ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the application of narrative education in undergraduate nursing teaching， to understand the current application status of narrative education， and to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent establishment of a sound narrative education system. MethodsA systematic search was conducted for studies published in Chinese and English databases on applying narrative education to undergraduate nursing teaching， with the search period ranging from database inception to February 23， 2025. Literature was screened， and relevant information was extracted. A rigorous quality evaluation was conducted on the included studies， and a descriptive analysis was performed on their content. ResultsA total of 20 papers were included， involving 3，180 research subjects， all of whom were undergraduate nursing students. The results of descriptive analysis showed that the teaching model of narrative education primarily encompassed reading narrative works， watching films and videos， performing narrative scenarios， and writing reflective journals. The course setting and content covered pre-teaching preparation and in-teaching implementation. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness included the evaluation of teachers’ teaching methods （student evaluation/self-evaluation） and the evaluation of students’ learning effectiveness （course grade evaluation/humanistic care scale/empathy scale assessment， and others）. ConclusionNarrative education combines abstract concepts with concrete clinical situations， which not only enriches students’ learning experiences but also enhances their humanistic literacy. Meanwhile， it provides teachers with opportunities to develop their narrative teaching skills， which requires them to possess profound professional knowledge and employ narrative techniques to guide students in reflection and critical thinking， thereby improving teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future efforts should consistently deepen the connotation research of narrative education and build a systematic nursing education system.

Sichuan Province is a hilly schistosomiasis-endemic province in China with the highest endemicity and largest coverage. During the period of more than 70 years of integrated control, there are five distinct phases of schistosomiasis control in Sichuan Province, including baseline investigation, Oncomelania hupensis snail control, chemotherapy for both humans and livestock, management of source of Schistosoma japonicum infections, and sustained control and intensified surveillance and early warning, and a package of key interventions are implemented, including environmental modification, snail control with chemical treatment, large-scale chemotherapy for humans and livestock, management of source of S. japonicum infections, intensified integrated control, establishment of an early warning and surveillance system. As a result, schistosomiasis has been eliminated across all 63 disease-endemic counties (cities, districts) in Sichuan Province by June 2025. Government-led multi-sectoral collaborations, science and technology-supported precision control strategies, and a sustainable control model tailored to the ecological and socio-economic conditions in endemic regions are essential to achieving the target of schistosomiasis elimination in Sichuan Province.

This paper systematically analyzes schistosomiasis transmission risks during the elimination stage and reviews the evolution of the schistosomiasis surveillance system in China from a One Health perspective, with a special emphasis on schistosomiasis surveillance and response practices during the elimination stage from a One Health perspective. These practices include precise screening of human schistosomiasis under low-endemicity conditions, systematic monitoring of schistosomiasis in domestic and wild animals, ecological management of Oncomelania snails, and information-coordinated responses. Nevertheless, the current surveillance and response system for schistosomiasis suffers from challenges of insufficient cross-sectoral coordination and complex external environments, which constrain precise schistosomiasis surveillance and response in China. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to integrate coordination mechanisms, empower the surveillance system with technological innovation, improve capacity building, and actively promote diverse social participation in the One Health framework, so as to consolidate current schistosomiasis control achievements and achieve the target for schistosomiasis elimination across China, which may provide a replicable technical model for global zoonoses control.

ObjectiveTo verify the protective effect and pharmacological mechanism of Qishen granules against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity， thus providing a basis for developing new drug options for clinical treatment of cardio-oncology disease. MethodsFifty mice were randomly assigned into a normal group （n=10） and a modeling group （n=40）. The model was established by intravenous injection of doxorubicin （5 mg·kg^-1） via the tail vein， once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The normal group was injected with an equal volume of normal saline during the same period. The modeled mice were further assigned into four groups： doxorubicin （no drug control）， low-dose （3.33 mg·kg^-1） Qishen granules， high-dose （6.67 mg·kg^-1） Qishen granules， and enalapril （15 mg·kg^-1）. Mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 4 consecutive weeks. At the end of the experiment， echocardiography， histopathological staining， and live-cell imaging were employed to determine relevant indicators， on the basis of which the protective effect of Qishen granules against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity was evaluated. ResultsCompared with the normal group， doxorubicin treatment reduced the left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） （P<0.05） and caused pathological changes including disarrangement of cardiomyocytes， increased cell spacing， cardiomyocyte hypertrophy， and increased apoptosis in the heart tissue. Meanwhile， doxorubicin prolonged the mitochondria-lysosome contact time， downregulated the expression of TBC1 domain family member 15 （TBC1D15） （P<0.01）， upregulated the levels of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 （LC3） and sequestosome 1 （p62） （P<0.01）， and induced mitochondrial cristae breakage， resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction. Compared with the doxorubicin group， intervention with Qishen granules reversed the above indicators. It not only increased the LVEF （P<0.01） and alleviated pathological damage to the heart， but also upregulated the expression of TBC1D15 （P<0.01）， shortened the mitochondria-lysosome contact time （P<0.05）， and downregulated the protein levels of LC3 and p62. When TBC1D15 in cells was knocked down， the autophagy-activating and mitochondrion-protecting effects of Qishen granules partially disappeared. ConclusionQishen granules upregulate the expression of TBC1D15 to shorten the mitochondria-lysosome contact time， thereby activating autophagy and ultimately exerting a protective effect against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Objective: To investigate the effects of platelet-derived PD-L1 released during storage on T cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine expression. Methods: Apheresis platelets were stored with agitation at 22℃. Platelet supernatant was collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 of storage, and then co-cultured with human CD4 and CD8 mixed T cells isolated by magnetic bead sorting. CCK8 assay was used to detect T cell proliferation; flow cytometry was applied to determine T cell apoptosis as well as the expression levels of IFN-γ and GZMB. Additionally, Western blot was employed to examine alterations in downstream signaling molecules of the PD-1 receptor. Results: With the prolongation of platelet storage time, the inhibitory effect of platelet storage medium on T cell proliferation was gradually enhanced, accompanied by suppressed expression of IFN-γ and GZMB, whereas the apoptosis level of T cells increased progressively. Treatment with PD-1 antibody or PD-L1 antibody partially blocked the regulatory effects of platelet storage medium on T cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the expression of IFN-γ and GZMB. Western blot results showed that the phosphorylation levels of p-SHP1 and p-SHP2 were significantly upregulated, whereas p-AKT expression was downregulated in T cells co-cultured with platelet storage medium. Intervention with PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody could partially reverse the above changes in protein expression. Conclusion: During platelet storage, platelet-derived PD-L1 in the storage medium promotes T cell apoptosis and inhibits T cell proliferation as well as the expression of related cytokines in a time-dependent manner. Therefore, platelet-derived PD-L1, as an important immune regulatory mediator, may be involved in transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM).

