Based on the theory of "shaoyang（少阳） resembling the pivot" and collateral diseases， this article proposes that pulmonary fibrosis （PF） can be divided into three stages including wind bi （痹）， constraint bi， and atrophy bi. The core pathogenesis of PF is the obstruction of the pivot and pulmonary collateral obstruction. In terms of treatment， the basic principles are to harmonize and regulate the pivot， and to promote the circulation of the lung collaterals. Depending on the different characteristics of the "essence-attribute-function"， treatment methods such as harmonizing and regulating the pivot， resolving phlegm and removing stasis， supplementing deficiency and harmonizing collaterals are suggested. This approach ensures the regulation of the pivot， smooth circulation of qi and blood， unblocking of the lung collaterals and nourishing the lung body， achieving the goals of balancing the ascending and descending of qi， removing phlegm and stasis， and relieving cough and wheezing.

Objective:To develop a scientific and practical questionnaire for general practice residents, and to conduct multidimensional and comprehensive evaluation of the quality of general practice teaching clinics.Methods:A preliminary draft of the questionnaire items was formulated based on a literature review and in-depth interviews. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultation with 14 experts. Following revisions, a convenience sampling method was used to invite general practice residents from three standardized residency training bases to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:The questionnaire consisted of 23 items, covering the three dimensions of preparation, implementation process, and comprehensive evaluation of the teaching clinics. The response rates for the two rounds of the expert consultation were both 100.00%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.89 and 0.90, respectively. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.93, and the correlation coefficients between each item score and the total score were all >0.30. Structural validity analysis revealed that three common factors were extracted from the questionnaire, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 77.89%. Conclusions:The General Practice Teaching Clinic Quality Evaluation Questionnaire for Residents developed in this study demonstrates high reliability and validity. The questionnaire provides a scientific basis for the standardized assessment of teaching quality in general practice clinics. By incorporating resident feedback on the teaching process, the questionnaire promotes the development of a teaching clinic quality improvement mechanism focused on residents and plays a significant role in enhancing the teaching capabilities of supervising physicians in clinics.

Objective:To fine-tune the mT5 (massively multilingual pre-trained text-to-text transformer) large language model, automatically generate report conclusions for teaching purposes from chest CT image descriptions, and assess the quality of automatically generated conclusions.Methods:The training set included 3 000 high-quality physical examination chest CT reports from one hospital, and the external validation set consisted of 600 physical examination chest CT reports from two other hospitals. Experienced radiology teaching physicians assessed the consistency between the generated conclusions and the original physician-written conclusions in the external validation set using a 5-point Likert scale across five linguistic indicators (correctness of examination information, correctness of lesion detection, standardization of terminology, applicability of the conclusions, and simplicity of conclusions). Using the original report conclusions as the reference, the accuracy of the conclusions generated based on the external validation set in describing four major thoracic conditions (pulmonary nodules, pneumonia, emphysema, pleural effusion) was evaluated. Perform chi square test using SPSS 25.0.Results:In the external validation set, the mean consistency score between the generated conclusions and the original conclusions given by the radiology teaching physicians was >4 points, indicating agreement with the original conclusions. In the generated conclusions, the description of the four major thoracic conditions demonstrated 0.95-1.00 (95% CI=0.91-1.00) accuracy, 0.76-1.00 (95% CI=0.59-1.00) sensitivity, and 0.97-1.00 (95% CI=0.91-1.00) specificity. Conclusions:The chest CT report conclusion generation system based on the mT5 large language model demonstrated high accuracy and is expected to provide immediate and efficient automated guidance for standardized residency training.

In response to the new requirements for course instruction outlined in the revised training program for medical imaging program, this study integrated medical imaging technology courses based on the principle of outcome-oriented education and by leveraging self-developed digital resources, with imaging methods as the entry point. The core elements of the course teaching were re-optimized and reorganized to transcend the temporal and spatial limitations of course delivery, enabling the rational application of diverse teaching methods. This approach facilitated the integration of knowledge across three specialized courses, namely medical imaging physics, medical imaging equipment, and medical imaging examination techniques, and achieved full-dimensional and whole-process teaching evaluation. While reducing the number of hours allocated to theoretical instruction, the teaching objectives were achieved with high quality, providing a reference for the integration of digital technologies into the teaching of medical imaging and related disciplines.

