ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Dihuang Yinzi （DY） on motor dysfunction in rats with advanced Parkinson's disease （PD） and to investigate the mechanisms by which DY improves advanced PD symptoms through the "gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acids （SCFAs）-inflammation-neuroprotection pathway". MethodsAn advanced PD rat model was induced by rotenone. Rats were divided into a normal group， model group， positive drug group （levodopa， 50 mg·kg^-1）， and DY low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （5.2， 10.4， 20.8 g·kg^-1）. After 7 days of administration， motor function was evaluated using the open-field， pole-climbing， and inclined plate tests. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in the substantia nigra and colon， and immunohistochemistry was performed to detect α-Synuclein （α-Syn） and tyrosine hydroxylase （TH） expression in the substantia nigra. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure levels of dopamine （DA）， 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， 3，4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid （DOPAC）， Levodopa， homovanillic acid （HVA）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1） and occludin. Gut microbiota diversity was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing， and gas chromatography （GC） was used to determine the content of SCFAs in colonic contents. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly decreased movement speed and distance in the open-field test， prolonged pole-climbing time， and reduced retention angle on the inclined plate （P<0.01）， accompanied by increased α-Syn expression （P<0.01） and decreased TH expression （P<0.01） in the brain. Compared with the model group， all DY dose groups improved motor dysfunction in advanced PD rats to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01） and alleviated pathological damage in the brain and colon. High-dose DY significantly reduced α-Syn aggregation in the substantia nigra （P<0.01） and increased TH expression （P<0.01）. ELISA and Western blot results showed that， compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited decreased levels of DA， 5-HT， DOPAC， Levodopa， and HVA in the striatum （P<0.01）， increased levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β in the colon and striatum （P<0.01）， and significantly reduced expression of ZO-1 （P<0.05） and occludin in the colon （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all DY dose groups increased the levels of DA， 5-HT， DOPAC， Levodopa， and HVA in the striatum to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In the high-dose DY group， the levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β in the colon and striatum were reduced （P<0.01）， while the expression of ZO-1 （P<0.05） and occludin in the intestine was increased. The 16S rRNA sequencing results indicated that the relative abundances of Actinobacteriota， Enterobacteriaceae， and Erysipelotrichaceae were increased in the model group， whereas the relative abundances of Bacteroidota， class Clostridia， Lachnospiraceae， and Akkermansia muciniphila were decreased. These changes were effectively reversed after high-dose DY intervention. GC analysis showed that the content of SCFAs in the colonic contents of rats in the model group was decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while after high-dose DY intervention， the levels of acetate， propionate， isobutyrate， and butyrate were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionDY may exert therapeutic effects in advanced PD by regulating the gut microbiota-SCFAs-inflammation pathway.

Objective:To explore the implementation effectiveness of clinical faculty teaching qualification and admission assessment program based on Miller's competency model.Methods:Action research method was adopted in combination with quantitative and qualitative analysis. The assessment scores were analyzed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 clinical teachers who participated in the assessment. Interview data were analyzed and themes were extracted based on the three-level coding method of qualitative research. The statistical functions in Excel were used to analyze the scores of six teaching components such as written tests, lesson plans, and presentations. Categorical data were expressed as frequency and percentage.Results:A total of 93.07% (188/202) of teachers passed the assessment and obtained teaching qualification certificates for clinical teaching in all relevant components. Qualitative analysis identified three main themes. The first theme was that teaching qualification and admission assessment enhanced teachers' understanding of clinical teaching standards and teacher/teaching community. The second theme was that teaching qualification and admission assessment provided clinical teachers with scenario demonstration of independent learning, peer communication, and teaching feedback and reflection. The third theme was the need for further strengthening of pre-assessment training.Conclusions:Teaching qualification and admission assessment contributes to the in-depth understanding of clinical teaching standards among clinical faculty and promotes the construction of teaching communities, thereby laying a foundation for enhancing the teaching capabilities of clinical teachers.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of low fall alertness in elderly inpatients,construct a risk prediction model and validate it,providing a reference for clinical medical staff to identify elderly inpatients with low fall alertness in the early stage.Methods:A total of 605 elderly inpatients treated in Yijishan Hospital affiliated to Wannan Medical College from Oct 2023 to Mar 2024 were enrolled and randomly divided into the training group(n=423)and validation group(n=182)at a ratio of 7∶3.The patients were evaluated using a general information questionnaire,the Social Frailty Screening Tool(HALFT),the Tilburg Frailty Indicator(TFI),and the Self-Awareness of Falls in Elderly scale(SAFE).Multivariate logistic analysis was used to determine the influencing factors of low fall alertness in elderly inpatients.RStudio was used to construct a risk prediction model of low fall alertness.The discrimination,calibration,and clinical net benefit of the model were verified using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,calibration plots,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results:Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the history of falls,monthly income,previous physical activity time,social frailty score and TFI score were independent risk factors for low fall alertness in elderly inpatients.The Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 test showed that χ2=8.863,P=0.354,indicating good calibration of the prediction model.The area under the ROC curve of the training group and the validation group were 0.860(95%CI:0.815-0.904)and 0.937(95%CI:0.888-0.986),respectively,and the maximum Youden indices of the model was 0.576 and 0.788,respectively,indicating good discrimination of the model.The DCA decision curve showed that the model had good clinical effectiveness.Conclusion:The constructed model has a good prediction effect and can help clinical medical staff quickly and effectively screen out elderly inpatients at risk of low fall alertness.

