In response to the current shift in the main content and research focus of life education, which is gradually shifting from the behavioural norms of “health and safety” to thinking about the essence of life and issues of life and death. Drawing on the theoretical resources of the political philosophy of life, it was pointed out that the internalization of “life” has led to the incidence of “burnout” and depression. Faced with the technological rationalism of contemporary society, how to deal with external technological training was the real problem that life education needs to solve. For life education, it was necessary to study how to reemphasize the practical dimension, as well as expand the theme of “health and safety” from simple behavioural norms to ways of dealing with modern society and showcasing life forms.

OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive accuracy and clinical applicability of four vancomycin individualized dosing tools (SmartDose, ClinCalc, Gulou, Pharmado) and provide a basis for rational clinical medication use. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted, enrolling 479 adult patients who received vancomycin therapy and underwent steady-state trough concentration monitoring in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University (Xiamen Branch) from January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2024. The predictive accuracy of each tool was evaluated using indicators, such as mean error (ME), mean absolute error (MAE), mean percentage error (MPE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the proportion of patients with an absolute percentage error (APE) of less than 30%, the 95% limits of agreement, and the overall relative percentage difference between predicted and measured values. Using indicators such as accessibility, patient management, and recommendation of multiple treatment options, the clinical panxso@163.com applicability of the tools for all patients was evaluated; using the discrepancy in accuracy between the predicted and actual measured blood drug concentrations as an indicator, the clinical applicability was assessed for patients in different renal function subgroups (hyperfunction, normal, mild impairment, moderate impairment, and severe impairment). RESULTS In terms of accuracy, SmartDose demonstrated the best overall performance with an MAPE of 46.40% and a proportion of APE <30% (46.56%). Bland-Altman analysis indicated that SmartDose had the smallest overall relative percentage difference (-7.25%), although the 95% limits of agreement were broad for all tools, with differences between the upper and lower limits exceeding 200%. In terms of applicability, all four dosing tools were freely accessible and demonstrated good availability; SmartDose and Pharmado provided the most comprehensive solutions, offering features such as patient management, multiple regimen recommendations, and drug concentration-time curve plotting. Stratified analysis based on renal function revealed that Pharmado showed optimal prediction for hyperfiltration patients (mean difference: 0.11 mg/L). SmartDose and ClinCalc showed relatively better performance in normal and mild renal impaiment (mean difference: 0.37, 0.51 mg/L and -1.13, -1.33 mg/L,respectively). SmartDose performed best in moderate renal impairment (mean difference: -2.60 mg/L). Pharmado and Gulou had smaller prediction biases in severe renal impairment (mean differences: 1.52 mg/L and -0.23 mg/L, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The four individualized dosing tools demonstrated limited accuracy in the initial prediction of vancomycin concentrations. Among them, SmartDose demonstrates the highest overall prediction accuracy and possesses comprehensive clinical management features. It is recommended that Pharmado be preferred for patients with renal hyperfiltration; SmartDose or ClinCalc can be used for patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function; SmartDose is recommended for patients with moderately impaired renal function; Pharmado or Gulou may be considered for patients with severely impaired renal function.

Objective:The aim of this study was to present an institution's experience with cochlear reimplantation(CRI), to assess surgical challenges and post-operative outcomes and to increase the success rate of CRI. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated data from 76 reimplantation cases treated in a tertiary center between 2001 and 2022. Clinical features include caused of CRI, type of failure, surgical issues, and auditory speech performance were analyzed. Categorical Auditory Performance (CAP) and Speech Intelligibility Rating (SIR) scores were used to evaluate pre-and post-CRI outcomes. Our center's consecutive cohort of 1 126 patients had seven patients, while 69 patients were from other cochlear implant centers. Device failure was the most common cause of CRI(68/76), with the remaining cases including flap complications(3/76), magnet displacement(3/76), secondary meningitis(1/76), and foreign bodies around the implant(1/76). Postoperative auditory and speech outcome improved in 31.6%(24/76) of patients, remained unchanged in 63.2%(48/76), and decreased in CAP and SIR scores in 5.2%(4/76) of patients. Postoperatively, the seven patients with cochlear ossification and fibrosis scored lower on the overall CAP and SIR scale than non-ossification individuals, which is a significant factor in surgical success rates and auditory-speech outcomes. Conclusion:CRI surgery is a challenging but relatively safe procedure, and most reimplanted patients experience favorable postoperative outcomes. Medical complications and intracochlear damage are the main causes of poor postoperative results. Therefore, minimally invasive CI has a positive significance for reducing the difficulty of CRI surgery and improving the CI performance.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the impact of autophagy on cardiac tissue injury following common bile duct ligation (CBDL) in rats.
