Objective:To investigate the application effects of learning pyramid theory combined with constructivism in the standardized training of nurses in the department of gastroenterology.Methods:We randomly divided 104 gastroenterology nurses who received standardized training from October 2021 to October 2023 into observation group and control group, with 52 nurses in each group. The control group received conventional teaching, while the observation group received a combination of learning pyramid theory and constructivist teaching. The two groups were compared in terms of theoretical and practical scores, core competencies, self-learning abilities, and professional values scores before and after training. SPSS 23.0 was used to perform the t-test. Results:After training, the two groups showed improvements in all the tests; and the scores were all significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group: theoretical knowledge [(88.61±15.62) vs. (81.76±14.27)], skill practice [(82.91±15.17) vs. (76.40±13.82)], Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses scale score [(157.83±21.73) vs. (125.40±15.77)], self-learning ability score [(123.38±21.62) vs. (97.43±15.23)], and Nurse Professional Values scale score [(89.15±14.63) vs. (78.52±12.84)].Conclusions:The teaching model of learning pyramid theory and constructivism theory can enhance standardized training effectiveness for gastroenterology nurses.

Heatstroke,especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments,is a life-threatening acute heat-injury disease that seriously endangers human health.Timely and effective on-site treatment is crucial for patients'survival and prognosis.Early recognition,rapid assessment,and on-site cooling are the core of pre-hospital treatment of heatstroke.Currently,there is a lack of standardized application procedures for pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke.Therefore,the"Expert Consensus on Pre-hospital Emergency Management of Heatstroke(2024 edition)"was initiated by the Expert Group on Heatstroke Prevention of the People's Liberation Army and developed in collaboration with experts from local pre-hospital emergency care,emergency departments,and intensive care units.This consensus focuses on heatstroke prevention,on-site and ambulance-based treatment,and early emergency room interventions,and puts forward 10 evidence-based recommendations,aiming to provide a reference for scientific and standardized pre-hospital emergency care of heatstroke.

AIM:To optimize the clinical dosage and administration regimen of a novel long-acting injectable aripiprazole microsphere(LZMT05)using plasma concentration data from two clinical trials.METHODS:Plasma concentrations were collected from 196 schizophrenia patients administered LZMT05,and a population pharmacokinetic(Pop-PK)model was developed.The therapeutic window was defined as the steady-state trough-to-peak concentration range(94.0-534 ng/mL)of oral ar-ipiprazole.Multiple clinical scenarios were simulat-ed to identify the optimal regimen.RESULTS:A one-compartment model with dual first-order ab-sorption and first-order elimination characterized LZMT05 pharmacokinetics.Covariates like sex and CYP2D6 genotype were integrated into the final model.Simulations demonstrated that switching from 10 mg oral aripiprazole to 350 mg LZMT05 ev-ery 4 weeks sustained concentrations within the therapeutic window with minimal peak-to-trough fluctuations.CONCLUSION:The PopPK-guided opti-mized LZMT05 regimen maintained drug exposure within the therapeutic window,suggesting favor-able efficacy and safety.

Objective:To explore the application effects of the blended teaching methodology of "teaching-selection-investigation-analysis-presentation-discussion" in Medical Immunology. Methods:Eight-year program clinical medical students who were enrolled at Peking Union Medical College in 2016, 2017, and 2018 were selected as the research subjects. An anonymous questionnaire survey was used to analyze students' multidimensional evaluations of the new teaching methodology. The percentage of frontier hotspot topics in the "Immunology Forum" was used to analyze the students' mastery of cutting-edge knowledge in immunology. The number of "Immunology Forum" related "College Students Innovative Training Plan Program" from 2020 to 2023 was used to analyze the effectiveness of this new teaching method in cultivating students' scientific research and innovation abilities. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 software, and the normality of all continuous variables was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test.Results:The questionnaire survey showed 100.00% satisfaction with the course and 95.90% recognition of the new teaching method. More than 90% of students agreed that the new teaching method improved their learning ability, research ability, innovation ability, internal drive, and academic communication ability. The average proportion of hotspot topics in the "Immunology Forum" was 90.37%±7.12%, which was significantly higher than the proportion of non-hotspot topics (5.67%±3.12%). The average number of topics related to "Immunology Forum" in the "College Students Innovative Training Plan Program" was 17.67±1.15 per session, which was significantly higher than the number of topics not related to "Immunology Forum" (8.00±1.73).Conclusions:The blended teaching methodology of "teaching-selection-investigation-analysis-presentation-discussion" can help students timely grasp the cutting-edge knowledge of immunology, cultivate their learning ability, internal drive, academic communication ability, innovation ability, and research ability, and lay a foundation for students to further explore their scientific research and innovation activities.