Objective:To investigate the myopia progression in Chinese young medical college students and explore the associated risk factors.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.Among 1 068 freshmen aged 16 to 22 years receiving health checkups at a medical university in Tianjin, 979 myopes were ultimately included in the baseline assessment and 812 participated in the follow-up assessment after two years.The anterior segment examination with a slit lamp, non-cycloplegic autorefraction with an autorefractor and axial length (AL) measurements with Lenstar 900 were performed on participants at baseline and during the two-year follow-up.Myopia progression was defined as a spherical equivalent (SE) change of ≤-0.50 D/year or an AL increase of ≥0.20 mm/year.Multivariate regression analysis with the generalized estimating equation model was employed to identify risk factors associated with myopia progression.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2021KY-16).Informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:During the two-year follow-up, 92.5%(751/812) of the participants had stable SE and 96.1%(764/795) had stable AL.However, 7.5%(61/812) showed SE progression and 3.9%(31/795) exhibited AL growth, demonstrating a tendency of myopia progression.Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that females ( β=0.064, 95% CI: 0.002~0.126; P=0.042) and low to moderate myopia at baseline ( β=0.083, 95% CI: 0.005~0.161; P=0.037) were significantly associated with AL growth compared to high myopia at baseline. Conclusions:More than 92% of young college students have stable myopia.In addition to high myopia, there is still a need for better follow-up and management of females and those with low to moderate myopia to control the high prevalence of high myopia.

Objective:To investigate whether spectacle lens wear affects the exophthalmometry values (EVs) on myopia and explore the risk factors for EVs in myopia.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A total of 935 university freshmen (935 eyes) who received eye examinations were enrolled from September to December 2019.Anterior segments were examined by slit lamp microscopy.EVs were measured with a Hertel exophthalmometer.Non-cycloplegia auto-refraction, lensometer test, visual acuity test and subjective refraction were performed on all subjects.Ocular biometric parameters including axial length (AL) and average corneal radius (CR) were obtained by Lenstar 900.A 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed between the spectacle group and the non-spectacle group to compare the differences in EVs and visual acuity.Linear regression was used to analyze the effect of different factors on the EVs in all myopic students.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2021KY-16).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The mean EVs of students was (14.03±1.87)mm.There were significant differences in the distribution of myopia severity between the spectacle group and non-spectacle group before matching ( χ2=345.800, P<0.001), and after PSM, the baseline characteristics of the two groups were well balanced with good comparability.After PSM, there was no significant difference in EVs between the spectacle group and non-spectacle group ([13.93±1.87]mm vs.[13.66±1.85]mm; t=1.140, P=0.25), and the spectacle group had better visual acuity of 1.0(0.8, 1.0) than 0.4(0.2, 0.8) in non-spectacle group, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=-8.450, P<0.001).Multivariate linear regression showed that EVs increased by 0.06 mm for every 1 D increase in spherical equivalent towards myopia ( β=-0.06, 95% CI: -0.11--0.01, P=0.03), and EVs increased by 0.17 mm for every 1 mm increase in AL ( β=0.17, 95% CI: 0.06-0.28, P<0.01).Average CR did not influence EVs significantly ( β=0.07, 95% CI: -0.10-0.24, P=0.43). Conclusions:Wearing spectacles may not affect the EVs and not wearing spectacle may affect visual acuity in myopic patients.The higher the degree of myopia, the longer the AL, the higher the EVs may be.

