OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review concerning the safety of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) before gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS Chinese and English databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, and PubMed were searched to collect systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the safety of using GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy, with a search period from the inception to September 30, 2025. Report quality, methodological quality, risk of bias, and evidence quality were assessed using the PRISMA 2020 statement, AMSTAR 2 scale, ROBIS tool, and GRADE tool, respectively. Corrected covered area (CCA) was used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of outcome overlap, and a comprehensive quality analysis was performed on the quantitative results of systematic reviews/meta-analyses. RESULTS Ten studies were included. All 10 stu dies had some information deficiencies (15.5-19.5 points), and were at high risk of bias; 9 studies were extremely low methodological quality, while 1 study was low. In terms of evidence quality, among 88 outcome indexes, there was 1 moderate-level index, 28 low-level indexes, and 59 extremely low-level indexes. The CCA values of the incidence of residual gastric contents, aspiration, endoscopy interruption, repeated endoscopy, inadequate bowel preparation and Boston Bowel Preparation Scale scores were 37.30%, 35.00%, 35.00%, 50.00%, 29.60% and 20.00%, respectively. Results of comprehensive quality analysis showed that compared with the control group, the incidence of residual gastric contents, endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy were increased significantly in the intervention group, along with a notably prolonged gastric emptying time and a significantly lower score of Boston Bowel Preparation Scale ( P <0.05). However, the study results regarding the effects of GLP-1RA on the incidence of aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation were inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS The use of GLP-1RA before gastrointestinal endoscopy can increase certain safety risks, including residual gastric contents, endoscopy interruption and repeated endoscopy, prolong gastric emptying time, and reduce the quality of bowel preparation. However, the effects on aspiration and inadequate bowel preparation remain controversial. The reports included in systematic reviews/meta-analyses exhibited low quality in reporting, methodology and evidence, with high risk of bias. Therefore, conclusions should be interpreted with caution.

Objective:To investigate the promoting effect of individualized instruction combined with a blended learning model (IIBLM) in continuing training of neurology.Methods:A total of 93 trainees who received continuing training in Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from August 2022 to December 2024 were enrolled as subjects. The 50 trainees registered since January 2024 were enrolled as observation group and received IIBLM teaching, including sub-specialty modular training, a cycle-adaptive cultivation system, a "mutual-selection" mentorship program, an on/off-line dual-track curriculum system, a dynamic course allocation mechanism based on "mutual selection", and a competency growth evaluation system, while the 43 trainees registered before January 2024 were enrolled as control group and received traditional teaching. A questionnaire survey and comprehensive competency assessments were performed to evaluate the effect of teaching, and the t-test, the chi-square test, and the qualitative analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed systematic improvements in clinical contents, theoretical curriculum, faculty competency, and workflow arrangement during continuing training, with a significant difference in the score of workflow arrangement between the two groups [(9.58±0.67) vs. (9.07±1.44), t=-2.13, P=0.037]. The observation group had a score of (97.70±1.30) for dynamic course allocation, an overall satisfaction rate of 97.15%, and a course benefit rate of 97.55%. The qualitative analysis showed that the trainees in the control group mainly complained of course monotony, while those in the observation group expected to enhance interdisciplinary integration and the cultivation of scientific research abilities. In addition, the results of competency assessment showed a continuous improvement in teaching effect after reform, with no significant difference. Conclusions:IIBLM teaching effectively enhances professional qualities, clinical competency, and the degree of satisfaction with courses among the trainees receiving continuing training, and it also revealed the necessity of interdisciplinary collaborative teaching and the integration of research and clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the job preference and willingness to pay of resident training physicians in Chengdu, China.Methods:The questionnaire was designed by means of the discrete choice experiment. The questionnaire contains the basic information of the survey object and the discrete choice set (including workplace, working intensity, monthly salary, staffing of public institution, and career development, each with several levels). A total of 116 resident training physicians recruited by three standardized residents training centers in Chengdu were selected to conduct the questionnaire survey, and grouped based on their identity and major. The mixed logit model was used to analyze job preferences and willingness to pay of resident training physicians.Results:Except for career development, other four attributes had statistically significant effects on job selection of resident training physicians ( P<0.05), of which working intensity was the most influential attribute, with the highest willingness to pay. The subgroup analysis results showed that staffing of public institution was concerned by clinical postgraduates and resident training physicians in non-scarce majors. Conclusions:Economic and non-economic factors both affect the job preferences of resident training physicians, while working intensity is the most important factor. Resident training policy should focus on adjusting the scale and type of resident physician enrollment, and strengthen humanistic care and career education of resident training physicians.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoperative oral carbohydrate intake on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in elderly patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. One hundred elderly patients, aged≥65 yr, with a body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, with American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, who underwent gynecological laparoscopic surgery at the Baoding First Central Hospital from March 2023 to June 2024, were selected. Stratification was conducted by age (65-74 yr/≥75 yr) using an online randomization tool, and the patients were randomly divided into conventional fasting group (group C) and oral carbohydrate group (group P), with 50 cases in each group. Patients took oral carbohydrate drinks of 4 ml/kg at 2 h before operation, with total amount ≤400 ml in group P, while patients received conventional preoperative fasting protocols in group C. The occurrence and severity of PONV within 48 h postoperatively were observed. The visual analogue scale scores for hunger and thirst, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale scores, length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit, duration of hospital stay, time to first flatus, time to first ambulation, and patient′s satisfaction were recorded in the two groups. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence and severity of PONV were significantly decreased within 48 h after surgery, the visual analogue scale scores for hunger and thirst and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scale scores were significantly decreased after entering the operating room, the length of stay in the postanesthesia care unit, time to first flatus and time to first ambulation were significantly shortened, and the patient′s satisfaction was significantly increased in group P ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Oral carbohydrate intake before operation can effectively reduce the occurrence and severity of PONV and improve the quality of postoperative recovery in elderly patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between artificial radionuclide 137Cs and stable cesium (Cs) in wild edible fungi and seek potential correlations. Methods:A total of 30 samples, including the caps (with gills) and stipes of wild edible fungi, were collected from the northeastern region of China. The measurement and analysis of 137Cs were conducted following recommended procedures in GB/T 16145-2022, and stable Cs was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Then, the correlation analysis of data on 137Cs and stable Cs was performed using SPSS 11.5 software, and scatter plots were prepared using the Origin 21.0 software. Results:The fungi caps exhibited a specific activity of 137Cs ranging from 0.52 to 55.9 Bq/kg (dry weight) and a stable Cs content from 0.069 mg/kg to 16.2 mg/kg (dry weight). The stipes showed a specific activity of 137Cs ranging from 0.53 Bq/kg to 101 Bq/kg (dry weight) and a stable Cs content from 0.075 to 11.5 mg/kg (dry weight). These data revealed a significant correlation between the specific activity of 137Cs and the stable cesium content in all samples including caps and stipes, with correlation coefficients r of 0.956, 0.912, and 0.931, respectively, and all significant levels P < 0.01. The ratios of the specific activity of 137Cs to stable Cs content varied from 2.09 Bq/kg to 20.1 Bq/kg (dry weight), with an average of 10.7 Bq/kg (dry weight). Conclusions:Wild edible fungi fail to distinguish between 137Cs and stable cesium when absorbing Cs elements from their growing substrates. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between the specific activity of 137Cs and stable Cs content. In the case of exogenous 137Cs contamination, the ratio of the specific activity of 137Cs and stable Cs content will significantly change. Therefore, an increase in the ratio can be used as a reference for identifying 137Cs contamination events.

