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.

BackgroundIn recent years， the incidence of depression among adolescents has been increasing steadily， posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health and even leading to severe consequences such as self-harm and suicide. At the same time， the detection rate of subclinical depression symptoms among adolescents is even higher. Although these symptoms do not meet the clinical diagnostic criteria， they have significantly affected their quality of life， and their persistence over time may further develop into depression. Therefore， in-depth exploration of adolescent depression symptoms and the predictive factors holds significant practical significance and research value. However， up to now， no large-scale investigation and research on depression symptoms among children and adolescents has been conducted in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region， in order to provide references for formulating scientific and effective prevention strategies and intervention measures. MethodsBy using the cluster stratified random sampling method， 6 281 students from the third grade of primary school to the second grade of high school in 12 leagues and cities of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected in March 2024. A self-designed questionnaire and the Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS） were used for on-site investigation. ResultsA total of 6 058 （96.45%） children and adolescents completed the valid questionnaire survey， and 2 728 cases （45.03%） were found to have depressive symptoms. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents of different genders， ages， whether they were only children， different family types， family monthly income， parents' educational levels， and whether the mother was employed （χ²=33.769， 40.618， 48.593， 29.972， 142.648， 195.999， 168.190， 5.445， P<0.05 or 0.01）.The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that for children and adolescents， being female， aged between 12 and 16， over 16 years old， not being an only child， living in a reconstituted family， having a monthly family income of less than 5 000 yuan， and having parents with an education level of primary school or below were predictors of depressive symptoms （OR=1.241， 1.427， 1.273， 1.177， 1.549， 1.278， 1.462， 1.417， 1.514， 1.929， 1.660， 1.528， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionThe detection rate of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high. Factors that may predict depressive symptoms in children and adolescents include female gender， ages between 12 and 16， ages over 16 years old， non-only children， families with a restructured structure， monthly family income of less than 5 000 yuan， and parents with an education level of primary school or below. ［Funded by Science and Technology Planning Project of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region （number， 2022YFSH0119）］

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 investigate the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in drinking water (tap water and well water) in urban and rural areas of Hohhot, assess the safety of drinking water, and to provide data support for local drinking water radioactivity monitoring and management. Methods Representative samples of well water and tap water were collected from nine banners/counties/districts in Hohhot. Activity concentrations were measured using a low-background gross α/β counter, an α spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and a radium/radon analyzer. Results A total of nine tap water samples and nine well water samples were analyzed. For the tap water samples, gross α activity concentrations ranged from 0.093 to 0.193 Bq/L, gross β from 0.091 to 0.225 Bq/L, uranium mass concentrations from 2.32 to 10.36 μg/L, thorium mass concentrations from 0.09 to 0.20 μg/L,²¹⁰Po activity concentrations from below the minimum detectable limit to 0.41 mBq/L, and ²²⁶Ra activity concentrations from 8.70 to 13.35 mBq/L. For the well water samples, gross α activity concentrations ranged from 0.111 to 0.203 Bq/L, gross β from 0.111 to 0.270 Bq/L, uranium mass concentrations from 2.31 to 13.28 μg/L, thorium mass concentrations from 0.17 to 0.26 μg/L,²¹⁰Po activity concentrations from 1.03 to 2.12 mBq/L, and ²²⁶Ra activity concentrations from 15.38 to 23.63 mBq/L. Conclusion The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in both well water and tap water in the Hohhot region were at environmental background levels and met national drinking water hygiene standards.

