In this study, we proposed an idea on systematic construction and optimization of a clinical coaching teacher qualification access system in Peking University Third Hospital by combining lean thinking and the Six Sigma methodology and following the steps of definition, measurement, analysis, improvement, and control. Based on the constructivism theory, the clinical coaching teacher qualification access system is divided into two progressive sessions: access to clinical coaching qualifications and access to theoretical teaching qualifications. By analyzing the appraisal data of clinical coaching teacher qualification access in the past 10 years, we revealed the data characteristics of pass rates of clinical coaching qualifications to determine the goal for dynamic improvement. On top of this analysis, we identified measures to maintain a stable pass rate of clinical coaching teacher qualification access, optimized the development direction and path of the clinical coaching teacher qualification access, and continuously promoted the teaching ability of teachers through the coordinated implementation of different systems and measures. In our research, we expanded the administrative scope of the access system, sorted out the objectives and paths of the system improvement, and provided a practical reference for constructing a clinical coaching teacher qualification access system and promoting the construction of teaching quality standardization in university-affiliated hospitals.

Objective:To construct an intelligent APP-assisted process assessment mode for standardized residency training and explore its application effect.Methods:Based on the "XUEYIKU" APP platform developed in Peking University Third Hospital, we built a standardized process of process assessment for standardized residency training assisted by intelligent APP and combining both online and offline components. We analyzed the frequency of APP use, satisfaction with the APP, the problems solved by the APP, and the aspects that need to be improved. SPSS 26.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The satisfaction score of teachers with the APP was (7.66±1.86) points. The satisfaction score of professional base teaching directors/process assessment coordinators was higher than that of clinical teachers [(8.28±1.30) vs. (7.42±1.99), P=0.013]. Most residents were satisfied with the APP (67.44%, 29/43), regarded its role in supporting the entire assessment process as important (55.81%, 24/43), and reviewed teacher feedback (65.12%, 28/43). Some teachers indicated that the APP solved problems such as paperless exam scoring (59.00%, 59/100), standardized exam processes (43.00%, 43/100), score statistics (42.00%, 42/100), and score reporting (42.00%, 42/100). The residents believed that the APP resolved issues such as exam notification (44.19%, 19/43), scheduling (41.86%, 18/43), and result feedback (41.86%, 18/43). Both teachers and residents mentioned the need for further strengthening the stability of the APP system and simplifying operational steps. Conclusions:With APP as a link, through the instant transmission and feedback of data, the intelligent APP-assisted process assessment mode drives the reflection and summarization of professional bases, clinical teachers, and residents, and promotes the post competence of residents.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the application value of narrow-band CE-Chirp ASSR(NB CE-Chirp ASSR)and modulated acoustic ASSR in the assessment of hearing threshold in children with hearing impairment.METHODS Forty-eight children with sensorineural hearing loss were tested by pure tone audiometry(PTA),NB CE-Chirp ASSR and modulated acoustic ASSR.According to the results of pure tone audiometry,they were divided into mild to moderate group(48 ears)and severe to profound group(48 ears).The difference and correlation between pure tone hearing threshold and ASSR response threshold of different stimuli were compared between 500-4 000 Hz.RESULTS The absolute differences between the NB CE-Chirp ASSR response threshold and the PTA threshold in 48 children were all smaller than the differences between the modulated acoustic ASSR response threshold and the PTA threshold,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).Under the same stimulus sound,the absolute difference between ASSR response threshold and pure tone hearing threshold in the mild to moderate group was higher than that in the severe to very severe group.The correlation coefficients between NB CE-Chirp ASSR threshold and pure tone hearing threshold are higher than those between modulated sound ASSR threshold and pure tone hearing threshold at 500-4 000 Hz.The test time of NB CE-Chirp ASSR[(20.92±9.33)min]was significantly shorter than that of modulated acoustic ASSR[(33.68±10.97)min](P=0.004).CONCLUSION NB CE-Chirp ASSR can more accurately assess the hearing threshold of children with different degrees of hearing loss than modulated acoustic ASSR.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Yishen Qingli Huoxue Formula(YQHF)improving renal fibrosis by inhib-iting HIF1-α using data mining,molecular docking,and in vivo and in vitro experiments.METHODS The expression changes of HIF1-α in renal biopsy tissues of patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD)in the GEO database were analyzed.Molecular docking was used to clarify the interaction mode between YQHF effective monomers and HIF1-α.Thirty SD rats were randomized to sham,model,low-dose YQHF,high-dose YQHF,and losartan potassium groups(n=6 per group).Unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)was used to induce renal fibrosis.Serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were measured,and kidney sections were stained with HE and Masson to assess pathology and fibrosis.Renal HIF1-α protein expression was quantified by Western blot.A renal fibro-sis cell model was established by inducing NRK-52E cells with TGF-β1,and the cells were divided into control,model,YQHF,HIF1-α inhibitor,HIF1-α inhibitor+YQHF,HIF1-α agonist,and HIF1-α agonist+YQHF groups.Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of HIF1-α,COL-1,and α-SMA,and to observe the mechanism of YQHF-containing serum in protecting renal tubular epithelial cells.RESULTS Data mining showed HIF1-α expression in the CKD group was significantly higher than in the control group(P<0.01).Molecular docking indicated YQHF core components had good binding affinity to HIF1-α.In vivo,com-pared with the sham group,HE staining revealed tubular atrophy and inflammatory-cell infiltration,and Masson staining showed in-creased collagen deposition in UUO model rats(P<0.01).Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were also elevated in the model group(P<0.05),together with up-regulated renal expression of COL-1,α-SMA and HIF-1α(P<0.01).After intervention with either high-dose or low-dose YQHF or losartan potassium,these pathological changes were attenuated:collagen deposition decreased(P<0.01),creatinine and BUN fell to varying degrees(P<0.05),and renal COL-1,α-SMA and HIF-1α levels were down-regulated(P<0.01);immunohistochemistry confirmed reduced HIF-1α in UUO kidneys(P<0.01).In NRK-52E cells,TGF-β1 stimulation mark-edly increased COL-1,α-SMA and HIF-1α protein levels(P<0.01).Both YQHF and chloramphenicol alone down-regulated these proteins(P<0.05,P<0.01),and their combination produced stronger inhibition of HIF-1α than YQHF alone(P<0.05).Conversely,the HIF-1α agonist fenbendazole-d3 reversed YQHF's anti-fibrotic effect,re-elevating COL-1,α-SMA and HIF-1α(P<0.01),with no significant difference versus agonist alone.CONCLUSION YQHF may inhibit extracellular matrix deposition and delay renal fi-brosis progression by suppressing HIF1-α accumulation,providing new theoretical evidence for traditional Chinese medicine in treat-ing renal fibrosis.

