To implement the strategy of healthy China and promote the construction of "new medicine science", it is urgent to focus on new needs and challenges to advance the reform of medical education curricula in China. Using literature research methods, we summarize the process of modern medical education curriculum reforms in the United States, and discuss the main features of the third-round reforms—introducing the concept of value-based medicine, offering health systems science courses, and promoting the curriculum system reform from the perspectives of learning time, curriculum integration, and learning methods. Based on these features, we put forward the enlightenment for the reform of medical education curricula in China.

Diabetic ulcer （DU） wound is one of the chronic and serious complications of diabetes characterized by prolonged wound healing， and it is more common in foot and lower extremity ulcers. DU has brought great economic and psychological pressure to patients and seriously affected the quality of life of patients because of its great difficulty in treatment， long treatment process， and high morbidity and mortality. Therefore， how to help the rapid healing of DU wounds， reduce the disability rate and mortality rate， protect limb function， and improve the quality of life is an important topic and hot spot in the field of medical research. The pathogenesis of DU is complex， mainly including microcirculation disorder， peripheral neuropathy， inflammation and infection， and excessive apoptosis of cells， involving physiological processes such as wound inflammation， granulation tissue hyperplasia and re-epithelialization. A large number of previous studies have found that Chinese medicine can regulate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， Wnt/β-catenin， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， Notch， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）/Smad， and other signaling pathways， regulate abnormal glucose metabolism， improve microcirculation， inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress， regulate cell proliferation and excessive apoptosis， and promote wound tissue growth to promote the rapid healing of DU wounds under the guidance of treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome differentiation and internal and external treatment. Therefore， this paper reviewed Chinese medicinal monomers or Chinese medicinal compounds in recent years in regulating the above signaling pathways and the expression of key protein molecules and promoting the rapid healing of DU wounds， aiming to provide ideas and a theoretical basis for the in-depth study and clinical application of Chinese medicine in promoting the healing of DU wounds.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,it has been found that some traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of the skin flap,promote vascular regeneration of the skin flap and prevent skin flap necrosis by activating autophagy. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer regulating autophagy in preventing flap necrosis. METHODS:The Chinese and English key words were"traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),autophagy,skin flaps".The first author searched the relevant articles published in CNKI and PubMed databases from January 2010 to October 2022.A total of 196 articles were retrieved in the preliminary screening and then screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quality assessment was conducted by reading the literature titles and abstracts.Finally,55 articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The regulation of autophagy is mediated by AMPK/mTOR,PI3K/AKT and other signaling pathways.Activation of autophagy can alleviate the oxidative stress and apoptosis of the flap,promote the regeneration of blood vessels in the flap,and prevent flap necrosis.(2)Terpenoids(Betulinic acid,Andrographolide,Notoginseng Triterpenes,Catalpa),phenolic compounds(Resveratrol,Curcumin,Gastrodin),phenolic acids(Salvianolic acid B)and steroid compounds(Pseudoginsenoside F11)in traditional Chinese medicine monomers can alleviate oxidative stress and apoptosis of skin flap by regulating related signaling pathways to activate autophagy,promote skin flap angiogenesis and promote skin flap survival.(3)Studying the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine monomer to prevent flap necrosis by regulating autophagy can provide a reference and theoretical basis for traditional Chinese medicine to prevent flap necrosis and promote flap healing in the clinic.

