With the deepening of China's medical reform, people's demand for health is growing, which promotes the construction of "new medicine" and puts forward higher requirements for the cultivation and education of medical students. Undergraduate medical education is a crucial period for the growth of medical students, and how to do a good job in undergraduate teaching under the background of "new medicine" is currently a research hotspot. The clinical teaching stage is an important period for medical students to fully understand clinical disciplines and cultivate their understanding of specialties. Therefore, we should explore new teaching methods and means to adapt to the needs of the new era. In the context of "new medicine", the medical-engineering fusion diagnosis and treatment technology has become an important trend in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of oncology. In order to adapt to this change, clinical teaching and teaching management in oncology also need new exploration and research. Taking the clinical teaching of oncology as an example, this article discusses how to cultivate medical students' thinking of medical-engineering fusion.

Objective To explore the application effect of prone split-leg position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods A total of 79 patients with upper urinary tract stones who underwent surgery in our department from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected.According to the surgical position,the patients were divided into prone split-leg position group(n =35)and traditional prone position group(n =44).The two groups were compared regarding operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative and preoperative hemoglobin changes,postoperative complications,one-stage stone free rate,and duration of hospitalization.Results The prone split-leg position group had significantly shorter operative time and higher one-stage stone free rate than those in the traditional prone position group[(69.6±20.7)min vs.(90.5±35.3)min,t =-3.280,P =0.002;97.1%(34/35)vs.79.5%(35/44),χ2 =3.984,P =0.037].There were 1 case of infection,3 cases of fever,and 1 case of bleeding in the prone split-leg position group,while 4 cases of postoperative fever and 2 cases of bleeding in the traditional prone position group,without significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(χ2 =0.000,P =1.000).There were no statistical differences in intraoperative blood loss,number of working channel,hemoglobin changes,and duration of hospitalization(P>0.05).Conclusion Prone split-leg position PCNL can shorten the operation time,improve the one-stage stone free rate,and will not increase the risk of postoperative complications,with good safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of clinical nurses in general hospitals to carry out hospice care under hospice shared care model, and further improve the quality of hospice care in general hospitals under this mode.Methods:Using the descriptive phenomenological research method, 13 clinical nurses from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical School of Zhejiang University were selected by purposive sampling from June to September 2023. Semi-structured interviews were conducted based on the capacity opportunity-motivation-behavior model, and Colaizzi′s 7-step analysis method was used to summarize and refine the theme.Results:There were 3 males and 10 females, aged 24-38 years old. Three themes and 11 sub-themes were extracted in this study: ability factors (theoretical knowledge cannot meet clinical needs, lack of clinical practice ability, insufficient self emotional regulation ability), motivation factors (willingness to carry out hospice shared care model, sense of professional benefit, professional identity, perception of care pressure, hospice care self-efficacy), opportunity factors (the influence of Confucian culture, systematic construction of hospice shared care model in hospitals, and multiple external support).Conclusions:Nurses' hospice care under hospice shared care model is affected by internal and external factors. Nurses can learn through multiple channels, find positive work experience, and use multi-dimensional support system to provide high-quality hospice care services for patients.

Objective: To investigate the antibacterial effect of a new photosensitizer, indocyanine green (ICG)-mediated photodynamic therapy, on a biofilm of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in vitro. Methods: The biocompatibility of the photosensitizer ICG was detected by CCK8. F. nucleatum (108 CFU/mL) was cultured in anaerobic conditions (80% N2, 10% H2 and 10% CO2) mixed with the photosensitizer ICG at concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 μg/mL and then treated with antibacterial photodynamic therapy (808 nm near infrared light with an intensity of 0.1 W/cm2 for 3 min), and a mature biofilm was formed after 2 days. The bacteriostatic effects of different concentrations of ICG on F. nucleatum biofilms were compared by colony formation unit count (CFU). The effect of ICG on the formation of F. nucleatum biofilms and biofilm metabolic activity was determined by crystal violet quantification and MTT assays. The effect of ICG on the formation of extracellular polysaccharides in F. nucleatum biofilms was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. The change in the number of bacteria was observed by confocal microscopy. Results : CFU and biomass of the biofilm gradually decreased with increasing ICG concentration, and there were significant differences compared with the control group. Meanwhile, the metabolic activity of the biofilm and the production of extracellular polysaccharides also showed a significant difference between the ICG groups and the control group (P<0.01). At the same time, laser confocal microscopy showed that the number of living bacteria decreased gradually. Conclusion Antibacterial photodynamic therapy with photosensitizer ICG can effectively inhibit the formation of F. nucleatum biofilms.

