Objective To systematically analyze the characteristics of functioning and vocational competency of college students with disabilities and explore effective career development pathways and methods.Methods This study systematically examined the functional characteristics and occupational competency structure of college students with disabilities,and proposed pathways to enhance their career development,using Internation-al Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF),rehabilitation competency framework(RCF),and achievement motivation theory.Results The study analyzed the functional performance of college students with disabilities across dimensions such as body functions and structures,activities and participation,and environmental factors,as well as their impact on occupational activities,using the Core Sets for Vocational Rehabilitation and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0(WHODAS 2.0).The study outlined the occupational competency framework for these students and proposed three synergistic pathways to enhance their career development,including empowerment,functional compensation,and inclusive environmental support,based on RCF and achievement motivation theory.Early in-tervention,professional career services and multi-stakeholder collaboration mechanisms were recommended to provide lifelong,personalized career counseling,guidance and support based on precise occupational needs and competency assessments.Conclusion The career development of college students with disabilities is influenced by multiple factors,including indi-vidual functional status,occupational competency and environmental conditions.Implementing strategies such as empowerment,functional compensation,and inclusive environmental support could safeguard their right to em-ployment in an inclusive workplace,effectively improving their employment quality and sustainable career devel-opment capabilities.

Objective:To explore the real experience of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in clinical trials of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, providing reference for clinical practice.Methods:This study was descriptive qualitative research. From January to December 2024, 15 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who completed a clinical trial of CAR-T cell therapy in Ward of Biological Immunotherapy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by purposive sampling method for semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed by content analysis method.Results:The experience of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma participating in the clinical trial of CAR-T cell therapy were summarized into three themes and 12 sub-themes, namely, the pre-enrollment situation and attitude towards the clinical trial: survival from adversity (caught in the dilemma of treatment, grasping the last hope, survival desire overcoming fear, active psychological construction), social support and power source in the clinical trial: support network (unnoticeable personal strength, multi-dimensional family support system, professional medical support system, weak peer support system), and experience and feeling after CAR-T cell therapy: positive experience driven by efficacy (satisfaction with treatment effectiveness and clinical trials, pleased with reduced adverse reactions, increased confidence in treating diseases, adverse reactions were not scary) .Conclusions:Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have an overall positive experience during clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapy, but the negatives should not be ignored. Healthcare professionals should strengthen the health education of clinical trials, assist patients to improve the social support network, make up for the short board of patient support, alleviate the adverse reactions of patients, and then increase the enthusiasm of patients to participate in clinical trials.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between Apelin and δ-like ligand 4(DLL4)expression levels and clinical stage and efficacy in patients with neovascular glaucoma(NVG).METHODS: A total of 96 NVG patients(96 eyes)who were admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to March 2024(NVG group)and 96 cataract patients(96 eyes)who underwent cataract surgery in our hospital during the same period(control group)were selected. NVG patients were divided into stage Ⅰ group(22 eyes), stage Ⅱ group(47 eyes)and stage Ⅲ group(27 eyes)according to the clinical stage; furthermore, patients were divided into ineffective group(20 eyes)and effective group(76 eyes)according to efficacy. Aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The influencing factors of the efficacy in NVG patients were analyzed by multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis, the evaluation efficiency of aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels on the efficacy in NVG patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels in the NVG group were increased(all P<0.001). Aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels in the stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ groups increased in turn(all P<0.001). The effective rate of 96 NVG patients was 79.2%(76/96). Compared with the effective group, aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels in the ineffective group increased(all P<0.001). Clinical stage III, high intraocular pressure, high Apelin and DLL4 were independent risk factors for ineffective treatment in NVG patients(all P<0.05). The area under the curve of the combined evaluation of aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels in evaluating the efficacy of NVG patients was 0.874, which was greater than 0.790 and 0.786 of aqueous Apelin and DLL4 levels alone(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels in NVG patients increase, which relate to the increase of clinical stage and poor efficacy, and the combination of aqueous humor Apelin and DLL4 levels is more effective in evaluating the efficacy of NVG patients.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the changes in blood levels of calcium and bone metabolism biochemical markers in patients with primary osteoporosis receiving treatment with denosumab. METHODS: Seventy-three patients with primary osteoporosis treated in our Department between December, 2021 and December 2023 were enrolled. All the patients were treated with calcium supplements, vitamin D and calcitriol in addition to regular denosumab treatment every 6 months. Blood calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), type I procollagen amino-terminal propeptide (PINP), and type I collagen carboxy-terminal telopeptide β special sequence (β‑CTX) data before and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the first treatment were collected from each patient. RESULTS: Three months after the first denosumab treatment, the bone turnover markers (BTMs) OC, PINP, and β-CTX were significantly decreased compared to their baseline levels by 39.5% (P<0.001), 56.2% (P<0.001), and 81.8% (P<0.001), respectively. At 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment, OC, PINP, and β-CTX remained significantly lower than their baseline levels (P<0.001). Blood calcium level was decreased (P<0.05) and PTH level increased (P<0.05) significantly in these patients at months of denosumab treatment, but their levels were comparable to the baseline levels at 6, 9, and 12 months of the treatment (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Denosumab can suppress BTMs and has a good therapeutic effect in patients with primary osteoporosis, but reduction of blood calcium and elevation of PTH levels can occur during the first 3 months in spite of calcium supplementation. Blood calcium and PTH levels can recover the baseline levels as the treatment extended, suggesting the importance of monitoring blood calcium and PTH levels during denosumab treatment.