METHODS:
Twenty-four SPF grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups, with 6 rats in each group. The sham-operated (Sham) group underwent only dissection of the common bile duct without ligation. The CBDL group underwent CBDL to simulate jaundice-induced myocardial injury. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA)+CBDL group was intraperitoneally injected with 15 mg/kg 3-MA 2 hours before modeling, and then injected once every other day. The CBDL+autophagy enhancer rapamycin (Rapa) group was intraperitoneally injected with Rapa 1 mg/kg 0.5 hour after modeling, and then injected once every other day. The rats in each group were sacrificed 2 weeks after surgery, and blood was taken from the inferior vena cava. Serum total bilirubin (TBil), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) were detected by using a fully automated animal biochemical analyzer. Serum oxidative stress marker superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were detected by colorimetric assay. The heart tissues of rats were taken and pathological changes were observed under a light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe autophagosomes after double staining with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins were detected using Western blotting.
RESULTS:
Compared with the Sham group, the serum SOD activity of rats in the CBDL group was significantly decreased, while the serum MDA, TBil, ALT, AST, LDH, and CK-MB were significantly increased; the expressions of autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II/I (LC3-II/I) were significantly increased, and p62 protein expression was significantly decreased. Autophagosomes were seen under electron microscopy in the CBDL group, and cardiac histopathological morphology showed focal necrosis in the myocardium as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells, dilatation of small interstitial blood vessels, and myocardial fiber degeneration. Compared with the CBDL group, cardiac tissue injury in rats was attenuated by pretreatment with the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA, with a decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissue, a reduction in interstitial vasodilatation, and a decrease in the area of myocardial fibrosis; a decrease in the number of autophagosomes by electron microscopy; and a further rise in the viability of serum TBil, ALT, and AST [TBil (μmol/L): 184.40±6.74 vs. 120.70±16.93, ALT (U/L): 501.10±62.18 vs. 178.80±22.30, AST (U/L): 806.50±76.92 vs. 275.50±55.81, all P < 0.01], as well as a decrease in the levels of serum SOD, MDA, LDH, and CK-MB [SOD (kU/L): 85.00±5.29 vs. 107.50±7.86, MDA (μmol/L): 10.72±0.93 vs. 15.06±1.88, LDH (U/L): 387.40±119.50 vs. 831.30±84.35, CK-MB (U/L): 320.10±14.04 vs. 814.70±75.66, all P < 0.05]. The expressions of the autophagy-related proteins Beclin-1 and LC3-II/I in cardiac tissues were significantly decreased [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/GAPDH): 0.67±0.04 vs. 0.89±0.01, LC3-II/I ratio: 0.93±0.03 vs. 1.09±0.01, both P < 0.01], and p62 protein expression was significantly increased (p62/GAPDH: 0.99±0.01 vs. 0.60±0.01, P < 0.01). In contrast, compared with the CBDL group, after administration of the autophagy enhancer Rapa, the rats showed increased cardiac tissue injury, increased inflammatory cell infiltration in myocardial tissues, increased interstitial vasodilatation, and increased area of myocardial fibrosis; an increase in autophagosomes was seen by electron microscopy; the change tendency of serum biochemical indicators and proteins in myocardial tissues were opposite with autophagy inhibition group with a decrease in serum TBil, ALT, and AST [TBil (μmol/L): 22.00±3.21 vs. 120.70±16.93, ALT (U/L): 72.13±5.97 vs. 178.80±22.30, AST (U/L): 135.20±12.95 vs. 275.50±55.81, all P < 0.05], as well as a increase in the levels of serum SOD, MDA, LDH, and CK-MB [SOD (kU/L): 208.00±2.65 vs. 107.50±7.86, MDA (μmol/L): 20.38±0.40 vs. 15.06±1.88, LDH (U/L): 1 268.00±210.90 vs. 831.30±84.35, CK-MB (U/L): 1 150.00±158.70 vs. 814.70±75.66, all P < 0.05]. The protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II/I in cardiac tissues were significantly increased [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/GAPDH): 0.96±0.01 vs. 0.89±0.01, LC3-II/I ratio: 1.19±0.01 vs. 1.09±0.01, both P < 0.05], and p62 protein expression was significantly decreased (p62/GAPDH: 0.19±0.02 vs. 0.60±0.01, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Activation of autophagy in CBDL rats led to myocardial tissue injury and reduced cardiac function. Inhibition of autophagy improved cardiac tissue injury in CBDL rats, while increasing autophagy exacerbated myocardial tissue injury.

