The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI), has already brought, and will continue to bring, revolutionary changes to our daily production and life, as well as create new opportunities and challenges for diagnostic and therapeutic practices in the medical field. Haihe Hospital of Tianjin University collaborates with the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, Tianjin University, and other institutions to carry out research in areas such as smart healthcare, smart services, and smart management. We have conducted research and development of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system based on GenAI in the field of smart healthcare. The development of this project is of great significance. The first goal is to upgrade and transform the hospital's information center, organically integrate it with existing information systems, and provide the necessary computing power storage support for intelligent services within the hospital. We have implemented the localized deployment of three models: Tianhe "Tianyuan", WiNGPT, and DeepSeek. The second is to create a digital avatar of the chief physician/chief physician's voice and image by integrating multimodal intelligent interaction technology. With generative intelligence as the core, this solution provides patients with a visual medical interaction solution. The third is to achieve deep adaptation between generative intelligence and the entire process of patient medical treatment. In this project, we have developed assistant tools such as intelligent inquiry, intelligent diagnosis and recognition, intelligent treatment plan generation, and intelligent assisted medical record generation to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of the diagnosis and treatment process. This study introduces the content of a full-process disease diagnosis and treatment assistance system, aiming to provide references and insights for the digital transformation of the healthcare industry.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of a rotation training program for primary care general practitioners (GPs) in Taizhou, China, designed around three core competencies.Methods:A longitudinal study was conducted. A total of 111 primary care GPs participating in the 1st to 5th sessions of the Taizhou GP rotation training program at Taizhou Hospital (the designated training center) in Zhejiang Province from July 2022 to December 2024 were included. Based on the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) competency model, combined with literature review and expert consultation, 15 potential training components were identified. A needs assessment survey among primary care GPs was then conducted, leading to the finalization of three core competencies for the training: ①Evidence-based management of common diseases, frequently-occurring diseases, and common symptoms; ②Early identification, management, and referral of critically ill patients; ③Chronic disease management and health promotion capabilities. A 4-month full-time immersion training program was structured around these competencies, comprising three phases: theoretical training (1 week), clinical comprehensive skills training (14 weeks), and primary care practice training (1 week). Assessments included a pre-and post-training theoretical knowledge test and a final clinical assessment. The final assessment utilized a three-station Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) evaluating patient consultation, clinical reasoning & decision-making, and clinical procedural skills. A self-administered satisfaction survey was also distributed post-training.Results:The 111 participants were predominantly aged 30-49 years (72.1% (80/111)), held bachelor′s degrees (87.4% (97/111)), were licensed physicians (78.4% (87/111)), and had junior or intermediate professional titles (87.4% (97/111)). Post-training theoretical scores were significantly higher than pre-training scores (76.26±7.00 vs. 69.94±6.40, t=-10.45, P<0.001). All participants 100%(111/111) passed the final OSCE assessment. The mean scores for the OSCE stations were: patient consultation 85.99±7.30, clinical reasoning & decision-making 82.72±7.61, and clinical procedural skills 89.60±5.65. Satisfaction rates were 100.0% (111/111) for the overall program, the three-phase design, the core competency training content, theoretical training, clinical skills training, and clinical rotation departments. Satisfaction was 98.2% (109/111) for the 4-month full-time duration, 99.1% (110/111) for the "2+X" clinical rotation model (2 weeks each in General Practice and Emergency Medicine+elective rotations in 4 other departments), and 97.3% (108/111) for the primary care practice base. Conclusions:The competency-based rotation training program for primary care GPs in Taizhou effectively enhanced participants′ theoretical knowledge and clinical practical skills, and achieved high levels of participant satisfaction. This model offers valuable insights for optimizing primary care GP training in similar settings.

Background Due to the prominent particularity of medical work,nurses are prone to developing depression,which not only poses a considerable threat to the physical and mental health of nurses,but also affects the quality of nursing to some extent.Occupational stress is a known contributor to depression in nurses,whereas relatively little research has been done to investigate the underlying mediation path.Objective To explore the mediation effect of perceived organizational support and psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and depression among nurses,and to provide theoretical references for the prevention and treatment of occupational stress-induced depression in nurses.Methods From March to August 2019,a stratified random sampling method was utilized to select a sample size of 720 nurses in each department of a grade A tertiary hospital in Shandong Province.All subjects were assessed using Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire(ERI),Perceived Organization Support Questionnaire(POS),Psychological Capital Questionnaire(PCQ)and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D).Pearson correlation was adopted to examine the correlation among above scales,and multilevel mediation analyses were conducted with model 6 in Process macro(version 3.3)for SPSS 26.0 using Bootstrap re-sampling method.Results A total of 658 nurses(91.39%)completed the effective questionnaire survey.ERI score was positively correlated with CES-D score(r=0.499,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with POS and PCQ scores(r=-0.318,-0.275,P<0.01).POS score was positively correlated with PCQ score(r=0.455,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with CES-D score(r=-0.401,P<0.01).PCQ score was negatively correlated with CES-D score(r=-0.567,P<0.01).The total effect value of occupational stress on depression was 0.466(95%CI:0.399～0.534).Perceived organizational support(indirect effect value of 0.027,95%CI:0.006～0.057)and psychological capital(indirect effect value of 0.059,95%CI:0.013～0.120),separately from each other,mediated the relationship between occupational stress and depression,and a chained mediation effect of perceived organizational support and psychological capital was also demonstrated(indirect effect value of 0.051,95%CI:0.031～0.082),accounting for 10.94%of the total effect.Conclusion Occupational stress is a influencing factor of nurses' depression,which can affect the occurrence of depression both directly and indirectly through either separate or chained mediation of perceived organizational support and psychological capital.

