Objective:To investigate the application effect of bullet screen interaction in the teaching of internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted, and 150 students were randomly divided into bullet screen interaction group and traditional interaction group and received teaching with bullet screen interaction and traditional interaction, respectively. Flanders Interaction Analysis System (FIAS), class rating, questionnaire survey, and performance test were used to evaluate the effect of classroom interaction and teaching achievement. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:Compared with the traditional interaction group, the bullet screen interaction group had a significantly lower teacher's language ratio [(62.63±2.83)% vs. (71.05±3.19)%] and significantly higher student's language ratio [(32.68±2.62)% vs. (22.79±1.32)%], teacher's indirect/direct influence ratio [(96.63±9.59)% vs. (69.84±3.48)%], and teacher's positive/negative influence ratio [(122.89±6.43)% vs. (50.58±2.35)%]. Compared with the traditional interaction group, the bullet screen interaction group had significantly higher scores of teacher's emotional atmosphere (23.82±6.54 vs. 21.01±6.51), quality of classroom activities (25.67±5.51 vs. 22.56±11.95), and information transmission of teacher's classroom interactive activities (25.46±10.30 vs. 18.44±6.52). The questionnaire survey showed that compared with the traditional interaction group, the bullet screen interaction group had a significantly higher number of the students who selected excellent and good for student interest in classroom, dullness of classroom, and the mastery of classroom knowledge [104 (69.33%)/110 (73.33%)/106 (70.67%) vs. 72(48.00%)/74 (49.33%)/84(56.00%)], and the bullet screen interaction group had significantly higher scores of basic knowledge and case analysis than the traditional interaction group (84.30±4.13/78.53±7.21 vs. 79.26±5.67/72.56±4.22).Conclusions:The application of bullet screen interaction teaching in the teaching of internal medicine of traditional Chinese medicine can help to improve interactive effect and teaching achievement.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in the South China region based on pathological tissue biomarkers for regional comparison.Methods:The study population consisted of CRS in-patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 2019 to June 2022. Among all the 181 cases, 123 of them were male and 58 were female, with an average age of 40. Retrospectively collected clinical data included demographic information, preoperative symptom scores, preoperative endoscopic images, preoperative paranasal sinus computed tomography scanning images, and inflammatory serological features. In addition, 52 variables of pathological tissue biomarkers including cytokines, chemokines and remodeling factors were collected for analysis. Cluster analysis was performed on the integrated data of training set through centroid-based clustering algorithm, and the inflammatory characteristics, post-operation control status, and airway diseases comorbidity of each endotype were analyzed. R project (version 4.2.2) was used in statistical analysis.Results:Cluster analysis divided 181 patients with CRS into 4 endotypes. Cluster 1 ( n=101, 55.80%) showed a locally low inflammatory status. Cluster 2 ( n=23, 12.71%) showed a mixed type of inflammation with predominantly neutrophilic inflammation and tissue remodeling. Cluster 3 ( n=11, 6.08%) was characterized by type Ⅱ inflammation without tissue remodeling. Cluster 4 ( n=46, 25.41%) was mainly characterized by type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling, showing higher comorbidity rate of asthma and allergic rhinitis. This cluster presented more severe symptoms, significant olfactory dysfunction, extensive overall inflammation based on objective examination results, a notable increase in total eosinophil count and proportion in peripheral blood, and the highest uncontrolled rate observed one year post-surgery. In comparison to other regions, the endotype classification of CRS in Southern China was characterized by a predominant pattern of locally low inflammatory status, a moderate level of type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling, and a lesser presence of neutrophilic inflammation. Conclusion:CRS distribution in Southern China is mainly characterized by low inflammatory endotype and type Ⅱ inflammation with tissue remodeling. The latter shows more severe clinical manifestations and higher uncontrol rate after surgery.

