Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the main cause of failures in drug development and the withdrawal of approved drugs from the market, and therefore, there is an increasing demand for accurate prediction and in vitro testing. However, the two-dimensional cell culture system of hepatocytes is not suitable for the toxicity study of long-term drug use due to the fact that it cannot accurately simulate and reproduce the real environment and micro-ecosystem of hepatocytes in vivo. In view of this, there is an urgent need for liver models with higher predictability to assess the hepatotoxicity of drugs in drug development and the safety evaluation of active compounds. This article reviews the construction and application of three-dimensional in vitro hepatocyte culture systems for DILI, in order to provide a reference for their effective implementation in DILI analysis.

Cognitive frailty, a novel concept in geriatric medicine, has become a focal point of recent research. Dual-task training, which innovatively integrates physical activity with cognitive rehabilitation, has shown promise in simultaneously enhancing motor function and cognitive performance in older adults with cognitive frailty. This review summarizes the concept of dual-task training, its application modalities, and its effectiveness in this population. It also proposes strategies for further implementation, aiming to provide a reference for future research and practical applications of dual-task training in cognitively frail older adults.

Mastitis,as an important disease that endangers the development of the dairy industry,causes huge economic losses to the breeding industry.Staphylococcus aureus is one of the impor-tant pathogenic bacteria that cause mastitis in dairy cows.Previous studies have found that deoxy-cholic acid(DCA)plays an important role in many diseases,but its effect on mastitis has not been reported yet.In order to investigate the effect and mechanism of DCA on Staphylococcus aureus in-duced mouse mastitis,this study constructed a Staphylococcus aureus induced mouse mastitis model,mice were intraperitoneally injected DCA(0.01,0.02,0.03 mg/g),breast tissue were col-lected,and the protective effect and mechanism of DCA on mastitis were evalued.The results showed that DCA dose dependently reduced the pathological damage of mouse breast tissue in-duced by Staphylococcus aureus;DCA inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and MPO activity induced by Staphylococcus aureus;DCA significantly reduced the con-centration of MDA and iron ions,while upregulating the expression of GSH and GPX4,indicating that DCA could inhibit ferroptosis induced by Staphylococcus aureus;Western blot results showed that DCA could upregulate TGR5 receptors,thereby inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.The above results indicate that DCA inhibits mastitis by regulating the TGR5-NF-κB signaling pathway to inhibit the inflammatory response and ferroptosis induced by Staphylococcus aureus.

Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect of a virtual reality (VR)-based accommodation training device on accommodative excess visual fatigue.Methods:A case-control study was conducted.A total of 20 normal subjects (20 eyes) and 20 patients with accommodative excess visual fatigue (20 eyes) were recruited at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University between January and December 2022.The study consisted of two phases.In the first phase, the effect of watching videos with VR glass on the subjects' subjective and objective visual function was evaluated.Normal subjects wore VR device to watch a 2D video for 30 minutes, and assessments were performed before and after viewing.These assessments included binocular accommodation/convergence function (accommodation response, accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio [AC/A]), tear film function (first tear film break-up time), subjective symptoms (visual fatigue score), and basic visual health parameters including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraocular pressure (IOP).In the second phase, the improvement in subjective and objective visual fatigue metrics with the VR-based accommodation training device was investigated.Patients with visual fatigue were divided into a traditional training group using traditional flipper lenses and a VR training group using the VR accommodation training device, with 10 eyes in each group.The effects of the VR accommodation training device on indicators such as accommodative sensitivity, accommodation response, convergence function, visual fatigue score, acceptability score, system usability score, BCVA, and IOP were evaluated and compared between the two groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (No.IIT2021007).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:In normal subjects, there was no statistically significant difference in first tear film break-up time, distance phoria, near phoria, AC/A, accommodative response, BCVA, or IOP before and after 30 minutes of continuous viewing of 2D video using VR glass ( t=1.155, 1.360, 4.479, 1.979, -1.249, -3.017, 2.211; all P>0.05).The visual fatigue score remained unchanged at (1.00±0.00) points before and after viewing.Among the subjects with visual fatigue, there were statistically significant differences in binocular accommodative sensitivity, dominant eye accommodative sensitivity, and BCVA before and after using the VR accommodation training device ( F=8.693, 4.078, 4.942; all P<0.05).Ocular accommodation sensitivity at 8 weeks after training was improved compared with 1 week after training, and BCVA at 4 weeks after training was improved compared with before training, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05).In the VR training group, the average tear film break-up time, first tear film break-up time, and BCVA increased and the visual fatigue score decreased compared with before training, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).In the traditional training group, the accommodation sensitivity of the dominant eye increased after training compared with before training, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Watching 2D videos with VR glass for 30 minutes does not induce subjective or objective symptoms of visual fatigue.The VR-based accommodation training paradigm effectively improves accommodative sensitivity and alleviates subjective symptoms of visual fatigue in individuals with accommodative excess visual fatigue.

This paper reviews the current situation of massive open online course (MOOC) construction both domestically and internationally, highlighting the similarities, differences, and limitations of MOOC construction across nations. Based on the full-cycle MOOC construction of the "clinical epidemiology" course at Southern Medical University, including course design, resource integration, online deployment, and teaching evaluation, this study explored the significance, implementation path, and challenges of MOOC construction. This paper also reflects on the activation of teaching content, teacher-student interaction, and teaching mode, aiming to provide a reference for the construction and continuous enhancement of MOOC in China.