Objective To analyze the short-term survival and prognostic quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by bacterial infection. Methods This study collected and analyzed 300 patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with infection who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University, and followed up to discuss their survival and quality of life. Results In this study, the top two causes of infection were spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (60.67% of patients) and pneumonia (50.67% of patients). The second causes were urinary tract infections (15.33%), gastrointestinal infections (12.33%), and other causes. There was no statistically significant difference between male and female patients (P>0.05). In addition, the proportion of hospital infections was 71.00%, and there was no statistically significant difference between male and female patients (P>0.05). A total of 353 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated in this study (73.37% of patients with hospital infections). The distribution analysis of pathogenic bacteria showed that the highest proportion of ECO was 35.98%, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.98%). The distribution trend of 259 strains of pathogenic bacteria among hospital patients was consistent with that of all strains, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Gram negative bacteria accounted for 79.60% (281/353) of all detected strains, of which Escherichia coli was mostly detected in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Klebsiella Pneumoniae (KPN) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) were mostly detected in patients with pneumonia, and Enterococcus (ENF) was mostly detected in patients with urinary tract infection; Among gram-negative bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis (SEP) and Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) are mostly found in patients with other infectious causes (blood flow infection, etc.) , and Streptococcus (STR) accounts for a high proportion in patients with Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. In this study, 9 cases of death prognosis were detected during follow-up, and there was no statistically significant difference in the detection of death prognosis between different bacterial strains in both genders, as well as the difference in detection of death prognosis between hospital infections and out of hospital infections in both genders (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection of death prognosis between males and females due to different causes of infection, P>0.05. The quality of life scores of 291 surviving patients were compared between baseline and follow-up, indicating an increase in follow-up scores, especially in the dimensions of physiological function and physical pain. There was no statistically significant difference between different bacterial strains, infection causes, and hospital/non hospital infections (P>0.05) . Conclusion Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and pneumonia are the main causes of infection that deserve special attention, and the main pathogens of infection are Gram negative bacteria. Targeted treatment and rehabilitation should be provided for patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by infection. At the same time, the proportion of hospital infections is relatively high, and attention should be paid to, prevention and control measures should be implemented as well.

The article describes the involvement of a clinical pharmacist in the pharmacotherapeutic process of a patient with severe intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy concomitant severe hyperlipidemia.Upon admission,the patient presented with triglyceride levels as high as 37.47 mmol·L-1,cholesterol levels of 15.70 mmol·L-1,and total bile acid levels elevated to 64.30 μmol·L-1,indicating a significantly increased risk of complications such as acute pancreatitis and intrauterine fetal demise.How to ensure the safety and efficacy of the medication at the same time is a major challenge in the treatment of this patient.The clinical pharmacist recommended a treatment regimen comprising ursodeoxycholic acid in combination with ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfonate to lower bile acid levels,alongside fenofibrate combined with ezetimibe to manage hyperlipidemia.After adjustment,triglycerides,cholesterol,and bile acid levels decreasing to 11.10 mmol·L-1,5.94 mmol·L-1,and 49.30 μmol·L-1,respectively.The patient's condition was stable,ultimately resulting in a favorable childbirth outcome.The clinical pharmacist provided personalized pharmaceutical care throughout the patient's treatment,and assisted the clinician to formulate a medication plan in a scientific and rational manner.This article can be served as a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar complex obstetric patients.
