OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of the active ingredient compatibility(quercetin, quercitrin and kaempferol at a mass ratio of 2∶9∶3)of Dimocarpus longan Lour. leaves(abbreviated as CDL) on ameliorating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, metformin hydrochloride group (100 mg/kg), and CDL high-, medium- and low-dose groups (280, 140, 75 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank control group were fed with standard chow, while rats in the other groups were given high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to establish the T2DM rat model. After successful modeling, rats in each administration group were given corresponding drug solution, and rats in the blank control group and model group were intragastrically administered with equal volume of pure water, once a day, for consecutive 4 weeks. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was detected at fixed time every week. The curves of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (IPITT) were plotted, and the area under curve (AUC) was calculated. The pancreatic islet function indexes [fasting insulin (FINS), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index (ISI)],blood lipid indexes [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and hepatic glycogen content were determined. The pathological morphological changes of liver and pancreatic tissues were observed. The protein and mRNA expression levels of molecules related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in liver tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the blank control group, the FBG, AUC of IPITT curve, AUC of OGTT curve, HOMA-IR, the levels of FINS, TC, TG and LDL-C, as well as the protein and mRNA expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog, forkhead box protein O1 and glycogen synthase kinase-3β in liver tissues were significantly increased in the model group ( P <0.05). ISI, the levels of HDL-C and hepatic glycogen content, along with the protein and mRNA expression of PI3K, insulin receptor substrate-1, Akt and protein expression of phosphorylated Akt in liver tissues were markedly decreased ( P <0.05). In model group rats, the arrangement of hepatocytes was irregular, the overall structure of pancreatic lobules was disordered, and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. Compared with the model group, most of the above quantitative indexes were significantly reversed in the CDL high-dose group ( P <0.05), and the pathological lesions of liver and pancreas were obviously alleviated. CONCLUSIONS CDL can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, elevate insulin sensitivity and relieve insulin resistance in T2DM rats. Its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

In this study, we proposed an idea on systematic construction and optimization of a clinical coaching teacher qualification access system in Peking University Third Hospital by combining lean thinking and the Six Sigma methodology and following the steps of definition, measurement, analysis, improvement, and control. Based on the constructivism theory, the clinical coaching teacher qualification access system is divided into two progressive sessions: access to clinical coaching qualifications and access to theoretical teaching qualifications. By analyzing the appraisal data of clinical coaching teacher qualification access in the past 10 years, we revealed the data characteristics of pass rates of clinical coaching qualifications to determine the goal for dynamic improvement. On top of this analysis, we identified measures to maintain a stable pass rate of clinical coaching teacher qualification access, optimized the development direction and path of the clinical coaching teacher qualification access, and continuously promoted the teaching ability of teachers through the coordinated implementation of different systems and measures. In our research, we expanded the administrative scope of the access system, sorted out the objectives and paths of the system improvement, and provided a practical reference for constructing a clinical coaching teacher qualification access system and promoting the construction of teaching quality standardization in university-affiliated hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the application value of optimized mesenteric defect closure technique in laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 26 patients who underwent laparo-scopic-assisted right hemicolectomy at Changzhi People′s Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from May 2023 to June 2024 were collected. There were 11 males and 15 females, aged (65.7±1.8)years. All patients received optimized mesenteric defect closure using a combined extra-corporeal-laparoscopic suturing technique. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and intraoperative conditions; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical and intraoperative conditions. All 26 patients underwent laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy with optimized mesenteric defect closure. The time of optimized mesenteric defect closure was 9.8(8.8,12.8)minutes, time of digestive tract reconstruction was 10.0(8.7,13.0)minutes, operation time was (164±4)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(50,100)mL. One of the 26 patients had intraoperative mesenteric hematoma, which required no specific intervention. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from hospital. (2) Postoperative conditions. The visual analog scale pain score of 26 patients on postoperative day 1 and day 3 were 5(4,5) and 3(2,3), respectively. Time to postoperative first anal flatus and bowel movement were both 3(3, 4)days. Time to postoperative first intake of liquid diet was 2(2,3)days, duration of postoperative abdominal drainage was 4(3,5)days, and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 9(8,12)days. The number of lymph node dissected in 26 patients was 25(18,27) and the number of positive lymph node was 1(0,2). Cases in stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ of tumor TNM staging were 5, 6, 15. (3) Follow-up. All 26 patients were followed up for 15(range, 6?20)months. Of the 26 patients, one case had incom-plete intestinal obstruction on postoperative day 25, which was diagnosed as adhesive intestinal obstruction based on imaging examination and classified as Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ. The patient recovered and was discharged after conservative treatment. None of the 26 patients had bleeding, infection of incision, anastomotic leakage, internal hernia, or delayed gastric emptying. There was no tumor recurrence, metastasis or death.Conclusion:The optimized mesenteric defect closure tech-nique in combined extracorporeal-laparoscopic suturing procedure can be used in laparoscopic-assisted right hemicolectomy.

