Objective:To analyze the body composition of patients diagnosed with malignant gastrointestinal tumors and to assess the impact of obesity on surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery following laparoscopic radical surgery.Methods:Patients with malignant gastrointestinal tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Department of General Surgery at the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from February to October 2023 were prospectively enrolled. The body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Accordingly, the obese patients were selected as the obese group, while non-obese patients entered the control group using propensity score matching. The clinical data, in particular the postoperative recovery, were compared between these two groups.Results:A total of 593 patients with malignant gastrointestinal tumors were included in the analysis, including 108 patients in the obese group and 107 in the control group. The two groups significantly differed in the six minute walking test ( P=0.003), postoperative anemia ( P=0.036), white blood cell count ( P<0.001), neutrophil percent ( P<0.001), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ( P=0.001). The obese group exhibited a significntly higher risk of developing complications after surgery ( P=0.039). Conclusions:Obese patients with malignant gastrointestinal tumors are more likely to experience complications such as muscle weakness, anemia, infection, and inflammation after a laparoscopic radical surgery. Close monitoring and proactive perioperative interventions should be taken to mitigate such risks.

Objective Responding to the imperative to modernize vocational education and establish competency-oriented systems,this study investigates the development of on-campus training bases for speech and hearing rehabilitation(SHR)programs within Chinese higher vocational colleges(HVC).It analyzes their functional role and essential compo-nents,and propose a competency-oriented,modular framework for on-campus training based on World Health Organization(WHO)rehabilitation competency framework(RCF),and professional education standards.Methods This research synthesized theories of higher vocational education and practical pedagogy(e.g.,situated learn-ing,experiential learning and constructivism)with analyses of domestic and international SHR educational poli-cies and standards.It examined the strategic importance and essential components(hardware,software,human re-sources,management)of on-campus training bases in the context of higher vocational education.Synthesizing RCF with standards from ASHA(knowledge and skills acquisition,KASA),International Association of Logope-dics and Phoniatrics(IALP),and Teaching Standards for Higher Vocational Schools from Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China,a core SHR professional competency model tailored for HVC was developed.This model subsequently guided the design of a modular on-campus training curriculum and associated pedagogi-cal approaches.Results On-campus training bases were pivotal platforms that bridge theory and practice,facilitating'teaching-learning-doing'integration within HVC SHR programs.Effective base construction necessitated synergistic integration across four key domains:hardware facilities(meeting specialized acoustic/equipment needs),software resources(case libraries,standard operating procedure and digital tools),'dual-role'human resources and robust manage-ment systems(operations,evaluation,industry-education linkages).Derived from RCF and related standards,a core SHR competency framework was developed,encompassing dimensions such as foundational knowledge and ethics,assessment(audiological;speech-language),intervention(audiological rehabilitation and technology;speech-language),and communication and collaboration.Consequently,eight core training modules were de-signed,including basic operations of hearing testing,introduction to objective hearing testing,preliminary hear-ing aid fitting,application of standardized speech-language assessment tools,simulation of articulation and voice disorder assessment and intervention,simulation of swallowing disorder screening and basic training,comprehen-sive case analysis and rehabilitation plan development,and practice of professional literacy and communication skills;detailing objectives,activities,and resources,and intended for seamless integration with theoretical cours-es and off-campus practicum,establishing a cohesive'curriculum-training-practicum'continuum.Furthermore,a suite of adaptable pedagogical models,including problem-based learning,case-based learning,simulation-based training,project-based learning and the flipped classroom,were recommended for implementing these modules.Conclusion The effective development of on-campus training bases for SHR programs in HVC necessitates establishing a systematic,competency-oriented practical teaching environment.Grounded in RCF,and essential SHR knowl-edge,skills and abilities,this study proposes a framework incorporating eight core training modules and comple-mentary pedagogical models,providing a theoretically grounded,practically applicable blueprint for enhancing the educational quality and substance of these bases within HVC.Successful realization hinges upon the synergis-tic development of the four key elements(hardware,software,human resources,management),deep integration between training activities,the curriculum,and practicum experiences,and the application of innovative pedago-gy to cultivate student potential.

