AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulation system as a training platform for fundus examination skills of general practitioner.METHODS:Prospective randomized study. A total of 40 general practitioners who received clinical ophthalmology training at Shenzhen Eye Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups by random number table method, with 20 cases in the study group and 20 cases in the control group. The study group was trained by EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulation system and the control group was trained by conventional teaching. Training effects of the two groups were analyzed.RESULTS: The general information of the two groups was comparable. Through training with the EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulator, the study group showed significant improvements in total examination and drawing scores compared to pre-training results(all P<0.001). Additionally, examination duration, retinal light exposure time, and drawing time were all significantly shorter than those before training(all P<0.001).The study group achieved significantly higher total examination and drawing scores than the control group during the EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulator assessment(all P<0.001). Furthermore, examination duration, retinal light exposure time, and drawing time were all significantly shorter in the study group compared to the control group(all P<0.001). Moreover, ratings for the novelty of the training method and overall satisfaction with the training were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group(all P<0.001); while the perceived psychological stress during training was significantly lower in the study group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION:The EYESI binocular indirect ophthalmoscope simulaton system effectively enhances both the proficiency in fundus examination skills and overall training satisfaction among general practitioners.

Objective:
To investigate the aberrant alterations of microRNAs ( miRNAs) in exosomes derived from bone marrow stromal cells ( BMSCs) in the bone marrow supernatants of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their impact on the prognosis of AML patients .
Methods:
Bone marrow supernatant samples were col- lected from three AML patients and three healthy donors . Exosomes were isolated using a commercial kit , identif- ying the morphology and marker expression , and subjected to miRNA sequencing to determine differentially ex- pressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) . The DE-miRNAs were then intersected with the exosomal miRNA expression pro- files of primary AML cells (GSE64029) to exclude AML cell - derived signals and to identify BMSC-derived DE - miRNAs . Subsequently , candidate miRNAs were identified through Cox regression and Lasso regression analyses based on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) . A prognostic risk model for AML was constructed , and pa- tients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the median risk score . The prognostic value and clinical relevance of the model were further validated . Finally , the target genes of the candidate miRNAs were pre- dicted , followed by pathway enrichment analysis , construction of key regulatory networks , and correlation analysis between the expression levels of key miRNAs and their corresponding target genes .
Results:
Isolated exosomes ex- hibited a typical cup-shaped morphology with intact structures with particle size of 30 - 150 nm , and expressed exo- somal markers CD63 , ALIX , and TSG101 . miRNA sequencing identified 103 DE-miRNAs in AML patients com- pared with healthy donors; after intersection with the GSE64029 dataset , 83 BMSC-derived DE-miRNAs were re- tained . Among these , five candidate miRNAs ( miR-25-3p , miR-532-5p , miR-194-5p , miR-10a-5p , and miR- 20a-5p) were used to construct the prognostic model . Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated significantly lon- ger overall survival in the low-risk group compared with the high-risk group (P < 0. 05) . The areas under the ROC curve for the training/validation cohorts were 0. 80/0. 74 , 0. 80/0. 78 , and 0. 79/0. 64 at 1 , 2 , and 3 years , re- spectively . The prognostic model was significantly associated with risk stratification , patient age , and FAB classifi- cation (P < 0. 05) . KEGG pathway enrichment revealed that target genes of the candidate miRNAs were closely linked to cancer-related signaling pathways , including hepatocellular carcinoma , breast cancer , and non-small cell lung cancer. Correlation analysis indicated that the candidate miRNAs were significantly associated with key genes such as HIF1A , CREB1 , PIK3CA , IGF1R , PIK3R1 , TIAM1 , CRK , and PTEN (P < 0. 05) .
Conclusion
AML patients exhibit distinct miRNA expression profiles in BMSC-derived exosomes . A five-miRNA signature ( miR-25 - 3p , miR-532-5p , miR-194-5p , miR-10a-5p , and miR-20a-5p) demonstrates robust prognostic performance , sup- porting its potential clinical utility in risk stratification and outcome prediction for AML.

