Objective:To explore the implementation effect of the"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode in the course of laboratory diagnostics under the background of automatic laboratory.Methods:The"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode conducted teaching in course of laboratory diagnostics through carefully designed"anchors",self-directed learning,a second"anchor"placement,and outcome sharing.A total of 224 medical students of the 2021 and 2022 grades,who majored Chinese medicine in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and conducted their internships in the Laboratory of Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from April 2023 to April 2025,were selected.According to different teaching modes,the 108 medical students of 2022 grade were divided into the combined teaching group that adopted the"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode to conduct teaching,and 116 medical students of 2021 grade were divided into the conventional teaching group that adopted conventional teaching mode to conduct teaching.After completed the courses,the comprehensive competency of these students of two groups during the internship were measured,and the application effect of the"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode was assessed by self-made survey questionnaire.Results:The scores of theoretical knowledge test and clinical case analysis assessment of the students of combined teaching group were respectively(44.19±2.36)and(48.20±1.52),all of which were higher than(38.36±2.14)and(37.56±2.47)of conventional teaching group,and the differences of them between two groups were statistically significant(t=28.72,55.71,P<0.05),respectively.In the combined teaching group,91.67%of the students expressed a preference for the"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode.Conclusion:Under the background of automatic laboratory,the"four-step teaching of encouraging and sharing"combined anchor-based teaching mode of laboratory diagnostics can effectively enhance students'transfer ability for knowledge,and strengthen their self-directed learning awareness,and lay a solid foundation for training clinical practice abilities of medical students.

Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (P-ESWL) in treating the chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients with main pancreatic duct (MPD) stones and to analyze the influencing factors of success of lithotripsy.Methods:Clinical data of 132 patients with CP complicated with MPD stones treated with P-ESWL in the Department of Gastroenterology, Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 103 males and 29 females, aged (50.3±16.9) years. The times of P-ESWL, the success rate of stone fragmentation, the necessity of combining endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograhy (ERCP), clearance rate of MPD stones, and incidence of post-P-ESWL complications (acute pancreatitis, abdominal hematoma, infection, steinstrasse, perforation, etc.) were evaluated. The factors influencing the success rate of lithotripsy were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results:All patients underwent P-ESWL treatment, with (2.23±0.82) times of P-ESWL per person. The success rate of stone fragmentation was 87.1%(115/132). Of 107 CP patients (81.1%, 107/132) were treated with their first P-ESWL. Of 12 patients (9.1%, 12/132) underwent single P-ESWL, and 120 (90.9%, 120/132) underwent P-ESWL combined with ERCP. There were 95 cases (72.0%, 95/132) with effective removal of stones, and 62 (47.0%, 62/132) with complete removal of stones. Post-P-ESWL complications included eight cases (6.1%, 8/132) of acute pancreatitis, two (7.6%, 2/132) of steinstrasse complicated with acute pancreatitis and one (0.8%, 1/132) of abdominal hematoma. No infection or perforation occurred. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher CT value of stones ( OR=1.239, 95% CI: 1.040-1.477, P=0.017) was associated with the lower success rate of stone fragmentation. Conclusion:P-ESWL is safe and effective in treating patients with CP complicated with MPD stones. The CT value of stones is a risk factor for the success rate of P-ESWL.

Objective To observe the effects of Qigui Buxue Decoction combined with timed press-needle therapy on myelosuppression and cancer-related fatigue in chemotherapy patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)of lung-spleen qi deficiency type.Methods A total of 124 NSCLC patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type admitted to the Department of Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy at Cangzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in Hebei Province from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table,with 62 cases in each group.Both groups received platinum-based two-drug combination chemotherapy.The control group received timed press-needle therapy in addition to chemotherapy,while the observation group received Qigui Buxue Decoction in addition to the control group's treatment.The treatment course was 3 weeks,with a total of 2 courses.After 2 courses of treatment,changes in blood routine,lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,NK cells),CD4+/CD8+ratio,and the incidence of myelosuppression were observed.Changes in Piper Fatigue Scale and Karnofsky Performance Scale(KPS)scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After treatment,the white blood cell count in the observation group significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in white blood cell count compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,and NK cells in both groups significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these levels compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(3)The incidence of myelosuppression in the observation group was 58.06%(36/62),while it was 77.42%(48/62)in the control group.The incidence of myelosuppression in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the Piper Fatigue Scale scores,including behavioral,emotional,physical,and total scores,significantly improved in both groups(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these scores compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The cognitive scores of the Piper Fatigue Scale showed slight improvement in both groups,but there was no statistically significant difference compared to before treatment(P＞0.05).(5)After treatment,the KPS scores and TCM syndrome scores significantly improved in both groups(P＜0.05),and the observation group showed significantly better improvement in these scores compared to the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Qigui Buxue Decoction combined with timed press-needle therapy can effectively improve myelosuppression,enhance immune function,and alleviate cancer-related fatigue in NSCLC patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type after chemotherapy,thereby improving their quality of life.This approach is worthy of clinical promotion.

This study assessed the role and mechanism of the recombinant Bacillus Calmette-Gue?rin vaccine(rBCG)with c-di-AMP adjuvant in regulating metabolism and immunity in epididymal white adipose(eWAT)in mice.Male C57BL/6 mice were intravenously immunized with BCG and rBCG,and their body weights were monitored.eWAT was isolated from the mice,and the stromal vascular fractions(SVFs)cell number was counted with a hemocytometer.Sections of mouse adipose tissue were prepared,and the size,number,and morphology of eWAT adipocytes and crown-like structure(CLS)formation were compared under a microscope after HE staining.The transcription levels of lipid metabolism-associated factors,cytokines and aging-associated genes in each group were determined with qRT-PCR.The body weights of mice gradually increased after immunization with BCG and rBCG.The proportions of eWAT increased,and the SVFs cell number decreased,in rBCG immunized mice.HE staining indicated that BCG immunization promoted hyperplasia,whereas rBCG immunization promoted hypertrophy of eWAT adipocytes;moreover,both BCG and rBCG immunization induced CLS formation in eWAT.The qRT-PCR results indicated that rBCG immunization inhibited the expression of genes associated with lipolysis and energy expenditure in eWAT.BCG immunization had little effect on cytokine transcription,whereas rBCG significantly induced the transcription of IFN-γ and IL-1Ra,and inhibited that of IL-15 and IL-2,but did not induce the expression of aging-associated genes.Thus,rBCG immunization induced eWAT adipocyte hypertrophy,which was associated with the inhibition of eWAT lipolysis and the regulation of cytokine expression.
