Objective To investigate the fatigue and workload status among medical students,and to explore the latent profiles of fatigue and workload and their effects on sleep and emotion.Methods A cross-sectional study design with convenience sampling was employed to distribute a comprehensive survey via mixed online and offline modes,and medical college students were enrolled as the subjects for this investigation.The general demographic data,depression,anxiety and stress scale,Pittsburgh sleep quality index,Epworth sleepiness scale,insomnia severity index,National Aeronautics and Space Administration task load index(NASA-TLX)and fatigue scale-14(FS-14)were used to investigate the basic information of the medical students,their emotions(depression,anxiety and stress),sleep(sleep quality,sleepiness and insomnia),workload and fatigue status.Based on latent profile analysis,the types of workload-fatigue profiles and differences in sleep and emotion were analyzed.Results A total of 485 medical students were enrolled,with an average age of(22.07±2.42)years.The total score of the NASA-TLX was 64.44±12.50,and the total score of the FS-14 was 7.90±3.63.Latent profile analysis identified 3 distinct workload-fatigue profiles:low workload-medium fatigue group(12.8％),medium workload-low fatigue group(32.8％),and high workload-high fatigue group(54.4％).Among these,the medium workload-low fatigue group exhibited the highest performance level(all P＜0.05),while the low workload-medium fatigue group showed the lowest effort level and performance level(all P＜0.05).The high workload-high fatigue group showed the highest task-related demand and frustration level(all P＜0.05).Regarding sleep and emotional status,the medium workload-low fatigue group had significantly better outcomes compared to the high workload-high fatigue group and the low workload-medium fatigue group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Medical students experience a heavy workload and subjective fatigue.It is essential to appropriately adjust their workload,prioritize sleep and emotional well-being,and alleviate fatigue levels,so as to sustain personal physical and mental health.

Objective:To explore the distinctions between different educational levels: stability of learning state, views on and demand for online courses, and further investigate the influencing factors.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire with good reliability and validity was conducted, and all the students in a military medical university were selected by cluster sampling method, and the data were collected by issuing a network questionnaire. SPSS 26.0 was used for data processing.Results:Undergraduates were different from graduates and doctoral students in stability of learning state, the period of home study: doctoral students (2.41±1.30) h < graduates (2.10±1.17) h and undergraduates (2.15±0.99) h; the frequency of using online courses: undergraduates (4.18±1.10) times > graduates (3.29±1.16) times and doctoral students (3.29±0.98) times. In terms of views on online courses, necessity: undergraduates (4.14± 1.01) > graduates (3.93±1.05) and doctoral students (3.78±1.03); familiarity: undergraduates (3.42 ± 0.91) > graduates (3.27±0.97); adaptability: undergraduates (3.79±0.91) > graduates (3.58±0.94) and doctoral students (3.63±0.97); likability: undergraduates (3.36±1.04) > undergraduates (3.25±0.96) and doctoral students (3.17 ± 1.01); teaching effect: undergraduates (2.80±1.04) > graduates (2.67±1.01) and doctoral students (2.61±1.03). In terms of demand for online courses, ideal number: undergraduates (2.52±1.27) > graduates (2.11±1.21) and doctoral students (2.01±1.25); class style: undergraduates (1.77±0.94) > graduates (2.00±0.92) and doctoral students (2.04±1.83). There were statistically significant differences between undergraduates and postgraduates in all dimensions ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion:Undergraduates may be more susceptible to academic environment than graduates and doctoral students, showing that the learning stability of undergraduates is the relatively the worst. Undergraduates most recognize online courses, and different educational levels have different demands for online courses.

Genome packaging is a fundamental process in a viral life cycle and a prime target of antiviral drugs. Herpesviruses use an ATP-driven packaging motor/terminase complex to translocate and cleave concatemeric dsDNA into procapsids but its molecular architecture and mechanism are unknown. We report atomic structures of a herpesvirus hexameric terminase complex in both the apo and ADP•BeF3-bound states. Each subunit of the hexameric ring comprises three components-the ATPase/terminase pUL15 and two regulator/fixer proteins, pUL28 and pUL33-unlike bacteriophage terminases. Distal to the nuclease domains, six ATPase domains form a central channel with conserved basic-patches conducive to DNA binding and trans-acting arginine fingers are essential to ATP hydrolysis and sequential DNA translocation. Rearrangement of the nuclease domains mediated by regulatory domains converts DNA translocation mode to cleavage mode. Our structures favor a sequential revolution model for DNA translocation and suggest mechanisms for concerted domain rearrangements leading to DNA cleavage.

