The red doctor spirit is a precious spiritual wealth formed in the great practice of the Chinese Communist Party leading the Chinese revolution and creating and developing people’s health undertakings. It is also an important cultural resource for nurturing medical students’ professional identity. The red doctor spirit provides cognitive resources and spiritual guidance for the formation of medical students’ professional identity， prompting medical students to form emotional identity， value identity， and behavioral identity with the profession of doctor， there by enabling medical students to more clearly understand their own missions and development goals， enhance their confidence in engaging in medical and health work， and strengthen their beliefs in working hard for the construction of a healthy China. In practice， to further enhance the leading power of the red doctor spirit in the formation of medical students’ professional identity， it is essential to deepen classroom teaching of the red doctor spirit to provide theoretical guidance； to strengthen the clinical practice of the red doctor spirit to provide practical guidance； and to foster a campus cultural atmosphere infused with the red doctor spirit ， enabling medical students to naturally develop a sense of identification with the medical profession through immersive cultural influence.

This study used the natural flavonoid compound silybin as the parent compound and synthesized 16 silybin derivatives through oxidative dehydrogenation, alkylation, selective demethylation, and acylation. The structures of these derivatives were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS. All derivatives were found to be new compounds never reported in previous literature. Using gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 and human glioblastoma cell line LN-229, the in vitro anti-tumor activity of the novel silybin derivative was determined through MTT assay with lapatinib as the positive control. The experimental results indicate that the synthesized novel silybin derivatives have a certain degree of anti-proliferative effect on two types of cancer cells, with compounds I2 and I14 showing strong anti-proliferative activity against LN-229 and SGC-7901 cells.

Objective To evaluate the influence of the wearing position of dosimeters outside lead aprons on effective dose estimation for interventional radiology workers, analyze the differences between single and double dosimeter methods in effective dose estimation, and provide a reference for the personal dose monitoring of interventional radiology workers. Methods This study employed a combined approach of on-site monitoring and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the impact of the wearing position of dosimeters outside lead aprons on effective dose estimation, as well as the differences between effective doses measured using single and double dosimeters. Interventional radiology workers wore dosimeters at three positions: the neck outside the lead collar, the left chest outside the lead apron, and inside the lead apron. Effective doses were estimated using the single and double dosimeter methods specified in GBZ 128-2019 Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational external exposure, and the impact of different wearing positions on the estimation results was compared. Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations were used to model dose distributions at the neck outside the lead collar and at the left chest outside the lead apron for operators performing cardiovascular interventions under tube voltages of 70, 80, 90, and 100 kVp and exposure angles of posteroanterior (PA), anteroposterior (AP), and left anterior oblique 45° (LAO45°) positions. The study assessed the impact of dosimeter wearing position on effective dose estimation. Results Monte Carlo simulations demonstrated that neck doses consistently exceeded left chest doses across different tube voltages and exposure angles, with neck-to-chest dose ratios of 0.80-0.90. Under identical tube voltage conditions, AP showed the highest doses, followed by LAO45°, and PA demonstrated the lowest doses. The single and double dosimeter methods exhibited consistent patterns in effective dose estimation. Single dosimeter method generally yielded higher effective doses with relative deviations of 9.9% to 83%, though these deviations decreased under high tube voltages. Field monitoring data indicated that most interventional radiology workers maintained relative deviations between single and double dosimeter calculations below 6%, with neck-to-chest dose ratios of 0.95-1.1. The estimation patterns remained consistent across both methods, though single dosimeter method showed slightly higher results. Conclusion Under PA, AP, or LAO45°, the doses at the neck consistently exceeded those at the left chest. Therefore, when wearing lead protective equipment, the dosimeter should be properly positioned at the neck outside the lead collar to accurately reflect the radiation doses of surgeons. Some interventional radiology workers improperly positioned the dosimeter (intended at the neck outside the lead collar) at the left chest outside the lead apron, and this may result in an underestimation of the effective dose.