BACKGROUND:Epidemiologic investigations and some experiments have shown that there is a close relationship between peripheral blood cells and osteoporosis,but the causal relationship between the two at the genetic level is still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the causal relationship between peripheral blood cells and osteoporosis using Mendelian randomization methods. METHODS:Genome-wide association study data sets on peripheral blood cells,overall bone density at different ages,and calcaneal bone density were obtained from databases such as Blood Cell Consortium and MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit. Blood cells were used as exposure data,with bone density at different ages and calcaneal bone density serving as outcome data. Mendelian randomization analyses were performed using methods such as inverse variance weighting,MR-Egger,weighted median method,and simple median. The results were assessed for heterogeneity,pleiotropy,and sensitivity using Cochran's Q,MR-Egger regression,and Leave-one-out method. The causal relationship between exposure and outcomes was evaluated using β values. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Due to the heterogeneity revealed by Cochran's Q test in the Mendelian randomization results,the results of the study were based on the inverse variance weighting method. The inverse variance weighting results showed that when age-specific bone density was used as an outcome,there was a negative causal relationship between white blood cell count and whole-body bone mineral density at the age of 45-60 years[β=-0.07,95％ confidence interval (CI):-0.13,-0.01,P=0.02],a positive causal relationship between monocyte count and whole-body bone mineral density at the age of 45-60 years (β=0.05,95％ CI:0.00,0.10,P=0.037),a negative causal relationship between white blood cell and basophil counts and whole-body bone mineral density over 60 years old (β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.01,P=0.005;β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.00,P=0.038),a positive causal relationship between hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit and whole-body bone mineral density over 60 years old (β=0.04,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.012;β=0.04,95％ CI:0.00,0.07,P=0.039),and a negative causal relationship between white cell count and whole-body bone mineral density at an undistinguished age (β=-0.10,95％ CI:-0.16,-0.03,P=0.002). When heel bone mineral density was used as an outcome,there was a negative causal relationship between white cell count and heel bone mineral density (β=-0.04,95％ CI:-0.07,-0.01,P=0.016),and a positive causal relationship between hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit and heel bone mineral density (β=0.05,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.007;β=0.05,95％ CI:0.01,0.08,P=0.004). To ensure the robustness of the results,meta-analyses of Mendelian randomization results of peripheral blood cells and whole-body bone mineral density as well as heel bone mineral density in different age groups were conducted. The results suggested that for every standard deviation decrease in log-transformed white blood cell count,there was a 5％ reduction in the risk of decreased bone mineral density (OR=0.95,95％ CI:0.94,0.97,P<0.001);whereas for every standard deviation increase in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit,there was a 4％ reduction in the risk of decreased bone density (OR=1.04,95％ CI:1.03,1.06,P<0.001). In conclusion,increased white blood cell count in peripheral blood is a risk factor for bone mineral density;whereas increased hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration are protective factors for bone mineral density.

Aim To compare the observation results of atomic force microscopy(AFM)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and to summarize the main problems and solutions of AFM in observing biological macromolecules,using the observa-tion subjects of protein samples purified by our research group.Methods The protein samples were diluted to 15 nmol·L-1 with PBS,fixed on glass slides,silicon wafers,and mica sheets,dried,and made into solid-phase observation samples.SEM sam-ples were plated with platinum before observation.The surface structures of proteins were observed using AFM and SEM,sample heights were calculated,and differences in results were com-pared.Results Protein samples with positive charges tended to shift to the right during observation due to the repulsion of the AFM probe;mica sheets could effectively eliminate the positive charge of proteins to avoid sample movement;PBS provided a stable environment for protein samples,but the crystallization of PBS salts interfered with probe operation and imaging clarity;SEM samples needed to be plated with platinum before observa-tion and could not achieve the precision of AFM.Conclusions Both AFM and SEM can directly observe protein structures in vitro,with AFM providing higher precision results;when protein sample stability permits,ultrapure water is preferred as the sol-vent carrier,and volatile liquids such as ethanol can also serve as solvent carriers.The application of AFM offers a new approach for pharmacological studies on interactions between biological macromolecules.

Objective:To observe the early efficacy of intense pulsed light(IPL)combined with non-ablative fractional laser(NAFL)in preventing postoperative pathological scar formation and intervention of inflammatory factors.Methods:93 patients with postoperative pathological scar formation who were admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to September 2024 were selected,they were divided into control group A(silicone gel treatment,n=31),control group B(NAFL on the basis of control group A,n=31)and study group(IPL on the basis of control group B,n=31)using the random number table method.The clinical efficacy,simple quality of life scale(SF-36),vancouver scar scale(VSS),inflammatory factors[interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP)],and adverse reactions among three groups were compared.Results:The clinical total effective rate in the study group were higher than those in the control group A and control group B(P＜0.05).SF-36 increased sequentially and VSS decreased sequentially in control group A,control group B,and study group after treatment(P＜0.05).CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α decreased sequentially in control group A,control group B,and study group after treatment(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:IPL combined with NAFL in preventing postoperative pathological scar formation,can effectively reduce scar formation,reduce inflammatory factors levels,improve patients' quality of life,and be safe and reliable.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which the ethanol extract of Epimedium brevicornu （EEBM） intervenes in mesenchymal adipose-derived stem cells （ADSCs） to delay aging in castrated rats. MethodsForty-five 3-month-old SPF female SD rats were ovariectomized and randomly divided into model group， ADSCs treatment group， and ADSCs groups treated with low， medium， and high concentrations of EEBM （1， 50， 100 μg·L^-1）， referred to as the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups， with 9 rats in each group. After tail vein injection of 200 μL of the corresponding stem cell suspension， aging-related indicators including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor （p21）， tumor suppressor gene （p53）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3 （Caspase-3）， and lipofuscin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the model group， the IL-6 content in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Lipofuscin， MDA， and IL-8 levels in the ADSCs treatment group and AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， while SOD content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the ADSCs treatment group， lipofuscin and IL-8 levels in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The MDA content was significantly decreased in the AE medium concentration group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， protein levels of p21， p53， Bax， and Caspase-3 in the ADSCs treatment group and AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the Bcl-2 protein level was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the ADSCs treatment group， protein levels of p21， p53， Bax， and Caspase-3 in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the Bcl-2 protein level in the AE low concentration group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe results of this experiment show that EEBM-treated ADSCs or ADSCs may delay aging in castrated rats by inhibiting cell apoptosis， reducing cell cycle inhibitors and pro-inflammatory factors， enhancing antioxidant capacity， and reducing oxidative reactions. Moreover， EEBM-treated ADSCs demonstrate stronger anti-aging effects than ADSCs alone. This study provides experimental evidence supporting the clinical use of EEBM to intervene in ADSCs and delay aging.
