Objective:To explore the effectiveness of applying the learning group teaching method based on primary care guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of common diseases in the standardized training of general practice residents (referred to as "general practice resident training").Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 48 trainees enrolled in the general practice residency program at the Affiliated Huai′an No.1 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2023 to August 2024 were included. They were divided into the observation group and the control group using a random number table method, with 24 trainees in each group. At baseline, general information such as age, sex, and education level of the trainees was collected, and their relevant theoretical knowledge was assessed. The control group trainees were intervened using the traditional teaching method, while the observation group trainees were intervened using the learning group teaching method based on the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for common diseases at primary care level. The teaching activities lasted for 1 year, with sessions held once a month, for a total of 12 sessions. At the end of the intervention, all trainees were assessed on theoretical knowledge, case analysis, and clinical skills. In addition, questionnaires were used separately to survey the trainees′ satisfaction in both groups, as well as the teaching satisfaction of instructors in the observation group.Results:The observation group included 18 females (75%), with a median age of 25 (24, 26) years, while the control group had 16 females (67%), with a median age of 25 (24, 26) years. There was no statistically significant difference in the age, proportion of female trainees, proportion of rural order oriented free medical students, proportion of undergraduate students, proportion of first-year trainees, and theoretical knowledge test scores before the implementation of intervention measures between the two groups of trainees (all P>0.05). At the end of the intervention, the theoretical knowledge, case analysis, and clinical skill test scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). All 48 trainees participated in the survey. The observation group trainees were found to be more satisfied than the control group with the teaching methods, knowledge mastery, clinical diagnosis and treatment thinking, stimulation of learning interest, self-learning ability, teaching interest, interpersonal communication ability, teamwork ability, and community problem-solving ability (all P<0.05). Of the four teachers in the observation group who participated in the satisfaction survey, all expressed satisfaction with the teaching method and its content. They all believed that the teaching method helped them to broaden their teaching ideas and improve their teaching abilities and skills. Conclusions:The learning group teaching method, which is based on the diagnosis and treatment guidelines for common diseases at primary care level, can effectively enhance the theoretical knowledge, case analysis ability, and clinical skills of the trainees. This teaching method is highly effective, with both trainees and teachers expressing great satisfaction.

Pathological staging comprised 1 patient of T a（2.7%），9 of T 1（24.3%），7 of T 2（18.9%），19 of T 3（51.4%），and 1 of T 4（2.7%）. In this validation cohort，no significant differences were found in gender，age，tumor multiplicity，or pedunculated morphology between the PUC and VUC subgroups（ P > 0.05）. Significant differences were observed in pathological grade，pathological stage，and maximum tumor diameter（ P < 0.05）. Three radiologists independently reviewed and scored the multiparametric MRI（mp-MRI）in a blinded manner. Inter-reader agreement was assessed using the weighted kappa statistic. Differences in variables between the two groups were compared using t-tests，chi-square tests，or Fisher’s exact test. The diagnostic performance of VI-RADS for muscle invasion in VUC and PUC was comprehensively evaluated using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curves，the area under the curve（AUC），and cut-off values determined by the Youden’s index. The DeLong test was used to assess whether the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS differed between VUC and PUC. Results:In the retrospective single-center cohort，the AUC of VI-RADS for assessing muscle invasion was 0.895（95% CI 0.864?0.922）in the PUC group，with a cut-off value of > 3，and the AUC was 0.896（95% CI 0.791-0.960）in the VUC group，with a cut-off value of > 3. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant（ P = 0.986）. Using a VI-RADS score > 3 as the cut-off value，the accuracy，sensitivity，specificity，positive predictive value（PPV），and negative predictive value（NPV）for diagnosing muscle invasion status in the PUC group were 85.8%（392/457），70.5%（98/139），92.5%（294/318），80.3%（98/122），and 87.8%（294/335），respectively.

The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant（ P = 0.897）. Using a VI-RADS score > 3 as the cut-off value，the accuracy，sensitivity，specificity，PPV，and NPV for diagnosing muscle invasion status in the PUC group were 85.9%（207/241），58.9%（33/56），94.1%（174/185），75.0%（33/44），and 88.3%（174/197），respectively. The corresponding values for the VUC group were 81.1%（30/37），77.8%（21/27），90.0%（9/10），95.5%（21/22），and 60.0%（9/15）.In the single-center cohort，the Kappa values for inter-reader agreement in assessing muscle invasion status using VI-RADS were 0.881（ P < 0.01）for the PUC group and 0.941（ P < 0.01）for the VUC group among the three readers. In the multicenter cohort，the Kappa values were 0.858（ P < 0.01）for the PUC group and 0.838（ P < 0.01）for the VUC group. Conclusions:VI-RADS demonstrates similarly high diagnostic performance for assessing muscle invasion in both PUC and VUC，which is applicable for diagnosing muscle invasion status in VUC，and shows good inter-reader agreement.