Objective : To investigate the effects of resveratrol(Res) on fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA), and to explore the possible mechanism of Res inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors from FLS. Methods : FLS from RA patients were culturedin vitroand treated with different concentrations of Res(0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μmol/L). The viability of FLS cells was detected by CCK-8 assay after 12 and 24 h. The contents of inflammatory factor interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase(cGAS) and stimulator of interferon gene(STING) were measured by Western blot; After lentivirus infection with FLS caused the cells to overexpress cGAS, the cells were divided into Control group(blank control), cGAS group(cGAS overexpression), Res+cGAS group(Res 160 μmol/L+cGAS overexpression) and Res group(Res 160 μmol/L). The expression level of STING protein in cells of each group was determined by Western blot, the viability of FLS cells in each group was detected by CCK-8, and the contents of inflammatory factor IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatant of cells of each group were detected by ELISA method. Results : The results of CCK-8 experiment showed that under 40, 80, 160 μmol/L Res treatment, FLS viability decreased significantly after 24 h compared with blank control group(P<0.01). ELISA results showed that the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α in cell supernatant were also significantly decreased after treatment with Res of 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L(P<0.01). Meanwhile, Western blot results showed that Res could significantly decrease the protein expression levels of STING and cGAS in FLS cells after treatment of 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the Control group, the expression level of STING protein in FLS increased after overexpression of cGAS(P<0.05); compared with the Res group, the content of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of FLS and the expression level of STING protein in FLS significantly increased after overexpression of cGAS(P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion The appropriate concentration of Res can inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines in FLS cells, which may be related to the blocking of cGAS-STING signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of peripheral blood-derived exosomes （Exo） intervened by Naozhenning （NZN） on injury of neuron cells HT22 induced by microglia BV-2 cells. METHODS Wistar rats were selected to prepare peripheral blood- derived Exo intervened by NZN （66.83 g/kg）， referred to as NZN-Exo； peripheral blood-derived Exo intervened by normal saline and piracetam （PLXT， 1.62 g/kg） were prepared using the same method， denoted as KB-Exo and PLXT-Exo respectively， and all Exo were subsequently identified. Meanwhile， BV-2 cells were stimulated with 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide （LPS） to prepare LPS- stimulated supernatant， and non-LPS-stimulated supernatant was prepared following the same protocol. HT22 cells were divided into four groups: KB-Exo group （treated with non-LPS-stimulated supernatant+KB-Exo）， model group （treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+KB-Exo）， PLXT-Exo group （treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+PLXT-Exo）， and NZN-Exo group （treated with LPS-stimulated supernatant+NZN-Exo）， with the concentration of the corresponding Exo in all groups being 50 μg/mL. After 24 hours of culture， the proliferation of HT22 cells was detected by the CCK-8 assay and EdU assay； the apoptosis of HT22 cells was detected； the microstructure of HT22 cells was observed； the contents of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， nuclear factor-κB （NF- κB）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in HT22 cells were measured， as well as the expression levels of TNF-α， NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3）， Caspase-1， B-cell lymphoma-2（ Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）. RESULTS KB-Exo， PLXT-Exo and NZN-Exo were successfully prepared， and all Exo exhibited typical cup-shaped contours and membrane-enclosed characteristics. Compared with KB-Exo group， model group showed significantly decreased cell proliferation rates （detected by CCK-8 and EdU）， intracellular IL-10 levels， and Bcl-2 protein expression levels （P＜0.05）； while the cell apoptosis rate， intracellular levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and NF-κB， as well as the expression levels of NLRP3， TNF-α， Caspase-1， and Bax proteins were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Additionally， in the model group， the cells showed volume swelling， incomplete cell membrane， nucleolar rupture， significant swelling and deformation of mitochondria， and severe vacuolization. Compared with model group， the above quantitative indicators in the PLXT-Exo group and NZN-Exo group were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）， with large and round cell nuclei， intact nuclear membranes， and reduced mitochondrial vacuolization. CONCLUSIONS Peripheral blood-derived Exo intervened by naozhenning can alleviate the injury of neuronal cells HT22 by inhibiting inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis.

