Objective To investigate whether interleukin-37(IL-37)affects macrophage M1 polarization via nu-cleotide oligomerization of structural domain receptor protein 1(NOD1)/nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)in plasma cell mastitis.Methods A total of 15 patients with plasma cell mastitis were recruited according to the collection standard as inflammatory breast tissue and normal breast tissue with a distance of ≥ 3 cm from the edge of the in-flammatory breast tissue.QPCR was performed to detect NOD1 and IL-3.Phorbol ester(PE)was used to induce THP-1 cells to differentiate into resting macrophages(M0).Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)combined with interferon(IFN-γ)was used to induce the polarization of M0 macrophages towards the M1 phenotype.NOD1 lentiviral RNA interference or over-expression vectors were constructed to regulate the expression of NOD1 in M1 macrophages.M0 macrophages were pretreated with IL-37 recombinant protein and then incubated with LPS and IFN-γ for induction.The expression of NOD1,IL-37,M1 markers(IL-6 and iNOS)and M2 markers(IL-10 and Arg-1)was quantified by qPCR.Western blot was employed to assess the protein level of NOD1,NF-κB p65,and p-NF-κB p65.Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the interaction between NOD1 and IL-37.Results Up-regulation of NOD1 and down-regulation of IL-37 as were found in inflammatory breast tissues(P<0.05).Compared to M0 cells,M1 cells showed up-regulated NOD1 and M1 markers and the elevated phosphorylated NF-κB p65 but the down-regulated IL-37(P<0.05).In M1 macrophages,both NF-κB inhibitor and NOD1 knockdown led to the down-regulation of NOD1 and M1 markers and caused a decrease in the phosphorylated NF-κB p65(P<0.05).IL-37 recombinant protein decreased phosphorylation of NOD1,M1 marker and NF-κB p65,which was reversed by over-expression of NOD1.IL-37 may interact with NOD1(P<0.05).Conclusions IL-37 may inhibit M1 polarization in macrophages by down-regulating NOD1/NF-κB pathway thereby preventing plasma cell mastitis progression.

The organ system-integrated curriculum system overcomes the limitations of single teaching methods and the drawbacks of neglecting holism and interconnectedness, effectively transforming knowledge into competency. Tianjin Medical University has pioneered the "double-track integrated teaching reform" to align with the objective of training undergraduate clinical medical talents. This system is centered on the eight major human body systems, breaking traditional disciplinary boundaries and achieving systematic integration of basic medical and clinical courses. First implemented in 2019 in the "5+3" clinical and pediatric programs, the system has undergone three rounds of teaching practice since 2021, forming a distinctive integrated curriculum system. Using the circulatory system as a model, the reform reorganized teaching content, developed specialized textbooks, and assembled interdisciplinary teaching teams, fostering a shared instructional approach through cross-disciplinary training. The teaching model integrates theoretical and practical learning with curriculum-based ideological and political education, employing problem-based learning to encourage self-directed study and leveraging an online-offline mixed approach to enhance teaching effectiveness. An innovative closed-loop assessment system incorporating formative evaluation has been established, integrating multidimensional feedback from exam analysis, student and faculty questionnaire surveys, and teaching supervision to continuously optimize curriculum development. The reform has significantly enhanced medical students' professional competencies and overall capabilities, providing an innovative paradigm for training high-level medical professionals in the new era.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ossotide combined with antibiotics on efficacy and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis.Methods:Using a prospective study, 66 patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis admitted to Jiangshan Beilin Hospital from May 2016 to May 2019 were selected as the study subjects, aged from 28 to 70 years old. The patients were randomly divided into the control group ( n = 33) and the observation group ( n = 33). The control group was treated with antibiotics alone, and the observation group was treated with ossotide injection on the basis of the treatment. Both groups were treated for 2 months. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups, the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, the Barthel index of activities of daily living, and the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) scores were compared between the two groups before treatment and 2 months after treatment. The higher the VAS score was, the more severe the pain was. The higher the Barthel index was, the stronger the activity of daily living was. The higher the FMA score was, the better the motor function was. At the same time, the serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β were compared between the two groups before treatment and 2 months after treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group (96.97%, 32/33) was significantly higher than that of the control group (78.79%, 26/33), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 5.12, P < 0.05). After 2 months of treatment, the VAS score [(3.12 ± 0.85) points] of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group [(4.08 ± 0.97) points, P < 0.05], Barthel index [(64.72 ± 6.98) points] and FMA score [(58.70 ± 5.58) points] were significantly higher than those of the control group [(56.65 ± 6.72), (51.43 ± 5.33) points, P < 0.05]. After 2 months of treatment, serum levels of TNF-α [(12.30 ± 2.35) ng/L], IFN-γ [(10.87 ± 2.26) ng/L] and IL-1β [(324.28 ± 127.60) ng/L] of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group [(14.35 ± 3.13), (15.76 ± 3.21), (390.29 ± 131.37) ng/L, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Ossotide combined with antibiotics can improve the therapeutic effect of brucellosis osteoarthritis and reduce the serum levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β.
