Objective:To investigate the effects of the "TECK" (theoretical class, experimental course, case discussion, and knowledge reinforcement) teaching model oriented by post competency in clinical pathology internship teaching.Methods:The intern students from 2015 to 2019 in the pathology direction of clinical medicine in the School of Pathology, Qiqihar Medical College, who were enrolled in the internship from 2019 to 2023, were selected as the research objects.We enrolled 32 medical students from grades 2017, 2018, and 2019 (research group) and 24 medical students from grades 2015 and 2016 (control group) who would participate in pathology internships. The control group adopted the traditional internship mode, while the research group adopted the competency-oriented "TECK" teaching mode. After the internship, the two groups were compared for internship assessment score and surveyed for post competency. With the use of SPSS 18.0 statistical software. Continuous data were presented as (mean±standard deviation) and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were expressed in the number of cases, and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups.The significance level α was 0.05. Results:The research group showed significantly higher scores of skill assessment (82.81±4.20 vs. 79.58±5.09) and pathological diagnosis assessment (80.28±4.23 vs. 76.21±4.58) than the control group (both P<0.05), with no significant difference in the score of theoretical knowledge ( P>0.05). In terms of post competency, the research group was superior to the control group in clinical skills and medical care ability (12.38±0.94 vs. 11.35±0.76), disease prevention and health promotion ability (6.28±0.92 vs. 4.48±0.93), interpersonal communication and information management ability (19.81±1.09 vs. 17.00±1.28), and teamwork and scientific research ability (11.44±1.27 vs. 9.25±0.87; all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in core values and professional literacy and medical knowledge and lifelong learning (both P>0.05). Conclusions:In undergraduate internships, the competency-oriented "TECK"teaching mode can significantly improve students' clinical operation and pathological diagnosis ability, and effectively cultivate their abilities of clinical skills and medical care, disease prevention and health promotion, interpersonal communication and information management, teamwork and scientific research.

Purpose: To intelligently diagnose whether there is bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in female with decent detrusor contraction ability by focusing on urodynamic study (UDS) data. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the UDS data of female patients during urination. Eleven easily accessible urinary flow indicators were calculated according to the UDS data of each patient during voiding period. Eight diagnosis models based on back propagation neural network with different input feature combination were constructed by analyzing the correlations between indicators and lower urinary tract dysfunction labels. Subsequently, the stability of diagnostic models was evaluated by five-fold cross-validation based on training data, while the performance was compared on test dataset. Results: UDS data from 134 female patients with a median age of 51 years (range, 27–78 years) were selected for our study.Among them, 66 patients suffered BOO and the remaining were normal. Applying the 5-fold cross-validation method, the model with the best performance achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.949±0.060 using 9 UDS input features. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for BOO diagnosis model in the testing process are 94.4%, 100%, and 89.3%, respectively. Conclusions The 9 significant indicators in UDS were employed to construct a diagnostic model of female BOO based on machine learning algorithm, which performs preferable classification accuracy and stability.

A major challenge facing photodynamic therapy (PDT) is that the activity of the immune-induced infiltrating CD8⁺ T cells is subject to the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs), leaving the tumor at risk of recurrence and metastasis after the initial ablation. To augment the antitumor response and reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), a supramolecular photodynamic nanoparticle (DACss) is constructed by the host-guest interaction between demethylcantharidin-conjugated β-cyclodextrin (DMC-CD) and amantadine-terminated disulfide-conjugated FFVLGGGC peptide with chlorin e6 decoration (Ad-ss-pep-Ce6) to achieve intelligent delivery of photosensitizer and immunomodulator for breast cancer treatment. The acid-labile β-carboxamide bond of DMC-CD is hydrolyzed in response to the acidic TME, resulting in the localized release of DMC and subsequent inhibition of Tregs. The guest molecule Ad-ss-pep-Ce6 can be cleaved by a high level of intracellular GSH, reducing photosensitizer toxicity and increasing photosensitizer retention in the tumor. With a significant increase in the CTL/Treg ratio, the combination of Ce6-based PDT and DMC-mediated immunomodulation adequately achieved spatiotemporal regulation and remodeling of the TME, as well as improved primary tumor and in situ lung metastasis suppression with the aid of PD-1 antibody.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most common malignancies with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide.With the advances in molecular biology and tumor immunology,molecular-targeted agents represented by tyrosine kinase inhibitors(such as sorafenib and lenvatinib)and immunotherapy represented by PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies have brought hope for patients with advanced HCC.The combination of immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy can further improve the treatment outcome of patients.In addition,the optimization and integration of stereotactic body radiotherapy,local treatment,and systemic treatment may maximize the benefits of patients.In the future,through a deep understanding of the heterogeneity of HCC,the development of precision molecular subtyping and individualized treatment,and the establishment of a multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment system,systemic therapy is expected to achieve long-term management of advanced HCC.This article reviews the current status and advances in systemic therapy for advanced HCC.