Objectives:To develop and validate predictive models for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) terminal motif analysis. The goal was to improve the non-invasive detection of early-stage ESCC and its precancerous lesions.Methods:Between August 2021 and November 2022, we prospectively collected plasma samples from 448 individuals at the Department of Endoscopy, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences for cfDNA extraction, library construction, and sequencing. We analyzed 201 cases of ESCC, 46 high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), 46 low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), 176 benign esophageal lesions, and 29 healthy controls. Participants, including ESCC patients and control subjects, were randomly assigned to a training set ( n=284) and a validation set ( n=122). The training cohort underwent z-score normalization of cfDNA terminal motif matrices and a selection of distinctive features differentiated ESCC cases from controls. The random forest classifier, Motif-1 (M1), was then developed through principal component analysis, ten-fold cross-validation, and recursive feature elimination. M1's efficacy was then validated in the validation and precancerous lesion sets. Subsequently, individuals with precancerous lesions were included in the dataset and participants were randomly allocated to newly formed training ( n=243), validation ( n=105), and test ( n=150) cohorts. Using the same procedure as M1, we trained the Motif-2 (M2) random forest model with the training cohort. The M2 model's accuracy was then confirmed in the validation cohort to establish the optimal threshold and further tested by performing validation in the test cohort. Results:We developed two cfDNA terminal motif-based predictive models for ESCC and associated precancerous conditions. The first model, M1, achieved a sensitivity of 90.0%, a specificity of 77.4%, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.884 in the validation cohort. For LGIN, HGIN, and T1aN0 stage ESCC, M1's sensitivities were 76.1%, 80.4%, and 91.2% respectively. Notably, the sensitivity for jointly predicting HGIN and T1aN0 ESCC reached 85.0%. Both the predictive accuracy and sensitivity increased in line with the cancer's progression ( P<0.001). The second model, M2, exhibited a sensitivity of 87.5%, a specificity of 77.4%, and an AUC of 0.857 in the test cohort. M2's sensitivities for detecting precancerous lesions and ESCC were 80.0% and 89.7%, respectively, and it showed a combined sensitivity of 89.4% for HGIN and T1aN0 stage ESCC. Conclusions:Two predictive models based on cfDNA terminal motif analysis for ESCC and its precancerous lesions are developed. They both show high sensitivity and specificity in identifying ESCC and its precancerous stages, indicating its potential for early ESCC detection.

Objective:
To observe the effects of the tofacitinib on interstitial lung disease( ILD) by regulating the JAK⁃STAT signaling pathway.
Methods:
Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal group , ILD group ,prednisone acetate group , and tofacitinib group. Except for the normal group , the other three groups were given 3mg/ml bleomycin solution for modeling. After 28 days of intragastric administration , the lung tissues of all rats were
collected for hematoxylin⁃eosin staining ( HE) and Western blot ( WB) to detect the protein levels of JAK1 and STAT1;Enzyme⁃linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect tumor necrosis factor in rat serum (TNF) Ⅳ α , interleukin (IL) Ⅳ6 , IL⁃10 , IL⁃1β .
Results :
HE staining of lung tissue in ILD ,prednisone acetate group and tofacitinib group showed alveolar tissue thickening , alveolar wall capillary congestion , bronchial luminal epithelial cells shedding, and inflammatory cell exudation. The results of WB showed that JAK1 and STAT1 significantly increased in ILD group , and decreased in different degrees compared with ILD group , tofacitinib group and prednisone acetate group (P < 0. 05) . The ELISA results showed that the expressions of serum TNF⁃α , IL⁃6 and IL⁃1β in the ILD group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P < 0. 01) . The expression of pine group decreased (P < 0. 05) , and the expression of IL⁃10 was the opposite.
Conclusion
Tofacitinib reduces lung tissue damage and the inflammatory response in the treatment of ILD by inhibiting the JAK⁃STAT pathway and down⁃regulating the expression of inflammatory factors TNF⁃α , IL⁃6 , IL⁃1β and up⁃regulating the anti⁃inflammatory factor IL⁃10.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of Mankuining Formula (MKNF) on the gut microbiota and the NOD-like receptor (NLR)P3/Caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pyroptosis pathway-mediated inflammation in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. MethodSixty SPF C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a MKNF group (20 g·kg-1), and a mesalazine group (0.266 g·kg-1), with 15 mice in each group. The UC model was induced in mice by freely drinking a 3% DSS solution for 7 days. After 12 hours of modeling, the treatment groups received daily oral administration, while the other groups received an equal volume of normal saline by gavage. Daily body weight and disease activity index (DAI) were recorded. On the 8th day, mice were euthanized after anesthesia, and the colon and feces were collected. The colon length was measured, and histopathological changes were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) levels in the colon were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The differences in gut microbiota among the groups were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing technology. The protein content of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in colon tissues was detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group, mice in the model group showed increased DAI (P<0.01), shortened colon length (P<0.01), severe colon mucosal damage, elevated levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18 (P<0.01), increased protein content of NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD in colon tissues (P<0.01), altered gut microbiota structure with decreased abundance of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria, and increased abundance of Firmicutes at the phylum level. At the genus level, there was a decrease in Lactobacillus, Alloprevotella, and Yersinia, and an increase in Bacteroides, Bacillus, and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136. Compared with the model group, the MKNF group and the mesalazine group showed a significant reduction in DAI after the 3rd day (P<0.01), a significant increase in colon length (P<0.01), alleviated colon inflammation and mucosal structural damage, and decreased TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels in the colon (P<0.01), reduced protein content of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD in colon tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01),an increase in the abundance of Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level. ConclusionMKNF can alleviate UC-induced colonic inflammation, reduce colon damage, and improve dysbiosis of the gut microbiota by inhibiting the classical pyroptosis pathway.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.
