Objective:To explore the applicability and effectiveness of the "Hand as Foot" visual teaching method in bedside teaching of spinal surgical diseases, investigate its impact on enhancing student learning outcomes and clinical application abilities, and provide new directions and guidance for teaching methods.Methods:A total of 60 students from the five-year clinical medicine program enrolled in 2019 at Inner Mongolia Medical University were selected and randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group (30 students each) using a random number table. The teaching content covered bedside knowledge related to spinal surgery. The control group received traditional oral bedside teaching method, while the experimental group received the "Hand as Foot" visual teaching method. Both groups of students received eight 45-min bedside teaching sessions. After class, teaching effectiveness was evaluated through a theoretical knowledge examination and student classroom satisfaction was evaluated, including interest in learning, enthusiasm and participation, classroom activity, teacher-student interaction, and mastery of theoretical knowledge. SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and compared using the t-test; categorical variables were presented as numbers or percentages and compared using the chi-square test. Results:The experimental group scored (78.80±3.19) on the theoretical knowledge examination, while the control group scored (73.20±4.89), with a significant difference between the two groups ( t=3.72, P=0.001). In the classroom satisfaction survey, the experimental group also outperformed the control group in learning interest [(9.60±0.51) vs. (8.40±0.74)], enthusiasm and participation [(9.40±0.63) vs. (8.07±0.70)], classroom activity [(9.53±0.64) vs. (8.67±0.81)], teacher-student interaction [(9.53±0.52) vs. (8.33±0.72)], and mastery of theoretical knowledge [(8.60±0.91) vs. (7.20±0.77)], with all differences being statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The "Hand as Foot" visual teaching method is suitable for bedside teaching of spinal diseases, allowing students to understand diseases more vividly. This method not only facilitates effective communication between teachers and students, enhances student understanding of relevant knowledge, and improves their confidence in learning, but also inspires a more proactive learning attitude.

In the context of Chinese narrative medicine， narrative foreclosure is an abnormal state in the process of life narrative， which is the “fractured or stagnation of the life narrative process”. Based on analyzing the characteristics and performance of typical traumatic narrative foreclosures in literary works and clinical reality， this paper proposed that narrative care is of great significance for the traumatic subject to get out of narrative foreclosures and re-enter the narrative process of mental and physical comfort. “Narrative care” is a way of care in which medical staff or educator in health institutions use their narrative capital and narrative wisdom to establish interpersonal narrative connections with themselves， their families， and service or education recipients， so as to nourish subjects in narrative foreclosure and help them get out of life’s dilemmas. Narrative caregivers assist the traumatic subjects in gaining the restorative power to repair the fractured narrative process of life through the construction of a narrative community， getting out of isolation， achieving growth， and restoring overall health.

Background: The incidence density of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and the effect of a healthy lifestyle on the risk of MAFLD remain unknown. We evaluated the prevalence and incidence density of MAFLD and investigated the association between healthy lifestyle and the risk of MAFLD. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 37,422 participants to explore the prevalence of MAFLD. A cohort analysis of 18,964 individuals was conducted to identify the incidence of MAFLD, as well as the association between healthy lifestyle and MAFLD. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) with adjustments for confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of MAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and their comorbidities were 30.38%, 28.09%, and 26.13%, respectively. After approximately 70 thousand person-years of follow-up, the incidence densities of the three conditions were 61.03, 55.49, and 51.64 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. Adherence to an overall healthy lifestyle was associated with a 19% decreased risk of MAFLD (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.92), and the effects were modified by baseline age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Subgroup analyses revealed that younger participants, men, and those with a lower BMI experienced more significant beneficial effects from healthy lifestyle. Conclusion Our results highlight the beneficial effect of adherence to a healthy lifestyle on the prevention of MAFLD. Health management for improving dietary intake, physical activity, and smoking and drinking habits are critical to improving MAFLD.

