ObjectiveBiochemistry and Molecular Biology, a discipline that elucidates life phenomena at the molecular level, serves as a core foundational course in medical education. It provides the theoretical basis for studying other basic and clinical medical subjects, as well as for understanding pathogenesis, disease diagnosis, and treatment. However, its complex content and highly abstract concepts have posed a dual challenge to traditional teaching models: “inefficient instruction” and “inadequate learning outcomes”. Within limited classroom hours, how to engage students and stimulate their intrinsic motivation, and how to help them recognize, understand, and develop a passion for biochemistry from the perspective of the discipline’s essence, have long been key focuses of curriculum research. MethodsUsing the lipid metabolism chapter as an example, this study employs “Rain Classroom”, a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted platform, to support education in four dimensions: teaching, learning, evaluation, and research. In teaching, it assists instructors through virtual experiments, lesson preparation support, knowledge mapping, and assignment design. For learning, it serves as an intelligent study assistant for students, providing automated assignment review, enabling educational resource sharing, and facilitating personalized learning pathways. In evaluation, the platform automates assignment grading, analyzes student performance data, and offers diagnostic feedback and teaching recommendations. In research, it aids educators in collecting and analyzing teaching data, as well as searching for and summarizing relevant literature. ResultsThe results indicate that an educational model integrating teacher-led instruction, student-centered learning, and generative AI assistance significantly enhances teaching quality, students’ self-directed learning abilities, and knowledge mastery. Furthermore, with the support of generative AI, curriculum-based ideological education—focusing on cutting-edge disciplinary advances and topical medical issues—helps cultivate students’ medical spirit of “honoring life and healing the wounded”, thereby fostering the establishment of appropriate professional values. Finally, while generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges for higher education, this study also analyzes potential risks in its teaching applications, emphasizing the need for both instructors and students to avoid over-reliance and to ensure that technological tools consistently serve the fundamental goals of education. ConclusionThis study demonstrates that integrating generative AI, specifically via the “Rain Classroom” platform, can effectively enhance biochemistry education. By supporting teaching, learning, evaluation, and research, this approach improves both educational effectiveness and student outcomes. It also facilitates the incorporation of cutting-edge knowledge and professional ethics, nurturing a patient-centered mindset. Additionally, the study addresses potential implementation risks to ensure that such technological tools remain aligned with the core purpose of education.

Abstract To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

Autophagy is a fundamental biological metabolic process involved in immune defense, material metabolism, and homeostasis and closely linked to immune regulation. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a widespread connective tissue disorder primarily resulting from immune system imbalance. Due to the immune system's failure to recognize its own substances, it generates autoantibodies that can affect various tissues and organs, leading to diverse clinical manifestations. The pathogenesis and treatment of SLE are currently under extensive investigation. In normal metabolic processes, autophagy engages in both innate and adaptive immunity, regulates the immune response, and is crucial for maintaining normal immune function and the body's internal homeostasis. Research has indicated that SLE patients exhibit immune dysfunction and altered autophagy levels. Modulating autophagy expression can influence immune system functionality and alleviate SLE symptoms. Additionally, autophagy aids in the innate immune response and adaptive immunity by clearing metabolites and regulating the life cycle of immune cells. Studies suggest that drugs targeting autophagy can positively influence the progression of SLE. This article reviews advancements in research regarding the impact of autophagy on the pathogenesis of SLE through the regulation of immune system functions.

Objective To understand the current status of application,management,and maintenance of automa-ted endoscope reprocessors(AERs)in China.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted using convenience sampling method on the application,management,maintenance,and monitoring of AERs,as well as personnel training in digestive endoscopy centers of 292 medical institutions(MIs).Results A total of 316 questionnaires were distributed,and 292 were available,with an effective response rate of 92.41％.Among the 292 MIs,198(67.81％)were equipped with AERs,with equipment rates of 75.11％in tertiary MIs and 41.27％in secondary MIs.88.38％of MIs performed manual cleaning before placing endoscopes into AERs,while 2.02％of MIs still didn't perform this step,mainly in tertiary MIs.The most common problems in the application of AERs were the detachment or damage of connecting pipes(83.33％),followed by disinfectant leakage of AERs(43.94％),mal-function of control panel(43.94％),and failure or poor water flow of AER pipeline(42.93％).92.42％of MIs regularly disinfected AERs,72.73％of MIs regularly replaced AER air filters,and 80.30％of MIs regularly re-placed AER water filters.96.46％of MIs monitored the concentration of disinfectants before daily application of AERs,87.88％of MIs regularly monitored the final rinse water of AERs,and 96.97％of MIs provided professio-nal training for new employees to use AERs for the first time.Conclusion The equipping rate of AERs at all levels of MIs in China still needs to be improved.Most MIs are able to monitor and maintain AERs well,but there are still many problems in the application process.Due to the large volume of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment as well as insufficient execution rate of manual cleaning in tertiary MIs,it is necessary to optimize workflow and strengthen training.Secondary MIs face challenges such as equipment shortages and low monitoring execution rates,requiring increased funding and regulatory efforts.It is recommended that manufacturers continuously optimize AER design,MIs establish standardized AER application protocol,and relevant departments improve AER application and ma-nagement standards,in order to improve the quality of endoscopic cleaning and disinfection and ensure patient safety during diagnosis and treatment.
