The new synergistic education model integrating the “five arts” medical talent cultivation philosophy and the red doctor spirit could form a virtuous cycle of “spiritual guidance-technological breakthrough-spiritual reshaping” in the field of military medical education. Addressing the existing challenges in the process of military medical cadets’ training， such as mission awareness， humanistic care， battlefield rescue， and emergency response， this study proposed integrating the red doctor spirit， characterized by political steadfastness， healing the wounded and rescuing the dying， selfless devotion， relentless pursuit of excellence， and seeking truth and innovation， into the training system under the guidance of the “five arts” philosophy， including establishing a foundation through Daoist arts， forging the soul with benevolence， empowering through academia， tempering through technology， and nurturing the mind through artistry. A cultivation model was constructed featuring “moral education as the priority and cultivating through soul-forging； military spirit as the root and medical professionalism as the foundation and training for warfare； mastery in medicine for battlefield success and cultivating talent through rigorous scholarship.” Furthermore， through pathways including the optimization and implementation of the curriculum system， the enhancement and innovation of practical teaching， the development and training of the faculty team， and the improvement and innovation of the evaluation system， this model assisted in achieve the goal of cultivating compound talents with “the red medicine essence plus the five arts foundation.” These talents also built their foundation on the “five arts” philosophy， forge their spirit with the red doctor spirit， and was tempered with battlefield adaptability.

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that the occurrence and severity of respiratory diseases in children are related to the concentration of air pollutants. Nonetheless, evidence regarding the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in children remains limited. Outpatients cover a wide range of disease severity, including both severe and mild cases, some of which may need to be transferred to inpatient treatment. This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the impact of short-term ambient air pollution exposure on outpatient visits for respiratory conditions in children. METHODS: This study employed data of the Second People's Hospital of Yichang from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2023, to conduct a time series analysis. The DLNM approach was integrated with a generalized additive model to examine the daily outpatient visits of pediatric patients with respiratory illnesses in hospital, alongside air pollution data obtained from monitoring stations. Adjustments were made for long-term trends, meteorological variables, and other influencing factors. RESULTS: A nonlinear association was identified between PM_2.5, PM₁₀, O₃, NO₂, SO₂, CO levels and the daily outpatient visits for respiratory diseases among children. All six pollutants exhibit a hysteresis impact, with varying durations ranging from 4 to 6 days. The risks associated with air pollutants differ across various categories of children's respiratory diseases; notably, O₃ and CO do not show statistical significance concerning the risk of chronic respiratory conditions. Furthermore, the results of infectious respiratory diseases were similar with those of respiratory diseases. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that short-term exposure to air pollutants may contribute to an increased incidence of outpatient visits for respiratory illnesses among children, and controlling air pollution is important to protect children's health.