In 2022, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) issued Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebral Hemorrhage (2022). This evidence-based guidelines provide treatment recommendations of cerebral hemorrhage. In particular, the guidelines emphasize the concepts of cerebral small-vessel disease, treatment of anticoagulant-related cerebral hemorrhage, and early rehabilitation at home. The authors interprets this guideline based on relevant research progress.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided midline catheter placement on the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in severe emergency patients.Methods:Five hundred and twenty-nine patients were chosen as the research objects from March 2018 to December 2019 at Emergency Intensive Care Unit, which was divided into the experimental group ( n=278) and the control group ( n=251). In the experimental group, ultrasound-guided midline catheter was used as central venous catheter (CVC) removal method of sequential, and in the control group, peripheral venous indwelling needle was used as sequential method after removal of CVC. CVC, midline catheter and the indwelling time of indwelling needle were counted. The utilization rate of CVC was compared between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to describe the CVC indwelling time of the two groups and log-rank test was performed. Cox regression analysis was performed to analyze the influencing factors of CVC indwelling time and compare the incidence of CRBSI and other catheter-related complications. Results:The CVC indwelling time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (8 d vs. 13 d, P=0.000). The CVC utilization rate of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (49.83% vs. 80.45%, P=0.000). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that difficult intravenous access, length of ICU stay, the site of catheter placement, and midline catheter implantation without ultrasound-guidance were independent risk factors for prolonged CVC indwelling time ( P=0.000). The CRBSI rate of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (0.571‰ vs. 3.802‰, P=0.038). There was no significant difference in the incidence of other catheter-related complications between the two groups ( P=0.403). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided midline catheter implantation can shorten the indwelling time of CVC, reduce the utilization rate of CVC, and reduce the incidence of CRBSI, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Triterpenoids are a class of natural products of great commercial value that are widely used in pharmaceutical, health care and cosmetic industries. The biosynthesis of triterpenoids relies on the efficient synthesis of squalene epoxide, which is synthesized from the NADPH dependent oxidation of squalene catalyzed by squalene epoxidase. We screened squalene epoxidases derived from different species, and found the truncated squalene epoxidase from Rattus norvegicus (RnSETC) showed the highest activity in engineered Escherichia coli. Further examination of the effect of endogenous cytochrome P450 reductase like (CPRL) proteins showed that overexpression of NADH: quinone oxidoreductase (WrbA) under Lac promoter in a medium-copy number plasmid increased the production of squalene epoxide by nearly 2.5 folds. These results demonstrated that the constructed pathway led to the production of squalene epoxide, an important precursor for the biosynthesis of triterpenoids.

Purpose: Platelet-related indices, including mean platelet volume (MPV) and plateletocrit (PCT), have been reported as new prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in many cancers, but not yet in biliary tract cancer (BTC). We intended to assess these indices in predicting OS in BTC patients with the aim to build a new prognostic model for patients with BTC after surgical resection. Materials and Methods: Survival analysis and time receiver operating characteristic analysis were applied to screen the platelet indices. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors and develop a new prognostic model. Harrell’s C-statistics, calibration curves, and decisive curve analysis were used to assess the model. Results: MPV and platelet distribution width (PDW)/PCT showed the best prognostic accuracy among the platelet indices. In multivariable analysis, factors predictive of poor OS were presence of nodal involvement, Non-radical surgery, poor tumor differentiation, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 > 100 U/mL, MPV > 8.1 fl, and PDW/PCT > 190. The new model was found to be superior to the TNM staging system and our new staging system showed higher discriminative power. Conclusion MPV and PDW/PCT have high prognostic value in BTC patients, and the novel staging system based on these two indices showed good discrimination and accuracy compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th TNM staging system.
