Objective:To focus on clinical mini-lectures characterized by flexible teaching formats and significant challenges in scoring during supervision, systematically explore the roles and characteristics of raw scores (directly assigned by supervisory experts) and standard scores (revealing the relative position of instructors withing the group through Z-score conversion) in evaluating the teaching level and development trends of residency training teachers, investigate the feasibility of flexibly combining these two scoring methods, and provide new ideas for comprehensive, scientific, and objective teaching evaluations. Methods:In May 2024, 24 teachers who were supervised by three or more experts at a standardized training base for residents from 2019 to 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The study analyzed differences in mean rankings and development trends between raw and standard scores. Excel and SPSS were used for score transformation and statistical analysis of differences.Results:The mean rankings of standard scores differed from those of raw scores for 17 (70.83%) teaching staff members, among which 8 (33.33%) had a lower mean ranking of standard scores than raw scores, and 9 (37.50%) had an improved mean ranking of standard scores. For 10 (41.67%) teaching staff members, the differences in raw scores given among different supervisors were reversed after standardization conversion. The changes in the trends of scores for 17 (70.83%) teaching staff members throughout the years were inconsistent before and after score conversion.Conclusions:There were significant differences between the statistical results of standard scores and raw scores, and the two types of results evaluated the teaching level of teachers in terms of absolute situation and their relative positions in the entire teaching staff group, respectively. Therefore, combining the two types of scores with distinct characteristics for teaching evaluation can help teaching management departments comprehensively and objectively reveal the teaching level of teachers, while enhancing the confidence of faculty in teaching.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of designing a training program for faculty supervisory specialists guided by adult learning theory.Methods:Based on the theory of adult learning, we designed a training program for faculty supervisory specialists in standardized residency training. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect satisfaction and learning outcomes from 31 trainees who participated in this training program from 2019 to 2022. SPSS 25.0 was used to conduct nonparametric tests of supervisory course ratings for four core teaching activities in 2019 and 2022.Results:The study showed that 100.00% (31/31) of training participants were very satisfied or satisfied with the training content and training methods, 96.77% (30/31) were very satisfied or satisfied with the training sessions, and 90.32%(28/31) of training participants felt that they had mastered the supervisory requirements. The course grades for mini-lectures ( Z=-3.01, P<0.05) and overall course supervision ( Z=-2.47, P<0.05) were significantly different between 2019 and 2022. Compared with 2019, the number of externally assigned instructors and externally assigned assessment experts increased significantly in 2022. The training program for faculty supervisory specialists has a high value for promotion. Conclusions:The supervisory specialist training program designed under the guidance of adult learning theory helps increase the interest of training participants in the training program and ultimately improves the effectiveness of the training program.

ObjectiveThis study explores the efficacy and pharmacological mechanism of Wujiwan in rats with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from the perspectives of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) signaling pathway and T-cell immunity, providing reference for the treatment of IBD with traditional Chinese medicine. MethodThe study involved administering 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) enemas to 35 rats to induce acute IBD. After 24 hours, the animals were divided into the following groups: normal group, model group, Wujiwan treatment group, and positive drug control group. Each group received gastric gavage for 8 consecutive days before the rats were dissected to compare the disease activity index (DAI) of the rat colon tissue, the colon mucosal damage index (CMDI), and the spleen index. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to determine the mRNA expression levels of T-bet (T-box expressed in T cells) and Gata3 (Gata-binding protein-3) in the colon tissue. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect the protein expression levels of PPARγ, T-bet, and nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) in the rat colon. ResultThe rat model of IBD was successfully established. Compared with the model group, the Wujiwan treatment group showed reduced DAI, CMDI, and spleen index, decreased content of TNF-α in the serum(P<0.01), significantly increased content of IL-10(P<0.01), and elevated mRNA content of T-bet and Gata3(P<0.05) in the colon tissue. The expression of PPARγ protein was augmented(P<0.05), and the expression of T-bet and NF-κB p65 protein was decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionWujiwan activates or upregulates PPARγ expression in IBD rats to inhibit the generation of pro-inflammatory factors, participates in the inflammatory immune process, and alleviates inflammatory reactions. Its mechanism may involve regulating the NF-κB pathway through PPARγ, enhancing Th2 cell transcription expression, and reducing Th1 cell transcription.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of application in China and has consistently played a vital role in treating diseases and saving lives. TCM prescriptions (compounds) constitute the primary form of clinical TCM treatment and significantly differ from western medicine (chemicals) due to the diverse composition and chemical constituents of TCM (compounds). Nevertheless, the potential multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway action characteristics of TCM prescriptions also demonstrate their possible (complementary) therapeutic advantages when compared with single-component chemical drugs. Therefore, driven by the development of modern science and technology and the demands of the modernization and internationalization of TCM, modern theories regarding the complexity of TCM prescription effects have been continuously proposed: Different from the abstract language of traditional prescription theory, the modern TCM prescription theory is more inclined to illustrate the connotation of prescription compatibility concretely and vividly from an experimental and scientific perspective. In this paper, new theories on the complexity of TCM prescriptions proposed in recent years are summarized to provide research references and ideas for the greater role of TCM prescriptions and a better scientific understanding.

Recently, small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) have transcended the genomic "noise" to emerge as pivotal molecular markers due to their essential roles in tumor progression. Substantial evidence indicates a strong association between snoRNAs and critical clinical features such as tumor pathology and drug resistance. Historically, snoRNA research has concentrated on two classical mechanisms: 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation. This review specifically summarizes the novel regulatory mechanisms and functional patterns of snoRNAs in tumors, encompassing transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational regulation. We further discuss the synergistic effect between snoRNA host genes (SNHGs) and snoRNAs in tumor progression. More importantly, snoRNAs extensively contribute to the development of tumor cell resistance as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Accordingly, we provide a comprehensive review of the clinical diagnosis and treatment associated with snoRNAs and explore their significant potential as novel drug targets.
