Objective To explore the feasibility and reference value of allogeneic lung transplantation and postoperative monitoring in miniature pigs for lung transplantation research. Methods Two miniature pigs (R1 and R2) underwent left lung allogeneic transplantation. Complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests and blood cross-matching were performed before surgery. The main operative times and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) after opening the pulmonary artery were recorded during surgery. Postoperatively, routine blood tests, biochemical blood indicators and inflammatory factors were detected, and pathological examinations of multiple organs were conducted. Results The complement-dependent cytotoxicity test showed that the survival rate of lymphocytes between donors and recipients was 42.5%-47.3%, and no agglutination reaction occurred in the cross-matching. The first warm ischemia times of D1 and D2 were 17 min and 10 min, respectively, and the cold ischemia times were 246 min and 216 min, respectively. Ultimately, R1 and R2 survived for 1.5 h and 104 h, respectively. Postoperatively, in R1, albumin (ALB) and globulin (GLB) decreased, and alanine aminotransferase increased; in R2, ALB, GLB and aspartate aminotransferase all increased. Urea nitrogen and serum creatinine increased in both recipients. Pathological results showed that in R1, the transplanted lung had partial consolidation with inflammatory cell infiltration, and multiple organs were congested and damaged. In R2, the transplanted lung had severe necrosis with fibrosis, and multiple organs had mild to moderate damage. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 increased in the transplanted lungs. Conclusions The allogeneic lung transplantation model in miniature pigs may systematically evaluate immunological compatibility, intraoperative function and postoperative organ damage. The data obtained may provide technical references for subsequent lung transplantation research.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs),commonly utilized analgesics,are extensively employed for managing pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders or injuries.Recent clinical studies have demonstrated a heightened risk of bone stress injuries(BSI)in soldiers and athletes,particularly during high-intensity training,due to NSAID usage.Furthermore,the impact of NSAIDs on fracture healing is well-documented;however,the precise mechanism by which their use during training contributes to an increased incidence of stress bone injuries remains unclear.This article aims to summarize potential mechanisms through an extensive review of domestic and international literature in order to standardize the utilization and clinical management of NSAIDs,optimize pain management strategies,and prevent stress bone injuries or fractures in specific populations such as soldiers and elite athletes.

Heat stroke is a heat-related illness caused by an imbalance between the body's heat production and heat dissipation,which could lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with a high mortality rate.Rapid and effective reduction of core body temperature is key to successful treatment.This article reviews recent progress in the treatment of heat stroke,including new understandings of organ injury mechanisms,the timing,velocity and goals of cooling treatment,evaluation and selection of traditional cooling techniques(such as cold water immersion),and scientific evaluation of new cooling technologies(such as blood purification technology and intravascular heat exchange cooling technology),aiming to promote understanding and treatment of heat stroke.

With the advancement of the "New Medical Science" reform, the "Medicine+X" model has emerged as a key direction for the future development of medical education. Multidisciplinary integration places higher demands on both educators and students. Emerging technologies, such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, intelligent campus management systems, and ChatGPT, have made personalized learning possible. Such approaches offer notable advantages, including improving learning efficiency, enhancing motivation, eliminating the spatiotemporal constraints of clinical education, and alleviating teachers′ workloads. Nevertheless, the application of artificial intelligence in personalized medical education still faces multiple challenges, such as issues of data quality and reliability, the need for faculty development, shifts in educational paradigms, and ethical considerations. This study explored the current status of artificial intelligence in personalized medical education and offered recommendations to promote its development, including strengthening the integration of technology and education, enhancing the digital literacy of educators, establishing ethical guidelines, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration.

In traditional teaching, medical students have limited opportunities to interact with patients, which constrains the development of their clinical skills. Virtual standardized patients offer a potential solution to this limitation. This article analyzes the advantages of virtual standardized patients and their application in clinical teaching.

Medical students often struggle to understand and master the relevant knowledge and skills in teaching, especially in surgical teaching. Emerging 3D printing technology can help students to understand and master surgical techniques. The problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method helps students to develop their independent thinking and teamwork skills. The combination of these methods has already achieved significant success. Therefore, this article discusses the application and combining 3D printing technology with the PBL teaching method in medical teaching, particularly in urological surgery education, and provides new ideas and references for future, more diverse, and high-tech medical education.

Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

Functional dyspepsia(FD)is a common functional gastrointestinal disease in clinical practice,which has the characteristics of high incidence,difficult to cure,and recurrence.FD belongs to the categories of"ruffian"and"stomach pain"in TCM,and the disease is located in the stomach,which is closely related to the liver and spleen,and the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency is the most common.This article summarized the literature related to the TCM treatment for FD with liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome,and concluded the clinical application,efficacy characteristics and mechanism,so as to provide reference for clinical treatment and basic research.The analysis found that the clinical efficacy of TCM in the treatment of FD is significant,which can not only improve the digestive symptoms of patients,but also improve their anxiety and depression state and daily life quality,and has the characteristics of overall regulation,syndrome differentiation and treatment,and improvement of physical fitness.Its mechanism may involve multiple pathways and levels such as abnormal gastric motility,abnormal brain-intestinal interaction and immune inflammatory response.
