ObjectiveBiochemistry and Molecular Biology, a discipline that elucidates life phenomena at the molecular level, serves as a core foundational course in medical education. It provides the theoretical basis for studying other basic and clinical medical subjects, as well as for understanding pathogenesis, disease diagnosis, and treatment. However, its complex content and highly abstract concepts have posed a dual challenge to traditional teaching models: “inefficient instruction” and “inadequate learning outcomes”. Within limited classroom hours, how to engage students and stimulate their intrinsic motivation, and how to help them recognize, understand, and develop a passion for biochemistry from the perspective of the discipline’s essence, have long been key focuses of curriculum research. MethodsUsing the lipid metabolism chapter as an example, this study employs “Rain Classroom”, a generative artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted platform, to support education in four dimensions: teaching, learning, evaluation, and research. In teaching, it assists instructors through virtual experiments, lesson preparation support, knowledge mapping, and assignment design. For learning, it serves as an intelligent study assistant for students, providing automated assignment review, enabling educational resource sharing, and facilitating personalized learning pathways. In evaluation, the platform automates assignment grading, analyzes student performance data, and offers diagnostic feedback and teaching recommendations. In research, it aids educators in collecting and analyzing teaching data, as well as searching for and summarizing relevant literature. ResultsThe results indicate that an educational model integrating teacher-led instruction, student-centered learning, and generative AI assistance significantly enhances teaching quality, students’ self-directed learning abilities, and knowledge mastery. Furthermore, with the support of generative AI, curriculum-based ideological education—focusing on cutting-edge disciplinary advances and topical medical issues—helps cultivate students’ medical spirit of “honoring life and healing the wounded”, thereby fostering the establishment of appropriate professional values. Finally, while generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges for higher education, this study also analyzes potential risks in its teaching applications, emphasizing the need for both instructors and students to avoid over-reliance and to ensure that technological tools consistently serve the fundamental goals of education. ConclusionThis study demonstrates that integrating generative AI, specifically via the “Rain Classroom” platform, can effectively enhance biochemistry education. By supporting teaching, learning, evaluation, and research, this approach improves both educational effectiveness and student outcomes. It also facilitates the incorporation of cutting-edge knowledge and professional ethics, nurturing a patient-centered mindset. Additionally, the study addresses potential implementation risks to ensure that such technological tools remain aligned with the core purpose of education.

