The success of"New Medical Sciences"in higher education requires effective tools in evalua-ting students'performance in courses.Previously,we reported a teamwork(T),critique(C)and ap-preciation(A)(TCA)ideological and political model,a teaching model widely applied in Basic Medical courses.TCA is an abbreviation derived from Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in Biochemistry as an analogy for nurturing the abilities of thinking and teamwork(T),critique(C)and appreciation(A),which hope-fully could provide students with moral norms for cognition,science and life.This paper further explores the tools to assess the educational outcomes of the TCA model,by which teachers can collect feedback and reflect on teaching quality and effectiveness.Addressing the challenges of individual differences in large classes,fragmented learning feedback,and the difficulty of measuring meta-cognition in educational evaluation,this study employs strategies of value-added assessment,matrix assessment and norm-transfer-able assessment to evaluate the TCA abilities from the aspects of thinking quality,thinking creativity,co-operation ability,iterative thinking,dialectical thinking and job responsibility.By modifying/using 18 e-valuation tools in Education and Psychology,we have established a rubric system composed of 30 primary indicators(with 11 newly designed,10 partly modified and 9 directly adopted),along with 49 secondary indicators and 98 tertiary indicators to enhance the feasibility of the evaluation process.This rubric sys-tem was applied to Biochemistry teaching among the five-year-program undergraduates at Air Force Medi-cal University.Specifically,thinking and teamwork are evaluated by creative works from"the magic bio-chemical-circle",while critiques are assessed in large classes under the guidance of basic and clinical teachers,coupled with appreciation measured by job responsibility in a task-driven virtual reality(VR)project.The results indicate that Biochemistry teaching not only accumulates knowledge in students,but also achieves the goals in nurturing values and cognition.The inclusion of creative performance evalua-tion,cooperative learning and clinical case studies,can enhance students'interpersonal skills,coopera-tion,quality of thinking,creative thinking,iterative thinking and dialectical thinking to varying degrees.TCA-based Biochemistry teaching has a long-lasting impact on character education,and is capable of in-ducing positive long-term changes in students'cognition and lifestyle.Taken together,with the help of this rubric system,teachers can promptly acknowledge the effectiveness of their teaching,thereby facilita-ting their teaching strategies.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

With the extended survival period of breast cancer patients and the increasing health demands, the concomitant diseases of breast cancer have gradually attracted the attention of both doctors and patients, and it is imperative to conduct comprehensive management of these diseases, in which the general practitioners, as the more comprehensive and complex medical talents, have not yet played their due roles. In this article, we report two cases of comprehensive management of concomitant diseases of breast cancer through collaboration of general practitioners and specialists (integrated general and specialist care). The role and function of general practitioners in this process were deeply analyzed, and the establishment of a consultation-liaison general practice model to further promote the role of integrated general and specialist care in integrated oncology care was advocated.