Glaucoma is one of the most common optic neuropathies, featuring progressive retinal ganglion cell damage and visual field loss (Tham et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2020). Currently, the only effective treatment for this condition is the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) (Palmberg, 2001; Heijl et al., 2002). Canaloplasty is a proven bleb-independent surgery with good efficacy and safety profiles in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) (Gołaszewska et al., 2021). However, early transient postoperative IOP elevation has been reported in up to 30% of cases (Riva et al., 2019), similar to that commonly observed in other internal drainage glaucoma surgeries such as implantation using iStent (0%-21.0%), CyPass (10.8%), and Hydrus (4.8%-6.5%) (Lavia et al., 2017). This complication may be a predictor of poor reserve in the outflow system and is potentially associated with surgical failure. Nonetheless, the exact pathophysiology of glaucoma remains unknown, and studies clarifying the risk factors for postoperative IOP elevation have been scarce.

The lung is one of the most common sites for cancer metastasis. Collagens in the lung provide a permissive microenvironment that supports the colonization and outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells. Therefore, down-regulating the production of collagens may contribute to the inhibition of lung metastasis. It has been suggested that miR-29 exhibits effective anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the expression of collagens. Indeed, our clinical lung tumor data shows that miR-29a-3p expression negatively correlates with collagen I expression in lung tumors and positively correlates with patients' outcomes. However, suitable carriers need to be selected to deliver this therapeutic miRNA to the lungs. In this study, we found that the chemotherapy drug cisplatin facilitated miR-29a-3p accumulation in the exosomes of lung tumor cells, and this type of exosomes exhibited a specific lung-targeting effect and promising collagen down-regulation. To scale up the preparation and simplify the delivery system, we designed a lung-targeting liposomal nanovesicle (by adjusting the molar ratio of DOTAP/cholesterol-miRNAs to 4:1) to carry miR-29a-3p and mimic the exosomes. This liposomal nanovesicle delivery system significantly down-regulated collagen I secretion by lung fibroblasts in vivo, thus alleviating the establishment of a pro-metastatic environment for circulating lung tumor cells.

Objective:To realize the characteristics of postgraduate students applying for Peking University Third Hospital and to explore the strategies to improve the enrollment quality on the background of "Double first-class".Methods:Enrollment data from 2015 to 2019 of the Peking University Third Hospital was statistically analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software. For variables that did not conform to the normal distribution, median and quartile were utilized for description. Mann-Whitney U test was utilized for comparison between admission group and non-admission group. For the counting data, number of cases and proportion were utilized for description. The comparison between groups was performed by chi-square test or Fisher precision test. All tests were two-sided and had a significance level of 0.05. Results:The average enrollment ratio was 4.9∶1. The overall admission rate of first choice was 76.9% (450/585), which kept increased steadily, and the gap between national key clinical specialties and non-key specialties was narrowed. The geographical distribution of students was mainly in north China (30%, 175/585) and east China (28%, 164/585). The admission group had characteristics of high score of CET-6 (505 vs. 480, Z=-5.86, P<0.001) and young age (24 vs. 25, Z=-8.15, P<0.001). The proportion of "985", "211" or "Double first-class" universities, patents invention, conference speeches and high level awards in admission group was higher than that in non-admission group. Conclusion:Sustainable policies should be taken to constantly improve the quality of enrollment including establishing sound mechanism of discipline adjustment and optimization, increasing the publicity of enrollment nationwide, and strengthening the selection of the comprehensive ability of students centered on the construction of first-class disciplines.
