    Patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) progressing to end-stage renal disease rely on maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) for survival.However,long-term dialysis is often accompanied by multidimensional functional decline,including muscle atrophy,reduced cardiopulmonary function,and psychological disorders,severely impairing quality of life.This study systematically elucidates the mechanisms of a functionally stratified,stepwise exercise intervention in delaying functional decline among MHD patients and establishes a standardized clinical practice pathway.Using tools such as the modified Barthel index(MBI),6-minute walk test,and grip strength test,patients are stratified into three functional tiers:bedridden,semi-bedridden,and self-care.Tailored exercise prescriptions are then implemented:bedridden patients receive active/passive joint mobilization and respiratory training to prevent pressure ulcers and contractures;semi-bedridden patients undergo balance and transfer training to restore basic mobility;self-care patients engage in aerobic and resistance exercises to mitigate sarcopenia and cognitive decline.Evidence demonstrates that this stepwise intervention significantly enhances muscle mass and strength(via resistance training),improves cardiopulmonary endurance and metabolic regulation(via aerobic exercise),and alleviates anxiety and depression by modulating neurotransmitter release(e.g.,endorphins) and cerebral blood flow,thereby disrupting the "fatigue-reduced activity-functional decline" vicious cycle.The protocol integrates physiological and psychological interventions,emphasizing dynamic assessments and adaptive strategies(e.g.,adjusting exercise prescriptions every 3-6 months),optimizes exercise timing and intensity relative to dialysis cycles,and ensures safety and efficacy.Future multicenter,long-term studies are warranted to validate cost-effectiveness and broader applicability,providing evidence-based strategies for preserving functional capacity in MHD patients.

    Objective   To explore the influencing factors for coagulation dysfunction in elderly patients with severe pneumonia complicated by sepsis,and to create a Logistic regression prediction model to analyze its predictive value for the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction,providing a reference for formulating clinical intervention plans.Methods   A total of 118 elderly patients with severe pneumonia accompanied by sepsis treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2023 to January 2025 were selected for a retrospective analysis.These patients were categorized into the occurrence group and non-occurrence group based on whether they developed coagulation dysfunction within 72 hours after admission.The clinical data of the two groups were compared,and the influencing factors for coagulation dysfunction were analyzed.A risk prediction model was constructed,and its calibration and discrimination were verified.Results   Among 118 elderly patients with severe pneumonia accompanied by sepsis,the incidence of coagulation dysfunction within 72 hours after admission was 66.10%(78/118).The patients of occurrence group had significantly older age,longer time from onset to admission,longer duration of severe pneumonia,higher acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) scores,D-dimer,blood lactate,serum procalcitonin(PCT),and interleukin-6(IL-6) than the non-occurrence group (P<0.05).Age,time from onset to admission,APACHE Ⅱ score,D-dimer,blood lactate,serum PCT,IL-6 levels were independent risk factors for the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction(P<0.05).Logit(P)=-5.224+0.239×age+0.313×APACHE Ⅱ score+0.138×time from onset to admission+

    0.300×PCT+0.192×blood lactate+0.330×IL-6+0.233×D-Dimer.The area under the curve(AUC) of the Logistic regression prediction model for the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction was 0.924 (95%CI:0.861~0.965),with a sensitivity of 84.62% and a specificity of 90.00%.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test obtained the value χ2=7.556 ,P=0.092.The internal validation method revealed a mean absolute error(MAE) of 0.012 and a mean squared error(MSE) of 0.000 15.The Bootstrap test indicated a C-index of 0.585(95%CI:0.485~0.633).Conclusion   Age,time from onset to admission,APACHE Ⅱ score,D-dimer,blood lactate,serum PCT,IL-6 levels are independent risk factors for the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction in elderly patients with severe pneumonia accompanied by sepsis.A Logistic regression prediction model constructed based on these risk factors has good predictive value for the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction and is helpful in guiding the development of individualized treatment plans in clinical practice to reduce the occurrence of coagulation dysfunction.

    Patellar tendinopathy(PT),as a chronic knee disorder prevalent among jumping athletes,is characterized by pain at the inferior patellar pole,restricted athletic performance, prolonged duration,and high recurrence rates.It severely affects the quality of life.Overload-repair imbalance caused by chronic tendon overloading is the core pathogenesis of PT,leading to collagen disorganization and degenerative changes.This study systematically analyzed the anatomical,biomechanical,and pathophysiological mechanisms of PT.The findings revealed that the proximal patellar tendon is structurally more vulnerable to injuries.Biomechanical abnormalities (ankle inversion,hip muscle weakness) significantly increase tendon stress.Imaging features of PT include tendon thickening,hypoechoic areas,and calcification.Pathological stages encompass reactive tendinopathy,failed healing,and degenerative tendinopathy.Based on these insights,a staged-combined rehabilitation strategy based on the stratification of pain degree is proposed as follows.In the acute phase(marked by severe pain),pain relief and load management are prioritized through isometric training combined with low-intensity shock wave therapy to suppress inflammation.In the chronic phase (characterized by structural degeneration),medium-to-high-intensity shock wave therapy and eccentric training are employed to promote collagen synthesis,integrated with progressive loading exercises to enhance tendon function.Concurrently,comprehensive lower-limb biomechanical adjustments(targeting the ankle,knee,and hip joints) are emphasized to reduce tendon stress at its source.This strategy demonstrates advantages in symptom alleviation,functional restoration,and recurrence prevention.However,future studies are required to validate its long-term efficacy and explore precision staging and individualized treatment approaches,ultimately advancing PT management from symptomatic control to full functional recovery.
