Objective:To analyze the results of the practice test and formal test of the annual professional proficiency test for residents in 2022, to investigate related influencing factors and the effectiveness of the practice test, and to propose the measures for improving the results of the annual professional proficiency test.Methods:The scores of the annual professional proficiency test were analyzed for 202 residents who participated in the test in 2022, and the data on sex, education background, type of personnel, whether they passed the medical licensing examination, and practice test scores were analyzed to investigate related influencing factors. SPSS 23.0 and GraphPad Prism 8 were used for the chi-square test, the t-test, the one-way of variance, and the Fisher's exact test. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors, and a Pearson correlation analysis was also performed. Results:The scores of the annual professional proficiency test for 202 residents were normally distributed with the highest number of the residents with a score of 90-99 points and the lowest number of the residents with a score of <70 points. The residents who passed the medical licensing examination had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the examination ( t=2.87, P=0.005), and the residents who passed the three practice tests had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the practice tests ( P<0.05). The score of the second practice test, the score of the third practice test, and the passing of medical licensing examination were independent influencing factors for the score of annual professional proficiency test ( R2=0.236, R2=0.201, F=6.60, P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the scores of the three practice tests were positively correlated with the final score ( r=0.189, 0.373, and 0.311, P<0.05). Conclusions:Improving the passing rate of medical licensing examination and strengthening pre-examination practice tests can help to improve the score of annual professional proficiency test. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of training through the measures such as strengthening the homogenization management of different types of students, improving the attention and enthusiasm of all levels, and accelerating the construction of question banks.

Introduction::The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, a novel biomarker for metabolic syndrome (MetS), has been validated in the general population as being significantly correlated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, its capabilities to predict CVD in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PLWH) remain underexplored.Methods::We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 16,081 PLWH who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen (China) from 2005 to 2022. The baseline TG/HDL-C ratio was calculated as TG (mmol/L) divided by HDL-C (mmol/L). We employed a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model to assess the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and CVD occurrence, using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests to compare survival distributions. The increase in prediction risk upon the addition of the biomarker to the conventional risk model was examined through the assessment of changes in net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Nonlinear relationships were investigated using a restricted cubic spline plot, complemented by a two-piecewise Cox proportional hazards model to analyze threshold effects.Results::At the median follow-up of 70 months, 213 PLWH developed CVD. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated a significant association between the increased risk of CVD and a higher TG/HDL-C ratio (log-rank P <0.001). The multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model indicated that the CVD hazard ratios (HR) (95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]) for Q2, Q3, and Q4 versus Q1 of the TG/HDL-C ratio were 2.07 (1.24, 3.45), 2.17 (1.32, 3.57), and 2.20 (1.35, 3.58), respectively ( P <0.05). The consideration of the TG/HDL-C ratio in the model, which included all significant factors for CVD incidence, improved the predictive risk, as indicated by the reclassification metrics (NRI 16.43%, 95% CI 3.35%-29.52%, P = 0.014). The restriction cubic spline plot demonstrated an upward trend between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the CVD occurrence ( P for nonlinear association = 0.027, P for overall significance = 0.009), with the threshold at 1.013. Significantly positive correlations between the TG/HDL-C ratio and CVD were observed below the TG/HDL-C ratio threshold with HR 5.88 (95% CI 1.58-21.88, P = 0.008), but not above the threshold with HR 1.01 (95% CI 0.88-1.15, P = 0.880). Conclusion::Our study confirms the effectiveness of the TG/HDL-C ratio as a predictor of CVD risk in PLWH, which demonstrates a significant nonlinear association. These findings indicate the potential of the TG/HDL-C ratio in facilitating early prevention and treatment strategies for CVD among PLWH.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of bicyclol(BIC)on rat model of myocardial fibrosis and its possible mechanism.Methods Twenty-four SPF male SD rats were randomly di-vided into sham group,model group,low-and high-dose groups,with 6 rats in each group.Except for the sham group,all other groups were injected with 5 mg/(kg·d)isoproterenol by tail vein to establish myocardial fibrosis model,and the low-and high-dose groups were administered by ga-vage with 100 and 200 mg/(kg·d)BIC,respectively for 14 consecutive days.HE staining and Masson staining were used respectively to observe the severity of myocardial injury and fibrosis.Western blot assay was employed to detect the protein expression of Collagen Ⅰ,Collagen Ⅲ,al-pha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),methyltransferase-like protein 3(METTL3),α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AlkB homolog 5(ALKBH5)and YTH domain family protein 1(YTHDF1)in rat myocardium.Results Compared with the sham group,myocardial cell necrosis and myocardial fibrosis were significantly more serious in the model group.Low-and high-dose BIC treatment reduced myocardial cell rupture and necrosis and myocardial fibrosis when com-pared with the model group.The expression levels of Collagen Ⅰ,Collagen Ⅲ,α-SMA,METTL3 and YTHDF1(P<0.05)were significantly higher,and that of ALKBH5(0.58±0.02 vs 0.88±0.07,P<0.05)was notably lower in the myocardial tissues of the model group than the sham group.While,both doses of BIC treatment significantly reversed above changes in protein levels(P<0.05).Conclusion BIC can effectively alleviate myocardial structural damage and interstitial collagen deposition in rats with isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis,and its mechanism may be related to m6A methylation modification.