Objective: This study aimed to compare outcomes and adverse events of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with cisplatin single-agent chemotherapy vs. CCRT with cisplatin combined with paclitaxel dualagent therapy. The primary outcomes are overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local recurrence (LR), distant metastasis (DM) and the occurrence of adverse events. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with FIGO 2009 stage IB1-IVA cervical squamous cell carcinoma undergoing radical CCRT. Patients were divided into groups A and B, treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups after 1:1 proportional propensity score matching. Results: Medical records of 1,203 patients were reviewed and 572 patients were finally included for propensity score matching. After propensity score matching, 121 pairs of patients were selected for analysis. The OS, PFS, LR and DM rates were 78.5% and 83.5% (p=0.417), 73.3% and 78.5% (p=0.312), 6.6% and 2.5% (p=0.123), 19% and 15.7% (p=0.497) for groups A and B, respectively. Further subgroup analysis according to stage and lymph node metastatic status showed no difference in survival between the two groups. The incidence of grade 3–4 acute haematological toxicities was different between the two groups (p<0.05). Conclusion Cisplatin combined with paclitaxel CCRT couldn’t improve the survival rates of patients with LACC. However, the hematological toxicity of combination chemotherapy is more severe but controllable. Cisplatin single-agent therapy remains the first choice for CCRT. Further prospective studies are indicated to provide evidence for the efficacy of cisplatin plus paclitaxel in dual-agent concurrent therapy.

To investigate the role of the DPP4-nestin axis in liver fibrosis induced by alveolar cyst infection,a murine model was established using C57BL/6 mice via hepatic portal vein injection.Liver histopathological changes were assessed using HE staining,while immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were employed to evaluate the expression levels of nestin and DPP4 in infected mouse livers.In vitro,J S1 cell line was stimulated with recombinant DPP4 protein to es-tablish a cellular model,and qPCR,Western blot,and shRNA lentivirus interference techniques were utilized to examine the involvement of the DPP4-nestin axis in hepatic stellate cell activation.The findings demonstrated that compared to the Sham group,liver tissue structure disruption and collagen deposition were evident along with significantly increased expressions of nestin and DPP4(P＜0.050 0),which colocalized with nesin and α-SMA.Furthermore,stimulation with recombi-nant DPP4 protein significantly enhanced JS1 cell activation(P＜0.050 0)as well as upregulated nestin expression(P＜0.050 0)when compared to control group cells.Notably,shRNA lentivirus-mediated inhibition of nestin expression effectively suppressed the activating effects exerted by re-combinant DPP4 protein on JS1 cells(P＜0.050 0).Collectively,these results highlight the crucial regulatory role played by the DPP4-nestin axis in hepatic stellate cell activation triggered by alveo-lar infection;thus,targeting this axis may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for treating alveo-lar infection-induced liver fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability and happiness in spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments.Methods:From December 2023 to May 2024, a total of 366 spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited as study participants. Data were collected using the general information, perceived social support scale, dyadic coping inventory, Chinese version of the family cohesion and adaptability scale(FACESⅡ-CV), and memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness. The AMOS 21.0 software was utilized to construct a structural equation model to examine the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support, family cohesion and adaptability and happiness.Results:The spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments reported overall scores for perceived social support (62.80±12.80), dyadic coping (117.07±20.78), family cohesion and adaptability (115.96±19.51), and happiness (22.27±7.29). Family cohesion and adaptability was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.614, 0.520, both P<0.01).Spousal happiness was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.296, 0.202, both P<0.01).The spouses recognized that perceived social support had a positive correlation with dyadic coping ( r=0.479, P<0.01).Dyadic coping played a partial mediating effect between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability as well as happiness, accounting for 32.41% (0.211/0.651) and 44.39% (0.190/0.428) of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Dyadic coping is the mediating variable of family cohesion, adaptability and happiness of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments. Medical staff should try to construct a dyadic coping intervention plan to improve the dyadic coping level of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments, so as to improve their family happiness index.