Objective:To translate the quality of life tool for patients with aplastic anaemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (QLQ-AA/PNH) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the scale translation principle, the Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH was formed through translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation. A cross-sectional survey method was used to conveniently select 58 patients with aplastic anemia who were treated in the hematology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2018 to September 2023 for investigation, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH retains 36 items, and 5 common factors (psychological status dimension, life burden dimension, physical condition dimension, illness anxiety dimension and other symptom dimension) were extracted through exploratory factor analysis. The cumulative variance contribution rate reached 71.33%, and the factor load of each entry was greater than 0.5 on corresponding common factors. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale as a whole was 0.971, the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.985, the Cronbach α coefficient of each common factor was 0.637 to 0.954, and the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.637 to 0.930. Conclusions:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH has been proved to be valid and reliable. It is a valuable tool for evaluating the quality of life among patients with aplastic anaemia.

Gastric carcinoma(GC),a highly prevalent malignant tumor globally,often progresses to advanced stages by the time of diagnosis due to its insidious clinical presentation,thereby significantly reducing therapeutic effectiveness and patient quality of life.Accurate screening and histopathological characterization of early gastric cancer(EGC)are essential for developing individualized treatment approaches.Although endoscopic techniques remain the gold standard for early GC detection,their diagnostic accuracy is largely dependent on the operator's skill,a challenge that current artificial intelligence(AI)-assisted innovations aim to address by stan-dardizing diagnostic procedures.Deep learning(DL)-based computer vision systems have demonstrated remarkable performance in identifying subtle EGC features,not only improving lesion detection sensitivity but also enabling automated assessment of key pathological indicators.These technological advances offer objective,visualized diag-nostic support for clinical decision-making.This review provides a systematic overview of recent developments in DL applications for endoscopic image analysis of EGC and evaluates their potential for clinical integration.

Objective:To investigate the recognition advantage of metaphorical micro-counseling dialogue texts in mental health contexts,and to explore a potential explanatory role of insight.Methods:A total of 104 col-lege students,recruited through a network announcement,were randomly assigned to three groups.In the learning phase,participants read negative cognitions paired with metaphorical or literal solutions and rated the insightfulness of each solution.In the recognition phase,previously unseen solutions were intermixed,and participants judged whether each item had been presented before and rated their confidence.Recognition was assessed after 15 minutes(n=37),1 day(n=33),or 7 days(n=34).Reaction time was recorded,and recognition sensitivity and criterion was calculated using signal detection theory.Results:At three intervals,the scores of insightfulness,recognition sen-sitivity,recognition criterion,and recognition confidence of metaphorical solutions were both higher than those of literal solutions(Ps＜0.001),and the recognition reaction time of metaphorical solutions were all shorter than those of literal solutions(P＜0.001).The insightfulness scores of the solutions were positively correlated with the scores of recognition sensitivity,recognition criterion,recognition confidence,and recognition reaction time(β=0.67,0.13,0.18,-0.39).Conclusion:This study suggests that the use of metaphors in mental health contexts may en-hance long-term memory,with insight playing a significant mediating role in this process.

Objective:To investigate the temporal dynamics of strategy monitoring during prospective memory testin individuals with varying degrees of media multitasking.Methods:Twenty heavy media multitaskers and twen-ty light media multitaskers were identified through the media use questionnaire.Using a dual-task paradigm and e-vent-related potential technique,the two groups' accuracy,response time,and the amplitudes of frontal positive components reflecting strategy monitoring were compared across the early,middle,and late stages of the prospective memory test.Results:Heavy media multitaskers exhibited significantly faster response times compared to light media multitaskers(P＜0.001),with no statistical difference in accuracy(P＞0.05).Moreover,the amplitude of frontal positive components in heavy media multitaskers was greater than that in light media multitaskers(P＜0.05)across all three stages,and the amplitude increased gradually with the passing of time in heavy media multi-taskers(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Heavy media multitaskers tend to allocate more cognitive resources to strategic mo-nitoring over time,while light media multitaskers maintain a relatively consistent level of strategic monitoring.