Objective To explore the effect of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) femtosecond laser in the treatment of myopic astigmatism with thin cornea. Methods From September 2022 to September 2023, 128 patients with thin cornea myopic astigmatism in the hospital were selected and randomly divided into FS-LASIK group (64 cases, 128 eyes, receiving FS-LASIK) and SMILE group (64 cases, 124 eyes, receiving SMILE). The visual acuity [uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)] before surgery and at 1 year after surgery, refractive parameter spherical equivalent (SE) at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, corneal surface morphology [average corneal curvature (K_Ave), surface regularity index (SRI), surface asymmetry index (SAI)] before surgery and at 1 year after surgery, corneal biomechanic indicators[corneal expansion comprehensive deviation analysis index (BAD-D), corneal biomechanical index (CBI), total biomechanical index (TBI)] and corneal injury degree [corneal endothelial cell count, corneal endothelial cell size, coefficient of variation (CV)] and differences in postoperative astigmatism correction vector indicators [magnitude of error (ME), angle of error (AE), correction index (CI), and index of success (IOS)] were compared. Residual stromal bed thickness and the incidence of complications after surgery were recorded. Results One year after surgery, both UCVA and BCVA in both groups were improved compared with preoperation (P < 0.05), but there were no significant between-group differences (P>0.05). At 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, the SE levels in both groups were higher than preoperation (P < 0.05); however, there were no statistically significant differences in SE levels between the groups at above time points (P>0.05). One year after surgery, K_Ave, SRI, and SAI in both groups were lower than preoperative levels, and the SMILE group was lower than those in the FS-LASIK group (P < 0.05). One year after operation, BAD-D and TBI in both groups were higher than preoperative levels, while CBI was lower than preoperative levels; however, BAD-D and TBI in the SMILE group were lower than those in the FS-LASIK group, and CBI was higher than that in the FS-LASIK group (P < 0.05). One year after surgery, corneal endothelial cell counts in both groups were lower than preoperative levels, and CV of corneal endothelial cell size was higher than preoperative levels; however, corneal endothelial cell count in the SMILE group were higher than those in the FS-LASIK group, and the CV of corneal endothelial cell size was lower than that in the FS-LASIK group (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in ME, AE, CI, and IOS between the two groups (P>0.05). The residual stromal bed thickness was (302.01±55.03) μm in the FS-LASIK group and (310.23±46.03) μm in the SMILE group after surgery, with no statistically significant between-group difference (t=1.284, P=0.200). One year after surgery, there were 5 cases of dry eye in the FS-LASIK group and 2 cases in the SMILE group, with no statistically significant difference in incidence of dry eye between the two groups (χ²=1.227, P=0.268). Conclusion For patients with myopic astigmatism with thin cornea, both FS-LASIK and SMILE can achieve satisfactory improvement in visual acuity and refractive state, and the latter one has a relatively small impact on the integrity of corneal structure, biomechanical stability and surgical injury.

【Objective】 To observe the effect of Xiaozhongzhitong Mixture on ischemia-reperfusion injury of rat skin flaps and p38MAPK-PPARγ/NF-κB signaling pathway. 【Methods】 After flap operation, the survival of rat back flaps and flap survival rate were observed. HE staining, TUNEL staining, and qRT-PCR were used to detect the degree of nuclear destruction, as well as the distribution characteristics and mRNA expression levels of p38MAPK, PPARγ, and Nf-κB in vascular endothelial cells of rat flaps, respectively. 【Results】 The flap survival area in sham operation group was the largest, and it was the smallest in model control group and PPARγ inhibitor group. HE staining and TUNEL staining results showed that the flap tissue cells of rats in model control group and PPARγ inhibitor group were severely damaged and obvious apoptotic cells were seen. In model group, rats’ skin flap tissue cells were arranged in a single layer, and the nucleus was intact and clear. qRT-PCR experiment results showed that compared with model group, the expressions of p38MAPK and Nf-κb in the flap tissue of rats in Xiaozhong Zhicong Mixture group were inhibited (P<0.05), while the expression of PPARγ was increased (P<0.05). When the blocker was added, the expressions of p38MAPK, NF-κB and PPARγ in the flap tissue were further suppressed. 【Conclusion】 Xiaozhongzhitong Mixture can alleviate the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the rat model of skin flap ischemia-reperfusion injury, reduce inflammation and the production of apoptotic cells, thereby alleviating the ischemia-reperfusion injury of skin flaps and promoting the survival of the flaps. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of p38MAPK-PPARγ/NF-κB signaling pathway.