This article systematically reviews and examines the historical evolution of Bambusae Succus as a medicinal material， covering aspects such as nomenclature， origin， geographical distribution， harvesting and processing methods， quality assessment， therapeutic effects and indications， by consulting ancient herbal texts， medical compendia， and modern literature. The aim is to provide a reference for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. Research indicated that Bambusae Succus was first documented in the Shennong Bencaojing during the Han dynasty， with Zhuli being the standard name used throughout history， alongside aliases like Zhuzhi， Zhuyou and Huoquan. Historically， the primary source of Bambusae Succus has been Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis（Danzhu）， although other species such as Pleioblastus amarus and Bambusa emeiensis have also been used medicinally. Ancient records predominantly noted its origin in Yizhou（present-day Chengdu and surrounding areas in Sichuan） and the Wuling region（between present-day Hunan， Guangdong， Guangxi and Jiangxi provinces）， while contemporary sources are mainly from regions south of the Yangtze River and southwestern China. Traditionally， Bambusae Succus was harvested from bamboo that had grown for exactly one year， today， it can be collected year-round without strict age requirements. Ancient preparation methods included direct fire roasting or dry distillation， whereas modern industrial production employs dry distillation， reflux extraction， and percolation. In terms of quality evaluation， ancient texts considered a sweet taste to be superior， while today， clarity and transparency are prioritized. Historically， Bambusae Succus was characterized as sweet and cold nature， targeting the lung and stomach meridians， with uses evolving from clearing heat and resolving phlegm to nourishing Yin， moistening dryness， and relaxing tendons and unblocking meridians. Modern descriptions classify it as sweet， bitter， and cold in nature， affecting the heart， liver， and lung meridians， with functions including clearing heat， resolving phlegm， and facilitating orifices. It is indicated for conditions such as stroke with phlegm confusion， lung heat with phlegm congestion， convulsions， epilepsy， excessive phlegm in febrile diseases， high fever with thirst， irritability during pregnancy， and tetanus， with more clearly defined applications. Based on the results of the research， it is recommended that when developing and utilizing famous classical formulas containing Bambusae Succus， the one-year-old Phyllostachys nigra var. Henonis， which has been highly praised throughout history， should be selected as the source material. Industrial production should adopt the dry distillation method. Furthermore， in-depth research should be conducted on the modern technological characterization of the traditional quality control indicator of sweet taste， and reasonable modern quality control standards should be established.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of continuing medical education (CME) and continuing professional development (CPD) systems in China, the perceptions of health professionals regarding CME/CPD, and their views on the extent to which the current CME/CPD systems meet learning needs.Methods:A questionnaire survey method was employed. The Chinese version of the global CME/CPD questionnaire developed by the Association for Medical Education in Europe was used to conduct an online survey of 2 951 health professionals across 32 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government in mainland China from 2020 to 2021. The survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and content analysis.Results:Among the 2 951 respondents, internal medicine practitioners accounted for the highest proportion (664, 22.50%), and 2 050 (69.47%) of the respondents were located in the eastern region. In the past 12 months, 1 489 (50.46%) respondents participated in 11-30 hours of CME/CPD, and 2 406 (81.53%) considered that the existing activities met their learning needs. There were statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) in the learning needs for CME/CPD, participation in educational training and interprofessional continuing education, and satisfaction with industry-supported CME/CPD among health professionals with different years of practice. Conclusions:Health professionals in China have a high level of participation in CME/CPD. There are differences in their familiarity and satisfaction with the current systems. It is recommended to enhance the promotion of the CME/CPD systems, optimize the teaching content, improve education quality, and strengthen commercial interest regulation. These will better meet the learning needs of health professionals and promote high-quality development in medical education.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ligation methods of inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) on preserving left colic artery (LCA) in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. The clinical data of 864 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2020 to December 2024 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into the low ligation group and high ligation group using a random number table. Patients of the low ligation group underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with preserving LCA by low ligation of IMA and apical lymph node dissection, and patients of the high ligation group underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with traditional high ligation of IMA. Observation indicators: (1) grouping of the enrolled patients; (2) intraoperative conditions; (3) postoperative pathological examination; (4) postoperative recovery. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the non-parametric test. Results:(1) Grouping of the enrolled patients. A total of 864 patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer were screened for eligibility, including 410 males and 454 females, aged (63±11)years. All 864 patients were randomly divided into the low ligation group and high ligation group, with 432 patients in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, carcinoembryonic antigen, distance from tumor to anal margin, diabetes, hypertension, neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy, IMA subtypes and IMA length between the two groups ( P>0.05), ensuring comparability. (2) Intraoperative conditions. All patients of the two groups successfully completed surgery, with no errors in blood vessel ligation during operation or conversion to open surgery. There was a significant difference in time of IMA dissection between the low ligation group and high ligation group [(31±11)minutes vs. (28±9)minutes, t=4.39, P<0.05], and there was no significant difference in total operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss or prophylactic stoma rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). (3) Postopera-tive pathological examination. There was a significant difference in the number of lymph node dissected between the low ligation group and high ligation group (1.8±1.4 vs. 1.5±1.4, t=2.51, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in tumor diameter, the total number of lymph node dissected, total lymph node positive status, No.253 lymph node positive status, TNM staging between the two groups ( P>0.05). (4) Postoperative recovery. The time to postoperative first flatus and the number of anastomotic leakage of patients in the low ligation group were (74±22)hours and 16 cases, versus (78±20)hours and 31 cases in the high ligation group, respectively, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=2.52, χ2=5.06, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the time to postoperative initial liquid food intake, duration of post-operative hospital stay, duration of abdominal drainage tube indwelling, duration of anal tube indwelling, postoperative wound infection, pulmonary infection, intestinal obstruction, or urinary dysfunction between the two groups ( P>0.05). None of patients in the two groups had readmission or death during the postoperative 30 days. Conclusion:Low ligation of IMA in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer can guide precise LCA preservation, which is beneficial for accelerating the recovery of intestinal function and reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage.

Objective To explore the risk factors for UGIB after dual antiplatelet therapy(aspirin+P2Y12 receptor antagonist)in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS)undergoing PCI,and then construct a nomogram model.Methods A total of 1590 elderly patients diagnosed with ACS and then undergoing PCI in Jinzhou Central Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively recruited,and randomly divided into a testing group(n=1114)and a valida-tion group(n=476)in a ratio of 7∶3.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify the independent risk factors for UGIB events,and then a prediction model was constructed and verified for its diagnostic performance.The predictive value of our prediction model for UGIB events was compared with that of PRECISE-DAPT scoring system.Results There were no statistical differences in baseline data between the testing group and the validation group(P＞0.05).The incidence of UGIB was 3.9％(62/1590)in the patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age(OR=1.064,95％CI:1.032-1.097,P=0.000),alcohol(OR=2.433,95％CI:1.220-4.823,P=0.011),heart failure(OR=3.734,95％CI:1.882-7.404,P=0.000),gastrointestinal ulcer/bleeding(OR=3.030,95％CI:1.391-6.618,P=0.005),and Cr(OR=1.017,95％CI:1.014-1.040,P=0.000)were independent risk factors for UGIB in these patients after dual antiplatelet therapy.The constructed nomogram model based on the risk factors obtained an AUC value of 0.806(95％CI:0.739-0.872)in the testing set and 0.838(95％CI:0.737-0.945)in the validation set.The AUC value of the PRECISE-DAPT scoring system in predicting UGIB was 0.674(95％CI:0.583-0.766),which was significantly lower than our mod-el(P＜0.05),indicating the nonogram showing good discriminability.Calibration curve analysis and H-L goodness of fit test revealed that our model had good consistency and was well fit(vali-dation set:P=0.846,testing set:P=0.326).Decision curve analysis displayed that our model showed good potential clinical benefits.Conclusion Age,history of gastrointestinal ulcer/bleed-ing,alcohol,heart failure and Cr are independent risk factors for UGIB in these post-PCI patients after dual antiplatelet therapy.The prediction model constructed with these factors has good dis-criminability,calibration and fitting,shows sound clinical application,and can be served as an ef-fective prediction tool for UGIB events in the patients.

