ObjectiveTo investigate the demand and the application outcomes of case-based learning (CBL) combined with teaching case library in continuing education courses for rehabilitation therapists. MethodsA convergent mixed-methods research design was adopted, involving 51 rehabilitation therapists and 31 instructors who participated in the advanced training program at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital between October, 2022 and October, 2024. Self-developed questionnaires were used to collect data on the perceived needs of teachers and students regarding CBL and teaching case library. Differences between CBL + teaching case library and traditional lecturing in student evaluations, classroom participation and interaction were compared using Student Evaluation of Teaching in Medical Lectures, Classroom Participation Scale and Flanders Interaction Analysis System. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain evaluations and attitudes towards this method from both instructors and students' perspectives. ResultsThe survey showed that 91.4% of participating teachers and students supported the use of CBL in the courses, and 82.7% advocated that the teaching case library should include typical cases. Significant differences were observed in teaching preference between teachers and students (χ² = 17.597, P < 0.01). Application effects demonstrated that CBL+teaching library significantly outperformed traditional teaching methods in student previewing behaviors, classroom interaction and learning outcomes (|Z| ≥ 2.646, P < 0.01). Flanders Interaction Analysis indicated that CBL+teaching library was superior to traditional teaching in terms of students' motivation to speak and autonomous learning. Qualitative Research generated four positive themes including cultivating clinical reasoning, being close to clinical practice, deepening knowledge understanding and improving teaching quality; and three negative themes including increasing teaching burden, high software and hardware requirements and posing great challenges to students were generated. ConclusionCompared with traditional teaching methods, CBL combined with teaching case library is closely linked to clinical practice, facilitating students' clinical reasoning, enhancing teaching effectiveness and satisfaction, and therefore aligning with the goals and needs of continuing education for rehabilitation therapists, which is highly recognized by both instructors and students.

Objective: To statistically analyze the association between blood donation intervals and the incidence of adverse reactions to blood donation based on blood donor data from Shenzhen. Methods: Basic data and records of adverse reactions to blood donation among voluntary whole blood donors in Shenzhen from January 2017 to June 2025 were extracted. A total of 795 404 whole blood donations were recorded, including 502 743 from males and 292 661 from females, with 1 088 and 751 cases of adverse reactions, respectively. Analyses were performed using R software, including restricted cubic spline (RCS), binary logistic regression, and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to evaluate the correlation between donation intervals and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 1 839 cases of adverse reactions were recorded, accounting for 0.23% of the total donations. Both binary logistic regression analysis and the generalized estimating equations (GEE) model showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between male and female donors with an interval of ≥6 months compared to those with an interval of ≥3 months but<6 months. Furthermore, using the 3-5 month interval group as the reference, the analysis indicated that the incidence of adverse reactions significantly increased in males with a 9-12 month interval, while no statistically significant differences were observed across any of the female subgroups. Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between adverse reactions to blood donation and the donation interval. Compared with a donation interval of ≥6 months, an interval of<6 months does not lead to an increase in the incidence of adverse reactions among male or female donors. The findings of this study may help enhance the willingness of blood donors to participate.

Objective: To statistically analyze the association between blood donor age and the incidence of adverse reactions based on whole blood donor data from Shenzhen. Methods: Data on basic characteristics and records of adverse donation reactions among voluntary whole blood donors in Shenzhen from January 2017 to June 2025 were extracted. A total of 795 404 whole blood donations were recorded, including 502 743 from males and 292 661 from females, with 1 088 and 751 cases of adverse reactions, respectively. Analyses were performed using R software, including restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, binary logistic regression, and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to evaluate the correlation between donor age and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 1 839 cases of adverse reactions were recorded, accounting for 0.23% of the total donations. Both binary logistic regression and GEE model revealed that, compared with the≤55 years age group, the incidence of adverse reactions was reduced in both male and female donors in the >55 years age group, with the difference being statistically significant in males. Using the <23 years age group as a reference, the incidence of adverse reactions significantly decreased in both male and female donors across the 23-30, 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60 age groups, with the differences being statistically significant. Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between the rate of adverse donation reactions and age, with the incidence of such reactions among whole blood donors over 55 years old being no higher than that among donors aged 55 years or younger. These findings carry positive significance for safeguarding the donation rights of older donors and meeting clinical blood demand.

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of psychological flexibility between recurrence risk perception and health behavior in stroke patients.Methods:From July to December 2024, 233 stroke patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected using convenience sampling. Electronic questionnaires were used to collect patients' general information, perception of stroke recurrence risk, health behavior, and psychological flexibility.Results:The scores for recurrence risk perception, psychological flexibility, and health behavior of 233 stroke patients were (39.75±4.39), (47.45±4.19), and (54.04±3.78), respectively. Health behavior were positively correlated with recurrence risk perception ( r=0.495, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with psychological flexibility ( r=-0.367, P<0.01). Psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between recurrence risk perception and health behavior, with an effect value of 0.080 and an effect proportion of 17.5% (0.080/0.458) . Conclusions:Recurrence risk perception not only directly predicts health behavior in stroke patients but also indirectly influences their health behavior through psychological flexibility. Healthcare providers should enhance recurrence risk perception among stroke patients and incorporate the improvement of psychological flexibility as part of intervention strategies to improve patients' health behavior.

Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Recent studies have identified iron overload as a significant risk factor for T2DM, wherein excess iron contributes to β-cell dysfunction through multiple pathways, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and a reduction in the number of pancreatic β-cells.These mechanisms adversely affect insulin synthesis, secretion, and release.This review aims to summarize the recent advancements in understanding the relationship between iron overload and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction.

Objective:To characterize fine motor function in middle-aged and elderly individuals utilizing a novel wearable inertial motion capture device.Additionally, it seeks to investigate the relationship between fine motor deficits and overall cognitive function, as well as various cognitive dimensions.Methods:Participants aged 50 years and older were recruited between November 2022 and April 2023.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was employed to evaluate the cognitive function of the subjects, and a radar chart was utilized to illustrate the extent of impairment across different cognitive dimensions.An independent computerized fine motor evaluation system was developed using the motion capture technology of a novel wearable microelectromechanical system(MEMS)inertial sensor, enabling a quantitative assessment of fine motor skills.The differences in fine motor function characteristics between the two groups were compared.Spearman's correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to examine the relationship between fine motor deficits and cognitive dysfunction.Results:A total of 289 participants were recruited, among whom 140(48.4%)were classified into the cognitive impairment group.The mean MoCA scores for the cognitive impairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group were 22.2 ± 2.79 and 27.7 ± 1.19, respectively( P<0.001).The electronic assessment of fine motor function revealed that the motion parameters of hand function in the cognitive impairment group were significantly poorer across all three numerical evaluation tasks.Spearman's correlation analysis demonstrated a robust correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction.Furthermore, in the multiple logistic regression model, after adjusting for potential confounding factors including age, gender, and education level, a significant association between cognitive dysfunction and fine motor dysfunction persisted. Conclusions:A novel wearable motion capture technology was employed to facilitate the digital assessment of fine motor function.The findings revealed a significant correlation between deficits in fine motor function and cognitive dysfunction among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Maternal obesity has been shown to exert adverse transgenerational effects on offspring ovarian function,characterized by reduced ovarian follicle reserve,impaired granulosa cell function,and disrupted reproductive cycles.The underlying mechanisms involve cellular stress-induced damage characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,and apoptosis,as well as dysregulation in key regulatory pathways such as ovarian hormone secretion,gene expression,and epigenetic modifications.This review synthesizes existing evidence on how maternal obesity-induced acute stress and chronic genetic/epigenetic alterations jointly contribute to offspring ovarian impairment.The findings elu-cidate the complex relationship between maternal metabolic status and offspring reproductive health,providing a robust theoretical foundation for refining prenatal management and developing targeted intervention strategies.

Objective To compare the application effects of bronchial blocker(BB)and double-lumen endotracheal tube(DLT)in pediatric thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods A total of 80 pediatric patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy at Xuzhou Children's Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023 were randomly divided into the DLT group(n=40)and the BB group(n=40)by envelope drawing.The DLT group received treatment with double-lumen endotracheal tubes,while the BB group was treated with bronchial blockers.Perioperative indicators,mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)at different times,airway pressure,pre-and post-operative recovery quality scores(QoR-15),intraoperative lung collapse(LCS)scores,modified Aldrete recovery scores,and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The comparison of single-lung ventilation time,intubation positioning time,and anesthesia time between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05);however,the operation time of the BB group was(68.37±6.28)minutes and the hospital stay was(4.56±0.35)days,while those of the DLT group were(76.87±8.34)minutes and(5.97±0.70)days,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)before induction(T0)between the two groups(P＞0.05).The MAP of the BB group immediately after intubation(T1),2 minutes after intubation(T2),immediately after extubation(T3),and 2 minutes after extubation(T4)was(91.53±8.28)mmHg,(89.58±8.72)mmHg,(89.33±8.97)mmHg,and(95.40±9.86)mmHg,respectively.The HRS were(72.74±6.35)times/minute,(72.83±6.82)times/minute,(71.19±6.57)times/minute,and(73.63±7.46)times/minute respectively.The MAP in the DLT group was(83.88±7.29)mmHg,(83.40±7.66)mmHg,(85.17±7.91)mmHg,and(89.42±9.15)mmHg,respectively.HR was(66.68±6.17)times/minute,(64.27±6.19)times/minute,(65.97±6.28)times/minute,and(68.80±6.27)times/minute,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The airway pressures of the BB group at 5 minutes of bilateral lung ventilation(T5),5 minutes of unilateral lung ventilation(T6),and 5 minutes of recovery of bilateral lung ventilation(T7)were(14.36±2.46)cmH2O,(17.34±2.75)cmH2O,and(15.30±2.32)emH2O,respectively.The values in the DLT group were(17.77±2.85)cmH2O,(21.35±3.17)cmH2O,and(18.49±2.99)cmH2O,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in QOR-15 score and modified Aldrete recovery score one day before the operation between the two groups(P＞0.05).One day after surgery,the QOR-15 score of the BB group was(119.33±12.20)points,and the intraoperative LCS score was(7.70±0.61)points,while those of the DLT group were(107.60±10.10)and(6.31±0.57)points,respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions was 10.0％in the BB group and 27.5％in the DLT group.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of bronchial blockers in pediatric thoracoscopic lobectomy shows better results compared to double-lumen endotracheal tubes.
