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 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.

AIM: To observe the effects of miR-542-5p on the proliferation of rat small intestine crypt epithe-lial IEC-6 cells induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P).METHODS: Two IEC-6 cell lines (SphK1-IEC-C1 and SphK1-IEC-C2) were established, which expressed sphingosine kinase-1 (SphK1) stably.Radioactive tracer was used to detect SphK1 activity and S1P secretion.The cell proliferation was observed by cell counting and described by drawing growth curve, and the cell cycle analysis was carried out by flow cytometry.The level of miR-542-5p was evaluated by RT-qPCR.RESULTS: Compared with control vector cells without SphK1 cDNA, both SphK1-IEC-C1 and SphK1-IEC-C2 cell lines showed that Sphk1 was elevated, both intracellular and extracellular S1P increased dramatically, the rate of cell growth was faster, the percentage of the cells in S phase increased, and miR-542-5p expression decreased.S1P (0.5~10 μmol/L) led to the decrease in miR-542-5p expression.On the contrary, SphK1 silencing resulted in the increase in miR-542-5p expression in the IEC-6 cells.The miR-542-5p was elevated in SphK1-IEC-C1 cells and SphK1-IEC-C2 cells, which caused the decrease in the percentage of the cells in S phase.The cell growth rate in the above-mentioned 2 cell lines decreased compared with negative control group.CONCLUSION: In IEC-6 cells, S1P promotes proliferation by inhibiting miR-542-5p expression, which induces the cell cycle transferring from G1 phase to S phase.

Objective Glucose metabolism trend was dynamicly mornitored following liver transplantation, and its affecting factors were assessed. Methods The glucose metabolism status were assessed at four time points respectively after liver transplants, then they were divided into two groups:normal glucose metabolism (NGM) and abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM). The clinical data were univariate analyzed and multivariate analyzed to screen the risk factors. Results At 1 month, 3 months, 1 year and 3 years post-transplantation, the incidence of AGM were 74.0%, 43.9%, 29.4%, 24.1% respectively Between these two groups, age > 45 y had a significant difference at 1 month, 3 months, 1 year and 3years post-transplantation; the use of tacrolimus had a significant difference at 3 months, 1 year and 3years post-transplantation, but the dose of tacrolimus or tacrolimus blood concentration showed no significant difference; high dose of glucocorticoid had significant difference at 1 month , 3 months post-transplantation; high BMI and acute rejection had significant difference at 1 month post-transplantation. Conclusions There is a high incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) in the early stage post-transplantation, and a considerable number of patients' glucose metabolism improved in the later period. Age>45 y and tacrolimus affect glucose metabolism for a longer period post-transplants. High BMI and acute rejection have an impact on glucose metabolism only in the early stage post-transplantation. Large dose of glucocorticoid affect glucose metabolism for at least 3 months post-transplantation , and there is no significant difference after 1 year.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C and coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal uric protein.Methods According to the coronary artery lesion diagnosed by 320-dynamic volume CT,the 126 T2DM patients with normal uric protein were divided into three groups:no coronary stenosis group (group A,32 cases),coronary atherosclerosis group(group B,38 cases),coronary heart disease group (group C,56 cases).Then the serum cystatin C etc were compared among the three groups.Results The levels of serum cystatin C in group A,B,C were (0.89 ± 0.27),(1.31 ± 0.53),(1.54 ± 0.62) mg/L.With the increase of coronary artery lesions,it gradually increased,there was significant difference among the three groups (P ＜ 0.05).The patients were divided into three groups according to the level of serum cystatin C quartile.The incidence of coronary artery lesion in creased with the increased levels of serum cystatin C.The level of serum cystatin C increased from 75th percentile to 100th percentile,the incidence of coronary heart disease increased significantly (OR =8.32,P ＜0.05).The result of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that history of hypertension (regression coefficient 4.135,P =0.000),glycosylated hemoglobin (regression coefficient 1.257,P =0.002),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (regression coefficient 3.381,P =0.015),cystatin C (regression coefficient 2.046,P =0.030) were the independent risks of coronary heart disease in patients with T2DM.Conclusion The level of serum cystatin C may be a predictor for coronary heart disease in T2DM patients with normal uric protein.