Objective :
To identify autophagy-related genes involved in pulmonary infection caused by the highly drug-resistant and virulent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 ( USA300) ,and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms , thereby providing potential targets for immunotherapy.
Methods:
The GSE220943 dataset of a USA300-induced pulmonary infection mouse model was obtained from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes ( DEGs ) were identified using the DESeq2 package. Autophagy-related genes ( ARGs) were retrieved from the MSigDB and Autophagy databases.Weighted gene co-expression network analysis ( WGCNA) was performed to construct gene co-expression modules.Genes overlapping among DEGs,ARGs,and WGCNA modules were identified as autophagy-related DEGs.Gene Ontology ( GO) enrichment analysis was con- ducted using the clusterProfiler R package,while Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ( KEGG) pathway en- richment analysis was performed via the Metascape platform.Immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the Immu- CellAI-mouse website.A protein - protein interaction ( PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database, and hub genes were identified through topological analysis in Cytoscape. Receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) curves were plotted via the website https: / /www.bioinformatics.com.cn. Finally,key gene expression was validated in mouse lung tissues by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR ( RT-qPCR) .
Results:
A total of 6 135,4 075,3 680,and 2 342 differentially expressed genes ( DEGs) were identified at 12,24,48,and 96 hours post-infection,respectively.By integrating DEGs,autophagy-related genes ( ARGs) ,and WGCNA mod- ules,19 autophagy-related DEGs were identified. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that these genes were mainly involved in CD4 + T cell activation and regulation,innate immune responses,and autophagosome mem- brane formation.Immune infiltration analysis revealed that innate immune cells such as neutrophils and dendritic cells predominated during the early phase of infection,while γδ T cells and M2 macrophages became more promi- nent in the later stages.PPI network analysis identified 12 hub autophagy-related genes,among which three upreg- ulated key genes ( Eif2ak2,Ikbke,and Nfkbiz) were further confirmed.The area under the ROC curve for all three genes was 1. 000.RT-qPCR validation demonstrated significantly elevated expression of these three genes in lung tissues at 24 hours post-infection ( all P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
Eif2ak2,Ikbke,and Nfkbiz may be involved in the pulmonary infection caused by USA300 by promoting autophagy and hold promise as potential targets for immuno- therapy.

Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with inflammatory mechanisms, where persistent or excessive inflammatory responses can lead to neuronal damage and subsequent pathological changes. In acute neurological conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, inflammation is a key factor that triggers acute neuronal injury and long-term sequelae. In chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, the chronic activation of inflammation is closely related to gradual degeneration of neurons. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), an endogenous pro-resolving mediator, plays a crucial role in controlling the intensity and duration of inflammation by inhibiting excessive activation of immune cells, modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. This review focuses on the mechanisms of RvD1 in mediating inflammatory damage in major neurological diseases, aiming to provide theoretical support for a deeper understanding of disease mechanism, optimized therapeutic strategies, and enhanced outcome.
