The traditional teaching model centered on courses has disadvantages such as interdisciplinary barriers, repetitive learning of content, and students being unable to enter clinical practice early. The Human Body Overview I is a core course at the basic stage under the integrated curriculum system centered on "organ-systems" at Chongqing Medical University. The course deeply integrates interdisciplinary resources and reconstructs the contents of systematic anatomy, embryology, and physiology under the traditional teaching model. The "Three in One" curriculum ideology and politics are implemented to assist students in their comprehensive development. By strengthening the cultivation of clinical application abilities and empowering with virtual simulation technology, the teaching effectiveness and quality have been improved. The teaching practice of the Human Body Overview I suggests that the teaching reform of integrated curriculum at the basic stage has broken interdisciplinary barriers, avoided repetitive learning of contents, and promoted the cultivation of students' interdisciplinary integration ability and clinical application ability. It can provide a reference for the teaching reform of integrated curriculum for other colleges.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Guanxinning Tablets as an adjunctive treatment for coronary heart disease complicated by insomnia in older adult patients. Methods:A total of 80 patients with coronary heart disease complicated by insomnia, admitted to The Second People's Hospital of Lishui between December 2021 and December 2023, were selected for this study. A randomized, controlled trial design was used, with patients randomly assigned to either the control group or the observation group ( n = 40/group). The control group received conventional treatment along with basic sleep-promoting interventions, while the observation group received Guanxinning Tablets in addition to the treatment provided to the control group. The treatment duration for both groups was 8 weeks. The therapeutic effects, frequency and duration of angina attacks, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, Seattle Angina Questionnaire score, serum levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor, and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:The clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group ( Z = 2.07, P < 0.05). After treatment, the frequency and duration of angina attacks in the observation group were (1.02 ± 0.31) times/d and (1.35 ± 0.27) min, both of which were significantly lower and shorter than those in the control group [(1.54 ± 0.40) times/d, (1.71 ± 0.36) min, t = -6.50, -5.06, both P < 0.05]. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score in the observation group was (5.93 ± 1.28), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(7.33 ± 2.05), t = -3.66, P < 0.05]. The Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores for all dimensions in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( t = 2.81, 2.30, 2.97, 4.76, 4.24, all P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the observation group were (13.48 ± 3.60) mg/L and (15.53 ± 3.83) μg/L, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(16.26 ± 4.51) mg/L, (20.38 ± 3.92) μg/L, t = -3.05, -5.60, both P < 0.05]. The vascular endothelial growth factor level in the observation group was (128.26 ± 16.67) ng/L, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(105.78 ± 14.35) ng/L, t = 6.46, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Guanxinning Tablets, as an adjunctive treatment for coronary heart disease complicated by insomnia, can significantly improve outcomes in older adults by alleviating angina symptoms, enhancing sleep quality, and reducing inflammatory responses, without increasing the incidence of drug-related adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition status of residents and its changing trend in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province during the 10 years implementation of a new salt iodine standard, evaluate the prevention and treatment effects, and provide a basis for implementing iodine supplementation measures scientifically.Methods:From 2013 to 2015, each county (district) in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province was divided into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and central regions. One town (street, referred to as the town) was selected from each district, and four administrative villages were selected from each town. Fifteen residents from each administrative village were selected to collect edible salt samples from their homes and test the iodine content of the salt. At the same time, one primary school was selected from each selected town, and 42 children (age and gender were balanced) aged 8 - 10 were selected from each primary school for thyroid palpation examination. From 2016 to 2022, each county (district) was divided into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and central regions. One town was selected from each district, and one primary school was selected from each town. Forty-two non boarding students aged 8 - 10 were selected from each primary school to undergo thyroid palpation examination, and edible salt samples were collected from their home to detect salt iodine content. At the same time, 4 administrative villages were selected from each town, and 10 households were selected from each administrative village to collect edible salt samples and test the salt iodine content; 21 pregnant women were selected from each of the 5 towns