Objective:To explore and evaluate the optimization and application of case-based learning (CBL) in the reform practice for integrated curriculum of the digestive system.Methods:The 174 undergraduate students majoring in eight-year clinical medicine enrolled in 2019 at the Peking University Health Science Center were selected as research objects. CBL was used in the integration and optimization of the digestive system curriculum. These included increasing class hours, selecting disease modules, lesson preparation involving multi-disciplinary teachers, and joint teaching. Upon completion of teaching, a comprehensive evaluation of teaching effectiveness was conducted through questionnaires administrated to teachers and students, feedback from supervision experts, and scores of students. SPSS 21.0 was used for the t-test and a reliability analysis was conducted on the questionnaire results. Results:Teachers, students, and supervision experts were highly satisfied with CBL. More than 95% of teachers believed that joint teaching facilitated the sharing of diverse professional knowledge among teachers, enhanced the in-depth instruction of imaging knowledge, promoted the transformation of teaching ideas, and improved teaching ability. More than 70% of students agreed that joint teaching deepened their understanding of diseases, stimulated learning interest, and established a theoretical foundation for clinical practice. The average score of class performance was (47.60±2.41) points (a total score of 50 points). The answers of students to case-based questions in final exams were satisfactory. The average score of final evaluation was (82.24±8.82) points.Conclusions:The optimization and application of CBL in the integrated curriculum of the digestive system is highly accepted by teachers and students. This method improves the interest of learning and facilitates the establishment of overall medical thinking and clinical thinking in students.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiaoqinglong Decoction Granules in the treatment of chronic persistent cold syndrome of bronchial asthma; To explore its treatment mechanism.Methods:A randomized double-blind controlled study was performed. Totally 60 patients from the Respiratory Department of Guang'anmen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the observation subjects. They were divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional treatment plus placebo, and the experimental group was given conventional treatment plus Xiaoqinglong Decoction Granules. The treatment for both group lasted for 14d. TCM syndromes and clinical symptoms before and after treatment were scored. Asthma Control Test Questionnaire (ACT) was used to evaluate asthma control status, and the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (Mini AQLQ) was used to evaluate the physiological and psychological effects of asthma on patients; FEV1 was detected using a German Jaeger lung function instrument FEV1/FVC. A exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) detection instrument was used to observe the changes in FeNO at a flow rate of 50 ml/s, and non-targeted metabolomics analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS); adverse reactions were observed during treatment and drug safety was evaluated.Results:Eventually 47 cases were included, 24 cases of test group and of 23 cases of control group. Xiaoqinglong Decoction Granules could reduce the TCM syndrome score of patients with chronic duration cold syndrome of asthma ( P<0.05). 2 weeks after treatment, follow up for 4 weeks experimental group clinical symptom score [3.00(1.00,4.00),3.00(0.00,4.00) vs. 3.5(3.00,5.00), Z=8.62], breathing symptom scores [1.00(0.00,1.00),1.00(0.00,1.00) vs. 1.00(0.75,2.00), Z=6.80], cough symptom score [0.50(0.00,1.00),1.00(0.00,1.00) vs. 1.00(0.00,1.25), Z=6.12] were lower than those in the experimental group before treatment in the same group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). The ACT score of the experimental group at 4 weeks of follow-up was [22.50 (21.00, 24.00) vs. 9.00 (15.00, 21.50), Z=-4.87], Mini AQLQ score (78.5 ± 12.46 vs. 71.27 ± 9.70, t=-2.46) and the control group had an ACT score of [24.00 (19.00, 25.00) vs. 21.5 (8.00, 23.00) Z=-3.18] at 4 weeks of follow-up was higher than before treatment in the same group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). The experimental group was followed up for 4 weeks with a FEV1 of [2.96 (2.27, 3.49) L vs. 2.60 (2.32, 3.49) L, Z=-3.72], FEV1/FVC [(80.83 ± 6.84)% vs. (77.46 ± 8.15)%, t=-2.32] and FeNO [24.00 (12.50, 31.00) ppb vs. 30.00 (17.00, 91.00) ppb, Z=-3.72] was higher than before treatment in the same group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Through LC-MS technique analysis, there were 75 kinds of different metabolites between the experimental group before and after treatment, and 295 kinds of different metabolites between the control group and the experimental group after treatment. Further intersection of differential metabolites showed that they were mainly concentrated in histidine metabolic pathway, phosphonate metabolic pathway and phosphate metabolic pathway. Related metabolites 2-aminoethyl phosphonate and thiomalonic acid were involved. Conclusions:Xiaoqinglong Decoction Granules can effectively improve the TCM syndrome and clinical symptoms of patients with chronic persistent cold syndrome of asthma, especially for wheezing, cough and chest tightness, which can improve the levels of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in patients and effectively reduce FeNO. Through metabolomics studies, it is speculated that Xiaoqinglong Decoction Granules may play a role in the treatment of asthma by regulating histidine metabolism pathway through thiomalonic acid.

