Chinese Medical Ethics 2025;38(7):874-878
With the deepening development of digital technology empowering medical students’ education of the red doctor spirit, the subject of education of the red doctor spirit has transformed from single to multiple, the educational field has shifted from unidimensional to multi-dimensional, and the educational carrier has transitioned from physical to digital. In this process, digital technology has optimized the scope, media, channels, tools, contents, and other aspects of the education of the red doctor spirit. However, it has also increased the risks of fragmentation, vulgarization, and marginalization of medical students’ education of the red doctor spirit. To this end, it is essential to uphold the principle of prioritizing data security to ensure that the content of red spirit education for medical students remains authentic; to integrate technological tools with core values to ensure that its nature remains unaltered; and to maintain the unity between subjects and objects to ensure that its effectiveness is more significant.

In the era of deep technologization with the flourishing development of newquality productive forces, China’s medical science and technology innovation has transitioned from “following” to “leading”, and the ethical governance environment of medical science and technology has undergone profound changes. However, the traditional ethical governance system of medical science and technology faces several issues, such as outdated ethical governance concepts, inadequate ethical norms, excessive hidden ethical risks, and numerous loopholes in governance systems, which fail to effectively respond to the diverse and complex ethical risk challenges. To this end, it is essential to promote the transformation of ethical governance thinking in medical science and technology based on the reality of newquality productivity forces and deep technologization, as well as to shift unilateral, extensive, and single governance into comprehensive, precise, and early-warning governance. Additionally, it is necessary to cultivate an ethical governance concept that prioritizes ethics and prevention, establish a diverse and collaborative ethical governance model, set up a prevention mechanism focused on major ethical risks, as well as enhance the systems of ethical communication, review, and feedback in medical science and technology.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of robot-assisted surgery in children with cholangiectasis under 3 months of age.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 53 children with cholangiectasis under 3 months admitted to Department of General Surgery of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from April 2019 to December 2024 were included retrospectively. According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into robot-assisted surgery(RAS) group(5 males, 24 females, age ( M(IQR)) 49.0(36.0)days (range: 19.0 to 90.0 days), weight 5.00(1.65)kg (range: 3.40 to 7.50 kg)) and laparoscopic-assisted surgery(LAS) group (5 males, 19 females, age 55.5(27.3)days (range: 18.0 to 87.0 days), weight 4.90 (1.62)kg (range: 3.50 to 6.20 kg)). Nineteen cases in each group were prenatally diagnosed. Data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Pearson χ 2 test, respectively. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in age, sex, weight, or preoperative biochemical indices(all P>0.05). All procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. Postoperative biochemical indices, fasting duration, cyst diameter, operative time, drainage tube retention time, and follow-up duration showed no significant differences between the groups(all P>0.05). Compared to the LAS group, the RAS group demonstrated significantly shorter postoperative hospital stays (9.0(5.0)days (range:7.0 to 18.0 days) vs. 11.5(5.5)days (range:7.0 to 38.0 days), U=236.5, P=0.044) and hepaticojejunostomy time (15.0(3.5)minutes (range:11.0 to 22.0 minutes) vs. 18.0(3.0)minutes (range:13.0 to 25.0 minutes), U=144.5, P=0.001). However, the RAS group incurred higher surgical costs (78 099.9(10 100.1)yuan (range: 72 148.7 to 112 898.6 yuan) vs. 30 158.6(15 283.1)yuan (range: 25 041.7 to 107 673.1 yuan), U=41.0, P<0.01). In the LAS group, 3 patients developed anastomotic leakage requiring reoperation, while the RAS group had 1 case of anastomotic stenosis 2 years postoperatively (received second hepaticojejunostomy) and 1 case of incision infection(received incision debridement and dressing of the abscess). Conclusion:Robot-assisted surgery can be used to treat children with cholangiectasis under 3 months of age and may achieve good results.