Teaching clinics represent a unique form of outpatient training of resident physicians and serve as a crucial instrument and core component of standardized training of general practice residents. This article reviews the common model and innovations of teaching clinics of general practice in China, and analyzes their reported effectiveness in enhancing the capabilities of consultation of resident physicians, the teaching capabilities of general practice trainers, as well as satisfaction levels of involved participants. It outlines the challenges encountered in implementing teaching clinics, including inadequate teaching facilities and equipment, incomplete incentive system for teaching, difficulties in patient recruitment, and weaknesses in the teaching capabilities of trainers. To address these challenges, this article proposes corresponding strategies based on realistic needs, including the improvement of facilities and equipment in teaching clinics, the establishment of incentive systems for teaching clinics, the expansion of patient recruitment channels for teaching clinics, and the enhancement of training for trainers' teaching capabilities. This is envisaged to provide both theoretical bases and practical guidance for the effective execution and standardized development of teaching clinics in general practice residency training bases.

Aim To explore the potential mechanism of action of Codonopsis Poria in the treatment of alco-holic liver disease(ALD).Methods TCMSP and Swiss Target Prediction were used to obtain the active ingredients and targets of Codonopsis Poria;OMMI,DisGeNET and GeneCards databases were used to obtain the targets of ALD;STRING database was used to construct the PPI network;and Bioconductor soft-ware was used to analyze the enrichment of GO and KEGG pathways.Cytoscape 3.7.1 software was used to construct the drug-component-target-disease network of Codonopsis Poria for ALD treatment,and key targets were screened for molecular docking;the effects of Codonopsis Poria on ALD rats were verified by experi-ments.Results The removal of duplicate targets ob-tained 36 chemical components and 529 potential ac-tion targets.GO enrichment analysis:2 245 biological processes,74 cellular components,125 molecular functions.KEGG enrichment analysis:159 signaling pathways,mainly involving PI3K-Akt,MAPK,AGE-RAGE signaling pathways.Molecular docking showed that AKT1,MMP9 and other targets may be the key targets of Codonopsis Poria in the treatment of ALD.Experiments showed that Codonopsis Poria could im-prove the inflammation level of hepatocytes in ALD rats and reduce the levels of TC,TG,AST,ALT and GGT in ALD rats,PCR assay concluded that Codonopsis Po-ria could reduce the expression of PI3 K and AKT,and electron microscopy results showed that Codonopsis Po-ria could affect the autophagy of cells.Conclusions It is initially revealed that Codonopsis Poria may atten-uate inflammatory cell infiltration by affecting the ex-pression of AKT,TNF and MAPK,and it is hypothe-sized that Codonopsis Poria may affect autophagy through the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,thus treating ALD,which is initially verified by PCR assay to pro-vide a basis for in-depth explanation of the molecular mechanism of Codonopsis Poria medicinal pairs in the treatment of ALD.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of two-hole and four-hole laparoscopic surgery in patients with sigmoid carcinoma,and to explore the influencing factors leading to complications.Methods The clinical data of 130 patients with sigmoid carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from October 2020 to December 2022 were analyzed.The patients were divided into groups according to the surgical perforation methods.Sixty-eight patients in two-hole group were treated with two-hole laparoscopic surgery and 62 patients in four-hole group were treated with four-hole laparoscopic surgery.The perioperative indexes,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores and postoperative complications of patients in the two groups were observed and compared,and the influencing factors of complications were analyzed.Results The total incision length,first time to get out of bed,first postoperative exhaust time,postoperative hospital stay and VAS score at each time point after surgery of patients in two-hole group were significantly shorter/lower than those in four-hole group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the age,preoperative albumin,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,first time to get out of bed,first postoperative exhaust time,postoperative hospital stay,VAS scores at the 3rd day and 5th days after surgery of patients in the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group(P<0.05).Further Logistic regression analysis showed that operation time and preoperative albumin<35 g/L were the main influencing factors for the occurrence of complications(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with four-hole laparoscopic surgery,two-hole laparoscopic surgery for patients with sigmoid carcinoma has shorter time of perioperative recovery,less postoperative pain,and no difference was found in postoperative complications between the two methods.Operation time and preoperative albumin level<35 g/L were the main influencing factors for the occurence of complications.

