ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the application of narrative education in undergraduate nursing teaching, to understand the current application status of narrative education, and to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent establishment of a sound narrative education system. MethodsA systematic search was conducted for studies published in Chinese and English databases on applying narrative education to undergraduate nursing teaching, with the search period ranging from database inception to February 23, 2025. Literature was screened, and relevant information was extracted. A rigorous quality evaluation was conducted on the included studies, and a descriptive analysis was performed on their content. ResultsA total of 20 papers were included, involving 3,180 research subjects, all of whom were undergraduate nursing students. The results of descriptive analysis showed that the teaching model of narrative education primarily encompassed reading narrative works, watching films and videos, performing narrative scenarios, and writing reflective journals. The course setting and content covered pre-teaching preparation and in-teaching implementation. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness included the evaluation of teachers’ teaching methods (student evaluation/self-evaluation) and the evaluation of students’ learning effectiveness (course grade evaluation/humanistic care scale/empathy scale assessment, and others). ConclusionNarrative education combines abstract concepts with concrete clinical situations, which not only enriches students’ learning experiences but also enhances their humanistic literacy. Meanwhile, it provides teachers with opportunities to develop their narrative teaching skills, which requires them to possess profound professional knowledge and employ narrative techniques to guide students in reflection and critical thinking, thereby improving teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future efforts should consistently deepen the connotation research of narrative education and build a systematic nursing education system.
2.The implementation situations, opportunities, and challenges of China’s integrated elderly care and medical services model and comprehensive care for the elderly
Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(3):289-295
China’s integrated elderly care and medical services model is mainly reflected in the close cooperation between medical institutions and pension institutions, providing comprehensive care services for the elderly, and has been promoted nationwide. However, this model still faces challenges, such as uneven resource distribution, inconsistent service standards, and a lack of talent. As the aging process of the population deepens continuously, the demand for integrated elderly care and medical services has increased, and relevant policies issued by the government and social concerns have brought development opportunities for this model. Scientific and technological advancements will also promote the development of integrated elderly care and medical services towards intelligence and personalization. It is expected that continuous investment in policies, capital, technology, and other aspects will be made to promote the standardization, specialization, and popularization of services to meet the needs of the elderly and improve their quality of life. The joint efforts of all sectors of society are also needed to continuously innovate service models and improve service levels, to effectively address the challenges brought by an aging society.

ObjectiveTo establish the specific chromatogram and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker(QAMS) based on linear calibration using two reference substances(LCTRS), explore the consistency between Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules and standard decoction, and evaluate the quality of the dispensing granules. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) specific chromatogram was established based on 15 batches of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction and 10 batches of the dispensing granules, and LCTRS was used to locate chromatographic peaks. The actual retention times of 7 characteristic peaks in the specific chromatogram was measured on 24 different types of C18 columns, taking deacetyl asperulosidic acid and asperulosidic acid as the dual standard compounds, the retention times of the other 5 characteristic peaks were predicted and validated. Based on this, QAMS was developed to determine the contents of four components(deacetyl asperulosidic acid, deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester, asperulosidic acid, and p-coumaric acid). Then, the relative correction factors of deacetyl asperulosidic acid, deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester and p-coumaric acid were calculated using the reference peak of asperulosidic acid in the dual standard compounds, and each component was quantified accordingly. Finally, the consistency between the dispensing granules and standard decoction was assessed by taking extract rate of the standard decoction, consistency of the specific chromatograms, contents and transfer rates of the indicator components as indexes, and the quality of the dispensing granules was evaluated. ResultsThere were 7 common peaks in the characteristic chromatogram of samples of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction and the dispensing granules, and four of them were identified by reference standards, namely deacetyl asperulosidic acid(peak 1), deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester(peak 3), asperulosidic acid(peak 6) and p-coumaric acid(peak 7). The similarity