Objective:To explore the effect of Shenxianling granules on the pharmacokinetics of ondansetron. Methods:A method for detecting the plasma concentration of ondansetron using highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was established. The reliability of the method was validated through specificity, linear relationship, precision, stability, repeated experiments, and sample recovery rate testing. Thirty six healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups, with 18 rabbits in each group. Rabbits in the single ondansetron group (single drug group) received intravenous injection of ondansetron 0.92 mg/kg through the ear vein. Rabbits in the Shenxianling granules combined with ondansetron group (combination drug group) were firstly given 575 mg/kg of Shenxianling granules by gavage continuously for 10 days, and on the morning of the 11th day, ondansetron 0.92 mg/kg was intravenously injected. Blood samples were collected before administration and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours and 24 hours after administration of ondansetron. The blood concentration of ondansetron was detected using HPLC method and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculate. Results:Two New Zealand rabbits in the combination drug group developed agitation and cough, and then died on the second and fifth day of gavage, respectively. Therefore a total of 18 and 16 rabbits in the single drug group and the combination drug group completed the experiment, respectively. After ondansetron administration, the plasma concentration of ondansetron increased rapidly in the single drug group and remained at low levels in the combination drug group. From 5 minutes to 10 hours after administration, the plasma concentration of ondansetron at the 13 blood sampling time points in the combination drug group was significantly lower than that in the single drug group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Compared with the single drug group, the plasma clearance half-life of ondansetron in the combination drug group was significantly prolonged, the peak time, peak concentration, concentration at the last time and area under the curve (AUC) were all significantly reduced, and the percen- tage of residual or extrapolated area to the overall AUC, apparent volume of distribution, and clearance/bioavailability ratio were significantly increased; the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a significant interaction between Shenxianling granules and ondansetron, leading to a decreased plasma concentration of ondansetron. The mechanism may be related to Shenxianling granules altering the tissue distribution of ondansetron within the body.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of free medial sural artery perforator flap transplantation in repairing electrical burn wounds on hands and feet.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From November 2017 to September 2023, 21 male patients aged 28-51 years with electrical burns on hands and feet who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital. There were 23 wounds, of which 14 were on the hand and 9 on the foot; 9 were associated with exposed tendon injury, 6 were associated with bone exposure or necrosis, and 8 were associated with joint injury. The wound area after debridement was 4.0 cm×2.5 cm-14.0 cm×10.0 cm. For 2 relatively wide wounds and 2 adjacent fingers/toes wounds, the lobulated flaps centered on 2 medial sural artery perforators were designed and incised for repair. For other wounds, medial sural artery perforator flaps were designed and incised. The flap area was 5.0 cm×3.0 cm-16.0 cm×11.0 cm. The arteriovenous vessels of flap were anastomosed end-to-end with the arteriovenous vessels of the recipient area; the cutaneous nerves of 10 flaps were anastomosed with the nerves in hand wound, and the sural nerve bundle was cut to repair one digital nerve defect. The donor site wound was closed with tension-relieving sutures. Postoperative flap survival and wound healing at donor site were recorded. During follow-up, subsequent flap revision was recorded, the texture and appearance of the flap, as well as the scarring and functional recovery of the donor area of the lower leg, were observed. At the last follow-up, the recovery of hand flap sensation was observed, the satisfaction of patients with the treatment effect of each operation was investigated by using Likert scale, the hand function of the affected hand in patients with hand wounds was evaluated by using the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of upper extremity by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, and the weight-bearing walking ability of the affected foot in patients with foot wounds was evaluated by Holden walking ability grading.Results:There was a slight necrosis at the distal end of one flap after surgery, which healed after dressing change. All 23 flaps survived. The sutures of the two donor areas were poorly healed due to high local tension, and the second sutures were performed after debridement and drainage, and the healing was good. The wounds of the remaining 21 donor sites healed well. Follow-up of 6-26 months after surgery showed that 3 flaps were slightly bloated, and the appearance was improved after flap reconstruction; the other flaps did not undergo subsequent revision. All flaps were soft and similar to the surrounding tissue morphology. Linear scar remained in the donor site of the lower leg, and walking function was normal. At the last follow-up, the protective sensation of the hand flap was restored; the patients were very satisfied with the results of 21 surgeries and were relatively satisfied with the results of 2 surgeries. Among the 14 patients with hand wounds, the affected hand function was rated as excellent in 10 cases, very good in 3 cases, and acceptable in one case, and the weight-bearing walking ability of the affected foot in 7 patients with foot wounds was all rated as grade Ⅴ.Conclusions:The medial sural artery perforator flap has the advantages of reliable blood supply, appropriate thickness and smoothness, and can be lobulated or cut according to the shape of the wound. The flap demonstrates superior aesthetic and functional restoration in repairing electrical burn wounds on hands and feet, achieving high patient satisfaction with the surgical treatment effect.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

OBJECTIVE:
Several epidemiological observational studies have related particulate matter (PM) exposure to Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but many confounding factors make it difficult to draw causal links from observational studies. The objective of this study was to explore the causal association between PM 2.5 exposure, its absorbance, and IBD.
METHODS:
We assessed the association of PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 absorbance with the two primary forms of IBD (Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]) using Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the causal relationship. We conducted two-sample MR analyses with aggregated data from the UK Biobank genome-wide association study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms linked with PM 2.5 concentrations or their absorbance were used as instrumental variables (IVs). We used inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the primary analytical approach and four other standard methods as supplementary analyses for quality control.
RESULTS:
The results of MR demonstrated that PM 2.5 had an adverse influence on UC risk (odds ratio [ OR] = 1.010; 95% confidence interval [ CI] = 1.001-1.019, P = 0.020). Meanwhile, the results of IVW showed that PM 2.5 absorbance was also causally associated with UC ( OR = 1.012; 95% CI = 1.004-1.019, P = 0.002). We observed no causal relationship between PM 2.5, PM 2.5 absorbance, and CD. The results of sensitivity analysis indicated the absence of heterogeneity or pleiotropy, ensuring the reliability of MR results.
CONCLUSION
Based on two-sample MR analyses, there are potential positive causal relationships between PM 2.5, PM 2.5 absorbance, and UC.
