Objective:To explore medical students'cognition,current status,and demands regarding practical skills training in a medical college under the background of new medical science.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among medical undergraduates from Year 1 to Year 5 in a medical college.A self-designed scale was used to investigate the cognition,current status,and demands related to new medical education concepts.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between satisfaction with practical teaching facilities and variables including understanding of new medical education,curriculum design,and proportion of practical teaching.Multiple linear regression was conducted to investigate the factors influencing satisfaction.Results:Among 1 253 participants,70.71%acquired new medical science information through online media,while 52.99%learned about it via school courses.Over 80%endorsed"whole-cycle health management"(preventive care before disease onset 91.94%,disease treatment 81.72%,and post-illness rehabilitation 82.60%).Experimental courses(85.16%),clinical skills training(66.88%),and social practice(66.24%)were primary practical forms,but the participation rates of research practice(40.78%)and innovation/entrepreneurship practice(34.72%)was comparatively lower.The satisfaction with practical teaching was positively correlated with adequacy of faculty guidance(r=0.707)and curriculum rationality(r=0.522)(P＜0.01).The multiple linear regression analysis showed that faculty guidance(β=0.436)and the proportion of practical teaching(β=0.319)were the key predictors of satisfaction.Conclusion:Medical students'cognition of practical skills training,curriculum optimization,and adequacy of faculty guidance significantly influence satisfaction with practical teaching,with faculty guidance and rationality of practical process playing key roles.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH), providing reference and basis for reducing the occurrence of kinesiophobia in this patient population.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2023 to January 2024. A convenience sample of chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH in Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital was selected as the study population. Data were collected by the general information questionnaire, Numerical Rating Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale, and Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale. A random forest model was constructed to rank variable importance, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of kinesiophobia.Results:The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 96.8% (270/279). Among 270 patients, there were 139 males and 131 females, 92 patients aged 18-40 years, 132 patients aged 41-60 years, and 46 patients aged >60 years old. The total kinesiophobia score for chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH was (31.00 ± 5.09) points, with a kinesiophobia prevalence of 79.6% (215/270). The random forest algorithm identified eight influencing factors: pain self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, physical exercise after low back pain onset, duration of pain, pain status, understanding of LDH, marital status, and pain intensity. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that physical exercise after low back pain onset ( OR=0.583, 95% CI 0.344-0.986), pain status ( OR=0.424, 95% CI 0.206-0.873), psychological flexibility ( OR=1.102, 95% CI 1.052-1.155), pain self-efficacy ( OR=0.923, 95% CI 0.895-0.953) were significant influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of kinesiophobia is high among chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH. Physical exercise after low back pain onset, pain status, psychological flexibility, and pain self-efficacy are significant influencing factors. Healthcare professionals should pay increased attention to kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH and implement targeted early interventions to reduce its occurrence.

OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the functional system and construction requirements for infection prevention and control('infection control system'in short)in medical institutions so as to facilitate the effective,standardized and practical construction of the infection control system.METHODS The questionnaires were de-signed based on the relevant criteria and literatures that were released in China with the combination of expect con-sultant and were distributed to experts or professionals involving multiple fields such as hospital infection manage-ment,clinical medical treatment and information technology.The questionnaires were recycled,summarized and analyzed.RESULTS The list of functions of the infection control system(consultative draft)was formulated after review of literatures and expert consultation,including fundamental functions such as data management,case sur-veillance and intervention feedback as well as the advanced functions like target surveillance,occupational protec-tion and interconnection.The surveyed subjects agreed unanimously after the questionnaire survey that all of the function modules and elements enlisted were important,the average score of importance was more than 4 points,the score of coefficient of variable(CV)for importance of the function modules was less than 0.25,indicating that there was high consistency in the opinions among the surveyed subjects.The element of tracing and epidemiologi-cal survey function was adopted and added according to the feedback suggestions from some of the subjects;two function elements including data query and clinical interaction were revised,and the list of function requirements for the infection control systems was finally defined.CONCLUSION The requirements for functions of the infection control system that are determined in the study can provide important bases and data support for the research and standardized development of future infection control system.

