Objective To use a physics-informed neural network(PINN)-based model to predict hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms and address the problems of long simulation time and high computational cost in traditional computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulations.Methods The PINN model was trained using only the computational domain coordinates and sparse velocity measurement points from CFD data of clinical patients.The predicted blood flow velocity,pressure,and wall shear stress(WSS)from the PINN model were compared with CFD simulation results.Results The proposed method was used to test and validate data from four different patients.For velocity prediction,the average mean absolute error(MAE),average mean relative error(MRE),average mean squared error(MSE)was 4.60%,6.61%,and 0.229%,respectively.For WSS prediction,the average MAE,MRE and MSE was 5.54%,8.58%,and 0.510%,respectively.The PINN model demonstrated a good generalization capability across different aneurysm models and could reduce the computation time of hemodynamics from several hours to just a few seconds.Conclusions The PINN model can effectively compensate for incomplete measurement data through physical constraints,even when boundary conditions are unknown and measurement data are sparse.It can rapidly and accurately simulate the hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysms.This method has the potential to provide effective support for clinical risk prediction in intracranial aneurysms.

Objective:To observe the effects of 4E (explore, express, explain, extend) teaching combined with Gibbs reflective cycle method on the thinking and learning ability of nurse interns in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery.Methods:A total of 96 nurse interns in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery between June 1, 2022 and September 1, 2023 were selected as the research objects. Based on internship period, they were divided into the control group (from June 2022 to January 2023, traditional teaching) and the observation group (from February 2023 to September 2023, 4E teaching combined with Gibbs reflective cycle method). The critical thinking ability and evidence-based medicine ability before and after the internship were compared, and the recognition of the teaching method was compared between the two groups. SPSS 20.0 was used for t test and χ2 test. Results:After the teaching, the critical thinking ability and evidence-based medicine ability of nurse interns in the two groups were significantly higher than those before the teaching. The scores of critical thinking ability and evidence-based medicine ability were significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group. Compared with the control group, the observation group showed higher levels of recognition in terms of proactiveness (44/48 vs. 30/48), information access ability (45/48 vs. 32/48), emergency response ability (47/48 vs. 29/48), and enhancement of teacher-student relationships (46/48 vs. 30/48), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of 4E teaching combined with Gibbs reflective cycle method in training nurse interns in the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery can improve their critical thinking ability and evidence-based medicine ability, and the nurse interns have a high level of recognition for this teaching method.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the Total Nutritional Therapy (TNT) course initiated by the Chinese Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (CSPEN) over the 20 years since its implementation in China.Methods:Participants who attended the CSPEN-organized TNT course between 2005 and 2024 were randomly selected as survey subjects. A four-level questionnaire (reaction, learning, behavior, and results) was developed via expert consensus, based on the Kirkpatrick model. An electronic link to the survey, created via Wenjuanxing, was distributed to invite participants to complete the questionnaire.Results:A total of 1,548 healthcare professionals from various specialties who had received TNT course participated in the online survey. Over 93% of participants reported improvements in theoretical knowledge and 94% in enhanced clinical diagnosis and treatment capabilities. Additionally, 65.4% of participants reported a "significant" or "noticeable" increase in the frequency of nutritional screening and assessments, with the frequency of nutritional support therapy utilization increased by 91.2%. Furthermore, 52.6% of respondents perceived a "significant" or "noticeable" career advancement, particularly in professional title promotion and international academic exchanges. The TNT course also positively impacted discipline development and management: 63.6% of the trainees' hospitals established clinical nutrition departments, 58.98% opened nutrition outpatient clinics, and 56.9% formed nutrition support teams. The adoption rate of standardized procedures, such as nutritional screening, exceeded 92.5% in relevant departments.Conclusions:Over the past 20 years, the CSPEN-led TNT course has successfully established a virtuous cycle of "knowledge dissemination–practice transformation–system innovation" in China. It has played a positive role in enhancing the professional competencies of healthcare workers and promoting the development of clinical nutrition as a discipline.