Objective:Using the classical concept analysis method of Avant & Walker, this paper made an in-depth analysis of the concept of childbirth trauma, obtained its operational definition, and provided a reference for clinical practice.Methods:We systematically searched CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, SinoMed, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase, and the retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to August 10, 2022. We analyzed and defined childbirth trauma by Avant & Walker's classical concept analysis.Results:A total of 34 articles were included. The defining attributes of childbirth trauma were identified as persistent psychological trauma, lack of social support, loss of control, impaired dignity, and poor interaction with care providers. The antecedents could be discussed from demographic factors and disease history, obstetric nurses and midwives, and delivery environment. Consequences included affected women's physiology, behavior, and psychology.Conclusions:Birth trauma has brought lasting negative consequences to women's lives and families. Medical staff should recognize its severity, identify birth trauma in clinical practice with the help of the concept of birth trauma and operational definition, find it early, and effectively prevent it.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused global public health and economic crises. Thus, new therapeutic strategies and effective vaccines are urgently needed to cope with this severe pandemic. The development of a broadly neutralizing antibody against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is one of the attractive treatment strategies for COVID-19. Currently, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein is the main target of neutralizing antibodies when SARS-CoV-2 enters human cells through an interaction between the S protein and the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expressed on various human cells. A single monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment is prone to selective pressure due to increased possibility of targeted epitope mutation, leading to viral escape. In addition, the antibody-dependent enhancement effect is a potential risk of enhancing the viral infection. These risks can be reduced using multiple mAbs that target nonoverlapping epitopes. Thus, a cocktail therapy combining two or more antibodies that recognize different regions of the viral surface may be the most effective therapeutic strategy.

Objective To analyze the changes of perioperative thyroid hormone in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, and to provide guidance for postoperative cardiac management. Methods The clinical data of 72 patients receiving cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass in our hospital from January to May 2019 were collected, including 35 males and 37 females, aged 19-72 (52.35±10.40) years. The changes of thyroid hormones before operation, 2 hours and 24 hours after operation were analyzed. Results There was a statistical difference in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4) and free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) between postoperative 2 hours and preoperation (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in TSH, T3, free triiodothyronine (FT3), T4 and FT4 between postoperative 24 hours and preoperation (P<0.05). There was a statistical difference in TSH, T3, FT3 and T4 between postoperative 24 hours and 2 hours (P<0.05). Postoperatively T3 and FT3
decreased, TSH increased and then decreased while T4 and FT4 were within the normal range. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed a statistical difference of time effect in TSH, T3, FT3, T4 and FT4. Conclusion Patients with cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass have different thyroid hormones postoperatively compared with preoperatively. T3 and FT3 decrease, TSH increases and then decreases, while T4 and FT4 are in the normal range. The results require further large-scale, multi-center, high-quality clinical studies to be confirmed.

A Survey on the current general practice residency training was carried out in January 2018 among 1 114 general practitioners (GPs) who attended the standardized residency training program during 2014-2017. Basic information was obtained from the management department, other information was obtained from questionnaire. Total 1089 valid questionnaires were received with a retrieval rate of 97.8%. The survey showed that the ratios of male trainees, trainees aged 20-30 years and with bachelor degree were increasing during 2014-2017. The participants were more satisfied with the teaching quality in general hospital bases than that in community practice bases. Participants suggested to improve teaching quality, add teaching contents of humanity courses and TCM knowledge. Only14.4%(157/1 089) participants choose GPs as their career because liked this specialty. And 77.7%(846/1 089) GPs understood the main work of GP. There were 81.4%(887/1 089) participants wanted to work in; 77.7%(846/1 089) participants thought that the prospect of general practice would be excellent or good. Increasing income, professional promotion and a sense of social recognition were their wishes. Standardized residency training is crucial for general practitioners to upgrade their quality and competence, to improve training quality and to develop incentive policies are necessary.

Colorectal cancer is caused by the interaction of genetic and environment factors. Domestic and foreign scholars have attempted to develop several colorectal cancer risk prediction models, in order to identity risk factors, to screen for high risk population and evaluate the risk of developing colorectal cancer, so as to provide personalized screening protocols for individuals with different risk, and eventually reduce the incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer. Currently, the common colorectal cancer risk prediction models were mainly developed based on case-control study and cohort study. Models developed in European and American regions and Asia (excluding China) only include common risk factors, while Chinese models also include hereditary factors on the bases of common risk factors. However, the development and verification of each model are mainly based on local population, whether it can be applied for other population need to be determined. This article reviews the development, validation and evaluation of the risk prediction models, in order to provide a basis for developing more precise risk prediction models for colorectal cancer.