Objective To analyze the clinical,pathological,and endoscopic features of differentiated early gastric cancer,and to study predictors to identify and screen high risk patients with early gastric cancer submucosal infiltration.Methods A total of 172 patients with differentiated early gastric cancer treated by surgical or endoscopic submucosal dissection in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2022 were included,which were divided into the mucosal layer group(144 patients)and submucosal layer group(28 patients)based on postoperative pathology.The clinical,pathological,and white-light endoscopy(WLE)and linked color imaging(LCI)features of the 2 groups were compared.The color difference between the lesion and the surrounding mucosa was evaluated by using the Commission International de L'Eclairage(CIE)L*a*b*system.Indicators with significant differences were included to multifactor logistic stepwise regression analysis(forward method)for the identification and screening of predictors.Results A history of alcohol consumption(P=0.037),a history of smoking(P=0.035),thickening of the gastric wall on enhanced CT(P=0.032),a lesion located in the upper 1/3(P＜0.001)or middle 1/3(P=0.009)part of the stomach,depressed macroscopic type(P＜0.001),marked margin elevation(P=0.003),presence of fold changes(P=0.006),color difference ≥12.3 under WLE(P=0.003)and≥18.2 under LCI(P=0.002)were associated with submucosal infiltration.Multivariate analysis showed that lesions located in the upper 2/3 portion of the stomach(OR=5.463,95％CI:2.562-11.648,P＜0.001),depressed macroscopic type(OR=5.992,95％CI:1.624-22.100,P=0.007),marked margin elevation(OR=4.338,95％CI:1.124-16.747,P=0.033),and color difference ≥18.2 under LCI(OR=4.675,95％CI:1.342-16.288,P=0.015)were independent risk factors for infiltration of submucosal layer of lesions.Conclusion Lesions with depressed macroscopic type,marked elevated margins,located in the upper 2/3 part of the stomach,and having a large color difference from the surrounding mucosa under LCI are high-risk lesions for submucosal infiltration and require more aggressive intervention.

Bluetongue virus(BTV)is classified as a category Ⅱ animal epidemic disease in China,infecting multiple species and posing significant threats to the ruminant breeding industry.There are 29 serotypes of BTV,with BTV16 being one of the major serotypes currently prevalent in Chi-na.Bluetongue virus infection mainly manifests as a latent infection,making the establishment of ELISA assays crucial for epidemiological detection.In this study;the expression of the BTV16 VP2 protein was achieved using a prokaryotic expression system,and polyclonal antibodies were pre-pared using BALB/c mice.An indirect ELISA assay using VP2 protein as the encapsulated antigen was established and optimized.Clinical samples from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were tested and analyzed for compliance with commercial kits.The results showed that the BTV16 VP2 protein was successfully expressed and purified,and the prepared polyclonal antibody exhibi-ted good immunogenicity.The ELISA assay had good specificity,with no cross-reactivity against ruminant diseases such as AKAV,FMDV and GETV.The critical values for negativity and positivity were determined to be 0.314,and the coefficients of variation(Cv)between batches and within batches were both less than 5％,indicating good reproducibility.The ELISA assay revealed a positive rate of 92.4％for 79 samples from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,with a compliance rate of 98.7％when compared to the commercialized kit.In conclusion,this study suc-cessfully established an indirect ELISA method for BTV16,facilitating the detection of bovine clin-ical samples.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) combined with systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for coronary heart disease risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A prospective study was performed, 130 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus from May 2018 to May 2021 in the People′s Hospital of Pengzhou were selected. All patients underwent coronary angiography examination, and 49 cases were complicated with coronary heart disease (coronary heart disease group), 81 cases were not complicated with coronary heart disease (non-coronary heart disease group). The clinical data were recorded; the white blood cell, monocyte, platelet, neutrophils, lymphocyte, hemoglobin, total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting blood glucose, C-reactive protein (CRP), glycated hemoglobin and Lp-PLA2 were detected; and the SII was calculated. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; the efficacy of Lp-PLA2 and SII in predicting the coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Results:There were no statistical differences in white blood cell, hemoglobin, TC, TG, LDL-C, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and CRP between two groups ( P>0.05); the monocyte, platelet, neutrophils, Lp-PLA2 and SII in coronary heart disease group were significantly higher than those in the non-coronary heart disease group: (0.55 ± 0.22) × 10 9/L vs. (0.40 ± 0.11) × 10 9/L, (227.84 ± 40.76) × 10 9/L vs. (205.81 ± 39.04) × 10 9/L, (6.78 ± 1.45) × 10 9/L vs. (6.30 ± 1.18) × 10 9/L, (240.67 ± 41.48) μg/L vs. (214.83 ± 36.35) μg/L and 1 245.76 ± 383.08 vs. 929.84 ± 260.27, the lymphocyte and HDL-C were significantly lower than those in the non-coronary heart disease group: (1.26 ± 0.17) × 10 9/L vs. (1.41 ± 0.19) × 10 9/L and (1.15 ± 0.14) mmol/L vs. (1.23 ± 0.21) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that monocyte, HDL-C, Lp-PLA2 and SII were the independent risk factors of coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( OR = 1.812, 1.013, 1.013 and 2.004; 95% CI 4.430 to 6.801, 0.992 to 1.013, 1.001 to 1.026 and 0.004 to 0.855; P<0.01 ore <0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of Lp-PLA2 combined with SII to predict the coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was significantly larger than Lp-PLA2 and SII alone: 0.783 (95% CI 0.702 to 0.851) vs. 0.681 (95% CI 0.593 to 0.760) and 0.744 (95% CI 0.660 to 0.816), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Lp-PLA2 and SII are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and their combined detection can improve the predictive value of coronary heart disease.