between the dispensing granules and the standard decoction was >0.9. The absolute deviation in the predicted retention time for each component by LCTRS was lower than that of the relative retention time method. The extract rate of the 15 batches of Hedyotis Herba standard decoction ranged from 7.89% to 14.60%, the contents of deacetyl asperulosidic acid, deacetyl asperulosidic acid methyl ester, asperulosidic acid and p-coumaric acid were 6.62-19.70, 3.83-17.99, 1.57-6.69, 1.62-4.52 mg·g-1, and the transfer rates of these components from decoction pieces to the standard decoction were 22.89%-39.60%, 34.03%-62.24%, 24.25%-43.70%, and 40.58%-73.71%, respectively. The extract rate, index component contents and transfer rates from decoction pieces to the three batches of Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules(P1-P3), produced by manufacturer A, were similar to those of the standard decoction prepared from the same batch of decoction pieces, and all fell within the specified range. The contents of the 4 indicator components in 7 batches of the dispensing granules(P4-P10) from manufacturers B-E were all within the range of the content converted from the standard decoction based on the quantity of the dispensing granules. ConclusionThe established specific chromatogram and QAMS based on LCTRS are reasonable and reliable. Based on the evaluation indicators of standard decoction yield, consistency of specific chromatograms, contents and transfer rates of the four index components, the 10 batches of Hedyotis Herba dispensing granules from various manufacturers have exhibited good consistency with the standard decoction, indicating that the current production process is relatively reasonable.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of deoxyribonuclease Ⅰ (DNaseⅠ) on Cutibacterium acnes biofilms. Methods:Cutibacterium acnes biofilms were constructed, and then were divided into 4 groups (negative control group, 5, 10 and 20 U/ml DNase Ⅰ groups) to be treated with DNase Ⅰ at different concentrations of 0, 5, 10 and 20 U/ml respectively. The biofilm viability was evaluated by tetrazolium salt colorimetric assay, the biofilm content was determined by crystal violet staining-based semi-quantitative analysis, the biofilm structure was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy, and the live/dead bacteria ratio was calculated. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze differences between groups. Results:After the treatment with DNase Ⅰ, the biofilm viability was significantly inhibited in the 5, 10 and 20 U/ml DNaseⅠ groups (1.882 ± 0.421, 1.653 ± 0.287, 1.473 ± 0.154, respectively) compared with the negative control group (2.668 ± 0.245), and the inhibitory effect was gradually enhanced with the increase in concentrations of DNase Ⅰ ( F = 9.68, P = 0.005). Crystal violet semi-quantitative analysis showed that the biofilm content was also significantly lower in the 5, 10 and 20 U/ml DNaseⅠ groups (1.039 ± 0.003, 0.489 ± 0.079, 0.147 ± 0.034, respectively) than in the negative control group (1.359 ± 0.071), and the higher the DNase Ⅰ concentration, the lower the biofilm content ( F = 174.40, P < 0.001). Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed that the biofilm structure was destroyed in the 5, 10 and 20 U/ml DNase Ⅰ groups compared with the negative control group, and the higher the DNase Ⅰ concentration, the more severe the destruction of biofilm structure. Additionally, the live/dead bacteria ratio was significantly lower in the 5, 10 and 20 U/ml DNaseⅠ groups (2.303 ± 0.457, 1.534 ± 0.526, 1.263 ± 0.354, respectively) than in the negative control group (4.475 ± 0.146), and the ratio decreased with the increase in concentrations of DNase Ⅰ ( F = 56.75, P < 0.000 1) . Conclusion:DNase Ⅰ had a destructive effect on the structure of Cutibacterium acnes biofilms, and could inhibit their viability.

Objective:To clarify the key genes and biological processes in spermatogenesis, integrate and analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key signaling pathways in the differentiation process of human spermatogonia (SPG), and to explore the early molecular mechanism of spermatogenesis, increase the molecular biology understanding of SPG differentiation process.Methods:The transcriptome data of human undifferentiated spermatogonia and differentiated spermatogonia (dSPG) were downloaded from the public database. Hisat2 and StingTie were used to screen DEGs. DEGs were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis. MACS2 software was used to analyze the open chromatin regions (OCRs) in ATAC-seq data.Results:A total of 8 532 DEGs were screened, including 4 127 up-regulated genes and 4 405 down-regulated genes. They regulate the differentiation of SPG through some important biological processes, such as cell cycle, cytokine-mediated signaling pathways, organic matter metabolism, cell movement, and methylation. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that some important signaling pathways including FoxO signaling pathway and JAK-STAT signaling pathway played an important role in SPG differentiation. GO enrichment analysis showed that methylation played an important role in the differentiation of SPG, and the expression of methylation-related genes was significantly different. The TDRDs family was significantly enriched, and 9 TDRDs genes were found to be more active in dSPG. Conclusion:In this study, the differentially expressed genes during SPG differentiation were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and the differences in transcription and chromatin levels of key genes were clarified, which laid an important theoretical foundation for the study of SPG differentiation mechanism.
