In response to issues in diagnostics experiment teaching for intelligent medical engineering in medical colleges and universities, such as the disconnection between theory and practice, the teaching content emphasizing "medicine" rather than "engineering", the lack of interaction between teachers and students, and the single teaching evaluation method, this study introduced the outcome-based education concept. According to the graduation requirements supported by the course, the experiment teaching reform ideas were adjusted from three aspects: setting curriculum objectives based on learning outcomes, reforming teaching strategies to achieve learning outcomes, and assessing learning outcomes to promote continuous improvement. The results of the reform show that students' satisfaction with the content, methods, and assessment of experiment teaching all exceeded 86.66%. The reform successfully integrated medicine and engineering, virtual and practical training, and teaching and ideological and political education. The reform also significantly improved the teaching effectiveness and talent cultivation level of experimental courses from the three dimensions of knowledge learning, ability improvement, and value shaping.

Objective To study the effects and mechanism of norcantharidin(NCTD)on proliferation and apoptosis of NB4 and K562 human leukemic cells by regulating phosphoprotein phosphatase 5 catalytic(PPP5C).Methods PC3.1 and PPP5C-PC3.1 plasmids were electroporated into NB4 and K562 cells.Stable NB4 and K562 cell lines were selected with geneticin(G418).Protein and mRNA expression levels of PPP5C were measured by Western blot and RT-qPCR,respectively.Proliferation,migration,and apoptosis of NB4 and K562 cells were determined by a CCK-8 assay,transwell assay,and Live & Dead? animal cell viability/toxicity detection kit,respectively.NB4 and K562 cells were divided into 0 μg/mL NCTD group and various NCTD dose groups,and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 0,8,16,or 32 μg/ml NCTD.The Live & Dead? animal cell viability/toxicity detection kit measured the numbers of dead and live cells,and cell morphology was observed under a microscope.Western blot was used to measure protein expression levels of caspase 3,Cleaved caspase 3,JNK,p-JNK,p38,p-p38,and α-Tubulin.Results Proliferation,migration,and apoptosis of NB4 and K562 cells were enhanced by overexpression of PPP5C.Compared with 0 μg/mL NCTD group,NCTD promoted apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.PPP5C overexpression antagonized the killing effect of NCTD on leukemic cells.Mechanistic investigations showed that PPP5C reduced the protein level of p-JNK by dephosphorylating and regulating the expression of apoptosis-related protein Cleaved caspase 3.Conclusions NCTD promotes apoptosis of NB4 and K562 cells and inhibits their proliferation by inhibiting PPP5C.

Objective To explore the impact of pH value of the reaction system on the properties of bovine hemoglobin modified with aldehydeated polyethylene glycol(PEG-bHb).Methods PEG-bHb conjugates were synthesized under varying pH conditions(6.0,6.5,7.4 and 8.0)of the reaction system while consistent molar ratios,temperature,and reaction time were maintained.The structural and functional attributes of PEG-bHb were characterized.Results The proportion of methemoglobin decreased with an increase in pH.In a weakly acidic reaction environment,the PEG-bHb was found to be relatively highly modified.At pH 6.5,the average number of PEG chains attached to the bHb surface was 6.86±0.38.Selective PEG modification of the N-terminal α-NH2 groups was more pronounced under weakly acidic conditions.Specifically,at pH 6.5,the modification efficiency of the N-terminal α-NH2 groups of bHb by aldehyde-activated PEG reached 95.4％for the α-chains and 99.3％for the β-chains.The PEG modification influenced the heme region microenvi-ronment of bHb,with minimal structural impact observed at pH 6.5.After modification,the oxygen affinity of PEG-bHb was enhanced,the Hill coefficient was reduced,and there were significant increases in colloid osmotic pressure,viscosity,and particle size,all of which differed markedly from the unmodified bHb group(P＜0.001).Conclusion The synthesis of PEG-bHb under weakly acidic conditions can result in a high degree of selective modification of the N-terminal α-NH2 groups and an overall high degree of modification.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, single-arm study was initiated by the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2021 (CRAFT Study, NCT05282563). Participating institutions included Nanyang Central Hospital, Zhumadian Central Hospital, Luoyang Central Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Polytechnic University, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University, Luohe Central Hospital, the People's Hospital of Hebi, First People's Hospital of Shangqiu, Anyang Tumor Hospital, First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan, and Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by preoperative gastroscopy;(2) preoperative imaging assessment indicated that R0 resection was feasible; (3) preoperative assessment showed no contraindications to surgery;(4) esophagojejunostomy planned during the procedure; (5) patients volunteered to participate in this study and gave their written informed consent; (6) ECOG score 0–1; and (7) ASA score I–III. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) history of upper abdominal surgery (except laparoscopic cholecystectomy);(2) history of gastric surgery (except endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection); (3) pregnancy or lactation;(4) emergency surgery for gastric cancer-related complications (perforation, hemorrhage, obstruction); (5) other malignant tumors within 5 years or coexisting malignant tumors;(6) arterial embolism within 6 months, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident; and (7) comorbidities or mental health abnormalities that could affect patients' participation in the study. Patients were eliminated from the study if: (1) radical gastrectomy could not be completed; (2) end-to-side esophagojejunal anastomosis was not performed during the procedure; or (3) esophagojejunal anastomosis reinforcement was not possible. Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed as follows: (1) Open surgery: the full thickness of the anastomosis is continuously sutured, followed by embedding the seromuscular layer with barbed or 3-0 absorbable sutures. The anastomosis is sutured with an average of six to eight stitches. (2) Laparoscopic surgery: the anastomosis is strengthened by counterclockwise full-layer sutures. Once the anastomosis has been sutured to the right posterior aspect of the anastomosis, the jejunum stump is pulled to the right and the anastomosis turned over to continue to complete reinforcement of the posterior wall. The suture interval is approximately 5 mm. After completing the full-thickness suture, the anastomosis is embedded in the seromuscular layer. Relevant data of patients who had undergone radical gastrectomy in the above 12 centers from June 2021 were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome was safety (e.g., postoperative complications, and treatment). Other studied variables included details of surgery (e.g., surgery time, intraoperative bleeding), postoperative recovery (postoperative time to passing flatus and oral intake, length of hospital stay), and follow-up conditions (quality of life as assessed by Visick scores).Result:[1] From June 2021 to September 2022,457 patients were enrolled, including 355 men and 102 women of median age 60.8±10.1 years and BMI 23.7±3.2 kg/m2. The tumors were located in the upper stomach in 294 patients, mid stomach in 139; and lower stomach in 24. The surgical procedures comprised 48 proximal gastrectomies and 409 total gastrectomies. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 85 patients. Other organs were resected in 85 patients. The maximum tumor diameter was 4.3±2.2 cm, number of excised lymph nodes 28.3±15.2, and number of positive lymph nodes five (range one to four. As to pathological stage,83 patients had Stage I disease, 128 Stage II, 237 Stage III, and nine Stage IV. [2] The studied surgery-related variables were as follows: The operation was successfully completed in all patients, 352 via a transabdominal approach, 25 via a transhiatus approach, and 80 via a transthoracoabdominal approach. The whole procedure was performed laparoscopically in 53 patients (11.6%), 189 (41.4%) underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery, and 215 (47.0%) underwent open surgery. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 (range, 10–1 350) mL, and the operating time 215.6±66.7 minutes. The anastomotic reinforcement time was 2 (7.3±3.9) minutes for laparoscopic-assisted surgery, 17.6±1.7 minutes for total laparoscopy, and 6.0±1.2 minutes for open surgery. [3] The studied postoperative variables were as follows: The median time to postoperative passage of flatus was 3.1±1.1 days and the postoperative gastrointestinal angiography time 6 (range, 4–13) days. The median time to postoperative oral intake was 7 (range, 2–14) days, and the postoperative hospitalization time 15.8±6.7 days. [4] The safety-related variables were as follows: In total, there were 184 (40.3%) postoperative complications. These comprised esophagojejunal anastomosis complications in 10 patients (2.2%), four (0.9%) being anastomotic leakage (including two cases of subclinical leakage and two of clinical leakage; all resolved with conservative treatment); and six patients (1.3%) with anastomotic stenosis (two who underwent endoscopic balloon dilation 21 and 46 days after surgery, the others improved after a change in diet). There was no anastomotic bleeding. Non-anastomotic complications occurred in 174 patients (38.1%). All patients attended for follow-up at least once, the median follow-up time being 10 (3–18) months. Visick grades were as follows: Class I, 89.1% (407/457); Class II, 7.9% (36/457); Class III, 2.6% (12/457); and Class IV 0.4% (2/457).Conclusion:Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) for the retreatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:The clinical data of 10 RRMM patients who received anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy for the second time (CART2) in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine due to failure or recurrence after their first anti-BCMA CAR-T (CART1) therapy from January 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment, efficacy and adverse events of patients receiving CART2 therapy were summarized; and the objective response rate (ORR), median duration of response (DOR) and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between CART1 and CART2.Results:Among 10 patients, 8 were males and 2 were females, with a median age of 57 years (41-70 years). Patients' 3-month ORR after CART1 therapy was 90%, and the median DOR was 16.0 months (3.0-27.0 months). CART2 used human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T to treat 6 cases and mouse-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T to treat 4 cases. The 3-month ORR of patients receiving CART2 therapy was 40%, and the median DOR was 8.5 months (3.0-11.0 months). Among 9 patients who received mouse-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T in CART1 therapy, 4 of them received the same product again and none of them showed curative effect. Among 6 patients retreated with human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T, 4 patients (66.7%) of them achieved partial remission (PR) or better. During CART1 therapy, 10 patients developed grade 1-2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and 7 patients developed different degrees of decrease in leukocyte, neutrophil absolute count (ANC) and platelet. Among patients who achieved effective outcomes after receiving CART2 therapy, 4 patients of them developed grade 1-2 CRS, and different degrees of decrease in white blood cell, ANC and thrombocytopenia. Immune effector cell-related neurotoxicity syndrome was not observed.Conclusions:Anti-BCMA CAR-T is effective and safe to retreat RRMM. The ORR and DOR of patients receiving CART2 therapy are lower than those of patients receiving CART1 therapy. CRS and cytopenia are common adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of lenalidomide combined with anti-B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T cell (anti-BCMA CAR-T) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with RRMM who underwent lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy in Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in January 2020 were analyzed. