ObjectiveTo develop a systematic case management model based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Vocational Rehabilitation Core Set (VR-CS) and explore its application pathways and efficacy in vocational rehabilitation. The 13 core categories of VR-CS are applied in vocational rehabilitation case management practices, utilizing comprehensive functional assessments to design and implement structured and individualized case management plans. This, in turn, seeks to enhance individuals' vocational independence, social participation and overall quality of life. MethodsThis study adopted a combined approach of theoretical research and empirical case analysis. Based on the 13 core categories of VR-CS, a comprehensive vocational assessment was conducted across three dimensions: body function and structure, activities and participation, and environmental factors. The study theoretically analyzed how to develop and implement holistic and individualized vocational rehabilitation plans, along with dynamic monitoring processes. Three types of typical vocational rehabilitation cases were examined, including individuals with major depressive disorder, high-functioning autism and mild cognitive impairment, to illustrate the evidence and effectiveness of VR-CS-based case management. ResultsThe VR-CS-based case management method, grounded in the ICF bio-psycho-social model, constructed an integrated and individualized case management system. This system combined the assessment and analysis of vocational rehabilitation needs, goal setting and planning, multidisciplinary team intervention, individualized interventions, process monitoring and dynamic adjustments, return-to-work activities, and long-term follow-up services.The case management model developed through VR-CS demonstrated significant and systematic efficacy in promoting vocational independence and social participation. This study provided a detailed analysis of the primary methods and steps involved in designing and implementing case management and elaborates on the practical applications of this model from the three representative cases. At the body function and structure level, case management included the evaluation of energy and drive functions (b130), high-level cognitive training (b164), and the enhancement of exercise tolerance (b455). Case management focused on accurately setting short- and long-term goals around functional limitations and needs. Dynamic monitoring during interventions ensured timely adjustments to intervention measures. This process improved physical endurance and cognitive function, enhanced sustained work capacity in complex vocational environments. At the activities and participation level, the focus was on skill acquisition (d155), stress management and psychological adjustment (d240), and the cultivation of complex interpersonal communication abilities (d720). Individuals engaged in regular professional skills training, role-playing and simulated work scenarios to progressively enhance vocational adaptability and social interaction skills. Through this process, individuals acquired practical skills, gradually boosting self-efficacy and vocational confidence, thereby facilitating the reshaping of their social roles. At the environmental and personal factors level, case management pathways involved active participation from immediate family (e310), positive shifts in societal attitudes (e460), and the effective utilization of health and employment policy resources (e580, e590). By integrating social and community resources comprehensively, the program created a more inclusive and supportive rehabilitation environment. By designing and implementing systematic case management programs, individuals showed significant improvements in psychological well-being, vocational adaptability and social interaction skills. The majority of cases achieved stable employment or continued participation in social activities following the intervention. ConclusionVR-CS provides a systematic, multidimensional and person-centered case management framework. This framework applies the bio-psycho-social model, analyzing individuals' primary functional impairments and vocational rehabilitation needs from the perspectives of body functions, psychological states and environmental factors. On this basis, a comprehensive, targeted and holistic case management plan is developed and implemented. The VR-CS-based case management approach not only enhances vocational capabilities but also improves overall quality of life and social adaptability.