Objective To explore the solvent effect on the chromatographic retention performance by RP-HPLC in traditional Chinese medicine analysis.Methods Five traditional Chinese medicines were selected to determin by HPLC according to the requirements of each medicinal content determination item in Chinese pharmacopoeia(Vol.Ⅰ,2020),they were gentiopicroside-Radix gentianae,syringin-Acanthopanax enticosus,rosin diglucoside-Eucommia ulmoides,aesculin-Fraxinus Cortex,and adenosine-Cordyceps sinensis respectively.The effect of sample solvent in RP-HPLC was explored preliminarily on the chromatographic peak abnormalities and some solutions were proposed.Results The abnormal chromatographic retention behavior of the five traditional Chinese medicine components were characterized by retention time drift,peak broadening,extending and splitting,the fundamental reason for the above abnormal phenomenons was that there was a certain mismatch between the sample solvent and the mobile phase,leading to different existing forms of the sample between the sample solvent and the mobile phase(Solvent Effect).The results showed that the mobile phase or similar to mobile phase solution was a preferred method to reduce and eliminate solvent effect.In addition,reducing the injection volume or using the solvent effect eliminator can also be used as auxiliary means.Conclusion Solvent effect can cause abnormal peak shape,and had an influence on the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative results,it should be taken seriously in daily Chinese medicine analysis work.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum albumin and hypoalbuminemia (HA) and the outcome after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) in patients with stroke caused by acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion.Methods:Stroke patients caused by acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion received EMT treatment at the Department of Emergency Stroke, the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from June 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively included. The demographic information, baseline clinical data, endovascular treatment parameters, and clinical outcomes of the patients were collected. HA was defined as serum albumin <35 g/L within 24 h of admission, and poor outcome was defined as the modified Rankin Scale score >2 at 90 d after onset. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent influencing factors for poor outcomes. Results:A total of 177 patients were included, with a median age of 66 years, and 126 (71.19%) were males. Thirty-nine patients (22.03%) had HA, and 119 (67.23%) had poor outcomes. The proportion of pulmonary infection in the HA group was significantly higher than that in the non-HA group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lower serum albumin (odds ratio [ OR] 4.102, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.316-16.451; P=0.028), postprocedural neurological deterioration ( OR 6.326, 95% CI 1.263-48.318; P=0.042) and pulmonary infection ( OR 5.873, 95% CI 1.028-24.452; P=0.018) were significantly independently associated with the poor outcomes. Conclusions:The HA group has a higher incidence of postprocedural pulmonary infection. Lower serum albumin, postprocedural neurological deterioration and pulmonary infection are the independent risk factors for the poor outcomes in patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke who had successful recanalization after EMT.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of mismatch of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in evaluating ischemic penumbra (IP) in patients with wake-up stroke.Methods:A prospective study was performed; 96 patients with wake-up stroke and unilateral middle cerebral artery territory infarction admitted to Emergency Stroke Department, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from September 2020 to January 2023 were chosen. All patients underwent routine MRI, DWI, APTw imaging and 3D arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) before treatment and 90 d after treatment. IP presence was defined as changes of abnormal signal on T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) 90 d after treatment greater than 20% of high signal range on DWI before treatment, and it was used as the gold standard to compare the efficacy in evaluating whether the patients had IP based on mismatch of 3D-ASLwith DWI and mismatch of APTw imaging with DWI before treatment. The infarct core (IC) region, mismatch region of APTw imaging with DWI, mismatch region of 3D-ASL with APTw imaging were delineated on the fusion images in patients with IP based on mismatch of 3D-ASLwith DWI and mismatch of APTw with DWI, and the differences of APTw values in different regions were compared.Results:According to the 90-d follow-up results, 50 patients had IP and 46 patients did not have IP. Specificity, accuracy and sensitivity evaluating whether the patients had IP based on mismatch of 3D-ASL with DWI were 86.9%, 93.7% and 100.0%, respectively; specificity, accuracy and sensitivity evaluating whether the patients had IP based on mismatch of APTw imaging with DWI were 100.0%, 95.8% and 92.0%, respectively. The APTw max, APTw min and APTw ave values of the IC region were significantly lower than those of mismatch region of APTw with DWI, and the APTw max-min values of mismatch region of APTw imaging with DWI were significantly higher than those of mismatch region of 3D-ASL with APTw imaging ( P<0.05). Conclusion:APTw imaging can reflect the acidosis status of different brain regions in patients with wake-up stroke; specificity and accuracy evaluating whether the patients have IP based on mismatch of APTw imaging with DWI are higher than those based on mismatch of 3D-ASL with DWI.