MicroRNA-21(miRNA-21)is highly expressed in various tumors.Small-molecule inhibition of miRNA-21 is considered to be an attractive novel cancer therapeutic strategy.In this study,fluoroquinolone de-rivatives Al-A43 were synthesized and used as miRNA-21 inhibitors.Compound A36 showed the most potent inhibitory activity and specificity for miRNA-21 in a dual-luciferase reporter assay in HeLa cells.Compound A36 significantly reduced the expression of mature miRNA-21 and increased the protein expression of miRNA-21 target genes,including programmed cell death protein 4(PDCD4)and phos-phatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN),at 10 uM in HeLa cells.The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay(CCK-8)was used to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of A36;the results showed that the IC50 value range of A36 against six tumor cell lines was between 1.76 and 13.0 μM.Meanwhile,A36 did not display cytotoxicity in BEAS-2B cells(lung epithelial cells from a healthy human donor).Furthermore,A36 significantly induced apoptosis,arrested cells at the G0/G1 phase,and inhibited cell-colony formation in HeLa cells.In addition,mRNA deep sequencing showed that treatment with A36 could generate 171 dysregulated mRNAs in HeLa cells,while the expression of miRNA-21 target gene dual-specificity phosphatase 5(DUSP5)was significantly upregulated at both the mRNA and protein levels.Collectively,these findings demonstrated that A36 is a novel miRNA-21 inhibitor.

Medical Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes the traditional doctor-patient relationship present a new pattern, but also highlights many ethical problems: inability to protect the rights and interests of patients, weakening the main responsibility of medical personnel, weakening the practical ability of medical personnel, and challenging the main status of medical personnel, etc.. It is necessary to improve relevant laws, regulations and regulatory system, adhere to the main status of medical personnel, improve the public awareness and acceptance of medical AI, and strengthen the construction of ethical system of AI, so as to deal with the ethical anomie caused by intelligent medical treatment and promote the harmonious development of doctor-patient relationship. It is expected that through the combination of AI and professional ethics principles, AI will be brought into daily clinical practice responsibly, to provide patients with better medical services.

OBJECTIVEUsing simultaneous multi-gene mutation screening to investigate the new method molecular epidemiological basis of 225 patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss in Tianjin, and verifying the for simultaneous multi-gene mutation screening.

METHODSTwo hundred and twenty-five patients with severe non-syndromic deafness from Tianjin CDPF and Association of the Deaf were included in the study. The single nucleotide polymorphisms scan, (SNPscan) technique was used for screening the 115 spots mutations in three common deafness-related genes (GJB2, SLC26A4, mtDNA 12S rRNA) of patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss in Tianjin. We verified the results by Sanger sequencing.

RESULTSAmong the 225 patients, there were 111 cases of deafness caused by mutation (49.3%). Using this method, up to 50% of the patients in our study were identified to have hereditary HL caused by mutations in the three genes. 56 patients with the GJB2 mutations were detected (24.9%), including 30 cases of homozygous mutations (13.3%), 26 patients (11.6%) of compound heterozygous mutations, and 21 cases (9.33%) of single heterozygous mutations. 50 patients with the SLC26A4 mutations were detected (22.2%), including 22 cases of homozygous mutations(9.8%), 28 patients (12.4%) of compound heterozygous mutations, and 22 cases (9.8%) of single heterozygous mutations. mtDNA 12S rRNA A1555G mutation was detected in 5 patients (2.2%). mtDNA 12S rRNA 1494C>T mutation was not detected. We verified the results by Sanger sequencing. The accuracy of the sequencing results was 100%. The SNPscan cost eight hours and 160 yuan (each sample).

CONCLUSIONSApplying SNPscan technology can be accurate, rapid and cost-effective diagnostic screening in patients with hearing loss for etiology investigation. It is expected to become an effective means of large-scale genetic testing for hereditary deafness.