Objective: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree affected with a syndromic form of hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF). Methods: Clinical data of the pedigree members were collected. The excised gingiva were collected, and the pathological features were observed by histological sectioning. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples, and whole-exome sequencing was used to identify gene mutations. Results : The proband, her mother, her maternal grandfather and her maternal grandfather's sister all suffered from gum hyperplasia; female patients had congenital hirsutism and macromastia, while male patients also had congenital hirsutism, which suggests that this pedigree may have a congenital syndrome. The pathological characteristics of the gingival tissue were chronic inflammation with fibromatous hyperplasia, connective tissue enlargement, and filling with thick collagen fiber bundles. In addition, whole-exome sequencing results showed that no mutations related to known pathogenic genes were found, suggesting that new pathogenic gene mutations may be the cause. Conclusion According to the literature and our gene sequencing results, it is suggested that this may be the first pedigree with a new syndrome HGF (gingival fibromatosis + congenital hirsutism + macromastia) caused by an unknown pathogenic gene mutation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese pedigree affected with hereditary dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI) type II. METHODS: Clinical data of the pedigree members were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples and subjected to whole exome sequencing. RESULTS: Clinical characteristics of the affected family members have included amber teeth along with significant attrition, constricted roots and dentine hypertrophy leading to pulpal obliteration, which were suggestive of DGI type II. All of the affected members were found to have harbored a novel heterozygous c.2837delA (p.Asp946Valfs*368) variant of the DSPP gene which was predicted to be likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION The c.2837delA variant of the DSPP gene probably underlay the disease in this pedigree. Above finding has expanded the variant spectrum of DSPP gene and provided a basis for molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling for this pedigree.

Infectious diarrhea is an important public health problem, which has a significant impact on global disease burden. Under the background of climate change, rainstorms increase and floods occur frequently. Most studies show that the incidences of infectious diarrhea disease increase significantly after rainstorm and flood events. However, there is a lack of systematic summary on the path of rainstorm and flood events affecting the incidence of infectious diarrhea, including the key links and mechanisms underlying environmental-social interaction. This study comprehensively combed the literature from environmental factors, socio-economic and cultural factors, and population and individual susceptibility factors. The potential mechanisms of infectious diarrhea caused by rainstorm and flood events were discussed from the aspects of spreading of pathogens, affecting sanitation facilities and (or) drinking water treatment infrastructure, the regulatory role of individual and behavioral factors, and long-term effects. Based on the "pressure-state-response" model, a social driving process model of rainstorm and flood leading to incidence of infectious diarrhea was constructed. This model could provide reference for future quantitative modeling and other research directions. It is helpful to guide the public health departments to accurately identify factors affecting the incidence of infectious diarrhea after rainstorm and flood, so as to take targeted intervention measures.

