Objective:To explore the effectiveness of designing a training program for faculty supervisory specialists guided by adult learning theory.Methods:Based on the theory of adult learning, we designed a training program for faculty supervisory specialists in standardized residency training. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect satisfaction and learning outcomes from 31 trainees who participated in this training program from 2019 to 2022. SPSS 25.0 was used to conduct nonparametric tests of supervisory course ratings for four core teaching activities in 2019 and 2022.Results:The study showed that 100.00% (31/31) of training participants were very satisfied or satisfied with the training content and training methods, 96.77% (30/31) were very satisfied or satisfied with the training sessions, and 90.32%(28/31) of training participants felt that they had mastered the supervisory requirements. The course grades for mini-lectures ( Z=-3.01, P<0.05) and overall course supervision ( Z=-2.47, P<0.05) were significantly different between 2019 and 2022. Compared with 2019, the number of externally assigned instructors and externally assigned assessment experts increased significantly in 2022. The training program for faculty supervisory specialists has a high value for promotion. Conclusions:The supervisory specialist training program designed under the guidance of adult learning theory helps increase the interest of training participants in the training program and ultimately improves the effectiveness of the training program.

Objective To investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)of the EGF gene,including rs11569017(A>T),rs2237051(A>G),rs3733625(C>T),and rs4444903(A>G),and the risk of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in a Han population of Yunnan.Methods A total of 439 patients with NSCLC and 520 healthy controls were recruited in Yunnan Province between January 2022 and December 2023.Genotyping of four SNP loci in the EGF gene was performed using TaqMan probes,followed by analysis of allele,genotype,genetic model,and haplotype distribution frequencies between NSCLC and control groups.Stratified analyses were further conducted based on NSCLC pathological types and clinical stages.Results The rs2237051 locus showed significant differences in allele(P=0.011)and genotype(P=0.042)frequencies between the squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)group and the control group.The frequency of the A allele was lower in the SCC group than in the control group(OR=0.71,95%CI 0.54～1.85),but there was no difference after Bonferroni correction(P>0.0125).Under the log-additive model,the rs2237051-2G/G+A/G genotype was associated with an increased risk of SCC(P=0.01;OR=1.42,95%CI 1.08～1.86).However,the association lost statistical significance after Bonferroni correction(P>0.0125).The haplotype rs11569017-rs2237051-rs3733625-rs4444903 has no difference between the two groups(P>0.0125).The stratified analysis revealed no significant associations between the genetic loci and different disease stages(P>0.0125).Conclusion In the Yunnan Han population,the individuals carrying the rs2237051-A allele of the EGF gene have a significantly lower risk of squamous lung cancer,but further functional experiments are needed to verify the protective mechanism.

Objective:To focus on clinical mini-lectures characterized by flexible teaching formats and significant challenges in scoring during supervision, systematically explore the roles and characteristics of raw scores (directly assigned by supervisory experts) and standard scores (revealing the relative position of instructors withing the group through Z-score conversion) in evaluating the teaching level and development trends of residency training teachers, investigate the feasibility of flexibly combining these two scoring methods, and provide new ideas for comprehensive, scientific, and objective teaching evaluations. Methods:In May 2024, 24 teachers who were supervised by three or more experts at a standardized training base for residents from 2019 to 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The study analyzed differences in mean rankings and development trends between raw and standard scores. Excel and SPSS were used for score transformation and statistical analysis of differences.Results:The mean rankings of standard scores differed from those of raw scores for 17 (70.83%) teaching staff members, among which 8 (33.33%) had a lower mean ranking of standard scores than raw scores, and 9 (37.50%) had an improved mean ranking of standard scores. For 10 (41.67%) teaching staff members, the differences in raw scores given among different supervisors were reversed after standardization conversion. The changes in the trends of scores for 17 (70.83%) teaching staff members throughout the years were inconsistent before and after score conversion.Conclusions:There were significant differences between the statistical results of standard scores and raw scores, and the two types of results evaluated the teaching level of teachers in terms of absolute situation and their relative positions in the entire teaching staff group, respectively. Therefore, combining the two types of scores with distinct characteristics for teaching evaluation can help teaching management departments comprehensively and objectively reveal the teaching level of teachers, while enhancing the confidence of faculty in teaching.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rabies in China from 2007 to 2023, and to provide reference evidence for tailoring strategies to facilitate the elimination of rabies in the country.Methods:Case data from 2007 to 2023 were obtained from China′s National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting Information System, and the spatial, temporal, and demographic features of cases were analyzed.Results:From 2007 to 2023, a total of 18 751 human rabies cases were reported in China, with an average annual incidence rate of 0.08 per 100 000. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in incidence rate was -18.58% (95% CI: -21.32% to -15.75%, P<0.05), with three significant turning points in 2011, 2018, and 2021. Based on the trend of the epidemic, Chinese provinces can be roughly divided into five categories. The geographical range affected by rabies has decreased from 23 provinces and 984 counties (districts) in 2007 to 17 provinces and 101 counties (districts) in 2023. Since 2019, the high-incidence counties (districts) have been mainly concentrated in the southwestern part of Hunan, the southern part of Henan, and the western part of Anhui. Fourteen provinces have reported no cases for at least two consecutive years. Males (70.24%) and farmers (72.18%) were the main affected groups, and the proportion of cases aged 65 and above increased from 17.43% in 2007 to 36.07% in 2023. Conclusions:The incidence of rabies in China has changed from endemic in many areas to sporadic, with the remaining endemic regions mainly located in parts of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The main vulnerable groups are middle-aged and elderly farmers. The current prevention and control measures can effectively curb the transmission of rabies, but the decline of cases has slowed down recently.

Objective: Primary spinal cord glioblastoma (PSCGBM) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. To date, no prognostic nomogram for this rare disease was established. Hence, we aimed to develop a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) of PSCGBM. Methods: Clinical data of patients with PSCGBM was retrospectively collected from the neurosurgery department of Soochow University Affiliated Second Hospital and the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Information including age, sex, race, tumor extension, extent of resection, adjuvant treatment, marital status, income, year of diagnosis and months from diagnosis to treatment were recorded. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors for PSCGBM. A nomogram was constructed to predict 1-year, 1.5-year, and 2-year OS of PSCGBM. Results: A total of 132 patients were included. The 1-year, 1.5-year, and 2-year OS were 45.5%, 29.5%, and 18.9%, respectively. Four variables: age groups, tumor extension, extent of resection, and adjuvant therapy, were identified as independent prognostic factors. The nomogram showed robust discrimination with a C-index value for the prediction of 1-year OS, 1.5-year OS, and 2-year of 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–0.70), 0.72 (95% CI, 0.62–0.70), and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.61–0.70), respectively. The calibration curves exhibited high consistencies between the predicted and observed survival probability in this cohort. Conclusion We have developed and internally validated a nomogram for predicting the survival outcome of PSCGBM for the first time. The nomogram has the potential to assist clinicians in making individualized predictions of survival outcome of PSCGBM.