Objective:To evaluate the antibacterial activity of pediatric Faropenem sodium against common pathogens isolated from children′s respiratory tract in vitro, and to provide reference for its clinical research and application. Methods:Retrospective analysis.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Faropenem sodium, Merope-nem, Imipenem and other antibiotics was determined by the agar dilution method.A total of 156 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae [including 32 strains of Penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PSSP), 28 strains of Penicillin-intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae (PISP) and 96 strains of Penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP)], 98 strains of Haemophilus influenza, 173 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 55 strains of Moraxella catarrhali clinical isolates were used.MIC 50, MIC 90 and the accumulative inhibition of the bacteria were investigated. Results:The MIC of Faropenem sodium against all the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains ranged from 0.010-2.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against PSSP, PISP and PRSP, and the MIC 90 value was all 1.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Haemophilus influenza strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-8.000 mg/L.There was no difference in the MIC distribution of Faropenem sodium against Haemophilus influenza with or without β-lactamase and Ampicillin resistance.The MIC 90 value was all 4.000 mg/L.Ho-wever, the MIC of Faropenem sodium against Klebsiella pneumoniae ranged from 0.250 to above 32.000 mg/L, and both MIC 50 and MIC 90 were greater than 32.000 mg/L.Faropenem sodium inhibited all the Moraxella catarrhalis strains at concentrations ranging from 0.030-2.000 mg/L, with MIC 50 being 0.500 mg/L and MIC 90 being 1.000 mg/L. Conclusions:Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results in vitro demonstrate that pediatric Faropenem sodium has satisfactory antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but comparatively weak antibacterial activities against Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Objective:To explore the effect of combined problem-based learning (PBL) and lecture-based learning (LBL) on the teaching of skeletal motor system diseases for eight-year clinical medicine program students.Methods:The clinical eight-year medical students from Batch 2014 and 2015 participating in the teaching of "osteoarthritis" in the course of Skeletal Motor System Diseases in West China Clinical Medical College of Sichuan University were divided into control group (60 students) and experimental group (82 students). The control group was taught by LBL teaching method, while the experimental group was taught by PBL+LBL teaching method. A questionnaire survey was conducted to retrospectively analyze the teaching effects, including learning enthusiasm, knowledge understanding, thinking ability, teamwork ability, practical ability, self-learning ability and teacher-student relationship, as well as the evaluation of teaching satisfaction. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The survey results showed that students in the experimental group were significantly superior to those in the control group in such aspects as learning enthusiasm (8.00±1.61 vs. 7.28±1.98), knowledge understanding (8.02±1.59 vs. 7.33±1.79), thinking ability (8.34±1.66 vs. 7.42±1.90), teamwork ability (8.32±1.76 vs. 6.60±2.79), practical ability (7.70±1.69 vs. 6.87 ± 2.57), self-learning ability (8.05±1.65 vs. 7.35±2.48) and teacher-student relationship (7.96±1.75 vs. 7.25±2.10), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, the PBL+LBL group was more satisfied with the teaching mode than the LBL group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of PBL+LBL teaching method in clinical medicine eight-year program course teaching of "osteoarthritis" in Skeletal Motor System Diseases can effectively improve the learning enthusiasm of students, improve the quality of education, and obtain good teaching effect.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and needs of pharmaceutical training for general practice faculty.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire survey was conducted in April 2019. The participants were general practice faculty attending the national training course in Zhongshan Hospital and selected by convenience sampling method.Results:A total of 219 general practice teachers participated in the survey, 51.14% (112/219) of the participants thought that the current pharmaceutical knowledge did not meet the needs of pharmaceutical services in daily work, and 67.58% (148/219) attended pharmacy related training every year, and the frequency was mainly 1—2 times per year (56.62%, 124/219). The main reasons for attending the training were working needs (68.24%, 101/148) and willingness (55.41%, 82/148); 63.51% (94/148) of the participants thought that the training was moderate or less effective, mainly because of the weak strength of trainers (40.54%, 60/148), insufficient attention paid by trainers (37.16%, 55/148) and lack of depth (37.16%, 55/148). The survey showed that 76.26% (167/219) of general practice teachers had pharmaceutical training needs; and gender, working years and working experience in secondary and/or tertiary hospitals were influencing factors for pharmaceutical training needs. And female faculty, those working less than 10 years and with working experience in secondary hospitals had higher demand for pharmaceutical training. The expected pharmaceutical training focused primarily on the selection and optimization of medication schemes (72.60%, 159/219), interaction/incompatibility between medicines (62.10%, 136/219) and pharmaceutical care in medical treatment (57.08%, 125/219). The expected training methods were mainly interactive case analysis and discussion (69.41%, 152/219) through the internet or APP (such as WeChat) (54.34%, 119/219); the expected training frequency was no more than once in two months (36.07%, 79/219), better in working time (48.86%, 107/219) and each session was 30—45 minutes (38.36%, 84/219).Conclusion:General practice faculty has a high demand for pharmaceutical training. Targeted, individualized and systematic pharmaceutical training courses should be developed according to the pharmaceutical training needs of participants.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of sacral neuromodulation(SNM)therapy for the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction(LUTD)in elderly patients.Methods:Clinical data of 91 elderly patients with LUTD from multiple medical institutions who received SNM during the period from January 2012 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into four groups: the interstitial cystitis(IC)group(n=28), the neurogenic bladder(NB)group(n=36), the overactive bladder syndrome(OAB)group(n=13)and the idiopathic dysuria(ID)group(n=14). Different sets of evaluation parameters were used for different diseases.Patients’ baseline data and data in stage I(test phase)and stage Ⅱ(permanent SNM)were recorded, statistically analyzed and compared.Results:Ninety-one people underwent SNM treatment.Of them, 53 patients received permanent implants(stage Ⅱ), and the total conversion rate of stage I to stage Ⅱ was 58.2%(53/91). Patients receiving permanent implants(stage Ⅱ)had a preoperative period ranging from 3 months to 30 years, and were followed up for 2 to 58 months after treatment, with an average follow-up of 19.6 months.The improvement rates in stage I for urinary urgency, daily urination frequency, daily nocturnal urination frequency, maximum urine volume, daily average urine volume, daily urine leakage frequency, and quality of life score were 35.4%, 31.6%, 33.7%, 32.6%, 49.2%, 43.2% and 13.2%, respectively.The improvement rates in stage Ⅱ for urinary urgency, daily urination frequency, daily nocturnal urination frequency, maximum urine volume, daily average urine volume, daily urine leakage frequency, and quality of life score were 43.2%, 40.0%, 37.8%, 50.5%, 70.5%, 70.4% and 43.2%, respectively.Three adverse events occurred, including 1 case of recurrent symptoms, 1 case of moderate infection, and 1 case of electrical lead dislocation.Conclusions:Sacral nerve stimulation has definitive and consistent curative effects on LUTD in elderly people.The follow-up time should be extended to further study the safety of sacral nerve stimulation.