Objective To develop a convolutional neural network based model for predicting the dose distribution of intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)in cervical cancer,and to evaluate its potential applications in automated treatment planning.Methods The pelvic IMRT plans for 100 female patients were collected,with 80 cases in the training set,10 in the validation set,and 10 in the test set.A dose prediction model was built based on the three-dimensional(3D)residual network for forecasting 3D dose distribution.Masks for organs-at-risk and planning target areas were extracted from CT images and RT Structure files.Density values were assigned to different structures according to a density map,and the resulting CT maps were used as input images for model training.The optimal model was used to predict the 3D dose distribution,and the predicted results were compared with the dose distribution from manual treatment planning in terms of dosimetric parameters.Results The experimental results on the 10-case test set demonstrated that dosimetric parameter differences were insignificant and within clinically acceptable ranges.The mean absolute error,average Dice similarity coefficient,and 95%Hausdorff distance for 10 cases in test set were(0.58±0.16)Gy,0.90±0.03,and(10.61±7.17)mm,respectively.Compared with manual planning,prediction model showed slightly decreased rectal V45,small bowel D2cc,and the V20 of bilateral femoral heads was reduced.The predicted D95 of planning target area was lower than manual planning,but the differences in D90,homogeneity index,and conformity index were trivial.There were minor differences in 3D dose distributions between the two,and the dose distribution generated by prediction model met clinical requirements.Conclusion The convolutional neural network based dose prediction model can accurately forecast the dose distribution for cervical cancer IMRT,exhibiting the potential to be used in automated treatment planning and quality evaluation.

In this study,the carboxylated magnetic beads were coupled with bivalent nanobodies a-gainst porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV)M protein to construct immunomagnetic beads(IM-NBs-Ⅱ),The capture and enrichment function of IMNBs-Ⅱ was verified by using PEDV propaga-ted in Vero cells.A one-step RT-qPCR detection method for PEDV was established by combining the characteristics of IMNBs-Ⅱ with the detection advantages of reverse transcription fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Specific analysis found that this method has no cross reactivity with swine fever virus,porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,por-cine parvovirus,porcine circovirus,indicating that it has good specificity.Sensitivity analysis re-vealed that the detection sensitivity of the RT-qPCR based on IMNBs-Ⅱ was increased 10 times compared to traditional RT-qPCR methods.Detection of the clinical samples confirm that the RT qPCR method based on IMNBs-Ⅱ is suitable for rapid and accurate detection of clinical feces and tissue samples.The method established in this study effectively avoids contamination issues during nucleic acid extraction,simplifies experimental procedures,and saves detection time,which pro-vides a method for efficient detection of PEDV.

Objective To investigate whether Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg)in the oral cavity can influence the occurrence of perioperative neurocognitive disorder(PND)by modulating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.Methods In cell experi-ment,BV-2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were randomly divided into two groups:the control group(Group C)and the LPS-Pg-treatedgroup(Group P).Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of signaling proteins(TLR4,NF-κB p65,NLRP3,TNF-α)in cellular proteins.Immunofluorescence assay was employed to observe thechanges in NF-κB p65 expres-sions inside and outside the nucleus.In animal experiments,C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups:the control group(Group C),the surgery group(Group S),the Pg infection group(Group P),the Pg infection+surgery group(Group PS),the TLR4inhibitor group(Group T),and the Pg infection+surgery+TLR4 inhibitor group(Group PST).After corresponding treatments,the Morris water maze(MWM)test was applied to observe theeffects of Pg infection on postoperativecognitive be-havior in mice.Immunohistochemical analysis was used to assess the impact of Pg infection on the activation of microglia in the hippocampal tissue of mice.Results In cell experiment,compared with Group C,expression levels of TLR4,NLRP3,and TNF-α increased significantly in Group P(all P＜0.05).The expression of NF-κB p65 in the nucleus increased(P＜0.05),while its expression outside the nucleus decreased(P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence results showed increased NF-κB expression and its translocation into the nucleus in Group P.As for animal experiment,no significant difference was observed in the preoperative training phase among the groups in Morris water maze experiment,with similar escape latencies and average swimming speeds(all P＞0.05).Therefore,therewas no notabledifferences in navigationand swimming abilities among thegroups before theex-periment.In the postoperative testing phase,compared with Group C,the target quadrant time and platform-crossing times were less in mice of Group S and Group PS(all P＜0.05).Compared with Group PS,the target quadrant time and platform-crossing times were elevated in mice of Group PST(both P＜0.05).Compared to Group C and Group PST,number of positive cells in hippocampal tissue was higher in Group PS.These positivecells exhibited enlarged somas,shortened processes,and an activated state of microglia.Conclusion Pg infection induces enhanced central nervous system inflammation during the perioperative peri-od in mice,leading to the occurrence of PND,possibly through the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