Objective To predict the lymphovascular invasion(LVI)status of breast cancer patients based on digital breast tomo-synthesis(DBT)intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics nomogram.Methods A total of 192 breast cancer patients from 2 institu-tions were retrospectively selected,in which institution 1 was used for train(n=113)and test(n=49),while institution 2 was used for external validation(n=30).Radiomics features were extracted and selected based on intratumoral and peritumoral 1 mm regions from DBT images.Different machine learning algorithms were used to construct intratumoral,peritumoral,and combined intratumoral and peritumoral models,respectively.Patient clinical data were analyzed by both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analy-ses to identify independent risk factors for the clinical imaging model.The performance of the models was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The radiomics features with the optimal diagnostic performance and the selected clinical imaging features were combined to construct a comprehensive clinical-radiomics model,and a nomogram was drawn.Results The combined intratumoral and peritumoral model was the optimal radiomics model.Maximum tumor diameter[odds ratio(OR)=1.486,P=0.014],suspicious malignant calcifications(OR=2.898,P=0.015),and axillary lymph node(ALN)metastasis(OR=3.615,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for LVI positive.Furthermore,the area under the curve(AUC)of the comprehensive clinical-radiomics model in the training set,test set and external valida-tion set was 0.889,0.916,and 0.862,respectively,which was higher than those of the combined intratumoral and peritumoral model(0.858,0.849,0.844)and the clinical imaging model(0.743,0.759,0.732).Conclusion The predictive nomogram,derived from both radiomics and clinical imaging features,is relatively accurate in identifying future LVI occurrence in breast cancer,demonstra-ting its potential as an assistive tool for clinicians to devise individualized treatment regimes.

Objective:To compare the safety, number of lymph nodes removed, rate of lymph node metastasis, and prognosis between proximal gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG) in patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction at Changzhi People's Hospital, affiliated with Changzhi Medical College, between December 2019 and November 2022, were collected. Patients who had received neoadjuvant therapy, had multiple malignant lesions in the stomach, had concomitant malignancies in other organs, had incomplete clinical data, or had been lost to follow-up were excluded. The study cohort comprised 308 patients, 99 in the PG group and 209 in the TG group. To reduce confounding bias, propensity score matching was performed, matching patients for age, sex, body mass index, tumor diameter, and pathological stage in a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 73 patients in each group. The primary outcomes assessed were operative details, number of lymph nodes dissected, rate of lymph node metastasis, postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and follow-up and survival outcomes.Results:The PG group had a significantly shorter median operative time than did the TG group (250 vs. 280 minutes, Z = -4.970, P<0.001), with fewer cases of intraoperative blood loss >100 mL (30.1%[22/73] vs. 46.6%[34/73], χ2=4.171, P=0.041), and a smaller number of lymph nodes removed (median 33 vs. 46, Z =-4.774, P<0.001); all of these differences are statistically significant (all P<0.05). Differences between the two groups in postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found between the PG and TG groups in the number of lymph nodes dissected or the lymph node metastasis rates at stations No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4sa, No. 4sb, and No. 7 (all P> 0.05). Among the 209 patients in the TG group, analysis of risk factors for metastasis to distal perigastric lymph nodes (No.4d, No.5, and No.6) showed that patients with tumor diameters ≤4 cm and T1–T3 stage disease had significantly lower rates of metastasis to these lymph nodes than did patients with tumor diameters >4 cm and/or T4 stage disease (0/78 vs. 12/131 [9.2%]); these differences are statistically significant ( P=0.014). The median duration of follow-up for the entire cohort was 26 months. The 3-year overall survival rates for the PG and TG groups were 62.5% and 63.3%, respectively; this difference is not statistically significant (χ 2=0.330, P = 0.565). Multivariate analysis showed that older age ( P = 0.035) and advanced pathological stage ( P = 0.018) were significant independent risk factors that affected overall survival in patients with Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. Conclusions:PG is safe and feasible for patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. The number of lymph nodes dissected and metastasis status were similar in the TG and PG groups.
