Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of combined teaching method integrating case-based teaching method(CBL),problem-based teaching method(PBL),and team-based teaching method(TBL)in clinical nursing teaching in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:A total of 60 nursing students who trained in our PICU from Jan 2021 to Jun 2022 were selected as the control group,and 60 nursing students who trained in our PICU from Jul 2022 to Jun 2024 were selected as the research group.The control group received conventional nursing teaching mode,while the research group received combined teaching mode of CBL,PBL,and TBL.The scores of academic performance,logical thinking ability,self-learning ability,and clinical nursing comprehensive ability between the two groups were compared.Result:The scores of theoretical knowledge,operational skills,post-teaching Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version(CTDI-CV)scale,self-directed learning readiness scale for nursing,and Mini-clinical evaluation exercise scale(Mini-CEX)in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combined teaching method of CBL,PBL,and TBL can effectively improve clinical nursing teaching results and comprehensive abilities of nursing students.

Objective:To design and evaluate a cell membrane vaccine strategy based on dendritic cell membrane microbubbles(DCM@MBs),and to explore its potential application in tumor immunotherapy,especially the immune-specific killing of tumor cells through the activation of T cells.Methods:At first,tumor cell membrane proteins were extracted and dendritic cells(DCs)were acti-vated to confirm that tumor antigens could effectively stimulate the maturation of immature DCs.Mature DC membranes were then mixed with lipids to prepare DCM@MBs,which were characterized for morphology,size,and protein composition by confocal laser scanning microscopy and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Finally,in vitro co-culture experiments were con-ducted to assess the effect of DCM@MBs on the activation of T cells and their ability for specific killing of tumor cells.Results:In the in vitro DC activation experiment,after stimulation with tumor cell membrane proteins,the 25 μg/mL group had a significant increase in the expression level of MHC class Ⅱ molecule(25.167%±1.203%)on the surface of immature DCs compared with the control group(P<0.001),and DCM@MBs presented with microbubbles encapsulated by red cell membranes,with uniform dispersion and a size of 1-5 μm.In the in vitro co-culture experiment,the amount of breast cancer cells(9.893±0.341)%.Conclusion:The DCM@MBs strategy proposed in this study shows significant potential in tu-mor immunotherapy and can effectively activate T cells and specifically kill and eliminate tumor cells,which provides new ideas for tu-mor immunotherapy.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of digital management platform led by outpatient specialist nurses among patients with type 2 diabetes in outpatient settings.Methods:From March 2024 to March 2025, adult patients with type 2 diabetes who visited the Endocrinology Clinic at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected using convenience sampling. Patients were randomly assigned to the control group and intervention group using the random number table method. Patients in control group received routine education on type 2 diabetes during their clinic visits after enrollment. Intervention group was managed by nurses through a digital management platform, establishing long-term connections with patients. Based on the platform, nurses regularly provided patients with knowledge updates, promptly responded to patient inquiries, reviewed daily dietary records, monitored blood glucose data, conducted weekly telephone follow-ups, and scheduled regular clinic visits to precisely intervene in patients' lifestyles. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and self-management behavior scores were compared between two groups of patients before and after three months of intervention.Results:A total of 46 patients were enrolled and completed the 3-month follow-up, including 25 in control group and 21 in intervention group. There were no statistically significant differences in HbA1c or self-management behavior scores between the two groups of patients before intervention ( P>0.05). At three months of intervention, the HbA1c reduction in intervention group was greater than that in control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Scale scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). The difference in changes in diabetic foot self-screening scores between intervention group and control group was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Specialist nurse-led precision health care management utilizing digital platforms can improve HbA1c and enhance self-management behaviors for diabetic foot in patients with type 2 diabetes, which is expected to be promoted and applied in the outpatient management of diabetes patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes in ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV) in individuals with arterial stiffness and subclinical atherosclerosis (subAS), and to provide cutoff values. Methods: This retrospective study recruited 231 participants, including 67 patients with subAS. The pulse wave velocity was measured at the beginning and end of systole (PWV-BS and PWVES, respectively) using ultrafast ultrasonography to assess arterial stiffness. The right and left common carotid arteries were measured separately, and laboratory metabolic parameters were also collected. Participants were balanced between groups using propensity score matching (PSM) at a 1:1 ratio, adjusting for age, sex, and waist-to-hip ratio as potential confounders. Cutoff values of ufPWV for monitoring subAS were determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: PWV-ES, unlike PWV-BS, was higher in the subAS subgroup than in the subAS-free group after PSM (all P<0.05). For each 1 m/s increase in left, right, and bilateral mean PWV-ES, the risk of subAS increased by 23% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.46), 26% (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.52), and 38% (95% CI, 1.12 to 1.72), respectively. According to ROC analyses, predictive potential was found for left PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.910 m/s, P=0.002), right PWV-ES (cutoff value=6.615 m/s, P=0.003), and bilateral mean PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.415 m/s, P<0.001), but not for PWV-BS (all P>0.05). Conclusion PWV-ES measured using ultrafast ultrasonography was significantly higher in individuals with subAS than in those without. Specific PWV-ES cutoff values showed potential for predicting an increased risk of subAS.

Purpose To investigate the expression of TRPS1 in synovial sarcoma(SS)and its significance.Methods Twenty-one cases of synovial sarcoma diagnosed by SS1 8(18q11)(SYT)fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)or SS18-SSX immunohistochemistry were collected.The expression of TRPS1 was detected by immunohistochemistry EnVision two-step staining,and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results There were 21 cases of synovial sarcoma,including 9 females and 12 males,aged 17-79 years,with a median age of 50 years and an average age of 47.1 years.The tumors occurred in the lung(3 cases),legs(3 cases),kidney(3 cases),feet(2 cases),psoas major muscle(2 cases),rectum(1 case),tho-racic cavity(1 case),ankle canal(1 case),inguinal area(1 case),knee(1 case),palm(1 case),nasal cavity(1 case),and forearm(1 case).The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.2-13 cm.Grossly,the tumor section was grayish-white,grayish-yellowish solid,and the lesion with hemorrhage was dark red.Microscopically,there were monophasic fibrous SS(16/21,76.2％),poorly differential SS(small cell)(3/21,14.3％),and biphasic SS(2/21,9.5％).Immunophenotypi-cally,tumor cells expressed SS18-SSX(18/18,100％),TLE1(12/12,100％),BCL2(18/18,100％),partially expressed EMA(10/16,62.5％),CK(12/18,66.7％),CD99(4/10,40.0％),SMA(3/16,18.6％),S-100(3/19,15.8％),and desmin(0/21).The proliferation index of Ki67 ranged from 3％-80％,with an average of 39.9％.FISH test showed that all 11 cases were positive for SS18(18q11)split-ting.All 21 cases of SS expressed TRPS1 to varying degrees and intensities(21/21,100％),of which 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)had a positive range of＞50％.There were 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)with a positive intensity of 2+or above.All the 21 patients underwent surgical resection of the tumor,and 20 patients received follow-up visits.3 patients treated with postop-erative combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy,18 pa-tients treated with postoperative chemotherapy,and 7 patients showed different degrees of recurrence or metastasis,and 9 pa-tients who received follow-up visits died(45％,9/20).Con-clusion Although TRPS1 is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific marker of breast tumor origin,it is also highly expressed in synovial sarcoma,and it is necessary to be vigilant at its pit-falls in the pathological diagnosis.