OBJECTIVES: To propose a single repetition time (TR) quantitative magnetic susceptibility imaging method for the lumbar spine using bipolar readout gradient, and compare the quantitative magnetic susceptibility measurement using single TR and dual TR methods for the lumbar spine with different bone densities. METHODS: A translation correction method was proposed to correct spatial misalignment along the frequency encoding direction between positive and negative gradient readout images, and the phase difference between the images was eliminated using a phase correction method. The data of lumbar vertebrae L1-L5 were collected using single TR and dual TR methods from 6 normal individuals, 2 patients with osteopenia, and 2 patients with osteoporosis. The magnetic susceptibility map was reconstructed, the quantitative results of single TR before and after correction were compared with those of the dual TR method. RESULTS: The linear regression result of the lumbar spine magnetic susceptibility values obtained by the single TR method before calibration and the dual TR method is Y=0.64*X-11.61. The linear regression result of the lumbar spine magnetic susceptibility values corrected by the single TR method and the dual TR method is Y=1.03*X+0.25. The results of the corrected single TR method were highly consistent with those of the dual TR method, and the calibrated single TR method could effectively distinguish osteopenia and osteoporosis patients from normal individuals. CONCLUSIONS The calibrated single TR bipolar readout gradient method can generate artifact-free lumbar spine quantitative magnetic susceptibility distribution maps and reduce data acquisition time by 50%.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous colistin sulfate combined with nebulized inhalation versus intravenous monotherapy for pulmonary infections caused by carbapenem-resistant organism (CRO). METHODS: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were collected from patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of 10 tertiary class-A hospitals in Henan Province between July 2021 and May 2023, who received colistin sulfate for CRO pulmonary infections. Data included baseline characteristics, inflammatory markers [white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)], renal function indicators [serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN)], life support measures, anti-infection regimens, clinical efficacy, microbiological clearance rate, and prognostic outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups: intravenous group (colistin sulfate monotherapy via intravenous infusion) and combination group ((intravenous infusion combined with nebulized inhalation of colistin sulfate). Changes in parameters before and after treatment were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients with CRO pulmonary infections were enrolled, including 89 in the intravenous group and 48 in the combination group. Baseline characteristics, life support measures, daily colistin dose, and combination regimens (most commonly colistin sulfate plus carbapenems in both groups) showed no significant differences between two groups. The combination group exhibited higher clinical efficacy [77.1% (37/48) vs. 59.6% (52/89)] and microbiological clearance rate [60.4% (29/48) vs. 39.3% (35/89)], both P < 0.05. Pre-treatment inflammatory and renal parameters showed no significant differences between two groups. Post-treatment, the combination group showed significantly lower WBC and CRP [WBC (×10⁹/L): 8.2±0.5 vs. 10.9±0.6, CRP (mg/L): 14.0 (5.7, 26.6) vs. 52.1 (24.4, 109.6), both P < 0.05], whereas NEU, PCT, SCr, and BUN levels showed no significant between two groups. ICU length of stay was shorter in the combination group [days: 16 (10, 25) vs. 21 (14, 29), P < 0.05], although mechanical ventilation duration and total hospitalization showed no significant differences between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous colistin sulfate combined with nebulized inhalation improved clinical efficacy and microbiological clearance in CRO pulmonary infections with an acceptable safety profile.