Objective To construct a curriculum system for higher vocational education in speech-language-hearing rehabilitation based on the World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework(RCF),to align with international standards. Methods Based on RCF,curriculum theory and principles of vocational education psychology,a curriculum system and its content for higher vocational education in speech-language-hearing rehabilitation were developed.The curric-ulum content and core competencies were analyzed in detail across four levels:basic courses,specialized basic courses,specialized core courses and practical training courses. Results From the perspective of the seven competency domains of RCF,the theoretical and practical significance of con-structing a speech-language-hearing higher vocational education curriculum system based on RCF was systemati-cally elaborated.The study emphasized the importance of establishing competency-oriented higher vocational re-habilitation education for developing students'professional competence,adapting to job requirements,and pro-moting career development.A curriculum content system for speech-language-hearing rehabilitation higher voca-tional education based on RCF was systematically constructed,encompassing basic courses,professional cours-es,and practical training courses.The course names,main content and competency objectives at each level were analyzed in detail. Conclusion It is important to develop the course system of higher vocational education of speech-language-hearing reha-bilitation based on RCF.By comparing with international standards,the curriculum is optimized,focusing on im-proving students'vocational competence and promoting the international development.The curriculum system covers key areas such as core values,beliefs,practice and professionalism,integrates basic,core and practical training courses to achieve a competence-oriented curriculum system for higher vocational speech-language-hear-ing rehabilitation education.

Senescence of activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) is a stable growth arrest that is implicated in liver fibrosis regression. Senescent cells often accompanied by a multi-faceted senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). But little is known about how alanine-serine-cysteine transporter type-2 (ASCT2), a high affinity glutamine transporter, affects HSC senescence and SASP during liver fibrosis. Here, we identified ASCT2 is mainly elevated in aHSCs and positively correlated with liver fibrosis in human and mouse fibrotic livers. We first discovered ASCT2 inhibition induced HSCs to senescence in vitro and in vivo. The proinflammatory SASP were restricted by ASCT2 inhibition at senescence initiation to prevent paracrine migration. Mechanically, ASCT2 was a direct target of glutaminolysis-dependent proinflammatory SASP, interfering IL-1α/NF-κB feedback loop via interacting with precursor IL-1α at Lys82. From a translational perspective, atractylenolide III is identified as ASCT2 inhibitor through directly bound to Asn230 of ASCT2. The presence of -OH group in atractylenolide III is suggested to be favorable for the inhibition of ASCT2. Importantly, atractylenolide III could be utilized to treat liver fibrosis mice. Taken together, ASCT2 controlled HSC senescence while modifying the proinflammatory SASP. Targeting ASCT2 by atractylenolide III could be a therapeutic candidate for liver fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the current health status of the targeted recipients of the precision poverty alleviation program in Taiziwan Village, Shazhenxi Town, Zigui County and explore its influencing factors, and to provide reference for the formulation of local health poverty alleviation policies. Methods A cluster sampling method was used to investigate 115 poverty alleviation recipients aged 18 and above in Taiziwan Village. The status of ^“physiological health^” and ^“mental health^” was investigated using the international general SF-36 (Chinese version) health scale. Results The survey subjects were mainly the people with advanced age, low education background and suffering from chronic diseases. Except for the physiological function score being more than 70 points, the scores of other dimensions were all 60 points around. The scores were 61.74±19.86 points for physical health and 59.05±16.91 points for mental health, respectively. People aged 60 and above scored lower in all dimensions than those aged under 60. Factors that affected both physical and mental health of the whole population were advanced age and chronic diseases. While the factors that affected physical health of people aged 60 and above were chronic diseases, the factors that affected mental health were chronic diseases and a long interval between children's home visits. Conclusion The health status of people aged 60 and above is worse than that of people aged below 60. Their physical health is affected by chronic diseases, and their mental health is affected by chronic diseases and children's visit cycles. While formulating poverty alleviation policies for physical health, an attention should also be paid to mental health.

