The new synergistic education model integrating the “five arts” medical talent cultivation philosophy and the red doctor spirit could form a virtuous cycle of “spiritual guidance-technological breakthrough-spiritual reshaping” in the field of military medical education. Addressing the existing challenges in the process of military medical cadets’ training, such as mission awareness, humanistic care, battlefield rescue, and emergency response, this study proposed integrating the red doctor spirit, characterized by political steadfastness, healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, selfless devotion, relentless pursuit of excellence, and seeking truth and innovation, into the training system under the guidance of the “five arts” philosophy, including establishing a foundation through Daoist arts, forging the soul with benevolence, empowering through academia, tempering through technology, and nurturing the mind through artistry. A cultivation model was constructed featuring “moral education as the priority and cultivating through soul-forging; military spirit as the root and medical professionalism as the foundation and training for warfare; mastery in medicine for battlefield success and cultivating talent through rigorous scholarship.” Furthermore, through pathways including the optimization and implementation of the curriculum system, the enhancement and innovation of practical teaching, the development and training of the faculty team, and the improvement and innovation of the evaluation system, this model assisted in achieve the goal of cultivating compound talents with “the red medicine essence plus the five arts foundation.” These talents also built their foundation on the “five arts” philosophy, forge their spirit with the red doctor spirit, and was tempered with battlefield adaptability.

OBJECTIVE:
Chromosome conformation-based karyotype analysis (C-MoKa) technology was used to test a couple who had experienced multiple adverse pregnancies in order to provide them with genetic counseling and reproductive guidance.
METHODS:
A couple presented at the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University in 2023 was selected as the study subject. Through C-MoKa testing, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), it was found that the couple's repeatedly miscarried fetuses and abnormal embryos exhibited highly similar chromosomal structural abnormalities. Using C-MoKa, the potential genetic abnormalities in both partners were traced, and reproductive guidance was provided based on the result. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: LDYYSZLLKH2025-09).
RESULTS:
CNV-seq analysis of the couple's miscarriage fetal chorionic villi showed del(18)(q21.2q23)(28.90 Mb) and dup(13)(q31.2q34)(26.26 Mb). Chromosomal karyotyping analysis of both partners showed no abnormality. From 2024 to 2025, the couple underwent three rounds of PGT-A assisted reproduction. The first embryo test showed del(13)(q31.2q34)(26.77 Mb) and dup(18)(q21.2q23)(29.08 Mb). The second embryo test showed dup(13)(q31.2q34)(26.26 Mb) and del(18)(q21.2q23)(28.90 Mb). And the third embryo test results showed complex chromosomal abnormalities. In 2025, after genetic counseling, the couple had opted C-MoKa test, which has detected no abnormality in the wife, but a balanced 46,XY,t(13;18)(q31.2;q21.2) translocation in the husband.
CONCLUSION
As a high-throughput sequencing method based on the three-dimensional conformation of chromatin, C-MoKa has the advantages of high resolution and high accuracy, and can accurately detect balanced translocations with similar banding patterns. It has therefore offered a powerful new tool for chromosomal analysis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the antidepressant mechanism of Wenyang jieyu granules (WYJYG) via the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3)/apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC)/Caspase-1 pathway. METHODS A rat model of depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with single-housing for 42 consecutive days.The experiment set up blank group, model group, MCC950 (NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor) group (10 mg/kg), fluoxetine group (positive control,2.08 mg/kg),low-dose WYJYG(3.78 g/kg) and high-dose WYJYG group (7.56 g/kg),with 10 rats in each group. From the 22nd day of the experiment, rats in the fluoxetine group, low-dose and high-dose WYJYG groups were intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs and intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Rats in the MCC950 group were intraperitoneally injected with MCC950 at the corresponding concentration and intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water. Rats in the blank group and model group were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage and an equal volume of normal saline by intraperitoneal injection. All interventions were performed once a day for 21 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were conducted once a week. After the last administration, the contents of ASC, ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-18 in hippocampal tissues were detected. The protein expressions of NLRP3, cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68), Caspase-1, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein were determined, and neuronal apoptosis was observed. RESULTS After the last administration, compared with the model group, the open-field activity time was significantly prolonged ( P <0.05), and the latency to feed in a novel environment was significantly shortened ( P <0.05) in rats of the high-dose WYJYG group. In hippocampal tissue, the contents of ASC, Iba1, IL-1β, and IL-18, as well as the protein expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and CD68, and the positive rate of neuronal apoptosis were all significantly decreased/downregulated ( P <0.05). Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly upregulated ( P <0.05), and the density of neuronal apoptosis-positive cells was significantly reduced ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS WYJYG play on antidepressant role by inhibiting the NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 pathway, reducing microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, and inhibiting hippocampal neurons apoptosis.

