ObjectiveTo explore the evolution principles of symptoms including deficiency, phlegm and blood stasis, and of the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) cerebral hemodynamic characteristics at various stages in patients of Alzheimer's disease. MethodsA total of 497 patients with complaint of memory loss were included, and were divided into subjective cognitive decline (SCD) group (198 participants), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) group (228 participants) and dementia (AD) group (71 participants). Neuropsychological evaluation, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome investigation, and fNIRS data collection of prefrontal cortex were performed in each group. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the distribution of TCM syndromes and the difference of TCM syndrome scores in each group; logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of TCM syndromes on the incidence of the patients; association rules were used to analyze the TCM syndromes of the patients; the hemodynamic characteristics of fNIRS in the prefrontal cortex of each group were compared. ResultsKidney essence deficiency syndrome was the dominant syndrome in all stages of AD. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution frequency of kidney essence deficiency, phlegm turbidity obstructing orifices, blood stasis obstructing collaterals, qi and blood deficiency, heat toxin in the interior, and fu-organ stagnation and turbidity retention syndromes among the three groups (P<0.01), and the scores of kidney essence deficiency syndrome among the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that kidney essence deficiency, and qi and blood deficiency syndromes were the main risk factors for the SCD group (P<0.05), phlegm turbidity obstructing orifices syndrome was the main risk factor for the MCI group (P<0.05), and heat toxin in the interior, and fu-organ stagnation and turbidity retention syndromes were the main risk factors for the AD group (P<0.05). The association rule analysis showed that the combination of kidney essence deficiency plus phlegm turbidity obstructing orifices had the highest support (33.33%) in the SCD group, and the combination of kidney essence deficiency plus blood stasis obstructing collaterals had the highest support (32.90% and 52.13%) in both the MCI and AD group. The prefrontal fNIRS results showed that the mean ∆HbO2 concentration in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) decreased sequentially among the three groups (P<0.05), and the mean ∆HbO2 concentration in the LDLPFC was negatively correlated with the MoCA score among the three groups (r = -0.142, P<0.05). Further analysis showed that the mean ∆HbO2 concentration in the LDLPFC of patients with kidney essence deficiency syndrome were statistically significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05). ConclusionKidney deficiency is the basis of the pathogenesis of AD, and the key brain area damaged is the LDLPFC. Turbid pathogens such as phlegm and blood stasis are the pathological factors that aggravate the disease, and the syndromes of AD show the evolution law of deficiency and excess as “kidney deficiency→phlegm turbidity→blood stasis→turbid toxin”. The changes in prefrontal hemodynamics based on fNIRS are consistent with the changes in the characteristics of symptoms, which can be used to assess the degree of cognitive impairment in AD patients.

【Objective:】 The co-word analysis method was used to analyze narrative medical literature studied in China in the past 10 years to explore the research status in this field and lay a foundation for further research. 【Methods:】 Using "narrative medicine" as the theme term, with the limited time interval of 2013—2022 to retrieve for relevant literature in CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases, and include literature that meets the research standards. Bicomb2 was used to perform keyword statistics and analysis on the downloaded literature. Ucinet6.0 and Netdraw were used to draw co-occurrence analysis graphs to visualize the co-occurrence relationship between high-frequency keywords. 【Results:】 A total of 565 papers were included and 31 high-frequency keywords were extracted. The co-occurrence relationship diagrams showed that the current research hotspots of narrative medicine in China include traditional Chinese medicine, nursing, general practice, evidence-based medicine, medical ethics, hospice care, chronic diseases, cancer and other popular disciplines and diseases. Most of them were about enhancing the empathy and humanistic caring ability of medical personnel and improving doctor-patient communication to improve the doctor-patient relationship, as well as doing well in medical humanities education and cultivating narrative ability through parallel medical records and reflective writing. The research on gerontology, improving the professional identity of medical staff, integrating literature and medicine, and the impact on patients were relatively few. 【Conclusion:】 At present, narrative medicine in China has achieved many achievements in fields such as nursing, traditional Chinese medicine, general practice medicine, chronic diseases, cancer, medical humanities education, and improving doctor-patient relationships. In the future, in-depth exploration can be conducted from the use of narrative medicine in multi-disciplinary and disease fields, trying different training methods, and synchronous cultivation of teachers and students, so as to build a more comprehensive narrative medicine system.

Objective:To explore the application effect of case-based learning (CBL), teaching mode combined with 3D printing in clinical teaching of sacral tumors.Methods:A total of 108 undergraduate interns and standardized residency training students who studied in our hospital from 2017 to 2018 were divided into the CBL teaching group ( n = 53) and the CBL combined with 3D printing teaching group ( n = 55) according to their study time. The combined teaching group used computer tomography (CT) data to reconstruct and print out a 3D model of sacral tumors based on CBL, and performed preoperative teaching on the invasion of the surrounding tissues of the tumor. The scores of the students in the two groups were evaluated respectively, and the students were surveyed by self-identification questionnaire (learning interest, self-learning ability, teamwork ability, comprehensive analysis ability and clinical thinking ability). The t-test (one-sided) was used for comparison between groups using stata 14.0. Results:The score of CBL teaching group (75.90±6.70) was lower than that of CBL combined with 3D printing teaching group (83.60±7.40). In terms of critical thinking ability evaluation, self-learning ability, learning interest, comprehensive analysis ability and clinical thinking ability, the CBL combined 3D printing teaching group was superior to the CBL teaching group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). In terms of teamwork ability, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion:The CBL teaching mode combined with 3D printing can improve academic performance, students' learning interest and clinical thinking ability of sacral tumors in the teaching of undergraduate interns and standardized residency training students.