Objective To analyze the deployment of policy instruments and the distribution of stakeholder engagement in provincial policies on nursing assistant training and management.Methods The relevant policy texts on nursing assistant training and management were systematically searched and collected from the official websites of provincial governments and their direct departments,CNKI,and the PKU Law Database.A two-dimensional framework of policy instruments-stakeholder was constructed,and the content analysis was used to classify,encode and quantify policy clauses.Results The study encompassed 20 provincial-level nursing assistant training and management policies,yielding a total of 359 codes.Within the policy instruments dimension,environmental,supply,and demand instruments constituted 66.30％,28.97％,and 4.74％,respectively.In terms of stakeholders,the management-side accounted for 56.55％,providers and trainers for 18.11％each,partners for 5.01％,and demand-side for 2.23％.Both management-side and trainers engaged with 3 policy instruments,providers with 2,and partners and demand-side with one each.Conclusion In the provincial nursing assistant training and management policies,there are differences in the deployment of policy instruments,and the distribution of stakeholders is uneven.Managers should pay attention to publicity guidance and platform construction,improve incentive mechanisms and training programs,and innovate cooperation models with stakeholders,as well as strengthen communication and exchange.

Objective To observe brain development of 0-6 years healthy children based on 3D-structural MRI(sMRI).Methods Brain 3D-sMRI T1WI of 228 healthy children aged 0-6 years were retrospectively analyzed.The absolute volume of total brain volume(TBV),white matter volume(WMV),total gray matter volume(tGMV),cortical gray matter volume(GMV)and subcortical gray matter volume(sGMV),as well as standardized values of the above indexes except for TBV were obtained,and the cortical surface area and thickness were measured.The changes of above parameters in different ages were analyzed.Results During 0-5 years,TBV and the absolute volume of WMV,tGMV,GMV and sGMV increased(all P＜0.05)with gradually slowed down speed,while during 5-6 years,no significant increase of the above parameters was noticed(all P＞0.05).During 0-1 year,standardized WMV and sGMV decreased,then the former gradually increased during 1-4 years(all P＜0.05),while the latter did not change significantly(all P＞0.05),and no significant change of standardized WMV nor sGMV were found during 4-6 years(all P＞0.05).During 0-1 year,both standardized tGMV and GMV increased,while during 1-6 years,except for significant decrease in standardized tGMV during 3-4 years(P＜0.05),other parameters remained relatively stable(all P＞0.05).Cerebral cortex surface area increased during 0-5 years(all P＜0.05),especially during 0-3 years,which did not obviously enlarge during 5-6 years old(P＞0.05).Cerebral cortex thickness increased rapidly during 0-1 year and reached peak at about 1.5 years,then presented slow fluctuations without significant changes(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Brain development of 0-6 years healthy children had certain characteristics.

AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Cinobufosin Injection combined with RALOX-HAIC regimen on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS Ninety-two patients were randomly assigned into control group(46 cases)for intervention of RALOX-HAIC regimen,and observation group(46 cases)for intervention of both Cinobufosin Injection and RALOX-HAIC regimen.The changes in short-term effects,survival situation,inflammatory indices(LCN2,NLRP3 inflammasome,NLR,PLR),immune indices(NK cells,CD8+T cells,IL-17,Th17/Treg)and incidence of toxic and side effects were detected.RESULTS Based on mRECIST,the observation group demonstrated higher disease control rate and objective remission rate than the control group(P＜0.05),along with lower disease progression(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased inflammatory indices,IL-17,Th17/Treg(P＜0.05),and increased NK cells,CD8+T cells(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).The observation group exhibited lower incidence of abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,leukopenia and thrombocytopenia than the control group(P＜0.05),and no significant differences in overall survival and incidence of other toxic and side effects were found between the two groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,Cinobufosin Injection combined with RALOX-HAIC regimen can safely and effectively enhance body immune functions,and reduce in vivo immune indices.