In the challenging and specific military environment, medical activities are not only confined to traditional medical care but must also adapt to the special requirements of military operations. Meanwhile, when military operations employ medical interventions for treatment and research, they introduce complexities and ethical considerations inherent in the medical domain. Against this backdrop, the ethical conflicts and moral dilemmas confronted by the special identity of military doctors have become an inevitable and urgent issue requiring resolution. The identities of doctors and soldiers, typically distinct, overlap and intersect in the role of the military doctors on the battlefield, inevitably giving rise to intricate ethical predicaments that frequently place them in arduous moral choices. The special considerations in behavioral decision-making, contradictions in value judgments, and the reconciliation of moral injury among military doctors in battlefield scenarios should be comprehensively considered based on factors such as professional codes of conduct, values and emotions, international law, and humanitarian principles. Military doctors should regard respecting life as the supreme principle, while also taking into account the protection needs of special groups, and adhering to the core concept of fairness and reasonableness, all of which should serve as the fundamental guidance for their behavioral standards.

[Objective] To analyze the distribution of Rh blood group phenotype in some ethnic groups in China, so as to provide references for accurate blood transfusion. [Methods] The data of CNKI, Wanfang data and VIP were retrieved using "Rh blood group" and "nationality", and the search of PubMed database was conducted with the keywords "Rh blood group", "nationalities", "ethnic groups" and "China", with retrieval time until September 19, 2024 Data were extracted from eligible studies and the literature quality was evaluated using the criteria for cross-sectional studies in STROBE statement. Meta analysis was performed using Stata 11.0 software. [Results] A total of 350 relevant literature were retrieved, of which 26 were included. The total sample size for Rh phenotype distribution detection were 31 432, and the total population for RhD negative screening was 47 227, covering 26 ethnic groups. Meta-analysis revealed that the Rh blood groups phenotype distribution in certain ethnic populations in China was mainly CCDee 46.7% (95%CI=46.2%-47.2%), CcDEe 30.1% (95%CI=29.5%-30.6%), and CcDee 9.0% (95%CI=8.7%-9.3%). Analysis of the RhD-negative phenotype indicated an negative rate of RhD of 0.3% (95%CI=0.2%-0.3%), with the main phenotype distributions of ccdee at 0.2% (95%CI=0.1%-0.2%) and ccdEe at 0.2% (95%CI=0.0%-0.4%). The meta-analysis results of the distribution of common phenotypes among different ethnic groups showed that the CCDee phenotype was mainly distributed as Hani>Dong>Buyi>Miao>Tujia>Hui>Zang>Kazakh>Mongol>Uygur; the CcDEe phenotype: Zang>Mongol>Hui; the CcDee phenotype: Uygur>Kazakh>Mongol>Zang>Hui>Dong>Miao>Tujia>Buyi; the ccDEE phenotype: Zang>Hui=Mongol. The results of this study are similar to those of Qingdao population in China, but differ from studies conducted in North India, German individuals of European ancestry and Saudi Arabian populations. [Conclusion] The distribution of Rh blood group phenotypes in some ethnic groups in China shows no significant difference compared to the Han population, but there are differences when compared to populations in other countries and regions.
