 μg/mL, FDP 25.86 μg/mL. The patient was discharged after 20 days, and regular follow-up reexamination showed no abnormal results. [Conclusion] Individualized blood management strategy should comprehensively consider the patient’s clinical symptoms, the degree of hemoglobin decline, dynamic coagulation test results and existing treatment conditions. Efficient and reasonable patient blood management strategies can effectively improve the clinical outcomes of massive transfusion patients in the frigid plateau region.
