Chinese Medical Ethics 2026;39(7):867-872
ObjectiveTo investigate medical students’ understanding of the essence of “red doctor spirit, characterized by political firmness, technical excellence, selfless dedication, healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, working hard, and daring to innovate,” their identification with the community connotations embodied in “red doctor spirit,” and the main issues existing in the process of “red doctor spirit” strengthening medical students’ sense of community for the Chinese nation, therefore providing references for cultivating medical talents with a cohesive sense of community for the Chinese nation. MethodsA self-designed and validated Questionnaire on the Cognition of Red Doctor Spirit in Strengthening Medical Students’ Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation was employed, and students from four grades and multiple majors at Xinjiang Medical University were selected as the research subjects. ResultsRegarding the understanding of “red doctor spirit,” no differences were found among medical students of different grades or political affiliations (P>0.05), while differences were observed based on gender and major (P<0.05). In terms of identification with community connotations embodied in “red doctor spirit,” no differences were noted among students of different grades, political affiliations, genders, or majors (P>0.05). The lack of practical education was identified as the primary issue affecting “red doctor spirit” in strengthening medical students’ sense of community for the Chinese nation. ConclusionMedical colleges and universities should enhance the concept of “red doctor spirit” in strengthening medical students’ sense of community for the Chinese nation, explore its collaborative education model, strengthen its practical activities, and optimize the campus cultural environment, thereby fully leveraging the role of the “red doctor spirit” in forging a sense of community for the Chinese nation among medical students.

Emerging evidence suggests that dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. The microbiota-gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in the development and progression of PD, and numerous studies have demonstrated the potential therapeutic benefits of modulations in the intestinal microbiota. This review provides insights into the characterization of the gut microbiota in patients with PD and highlights associations with clinical symptoms and underlying mechanisms. The discussion underscores the increased influence of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of PD. While the relationship is not fully elucidated, existing research demonstrates a strong correlation between changes in the composition of gut microbiota and disease development, and further investigation is warranted to explain the specific underlying mechanisms.

Objective :
To analyze the difference of urinary iodine level in Hashimoto thyroiditis ( HT) patients, and to explore the possible relationship between urinary iodine level and HT under different iodine nutritional sta- tus,so as to provide some references for reasonable iodine intake in HT patients.
Methods :
A total of 101 hospi- talized HT patients were selected as HT group and divided into 3 groups according to thyroid function : HT group with hyperthyroidism (41 cases) .There were 25 cases in HT group with normal thyroid function.There were 35 cases in HT combined with hypothyroidism group.In addition,30 healthy subjects were selected as control group. Serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) ,triiodothyronine(T3 ) ,thyroxine (T4 ) ,thyroid peroxidase an- tibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (ATG) were detected by chemiluminescence assay.The size and mor- phological structure of thyroid organs were examined by ultrasonography.Urinary iodine was determined by catalytic spectrophotometry with arsenic and cerium.The nutritional status of iodine was classified into iodine deficiency ( < 100 μg/ L) ,iodine adequacy( 100 -199 μg/ L) ,iodine adequacy (200 -299 μg/ L) and iodine excess ( ≥ 300 μg/ L) .Non-parametric test was used to compare urinary iodine level between HT group and control group,one- way ANOVA and t test were used to compare urinary iodine level between HT group and control group ,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare the correlation between urinary iodine level and T3 ,T4 ,TSH, ATG and TPOAb under different iodine nutrition status.
Results :
Compared with control group,ATG and TPOAb levels in HT group increased (P<0. 001) ,and urinary iodine levels increased (P<0. 05) ,with statistical signifi- cance.Compared with the control group in different thyroid function states,only the HT group with hypothyroidism increased the urinary iodine level (P<0. 01) ,and the difference was statistically significant.Spearman correlation analysis showed that urine iodine level was positively correlated with ATG and TPOAb levels in iodine excess condi- tion (P<0. 05) ,and urine iodine level was positively correlated with TSH level in iodine sufficient condition and iodine excess condition in HT patients (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
The urinary iodine level of HT patients was high- er than that of normal people.When the urinary iodine level of residents is ≥ 300 μg/ L,iodine intake is prone to HT.When the urinary iodine level of HT patients is ≥ 200 μg/ L,iodine consumption is prone to hypothyroidism, and iodine intake should be limited.