OBJECTIVE Optimizing the water extraction technology of Xiangqin jiere granules. METHODS The orthogonal test of 3 factors and 3 levels was designed, and comprehensive scoring was conducted for the above indexes by using G1-entropy weight to obtain the optimized water extraction technology of Xiangqin jiere granules with water addition ratio, extraction time and extraction times as factors, using the contents of forsythoside A, baicalin, phillyrin, oroxylin A-7-O-β-D-glycoside, wogonoside, baicalein and wogonin, and extraction rate as evaluation indexes. BP neural network modeling was used to optimize the network model and water extraction process using the results of 9 groups of orthogonal tests as test and training data, the water addition multiple, decocting time and extraction times as input nodes, and the comprehensive score as output nodes. Then the two analysis methods were compared by verification test to find the best water extraction process parameters. RESULTS The water extraction technology optimized by the orthogonal test was 8-fold water, extracting 3 times, extracting for 1 h each time. Comprehensive score was 96.84 (RSD=0.90%). The optimal water extraction technology obtained by BP neural network modeling included 12-fold water, extracting 4 times, extracting for 0.5 h each time. The comprehensive score was 92.72 (RSD=0.77%), which was slightly lower than that of the orthogonal test. CONCLUSIONS The water extraction technology of Xiangqin jiere granules is optimized successfully in the study, which includes adding 8-fold water, extracting 3 times, and extracting for 1 hour each time.

With the rapid development of information technology and the change in military education policy in the new era, online teaching has gradually become one of the main approaches to implement the clinical medical education in military teaching hospitals. In this study, the online teaching was performed mainly by pre-recorded teaching, supplemented by online live teaching. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) and the seminar-style teaching were advocated to be used in advanced disciplines. The quality of online teaching was guaranteed through infrastructure provision, teacher arrangement, teaching preparation, teaching interactivity, after-class test, teaching evaluation, supervision, and summary of teaching, which ultimately achieved a good effect. The results of the two-way questionnaires of 26 teachers and 129 students showed that 23.26% (30/129) of students and 65.38% (17/26) of teachers believed that students' learning ability was insufficient. 34.88% (45/129) of students and 23.08% (6/26) of teachers thought that the existing technology could not meet the requirements of online teaching. 55.04% (71/129) of students and 69.23% (18/26) of teachers held the view that the effect of online teaching was inferior to face-to-face teaching. 28.68% (37/129) of students and 57.69% (15/26) of faculty asked for the return of face-to-face education. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of smart classroom platforms, establish a well-developed online teaching quality evaluation system, and integrate various innovative teaching modes with the online teaching. In these ways, it is expected to optimize the online teaching of clinical medicine and achieve the goal of online teaching.