Objective:To analyze the hearing outcomes of high-risk children of diabetic mothers, especially in the subtypes of pre-pregnancy diabetes and gestational diabetes, in order to provide some reference for clinical practice. Methods:The basic characteristics and hearing levels of children whose mothers had a history of diabetes during pregnancy and underwent audiological diagnosis and evaluation at our hospital's Children's Hearing Diagnosis Center from January 2003 to June 2024 were analyzed. T-tests, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests were used for inter-group comparisons, with a significance level set at P<0.05. Results:A total of 285 children（570 ears） of diabetic mothers were included. Hearing loss was found in 310 ears, and the incidence of hearing loss was 54.39%（310/570）. The mean ABR threshold in the pregestational diabetes group was（50.01±29.29） dB HL, while that in the gestational diabetes group was（44.13±26.19） dB HL. The degree of hearing loss in the pregestational diabetes group was more severe than that in the gestational diabetes group（χ²=10.000, P=0.019）. Conclusion:Maternal history of diabetes may be one of the risk factors for hearing loss in their offspring, and the risk of hearing loss in children whose mothers had diabetes before pregnancy may be higher than that in the gestational diabetes group. It is suggested that the clinical practice should pay attention to the monitoring and follow-up management of the hearing status of such children, so as to improve the auditory outcomes of children born to diabetic mothers.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss（SSHL） accompanying diabetes mellitus, to explore whether diabetes affects the treatment outcomes during hospitalization, and to identify the factors influencing the efficacy of SSHL patients with diabetes. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 939 patients with SSHL. The baseline characteristics, and onset conditions of the diabetes group（79 cases） and the non-diabetes group（860 cases） were compared. Propensity score matching（PSM） was applied in a 1︰ 2 ratio to match initial hearing levels with baseline characteristics such as age, sex, and BMI, resulting in 73 diabetes cases and 144 non-diabetes cases for treatment efficacy comparison. For the analysis of prognostic factors, a logistic regression model was established based on the treatment outcomes of 217 patients with SSHL. Results:The proportion of SSHL patients accompanying diabetes was 8.40%（79/939）. Compared to non-diabetic patients, those with diabetes were older（median age of 53 years in the diabetes group and 39 years in the non-diabetes group） and had a higher proportion of hypertension（43.04% vs 12.67%）, with significant difference observed（P<0.05）. After PSM, the treatment efficacy during hospitalization was better in the diabetes group than in the non-diabetes group（58.90% vs 47.92%）, although the difference was not statistically significant（P>0.05）. The prognosis of patients with SSNHL accompanied by diabetes was analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model that included age, HDL-C, and INR as variables; however, no statistically significant differences were found（P>0.05）. Conclusion:Patients with SSHL accompanying diabetes are generally older with a higher incidence of hypertension. The presence of diabetes does not affect the treatment outcomes during hospitalization.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, audiological outcomes, and factors influencing the efficacy of pharmacological treatment in patients with sudden hearing loss associated with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome（LVAS）. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 77 bilateral LVAS patients（117 ears） hospitalized for sudden hearing loss from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2023. The inclusion criteria required that patients to be diagnosed according to the Valvassori standard and had received standardized pharmacological treatment. Clinical features, audiological outcomes, and treatment efficacy were analyzed. Statistical methods were employed to identify factors associated with treatment outcomes. Results:The age of the enrolled patients ranged from 4 to 37 years. The age of onset for the initial hearing fluctuation varied between 0 and 24 years, with a mean age of 5.8 years. The male-to-female ratio was approximately balanced（37 males and 40 females）. The proportion of unilateral to bilateral sudden hearing loss was 1.0︰1.2, with unilateral right ear hearing loss being more frequently occurring（64.9%）. Triggering Factors: Triggers included no identifiable factors in 48.1% of cases, a history of head trauma（24.7%）, upper respiratory tract infections（11.7%）, onset following physical fatigue（11.7%）, and less frequently, noise exposure, alcohol consumption, or emotional stress（each 1.3%）. Clinical Symptoms: Hearing loss was the sole symptom in 35.1% of cases. Concurrent symptoms included vertigo in 44.2% and tinnitus in 46.8%. Patients with a disease duration of ≤14 days demonstrated a treatment efficacy rate of 75.0%. Among those who responded to treatment, 93.0% had profound or greater hearing loss prior to therapy, with an average improvement in hearing thresholds of 32 dB HL. In pretreatment, 68.9% of patients exhibited low-frequency air-bone gaps, increasing to 76.1% post-treatment. Additionally, 17.6% of treated ears demonstrated a ≥15 dB HL improvement in low-frequency bone conduction thresholds. In the non-responsive group, 7.3% of ears still showed some improvement in bone conduction thresholds. Statistically significant differences（P<0.05） were observed between the treatment-effective and non-effective groups concerning the age of initial hearing fluctuation, disease duration, and severity of hearing loss at onset. Conclusion:The efficacy of pharmacological treatment for sudden hearing loss in LVAS patients is influenced by the age at onset, duration of the disease, and severity of hearing impairment. Early diagnosis and timely intervention significantly enhance treatment efficacy, particularly in patients with a disease duration of ≤14 days and an initial sudden hearing loss. Patients with severe hearing loss, especially those with profound or greater impairment, exhibit greater sensitivity to treatment. Pharmacological interventions positively impact both air conduction and bone conduction thresholds, with the observed improvement in bone conduction thresholds warranting further investigation.

Objective:To explore relevant factors to accurately diagnose BPPV in vertigo children. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the proportion of BPPV in children（<18 years） with vertigo who visited the Hearing and Vertigo Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from September 2017 to August 2023. The clinical characteristics of BPPV children, including general demographics, medical history, first visit department, comorbidities, canal involvement, response to treatment, and incidence of recurrence, were analyzed. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 software. Results:BPPV was diagnosed in 22.8% of patients seen for vertigo during the study period. There are differences in the proportion of BPPV diagnosis among children with dizziness in different age groups（P<0.05）, and the diagnosis of BPPV in the 7-12-year-old group has a longer disease course than in the 13-17-year-old group（P<0.05）. 72.3%（47/65） of patients or their families were able to provide a typical history of positional vertigo. 49.2%（32/65） of BPPV patients had comorbidities, and there were differences in the proportion of comorbidities among different age groups of BPPV patients（P<0.05）. With the progress of study, the proportion of BPPV in children with vertigo has shown an upward trend, and the proportion of children with otolaryngology as the first diagnosis department has also increased（P<0.05）. The proportion of horizontal semicircular canals in children with BPPV has increased. All BPPV patients underwent canalith repositioning maneuvers, with good treatment outcomes and a recurrence rate of 12.3%（8/65）. The recurrence rate in the group of BPPV patients with comorbidities was 21.9%, which was higher than that in the group without comorbidities（P<0.05）. Conclusion:Childhood BPPV has clinical characteristics such as unclear medical history, high proportion of comorbidities, easy recurrence in BPPV children with comorbidities and high proportion of horizontal semicircular canal involvement. For children diagnosed with other vertigo diseases, do not ignore the BPPV diagnostic test. It is recommended to perform routine position tests on children with vertigo if conditions permit to reduce missed diagnosis of BPPV in children.