Background Climate change leads to frequent heavy rainfall events, and higher incidences of bacillary dysentery after heavy rainfall have been observed. The impacts of heavy rainfall and its antecedent rainfall conditions on the disease are worth paying attention to. Objective To quantitatively analyze how the relationship between heavy rainfall events and bacillary dysentery occurrence is modified by antecedent rainfall conditions in Anhui Province and explore the different moderation effects in urban and rural contexts. Methods CN05.1 meteorological data of Anhui Province and cases of bacillary dysentery of the same area were collected from January 1, 2006 to August 31, 2017. An exposure-response Poisson regression model of heavy rainfall events and the number of daily cases was constructed to explore the moderation effect of antecedent rainfall conditions on the incidence of bacillary dysentery, and further stratified by urban and rural areas. Results This study included 129 459 cases of bacillary dysentery, with a daily average of 30.39. Compared with dry antecedent conditions without heavy rainfall, dry antecedent conditions with heavy rainfall had no obvious different effect on the incidence of bacillary dysentery for the whole province (P>0.05). But wet antecedent conditions significantly increased the risk of bacillary dysentery for the whole province after heavy rainfall (wet antecedent conditions without heavy rainfall: RR=1.281, 95%CI: 1.264-1.298; wet antecedent conditions with heavy rainfall: RR=1.267, 95%CI: 1.167-1.376). After urban and rural stratification, antecedent rainfall conditions also showed a significant moderation effect on the incidence of bacillary dysentery following heavy rainfall events. Compared with dry antecedent conditions without heavy rainfall, dry antecedent conditions with heavy rainfall had no obvious effect on the incidence of bacillary dysentery for the urban and the rural populations (P > 0.05). However, wet antecedent conditions without heavy rainfall (urban: RR=1.391, 95%CI: 1.362-1.421; rural: RR=1.222, 95%CI: 1.201-1.243) and wet antecedent conditions with heavy rainfall (urban: RR=1.364, 95%CI: 1.193-1.559; rural: RR=1.218, 95%CI: 1.098-1.352) significantly increased the risk of bacillary dysentery in both rural and urban areas. Conclusion In the influence of heavy rainfall on the incidence of bacillary dysentery in Anhui Province, antecedent rainfall conditions have a certain moderation effect in the whole province and in both urban and rural areas, and the risk of bacillary dysentery is increased under wet antecedent conditions.

Background Climate change has resulted in long-term impacts on human health. Implementing efficient adaptation strategies among primary healthcare facilities is well determined by whether staff of different genders recognize the health risks related to climate change and are willing to take active measures. Objective To investigate gender differences on perceptions of health risks and attitude towards adaptation strategies among primary healthcare workers in China, and provide relevant suggestions. Methods By adopting a multi-stage cluster sampling method, we selected 21 urban and 10 rural healthcare facilities in Guangdong Province to collect information with a questionnaire. Then chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, and logistic regression analysis were used to explore the gender differences in climate change-related health risk cognition, knowledge acquisition channels, attitudes towards adaptation strategies, main obstacles, and resource requirements among the healthcare workers. Results Of 733 participants, 38.47% (282 participants) were male and 61.53% (451 participants) were female. The percentages of male healthcare workers who agreed that climate change is happening and recognized the causes of climate change (70.21%, 60.99%) were higher than the percentages of female counterparts (59.87%, 49.00%) (both Ps＜0.05), but no obvious gender differences existed in recognizing health risks of heatwaves and infectious diseases as well as sensitive population identification (all Ps＞0.05). Most of the participants (92.50%) received climate change and health-related information from mass media like TV, radio, and newspapers. Meanwhile less men chose new media channels than women (OR=0.62, 95%CI∶ 0.41-0.94). Only 30.56% of the participants (33.69% of men and 28.60% of women) reported involvement of relevant training and lectures. Most of them (90.96%) agreed to take active measures to deal with the health threats associated with climate change without gender differences for various measures (all Ps＞0.05). The leading obstacles were hard to integrate health adaptation to climate change into main work of institutions (most female agreed, 72.28%) and the lack of funds (most male agreed, 77.66%). Increasing funding for primary health care was regarded as the most needed resource by male (86.88%) and female (89.14%). After controlling the influence of other social factors, more men agreed with the lack of funds than women (OR=1.57, 95%CI∶ 1.10-2.24). Conclusion There are some gender differences in the perceptions of health risks and adaptation strategies of climate change among primary healthcare workers: Male staff are more likely to agree with climate change and regard the lack of funds as the main obstacle, while women prefer to choose new media channels to obtain information. It’s suggested that the government and relevant institutions focus on the learning and training of climate change and health-related knowledge and expand diversified information access, and promote capacity building to cope with health threats at grass-root level, in the light of recognized gender differences among primary healthcare workers.