Objective:To analyze the predictive factors of autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation and tentatively discuss the intervention timing of assisted maturation.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The data of patients with newly established AVF and regular follow-up in Haidian Hospital, the Third Hospital of Peking University from August 1, 2018 to March 31, 2022 were analyzed. The patients were divided into mature group and immature group based on whether they met clinical maturity or ultrasonic maturity criteria 3 months after AVF establishment.The general data, preoperative laboratory examination and postoperative ultrasonic examination parameters were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the related factors of AVF maturation, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of each factor for AVF maturation and intervention timing.Results:A total of 568 patients were included, with age of (56.86±13.82) years old, 339 males (59.68%), and 229 females (40.32%). There were 380 patients in the maturation group and 188 patients in the immature group. The total rate of AVF maturation was 66.90% (380/568). The anastomosis diameter ( t=9.732, P < 0.001), ln(anastomosis artery diameter)( t=10.116, P < 0.001), anastomosis vein diameter ( t=13.961, P < 0.001), ln(brachial artery diameter)( t=9.362, P < 0.001) and brachial artery blood flow ( t=16.542, P < 0.001) of postoperation one month, and anastomosis diameter ( t=7.356, P < 0.001), anastomosis artery diameter ( t=11.117, P < 0.001), anastomosis vein diameter ( t=12.332, P < 0.001), ln(brachial artery diameter) ( t=7.956, P < 0.001) and brachial artery blood flow ( t=13.803, P < 0.001) of postoperation three months in the mature group were significantly higher than those in the immature group. Logistic regression analysis models showed anastomosis vein diameter at 1 month after surgery ( OR=0.577, 95% CI 0.342-0.975, P=0.040), brachial arterial blood flow at 1 month after surgery ( OR=0.988, 95% CI 0.996-1.000, P=0.043) and brachial arterial blood flow at 3 months after surgery ( OR=0.997, 95% CI 0.995-0.999, P=0.002) were the independent relevant factors of AVF maturation. When the anastomosis vein diameter ≥ 3.90 mm at 1 month after AVF surgery ( AUC=0.842, 95% CI 0.809-0.871, P < 0.001), the blood flow of brachial artery ≥ 446.90 ml/min at 1 month after AVF surgery ( AUC=0.880, 95% CI 0.850-0.906, P < 0.001), the critical value of the combined index of anastomotic vein diameter and blood flow of brachial artery at 1 month after fitting ≥ 0.44 ( AUC=0.889, 95% CI 0.860-0.914, P < 0.001) and brachial arterial blood flow ≥ 595.00 ml/min ( AUC=0.857, 95% CI 0.822-0.888, P < 0.001), the unassisted maturation of AVF could be predicted. Conclusions:The anastomosis vein diameter ≥ 3.90 mm at 1 month after AVF surgery, and the blood flow of brachial artery ≥ 446.90 ml/min at 3 months after AVF surgery, or the critical value of combined index of both after fitting ≥ 0.44 can predict the unassisted maturation of AVF, and one month after surgery may be the opportunity for early intervention to promote maturation.

Objective:To explore the application of of virtual surgical planning combined with intraoperative navigation in the accurate resection of maxillary tumor and simultaneous reconstruction.Methods:From October 2015 to December 2016, the patients with maxillary tumor treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in this study. Before the surgery, the virtual surgical planning was used to complete tumor identification, virtual tumor resection, fibula reconstruction, and then stereomodel was printed for the fabrication of fibular osteotomy guide plate and prebent of personalized titanium mesh. During the operation, navigation technology was used to determine the position of the designed osteotomy line for the accurate resection of maxillary tumor. The bone defect reconstruction was performed using fibular flap guided by osteotomy plate and prebent personalized titanium mesh. Histopathological examination was conducted to evaluate the safety of the surgical boundary. The postoperative color gradient map, self evaluation of facial appearance satisfaction, mouth opening degree and jaw vertical distance were used to evaluate the reconstruction of maxillary defects.Results:A total of 5 patients were enrolled in this study, 3 males and 2 females, with a median age of 39 years old (ranged 27 to 50). Among these cases, 2 were benign tumors and 3 were malignant. The operation of 5 cases was successful and all the fibular flaps were survived. There were 27 frozen pathological examinations, 25 were negative. One patient was treated with both adjuvant biological therapy and radiotherapy. Two patients were treated with only radiotherapy. The color gradient map showed that the position of fibular flap was highly consistent with the pre-operative surgical design. Four patients reported their facial appearance were excellent and one was good postoperatively. The mouth opening degree of the patients was 2.8-3.2 cm. The vertical jaw distance between mandible and fibula repair area was 6.5-10.0 mm. After 14-28 months follow-up, one patient with positive surgical boundary had local recurrence.Conclusions:Virtual surgical planning combined with simultaneous intraoperative navigation can improve the accuracy of maxillary tumor resection and reconstruction, and so as to improve the the quality of life of patients after surgery.