【Objective】 To evaluate the significance of Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) in predicting surgical difficulty and postoperative recovery in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN). 【Methods】 The clinical data of 168 RCC patients who received transabdominal LRN during Jan.2017 and Dec.2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to MAP, the patients were divided into low MAP group (n=100) and high MAP group (n=68). The differences in perioperative clinical data were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 Compared with low MAP group, the high MAP group had longer operation time (P<0.001), more intraoperative blood loss (P<0.001), higher Clavien-Dindo grade complications (P=0.008), longer hospital stay (P=0.003), higher levels of c-reactive protein (P=0.030) and IL-6 (P=0.009), lower levels of albumin (P<0.001) and prealbumin (P=0.020). 【Conclusion】 MAP can assess the risk of prolonged operation time, increased bleeding during transabdominal LRN, and postoperative recovery, thus guiding the preoperative planning.

Forty trainees who underwent position-transition training for general practitioner in the Affiliated Huai′an First People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from August 2021 to July 2022 were randomly divided into the control group and the trial group with 20 in each group. The traditional teaching methods were applied in control group and the problem-based learning/case-based learning (PBL/CBL) combined scenario simulation teaching method were applied in trial group. The effect of the two teaching methods was evaluated by the examination results and the teaching satisfaction was assessed by the questionnaire survey. The exam scores of general practice thinking, comprehensiveness of inquiry content, integrity of preliminary diagnosis, comprehensiveness of preliminary treatment, ability to deal with critical and severe cases, ability of chronic disease management and concept of holistic care in trial group were significantly higher than those in control group( t=-15.79,-15.74,-16.67,-13.66,-18.57,-18.55,-19.74,all P<0.05). The satisfaction of trainees in the trial group was also significantly higher than that in the control group in terms of teaching methods, stimulating learning interest; and improvement of independent learning ability, general practice clinical thinking, doctor-patient communication ability, teamwork ability and community problem-solving ability( χ2=12.10,10.03,12.22,10.03,8.18,10.03,8.18,all P<0.05). The study shows that PBL/CBL combined scenario simulation teaching method can improve the learning effect and satisfaction of the trainees in position-transition training for general practitioner.

Methods 37 non-medical institutions of nuclear technology utilization in Huai'an City were surveyed by questionnaire, including radioisotope and radiation apparatus, personal dose monitoring of radiation workers, implementation of occupational health examination, protective equipment, etc. Results The industry covers manufacturing industry, transportation, warehousing and postal industry, scientific research and technical service industry, residential service, repair and other service industries, 0 class I radiation device, 15 class II radiation devices, 67 class III radiation devices; 0 class I and II radiation sources, 1 class III radiation device, 16 class IV radiation sources, 51 class V radiation sources, 1 unsealed radioactive material Class B workplace; 493 radiation workers, 90.5% with certificates, 85.4% with personal dose monitoring rate, rate of 37.8% with radiation protection monitoring equipment, and 68.0% with occupational health examination rate. It has 13 institutions equipped with personal protective equipment, 23 with dose alarming devices and 14 with radiation protection monitors. 30 radiation workplace tests have been carried out in the past two years. Conclusion The occupational health management of radiation workers in non-medical institutions is weak. At present, the responsibility of occupational health supervision has been assigned to the health department. Therefore, the health administrative department should strengthen the supervision of non-medical nuclear technology utilization institutions and improve the emergency mechanism of radiation emergencies in Huai'an city.