Objective:To investigate the classification of main pancreatic duct and treatment strategy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD).Methods:The records of 51 consecutive patients with LPD who were treated by linear staple closure technique of pancreatic neck from February to December 2022 from Binzhou Second People′s Hospital, Shijingshan Campus, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Rizhao Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic-Splenic Surgery Research Institute, Chaoyang Central Hospital, Shandong Juxian People′s Hospital, Weihai Municipal Hospital, Binzhou Central Hospital, and Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University were retrospectively reviewed. According to the visibility, position and diameter of the main pancreatic duct at the stump of the pancreas, the type of main pancreatic duct was divided into type I, type Ⅱ, type Ⅲa and type Ⅲb. The number of cases in each main pancreatic duct classification and the corresponding treatment strategies were examined.Results:A total of 51 cases of LPD were successfully completed. Of these patients, the males comprised 56.9%(29/51), and females comprised 43.1%(22/51), with age ranging from 31 to 88 years old. The type of the main pancreatic duct at the stump of the pancreas included 7 cases (13.7%) of type Ⅰ, 39 cases (76.5%) of type Ⅱ, 2 cases (3.9%) of type Ⅲa, and 3 cases (5.9%) of type Ⅲb. Corresponding treatment strategies were adopted according to different main pancreatic duct types, the main pancreatic duct was successfully found, and a support drainage tube was inserted.Conclusion:After linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck, corresponding treatment strategies should be adopted according to the classification of the main pancreatic duct, which would help to improve the success rate of finding the main pancreatic duct and placing a support drainage tube.

Objective:To study the use of primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The clinical data of 21 patients who were treated with primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck in PD at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated, West Campus, Capital Medical University, Rizhao Hepatobiliary-pancreatic-splenic Surgery Research Institute, Binzhou Second People’s Hospital, Chaoyang Central Hospital from February 2022 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 9 females, with ages ranging from 31.0 to 82.0 years (median age 63.0 years). The success rates of linear stapling at pancreatic neck, time of pancreaticojejunostomy, postoperative complications, pancreatic fistula risk score, and length of hospital stay were studied.Results:Among the 21 patients, there were 3 patients who underwent open PD and 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic PD. Primary continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of pancreatic neck was successfully carried out in all these patients. The success rate was 100.0%. The success rate of finding pancreatic ducts at the pancreatic stumps and inserting an drainage tube was 100.0%(21/21). In the 3 patients who underwent open PD, the operation time were 230.0, 245.0 and 250.0 minutes respectively. The time for completing pancreaticojejunostomy were 12.0, 13.0 and 12.0 minutes respectively. The estimated blood loss were 300.0, 450.0 and 600.0 ml respectively. The length of hospital stay were 14.0, 15.0 and 21.0 days. In the 18 patients who underwent laparoscopic PD, the operation time was (295.9±14.5) min, the time for constructing pancreaticojejunostomy was (22.3±1.5) min, the blood loss was (180.0±40.0) ml, the length of hospital stay ranging from 8.0 to 16.0 days (median 10.5 days). Among all the 21 patients, the pancreatic fistula risk score was (4.7±1.5). Postoperative acute pancreatitis occurred in 3 patients (14.3%), delayed gastric emptying occurred in 4 patients (19.0%), and all of them recovered after conservative treatment. There was no postoperative bleeding, nosocomial infection, grade B and C postoperative pancreatic fistula or perioperative death.Conclusion:The continuous single-layer pancreaticojejunostomy after linear stapler closure of the pancreatic neck was safe, reliable, simple and technically easy. It has the potential to prevent clinical postoperative pancreatic fistula and pancreaticojejunostomy bleeding. It is worth to popularize this surgical procedure.
