The traditional teaching model centered on courses has disadvantages such as interdisciplinary barriers, repetitive learning of content, and students being unable to enter clinical practice early. The Human Body Overview I is a core course at the basic stage under the integrated curriculum system centered on "organ-systems" at Chongqing Medical University. The course deeply integrates interdisciplinary resources and reconstructs the contents of systematic anatomy, embryology, and physiology under the traditional teaching model. The "Three in One" curriculum ideology and politics are implemented to assist students in their comprehensive development. By strengthening the cultivation of clinical application abilities and empowering with virtual simulation technology, the teaching effectiveness and quality have been improved. The teaching practice of the Human Body Overview I suggests that the teaching reform of integrated curriculum at the basic stage has broken interdisciplinary barriers, avoided repetitive learning of contents, and promoted the cultivation of students' interdisciplinary integration ability and clinical application ability. It can provide a reference for the teaching reform of integrated curriculum for other colleges.

Objective:To investigate the influence of cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) gene polymorphisms on liver function injury in patients with hyperthyroidism treated with methimazole.Methods:The study selected 90 patients with hyperthyroidism who were treated with methimazole in the Department of Thyroid Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Sept. 2023 to Aug. 2024 as the research subjects. Based on the occurrence of liver injury, they were divided into a liver injury group ( n=36) and a non-liver injury group (n=54). Peripheral blood DNA was extracted from the patients, and the CYP2A6 gene genotypes (rs8192725, rs8192720, and rs28399433) were detected using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification method. The association between CYP2A6 gene polymorphisms and liver injury induced by methimazole treatment in hyperthyroidism was analyzed. Results:The comparison of genotype distribution frequencies at the rs8192725 locus between the liver injury group and the non-liver injury group showed a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). The AG and GG genotypes at the rs8192725 locus were protective factors against liver injury in patients with hyperthyroidism (AG vs. AA, OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.08-0.57; P<0.05; GG vs. AA, OR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.06-0.89; P<0.05; AG+GG vs. AA, OR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.09-0.54; P<0.05). The frequency of the G allele of rs8192725 in the liver injury group was significantly lower than that in the non-liver injury group (G vs. A, OR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.19-0.70; P<0.05), indicating that it is a protective factor for liver injury in hyperthyroid patients receiving methimazole treatment. Conclusions:The CYP2A6 gene polymorphism at the rs8192725 locus is associated with the occurrence of liver injury in patients with hyperthyroidism treated with methimazole. The G allele may be a protective factor against liver injury in patients with hyperthyroidism, suggesting that individualized treatment plans can be developed based on the patient's genotype.

The prevalence of periodontitis in China is as high as 74.2％,making it the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and severely impacting both oral and overall health.The treatment of periodontitis and periodontal tissue regeneration are global challenges of significant concern.GE Shaohua's group at School and Hospital of Stomatology,Shandong University has focused on the key scientific issue of"re-modeling the periodontal inflammatory microenvironment and optimizing tissue repair and regeneration".They have elucidated the mechanisms underlying the persistence of periodontitis,developed bioactive ma-terials to enhance stem cell regenerative properties,and constructed a series of guided tissue regeneration barrier membranes to promote periodontal tissue repair,leading to the establishment of a comprehensive technology system for the treatment of periodontitis.Specific achievements and progress include:(1)Elucidating the mechanism by which key periodontal pathogens evade antimicrobial autophagy,leading to inflammatory damage;developing intelligent antimicrobial hydrogels and nanosystems,and creating metal-polyphenol network microsphere capsules to reshape the periodontal inflammatory microenviron-ment;(2)Explaining the mechanisms by which nanomaterial structures and electroactive interfaces regu-late stem cell behavior,developing optimized nanostructures and electroactive biomaterials,thereby effec-tively enhancing the regenerative repair capabilities of stem cells;(3)Creating a series of biphasic heterogeneous barrier membranes,refining guided tissue regeneration and in situ tissue engineering techniques,stimulating the body's intrinsic repair potential,and synergistically promoting the structural regeneration and functional reconstruction of periodontal tissues.The research outcomes of the group have innovated the fundamental theories of periodontal tissue regeneration,broken through foreign technologi-cal barriers and patent blockades,established a cascade repair strategy for periodontal regeneration,and enhanced China's core competitiveness in the field of periodontal tissue regeneration.

Objective To identify the pathogenic gene and variant for a family with branchio-otic syndrome.Methods The clinical data of this family were collected,and the peripheral blood was extracted for deafness gene NGS panel analysis.Pathogenic variation detected was verified by Sanger sequencing.Results The family contained 17 members in three-generations,3 of whom exhibited autosomal dominant,hearing loss,preauricular fistula and branchial cleft fistula,which were in accordance with the clinical diagnosis criteria of branchio-otic syndrome.A no-vel heterozygous variant c.963dupT(p.E322X)in EYA1 gene was identified,which co-segregated with the branchi-o-otic syndrome phenotype in the family.The variant was a nonsense variant resulting in the premature appearance of the stop codon.According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics(ACMG)guidelines and the criteria,the variant was classified as pathogenic.Conclusion We identified a novel pathogenic variant EYA1:c.963dupT(p.E322X)in a family with branchio-otic syndrome.

Objective:To construct a structural equation model for neck work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in the footwear industry and analyze the mediating effect of fatigue in the model.Methods:From November 2018 to December 2019, stratified cluster sampling was adopted to select all the workers (3565 people) from 7 footwear enterprises in Fujian Province as the research subjects. The incidence of WMSDs, fatigue and work-related condition were investigated by using the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. A structural equation model of individual factors, work type, work posture, work organization factors, and fatigue on neck WMSDs was constructed to analyze the mediating effect of fatigue among them.Results:The incidence rate of WMSDs in the neck of footwear workers was 39.6% (1413/3565) , and the incidence rate of neck fatigue was 46.6% (1662/3565) .The final structural equation model was constructed with a χ2/ df of 9.927, a goodness-of-fit index of 0.961, an adjusted goodness-of-fit index of 0.946, and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.050. Except for the χ2/ df, all other fit indicators met the standard. Individual factors and work posture factors had a direct effect on neck WMSDs, with standardized path coefficients of 0.101 and 0.077, respectively ( P<0.05) . Individual factors, work type, work posture, and work organization had indirect effects on neck WMSDs through fatigue, the standardized path coefficients of indirect effects were 0.163, 0.090, 0.206, 0.105, respectively, and the standardized path coefficients of the total effect were 0.264, 0.090, 0.282, and 0.105 respectively ( P<0.05) . The indirect effects of individual factors and work posture factors on neck WMSDs through fatigue accounted for 61.74% and 73.05% of the total effects, respectively. The standardized path coefficient of fatigue on WMSDs was 0.689 ( P<0.001) , with the highest coefficient among all paths. Conclusion:Individual factors, work type, work posture, and work organization factors are important influencing factors in the occurrence and development of neck WMSDs in the footwear industry, and fatigue plays an important mediating role in them.
