To address the challenges of fragmented data, inconsistent standards, and delayed feedback in the full-cycle competency development process at teaching hospitals, this paper proposes the LEADS data governance system for Precision Medical Education (LEADS-PME), drawing on the practical experience of building the integrated medical education management platform at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. The LEADS-PME framework comprises five interconnected core components: Longitudinal foundation, Evidence-chain generation, Analytics and profiling, Decision-support and prediction, and Simulation and digital-twin governance. Currently, Zhongshan Hospital has established a full-cycle educational data infrastructure and achieved multi-system data integration and competency-based profiling and evaluation, while the prediction and simulation modules are still in the prototype exploration phase. A mixed-methods evaluation will be subsequently conducted from the perspectives of data quality, management effectiveness, and predictive intervention. As a locally adapted framework, LEADS-PME can transform operational data derived from clinical practice, teaching, assessment, and management processes into traceable, interpretable, and reusable evidence of competency development. It is expected to facilitate the transformation of medical education management from a outcome-oriented approach to process monitoring, evidence-driven decision-making, and precision governance, thereby providing both a theoretical framework and practical reference for precision medical education in Chinese teaching hospitals.

Objective:
To investigate the antibody testing demand and its influencing factors among college students in Shaoxing City Zheijiang Province, so as to provide evidence for carrying out HIV antibody testing services for college students.
Methods:
From November to December 2022, stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey college students from 13 colleges in Shaoxing City. Data on socio-demographic information, demand for HIV antibody testing, sexual behaviors, and HIV-related knowledge were collected through a self - designed questionnaire. Factors affecting HIV antibody demand among college students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 43 716 college students were surveyed, including 19 471 males (44.54%) and 24 245 females (55.46%). There were 2 004 college students (4.58%) with HIV antibody testing demand. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female students (OR=1.344, 95%CI: 1.217-1.485), those in undergraduate institutions (OR=1.296, 95%CI: 1.168-1.438), homosexuals (OR=1.742, 95%CI: 1.301-2.333) or bisexual/uncertain (OR=1.342, 95%CI: 1.171-1.537), those who had sexual experience (OR=1.416, 95%CI: 1.210-1.657), those who had sex with men in the past 6 months (OR=2.164, 95%CI: 1.405-3.333), those who received HIV testing promotion at school in the past year (OR=1.500, 95%CI: 1.327-1.695), and those with perceived risk of HIV infection (OR=5.875, 95%CI: 5.336-6.468) had greater HIV antibody testing demand.
Conclusions
The HIV testing demand among college students is associated with gender, school type, sexual orientation, sexual behaviors, HIV testing promotion, and perceived risk of HIV infection. It is recommended to strengthen HIV knowledge dissemination of AIDS knowledge and mobilization for HIV antibody testing in colleges to improve the accessibility of HIV antibody testing services.

This article presents a case study of a patient who visited the Geriatric Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to "palpitations, shortness of breath for more than 2 years, limb weakness for 6 months, edema, and nocturnal dyspnea for 2 months". The patient exhibited decreased muscle strength in the limbs and involvement of swallowing and respiratory muscles, alongside complications of heart failure and various arrhythmias which were predominantly atrial. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of multiple autoantibodies and notably anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anti-mitochondrial antibody-associated inflammatory myopathy. Treatment involved a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, along with resistance exercises for muscle strength and rehabilitation training for lung function, resulting in significant improvement of clinical symptoms. The case underscores the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary approaches in diagnosing and treating rare diseases in elderly patients, where careful consideration of clinical manifestations and subtle abnormal clinical data can lead to effective interventions.

BACKGROUND:Intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease is one of the most aggressive complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with high lethality.How to improve intestinal inflammation and regulate autophagy by applying traditional Chinese medicine in order to treat intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease is a worthwhile research issue nowadays. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of Huangqintang modulating intestinal flora for the treatment of intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease. METHODS:CB6F1 mice were irradiated with 60Co X radiation at a total dose of 8 Gy,and then single nucleated cell suspensions(bone marrow cells+splenocytes)from Balb/c H-2d mice were injected into the tail vein in order to prepare a model of intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease.These samples were randomly divided into the model group and the high-,moderate-,and low-dose Huangqintang groups.After modeling,the model,high-,moderate-,and low-dose groups received different doses of Huangqintang or an equal volume of saline by continuous gavage for 14 days.Clinical acute graft-versus-host disease grading,and survival time was recorded.Small intestinal tissues from each group were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for small intestinal mucosal pathology scoring.The intestinal flora of mice in each group was detected using 16S rDNA sequencing.Autophagy-related markers were detected using immunofluorescence,immunohistochemistry,and PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the model group,the survival time of mice was significantly prolonged(P<0.01);the clinical acute graft-versus-host disease scores were significantly reduced(P<0.01);the pathological grading scores of the small intestinal mucosa were significantly diminished(P<0.01);the levels of the small intestinal tissue inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin-1β,and interleukin-6,were significantly decreased(P<0.01);the structural integrity of the small intestinal mucosal epithelium was partially restored in mice after the intervention of moderate and high-dose Huangqintang.(2)The study of intestinal flora found that compared with the model group,the pro-inflammatory strain Enterococcus was significantly reduced(P<0.05),while beneficial bacteria such as Clostridium_innocuum and Rhodococcus,a pro-autophagy bacterium,were significantly elevated(P<0.05)in the moderate-dose Huangqintang group.(3)Compared with the model group,the autophagy markers were significantly elevated in the moderate-dose Huangqintang group(P<0.05);under transmission electron microscopy,the number of autophagic vacuoles of moderate-dose Huangqintang group increased significantly.(4)The results showed that Huangqintang significantly reduced the abundance of conditionally pathogenic bacteria and the level of inflammatory factors in small intestinal tissues,and increased the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and promoted the expression of autophagy in the small intestinal mucosa,which resulted in a significant improvement of intestinal symptoms in mice with acute graft-versus-host disease.

Objective To explore the clinical information of female patients with pulmonary nodules and the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and their elements. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the basic information, medical history data, image data, and four diagnostic information of female patients with pulmonary nodules. The distribution characteristics of TCM syndromes and their elements in female patients with pulmonary nodules were determined by KMO test, Bartlett spherical test, systematic cluster analysis, chi-square test, and other methods. Results A total of 721 female patients with pulmonary nodules were included in this study. The patients were mainly 45-59 years old, had secondary school education or above, and had a history of oil smoke exposure as clinical characteristics. The pulmonary nodules were mainly 6-10 mm in size and appeared as multiple and ground glass nodules. The clinical symptoms were mainly fatigue, emotional irritability, and shortness of breath. The main syndromes of disease location were the spleen, liver, and lung; and the main syndromes of disease were phlegm, dampness, and qi deficiency. The main complex syndromes were spleen deficiency and dampness, liver stagnation, and qi/yin deficiency. Conclusion Middle age, high education, and multiple small ground glass nodules are the clinical characteristics of female patients with pulmonary nodules. Exposure to oil smoke is an important cause of the occurrence of female pulmonary nodules. During treatment, attention should be paid to strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, soothing the liver, regulating and tonifying qi, and nourishing yin.