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Buzhong Yulin Decoction (补中愈淋汤) in the prevention and treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection. MethodsThe mouse models of recurrent urinary tract infection were established by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain UTI89 by bladder perfusion, and the successful mouse models were randomly divided into a model group, an antibiotic group, and a low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction group, with six mice in each group. In addition, 5 C57BL/6 mice without modelling were taken as blank group. The low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups received 0.1 ml/10 g of decoction by gavage, with concentrations of 1.3 g/ml and 5.2 g/ml, respectively; the antibiotic group received 0.1 ml/10 g of levofloxacin hydrochloride solution with 5 mg/ml by gavage; the blank and model groups received 0.1 ml/10 g of distilled water by gavage. Each group was gavaged once a day for 7 consecutive days. The total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, and the total urine volume of the urine marks were observed by the urine marking test; HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the bladder of mice; serum levels of the inflammatory factors interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected by ELISA; the morphology of the epithelial cells of bladder was observed by scanning electron microscopy; immunofluorescence assay to detect bladder tissue anti-UroPlakin 3A protein level and UPEC bacterial load; the spread plate method to detect urinary bacterial load and bacterial load of bladder epithelial cells; RT-PCR method to detect Ras-related protein Rab-11A (RAB11A) and Ras-related protein Rab-27B (RAB27B) mRNA level in bladder tissue; immunoblotting to detect microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain3 (LC3) and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the bladder epithelial cell layers were lost and showed abnormal morphology in mice of the model group; bladder tissue UroPlakin 3A protein and RAB11A and RAB27B mRNA levels reduced, the total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, bladder tissue UPEC bacterial load, urinary bacterial load, bacterial load in bladder epithelial cells, serum IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, and LC3 and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue all elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the bladder epithelial cell layers were intact and the morphology of epithelial cells were regular in the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups; the average surface area of bladder epithelial cells reduced, the levels of UroPlakin 3A protein and RAB11A and RAB27B mRNA in bladder tissues elevated, and total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, bladder tissue UPEC bacterial load, urinary bacterial load, bacterial load in bladder epithelial cells, serum IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue all reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but LC3 protein levels showed no statistically significant (P>0.05). In the antibiotic group, the bladder epithelial cells were partially missing and the morphology of epithelial cells was abnormal. Compared with the antibiotic group, the average surface area of the bladder epithelial cells in the mice increased in the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups, the bacterial load of the bladder epithelial cells decreased, and the P62 protein level of the bladder tissue decreased (P<0.05). When comparing between the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups, the differences in each index were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionBuzhong Yulin Decoction may prevent and treat recurrent urinary tract infection by repairing the bladder mucosal barrier, increasing RAB11A and RAB27B level and enhancing autophagy in bladder tissues, thereby facilitating bacterial clearance from bladder epithelial cells and reducing the bacterial load of bladder epithelial cells.

【Objective】 To explore the expression and clinical significance of prostate cancer tissue-specific lncRNAs. 【Methods】 The gene differences of 492 prostate cancer tissues and 152 adjacent tissues in TCGA and GEO genomic databases were analyzed with bioinformatics methods. A total of 5 lncRNAs were screened out, and their specificity in prostate tissues and impact on the prognosis of patients were analyzed. 【Results】 The 5 lncRNAs included PCAT14, PCA3, CTBP1-AS, DRAIC, and GPC5-AS1. PCAT14 and PCA3 were specifically expressed in prostate cancer tissues, and elevated expression was related to the prognosis. Moreover, they were well correlated with prostate cancer-specific antigens such as KLK3, AMACR, SLC45A3, and so on. GO function enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the differential expression of PCA3 was closely related to phagocytosis, cell recognition, defense response to bacteria, immunoglobulin complex, Golgi apparatus, antigen binding, chemokine receptor binding, white matter digestion and absorption, renin-angiotensin system and other signaling pathways, while the differential expression of PCAT14 was closely related to the activity of Golgi apparatus and ion channels, renin secretion, cAMP signaling pathway, and gonadotropin secretion-related signaling pathway. 【Conclusion】 PCA3 and PCAT14 are specifically expressed in prostate cancer tissues, not in normal tissues, which can be used as potential indicators for the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