Objective To study the effects of sulodexide on islet B-cell function in streptozocin induced di-abetic rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into normal control group (group C), dia-betic group without treatment(group D), and suledexide treatment group(group S), a single dose of streptozotocin were abdominally injected to establish the diabetic rat models. Each animal in sulodexide treated group was addition-ally fed with sulodexide of 10 mg/(kg·d) for 12 weeks,while the remained group (group C and D) were given normal water in the same period. After 12 weeks of treatment, fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting plasma insulin (FINS), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), triglyceride (TG), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum creatinine rates (SCr) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured. Insulin sensitivity index(ISI) and insulin resistant index (HOMA-IR) were calculated. Results After 12 weeks, the levels of TG, LDL-C and ALT had no significant difference between group D and group S, but were higher than those in group C (P <0.05);There were no significant difference of SCr levels among the three groups. Compared with the group C, APTT, PT, TT and ISI in group D and S were significantly decreased, HOMA-IR were significantly increased (P < 0.05). APTT, PT, TT and ISI in group S had significantly increased compared with that in group D, HOMA-IR was significantly decreased in group S compared with that in group D (P < 0.01). Conclusions Sulodexide can reduce insulin resistant, improve hypercoagulability and insulin sensitiv-ity in streptozocin induced diabetic rats. The effects to blood lipid, liver and renal functions in diabetic rats are not obvious.

Objective To investigate the relationship between dyslipidemia,obesity,insulin resistance (IR)and various degrees of non.alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the risk factors of NAFLD.Methods Two hundred and sixty-eight patients were divided into three groups(non-NAFLD group,mild NAFLD group,moderate and severe NAFLD group)by liver ultrasonography.Body height(H),weight(W),waist circumference(WC),hip circumference(H)were measured.The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin A_1c(GHbA_1C),serum total cholesterol(TC),serunl high density lipoprotein(HDL-C),serum low density lipoprotein(LDL-C),serum triglyceride (TG),alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and fasting serum insulin(FINS)were measured.Body mass index(BMI),the waist to hip ratio(WHR)and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)were calculated.Unconditional logistic regression model was used to test for the risk factors of NAFLD.Results BMI、WC、WHR、HNS、HOMA.IR、TC、LDL-C、TG and ALT in NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in non-NAFLD group (P<0.05).The levels of BMI、WC、WHR、HNS、HOMA-IR、 TG and ALT increased significantly in moderate and severe NAFLD group compared with mild NAFLD group(P<0.05).TG、WHR and HOMA.IR were the risk factors of NAFLD(P<0.05,OR=2.394,3.273,5.256).Conclusions NAFLD in patients with T2DM had remarkable dyslipidemia,overweight,central obesity and insulin resistance.TG、WHR and HOMA.IR were risk factors of NAFLD.

Objective To compare the excursion of blood glucose (BG) in the type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) plus glargine or human isophane insulin (HII). Methods A 1 : 1 randomization schedule assigned 30 type 2 diabetics inadequately controlled on OADs (fasting BG>9.0 mmol/L and HbA1C > 8.5%) to 2 groups additionally treated with glargine or HII. The insulin dose was titrated to achieve fasting capillary BG<6.0 mmol/L. Montoring BG with continuous glucose monitoring system, then the standard deviation of BG (SDBG), maximal excursion of BG (LAGE) and coefficient of variation (CV) of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were calculated. Results SDBG (1.49±0.35 vs 1.73±0.46), LAGE (3.23±0.76 vs 3.73± 1.00) and CV-FPG (17.26±2.24 vs 20.33±3.21) were lower in glargine group than those in HII group (P< 0.05). No difference could be found in hypoglycaemia between two groups. Conclusion OADs plus glargine could make blood glucose more stable than OADs plus HII without increasing the incidence of hypoglycaemia.