Picea mongolica, known for its remarkable tolerance to cold, drought, and salinity, is a key species for ecological restoration and urban greening in the "Three Norths" region of China. MYB transcription factors are involved in plant responses to abiotic stress and synthesis of secondary metabolites. However, studies are limited regarding the MYB transcription factors in P. mongolica and their roles in salt stress tolerance. In this study, 196 MYBs were identified based on the genome of Picea abies and the transcriptome of P. mongolica. Phylogenetic analysis classified the MYB transcription factors into seven subclasses. The R2R3-MYB subclass contained the maximum number of genes (84.77%), while the R-R and R1R2R3 subclasses each represented the smallest proportion, at about 0.51%. The MYB transcription factors within the same subclass were highly conserved, exhibiting similar motifs and gene structures. Experiments with varying salt stress gradients revealed that P. mongolica could tolerate the salt concentration up to 1 000 mmol/L. From the transcriptome data of P. mongolica exposed to salt stress (1 000 mmol/L) for 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h, a total of 34 differentially expressed MYBs were identified, which suggested that these MYBs played a key role in regulating the response to salt stress. The proteins encoded by these differentially expressed genes varied in length from 89 aa to 731 aa, with molecular weights ranging from 10.19 kDa to 79.73 kDa, isoelectric points between 4.80 and 9.91, and instability coefficients from 41.20 to 70.99. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that most proteins were localized in the nucleus, while three were found in the chloroplasts. Twelve MYBs were selected for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), which showed that their expression patterns were consistent with the RNA-seq data. This study provides valuable data for further investigation into the functions and mechanisms of MYB family members in response to salt stress in P. mongolica.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea(PD)by mild moxibustion on"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"acupoints based on the regulation of cAMP-PKA signaling pathway on TRPV1.Methods Totally 32 female non-pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group,with 8 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the other groups all used estradiol benzoate intraperitoneal injection combined with ice water bath to establish a PD cold-dampness stagnation syndrome rat model.Intervention began on the first day of modeling,the mild moxibustion group selects"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"for mild moxibustion,20 min per time,the capsazepine group was injected capsazepine 2 mg/kg,once a day for 10 consecutive days.ELISA was used to detect uterine PGF2α and cAMP content,immunofluorescence staining was used to detect TRPV1 expression in uterine tissue,Western blot was used to detect PKA,p-PKA and TRPV1 protein expression.Results Compared with the blank group,the latency period of body twisting in the model group rats decreased,and the body twisting score increased(P<0.01);the contents of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue increased(P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 and p-PKA proteins increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group showed an increase in the latency period of body twisting and a decrease in the body twisting score(P<0.01);the content of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue decreased(P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 and p-PKA proteins decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with the mild moxibustion group,the capsazepine group showed an increase in the latency period of body twisting and a decrease in the body twisting score(P<0.01);the contents of PGF2α and cAMP in uterine tissue decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the expressions of TRPV1 protein decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Mild moxibustion at"Shenque"and"Guanyuan"acupoints has obvious analgesic effect on PD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of uterine cAMP-PKA signaling pathway mediated TRPV1 protein expression.

Objective:To examine whether immunohistochemistry of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) and p16 could be used to predict the CDKN2A status in various brain tumors.Methods:A total of 118 cases of IDH-mutant astrocytomas, 16 IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, 17 polymorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) and 20 meningiomas diagnosed at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China from November 2017 to October 2023 were collected and analyzed. The CDKN2A status was detected by using fluorescence in situ hybridization or next-generation sequencing. Expression of MTAP and p16 proteins was detected with immunohistochemistry. The association of loss of MTAP/p16 expression with CDKN2A homozygous/heterozygous deletion was examined.Results:Among the 118 cases of IDH-mutant astrocytoma, 13 cases showed homozygous deletion of CDKN2A. All of them had no expression of MTAP while 9 cases had no expression of p16. Among the 16 cases of IDH wild-type glioblastoma, 6 cases showed homozygous deletion of CDKN2A. All 6 cases had no expression of MTAP, while 3 of these cases had no expression of p16 expression. Among the 17 PXA