Objective To investigate the relationship between frailty and readmission during vulnerable periods in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods Using convenience sampling method,290 elderly patients with chronic heart failure admitted to Department of Cardiovascular,the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from December 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the research subjects.They were followed up for three months and surveyed using general information questionnaire,frailty scale,and Barthel index.Results Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between readmission during the vulnerable period and frailty(r=0.266,P<0.05).The readmission rate during the vulnerable period was 28.6%,and the results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that frailty(OR=2.561,95%CI:1.409-4.654),age(OR=1.113,95%CI:1.067-1.161),and renal dysfunction(OR=2.903,95%CI:1.559-5.406)were independent risk factors for unplanned readmission during the vulnerable period in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Conclusion There is a positive correlation between frailty and readmission during the vulnerable period in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Frailty,age,and renal dysfunction are independent risk factors for decompensated admission events in vulnerable elderly patients with chronic heart failure.

Objective To quantitatively measure the density of hydroxyapatite(HAP)(water)within lumbar vertebral bodies using the gemstone spectral imaging(GSI)material decomposition technique and to compare and analyze the clinical significance of density variations of HAP(water)in different regions of L1-L3 vertebral bodies.Methods A total of 242 patients who underwent lumbar quantitative computed tomography(QCT)scans via utilizing the GSI technique were selected.Following the scans,the HAP(water)density values in four regions(anterosuperior,posterosuperior,anteroinferior,and posteroinferior)of each L1-L3 vertebral bodies were quantitatively measured using the material decomposition technique.Based on the QCT results,all cases were divided into three groups of normal bone mineral density,osteopenia,and osteoporosis.The distributions of HAP(water)density values in the four regions within each vertebral body were compared and analyzed among the groups.Results In all three groups of patients,the highest HAP(water)density values in the L1-L3 vertebral bodies were all located in the posteroinferior region,followed by the posterosuperior region.In the normal bone mineral density group,the lowest HAP(water)density values was found in the anterosuperior region of the L1 vertebral body.In the osteopenia and osteoporosis groups,the lowest HAP(water)density values was found in the anteroinferior region of the L1-L3 vertebral bodies.Conclusion Significant differences in HAP(water)density are present across different regions within lumbar vertebral bodies,which may be related to the development of vertebral osteoporosis and the location of fractures.

Carbamate pesticides, a new type of broad-spectrum pesticides for controlling pests, mites, and weeds, are developed to address the shortcomings of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticides. Their widespread use and slow degradation have led to environmental pollution, causing damage to ecosystems and human health. Managing pesticide residues is a pressing issue in the current environmental protection. This study aims to investigate the expression of SyEst870, a member of the SGNH/GDSL hydrolase family in Sphingobium yanoikuyae, in a prokaryotic system and evaluate the ability of the recombinant protein to degrade carbamate pesticides. The prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a-SyEst870 was constructed and transformed into the Escherichia coli BL21 for heterologous expression. The purified protein was studied in terms of enzyme activity and effects of temperature, pH, and metal ions on the enzyme activity, with p-nitrophenol acetate as the substrate and based on the standard curve of p-nitrophenol. LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) was employed to examine the degradation effects of SyEst870 on carbaryl, metolcarb, and isoprocarb. GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) was employed to detect the degradation products of SyEst870 for the three pesticides. The soluble protein SyEst870 was successfully obtained through the heterologous expression in Escherichia coli, which yielded an enzyme with the activity of 677.5 U after affinity chromatography. SyEst870 exhibited degradation rates of 82.34%, 84.43%, and 92.87% for carbaryl, metolcarb, and isoprocarb, respectively, at an initial concentration of 100 mg/L within 24 h at 30 ℃ and pH 7.0. The primary degradation products of carbaryl were identified as α-naphthol and methyl isocyanate. Metolcarb was mainly degraded into m-cresol and methyl isocyanate, and isoprocarb was mainly degraded into 2-isopropylphenol and methyl isocyanate. Compared with the half-life of carbamate pesticides in the natural environment, which ranges from a few days to several weeks, the recombinant protein SyEst870 can rapidly eliminate the residues of carbamate pesticides. This study lays a foundation for addressing pesticide residues in the environment and in fruits and vegetables.

Objective To design a practice courses and competency-oriented training in rehabilitation psychology,in response to the demands of team-based and interprofessional practices for professionals,based on World Health Organization re-habilitation competency framework(RCF).Methods Using the five core domains of RCF(practice,professionalism,learning and development,management and leadership,and research),this study analyzed the competencies and role positioning of undergraduate rehabilita-tion psychology students within team-based and interprofessional rehabilitation settings.It identifies the core competencies needed in these contexts and corresponding practical teaching approaches,to enhance students'ability to translate disciplinary knowledge into team-based and interprofessional practice competencies in real-world rehabilitation scenarios.Results The study yielded a competency-oriented practical curriculum structured around the teamwork and interprofes-sional practice requirements for rehabilitation psychology professionals.Based on RCF,we defined specific core competencies and developed a curricular framework incorporating pedagogical methods such as integrated as-sessments based on International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health,motivational interviewing,case study analysis,and standardized patient simulations.These methods are designed to build student proficien-cy in team communication,collaborative decision-making,case management and evidence-based practice.Conclusion In undergraduate rehabilitation psychology education,developing competency-based practical courses tar-geting team-based and interprofessional service competencies,which grounded in RCF,can enhance the quality and efficiency of talent cultivation in the field.It also helps improve students'capabilities in collaborative and in-terprofessional practice.RCF provides a theoretical foundation,practical tools,and reference frameworks for building competency-oriented curricula and instructional methods in rehabilitation psychology.
