In the challenging and specific military environment， medical activities are not only confined to traditional medical care but must also adapt to the special requirements of military operations. Meanwhile， when military operations employ medical interventions for treatment and research， they introduce complexities and ethical considerations inherent in the medical domain. Against this backdrop， the ethical conflicts and moral dilemmas confronted by the special identity of military doctors have become an inevitable and urgent issue requiring resolution. The identities of doctors and soldiers， typically distinct， overlap and intersect in the role of the military doctors on the battlefield， inevitably giving rise to intricate ethical predicaments that frequently place them in arduous moral choices. The special considerations in behavioral decision-making， contradictions in value judgments， and the reconciliation of moral injury among military doctors in battlefield scenarios should be comprehensively considered based on factors such as professional codes of conduct， values and emotions， international law， and humanitarian principles. Military doctors should regard respecting life as the supreme principle， while also taking into account the protection needs of special groups， and adhering to the core concept of fairness and reasonableness， all of which should serve as the fundamental guidance for their behavioral standards.

The red doctor spirit is the advanced culture of the Communist Party of China formed under a specific historical and cultural background. It can be summarized as “political firmness， excellent technology， working hard， and healing the wounded and rescuing the dying.” This content has many hidden similarities and integrations with the goal of cultivating humanistic literacy for medical students in military medical universities. This paper aimed to identify the important connection points between the red doctor spirit and the contents and goals of medical humanities teaching， as well as integrate the red doctor spirit into medical humanities teaching by various dimensions， including systematic reconstruction of textbook content， immersive innovation in teaching form， three-dimensional support in resource construction， and innovative implementation of narrative medicine teaching. It also further explored the extension of the red doctor spirit in military medical humanistic literacy， namely， revolutionary humanism and revolutionary heroism， thereby enhancing the effectiveness of medical humanistic teaching.

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association (AHA) introduced the concept of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) health and stage, reflecting the interaction among metabolism, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the cardiovascular system. However, the association between CKM stage and the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been validated. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term CVD risk associated with CKM health metrics and CKM stage using data from a population-based cohort study. METHODS: In total, 5293 CVD-free participants were followed up to around 13 years in the Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study (CMCS). Considering the pathophysiologic progression of CKM health metrics abnormalities (comprising obesity, central adiposity, prediabetes, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, CKD, and metabolic syndrome), participants were divided into CKM stages 0, 1, and 2. The time-dependent Cox regression models were used to estimate the cardiovascular risk associated with CKM health metrics and stage. Additionally, broader CVD outcomes were examined, with a specific assessment of the impact of stage 3 in 2581 participants from the CMCS-Beijing subcohort. RESULTS: Among participants, 91.2% (4825/5293) had at least one abnormal CKM health metric, 8.8% (468/5293), 13.3% (704/5293), and 77.9% (4121/5293) were in CKM stages 0, 1, and 2, respectively; and 710 incident CVD cases occurred during a median follow-up time of 13.3 years (interquartile range: 12.1 to 13.6 years). Participants with each poor CKM health metric exhibited significantly higher CVD risk. Compared with stage 0, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) for CVD incidence was 1.31 (0.84-2.04) in stage 1 and 2.27 (1.57-3.28) in stage 2. Significant interactive impacts existed between CKM stage and age or sex, with higher CVD risk related to increased CKM stages in participants aged <60 years or females. CONCLUSION These findings highlight the contribution of CKM health metrics and CKM stage to the long-term risk of CVD, suggesting the importance of multi-component recognition and management of poor CKM health in CVD prevention.

Xiaoaiping (XAP) Injection demonstrates the anti-prostate cancer (PCa) effects, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of XAP on PCa and elucidate its mechanism of action. PCa cell proliferation was evaluated using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed through Hoechst staining and Western blotting assays. Proteomics technology was employed to identify key molecules and significant signaling pathways modulated by XAP in PCa cells. To further validate potential key genes and important pathways, a series of assays were conducted, including acridine orange (AO) staining, transmission electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence assays. The molecular mechanism of XAP against PCa in vivo was examined using a PC3 xenograft mouse model. Results demonstrated that XAP significantly inhibited cell proliferation in multiple PCa cell lines. In C4-2 and prostate cancer cell line-3 (PC3) cells, XAP induced cellular apoptosis, evidenced by reduced B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) levels and elevated Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) levels. Proteomic, immunofluorescence, and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) investigations revealed a strong correlation between forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a) autophagic degradation and the anti-PCa action of XAP. XAP hindered autophagy by reducing the expression levels of autophagy-related protein 5 (Atg5)/autophagy-related protein 12 (Atg12) and enhancing FoxO3a expression and nuclear translocation. Furthermore, XAP exhibited potent anti-PCa action in PC3 xenograft mice and triggered FoxO3a nuclear translocation in tumor tissue. These findings suggest that XAP induces PCa apoptosis via inhibition of FoxO3a autophagic degradation, potentially offering a novel perspective on XAP injection as an effective anticancer therapy for PCa.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of cochlear microphonics (CM) combined with otoacoustic emission (OAE) in patients with auditory neuropathy (AN).Methods:The study included patients who were diagnosed with bilateral AN and had CM originating from both sides. The CM amplitude, latency, duration and intensity-amplitude (I/O) function curve were recorded by CM test. According to whether the distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) passed through, the patients were divided into three groups: bilateral OAE passed group (OAE PP Group), bilateral OAE failed group (OAE RR Group), and unilateral OAE passed through one side failed group (OAE PR Group). OAE was elicited by four or more frequencies of 750-8 000 Hz. The characteristics of CM and its related influencing factors were analyzed, and data were processed and analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software. Results:(1) A total of 256 patients (512 ears) with AN were enrolled, including 161 patients (322 ears) in OAE PP group, 32 patients (64 ears) in OAE PR group and 63 patients (126 ears) in OAE RR group. OAE failed in 30.9% of patients with AN. (2) When the stimulation intensity was 100 dB nHL, the CM amplitude of OAE passing ear (OAE P+CM P group) in AN patients aged 3 years was 0.43±0.17μV, which was significantly higher than that of OAE not passing ear (OAE R+CM P group) (0.29±0.15) μV ( t=4.876， P<0.001). The CM duration of the OAE P+CM P group was (5.18±1.04) ms, which was longer than that of the OAE R+CM P group at 4.60±1.12 ms ( P=0.005). The I/O function curve of OAE P+CM P group showed a nonlinear trend, while, that of OAE R+CM P group showed a linear trend. (3) In the OAE P+CM P group of AN patients, the amplitude of CM was negatively correlated with the onset age, test age, disease course, PTA, and ASSR threshold ( P<0.001), with correlation coefficients of r=-0.475, r=-0.519, r=-0.367, r=-0.374, and r=-0.494, respectively. In the OAE R+CM P group of AN patients, the amplitude of CM was negatively correlated with the onset age, test age, and ASSR threshold ( P<0.05), with correlation coefficients of r=-0.271, r=-0.240, and r=-0.287, respectively. Conclusions:Excluding patients with high-frequency steeply sloping hearing loss, when ABR is absent or abnormal and OAE is absent, CM detection can reduce the rate of missed diagnosis of AN. The analysis of CM amplitude and I/O function curve is helpful to determine the lesion site of AN patients, which is convenient for early diagnosis and effective intervention.
