With the proposal and development of new technologies, new methods, and new education theories, the research on medical education and teaching has been conducted extensively. The theories, methods, and management mode of the research on medical education and teaching are keeping pace with the times and thus promote the rapid improvement in teaching ability, medical talents, and the training level of medical humanities. However, current studies on medical education and teaching focus too much on the innovation of education theories, methods, and management and neglect the aspects such as educational ethics, student awareness, and assessment of potential benefits and risks. In addition, the lack of unified implementation and supervision standards in the whole process management of education research is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently, especially in empirical studies, which brings great challenges to the standardized implementation of education research. By performing an analogy with the clinical trial research system and summarizing education research and educational ethics, this study, for the first time, proposes a set of standardized and systematic medical education and research standards, including the paradigms of classification, staging and different stages. These standards provide a theoretical basis for implementing medical education research, improving the education compliance of target students, fully guaranteeing the benefits of target students, and avoiding the risks in education research, which provides a reference for standardized education research in other disciplines.

Objective:To compare the antiplatelet effects of vicagrel and clopidogrel in patients with different cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotypes.Methods:This is a post-hoc analysis of a phase Ⅱ clinical trial of vicagrel, which included patients with coronary heart disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention from August 2018 to June 2019 in 18 centers. Patients were categorized based on the presence of CYP 2C19 *2 or *3 loss-of-function (LOF) alleles into LOF carrier group ( n=111) and non-LOF carrier group ( n=90). Each group included patients received vicagrel 5 mg, 6 mg, 7.5 mg, or clopidogrel 75 mg for 28 days per study protocol. P2Y 12 reaction units (PRU) were measured using VerifyNow at baseline, 6 to 8 hours after loading dose, 7 to 10 days after randomization, and 28 days after randomization and the percentage inhibition of platelet aggregation (%IPA) was calculated. The primary endpoint was %IPA on day 28. Within the patients from the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, 8 to 12 patients in each study arms were enrolled in a prespecified pharmacokinetic sub-study, measuring the time to reach maximum plasma concentration (T max), peak plasma concentration (C max), and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC). Results:Among 201 patients, the age was (58.8±8.5) years, and 139 (69.2%) were male. In non-LOF carriers, there was no significant differences in PRU values and %IPA between the vicagrel 5 mg, 6 mg, 7 mg, and clopidogrel groups at all time points (all P>0.05). In LOF carriers, %IPA was significantly higher in the vicagrel-treated groups than in the clopidogrel group at 6-8 hours after loading dose (22.9 (14.2, 31.5)% vs. 19.8 (11.0, 28.6)% vs. 29.5 (20.9, 38.0)% vs. 12.9 (3.9, 21.9)%, P=0.038) and 7-10 days after randomization (22.4 (14.2, 30.5)% vs. 34.4 (26.1, 42.6)% vs. 39.8 (31.8, 47.9)% vs. 24.7 (16.3, 33.2)%, P=0.001), with a trend towards higher %IPA in the vicagrel-treated groups at day 28 (30.4 (21.3, 39.6)% vs. 36.5 (27.2, 45.7)% vs. 40.8 (31.8, 49.8)% vs. 30.7(21.2, 40.2)%, P=0.056). Pharmacokinetic results of 35 patients showed that the C max and AUC of the active metabolite M15-2 of vicagrel was similar to that of clopidogrel in non-LOF carriers, but AUC between vicagrel 5 mg, 6 mg, 7 mg and clopidogrel were significantly different in LOF carriers ((5.6±0.6) h·μg -1·L -1 vs. (6.8±2.7) h·μg -1·L -1 vs. (9.2±3.3) h·μg -1·L -1 vs. (4.2±1.9) h·μg -1·ml -1, P=0.020). Conclusion:Vicagrel and clopidogrel have similar antiplatelet effects in non-LOF carriers, but vicagrel exhibits superior antiplatelet effects in LOF carriers.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Sanhuang Tangshenkang on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the bone tissue of diabetic rats. MethodA high-sugar and high-fat diet was administered for 4 weeks, along with intraperitoneal injection of freshly prepared 2% streptozotocin (pH 4.5) at 30 mg·kg-1 body weight to induce a diabetes model in rats. The rats with diabetes were randomly divided into model group, low- and high-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang groups (12.8, 38.4 g·kg-1), and Gushukang group (1.8 g·kg-1) according to the blood glucose level. Rats of the same age were fed on a regular diet and assigned to the control group. After 12 weeks of respective treatments with drugs or physiological saline, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels of the rats were measured using an automated biochemical analyzer. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect fasting serum insulin (FINS), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) levels. Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) was used to scan the femurs of rats to observe bone tissue microstructure and measure bone mineral density (BMD). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and safranin O/fast green staining were performed to observe pathological changes in the femoral bone tissue. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of Wnt3a, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP-5), and β-catenin proteins. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed a significant increase in FBG, FINS, and TRAP levels (P<0.01), a significant decrease in BALP level (P<0.01), a significant decrease in BMD (P<0.01), and disorganized, elongated, and sparse bone trabecular structures with fractures and increased lipid droplets. Additionally, the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the low- and high-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang groups showed a reduction in FBG and an increase in BALP (P<0.05). The low-dose Sanhuang Tangshenkang group also exhibited a decrease in FINS (P<0.05). All treatment groups showed a significant decrease in TRAP (P<0.01), varying degrees of improvement in BMD (P<0.05, P<0.01)), increased and denser bone trabeculae with more regular arrangements and reduced lipid droplets, and improved bone microstructure morphology. The average optical density values of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins were significantly increased in all drug-treated groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins was elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSanhuang Tangshenkang may regulate the imbalance of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by increasing the expression of Wnt3a, LRP-5, and β-catenin proteins in bone tissue, which may promote bone formation, reduce bone resorption, and lower blood glucose levels, thereby achieving the effect of preventing and treating diabetic osteoporosis.

【Objective】 To develop a prognosis model based on CT images using radiomics method for patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and to investigate the additional prediction value of the imaging features of the contralateral normal femoral head regions for the prognosis prediction. 【Methods】 A total of 51 patients were included in this retrospective study. All the patients had preoperative CT images. For each patient, two regions of interest (ROIs) were involved, including the osteonecrosis region and the contralateral normal femoral head region. A total of 968 radiomics features were extracted for each patient. We made both the univariate and multivariable analyses. Three models were developed based on the features of osteonecrosis region, contralateral normal femoral head region, and both regions. The 10 times of repeated random experiments were used for model construction and validation. The average performance of the 10 times of experiments was reported as the results. 【Results】 For the features of osteonecrosis region, 37 features showed significant predictive value, with the mean AUC value of 0.708 2±0.029 9. The AUC of the constructed prediction model was 0.911 0±0.029 4 and 0.688 6±0.089 3 for the training set and validation set, respectively. For the features of contralateral normal femoral head region, 14 features showed significant predictive value, with the mean AUC value of 0.703 6±0.006 9. The AUC value of the constructed model for the training set and validation set was 0.867 2±0.039 5 and 0.669 0±0.072 6, respectively. For the models developed based on combined features, the AUC value was higher than that of the models developed based on osteonecrosis region features (training set: 0.935 8±0.016 6 vs. validation set: 0.737 9±0.090 8). 【Conclusion】 We developed a novel CT images-based radiomics method to predict postoperative prognosis in patients with ONFH. Furthermore, the features of contralateral normal femoral head region has additional prediction value. Combining the imaging features of osteonecrosis region and contralateral normal femoral head region can obtain more accurate prediction of prognosis in patients with ONFH.
