Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual case teaching integrating standardized patients (SP) and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in enhancing students' clinical thinking and practical skills in experimental exercise therapy course.Methods:In April 2023, 52 students from the 2021 cohort and 54 students from the 2022 cohort of the Rehabilitation Therapy undergraduate program at Xinjiang Medical University were selected and divided into the experimental group and control group according to their classes. In the shoulder joint mobilization experimental class of the exercise therapy course, virtual SP teaching was performed in the experimental group of both cohorts. For the control group, student-led SP teaching was performed in the 2021 cohort, while the traditional "lecture + demonstration" method was used in the 2022 cohort. Upon completion of teaching, theoretical exams, case analysis, practical exams, and a teaching satisfaction survey were conducted on the students. Data were analyzed using the t-test and chi-square test in SPSS 25.0. Results:In both cohorts, the experimental group had similar theoretical exam scores ( P=0.207 and P=0.097, respectively) to the control group, but had higher practical exam scores ( P=0.013 and P=0.002, respectively) than the control group. In the case analysis exam, the experimental group scored higher than the control group in the 2022 cohort ( t=2.84, P=0.006) but similarly to the control group in the 2021 cohort ( t=1.53, P=0.132). All students believed that virtual SP teaching was most engaging. In terms of understanding complex concepts, increasing active participation, and fostering clinical thinking, the 2022 cohort was more satisfied with virtual SP teaching, whereas the 2021 cohort experienced no significant difference between virtual SP teaching and student-led SP teaching. In addition, the 2021 cohort found that student-led SP teaching was more helpful for improving doctor-patient communication skills. Conclusions:The application of virtual SP teaching in the experimental exercise therapy course effectively enhances students' practical skills and case analysis capabilities, contributing greatly to their overall clinical management thinking.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical and prognostic features of hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) during pregnancy. MethodsA total of 77 patients with acute pancreatitis in pregnancy who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2013 to June 2020 were enrolled as subjects, and according to the presence or absence of HTGP, they were divided into HTGP group with 38 patients and non-HTGP group with 39 patients. The two groups were compared in terms of the clinical features including age, pregnancy, laboratory markers, complication, and prognostic indices. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of ranked data between two groups. According to the trimester of pregnancy, the patients were divided into early pregnancy group with 4 patients, middle pregnancy group with 14 patients, and late pregnancy with 59 patients, and blood lipid levels were compared between groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between two groups or within each group. ResultsCompared with the non-HTGP group, the HTGP group had significantly higher mean age (t=-3.000, P=0.004) and proportion of patients with diabetes (χ2=8.867, P=0.003). Compared with the non-HTGP group, the HTGP group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with disease onset in the third trimester (P＜0.001) and a significantly lower serum level of sodium (Z=-6.328, P＜0.001). Compared with the non-HTGP group, the HTGP group had significantly higher incidence rates of acute peripancreatic fluid collection (76.3% vs 33.3%, χ2=14.342, P＜0.001) and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (81.6% vs 410%, χ2=13.310, P＜0.001). There were significant differences between the two groups in the length of hospital stay, the rate of admission to the intensive care unit, and hospital costs (Z=-2.077, χ2=11.537, Z=-3.525, all P＜0.05). The levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride in the third trimester were significantly higher than those in middle pregnancy (both P＜0.05). ConclusionCompared with the non-HTGP group, the HTGP group has a higher proportion of patients with disease onset in the third trimester of pregnancy, a higher risk of complications, a longer length of hospital stay, and higher hospital costs.

Objective: To investigate the effect of overexpression of Notch intracellular domain (NICD) on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSC). Methods: The third generation hPDLSC with stable overexpressing of NICD were assigned as experimental group, normal hPDLSC were as negative control group and hPDLSC transfected with empty vector were as blank control group. The effect of overexpressing NICD on proliferation ability of hPDLSC was detected by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Alizarin Red staining and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) were used to detect the effects of NICD on cementum attachment proteins (CAP), osteocalcin (OCN), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and Notch signal pathway receptor Notch1. The effect of overexpressing NICD on hPDLSC osteogenic protein RUNX2 and flag marker protein (used to label NICD) were detected by using Western blotting. Results: CCK-8 results showed that there were no significant differences in A values amongst the three groups for 1-2 days (P>0.05). The number of cells in the experimental group was significantly increase than that of the two control groups from the third to seventh days (A values were 0.203±0.016, 0.364±0.014, 0.449±0.020, 0.549±0.020 and 0.570±0.020, respectively) (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining showed that compared with the blank control group and negative control group, the mineralized nodules in the experimental group had smaller formation range and lighter color, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expressions of CAP gene (0.751±0.058, 0.887±0.025), osteocalcin gene (0.592±0.051, 0.670±0.045) and RUNX2 gene (0.319±0.038, 0.684±0.055) at 14 and 21 days in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group respectively (P<0.05). However, the expression levels of Notch1 gene at 14 and 21 days (2.507±0.047, 4.041±0.219) were significantly higher than those of negative and blank control groups (P<0.05). The results of Western blotting showed that the expressions of flag marker protein (0.167±0.007, 0.204±0.010) at 14 and 21 days in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the negative and blank control groups (P<0.05). However, the expressions of RUNX2 protein (0.075±0.006, 0.074±0.013) at 14 and 21 days were significantly lower than that in the negative control group (0.092±0.003, 0.118±0.008) and blank control group (0.174±0.006, 0.212±0.008) (P<0.05). Conclusions Overexpression of NICD can promote the proliferation capacity of hPDLSC and inhibit its osteogenic differentiation.

Objective To explore the short-term prognosis of tirofiban hydrochloride on the patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and the influence of tirofiban hydrochloride on myocardial biomarkers. Methods 334 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were choosen. They were divided into two groups, 167 cases in each group. Tirofiban hydrochloride was used in the experimental group, and conventional therapy was carried out for control group. Compared the biochemical indexes, myocardial biomarkers and cardiac function of the two groups. Results The effective rate of experimental group was 165 cases (98.80%), which was higher than 150 cases (89.82%) in the control group (χ2=12.556,P<0.05). After treatment, the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in experimental group was lower than control group (P<0.05). The levels of left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular endsystolic volume (LVESV) significantly decreased and the level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased in experimental group compared with those in control group(P<0.05).The global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) after treatment in experimental group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The hyporrhea of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) in experimental group were 5 cases (2.99%), which was lower than 19 cases (11.38%) in control group (χ2=8.799,P<0.05). After 12 months, the attack frequency of angina in experimental group was (1.78±0.78)times, which was lower than (2.56±1.04) times in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction should be diagnosed as soon as possible and take treatment strategies according to individual situation to chose suitable dosage of tirofiban hydrochloride for good therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the influence of interferon-a therapy on CD8 T memory subsets in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and correlation between the effect of IFN-α and CD8 T memory subsets. Methods Blood samples from 57 patients with CHB were collected before treatment (0 week), at 12 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment with pegylated IFN-α. Assays were performed on freshly isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs). For phenotype analysis, All data were acquired on a flow cytometer instrument and prepared for analysis. Results A significantly higher frequency of CD8+ TEM and lower frequency of CD8+ TCM in inactive HBsAg carriers than that in CHB patients prior to treatment was observed (P <0.05). The proportion of CD8 + TCM was higher in group nonresponders than in group respond-ers, and the proportion of CD8 + TEM was lower in group nonresponders than in group responders (P < 0.05 ). The average dosage of IFN-α applied to patients with response was significantly higher than nonresponders. Conclusion The dominance of circulating effector memory T cells may be associated with elimination of viral infection, and possibly benefit for response to therapy with IFN-α.