Objective To investigate the mediating effect of psychological flexibility on the relationship between pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH),so as to provide references for relief from kinesiophobia of the patients.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 256 patients with LDH as the research subjects from the Outpatient Department of Spinal Orthopaedics of a Grade IIIA hospital in Guangdong Province between May and December 2023.The subjects were surveyed with a general information questionnaire,the kinesiophobia assessment scale,psychological flexibility inventory for pain patients,and chronic pain self-efficacy scale.The mediation effect of psychological flexibility on pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia was analysed using SPSS 26.0 and the PROCESS 3.5 macro.Results The scores for kinesiophobia,psychological flexibility and pain self-efficacy among the LDH patients were 31.66±4.73,55.26±11.06 and 68.14±17.48,respectively.Kinesiophobia was positively correlated with the psychological flexibility(r=0.545,P<0.001)and negatively correlated with the pain self-efficacy(r=-0.599,P<0.001).The psychological flexibility was negatively correlated with the pain self-efficacy(r=-0.510,P<0.001).Psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between pain self-efficacy and kinesiophobia,with a mediating effect of-0.045,accounting for 27.78%of the total effect.Conclusion The patients who have LDH and under conservative treatment exhibit a high level of kinesiophobia and with a moderate levels of pain self-efficacy and psychological flexibility.The medical staff can improve the self-efficacy and psychological flexibility of patients,so as to reduce kinesiophobia level and its incidence.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (AB-BNCT) in the treatment of recurrent and refractory malignant tumors.Methods:The data of 14 patients admitted to Xiamen Humanity Hospital from September 2022 to April 2023 were prospectively collected, including 7 patients with primary brain malignancies and 7 patients with locally recurrent inoperable head and neck malignancies. All patients received intravenous infusion of boron drug (NBB-001, p-dihydroxyborylphe nylalanine, a patented freeze-dried formulation) at a total nominal dosage of 500 mg/kg (11 patients) or 750 mg/kg (3 patients), and were irradiated with neutrons (operating with NeuPex system). Adverse events after treatment were recorded and assessed. The primary efficacy endpoint was the 90 d objective response rate (ORR), while the secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and complete response rate (CRR). Data were compiled and analyzed by SAS 9.4 software. The rate and 95% CI were calculated using Clopper-Pearson method. Results:The median dose delivered to 80% of the target volume (D 80%) was 16.80 GyE (range: 8.93-23.79 GyE). The most common adverse reactions were hyperamylasemia, alopecia, and hyperprolactinemia. Five patients experienced 8 cases of grade 3 or above adverse events, including 1 case of grade 4 acute kidney injury and 7 cases of grade 3 adverse events. All adverse events were recovered after observation or treatment. At 90 d after treatment, the ORR of all patients was 9/14 (64%, 95% CI: 35%-87%), disease control rate (DCR) was 10/14 (71%, 95% CI: 42%-92%), CRR was 2/14 (14%, 95% CI: 2%-42%); and the best overall response during the entire course included an ORR of 10/14 (71% ,95% CI: 42%-92%), DCR of 13/14 (93%, 95% CI: 66%-100%), and CRR of 3/14 (21% ,95% CI: 5%-51%). The 1-year survival rate for head and neck malignancies was 71.4%, and the 2-year survival rate was 42.8%. The 1-year survival rate for recurrent brain malignancies was 42.8%. Conclusion:AB-BNCT demonstrates favorable safety and promising efficacy in treating primary brain malignancies and recurrent/refractory head and neck malignancies, representing a potential therapeutic option.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of adverse reactions of reconstructive flaps after postoperative precision radiation therapy for head and neck tumors.Methods:Medical records of 46 patients who underwent radiotherapy after flap reconstruction for head and neck tumors in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2016 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival (OS), local regional control (LRC) and dosimetric parameters after radiotherapy were analyzed. The adverse reactions mainly including radiation dermatitis and flap necrosis at 3 and 6 months after radiotherapy, flap atrophy, flap fibrosis, dysphagia and chewing dysfunction at 12 and 24 months after radiotherapy were recorded. Adverse reactions were graded using the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Quantitative data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance or rank-sum test. Qualitative data were analyzed by chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Multivariate analysis of influencing factors of adverse reactions was performed using binary logistic stepwise regression.Results:All 46 patients were aged 57.6 years on average. The median follow-up time was 65 months (12-100 months). After the follow-up, 22 patients died, 6 recurred, and 7 had distant metastases. The 5-year OS rate was 48% and 5-year LRC rate was 69%. The incidence of radiation dermatitis was decreased over time after the end of radiotherapy: 80% (37/46) and 65% (30/46) at 3 months and 6 months after radiotherapy, respectively. The incidence of grade 3 radiation dermatitis was 11% (5/46) and 0 at 3 and 6 months after radiotherapy, respectively. The incidence of grade 2 flap necrosis was 4% (2/46) at 3 months after radiotherapy. At 12 months after radiotherapy, the incidence of flap atrophy and fibrosis was 83% (38/46) and 67% (31/46) , and the incidence of grade 3 flap atrophy and fibrosis was equally 4% (2/46) , respectively. All patients had dysphagia and chewing dysfunction at 12 months after radiotherapy. At 24 months after radiotherapy, 83% (38/46) and 61% (28/46) of patients still had dysphagia and chewing dysfunction. Multivariate regression analysis showed that irradiated flap volume, total radiotherapy dose, pharyngeal constrictor D mean and pharyngeal constrictor V 60 Gy, the interval between surgery and radiotherapy, gender and age were the independent influencing factors of adverse reactions of reconstructive flaps after precision radiation therapy for head and neck tumors. Conclusions:For patients undergoing flap reconstruction for head and neck tumors, under the premise of ensuring tumor control, the dose to normal tissue and flap blood supply area should be strictly limited, the irradiated volume should be reduced, and the interval between surgery and radiotherapy should be shortened (≤6 weeks) to reduce the risk of adverse reactions. Hypo-fractionated radiotherapy plan should be formulated or the total radiotherapy dose should be appropriately adjusted for elderly patients to reduce long-term complications.