Objective:To study the effects of obesity on alveolar bone loss and gut microbiota in mice with periodontitis.Methods:Twenty-four seven-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups based on table of random numbers ( n=6 in each group): normal-fat diet group (NFD group), high-fat diet group (HFD group), normal-fat diet and periodontitis group (NFD_PD group) and high-fat diet and periodontitis group (HFD_PD group). NFD and HFD groups were fed with normal or high-fat diet for twelve weeks respectively; NFD_PD and HFD_PD groups were induced to periodontitis by ligating the bilateral maxillary second molars with 5-0 silk thread at the fourth week after feeding with normal or high-fat diet respectively. The body weight was measured weekly. The mice were euthanized for collecting the samples at the end of the 12th week. Liver, kidneys, perirenal and retroperitoneal fat were weighed. Serum was collected to detect the level of serum lipids and inflammatory factors. The right maxilla bones were scanned by micro-CT. HE staining was performed to observe the periodontal tissue. The cecum contents were collected for gut microbiota 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between the abundance of gut microbiota and serum inflammatory level and CT value. Results:After 12 weeks of high-fat diet fed, the body weight of HFD group [(26.52±1.96) g] was significantly higher than that of NFD group [(20.95±0.63) g] ( t=6.63, P<0.001). The body weight of HFD_PD group [(23.82±1.12) g] was significantly higher than that of NFD_PD group [(20.73±0.47) g] ( t=6.23, P=0.001). The serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein in HFD group and HFD_PD group were significantly higher than those in NFD group and NFD_PD group ( P<0.01). The distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) on the mesial site of maxillary second molar in HFD_PD group [(647.46±47.46) μm] was significantly higher than that in NFD_PD group [(440.48±68.08) μm] ( t=5.58, P<0.001). HE staining showed that the maxillary second molar attachment loss, collagen fiber destruction and inflammatory cell infiltration were more significant serious in HFD_PD group compared with NFD_PD group. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) of serum in HFD_PD group [(17.11±1.92), (31.61±3.20) and (204.42±35.96) ng/L, respectively] were significantly higher than those in NFD_PD group [(10.44±1.65), (19.96±2.09) and (147.36±10.76) ng/L, respectively] ( P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.004). The 16S rRNA gene analysis revealed that the Bacteroides/Firmicutes ratio in HFD_PD group (4.00±3.30) was significantly higher than that in NFD_PD group (0.62±0.19) ( t=2.50, P=0.030). The abundance of Oscillospira in HFD_PD group [(12.25±0.05) %] was significantly higher than that in NFD_PD group [(2.80±0.01) %] ( t=4.64, P<0.001). The abundance of Parabacteroides in HFD_PD group [(0.25±0.27)% ] was significantly lower than that in NFD_PD group [(2.04±0.02)%] ( t=2.32, P=0.043). The β-diversity analysis of gut microbiota based on Bray-Curtis distance showed that samples of HFD_PD group and NFD_PD group were obviously grouped. Correlation analysis showed that the abundance of Oscillospira was positively correlated with IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1 concentration and CEJ-ABC value in serum significantly ( r values were 0.80, 0.79, 0.80, 0.89, P<0.05). The abundance of Parabacteroides was negatively correlated with IL-1β, IL-6 concentration and CEJ-ABC value in serum significantly ( r values were -0.71, -0.71, -0.86, -0.95, P<0.05). Conclusions:Obesity promotes alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis mice and changes the gut microbiota. Oscillospira and Parabacteroides may play a key role.

Patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) often experience coagulation dysfunction. This article reports a case of a critical SFTS patient who developed secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and accompanied by significantly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)(111.0 s). APTT mixing test, coagulation factor activity assays, and antiphospholipid antibodies testing excluded coagulation factor deficiencies and classic antiphospholipid syndrome. Combined with elevated endothelial injury markers, it was hypothesized that the prolonged APTT was related to endothelial injury. The patient was treated with dexamethasone, ruxolitinib, and plasma transfusion, the patient′s APTT returned to normal (34.6 s), platelets increased, and levels of ferritin, inflammatory cytokines, and vascular endothelial injury markers decreased. This case suggests that prolonged APTT in SFTS patients may be associated with HLH, cytokine storms, and endothelial injury. Glucocorticoid and Janus kinase inhibitor, by controlling inflammatory responses and reducing endothelial damage, may have potential therapeutic value in correcting coagulation abnormalities.