OBJECTIVE To explore the pricing methods of multi-indication drugs suitable for China from the economic perspective. METHODS By sorting out the situation and pricing methods of multi-indication drugs in China’s health insurance negotiation in recent years， the experience of typical countries （Sweden， Germany， Britain， Italy， etc.） in the value measurement， access and management of multi-indication drugs were explored with 3 methods， namely， branded pricing， weighted average bidding pricing， and single bidding pricing under the risk sharing agreement. The advantages and disadvantages of the 2 types of multi-indication drug pricing methods， such as single bidding pricing and indication-based pricing， and conditions of use were explored， so as to put forward a pricing method suitable for multi-indication drugs in China. RESULTS＆＆CONCLUSIONS The pricing of multi-indication drugs by single bidding pricing mode has certain disadvantages at this stage， and should be supplemented and improved by agreement pricing. Based on international experience， China can explore a reasonable management mode of drug indications， adopt a pricing mode with agreement pricing as the main mode and multiple pricing modes as the coexisting mode， and promote the development of pharmacoeconomic evaluation and the improvement of drug use information collection mechanism.

ObjectiveTo compare the retest reliability and discriminant validity of dynamic postural stability indices for functional ankle instability (FAI) obtained by different algorithms based on acceleration signals at different positions of human body. MethodsFrom April to June, 2021, 21 subjects with unilateral FAI and 21 subjects with normal ankle were recruited. Three inertial sensors were attached to the waist points, knee and ankle positions. The ground reaction force (GRF) and kinematics data of the subjects in multi-direction single leg landing test were collected synchronously by 3D force plate and inertial sensors. The unbounded third order polynomial (UTOP) fitting method was used to calculate the stability time, and the root mean square was used to caculate the stability index. ResultsMost of the indicators calculated based on acceleration signal correlated with that based on GRF with low coefficient (|r| = 0.116 to 0.368, P < 0.05). The stability time and stability index based on the acceleration signals of different positions of human body showed low to high retest reliability (CMC 0.30 to 0.91). For the females, among the stability time based on acceleration signal, eleven indexes achieved average to very high discriminant validity (AUC = 0.702 to 0.942, P < 0.05); eight of the stability indexes reached general level of discriminant validity (AUC = 0.717 to 0.782, P < 0.05). No algorithms achieved good discriminant effect in male subjects. ConclusionBased on the acceleration signal of waist point in single-leg landing stability test, the stability time calculated by UTOP algorithm can evaluate the dynamic postural stability of female FAI patients with high discriminant validity and medium to high retest reliability.
