To address the challenges of fragmented data, inconsistent standards, and delayed feedback in the full-cycle competency development process at teaching hospitals, this paper proposes the LEADS data governance system for Precision Medical Education (LEADS-PME), drawing on the practical experience of building the integrated medical education management platform at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. The LEADS-PME framework comprises five interconnected core components: Longitudinal foundation, Evidence-chain generation, Analytics and profiling, Decision-support and prediction, and Simulation and digital-twin governance. Currently, Zhongshan Hospital has established a full-cycle educational data infrastructure and achieved multi-system data integration and competency-based profiling and evaluation, while the prediction and simulation modules are still in the prototype exploration phase. A mixed-methods evaluation will be subsequently conducted from the perspectives of data quality, management effectiveness, and predictive intervention. As a locally adapted framework, LEADS-PME can transform operational data derived from clinical practice, teaching, assessment, and management processes into traceable, interpretable, and reusable evidence of competency development. It is expected to facilitate the transformation of medical education management from a outcome-oriented approach to process monitoring, evidence-driven decision-making, and precision governance, thereby providing both a theoretical framework and practical reference for precision medical education in Chinese teaching hospitals.

Objective:
To investigate the antibody testing demand and its influencing factors among college students in Shaoxing City Zheijiang Province, so as to provide evidence for carrying out HIV antibody testing services for college students.
Methods:
From November to December 2022, stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey college students from 13 colleges in Shaoxing City. Data on socio-demographic information, demand for HIV antibody testing, sexual behaviors, and HIV-related knowledge were collected through a self - designed questionnaire. Factors affecting HIV antibody demand among college students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 43 716 college students were surveyed, including 19 471 males (44.54%) and 24 245 females (55.46%). There were 2 004 college students (4.58%) with HIV antibody testing demand. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female students (OR=1.344, 95%CI: 1.217-1.485), those in undergraduate institutions (OR=1.296, 95%CI: 1.168-1.438), homosexuals (OR=1.742, 95%CI: 1.301-2.333) or bisexual/uncertain (OR=1.342, 95%CI: 1.171-1.537), those who had sexual experience (OR=1.416, 95%CI: 1.210-1.657), those who had sex with men in the past 6 months (OR=2.164, 95%CI: 1.405-3.333), those who received HIV testing promotion at school in the past year (OR=1.500, 95%CI: 1.327-1.695), and those with perceived risk of HIV infection (OR=5.875, 95%CI: 5.336-6.468) had greater HIV antibody testing demand.
Conclusions
The HIV testing demand among college students is associated with gender, school type, sexual orientation, sexual behaviors, HIV testing promotion, and perceived risk of HIV infection. It is recommended to strengthen HIV knowledge dissemination of AIDS knowledge and mobilization for HIV antibody testing in colleges to improve the accessibility of HIV antibody testing services.

This article presents a case study of a patient who visited the Geriatric Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to "palpitations, shortness of breath for more than 2 years, limb weakness for 6 months, edema, and nocturnal dyspnea for 2 months". The patient exhibited decreased muscle strength in the limbs and involvement of swallowing and respiratory muscles, alongside complications of heart failure and various arrhythmias which were predominantly atrial. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of multiple autoantibodies and notably anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anti-mitochondrial antibody-associated inflammatory myopathy. Treatment involved a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, along with resistance exercises for muscle strength and rehabilitation training for lung function, resulting in significant improvement of clinical symptoms. The case underscores the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary approaches in diagnosing and treating rare diseases in elderly patients, where careful consideration of clinical manifestations and subtle abnormal clinical data can lead to effective interventions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Huangqi Chifengtang (HQCFT) on rats with atherosclerosis (AS) by regulating the gut microbiota and their metabolites. MethodsA rat model of AS was induced through high-fat diet feeding and vitamin D3 injection, and the modeling lasted for 12 weeks. Fifty eight-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: A blank group, a model group, a group receiving a low dose of HQCFT at 1.53 g·kg-1 (HQCFT-L group), a group receiving a high dose of HQCFT at 3.06 g·kg-1 (HQCFT-H group), and a group receiving atorvastatin calcium tablets at 1.8 mg·kg-1 (Ato group), with 10 rats in each group. Oral gavage administration started on the day after model establishment, once daily for four weeks. The efficacy of HQCFT was verified using aortic hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and determination of lipid levels and hemorrheology. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used for detecting inflammatory factor levels in the aorta, high-throughput sequencing for analyzing the gut microbiota composition in intestinal contents, targeted metabolomics for detecting short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, and non-targeted metabolomics for identifying metabolomic profiles of intestinal contents. ResultsCompared with that in the blank group, the aortic tissue of rats in the model group showed significant AS lesions, including endothelial damage, inflammatory infiltration, and formation of fibrous plaques and calcified foci. Moreover, serum triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were significantly elevated (P<0.05), while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Significant increases were observed in whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, and the mRNA expression levels of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in aortic tissue (P<0.05). Additionally, gut microbiota composition, SCFA levels, and metabolomic profiles were significantly altered. Compared with those in the model group, serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels, as well as the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, were significantly reduced in all groups treated with HQCFT (P<0.05). Significant decreases were observed in NLRP3 mRNA expression levels in all groups treated with HQCFT, Caspase-1, IL-β, and IL-6 mRNA expression levels in the HQCFT-H group, and TNF-α mRNA expression levels in the HQCFT-L group (P<0.05). HQCFT reversed the increase in the F/B ratio and dialled back the decrease in the relative abundance of Blautia and the increase in that of Desulfovibrio. HQCFT promoted the production of acetic acid, valeric acid, and propionic acid. Non-targeted metabolomics identified 39 differential metabolites, which were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism and primary bile acid biosynthesis. ConclusionThe mechanism by which HQCFT ameliorates AS injury may be related to the improvement of dyslipidemia and body inflammatory responses by altering gut microbiota composition, promoting SCFA production, and regulating the levels of metabolites in intestinal contents.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic degenerative disease that not only causes pain and reduces the quality of life for patients but also imposes a significant societal burden. Clinical pathways can be developed by referencing recommendations from clinical practice guidelines to localize guidelines within the context of integrated traditional Chinese and western medical systems. However, existing clinical pathways suffer from shortcomings such as deficiencies in integrated traditional Chinese and western medical diagnosis and treatment, inadequate shared decision-making between healthcare providers and patients, and suboptimal visualization of clinical pathways. This study aimed to address and optimize the clinical pathway of KOA by comprehensively organizing and localizing the recommended guidelines. The concept of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine was reflected through the construction of a path of joint decision-making between doctors and patients, emphasizing the coexistence of diagnosis and screening, the combination of clinical and imaging staging, joint decision-making between doctors and patients, and treatment stages. This pathway emphasizes patient-centered approach, with pain relief and functional rehabilitation running parallel, achieving the implementation of evidence-based concepts in practical medical practice. It provides a concrete basis for joint decision-making between doctors and patients in the integrated treatment of KOA with traditional Chinese and western medicine, which helps to improve diagnosis and treatment efficiency and patient quality of life.
