Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）， as one of the three major causes of death， is a complex systemic disease with high prevalence， high mortality， high disability， frequent acute exacerbations， and a variety of pulmonary complications. The pathogenesis is complex. Western medicine has no effective specificity scheme for a complete cure. However， multiple-component and multiple-target characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） demonstrate significant advantages in COPD treatment through multi-link， multi-pathway， and multi-mechanism intervention. Therefore， exploring the essence of COPD pathogenesis and discovering effective TCM treatment drugs through the application of TCM principles and prescriptions is a key focus of modern research. Animal models are of paramount importance in medical research. It is the first consideration to select appropriate animals， adopt reasonable modeling methods to replicate stable animal models that closely resemble the clinical manifestations and pathophysiological characteristics of COPD， and use appropriate evaluation methods to determine the success of COPD animal models in experimental research. The core of experimental research lies in observing the intervention effect of TCM on COPD animal models， exploring the specific pathways and regulatory mechanisms of TCM on COPD disease， and finding TCM monomers， single herbs， and TCM formulas with definite curative effects. At present， animal model research on COPD mainly involves model establishment， model evaluation， efficacy observation， mechanism exploration， and other aspects. In recent years， there has been no systematic organization， update， and reflection on the relevant research on TCM intervention in COPD animal models. This study reviewed the selection of animals for the COPD model， methods for establishing COPD animal models， model evaluation methods， and the intervention effects of TCM on COPD animal models. It aims to grasp the current research status and identify existing problems for further improvement， in order to provide evidence and support for scientific research and clinical treatment of COPD.

Objective:To investigate the application value of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient teaching in the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns.Methods:A total of 110 clinical medicine interns were selected from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and were divided into experimental group and control group using a random number table, with 55 interns in each group. The interns in the control group received traditional lecturing, and those in the experimental group received scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching. The SEGUE Communication Skill Evaluation Scale and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the improvement in communication skills in both groups, and Physician Self-Evaluation Scale and Course Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the effectiveness of the course and the degree of satisfaction with the course. SPSS 26.0 was used for the t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the rank sum test. Results:After training, both groups showed significant improvements in communication skills and patient satisfaction [experimental group in terms of communication skills: (55.38±13.11) vs. (74.82±6.75), P<0.001; experimental group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 81.00 (79.00, 83.00), P<0.01; control group in terms of communication skills: (56.53±12.34) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; control group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001], and the experimental group had significantly higher scores than the control group [communication skills: (74.82±6.75) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; patient satisfaction: 81.00 (79.00, 83.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001]. The Physician Self-Evaluation Scale showed that the experimental group had a significant improvement compared with the control group ( P<0.05). The results of the Course Satisfaction Questionnaire showed that the degree of overall satisfaction of the course was only 87.28% in the control group, while all the interns in the experimental group were satisfied with the course ( P<0.001); the new teaching method showed great advantages ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns, the application of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching can significantly improve their abilities of the application of knowledge application, humanistic concern, and communication skills, and therefore, it is an effective and promising method for the training of doctor-patient communication skills.

