Background: Chinese herbal pieces are an essential component of traditional Chinese medicine. Accurate identification and classification of these materials are crucial in clinical practice. Objective: This study aims to enhance the recognition efficiency of Chinese herbal pieces using deep learning technology, while addressing the limitations of traditional manual classification methods in terms of both quality and efficiency. Methods: A comprehensive dataset containing 201 types of Chinese herbal pieces was established. Based on Real-time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR), we designed and integrated a Feature-focused Diffusion Network (FDN), resulting in an improved model termed RT-DETR-FDN. The proposed FDN includes a Feature-focus Module and a feature diffusion mechanism, enabling the model to capture more extensive feature information from Chinese herbal pieces and diffuse it across multiple detection scales. Results: Experimental results show that RT-DETR-FDN achieved a precision of 0.925, a recall of 0.943, and an mAP50-95 of 0.851. In addition, the model was compared with representative You Only Look Once series models commonly used in object detection. Compared with these models, RT-DETR-FDN achieved higher recognition accuracy while maintaining a lightweight architecture. Conclusion: This study integrates deep learning with traditional Chinese medicine, providing a more effective solution for the recognition of Chinese herbal pieces.

Public health decision-making is often accompanied by intense ethical controversies， demanding decision-makers not only to possess the moral courage and sense of responsibility to address challenges， but also to master the refined skills of ethical reasoning and value trade-offs. This underscores the increasingly vital role of public health ethics in medical education. Taking the film Contagion as a case， this paper delved into the practical pathways and teaching effectiveness of integrating pandemic films as instructional materials into public health ethics education. It elucidated the unique value of films in teaching public health ethics， namely， they not only stimulate learning interest through emotional resonance but also construct realistic ethical dilemmas via highly immersive cinematic narratives， thereby promoting deeper learning. On this basis， a set of teaching implementation pathways was constructed， including critical steps such as clarification of instructional intent， formulation of learning objectives， development of teaching materials， implementation of classroom instruction， and evaluation and reflection on teaching effectiveness. A qualitative research method was used to assess the teaching effectiveness. The results showed that integrating pandemic films into public health ethics teaching can significantly enhance learners’ enthusiasm for exploration and research， strengthen their ethical decision-making and reasoning abilities in complex situations， and promote the development of their moral literacy. This teaching model provides feasible ideas and practical strategies for methodological innovation in public health ethics education， possessing strong potential for broader application.

BACKGROUND:Bone relies on the close connection between blood vessels and bone cells to maintain its integrity.Bones are in a physiologically hypoxic environment.Therefore,the study of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in hypoxic environment is closer to the microenvironment in vivo. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of Wenshen Tongluo Zhitong(WSTLZT)formula on H-type bone microvascular endothelial cell/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell co-culture system in hypoxia environment and its related mechanism. METHODS:Enzyme digestion method and flow sorting technique were used to isolate and identify H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells.Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and obtained by bone marrow adhesion method.H-type bone microvascular endothelial cell/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell hypoxic co-culture system was established using Transwell chamber and anoxic culture workstation.WSTLZT formula powder was used to intervene in each group at a mass concentration of 50 and 100 μg/mL.The angiogenic function of H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells in the co-culture system was evaluated by scratch migration test and tube formation test.The osteogenic differentiation ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the co-cultured system was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining.The protein and mRNA expression changes of PDGF/PI3K/AKT signal axis related molecules in H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells in the co-cultured system were detected by Western Blotting and q-PCR,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal oxygen group,the scratch mobility and new blood vessel length of H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells were significantly higher(P<0.05);the osteogenic differentiation capacity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was higher(P<0.05);the expression of PDGF/PI3K/AKT axis-related molecular protein and mRNA increased(P<0.05)in the hypoxia group.(2)Compared with the hypoxia group,scratch mobility and new blood vessel length were significantly increased in the H-type bone microvascular endothelial cells(P<0.05);bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells had stronger osteogenic function(P<0.05);the expression of PDGF/PI3K/AKT axis-related molecular proteins and mRNA further increased(P<0.05)after treatment with different dose concentrations of WSTLZT formula.These findings conclude that H-type angiogenesis and osteogenesis under hypoxia may be related to the PDGF/PI3K/AKT signaling axis,and WSTLZT formula may promote H-type vasculo-dependent bone formation by activating the PDGF/PI3K/AKT signaling axis,thereby preventing and treating osteoporosis.

Additionally, the experimental group showed superior performance in self-learning [(8.57±1.12) vs. (7.64±1.24)], clinical thinking [(8.61±1.16) vs. (7.78±1.28)], evidence-based thinking [(8.52±1.13) vs. (7.69±1.26)], clinical skills [(8.49±1.17) vs. (7.61±1.23)], communication skills [(8.53±1.18) vs. (7.67±1.29)], and literature review [(8.59±1.15) vs. (7.71±1.27)], with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Teaching satisfaction in the experimental group (96.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (82.00%) ( P=0.025). The pass rates rated by teachers were higher in the experimental group in medical history collection (94.00% vs. 80.00%), physical examination (96.00% vs. 82.00%), clinical thinking (92.00% vs. 76.00%), communication skills (94.00% vs. 80.00%), literature review (96.00% vs. 84.00%), specialized skills (94.00% vs. 78.00%), and diagnosis and treatment plan formulation (92.00% vs. 74.00%), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of evidence-based clinical guidelines combined with "rain classroom" smart teaching in the standardized residency training in endocrinology department can significantly improve the exit examination scores and teaching satisfaction of trainees, teaching effectiveness, and evaluation of trainees by teachers. This teaching method has a positive role in improving the clinical comprehensive ability of trainees such as evidence-based medical thinking and standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To develop a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative method for detecting Klebsiella pneumoniae using digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)-CRISPR/Cas12b. Methods:Five LAMP primers targeting the Kp-1 gene of Klebsiella pneumoniae and guide RNA (gRNA) for Cas12b were designed. The digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b reaction mixture included 1×WarmStart ? LAMP master mix, 1×LAMP primers, 250 nmol/L Cas12b, 250 nmol/L gRNA, 3 μmol/L ssDNA reporter, 1 000 U/ml RNase inhibitor, 4 mmol/L Mg 2+, and DEPC water. After preparing the digital chip, it was incubated at 60℃ for one hour. Fluorescence distribution was then detected using a biochip analyzer to calculate the input DNA concentration. The specificity of the method was tested using genomic DNA from seven pathogenic microorganisms. The quantitative performance was assessed using serial dilutions of Klebsiella pneumoniae DNA ranging from 5-500 000 copies/μl. Clinical sputum samples were collected for comparison of quantitative performance with qPCR and qualitative performance with culture methods. Results:The digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b method showed high specificity, yielding negative results for all six non-target pathogens. Quantitative performance tests indicated a sensitivity as low as 5 copies/μl, with a linear dynamic range of 5-50 000 copies/μl ( R2=0.927 4). Clinical sample quantitative testing showed that the correlation coefficient between digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b and qPCR quantification was 0.917 0. Compared with the culture results of 72 samples, this method had a sensitivity of 100% and detected two additional samples with negative culture result, with a specificity of 91%; Compared with the culture method, qPCR had a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 83%. These results indicated that the digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b method had good quantitative and qualitative detection performance for clinical sputum samples. Conclusions:This method offers advantages over qPCR, including rapidity, simplicity, and high precision. The digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b method enables absolute quantification of Klebsiella pneumoniae in sputum samples, enhancing the accuracy of early screening for Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. These advantages make digital LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12b technology highly promising for the precise diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms in field detection, primary healthcare, and resource-limited environments.
