Objective:To construct an indicator system for entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training.Methods:A draft indicator system for EPAs in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric physician training was developed through core EPAs working group discussion, literature review, nominal group discussion, and expert consultation. Subsequently, the indicator system was preliminarily implemented and revised.Results:The core EPAs working group consisted of nine specialist physician trainers. In the initial brainstorming stage, a "potential list" of 30 activities was established. After literature review and collation, the draft indicator system included eight EPAs. Through nominal group discussion, the connotation of the draft was enriched, and the importance of the EPAs was ranked and modified. Finally, through expert consultation, the EPAs for the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training were determined. These included basic operations for the treatment of critically ill children, identification and management of critical illnesses, referral of critically ill children, perioperative management, in-hospital consultation, medical and teaching management and system improvement, doctor-patient communication and dispute handling, and response to public health events. During the preliminary implementation stage, a total of nine specialist physicians who participated in the training were evaluated. Based on the problems found in the pre-evaluation, the indicators of EPAs were revised, and a corresponding curriculum training system was developed.Conclusions:Through multiple rounds of nominal group discussion and expert consultation, the indicator system for EPAs in the general practice enhancement stage of pediatric specialist physician training was formulated. The system was preliminarily implemented and revised, and a curriculum system was constructed.

A mounting body of research suggests that circRNAs significantly contribute to the develop-ment of myocardial fibrosis.The microarray results of human circular RNA expression profile indicated that circHERC4_041 expression increased in the myocardium of patients with heart failure,RT-qPCR a-nalysis confirmed that the myocardial expression level of circHERC4_041 in individuals with heart failure were considerably elevated compared to that in healthy organ donors.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)confirmed that circHERC4_041 was abundant in the cytoplasm of human cardiomyocyte AC16.Overexpression of circHERC4_041 in mouse myocardial fibroblasts(mCFs)mediated by adenovirus in-hibited the expression of fibrosis-related proteins in mCFs.Experiments involving cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell assays demonstrated that overexpression of circHERC4_041 suppressed the growth and mobility of mCFs(P＜0.001).Sequence analysis results suggested that circHERC4_041 con-tains potential ribosome entry sequence(IRES)and open reading frame(ORF).Western blot confirmed that circHERC4_041 could translate the 516 amino acid HERC4-516aa protein,which was mainly located in the cytoplasm of the cell.Cell functional experiments confirmed that circHERC4_041 inhibited the fi-brotic phenotype of mCFs by specifically translating HERC4-516aa(P＜0.05).The specific interaction between HERC4-516aa and transglutaminase 2(TGM2)was confirmed by IP-MS screening and Co-IP i-dentification.Further results found that the degradation of TGM2 was promoted through proteasome path-way.The overexpression of TGM2 in mCFs facilitated by adenoviral vectors could counteract the suppres-sive effects of HERC4-516aa on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs.Therefore,this study confirmed that the HERC4-516aa protein translated by circHERC4_041 can specifically bind to TGM2 to inhibit the fibrotic phenotype of myocardial fibroblasts.

Objective To establish a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of the contents of volatile components muscone,menthol,borneol,isoborneol,camphor,and carvone in Wuli Huichun pills,and to evaluate the quality of Wuli Huichun pills based on authenticity,effectiveness and safety.Methods The ethyl acetate extract was analyzed by HP-5MS capillary column(30 m×0.25 mm,0.25 μm)with temperature programming.The injection port temperature was set at 230℃,and the split ratio was set at 10∶1.The carrier gas was high-purity helium gas.The injection port was in constant flow mode,with a carrier gas flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The detector was a mass spectrometer with a triple quadrupole in series.The ion source was an electron bombardment source(EI)with a temperature of 250℃.The collision gas was argon.The temperature of the mass spectrometry transmission interface was 250℃.Scanning mode was SIM mode,with a solvent delay of 2 minutes.Results The linear relationships of the six components were good(r>0.999 0),the average recoveries were 93.57%-97.96%,and the RSD was 0.73%-2.5%.Conclusion The method is simple,accurate,and efficient,and can be used for the quality evaluation of Wuli Huichun pills.

BackgroundPrenatal depression has an important impact on maternal health and pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies have shown that maternal prenatal depression is associated with social support， and social support is related to fear of childbirth. However， there is limited research on the relationship among maternal prenatal depression， social support and fear of childbirth， and no studies have specifically explored the influence of social support and fear of childbirth on prenatal depression in primiparous women. ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of prenatal depression among primiparous women， and to analyze the correlation between social support and fear of childbirth， and to further explore the influence of social support and fear of childbirth on prenatal depression in this population， so as to provide references for improving their mental health. MethodsA total of 380 primiparous women admitted to the inpatient department of Chengdu Wenjiang District People's Hospital from December 2022 to September 2023 were enrolled as study subjects. A self-made questionnaire， Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale （EPDS）， Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS） and Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire （CAQ） were used to conduct the survey. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the relationships between scale scores. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify influencing factors of prenatal depression. ResultsA total of 380 questionnaires were distributed， with 372 （97.89%） valid responses collected. Among the participants， 222 cases （59.68%） were identified with prenatal depression. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that EPDS score was negatively correlated with SSRS score （r=-0.283， P<0.01） and positively correlated with CAQ score （r=0.341， P<0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that social support （β=-0.166， P<0.01） and fear of childbirth （β=0.269， P<0.01） were influencing factors of prenatal depression in primiparous women. ConclusionThe prevalence of prenatal depression among primiparous women is concerning， with depression levels showing significant associations with both social support and fear of childbirth.

Based on the pharmacokinetics theory, this study investigated the pharmacokinetic characteristics of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, wogonoside, and wogonin in normal and febrile rats and summarized absorption and elimination rules of Dayuanyin in them to provide reference for further development and clinical application of Dayuanyin. Blood samples were taken from the fundus venous plexus of normal and model rats after intragastric administration of Dayuanyin at different time points. The concentration of each substance in blood was determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) technique at different time points. DAS 2.0, a piece of pharmacokinetics software, was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of each component. The results show that the 4 components had good linear relationship in their respective ranges, and the results of methodological investigation met the requirements. The pharmacokinetic parameters of C_(max), T_(max), t_(1/2), AUC_(0-t), AUC_(0-∞), and MRT_(0-t) were calculated by the DAS 2.0 non-compartmental model. Compared with those in the normal group, C_(max) and AUC_(0-t) of the 4 components in the model group were significantly increased. There were significant differences in the pharmacokinetic characteristics between the normal and model groups, suggesting that the absorption and elimination of Dayuanyin may be affected by the changes of internal environment of the body in different physiological states.