Objective To clone and express the heat shock cognate protein 20 (SjHsc20) of Schistosoma japonicum, and to preliminarily investigate its biological characteristics. Methods The target fragment of the SjHsc20 gene was amplified using PCR assay and cloned into the pET-28a(+) expression plasmid to generate the recombinant expression vector pET-28a(+)-SjH-sc20, which was then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells. The recombinant SjHsc20 (rSjHsc20) protein was induced with isopropyl β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and purified, and the expression of the rSjHsc20 protein was checked with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The immunogenicity of the rSjHsc20 protein was detected using Western blotting, and the transcriptional levels of SjHsc20 were quantified in S. japonicum worms at different developmental stages and in male and female adult worms using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay. Thirty female BALB/c mice at ages 6 to 8 weeks were divided into three groups, including the rSjHsc20 immunization group, the PBS control group, and the ISA 206 adjuvant group, of 10 mice in each group. Mice in the rSjHsc20 immunization group were subcutaneously immunized with 20 μg rSjHsc20 on days 1, 15 and 31, and animals in the PBS control group were subcutaneously injected with the same volume of PBS on days 1, 15 and 31, while mice in the ISA 206 adjuvant group were subcutaneously immunized with the same volume of ISA 206 adjuvant on days 1, 15 and 31, respectively. All mice in each group were infected with (40 ± 2) S. japonicum cercariae via the abdomen 14 day following the last immunization. Levels of serum specific IgG and its subtypes IgG1 and IgG2 antibodies against rSjHsc20, and the serum titers of anti-rSjHsc20 antibody were detected in mice using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All mice were sacrifice 42 days post-infection, and S. japonicum worms were collected from the hepatic portal vein and counted. The eggs per gram (EPG), worm burden reductions and egg burden reductions were estimated to evaluate the protective efficacy of the rSjHsc20 protein. Results The SjHsc20 gene had an open reading frame (ORF) with 756 bp in length and encoded 252 amino acids, and the rSjHsc20 protein had a relative molecular mass of approximately 29 kDa. The rSjHsc20 protein was recognized by the serum of mice infected with S. japonicum and the serum of mice immunized with the rSjHsc20 protein, indicating that rSjHsc20 had a good immunogenicity. There was a significant difference in the transcriptional levels of the SjHsc20 gene among the 7-day (1.001 4 ± 0.065 7), 12-day (2.268 3 ± 0.129 2), 21-day (1.378 5 ± 0.160 4), 28-day (1.196 4 ± 0.244 0), 35-day (1.646 3 ± 0.226 1), 42-day worms of S. japonicum (1.758 0 ± 0.611 1) (F = 38.45, P < 0.000 1), and the transcriptional level of the SjHsc20 gene was higher in the 12-day worms than in worms at other developmental stages (all P values < 0.000 1). The serum levels of anti-rSjHsc20 IgG antibody were 0.106 6 ± 0.010 7, 0.108 3 ± 0.010 4, and 0.553 2 ± 0.069 1 in the PBS control group, ISA 206 adjuvant group, and rSjHsc20 immunization group following the last immunization, respectively, and the serum levels of IgG1 antibody were 0.137 3 ± 0.054 0, 0.181 1 ± 0.096 8, and 1.765 8 ± 0.221 1, while the levels of IgG2a antibody were 0.280 3 ± 0.197 6, 0.274 0 ± 0.146 3, and 1.560 4 ± 0.106 0, respectively. There were significant differences in the serum levels of anti-rSjHsc20 IgG (F = 397.70, P < 0.000 1), IgG1 (F = 401.00, P < 0.000 1) and IgG2a antibodies (F = 229.70, P < 0.000 1) among the three groups, and the serum levels of anti-rSjHsc20 IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies were higher in the rSjHsc20 immunization group than in the PBS control group and the ISA 206 adjuvant group (all P values < 0.000 1). There was a significant difference in the IgG1/IgG2a ratio among the rSjHsc20 immunization group (1.177 2 ± 0.143 6), the PBS control group (0.428 4 ± 0.199 8) and the ISA 206 adjuvant group (0.559 9 ± 0.181 1) (F = 43.97, P < 0.000 1), and the IgG1/IgG2a ratio was > 1 in the rSjHsc20 immunization group, which was higher than in the PBS control group and the ISA 206 adjuvant group (both P values < 0.000 1). The titers of serum anti-rSjHsc20 antibody were all above 1∶16 384 in the rSjHsc20 immunization group following immunizations on days 1, 15 and 31, indicating that the rSjHsc20 protein had a strong immunogenicity. The mean worm burdens were (16.60±5.75), (15.80±5.58) worms per mouse and (14.40±5.75) worms per mouse in the PBS control group, the ISA 206 adjuvant group and the rSjHsc20 immunization group 42 days post-infection with S. japonicum cercariae (F = 0.50, P > 0.05), and the EPG were 68 370 ± 22 690, 67 972 ± 19 502, and 41 075 ± 13 251 in the PBS control group, the ISA 206 adjuvant group and the rSjHsc20 immunization group (F = 4.55, P < 0.05), with lower EPG in the PBS control group and the ISA 206 adjuvant group than in the rSjHsc20 immunization group (both P values < 0.05). Immunization with the rSjHsc20 protein resulted in a worm burden reduction of 13.25% and an egg burden reduction of 39.92% relative to the PBS control group. Conclusions SjHsc20 is successfully cloned and expressed, and the rSjHsc20 protein induces partial immunoprotective effects in mice, which provides a basis for deciphering the biological functions of SjHsc20 and assessing the potential of SjH-sc20 as a vaccine candidate.