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) refers to a kind of encephalitis mediated by immune mechanism, which is one of adult symptomatic epilepsy due to unknown etiology. Early recognition has certain difficulty. AE patients with multiple antineuronal antibody co-existing are relatively rare. Clinical symptoms are more complex and variable, and can involve a wider range of immune system. A case of temporal lobe epilepsy with anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 and glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 antibodies double-positive AE complicated by vitiligo and diabetes is reported. After immune shock and continuous immunotherapy, the patient completely recovered from encephalitis and diabetes, and vitiligo was improved obviously.

Objective To investigate the effects of pregnancy on long-term outcomes of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD).Methods Women with PAH-CHD who had undergone pregnancy under the care of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2004 to 2013 were retrospectively identified and 1∶1 matched to nulliparous PAH-CHD females (controls).Functional status and other clinical data were recorded for each group at baseline and follow-up.Results We successfully matched 40 pairs of pregnant and non-pregnant women with PAH-CHD.The patients were followed up for a mean of (6.5 ± 1.9) years,the outcomes of patients were documented during April 2016 to October 2016.No deaths occurred in either group during the study period.There were no statistically significant differences in long-term cardiac function between the two groups (Z =-1.41,P =0.16).After adjusting age,timing of follow-up,specific drug therapy and Eisenmenger's syndrome,pregnancy didn't have significant effect on the long-term deterioration of cardiac function in PAH-CHD patients (OR =1.32,95％ CI:0.33-5.37,P =0.70).Conclusion Pregnancy may not have significant effect on long-term cardiac function in PAH-CHD patients,but this conclusion needs to be confirmed by further studies.
