This narrative review examines the challenges, strategies, and future directions in the development of young teachers within the pathophysiology departments of Chinese medical colleges. A thorough review of 49 studies published between 2013 and 2024 was carried out using PubMed, Web of Science, and various Chinese databases. The primary challenges identified include teaching innovation (cited in 84.2% of the studies), research pressure (91.2%), disciplinary characteristics (87.7%), and career development (80.7%). Medical schools have responded by enhancing training systems (94.7%), innovating teaching methods (93.0%), and bolstering research support (96.5%). Looking ahead, trends are shifting toward the application of new technologies, interdisciplinary integration, and international collaboration. The focus on cultivating young teachers is increasingly geared towards personalization and diversification, which are essential for advancing education in pathophysiology. High-quality young teachers are pivotal in raising teaching standards, fostering research innovation, and facilitating interdisciplinary exchanges. Based on these insights, we recommend several practical measures to enhance the quality of pathophysiology education in China. These include establishing comprehensive training programs that integrate teaching innovation and research skills; developing structured mentorship systems with clear pathways for career advancement; creating platforms that support technology-enhanced teaching and international collaboration; and implementing systematic evaluation mechanisms to assess teaching effectiveness. These targeted interventions will require a coordinated effort from department heads, educational institutions, and policymakers to ensure a sustained improvement in the quality of pathophysiology education.

Eight previously undescribed lanostane triterpenoids, including five nortriterpenoids with 26 carbons, ganothenoids A-E (1-5), and three lanostanoids, ganothenoids F-H (6-8), along with 24 known ones (9-32), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganodrma theaecolum. The structures of the novel compounds were elucidated using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) calculations. Compounds 1-32 were assessed for their neuroprotective effects against H2O2-induced damage in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, as well as their inhibitory activities against protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and α-glucosidase. Compound 4 demonstrated the most potent neuroprotective activity against H2O2-induced oxidative stress by suppressing G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and inhibiting cell apoptosis through modulation of B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X-protein (Bax) protein expression. Compounds 26, 12, and 28 exhibited PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC50 values ranging from 13.92 to 56.94 μmol·L-1, while compound 12 alone displayed significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 43.56 μmol·L-1. Additionally, enzyme kinetic analyses and molecular docking simulations were conducted for compounds 26 and 12 with PTP1B and α-glucosidase, respectively.

Objective To investigate the values of degree centrality (DC),a novel resting-state fMRI parameter,in voxel-wise whole-brain ftmctional networks analysis in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Methods The resting-state functional MR imaging was performed in 21 IBS patients and 21 age-,education level-,and gender-matched normal healthy subjects,collected in our hospital from August 2013 to January 2015.DC map changes between the two patient groups were compared by two sample t test.Results As compared with the control group,patients with IBS showed significantly reduced DC values in right superior frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus of orbital part,middle temporal gyrus and precuneus.Conclusion Changes of DC value occurr in some regions of brain in the IBS patients;DC,as a novel resting-state functional MRI parameter in the voxel-wise whole-brain functional networks,might be an appealing altemative index for further studying on pathologic and neuropsychological states of IBS.

Background and purpose: The metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) is highly expressed in different cancers and has an effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells through the regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway. However, the role of MACC1 in ovarian cancer has been rarely studied. The study was aimed to suppress MACC1 gene expression by siRNA and explore the relationship between MACC1 expression and chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP. Methods:Empty plasmid p-super-EGFP-1 (negative control group) and p-super-EGFP-MACC1 shRNA (experimental group) were transfected into ovarian cancer cell SKOV3/DDP respectively. SKOV3/DDP cells without transfection were used as blank group. Then, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and IC50 of cisplatin was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium test (MTT). Apoptosis rate was determined by lfow cytometer (FCM). ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 protein levels were determined by Western blot. Results:Compared with those in blank and negative control groups, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels deceased in experimental group. The IC50 of cisplatin in experimental group was lower than that in the other groups (26.094 vs 47.501/47.089μmol/L, P<0.05). There was a lower expression of p-ERK1/2 in experimental group (0.3979 vs 00.6712/0.6681, P<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the experimental group before and after treatment of cisplatin (1.32%vs 0.66%/0.48%, P<0.05;36.70%vs 18.53%/16.60%, P=0.000). Conclusion:MACC1 gene may be involved in cisplatin resistance phenomenon in SKOV3/DDP cells through ERK1/2 pathway.