Objective:To analyze the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous thermal ablation treatment for multiple T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)with over 5 years follow-up.Methods:From January 2014 to January 2019,a retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with multiple T1N0M0 PTC who underwent ultrasound-guided thermal ablation.Patients with bilateral or unilateral lobes with isthmus PTC were enrolled in this study and were followed up at 1,3,6,12,24,36,48,and 60 months after ablation.The clinical data,ultrasound characteristics and ablation parameters of recurrent and non-recurrent patients were compared,and the efficacy and influencing factors of thermal ablation for multiple T1N0M0 PTC were analyzed.Results:After over 5 years follow-up,a total of 11 patients(16.18％)relapsed,57 patients(83.82％)did not re-lapse.No lymph node and distant metastasis were found.No significant correlation was detected between the recurrence and clinical features,ultrasound findings and ablation parameters(P＞0.05).Among the patients with recurrence,1 patient underwent observation,2 patients underwent total thyroidectomy,and the other 8 patients successfully underwent secondary ablation,all of which had no obvious adverse reactions.Conclusion:The ablation of multiple PTC in T1N0M0 stage is safe and effective,with a recurrence rate of 16.18％over 5 years follow-up,and ablation has no effect on second treatment for recurrent patients.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of hypertension inducing erectile dysfunction(ED)using transcriptomics and network pharmacology.Methods:We randomly divided 12 male rats with spontaneous hypertension(SHT)into an L-arginine(LA)group(n=6)and an SHT model control(MC)group(n=6),took another 6 Wistar Kyoto male rats as normal controls(NC),and treated the animals in the LA group by intraperitoneal injection of LA at 400 mg/kg and those in the latter two groups with physio-logical saline,once a day,all for 7 days.Then we observed the blood pressure and penile erection of the rats,and determined the ex-pressions of the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway-related proteins and mRNAs in different groups using ELISA,Western blot and RT-qPCR.Results:Transcriptomics combined with network pharmacology showed that the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway played a key role in hypertension-induced ED.In vivo animal experiments revealed a significantly lower frequency of penile erections in the MC than in the NC group(1.33±0.52 vs 2.67±0.51,P＜0.05).The protein expressions of eNOS,PKG and sGC were markedly de-creased in the model controls compared with those the normal controls(P＜0.05),but remarkably upregulated in the LA group com-pared with those in the MC group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Hypertension decreases the expressions of eNOS,NO,sGC,cGMP and PKG proteins and the level of testosterone by inhibiting the cGMP/PKG signaling pathway,which consequently suppresses the relaxa-tion of the penile vascular smooth muscle and reduces erectile function.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction in alleviating inflammatory liver injury in rats with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and its effect on the activation intensity for the NLRP3 signaling pathway.Methods:63 SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose groups of Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction (7.29 g/kg/d, 14.58 g/kg/d, and 29.16 g/kg/d). The ACLF rat model was replicated using carbon tetrachloride combined with d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide. Different dose gradients of the Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction were used for a five-day intervention treatment, and then rat serum and tissue samples were collected. A biochemical analyzer was used to detect the serum levels of ALT, AST, and TBIL in rats. ELISA was used to detect serum IL-18 and IL-1β content. HE staining was used to observe histomorphological changes in liver tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect GSDMD expression in liver tissue. Western blot and PCR were used to detect NLRP3, Caspase1, ASC, TLR4, IL-1β, IL-18 protein, and mRNA expression levels.The groups were compared using analysis of variance and the rank-sum test.Results:Compared with the blank group, the model group’s rat liver tissue was severely injured. Serum levels of ALT, AST, and TBIL, inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18, and the GSDMD protein expression level, NLRP3 expression level, TLR4, caspase 1, ASC, IL-1β, IL-18 protein, and mRNA ( P<0.01) were all significantly increased in the model than the blank group ( P<0.01). Additionally, compared with the model group, the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups of Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction had improved liver tissue injury in ACLF rats, while the serum levels of ALT, AST, TBIL, IL-1β, IL-18, liver tissue GSDMD protein, NLRP3, TLR4, caspase 1, and ASC expressions were all lower in the different dose gradients of the Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction than the model group, with the most evident reduction in the high-dose group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Shengsan Jiedu Huayu decoction can weaken the activation intensity of the NLRP3 signaling pathway, alleviate liver tissue pathological injury, reduce inflammatory factor release, and alleviate inflammatory liver injury in ACLF rats.

Further evidence is needed to explore the impact of high-altitude environments on the neurologic function of neonates.Non-invasive techniques such as cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography can provide data on cerebral oxygenation and brain electrical activity.This study will conduct multiple cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy and amplitude-integrated electroencephalography monitoring sessions at various time points within the first 3 days postpartum for healthy full-term neonates at different altitudes.The obtained data on cerebral oxygenation and brain electrical activity will be compared between different altitudes,and corresponding reference ranges will be established.The study involves 6 participating centers in the Chinese High Altitude Neonatal Medicine Alliance,with altitude gradients divided into 4 categories:800 m,1 900 m,2 400 m,and 3 500 m,with an anticipated sample size of 170 neonates per altitude gradient.This multicenter prospective cohort study aims to provide evidence supporting the impact of high-altitude environments on early brain function and metabolism in neonates.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(4):403-409]

The patient,a male newborn,was admitted to the hospital 2 hours after birth due to prematurity(gestational age 27+5 weeks)and respiratory distress occurring 2 hours postnatally.After admission,the infant developed fever and elevated C-reactive protein levels.On the fourth day after birth,metagenomic next-generation sequencing of cerebrospinal fluid indicated a positive result for Mycoplasma hominis(9 898 reads).On the eighth day,a retest of cerebrospinal fluid metagenomics confirmed Mycoplasma hominis(56 806 reads).The diagnosis of purulent meningitis caused by Mycoplasma hominis was established,and the antibiotic treatment was switched to moxifloxacin[5 mg/(kg·day)]administered intravenously for a total of 4 weeks.After treatment,the patient's cerebrospinal fluid tests returned to normal,and he was discharged as cured on the 76th day after birth.This article focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal Mycoplasma hominis purulent meningitis,introducing the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of the condition in extremely preterm infants.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(4):432-436]