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and metabolic disorders are the 3 major chronic diseases threatening human health, which are closely related and often coexist, significantly increasing the difficulty of disease management. In response, the American Heart Association (AHA) proposed a novel disease concept of “cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome” in October 2023, which has triggered widespread concern about the co-treatment of heart and kidney diseases and the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders around the world. This review posits that effectively managing CKM syndrome requires a new and multidimensional paradigm for diagnosis and risk prediction that integrates biological insights, advanced technology and social determinants of health (SDoH). We argue that the core pathological driver is a “metabolic toxic environment”, fueled by adipose tissue dysfunction and characterized by a vicious cycle of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which forms a common pathway to multi-organ injury. The at-risk population is defined not only by biological characteristics but also significantly impacted by adverse SDoH, which can elevate the risk of advanced CKM by a factor of 1.18 to 3.50, underscoring the critical need for equity in screening and care strategies. This review systematically charts the progression of diagnostic technologies. In diagnostics, we highlight a crucial shift from single-marker assessments to comprehensive multi-marker panels. The synergistic application of traditional biomarkers like NT-proBNP (reflecting cardiac stress) and UACR (indicating kidney damage) with emerging indicators such as systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and Klotho protein facilitates a holistic evaluation of multi-organ health. Furthermore, this paper explores the pivotal role of non-invasive monitoring technologies in detecting subclinical disease. Techniques like multi-wavelength photoplethysmography (PPG) and impedance cardiography (ICG) provide a real-time window into microcirculatory and hemodynamic status, enabling the identification of early, often asymptomatic, functional abnormalities that precede overt organ failure. In imaging, progress is marked by a move towards precise, quantitative evaluation, exemplified by artificial intelligence-powered quantitative computed tomography (AI-QCT). By integrating AI-QCT with clinical risk factors, the predictive accuracy for cardiovascular events within 6 months significantly improves, with the area under the curve (AUC) increasing from 0.637 to 0.688, demonstrating its potential for reclassifying risk in CKM stage 3. In the domain of risk prediction, we trace the evolution from traditional statistical tools to next-generation models. The new PREVENT equation represents a major advancement by incorporating key kidney function markers (eGFR, UACR), which can enhance the detection rate of CKD in primary care by 20%-30%. However, we contend that the future lies in dynamic, machine learning-based models. Algorithms such as XGBoost have achieved an AUC of 0.82 for predicting 365-day cardiovascular events, while deep learning models like KFDeep have demonstrated exceptional performance in predicting kidney failure risk with an AUC of 0.946. Unlike static calculators, these AI-driven tools can process complex, multimodal data and continuously update risk profiles, paving the way for truly personalized and proactive medicine. In conclusion, this review advocates for a paradigm shift toward a holistic and technologically advanced framework for CKM management. Future efforts must focus on the deep integration of multimodal data, the development of novel AI-driven biomarkers, the implementation of refined SDoH-informed interventions, and the promotion of interdisciplinary collaboration to construct an efficient, equitable, and effective system for CKM screening and intervention.

Objective To explore the value of serum D-dimer(D-D),fibrinogen(FIB),platelet(PLT),C-reactive pro-tein(CRP)and tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI)-1 levels in predicting lower extremity deep vein thrombosis(DVT)after hip joint surgery in the elderly.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 165 elderly patients with hip joint surgery admitted from February 2020 to May 2022,including 89 males and 76 females,aged from 60 to 75 years old with an average of(66.43±5.48)years,and there were 102 cases of femoral neck fracture and 63 cases of femoral head necrosis.Serum levels of D-D,FIB,PLT,CRP and PAI-1 tests were performed in all patients within 24 hours after admission,and the patients were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to whether they developed DVT.Results The levels of D-D,FIB,PLT,CRP,and PAI-1 in the DVT group were higher than those in the non-DVT group(P＜0.001).Spearman analysis showed that DVT was positively correlated with PLT,CRP,D-D,FIB,and PAI-1 levels(r=0.382,0.213,0.410,0.310,0.353,all P＜0.001).The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that D-D and PLT were independent factors affecting the occurrence of DVT(OR=0.038,0.960,P=0.032,0.011).The area under curve(AUC)of D-D,FIB,PLT,CRP,PAI-1,and the five combined predictions for DVT were 0.843,0.692,0.871,0.780,0.819,and 0.960,respectively.The AUC of the five combined predictions was higher than that of the single prediction(P＜0.05).Conclusion D-D,FIB,PLT,CRP and PAI-1 are effective in predicting DVT after hip surgery in the elderly,and the combined prediction of the five factors has higher effi-cacy.

