To explore the method of constructing the first-class undergraduate course of Treatise on Febrile Diseases. The undergraduates majoring in traditional Chinese medicine were selected as the teaching subjects. Three combinations (combination of theory and clinics, combination of science and education, and combination of ideological/political education and professional education) were adopted as the starting point. A variety of teaching methods were used. The combination of in-class and after-class and the combination of theory and clinics were implemented. Course construction was carried out from the aspects of course objectives, course resource construction, course content, organization and implementation, and course evaluation methods. Emphasis was placed on the process evaluation and formative evaluation. Questionnaire survey and final examination were used to evaluate the teaching effect. The results showed that a total of 10 first and second prizes were awarded in the provincial and municipal innovation competitions related to the theory of cold disease in the past three years. During the same time, more than 70 medical records were collected and collated, 82 research papers and 155 learning experiences were documented, five communities were visited along with the affiliated hospital and the school hospital for providing healthcare services in rural areas, and more than 20 traditional Chinese diagnosis and treatment activities were performed in these communities. The average score of students in overall course evaluation was 87. More than 94.00% (141/150) students highly evaluated the course construction. They believed that the course construction was very helpful to the theoretical study and clinical application of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and improved their levels and abilities in classic reading, medical case evaluation and analysis, and syndrome differentiation and treatment. Students' recognition of this course has been improved and phased results have been achieved.

Objective:To explore the potential correlation between cumulative pulse pressure (cumPP) level and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and to provide insights for MetS management.Methods:A total of 3 968 subjects who underwent health checkup were selected to form a research cohort, and the data were categorized into three groups based on the tertiles of cumPP levels. Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to analyze the association between different cumPP levels and the incidence of new-onset MetS. Results:The risk of MetS increased with the increased tiers of the cumPP levels (2.5%, 4.3%, and 4.6%, Ptrend<0.001) during the median follow-up period of 2.16 years. Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that cumPP was positively correlated with waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose (all P<0.05). The Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted model showed that the risk of MetS in Q2 and Q3 was higher than that in Q1 in the total population, and the same results were observed in males (all P<0.05), while there was no statistical significance in females. Model 3 of the total population adjusted for a variety of confounding factors displayed a higher risk of MetS in Q3 compared with that in Q1[1.654 (95% CI 1.272-2.151) ]. When stratified by sex, and the risk of MetS in Q3 was 1.665 times higher than that in Q1 (95% CI 1.245-2.227), while there was no statistically significant risk in female. According to the visual nomogram of independent risk factors screened by multivariate analysis based on Cox proportional hazards regression model, the incidence of MetS at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years was 0.18%, 3.97% and 7.39%, respectively. In addition, the dose-response curve was plotted according to cumPP, suggesting that the risk of MetS gradually increased with the increase of cumPP in the total population. Subgroup analyses based on baseline systolic blood pressure levels showed that higher cumPP levels were associated with a higher risk of developing MetS, regardless of whether systolic blood pressure was abnormal. Conclusions:Elevated cumPP levels is significantly related to the incidence of new-onset MetS. Maintaining pulse pressure within an appropriate range over long term is crucial for the management of MetS.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the determination of propofol concentration in human plasma and apply it in patients with lymphedema. METHODS The concentration of propofol was determined by UPLC-MS/MS after protein precipitation of plasma samples using thymol as internal standard. The sample was eluted on a Kinetex C18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (A)-water (B) for gradient elution at the flow rate of 200 μL/min. The sample size was 5 μL, and the column temperature was set at 40 ℃. The sample chamber temperature was 15 ℃. Using multi-reaction monitoring mode, the ion pairs for quantitative analysis were m/z 177.0→161.2 (propofol) and m/z 149.0→133.1 (internal standard), respectively. The above method was used to determine the plasma concentration of propofol in 6 patients with lymphedema. RESULTS The linear range of propofol was 50-5 000 ng/mL (r=0.995 0). RSDs of within- and between-batch precision were not more than 8.08%; no endogenous interference, carryover effect, or dilution effect was observed in blank plasma. The extraction recovery ranged from 89.80% to 93.73%, and matrix effects were within the range of 97.93%-101.73%. RSDs of the stability test were all lower than 3.27%. During intraoperative TCI 2-30 min, the plasma concentration of propofol in 6 patients was maintained in the range of 1 865.3-6 056.2 ng/mL, and the propofol was almost excreted within 4-8 h after operation. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC-MS/MS method in this study can achieve the determination of propofol and a simple and fast sample pretreatment process without derivatization; it is proved to be suitable for the concentration monitoring of propofol in plasma samples of patients with lymphedema.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of 3D computed tomography bronchial bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) and guidance of thoracoscopic anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy by Mimics software system. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2020 to December 2022. The patients who underwent preoperative 3D-CTBA using Materiaise's interactive medical image control system (Mimics) were selected as an observation group, and the patients who did not receive 3D-CTBA were selected as a control group. The relevant clinical indicators were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 59 patients were included, including 29 males and 30 females, aged 25-79 years. There were 37 patients in the observation group, and 22 patients in the control group. The operation time (163.0±48.7 min vs. 188.8±43.0 min, P=0.044), intraoperative blood loss [10.0 (10.0, 20.0) mL vs. 20.0 (20.0, 35.0) mL, P<0.001], and preoperative puncture localization rate (5.4% vs. 31.8%, P=0.019) in the observation group were better than those in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the thoracic tube placement time, thoracic fluid drainage volume, number of intraoperative closure nail bin, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative air leakage incidence (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion For patients who need to undergo anatomical pulmonary segmentectomy, using Mimics software to produce 3D-CTBA before surgery can help accurately identify pulmonary arteriovenous anatomy, reduce surgical time and intraoperative blood loss, help to determine the location of nodules and reduce invasive localization before surgery, and alleviate patients' pain, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