cases, 4 cases showed homozygous deletion of CDKN2A, and the expression of MTAP and p16 was also absent in these 4 cases. Among the 20 cases of meningiomas, 4 cases showed homozygous deletion of CDKN2A. Their expression of MTAP and p16 was also absent. Among the four types of brain tumors, MTAP was significantly correlated with CDKN2A homozygous deletion ( P<0.05), with a sensitivity of 100%. However, it was only significantly correlated with the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of CDKN2A in astrocytomas ( P<0.001). P16 was associated with CDKN2A homozygous deletion in IDH-mutant astrocytoma and PXA ( P<0.001), but not with the LOH of CDKN2A. Its sensitivity and specificity were lower than that of MTAP. Conclusions:MTAP could serve as a predictive surrogate for CDKN2A homozygous deletion in adult IDH-mutant astrocytoma, PXA, adult IDH-wildtype glioblastoma and meningioma. However, p16 could only be used in the first two tumor types, and its specificity and sensitivity are lower than that of MTAP.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum Asprosin,macrophage inflammatory protein-1 β(MIP-1 β)levels and bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)combined with osteoporosis.Methods A tatal of 172 patients with T2DM attending Chengde City Central Hospital from April 2022 to April 2023 were selected for the study,and they were divided into T2DM group(n=103)and T2DM combined with osteoporosis group(n=69)according to the results of bone mineral density.Serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β levels were measured by ELISA.Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum Asprosin,MIP-1 β expression levels and bone mineral density.Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting T2DM combined with osteoporosis,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β level on T2DM combined with osteoporosis.Results Compared with the T2DM group,patients in the T2DM combined with osteoporosis group had higher levels of serum β-CTX(0.48±0.08ng/ml vs 0.42±0.04ng/ml),Asprosin(2.26±0.56ng/ml vs 1.65±0.36ng/ml)and MIP-1 β(26.01±6.43pg/ml vs 19.46±4.27pg/ml),while BMD(0.67±0.13g/cm2 vs 0.84±0.17g/cm2),BGP(8.33±1.23ng/ml vs 9.54±1.42ng/ml)and T-P1NP(30.38±3.27ng/ml vs 32.49±3.29ng/ml)levels were decreased,with statistically significant differences(t=6.501,8.699,8.032,7.039,5.773,4.133,all P＜0.05).Pearson method analysis showed that serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β levels were negatively correlated with bone mineral density of patients in the T2DM combined with osteoporosis group(r=-0.484,-0.498,all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that serum Asprosin and MIP-1 βlevels were independent risk factors influencing the occurrence of T2DM combined with osteoporosis(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUCs of serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β levels predicted T2DM combined osteoporosis were 0.768 and 0.704,respectively,and the AUC of both combined prediction was 0.859,which was better than the two alone(Z=1.812,2.895,all P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β levels are elevated in patients with T2DM combined with osteoporosis,and both are closely related to bone mineral density.Serum Asprosin and MIP-1 β are independent risk factors for the development of T2DM combined with osteoporosis,and the joint detection of the two tests may have high predictive value for the development of the disease.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of different interventions in post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with kinesiophobia using network Meta-analysis.Methods:Computerized search of randomized controlled trials and quasi-experiment related to kinesiophobia interventions for post-PCI patients in WanFang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine, VIP database, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase was conducted with a time frame of searching from the establishment of the library to August 3, 2023. Literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation were carried out independently by two researchers. Network Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results:A total of 13 literatures were included, including 9 randomized controlled trials and 4 quasi-experiments.Network Meta-analysis showed that cognitive behavioral therapy ( SMD = -4.08, 95% CI -6.49 --1.67), cognitive behavioral therapy combined with cardiac rehabilitation ( SMD = - 3.02, 95% CI -5.43 -- 0.61), dual heart medical intervention ( SMD = - 2.48, 95% , - 4.87 - - 0.09) can reduce the level of exercise fear in patients after PCI, and the difference were statistically significant compared with routine nursing (all P< 0.05). Ranked probability plots showed that the effects of the nine interventions in reducing kinesiophobia in post-PCI patients were cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy combined with cardiac rehabilitation, adaptive leadership theory-based intervention, dual heart medical intervention, COX health behavior interaction model, health education based on the behavioral change wheel, graded exposure therapy, mindfulness intervention, and high-intensity interval training in descending order of effectiveness. Conclusions:Cognitive behavioral therapy was the most effective intervention for kinesiophobia in post-PCI patients, but more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to further verify this conclusion.
