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.

Aim To observe the effect of Astragalus membranaceus and Angelica sinensis on the apoptosis of chondrocytes,and to investigate the effect of Astrag-alus membranaceus and Angelica sinensis on the sur-vival of fresh ostecartilage allograft.Methods Forty-eight 4-month-old New Zealand white rabbits,half male and half female,were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,positive group and As-tragalus and Angelica 5∶1 group.In addition to the sham operation group,the other groups were both male and female donors and recipients for knee joint osteo-cartilage cross transplantation modeling.After 8 weeks of drug intervention,samples were taken for general observation,HE staining,saffrane-O staining,immu-nohistochemical staining,qPCR and Western blot de-tection.Results Compared with model group,As-tragalus and Angelica 5∶1 group and positive group,the repair site healed better,the morphology of osteo-chondrocytes tended to be normal,and the division and proliferation were obvious.Proteoglycan deposition in-creased and type Ⅱ collagen content was higher,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).qPCR and Western blot results showed that compared with model group,the mRNA and protein expressions of Bax,caspase-3 and caspase-9 in other groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion As-tragalus and Angelica can promote the survival of fresh osteochondral allograft,and its mechanism may be re-lated to promoting collagen production,promoting chondrocyte proliferation and inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis.

Objective Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of f trochanteric flip osteotomy combined with Kocher-Langen-beck approach for high acetabular posterior wall fracture.Methods Between January 2020 and December 2022,20 patients with high acetabular posterior wall fractures were retrospectively analyzed,including 12 males and 8 females,aged 18 to 75 years old.They were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods.Ten patients were treated with greater trochanteric osteotomy combined with Kocher-Langenbeck approach as the observation group,including 5 males and 5 fe-males,aged from 18 to 75 years old.Ten patients were treated with Kocher-Langenbeck approach alone as the control group,including 7 males and 3 females,aged from 18 to 71 years old.Matta reduction criteria were used to evaluate the reduction quality of the two groups,and Harris score was used to compare the hip function of the two groups at the latest follow-up.The operation time,blood loss and postoperative complications of the two groups were analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 10 to 24 months.According to the Matta fracture reduction quality evaluation criteria,the observation group achieved anatomical reduction in 6 cases,satisfactory reduction in 3 cases,and unsatisfactory reduction in 1 case,while the control group only achieved anatomical reduction in 3 cases,satisfactory reduction in 3 cases,and unsatisfactory reduction in 4 cases.At the final follow-up,the Harris hip score ranged from 71.4 to 96.6 in the observation group and 65.3 to 94.5 in the control group.According to the results of Harris score.The hip joint function of the observation group was excellent in 6 cases,good in 3 cases,and fair in 1 case.The hip joint function of the control group was excellent in 2 cases,good in 3 cases,fair in 3 cases,and poor in 2 cases.In the observation group,the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 300 to 700 ml,and the operation dura-tion ranged from 120 to 180 min;in the control group,the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 300 to 650 ml,and the opera-tion duration ranged from 100 to 180 min.Complications in the observation group included 1 case of traumatic arthritis and 1 case of heterotopic ossification,while complications in the control group included 3 cases of traumatic arthritis,3 cases of het-erotopic ossification and 1 case of hip abduction weakness.Conclusions Trochanteric flip osteotomy combined with the Kocher-Langenbeck approach significantly improved anatomical fracture reduction rates,enhanced excellent and good hip joint function outcomes,and reduced surgical complication incidence compared to the Kocher-Langenbeck approach alone.Clinical application of this combined approach is promising,although larger studies are needed for further validation.

Objective:To investigate the reversal effect and mechanism of asiatic acid (AA)on multidrug resistance in human adriamycin (ADR)chronic myeloid leukemia K562/ADR cells.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the resistance of K562 cells and K562/ADR cells to ADR.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of AA on K562/ADR cell viability and adriamycin sensitization.After K562/ADR cells were treated with non-toxic doses of AA(10,20μmol/L),the average fluorescence intensity of ADR was detected by flow cytometry.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 mRNA.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 proteins.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 proteins in K562/ADR cells treated with 20μmol/L AA and Wnt/β-catenin pathway agonist WAY-262611 (5 μmol/L).Results:The CCK-8 assay showed that the drug resistance of K562/ADR cells was 56.57 times that of K562 cells,showing stable drug resistance,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ).AA inhibited the proliferative activity of K562/ADR cells in a concentration-dependent manner(r=0.9666).Compared with 0 μmol/L AA group,the 10 and 20 μmol/L AA groups could significantly enhance the average fluorescence intensity of intracellular ADR (P<0.05 ),and reverse the cell resistance to ADR (P<0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 in cells were down-regulated (P<0.05).Compared with 20μmol/L AA group,the expression levels of MRP1,P-gp,β-catenin,C-myc and cyclinD1 protein in 20 μmol/L AA+WAY group were significantly increased (P<0.05 ). Conclusion:AA inhibits K562/ADR cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner and reverse their resistance to ADR,the reversal mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of MRP1 and P-gp expression after inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the decision to delivery interval (DDI) in emergency cesarean section in Guangzhou and the impact of DDI on maternal-infant outcomes.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on clinical data of pregnant women who underwent emergency cesarean section at municipal and district maternal and child health hospitals in Guangzhou city in 2021. Per the classification method of emergency cesarean section and recommendations for DDI provided by National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines, these subjects were classified into Category Ⅰ and Category Ⅱ cesarean sections. Each category was further divided into two subgroups based on DDI: the Category Ⅰ group into >30 min and ≤30 min subgroups, and the Category Ⅱ group into >75 min and ≤75 min subgroups. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, two independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the potential factors influencing DDI and the impact of DDI on maternal-infant outcomes. Results:(1) Totally 502 women underwent urgent cesarean section, including 304 (60.6%) Category Ⅰ and 198 (39.4%) Category Ⅱ, were analyzed. Among the Category Ⅰ group, 30.3% (92/304) achieved a DDI of ≤30 min, while 37.4% (74/198) of Category Ⅱ cases had a DDI of ≤75 min. (2) For the Category Ⅰ cases, multivariate logistic regression showed that more patients under intravertebral anesthesia, than those under general anesthesia, had a DDI >30 min ( OR=14.04, 95% CI: 6.14-32.10) as well as more with ward-based emergencies than those with delivery room emergencies ( OR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.72-6.00, both P=0.001). Among the Category Ⅱ cases, logistic regression revealed that cesarean section during routine working hours was more likely to achieve DDI >75 min than that during resting hours ( OR=3.93, 95% CI: 2.03-7.63, P=0.001). The risk of DDI >75 min was higher in tertiary maternal and child health hospitals compared with secondary maternal and child health hospitals ( OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.06-5.70, P=0.037). (3) Among the Category Ⅰ cases, compared with the DDI ≤30 min group, the DDI >30 min group had a lower risk of neonatal Apgar score ≤7 at 1 min ( OR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.14-0.69, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in the risk of neonatal Apgar score ≤7 at 5 min ( OR=0.21, 95% CI: 0.04-1.17) or neonatal asphyxia ( OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.07-1.44) between the two subgroups. In cases of Category Ⅱ cesarean sections, there was no significant difference in any maternal-infant outcomes between DDI ≤75 min and DDI >75 min subgroups. Conclusions:The location of emergency and types of anesthesia are the influencing factors of DDI for Category Ⅰ cesarean sections, while the operation time and level of maternal and child health hospital are the influencing factors of DDI for Category Ⅱ cesarean sections. We did not find any impact of DDI on maternal or infant outcome.
