Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2025;24(11):1454-1459
Objective:To explore the application effect of the Seminar immersion method combined with the problem-oriented three-part method in the cultivation of student post competencies such as academic performance, learning enthusiasm, thinking ability, and application of clinical problems in pathophysiology.Methods:A total of 90 students from the Natural Science Teaching Class of the School of Medicine, Sun Yat-sen University (Large Class One and Large Class Two of the students enrolled in 2022 majoring in clinical medicine) were selected as the research subjects. Before the start of the study, a comparative analysis was conducted on the baseline data such as sex, age, and admission scores of the two classes, and it was confirmed that there were no significant differences. Subsequently, the random coin-tossing method was adopted to select Large Class One ( n=45) as the experimental group, and the problem-oriented three-part method combined with the Seminar immersion method was used. Large Class Two (n=45) was used as the control group, and the traditional teaching method was adopted. The teaching content was hepatic dysfunction. The teaching effect was evaluated based on the theoretical assessment results of the before-class, during-class, and after-class exercises and the scenario analysis questions in the after-class exercises, as well as a teaching satisfaction survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Measurement data were expressed as the M ( Q1, Q3), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups. The counting data were analyzed by chi-square test. Results:The in-class and after-class scores of the experimental group were 40.00(20.00,40.00) and 70.00(60.00,70.00) points respectively, which were higher than those of the control group, which were 20.00(20.00,40.00) and 60.00(50.00,70.00) points. The scores of the three scenario analysis questions in the experimental group were 10.00(10.00,10.00),10.00 (10.00,10.00), and 10.00(10.00,10.00) points respectively, and the rank averages were 50.00, 51.00, and 53.50 points respectively. All were higher than the average rank values of the control group, which were 41.00, 40.00, and 37.50 points respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Furthermore, The satisfaction of students in the experimental group with the new model in terms of enhancing learning interest by 5.00(5.00,5.00) points, solving clinical problems by 5.00(5.00,5.00) points, and cultivating clinical thinking by 5.00(5.00,5.00) points was higher than that of the control group by 4.00(4.00,5.00), 4.00(3.00,5.00), and 4 .00(3.00,5.00) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The Seminar immersion method combined with the problem-oriented three-part method is helpful to improve the course grades of medical undergraduates and is effective in the cultivation of multiple post competencies. It is worthy of further application and promotion.

Objective:To prepare a peptide fluorescent probe based on aggregation-induced emission and to investigate its application in the detection of early caries.Methods:Eight aspartate-serine-serine (DSS) were combined with aggregation-induced emission material to prepare peptide fluorescent probes, and an artificial demineralization model was established in vitro. The samples were immersed in the peptide fluorescent probe solution for 1 min, and a fluorescence imaging system was applied to examine the tooth samples and collect images and fluorescence data. Scanning electron microscopy was also applied to observe the phenotype of the teeth, and electron microscopy was applied to detect the calcium-phosphorus ratio on the enamel surface of the teeth. Polarized light microscopy was also applied to observe the enamel area of the teeth. Results:The fluorescence intensity of demineralized teeth was clearly observed to be lower than that of normal teeth in the peptide fluorescent probe-treated area, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the enamel surface of the demineralized group had more irregular pores, while the enamel surface of the undemineralized group was flatter with only some irregular accumulation of flakes. The results of polarized light microscopy showed that a clear birefringence could be observed in the enamel region of normal teeth, while a black area or the disappearance of the birefringence effect accompanied by a partial black dark shadow could be observed in the enamel region of demineralized teeth. Conclusions:An aggregation-induced luminescence-based peptide fluorescent probe was successfully prepared, which can precisely localize the enamel and show some application value in early caries detection.

This study was performed to explore the differential genes and functions of double-negative T cells in peripheral blood of patients with colorectal cancer.Two colorectal cancer patients and two healthy physical examiners were selected,and peripheral blood double-negative T cells were firstly sorted by flow cytometry,and then sequencing data were obtained using single cell full-length transcriptome(SMART-seq2)sequencing technology to screen differentially expressed genes.The screened differentially expressed genes were subjected to Gene Ontology Enrichment(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis.The STRING database was used to construct the protein interaction network and identify key genes by Cytoscape software;RT-qPCR was used to verify the differential expression genes in DNT cells.Compared with healthy subjects,there were 1 276 peripheral blood double-negative T-cell differential genes in colorectal cancer patients,including 141 up-regulated genes and 1 135 down-regulated genes.GO analysis showed that the differential genes were mainly involved in biological functions such as methylation,metabolic processes and transferase activity;KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differential genes were mainly involved in signaling pathways such as autophagy,P53 signaling pathway and phosphatidylinositol metabolism.The protein interaction network contains 1 154 nodes and 1 022 edges,in addition,10 hub genes were identified:PIK3C3,WIPI1,ATG101,PIK3R4,DDX10,RBM28,SDAD1,ATG16L1,UVRAG,ATG7.RT-qPCR validated 10 differentially expressed genes,of which 7 differentially expressed genes showed trends consistent with sequencing results,and 3 genes showed expression inconsistent with sequencing results.DNT cells may be involved in the development of colorectal cancer through methylation,P53 signaling pathway and autophagy,and at the same time,DNT cells may inhibit the development of colorectal cancer through the regulation of genes.This study provides a theoretical basis for further investigation of the function of DNT cells in malignant tumors.