Bone defect repair is an urgent problem in the field of orthopedics,and numerous researchers are working to develop more effective treatment plans.The accurate evaluation of bone repair after surgery is a crucial step.In line with the development of computed tomography(CT)imaging,dual-energy CT imaging has shown significant advantages in analyzing bone composition and reducing metal artifacts.This article reviews the application of dual-energy CT imaging for the evaluation of bone repair in animals.

This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 9 recipients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after liver transplantation admitted to the Organ Transplantation Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2020 to June 2024, and summarized their clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment regimens, and prognostic conditions, so as to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the differential impact of ultra-high-resolution photon-counting detector CT (UHR PCD-CT) and energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) on image quality and calcified plaque-induced luminal stenosis in coronary CT angiography (CCTA).Methods:This retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent both EID-CT and UHR PCD-CT CCTA at the Geriatric Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2021 and November 2024. A total of 141 patients were included in the study, within 46 patients having scans within a 12-month interval. Image quality of all coronary artery segments was subjectively evaluated. Patients with paired scans (interval≤12 months) were included for calcified plaque analysis. Subjective visualization of calcified plaques evaluated. The blooming artifact was calculated as an objective evaluation index for assessing the calcified plaques. Additionally, the degree of coronary artery lumen stenosis resulting from calcified plaques was assessed, along with the measurement of plaque volume and the Agatston score. Changes in lumen stenosis between the two scans were also evaluated. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the subjective scores of coronary artery image quality and calcified plaques between the two groups, and paired-sample t-tests were used to compare the blooming artifact and lumen stenosis degree. Results:The PCD-CT image quality score was significantly higher than that of EID-CT [PCD-CT : 5 (4,5), EID-CT: 4 (4,5); Z=-21.38, P<0.001]. Compared to EID-CT, PCD-CT reduced the blooming artifact (PCD-CT: 38.88%±9.09%, EID-CT: 50.11%±11.52%; t=-12.97, P<0.001), significantly improving the subjective score for visualization of calcified plaques [PCD-CT: 5 (4,5), EID-CT: 3 (2,3); Z=-9.68, P<0.001], and the measured lumen stenosis was notably lower in PCD-CT(PCD-CT:34.88%±18.20%, EID-CT:45.31%±23.42%; t=-9.93, P<0.001). Among 129 analyzed calcified plaques, luminal stenosis was reduced on PCD-CT in 110 plaques (85.3%) and increased in 19 (14.7%), including 4 plaques that had unclear boundaries with the adjacent lumen in EID-CT CCTA images, making the stenosis difficult to assess. Conclusion:Compared to EID-CT, UHR PCD-CT for CCTA significantly improves coronary artery image quality, provides clearer visualization of calcified plaques and adjacent lumen details, and it can reduce the overestimation of coronary artery caleified plaque stenosis.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)on adolescent depression patients with non-suicidal self-injury.Methods A total of 60 adolescent depression patients with non-suicidal self-injury treated in Guilin Mental Health Center from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as study objects,and they were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.Patients in control group received routine nursing,and patients in observation group received ACT intervention at the same time of routine nursing.Both groups received intervention for 6 weeks.The scores of self-rating depression scale(SDS),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),nurses's global assessment of suicide risk(NGASR),acceptance and action questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ)and cognitive fusion questionnaire(CFQ)before and after treatment were compared between two groups.Results After the intervention,the scores of SDS,SAS,NGASR,AAQ-Ⅱ and CFQ in observation group were significantly lower than before the intervention(P＜0.05).The NGASR score of observation group was significantly lower than that of control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in SDS,SAS,AAQ-Ⅱ and CFQ scores between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion ACT can effectively improve the non-suicidal self-injury behavior of patients,help patients improve psychological flexibility,and is conducive to depression treatment.