Objective:To explore the applicability of critical statistical measures Z, Z′, Zeta ( ζ), and En value in comparative capability assessments by analyzing the data from nationwide radiological health technology institutions from 2020 to 2023, aiming to provide a reference for further improving China′s comparative assessment method for verifying the γ-ray spectroscopy capability of radionuclides. Methods:Based on the nationwide analysis and comparison of γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides conducted annually by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, China CDC, the deviations between laboratory result and reference values were determined using the above-mentioned four statistical measures. Finally, the qualification rates of the γ-ray spectroscopy result from relevant institutions were assessed and analyzed.Results:The result indicate that the qualification rates of the Z value exceeded 85%, which might be inaccurate in some cases since it ignored the limitation of uncertainty. In contrast, the Z′ value yielded more scientific and representative result because it considered the uncertainty of reference values, and the inter-laboratory comparison qualification rate is above 95%. In the case of low uncertainty of the γ-ray spectroscopy result, the Zeta ( ζ) or En ratio exhibited relatively high sensitivity and, accordingly, relatively low qualification rates, indicating that this ratio may not comprehensively reflect the interlaboratory comparison result. Conclusions:The Z, Z′, Zeta ( ζ), and En values demonstrate their own advantages and limitations in assessing the capability of the γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides. For comparison projects involving multiple laboratories and complex measurement conditions, such as the nationwide verification of the capabilities of the γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides, it is feasible to combine the Z′ value with the Zeta ( ζ) or En ratio, with the former and the latter used to determine the qualified and excellent capability result, respectively. This enables the comprehensive assessment of the measurement and analysis capabilities of the γ-ray spectroscopy laboratories of radiological health technology institutions in China.

Chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)is a chronic gastric disorder characterized by recurrent damage to the gastric mucosal epithelium,resulting in the reduction of intrinsic glands,with or without concurrent intestinal metaplasia.The"hyperactive stomach qi"theory,derived from Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen Ji Zhu,proposes that the core pathogenesis of CAG lies in excessive stomach qi activity,grounded in the physiological principle of"strong yang qi in earth and weak yin qi in earth".This theory synthesizes the clinical manifestations and pathological progression of CAG,asserting that its development often involves intertwined pathological factors such as stagnation,dryness-heat,phlegm-dampness and stasis-toxicity.A triphasic therapeutic framework is proposed:the spleen qi deficiency phase,marked by impaired spleen transport function and dysregulated qi-fluid distribution,requiring spleen fortification and qi-fluid regulation;the hyperactive stomach qi phase,characterized by intensified stomach qi activity coupled with dryness-damp stagnation,necessitating stagnation resolution,dampness elimination and yin nourishment;the decline and disorder of middle qi phase,characterized by the deficiency of the middle qi,with phlegm,blood stasis and toxins forming the terminal stage.Treatment should focus on reinforcing the middle and restoring balance,detoxifying and dissipating accumulation.By exploring CAG pathogenesis and treatment through the lens of"hyperactive stomach qi",this study aimed to provide novel theoretical insights and therapeutic strategies for TCM in the prevention and treatment of CAG.
