ObjectiveTo elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment. MethodsBased on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index. ResultsThis study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP. ConclusionStructured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among the elderly population in rural areas of Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, and to provide an evidence for the development of LTBI prevention and control measures. MethodsBetween January and May 2024, elderly individuals participating in urban and rural residents’ health checkups were screened for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection using a domestically produced interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) kit. Individuals tested positive by IGRA but without active tuberculosis were classified as LTBI cases. The prevalence of LTBI among the participants was subsequently analyzed. ResultsAmong the 6 765 subjects, 637 tested positive by IGRA, including one identified active tuberculosis patient, resulting in a LTBI prevalence rate of 9.40%. There was a statistically significant difference in positivity rates across different IGRA methodologies (χ²=35.530, P<0.001). Higher LTBI rate was observed in males, individuals with a history of diabetes mellitus, and those with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, exhibiting statistically significant differences (χ²=32.401, P<0.001; χ²=5.789, P=0.020; χ²=39.248, P<0.001, respectively.) No statistically significant difference in LTBI rate was found across different age groups (χ²=0.238, P=0.971). ConclusionThe prevalence of LTBI among the elderly rural residents in Changxing County is relatively low. Male, individuals with a history of diabetes mellitus, and those with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis have an increased risk of LTBI, warranting targeted risk monitoring and timely interventions.

The sternum is the pivotal component of the thoracic cavity. It is connected with the clavicle and ribs on the upper part and both sides respectively, and plays an important role in protecting the stability of the chest wall. Sternal resection usually results in a large segmental chest wall defect that causes the chest wall to float and requires sternal reconstruction. This paper reports a 62 years male patient with thymic squamous cell carcinoma with sternal metastasis, who underwent thymotomy, sternal tumor resection and autologous lilum graft combined with sternal reconstruction by titanium plate after relevant examination was completed and surgical contraindications were eliminated. The patient was followed up for 6 months, the respiratory and motor functions were normal and the thoracic appearance was good.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)has become the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide,ranking 6th among all tumors.Due to the lack of obvious early symptoms,most patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage,and the clinical benefits of surgical resection and hepatic artery chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation are very limited.In recent years,the advent of immune-targeted therapies has revolutionized the systemic and systemic treatment of patients with advanced HCC,however,there is a lack of strong clinical evidence on the safety and efficacy of immune and targeted therapies for special populations,including patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection,active autoimmune disease,decompensated cirrhosis(Child B or C),patients with diabetes-associated metabolic syndrome,patients with portal hypertension,vascular invasion,or portal vein thrombosis(PVT),and patients with liver transplantation(LT).This article reviews the current research progress of immune and targeted drugs in special populations.

Exposure to occupational noise and heavy metals are common occupational hazards in workplaces. Occupational noise exposure not only leads to noise-induced hearing loss but also cognitive dysfunction. Exposure to common heavy metals such as lead, manganese, and cadmium during work is closely related to cognitive dysfunction in workers. Combined exposure to noise and heavy metals is common in workplaces. However, current research on the combined effects of exposure to occupational noise with lead or manganese on workers' cognitive function is not comprehensive or systematic. The method for cognitive dysfunction identification varies, leading to a lack of comparability. And the causality between occupational exposure and cognitive dysfunction in workers has not been clarified. Therefore, studying the cognitive dysfunction due to combined exposure to noise and common heavy metals is of great significance for workers' occupational health. In the future, it is necessary to unify the method for cognitive dysfunction identification and conduct systematic and comprehensive research on the effects, mechanisms, and combined effects of exposure to occupational noise with lead, manganese, cadmium, and other heavy metals on workers' cognitive dysfunction, to ensure the occupational health rights and interests of workers.

Objective　To investigate the relationship between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and excess heart age (EHA), offering theoretical insights into the nutritional prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods Data for this cross-sectional analysis was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2020, which included 16 442 participants aged 30 to 74 years without a history of CVD. The heart age was estimated using the Framingham risk score function, and EHA was subsequently calculated. The CDAI was formulated based on intake levels of vitamins A, C, E, zinc, selenium, and carotenoids to represent the overall level of antioxidants. The association between CDAI and EHA was evaluated using multivariate linear regression, multivariate logistic regression, and restricted cubic splines (RCS). Results Multiple regression analysis indicated that CDAI was negatively correlated with both EHA (β=-0.07, 95%CI: -0.14 to -0.01) and high CVD risk (defined as EHA≥10 years) (OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.96 to 1.00), with RCS analysis suggesting that this relationship is a nonlinear and inverse L-shaped. In the female subgroup, significant negative, nonlinear associations were observed between CDAI and both EHA (β=-0.10, 95%CI: -0.12 to 0.00) and high CVD risk (OR=0.97, 95%CI: 0.94 to 0.99). Conversely, in males, these correlations did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions Our findings suggest that individuals with higher CDAI compliance had a lower risk of CVD, and this negative correlation was gender specific. This discovery offers new theoretical guidance for the nutritional prevention of CVD, underlining the necessity for more comprehensive clinical and foundational research to further explore this association.