Objective To investigate the value of optical coherence tomography(OCT)in predicting the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in patients of acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods Four hundred and forth-eight ACS patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)and OCT from February 2015 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects.We found 749 non-culprit coronary lesions.And follow up the patients,median follow-up was 5 years[interquartile interval(IQR):3-7 years].Kaplan-meier was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of MACE,multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the risk of MACE with OCT parameters non-culprit coronary lesions,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of OCT parameters for MACE in non-culprit coronary lesions.Results A total of 749 non-culprit coronary lesions were detected,and 41 MACE cases were caused by non-culprit coronary lesions imaged by OCT.Compared with plaques without thin-cap fibroatheroma(TCFA)and minimal lumen area(MLA)＜3.5 mm2,the incidence of MACE was significantly associated with vulnerable plaques with TCFA and MLA＜3.5 mm2(33％vs.3％,HR 13.62,95％CI 6.71-27.65,P＜0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that larger maximum lipid arc(HR 1.02,95％CI 1.01-1.03,P＜0.001),smaller maximum lipid cap thickness(HR 0.97,95％CI 0.96-0.99,P＜0.001)and MLA(HR 0.31,95％CI 0.18-0.55,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for MACE.The area under ROC curve(AUC)of the thinnest fiber cap thickness for predicting MACE occurrence was 0.858(95％CI 0.802-0.913),and the optimal cutoff value was 66.5 μm.The AUC of maximum lipid arc for predicting MACE occurrence was 0.853(95％CI 0.786-0.920),and the optimal cut-off value was 180.35°.The AUC of MLA for predicting MACE was 0.821(95％CI 0.766-0.876),and the optimal cutoff was 3.575 mm2.Conclusions The non-culprit coronary lesions with TCFA and MLA＜3.5 mm2 were significantly associated with an increased risk of subsequent MACE development at the lesion level,and OCT imaging helps early identification of the risk of MACE development in non-culprit coronary lesions in patients of ACS.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of the common pathogens isolated from urine from 2015 to 2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods The bacterial strains were isolated from urine and identified routinely in 51 hospitals across China in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Kirby-Bauer method,automatic microbiological analysis system and E-test according to the unified protocol.Results A total of 261 893 nonduplicate strains were isolated from urine specimen from 2015 to 2021,of which gram-positive bacteria accounted for 23.8％(62 219/261 893),and gram-negative bacteria 76.2％(199 674/261 893).The most common species were E.coli(46.7％),E.faecium(10.4％),K.pneumoniae(9.8％),E.faecalis(8.7％),P.mirabilis(3.5％),P.aeruginosa(3.4％),SS.agalactiae(2.6％),and E.cloacae(2.1％).The strains were more frequently isolated from inpatients versus outpatients and emergency patients,from females versus males,and from adults versus children.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae and P.mirabilis was 53.2％,52.8％and 37.0％,respectively.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii was 1.7％,18.5％,16.4％,and 40.3％,respectively.Lower than 10％of the E.faecalis isolates were resistant to ampicillin,nitrofurantoin,linezolid,vancomycin,teicoplanin and fosfomycin.More than 90％of the E.faecium isolates were ressitant to ampicillin,levofloxacin and erythromycin.The percentage of strains resistant to vancomycin,linezolid or teicoplanin was＜2％.The E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains isolated from ICU inpatients showed significantly higher resistance rates than the corresponding strains isolated from outpatients and non-ICU inpatients.Conclusions E.coli,Enterococcus and K.pneumoniae are the most common pathogens in urinary tract infection.The bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance of urinary isolates vary with different populations.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and reduce the irrational use of antimicrobial agents.

Objective To understand the distribution and changing resistance profiles of clinical isolates of Enterococcus in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for the clinical isolates of Enterococcus according to the unified protocol of CHINET program by automated systems,Kirby-Bauer method,or E-test strip.The results were interpreted according to the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints in 2021.WHONET 5.6 software was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 124 565 strains of Enterococcus were isolated during the 7-year period,mainly including Enterococcus faecalis(50.7％)and Enterococcus faecalis(41.5％).The strains were mainly isolated from urinary tract specimens(46.9％±2.6％),and primarily from the patients in the department of internal medicine,surgery and ICU.E.faecium and E.faecalis strains showed low level resistance rate to vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid(≤3.6％).The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant E.faecalis and E.faecium was 0.1％and 1.3％,respectively.The prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecalis increased from 0.7％in 2015 to 3.4％in 2021,while the prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecium was 0.3％.Conclusions The clinical isolates of Enterococcus were still highly susceptible to vancomycin,teicoplanin,and linezolid,evidenced by a low resistance rate.However,the prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecalis was increasing during the 7-year period.It is necessary to strengthen antimicrobial resistance surveillance to effectively identify the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and curb the spread of resistant pathogens.