Objective:To compare the changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL) between children with axial myopia and refractive myopia.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted.A total of 1 738 students from grades 1 to 6 were recruited from two consistent 9-year schools in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin using cluster random sampling.Visual acuity, refractive status, and ocular biological parameters were measured from February to May in 2018 and 2021.Participants were categorized into subgroups as follows: low, moderate, and high myopia based on SE; longer AL group and shorter AL groups based on AL; and steeper cornea and flatter cornea groups based on corneal curvature radius (CCR). Myopic children were further classified into the following groups: axial myopia (longer AL and flatter cornea), refractive myopia (shorter AL and steeper cornea), mixed myopia (longer AL and steeper cornea), and non-axial non-refractive myopia (shorter AL and flatter cornea). Changes in SE (ΔSE) and AL (ΔAL) at the end of the follow-up period were compared among the different classification groups.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2020KY-39). Written informed consent was obtained from the guardians of all participants.Results:The ΔSE in the longer AL group was (-1.57±1.52)D, which was significantly greater than (-1.17±1.47)D in the shorter AL group ( t=3.99, P<0.01). The ΔAL in the steeper cornea group was (0.92±0.50)mm, which was significantly greater than (0.86±0.54)mm in the flatter cornea group ( t=-2.12, P=0.04). Among children aged 10-12 years, males, and the low myopia, SE progression was faster in those with longer AL compared to shorter AL, with statistically significant differences ( t=2.66, 3.31, 3.90; all P<0.05). In children aged 10-12 years, AL growth was faster in the longer AL group than in the shorter AL group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-1.29, P=0.04). Among females and the low myopia, AL growth was faster in those with steeper corneas than in those with flatter corneas, with statistically significant differences ( t=-3.22, -2.43; both P<0.05). Refractive myopia had a smaller ΔSE than axial myopia and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Within the low myopia, SE progression was greater in axial myopia than in refractive myopia, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Among myopic children, those with longer axial lengths exhibit faster SE progression, while those with steeper corneas show faster axial elongation.Among children with low myopia, axial myopia is associated with a greater risk of SE progression than refractive myopia.

Objective To explore different construction models and experiences of clinical laboratory centers under exist-ing Integrated county healthservices entity,analyze and discuss the characteristics of various construction models,and provide ref-erences for the development of county-level clinical laboratory centers.Methods Based on the five factors of"man,machine,material,method,and environment"in Total Quality Management theory,an interview outline and questionnaire were designed for county-level clinical laboratory centers.Eleven county-level clinical laboratory centers across the country were investigated to analyze their construction models,investment returns,and other aspects.Literature reviews and case studies were also conducted to summarize the construction models and characteristics of county-level clinical laboratory centers.Results The construction models of county-level clinical laboratory centers are mainly divided into five types,each with distinct features.Through an analy-sis of the investment returns of these models unde rIntegrated county healthservices entity,it was found that a profit distribution ratio of approximately 5∶5 between county-level clinical laboratory centers and township health centers for referred samples is more conducive to maintaining the stability of sample sources.The construction model of county-level clinical laboratory centers is closely related to the medical service capacity of both county and township levels.Conclusion Counties with stronger county hospital capabilities tend to establish relatively independent regional laboratory centers based on the county hospital's laboratory department.Regardless of the model,the primary goal of county-level clinical laboratory centers should be to provide high-quality testing services coverage across the entire county.The key to the success of county-level clinical laboratory centers lies in motiva-ting grassroots personnel.