in each county (district) to collect edible salt samples and test the salt iodine content. From 2013 to 2022, synchronous collection of urine samples from children and pregnant women (early, middle, and late pregnancy were balanced) was conducted to detect urine iodine content. Direct titration method was adopted for determination of salt iodine content, and arbitration method was adopted for Sichuan salt and other fortified edible salt (GB/T 13025.7-1999). Thyroid examination was performed according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Goiter (WS 276-2007). Urine iodine was detected by Arsenic Cerium Catalytic Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Iodine in Urine (WS/T 107 - 2006).Results:From 2013 to 2022, a total of 37 609 household edible salt samples were collected. The coverage rate of iodized salt, the qualified rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt for each year ranged from 98.00% to 100.00%, 94.16% to 99.55%, and 92.28% to 99.67%, respectively. The median range of salt iodine was 22.42 to 26.80 mg/kg. A total of 25 437 children aged 8 - 10 were examined, and the annual incidence of thyroid enlargement (goiter) ranged from 0.35% to 3.02%. A total of 33 270 urine samples were collected, including 21 698 from children and 11 572 from pregnant women. The median range of urine iodine for children in each year was 203.70 - 275.47 μg/L, median range of urine iodine in pregnant women was 167.65 - 218.57 μg/L. The median urine iodine in children showed a decreasing trend from 2013 to 2022 ( Z = 3.04, P = 0.002); the median urine iodine of pregnant women did not show a significant decrease ( Z = 1.61, P = 0.110). Conclusions:During the 10 years implementation of the new salt iodine standard in Shaanxi Province, all indicators of iodine deficiency disorders monitoring in Baoji City have met the standards and maintained the elimination status of iodine deficiency disorders. The urine iodine levels of children have shown a downward trend, while urine iodine levels of pregnant women do not show significant changes. It is recommended that Baoji City expand the scope of iodine nutrition monitoring for key populations, and effectively carry out iodine supplementation measures scientificlly guided by monitoring information, tailored to local conditions, and classified guidance.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.

ObjectiveTo assess the effects of countermeasures against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Shanghai from March to May 2022 in comparison with epidemiological trend of COVID-19 in New York City. MethodsDaily confirmed cases, asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers, and daily deaths were obtained in the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States. Descriptive study was conducted by using these data. ResultsFrom March 1 to May 17, the number of daily asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in Shanghai was up to 58 times as large as that of daily confirmed cases; however, the number of daily confirmed cases in Shanghai was generally less than that in New York in the same time period. At the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the growth of daily attack rate in Shanghai was significantly lower than that in New York (P<0.05). Moreover, the number of daily death was evidently less than that in New York. In addition, the vaccination rate in the elderly (aged ≥60 years) in Shanghai was evidently lower than that in New York (aged ≥65 years). ConclusionThe COVID-19 epidemics in Shanghai from March to May 2022 and in New York after December 2021 were both caused by the Omicron variant. Compared with the Delta variant, the Omicron variant has stronger replication ability and infectivity, resulting in challenges to the containment of the epidemic in metropolis such as Shanghai and New York City. The epidemic in New York City remained crucial due to absence of effective countermeasures, while that in Shanghai has been effectively contained with strict countermeasures. The prevention and control strategies may be adjusted along with the continual evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and increasing trend of imported COVID-19 cases.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of lung function in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) to provide evidence for multidisciplinary management of SMA.Methods:A total of 30 patients with SMA treated in the SMA multidisciplinary clinic of the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2019 to March 2021 were enrolled, including 1 child with type I, 18 patients with type Ⅱ and 11 children with type Ⅲ.There were 17 males and 13 females; the age ranged from 4 years to 21 years and 10 months old.A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical features, spinal imaging findings and lung functions of patients with different clinical types of SMA and explore the factors influencing the lung functions of patients with SMA.Pulmonary function was measured by forced expiratory flow-volume curve.Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), FEV 1/FVC and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured.The results were expressed as the percentage of the measured value to predicted value.The Cobb angle was measured to evaluate scoliosis. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between lung function and age and Cobb angle in patients with type Ⅱ SMA. Pearson correlation analysis and univariate linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between Cobb angle and age in patients with type Ⅱ SMA. Results:Pulmonary function in 1 type I patient showed decreased FVC and FEV 1; Among 18 patients with type Ⅱ, 14 cases had abnormal lung function (77.8%): FVC decreased in 12 patients (66.7%), FEV 1 decreased in 10 patients (55.6%), PEF decreased in 12 patients (66.7%). Among 11 patients with type Ⅲ, one had decreased FVC (9.1%). FVC, FEV 1 and PEF of patients with type Ⅱ were significantly lower than those of patients with type Ⅲ [(62.4±31.8)% vs.(90.8±11.0)%, (66.3±33.3)% vs.(97.8±9.9)%, (65.3±30.1)% vs.(98.6±21.1)%, all P<0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that FVC of patients with type Ⅱ SMA was correlated with age and Cobb angle ( r=-0.864, -0.865, all P<0.001), FEV 1 was correlated with age and Cobb angle ( r=-0.878, -0.863, all P<0.001), PEF was correlated with age and Cobb angle ( r=-0.831, -0.783, all P<0.001), and Cobb angle was related to age ( r=0.922, P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that FVC of patients with type Ⅱ SMA was linearly correlated with Cobb angle ( R2=0.748, P<0.001), FEV 1 was linearly correlated with age ( R2=0.770, P<0.001), PEF was linearly related to age ( R2=0.690, P<0.001). Univariate linear regression analysis revealed that Cobb angle of patients with type Ⅱ SMA was linearly related to age ( R2=0.851, P<0.001). Conclusions:FVC, FEV 1 and PEF may decrease in patients with SMA.The degree of lung function damage is different in different types of SMA patients.With the increase of age, Cobb angle increases and FVC, FEV 1 and PEF decrease in patients with type Ⅱ SMA.Understanding the factors influencing the pulmonary function damage in patients with SMA is conductive to carrying out individual multidisciplinary management.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of adult-onset non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) in different genders.Methods:A total of 662 patients with adult-onset nr-axSpA (age at disease onset ≥16 years) who visited the Rheumatology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from 1999 to 2020 were included in the study. Comparisons of baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between different genders were performed.Results:Overall, the male-to-female ratio was 1.17∶1, and the prevalence of human leukocyte antigen-B27 (HLA-B27) positivity was 71.8%(475/662). The median baseline disease duration and age at diagnosis was 1.6 (0.5, 4.0) years and 25.0 (21.0, 33.0) years respectively. The males had a significantly earlier age at disease onset and diagnosis [21.0 (18.0, 28.0) vs 25.0 (21.0, 30.0), Z=5.63, P<0.001; 24.0 (19.0, 32.0) vs 27.0 (23.0, 34.5), Z=4.90, P<0.001, respectively] than females. HLA-B27 positivity was more frequent in males than in females [78.4% (280/357) vs 63.9%(195/305), χ2=17.06, P<0.001]. The prevalence of inflammatory back pain (IBP), morning stiffness, nocturnal pain, enthesitis, hip and groin pain were higher in males, whereas females showed a higher prevalence of small joint involvement of the hands. At baseline, males had higher median ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS)-C-reaction protein (CRP) [3.0(2.3, 3.8) vs 2.4(2.0, 3.0), Z=5.59, P<0.001] and a greater prevalence of high disease activity ASDAS-CRP>2.1 [81.9%(185/227) vs 67.9%(133/195), χ2=11.08, P=0.001] than females. The proportions of male patients with elevated CRP levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also higher than those of female patients [49.0%(175/357) vs 27.9%(85/305), χ2=30.85, P<0.001; 49.3%(176/357) vs 33.4%(102/305), χ2=16.98, P<0.001, respectively]. Conclusion:The adult-onset nr-axSpA in China is characterized by a comparable sex ratio. Males have an earlier age at disease onset and are higher HLA-B27 positivity with higher prevalence of IBP, enthesitis, hip and groin pain, as well as high disease activity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of moxifloxacin combined with biapenem on controlling inflammatory responses and improving immune function in older adult patients with severe pneumonia.Methods:120 older adult patients with severe pneumonia, who received treatment in the Second People's Hospital of Lishui from February 2017 to March 2020, were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either biapenem (control group, n = 55) or moxifloxacin combined with biapenem (observation group, n = 65) for 7 days. Inflammatory response control, immune function improvement, and adverse reactions were assessed in each group after treatment. Results:After treatment, levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were (24.51 ± 4.24) ng/L, (12.51 ± 3.15) mg/L and (4.62 ± 1.05) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(48.74 ± 4.67) ng/L, (26.80 ± 4.24) mg/L, (8.92 ± 1.10) μg/L, t = 29.77, 21.14, 21.87, all P < 0.001). The proportion of CD 3+ and CD 4+ cells and CD 4+ / CD 8+ ratio in the observation group were (63.27 ± 3.72)%, (39.97 ± 2.18)%, 1.79 ± 0.16, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(55.58 ± 2.28)%, (35.18 ± 2.62)%, 1.41 ± 0.15, t = 17.08, 10.93, 13.34, all P < 0.001). Total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [96.92% (63/65) vs. 83.64% (46/55), χ2 = 6.32, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between observation and control groups [10.77% (7/65) vs. 9.09% (5/55), χ2 = 0.09, P > 0.05]. Conclusion:Moxifloxacin combined with biapenem based on routine treatment for severe pneumonia in older adult patients can greatly strengthen anti-inflammatory effects, improve immune function, and enhance clinical efficacy without increasing adverse drug reactions.
