ObjectiveA mouse model of vaccinia virus Tiantan strain (VTT)-induced encephalopathy was developed using AG6 mice. MethodsVTT was amplified by infecting Vero cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01, followed by concentration and titration. After 72 h of incubation, virus-containing cells were collected and subjected to concentration. The concentrated viral suspension was serially diluted (10-fold dilutions) and added to 6-well plates containing confluent Vero cell monolayers for plaque assay. The number of plaques formed in each well was counted, and the virus titer was calculated based on the dilution factor. Fourteen 5-6-week-old AG6 mice (half male and half female, housed separately by sex) were randomly divided into a control group (n=3, PBS), a low-dose group (n=6, 1×10⁵ PFU), and a high-dose group (n=5, 5×10⁵ PFU). The mice were anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation and then infected via intranasal instillation. The mental state of the mice in each group was observed daily, and the body weight and mortality were recorded. On day 13 post-infection, 2% Evans Blue (4 mL/kg body weight) was administered via tail vein injection to assess blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Subsequently, brain tissue samples were collected for immunofluorescence analysis to evaluate the activation of astrocytes and microglia. ResultsThe titer of purified VTT was 1×10⁷ PFU/mL. Compared with the control group, mice in the low-dose group showed no significant change in body weight, and no lethality was observed. In contrast, mice in the high-dose group exhibited significant weight loss starting on day 5 post-infection (P<0.05), accompanied by lethality. On day 13 post-infection, no Evans Blue extravasation was detected in the brain tissues of the low-dose group, while the olfactory bulb region of the high-dose group displayed distinct blue staining, indicating disruption of the BBB. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed no significant proliferation of astrocytes and microglia in the olfactory bulb region of the low-dose group on day 13 post-infection. In contrast, marked activation of glial cells was observable in the high-dose group. ConclusionAn animal model of VTT-induced encephalopathy in AG6 mice is successfully established, characterized by BBB disruption and reactive gliosis specifically localized to the olfactory bulb region, manifested as astrocytic and microglial proliferation.

Shift work, as a form of non-conventional work schedule, significantly increases the risk of vascular aging and related diseases due to circadian rhythm disruption, sleep disturbances, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. This review systematically summarized the mechanisms and epidemiological evidence linking shift work to vascular aging. Available studies indicated that shift work disrupts the rhythmic expression of core circadian clock genes (e.g., BMAL1, CLOCK, PER, CRY), leading to dysregulated glucose and lipid metabolism, enhanced oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and altered diurnal blood pressure patterns, thereby directly impairing endothelial function and accelerating arterial stiffness. Sleep deprivation and fragmentation further reduce nitric oxide bioavailability and promote endothelin-1 secretion, exacerbating vascular constriction and inflammatory responses. Existing epidemiological data show that shift workers exhibit higher prevalence of hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis compared with non-shift workers, accompanied by abnormal vascular function indicators such as pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness. Additionally, unhealthy dietary habits, psychological stress, and sedentary behavior in shift workers synergistically contribute to vascular aging. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the pathological link between shift work and vascular aging and to inform public health policy formulation and occupational health management.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathological type, axillary lymph node metastasis and molecular biomarkers in patients with breast cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients with breast cancer (observation group) and 50 patients with benign breast lesions (control group) admitted to the Beijing Daxing District People′s Hospital from January 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological types of breast cancer patients were analyzed according to the pathological examination results, and the axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer patients was recorded. Reverse rate constant (Kep), transfer constant (K trans) and extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) were calculated by MRI scanning. The expression level of molecular biomarkers of breast samples [estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), Ki-67] were detected. MRI imaging characteristics of patients in the two groups were analyzed, and MRI imaging characteristics of breast cancer patients with different pathological types, axillary lymph node metastasis and different molecular biomarker levels were analyzed. Results:Kep, K trans and Ve in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in Kep, K trans and Ve among breast cancer patients with different pathologic types (invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma) (all P<0.05), and the highest Kep, K trans and Ve were found in invasive lobular carcinoma patients, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Kep, K trans and Ve in patients with axillary lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those without metastasis (all P<0.01). ER positive patients had lower Ve than ER negative patients, PR-positive patients had lower Kep than PR-negative patients, HER-2 positive patients had higher Kep than HER-2 negative patients, and Ve was lower than HER-2 negative patients, Ki-67 high expression patients had lower Kep than Ki-67 low expression patients, and Ve was higher than Ki-67 low expression patients. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:MRI imaging features of breast cancer patients are related to pathological types, axillary lymph node metastasis and molecular biological markers of breast cancer patients. Clinical evaluation and analysis of breast cancer patients can be conducted by MRI imaging features.

Objective:To investigate the role of evidence-based clinical guidelines combined with "rain classroom" smart teaching in standardized residency training in endocrinology department.Methods:The 100 trainees who underwent standardized residency training in the Department of Endocrinology at Xiamen Hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into groups based on the parity of their admission batches, with even-numbered batches assigned to the control group and odd-numbered batches to the experimental group, with 50 trainees in each group. The control group received traditional teaching, while the experimental group was taught using evidence-based clinical guidelines combined with "rain classroom" smart teaching. Statistical comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of exit examination scores, teaching effectiveness, teaching satisfaction, and evaluation of trainees by teachers. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and Chi-square test.

Additionally, the experimental group showed superior performance in self-learning [(8.57±1.12) vs. (7.64±1.24)], clinical thinking [(8.61±1.16) vs. (7.78±1.28)], evidence-based thinking [(8.52±1.13) vs. (7.69±1.26)], clinical skills [(8.49±1.17) vs. (7.61±1.23)], communication skills [(8.53±1.18) vs. (7.67±1.29)], and literature review [(8.59±1.15) vs. (7.71±1.27)], with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Teaching satisfaction in the experimental group (96.00%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (82.00%) ( P=0.025). The pass rates rated by teachers were higher in the experimental group in medical history collection (94.00% vs. 80.00%), physical examination (96.00% vs. 82.00%), clinical thinking (92.00% vs. 76.00%), communication skills (94.00% vs. 80.00%), literature review (96.00% vs. 84.00%), specialized skills (94.00% vs. 78.00%), and diagnosis and treatment plan formulation (92.00% vs. 74.00%), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of evidence-based clinical guidelines combined with "rain classroom" smart teaching in the standardized residency training in endocrinology department can significantly improve the exit examination scores and teaching satisfaction of trainees, teaching effectiveness, and evaluation of trainees by teachers. This teaching method has a positive role in improving the clinical comprehensive ability of trainees such as evidence-based medical thinking and standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment.