Objective To reduce infection risk in hemodialysis patients through analyzing the causes of over stand-ard colony forming unit(CFU)and conducting bacteriological detection of hemodialysis concentrated B solution. Methods According to microbial monitoring results of hemodialysis concentrate B solution in a hospital between November 2011 and May 2012,disinfection frequency of B solution was changed and dispensing container was covered during the process of using,four groups were divided according to different measures (group A disinfected twice a week,covered dur-ing the process of using;group B twice a week;group C once a week;group D once every two weeks),monthly bacte-riological detection of B solution was conducted,condition before and after disinfection of four groups were com-pared.Results Bacterial count in group A,B ,C and D was(25.41 ±15.08),(28.24±28.04),(68.58 ±22.58), and (75.25±26.63)CFU/mL,respectively (F =79.00,P <0.01 );bacterial count of group A,B,and C after in-tervention were all lower than group D before intervention (all P <0.01),bacterial count of group A and B was the lowest.The qualified rate of group A was 100.00%,the unqualified rate of group B,C,and D was 13.95%, 24.24%,and 35.94% respectively(χ2 =28.70,P <0.01 ),the unqualified rates of group A,B,and C after inter-vention were all lower than group D.Conclusion Hemodialysis concentrated B solution should be used within 24 hours after preparing,disinfected twice a week,and covered during the process of using ,so as to control B solution colony number within the standard level.

In 51 patients with gastrointestinal diseases,diseases,abdondnal X-lay Photos at lying POSition weretaken 6.5 hours after barium ined and 12 healthy volunteers served as coneal. The longitudinal axis,the transverse diameter,the number and the height of colonic bags in the colonic X-ray photes at fillingand evacuating Phases were counted.Chronic colitis was mainly manifested as loose stool, alternation ofconstipation and diarrhea,dyschesia or abdominal pain whenever desire to defecate. The colonic X-rayphotos showed that the diameter and the number of colonic bag in chronic colitis were reduced and the evacuation of barium became accelerated.These colonic X-ray images can explain the pathophysiologicmechasm of the above manifestations and may serve as a kinetic index providing evidence for the clinicaldiagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Statistical analysis of TCM syndrome differentiation and clinical symptoms were made in 163 cases of diseases of digestive tract. It was found that the patients of abnormal defection or tendecy of abnormal defecation with the hyperactive liver - Qi attacking the spleen, stagnation of liver-Qi due to hypofunction of the spleen, loose stool due to deficiency of the spleen, constipation due to Qi-deficiency, constipation due to Qi - staganation syndromes accounted for 60%- 100%. Elecrtic examination of colon on the body surface and analysis of frequancy spectrum found that hyperelectroactivity of low - frequency and high - frequency segment of colon and contractive complex myoelectric hyperactivity in the patients of the hyperactive liver - Qi attacking the spleen; hyperelectroactivity of high - frequency segment of the ascending and descending colon and contractive complex myoelectric hyperactivity and decrease of electric activity of high - frequency segment of the sigmoid colon in the patients of loose stool due to hypofunction of the spleen: obvious decrease of electric activiy of low - frequency and high-frequency of the colon and contractive complex myoelectric hyperactivity in the patients of constipation due to deficiency of Qi or Qi - stagnation, but electric activity of the high -frequency segment of the colon and contractive complex myoelectric activity after meal in the patients of constipation due to Qi -stagnation was stronger than that in the patients of constipation due to Qi - deficiency. Electric frequency spectrum of colon can indirectly reflect changes of colon dynamics of different syndromes, and it can partially expain the changes of stool and the mechanism of relative symptoms.