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment were also analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 51-year-old man who was diagnosed as IgD-λ multiple myeloma (MM) in October 2015. The patient achieved remission after 10 courses of chemotherapy regimens including immunomodulators and proteasome inhibitors, followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. MM relapsed after 14 months of transplantation. His disease continued to progress after multiple chemotherapy regimens and mouse or human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy. After a conditioning chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, the patient took lenalidomide on day 1 and was infused human-derived anti-BCMA CAR-T cells on the next day. Grade 3 cytokine releasing syndrome (CRS) appeared after infusion, and was resolved after symptomatic treatment. Very good partial response (VGPR) was achieved on day 14 after anti-BCMA CAR-T treatment. VGPR had been maintained for more than 3 months by press time.Conclusion:Lenalidomide combined with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy is feasible and effective in the treatment of RRMM.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of ultrasound intervention combined with antibiotics in the treatment of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess, and to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 100 patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2015 to November 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The patient's gender, age, abscess diameter, number of abscesses, abscess separation, air cavity formation and length of hospital stay were recorded. The blood white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil percentage (GR%), platelet count (PLT), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), prothrombin activity (PTA) before and after treatment were analyzed.Results:After treatment, the infection indexes (WBC, GR%, PLT, CRP, PCT) were significantly decreased, and the liver function indexes (ALT, AST, TBIL, PTA) were significantly improved ( P<0.05). Patients were divided into two groups according to diabetes. The results showed that the diabetic group was prone to air cavity formation (χ 2=8.632, P=0.003), and there was no significant difference between other clinical indicators among the groups ( P>0.05). Diabetes mellitus group was divided into two groups based on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 9%. The results showed that the HbA1c>9% group was younger ( t=2.861, P=0.006), more male (χ 2=6.81, P=0.013), and more prone to form multiple abscesses (χ 2=10.304, P=0.001), while the other clinical indicators were not statistically significant. Conclusions:Ultrasound intervention combined with antibiotics can effectively treat liver abscess. Patients with diabetes are prone to air cavity formation, which should be paid more attention in clinic.

Objective:To establish a disease risk prediction model for the newborn screening system of inherited metabolic diseases by artificial intelligence technology.Methods:This was a retrospectively study. Newborn screening data ( n=5 907 547) from February 2010 to May 2019 from 31 hospitals in China and verified data ( n=3 028) from 34 hospitals of the same period were collected to establish the artificial intelligence model for the prediction of inherited metabolic diseases in neonates. The validity of the artificial intelligence disease risk prediction model was verified by 360 814 newborns ' screening data from January 2018 to September 2018 through a single-blind experiment. The effectiveness of the artificial intelligence disease risk prediction model was verified by comparing the detection rate of clinically confirmed cases, the positive rate of initial screening and the positive predictive value between the clinicians and the artificial intelligence prediction model of inherited metabolic diseases. Results:A total of 3 665 697 newborns ' screening data were collected including 3 019 cases ' positive data to establish the 16 artificial intelligence models for 32 inherited metabolic diseases. The single-blind experiment ( n=360 814) showed that 45 clinically diagnosed infants were detected by both artificial intelligence model and clinicians. A total of 2 684 cases were positive in tandem mass spectrometry screening and 1 694 cases were with high risk in artificial intelligence prediction model of inherited metabolic diseases, with the positive rates of tandem 0.74% (2 684/360 814)and 0.46% (1 694/360 814), respectively. Compared to clinicians, the positive rate of newborns was reduced by 36.89% (990/2 684) after the application of the artificial intelligence model, and the positive predictive values of clinicians and artificial intelligence prediction model of inherited metabolic diseases were 1.68% (45/2 684) and 2.66% (45/1 694) respectively. Conclusion:An accurate, fast, and the lower false positive rate auxiliary diagnosis system for neonatal inherited metabolic diseases by artificial intelligence technology has been established, which may have an important clinical value.