Objective To study the feasibility and value of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to monitor non?arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Methods Thirty eight NAION patients (56 eyes) were divided into acute period in 17 eyes, progressive period in 16 eyes and chronic period in 23 eyes at the base of onset time. According to matching principle, 56 eyes in 38 normal controls (NCs) were enrolled. All the patients and NCs underwent MR and DTI scan. The raw data were processed by two experienced radiologists, mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivities (λ//), radial diffusivities (λ┴), fractional anisotropy (FA) and Length value were got. The independent sample t test was used for the parameter values between the NAION group and the NCs group. A single factor variance analysis was used to compare the parameters among different stages of NAION group. Results Compared to the NCs group, the values of FA and Length in NAION group were reduced [0.20±0.11 vs 0.31±0.12, (5.85±0.92) vs (65.11± 6.89) mm], and the differences were statistically significant (t=-4.28,-5.25;P<0.05). The values of MD andλ┴were increased [(0.16±0.04)×10-3 vs (0.10±0.04)×10-3 mm2/s, (0.16±0.05)×10-3 vs (0.09±0.03)×10-3 mm2/s] in NAION group and the differences were statistically significant (t=6.83, 7.10;P<0.05). The value of FA and Length in acute period, progressive period and chronic period of the NAION group decreased differently compared to the NCs group. At the same time, the value of MD value and λ┴in the three periods of the NAION group increased compared to the NCs groupand the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The value of FA between the acute period, the progressive period, and the chronic period of NAION group were statistically signficant (F=10.88, P<0.05). However, no significant differences were found in the values of MD, λ┴and Length of the NAION group (F=0.23, 0.64, 0.33, 1.38;P=0.79, 0.54, 0.72, 0.27). Conclusion The parameters of DTI can be used to monitor the damage of optic nerve and development in NAION.

Objective Studies have shown that problem based learning (PBL) can improve the students' ability of autonomous learning.However,it is unclear whether students' autonomous learning ability will affect students' evaluation in PBL teaching.This study took medical psychology course as an example to explore the influence of medical students' autonomous learning ability on PBL teaching effect.Methods 43 8-year program medical students of Grade 2010 and 2011 were enrolled in this study.Scale was used to assess medical students' autonomous learning ability before the start of the PBL teaching.Self made questionnaire was used to survey the students' evaluation in PBL teaching.Linear correlation analysis was used to detect the relationship between medical students' autonomous learning ability and students' evaluation in PBL teaching and their examination results.Results Medical students' autonomous leaming ability is significantly positively correlated to the students' evaluation of PBL teaching (P＜0.05).The correlation coefficient between learning motivation and "PBL enhanced learning interest" or "PBL enhanced information utilization ability" was high (r=0.507 and 0.536,respectively).It showed that students with stronger autonomous learning ability had more positive evaluation of PBL teaching.The students' learning motivation was also positively correlated to the test score (r=0.416,P=0.006).Students with stronger learning motivation had higher test score in the final exam.Conclusion These results indicate that the relationship between the students' autonomous learning ability and PBL teaching is bidirectional.The students with more powerful ability of autonomous learning will be more active in the process of PBL teaching,and the positive experience will promote their autonomous learning ability in turn.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of mental health,job burnout and mental fatigue in mental workers.METHODS: A total of 276 mental workers in 11 research institutes in Ningxia were selected as research subjects by convenient sampling method. The questionnaire survey was carried out using the scales of Self-Reporting Inventory( SCL-90),Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and Mental Fatigue subscale of Fatigue Scale-14 to investigate the workers' mental health,job burnout and mental fatigue. RESULTS: The scores of SCL-90 and job burnout in mental workers were( 142. 4 ± 42. 2) and( 41. 8 ± 10. 5). The medium( P25,P75) mental fatigue total score was [3. 0( 2. 0,4. 0) ].The correlation analysis showed that the total score of SCL-90 was positively correlated with that of mental fatigue and job burnout( P < 0. 01). The job burnout was the intermediate variable between mental fatigue and mental health( 43. 4% of the total effect). The dimension of low sense of accomplishment was the regulating variable. CONCLUSION: Job burnout plays an intermediate role between mental fatigue and mental health in mental workers. The low sense of accomplishment plays a regulatory role.

According to the course characteristics and teaching outline of medical psychology,problem-based learning (PBL) case about somatoform disorders was compiled based on a typical clinical real case.The PBL case covered a wide range of topics such as basic medicine,clinical medicine and medical psychology.Just as clinical treatment process,teachers gave information and put forward the corresponding questions in successive steps.By self-study and group discussion,students learned knowledge about anxiety,somatoform disorders,therapeutic relationship,sociocultural factors and individual personality.The course survey showed that PBL teaching was appreciated by medical students.The PBL model can improve learning interest and self-study ability,promote the connection of different subjects and combine theory and practice.The PBL model is useful for improving the quality of medical psychology teaching.