Objective Jiedu Tongluo Tiaogan Formula(JTTF)is an effective formula for the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).We used integrated pharmacology and in vitro experiments to explore the molecular mechanism of JTTF to improve insulin resistance(IR)in T2DM.Methods The drug targets of JTTF were obtained by identifying the key active ingredients of JTTF through UPLC-Q-TOF-MS.Multiple databases such as GeneCards,OMIM,and DrugBank were used to screen T2DM-IR related targets.Cytoscape software and String 11.0 database were used to construct the PPI network diagram of JTTF for T2DM-IR.GO and KEGG analyses were performed according to the Metascape platform to find the biological pathways related to the target proteins.AutoDock Tools software was used to simulate molecular docking.In vitro experiments were performed using palmitic acid(PA)-induced HepG2-IR cell model to detect the effect of JTTF on HepG2-IR.Results 28 effective active components of JTTF were screened.There were 857 gene targets of T2DM-IR,and 168 targets of drug-disease intersection.387 GO entries and 145 KEGG pathways were enriched.The molecular docking results showed that the main components of JTTF had good binding activities with PI3K and AKT-related proteins.The in vitro results showed that JTTF significantly alleviated PA-induced HepG2 cell injury,increased HepG2 glucose consumption,increased PI3K and AKT mRNA and protein expression,regulated the expression of GLUT2,GLUT4 and GSK3β,and improved cellular IR.Conclusion JTTF increases insulin sensitivity of HepG2-IR cells,promotes glucose uptake and intracellular glucose metabolism process,and its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of PI3K/AKT signalling pathway.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）， as a chronic respiratory disease that can be prevented and intervened but cannot be completely cured， has increasing incidence and mortality rates year by year， often complicated by one or more comorbidities. However， there is currently no specific treatment available. Therefore， the healthcare issues related to COPD are urgent and prominent. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） delays the progression of COPD through multiple mechanisms， pathways， and targets. As a result， exploring the pathogenesis of COPD and identifying TCM treatment approaches and effective prescriptions are key issues that urgently need to be addressed in clinical practice. In TCM， COPD is categorized into syndromes such as "cough"， "asthma"， and "lung distension". It is believed that the deficiency in the origin runs through the entire disease. When external pathogens invade， Qi becomes disordered， and phlegm and blood stasis begin to accumulate， leading to an excess condition in the manifestation. Modern medicine research on the pathogenesis of COPD mainly involves aspects such as inflammatory response， oxidative stress， autophagy imbalance， and aging. Studies have found that Chinese medicine monomers， single herbs， and compound prescriptions can improve COPD by inhibiting inflammation， reducing oxidative damage， correcting autophagy， and delaying aging. However， there is no study that intuitively organizes the various pathogenesis mechanisms of COPD and their interrelationships. At the same time， research on the therapeutic effects of TCM on COPD primarily focuses on exploring a single mechanism or pathway， without integrating multiple mechanisms， pathways， and targets. Additionally， there are very few studies that summarize the corresponding relationships between the various pathogenesis mechanisms of COPD and the regulatory effects and signaling pathways of Chinese medicine. This study， for the first time， combines the latest literature in China and abroad to explain the various pathogenesis mechanisms of COPD and their interrelationships using a combination of graphs， text， and tables. It also outlines the signaling pathways， targets， and mechanisms of Chinese medicine monomers， single herbs， and compound prescriptions in regulating COPD， in order to provide new ideas and strategies for the in-depth research and systematic treatment of COPD with TCM.

Objective To explore the correlation between the expression of serum human leukocyte antigen B27(HLA-B27) and serum amyloid A(SAA) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and the severity of the disease and the infection of other pulmonary pathogens. Methods From September 2021 to September 2023,120 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary infection in Beijing Ditan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected as the research group,and another 120 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were selected as the control group. According to the pneumonia severity index (PSI),the study group patients were divided into low-risk group (n=47),medium risk group (n=42) and high-risk group (n=31). Collected patient sputum for pathogen detection. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to measure the expression levels of HLA-B27 and SAA in serum. Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors that affected the severity of pulmonary tuberculosis combined with pulmonary infection in patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of serum HLA-B27 and SAA for the severity of pulmonary tuberculosis combined with pulmonary infection in patients. Results Compared with the control group,the positive rate of serum HLA-B27(72.50％ vs 19.17％)in the study group,expression level of SAA (9.32±2.32 ng/ml vs 4.64±1.04 ng/ml)were significantly increased,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=68.744,t=20.164,all P<0.05). A total of 84 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated by the research group,including 46 Gram negative bacteria,34 Gram positive bacteria,and 4 fungi,with Klebsiella pneumoniae accounting for the highest proportion (15.48％). Compared with the low-risk group,the positive rate of HLA-B27(76.19％,93.55％ vs 55.32％),the expression level of SAA(9.35±2.35ng/ml,10.94±2.42ng/ml vs 8.23±2.23ng/ml)and the PSI score(108.63±12.47score,145.93±12.44 score vs 54.48±17.31 score) in the middle-risk group and the severe-risk group were significantly higher,and the differences were statistically significant (x2=4.256,13.130,t=2.306,5.077;15.021,25.384,all P<0.05). Serum HLA-B27 and SAA levels in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary infection were positively correlated with PSI score (r=0.385,0.522,all P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that HLA-B27 positivity and SAA were risk factors affecting the severity of pulmonary tuberculosis combined with pulmonary infection in patients (P<0.05). The combined diagnosis of serum HLA-B27 and SAA had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for the severity of pulmonary infection in patients,which was superior to the individual diagnosis of serum HLA-B27 and elevated SAA expression levels (Z=3.132,2.131,P=0.002,0.033). Conclusion The pathogenic bacteria in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary infection are mainly Gram negative bacteria. The increases in serum HLA-B27 positive rate and SAA expression level are closely related to the disease progression in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary infection. The combination of the two can better diagnose the severity of the disease in patients with pulmonary infection.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.
