Objective:To investigate feedback on teaching effectiveness and optimization strategies for flipped classrooms in pediatric probation of eight-year clinical medicine programs, and to provide insights for enhancing the educational quality of pediatric probation.Methods:From June to September 2022, eight-year clinical medicine students from the class of 2018 undergoing pediatric probation were included in the study using purposive sampling. The subjects participated in one-on-one, offline, semi-structured, in-depth interviews to provide feedback on traditional lectures and flipped classroom teaching. The sample size was determined based on the principle of data saturation, with nine students participating in-depth interviews. NVivo 12 software was used for coding and classifying the interview data, which were then analyzed using thematic framework analysis to identify key themes.Results:Analysis of the interview data revealed three themes and ten sub-themes. Specifically, theme 1: The flipped classroom enhanced learning effectiveness but increased students' workload; theme 2: The current pediatric probation was scientifically designed but could be improved; theme 3: Several strategies exist for optimizing the flipped classroom teaching in pediatric probation.Conclusions:The flipped classroom in pediatric probation is in its early stages. While offering some benefits, further exploration and optimization are needed in curriculum design, student motivation, and supervision and evaluation methods.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloids(DNLA)on the proliferation,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of HLEB3 cells induced by TGF-β2.Methods HLEB3 cells were cultivated in vitro and classified into the control group(DZ),the model group(TGF-β2),and the treatment group(TGF-β2+DNLA).TGF-β2 induced the EMT process of HLEB3 cells.Changes in cell morphology were observed through an inverted microscope.Cell proliferation,apoptosis,and migration were detected by CCK-8 assay,scratch test,and Transwell assay.The total RNAs of the samples were extracted for transcriptome analysis.Bioinformatics processing was employed to obtain relevant information on gene expression differences at the transcriptional level,biological processes,and related signaling pathways.The Western blot(WB)technique was utilized to detect EMT-related proteins to elucidate the mechanism of action of DNLA on lens epithelial cells.Results The study revealed that 10 μg/ml DNLA was suitable for the growth of HLEB3 cells.After 48 hours of the scratch test,the migration rate of the TGF-β2+DNLA group significantly decreased(P<0.01).The Transwell results indicated that the cell migration ability of the TGF-β2+DNLA group was notably weakened(P<0.05).Through bioinformatics,it was discovered that the prevention and treatment of posterior capsular opacification(PCO)by DNLA might be associated with cell junctions,cytoskeleton construction,and fibronectin binding.The pathogenesis of PCO may be related to multiple signaling pathways,including the TGF-β signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway,and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Simultaneously,DNLA could reduce the expression levels of FNI,Smad2/3,and α-SMA proteins and increase the expression of E-cadherin protein.This indicates that DNLA can alleviate abnormal proliferation,migration,and EMT of lens epithelial cells by enhancing intercellular adhesion junctions and weakening cell migration ability,thereby playing a role in preventing and treating posterior capsular opacification.Conclusions DNLA can significantly inhibit the abnormal proliferation and migration of HLEB3 cells,alleviate the EMT process induced by TGF-β2,and prevent and control the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification and other ocular diseases.The mechanism of action might be related to the intervention of the TGF-β/smad signaling pathway and fibrosis proteins such as ZO-1 and E-cadherin.

Objective To understand the impact of bed-making manipulation on the air surrounding bed units in hemodialysis room,evaluate the effectiveness of routine terminal disinfection,and provide scientific basis for optimi-zing infection control measures.Methods Air specimens(pre-bed-making group)and environmental object surface specimens(pre-terminal disinfection group)around bed units were collected when hemodialysis was about to be fi-nished.Air specimens after bed-making(bed-making group)and environmental object surface specimens after ter-minal disinfection(terminal disinfection group)were also collected.Bacterial colonies were counted and identified.Results A total of 714 air specimens were collected from 238 bed units of 45 hemodialysis units before and during bed-making.The average bacterial colony count during bed-making was higher than that before bed-making([2.72±3.43]CFU/plate vs[0.69±1.50]CFU/plate,P<0.05).The qualified rate of microbial colony count before bed-making was higher than that during bed-making(96.64%vs 64.71%,P<0.05).A total of 450 environmental ob-ject surface specimens from 90 bed units of 45 hemodialysis units were collected before and after terminal disinfec-tion.The average bacterial colony count before terminal disinfection was higher than that after terminal disinfection([8.18±20.6]CFU/cm2 vs[1.49±3.44]CFU/cm2.P<0.05).The qualified rate of microbial colony count after terminal disinfection was higher than that before terminal disinfection(98.22%vs 92.44%,P<0.05).The micro-organisms in the air and environment were mainly coagulase negative Staphylococcus.Conclusion Bed-making has a certain impact on the air microorganisms around the bed units,and terminal disinfection can reduce the bacterial co-lony count of the environment.It is necessary to pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the environment for medical treatment,and carry out bed-making manipulation under clear condition to minimize the risk of infection.