A method was established for simultaneous determination of 21 active constituents including flavanols, isoflavones, flavonols, dihydroflavones, dihydroflavonols, chalcones, pterocarpan, anthocyanidins and phenolic acids in Spatholobi Caulis by ultra fast liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry(UFLC-QTRAP-MS/MS). Then, it was employed to analyze and evaluate the dynamic accumulation of multiple bioactive constituents in Spatholobi Caulis. The chromatographic separation was performed on a XBridge®C_(18)(4.6 mm×100 mm, 3.5 μm) at 30 ℃ with a gradient elution of 0.3% formic acid aqueous solution-methanol, and the flow rate was 0.8 mL·min~(-1), using multiple-reaction monitoring(MRM) mode. A comprehensive evaluation of the multiple bioactive constituents was carried out by gray correlation analysis(GRA). The 21 target components showed good linearity(r>0.999 0) in the range of the tested concentrations. The average recovery rates of the 21 components were from 97.46% to 103.6% with relative standard deviations less than 5.0%. There were differences in the contents of 21 components in Spatholobi Caulis at diffe-rent harvest periods. Spatholobi Caulis had high quality from early November to early December, which is consistent with the local tradi-tional harvest period. This study reveals the rule of the dynamic accumulation of 21 components in Spatholobi Caulis and provides basic information for the suitable harvest time. At the same time, it provides a new method reference for the comprehensive evaluation of the internal quality of Spatholobi Caulis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) expression of perirenal fat on the prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) .Methods:From Feb. 2013 to Oct. 2013 and Mar. 2015 to Oct. 2015, 98 patients with ccRCC who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy were analyzed. UCP1 mRNA of perirenal fat around tumor was detected by RT-qPCR. Preoperative Computed tomography (CT) images were used to evaluate the thickness and adhesiveness of perirenal fat. According to the UCP1 mRNA value, the patients were divided into high UCP1 group (42 cases) and low UCP1 group (56 cases) . The general clinical data, perirenal fat thickness and adhesiveness were compared, and Kaplan Meier curve was used to evaluate the difference of progression free survival (PFS) between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to determine the potential independent prognostic factors of PFS.Results:In the high UCP1 group, the renal fat thickness, the ratio of fat adhesion, the ratio of Ⅲ to Ⅳ in Fuhrman grade and the ratio of >T2 in T stage were higher than those in the low UCP1 group[ (13.84±2.41) vs (10.75±1.99) , 42.86% vs 16.07%, 28.57% vs 8.93%, 21.43% vs. 5.36%; P=0.000, P=0.003, P=0.011, P= 0.037]. During the follow-up period (median, 62.0 months) , 15 cases (12 cases of high UCP1 group, 3 case of low UCP1 group) developed tumor progression. Kaplan Meier curve showed that PFS of high UCP1 group was worse than that of low UCP1 group (71.43% vs 94.64%, P=0.001) . Cox regression analysis showed that high UCP1 expression and high T stage were significantly correlated with low PFS ( β=1.334, RR=3.796, 95% CI=1.009-14.280, P= 0.048; β=2.886, RR=17.930, 95% CI=5.538-58.047, P=0.000) . Conclusions:The increased UCP1 expression of perirenal fat may be an independent risk factor of tumor progression in ccRCC. Combined with the assessment of browning of perirenal adipose tissue may be helpful for risk stratification of ccRCC patients after surgery.

Objective: To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of 18 cases of severe aortic stenosis with ventricular septum hypertrophy. Methods: Clinical data of 18 patients with severe aortic stenosis admitted to the first affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected. There were 7 males and 11 females. The mean age was (50.4±4.2) years old. All patients were diagnosed with severe stenosis of main artery valve by echocardiography before surgery, with mean aortic valve orifice area (0.57±0.11) cm^2, cardiac function (NYHA classification) grade Ⅱ in 4 patients, grade Ⅲ in 9 patients, and grade Ⅳ in 5 patients. There were 8 patients with mild aortic valve insufficiency, 4 patients with mild to moderate mitral valve insufficiency, 2 patients with moderate to severe aortic valve insufficiency, 3 patients with ascending aorta dilatation (ascending aorta inner diameter>4.5 cm), and 1 patient with atrial fibrillation. Interventricular septum thickness (15.82±2.04)mm, left ventricular posterior wall thickness (14.04±1.28)mm, ratio of interventricular septum thickness to left ventricular posterior wall thickness (IVS/LVPW) 1.12±0.91, inner diameter of left ventricular outflow tract (19.01±1.74)mm, cross-lobe differential pressure (102±8.40) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) mean 0.49±0.05. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (53.33±4.00) mm, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) (27.11±1.99) mm, and left ventricular mass index (277.1±37.3) g/m². All patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and partial interventricular septum resection under general anesthesia and conventional extracorporeal circulation, 2 patients underwent mitral valve formation (artificial valve ring), 2 patients underwent ascending aorta formation, and 1 patient underwent ascending aorta wrapping. During the operation, the time of extracorporeal circulation, aortic occlusion, number of defibrillation during the operation, type of valve implantation and postoperative complications were recorded. Regular follow-up was conducted to analyze the changes of various indexes at different preoperative and postoperative time. Results: There was no death in the whole group. 2 patients were treated with temporary pacemakers. After drug treatment, sinus rhythm was restored on the 3rd and 6th day after surgery, and temporary pacemakers were removed. Echocardiography reexamination 1 week after the operation showed that all patients had a good artificial valve function and 2 patients had minor regurgitation of mitral valve. The difference in pressure across the valve, inner diameter of the left ventricular outflow tract, cardiac function classification, ventricular septum thickness, valve orifice area, and left ventricular mass index were significantly improved compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD were compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the difference in LVEF and LVEDD was statistically significant compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). Conclusion Severe aortic stenosis combined with ventricular septum hypertrophy and partial ventricular septal muscle resection is a simple additional procedure in the AVR process, which does not increase the surgical risk and has a significant effect, and is conducive to postoperative left ventricular function recovery.
