The new synergistic education model integrating the “five arts” medical talent cultivation philosophy and the red doctor spirit could form a virtuous cycle of “spiritual guidance-technological breakthrough-spiritual reshaping” in the field of military medical education. Addressing the existing challenges in the process of military medical cadets’ training, such as mission awareness, humanistic care, battlefield rescue, and emergency response, this study proposed integrating the red doctor spirit, characterized by political steadfastness, healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, selfless devotion, relentless pursuit of excellence, and seeking truth and innovation, into the training system under the guidance of the “five arts” philosophy, including establishing a foundation through Daoist arts, forging the soul with benevolence, empowering through academia, tempering through technology, and nurturing the mind through artistry. A cultivation model was constructed featuring “moral education as the priority and cultivating through soul-forging; military spirit as the root and medical professionalism as the foundation and training for warfare; mastery in medicine for battlefield success and cultivating talent through rigorous scholarship.” Furthermore, through pathways including the optimization and implementation of the curriculum system, the enhancement and innovation of practical teaching, the development and training of the faculty team, and the improvement and innovation of the evaluation system, this model assisted in achieve the goal of cultivating compound talents with “the red medicine essence plus the five arts foundation.” These talents also built their foundation on the “five arts” philosophy, forge their spirit with the red doctor spirit, and was tempered with battlefield adaptability.

BackgroundIn recent years, the incidence of depression among adolescents has been increasing steadily, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health and even leading to severe consequences such as self-harm and suicide. At the same time, the detection rate of subclinical depression symptoms among adolescents is even higher. Although these symptoms do not meet the clinical diagnostic criteria, they have significantly affected their quality of life, and their persistence over time may further develop into depression. Therefore, in-depth exploration of adolescent depression symptoms and the predictive factors holds significant practical significance and research value. However, up to now, no large-scale investigation and research on depression symptoms among children and adolescents has been conducted in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in order to provide references for formulating scientific and effective prevention strategies and intervention measures. MethodsBy using the cluster stratified random sampling method, 6 281 students from the third grade of primary school to the second grade of high school in 12 leagues and cities of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were selected in March 2024. A self-designed questionnaire and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used for on-site investigation. ResultsA total of 6 058 (96.45%) children and adolescents completed the valid questionnaire survey, and 2 728 cases (45.03%) were found to have depressive symptoms. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents of different genders, ages, whether they were only children, different family types, family monthly income, parents' educational levels, and whether the mother was employed (χ2=33.769, 40.618, 48.593, 29.972, 142.648, 195.999, 168.190, 5.445, P<0.05 or 0.01).The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that for children and adolescents, being female, aged between 12 and 16, over 16 years old, not being an only child, living in a reconstituted family, having a monthly family income of less than 5 000 yuan, and having parents with an education level of primary school or below were predictors of depressive symptoms (OR=1.241, 1.427, 1.273, 1.177, 1.549, 1.278, 1.462, 1.417, 1.514, 1.929, 1.660, 1.528, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe detection rate of depressive symptoms among children and adolescents in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high. Factors that may predict depressive symptoms in children and adolescents include female gender, ages between 12 and 16, ages over 16 years old, non-only children, families with a restructured structure, monthly family income of less than 5 000 yuan, and parents with an education level of primary school or below.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the association of the expression of WW domain-containing ubiquitin E3 ligase 1 (WWP1) with immune infiltration in tumor microenvironment (TME) of ovarian cancer.
METHODS:
Ovarian cancer patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to analyze the association of WWP1 expression with patient prognosis. TISCH2 was utilized to analyze the changes in immune cell subtypes in TME of metastatic tumor and after chemotherapy. The impact of WWP1 on immune cell infiltration, somatic copy number alterations of WWP1 and evolution of immune cell subtypes was evaluated using TIMER and TIGER pseudo-time analysis. A deep learning model was used to analyze TCGA pathological images to investigate the effect of WWP1 on TME of ovarian cancer. RNA-seq analysis was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes in WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and validate immune infiltration. Multicolor immunofluorescence assay was used to analyze the immune markers in SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cell xenografts in nude mice.
RESULTS:
The patients with high WWP1 expression levels had significantly lower overall survival rate (P=0.0012). High WWP1 expression levels and Stage IV disease were both associated with a poor prognosis (P<0.05). In metastatic ovarian cancer or after chemotherapy, the percentages of malignant tumor cells and tumor-associated fibroblasts increased in the TME, accompanied by elevated WWP1 levels. WWP1 expression level was positively correlated with pro-tumorigenic immunosuppressive cells (r=0.1323-0.3955, P<0.05) and negatively with tumor-inhibiting immune cells (r=-0.1949- -0.1333, P<0.05). Specific copy number alterations of WWP1 also influenced CD8+ T cell percentage and neutrophil infiltration levels in the TME. RNA-seq analysis of WWP1-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and immunofluorescence assay of the tumor-bearing mice yielded findings consistent with those of bioinformatics analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
WWP1 may serve as a prognostic biomarker and a potential target for immune regulation in the TME of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effectiveness of using biomimetic electrical stimulation in conjunction with hormone replacement therapy involving estrogen and progesterone sequentially on premature ovarian failure and its influence on uterine artery hemodynamics.Methods:90 patients with premature ovarian failure in the First People's Hospital of Xianyang were selected from December 2022 to December 2023. According to the principle of matching the baseline characteristics between groups, the above patients were divided into observation group (pink ball, 45 cases) and control group (black ball, 45 cases) by random touching pink-black ball. The control group received estrogen-progesterone sequential therapy. In contrast, the observation group added biomimetic electrical stimulation combined therapy on the basis of the control group. The therapeutic effect, sex hormones (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol), uterine artery hemodynamics indicators (uterine artery peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index) and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between groups of patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and independent sample t test was used for between-group comparison of mean data and paired t-test was used for comparison before and after treatment. The percentage of enumeration data was calculated, and between-group rate was compared by chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Total effective rate with 96.56%(43/45) in observation group was higher than 82.22%(37/45) in control group ( χ2=4.05, P=0.044). After the end of treatment, FSH, LH, PI and resistance index in both groups were decreased, but the above indicators in observation group ((35.12±6.23) U/L, (33.56±4.12) U/L, 1.97±0.59, 0.41±0.13) were lower than those in control group ((49.23±6.87) U/L, (46.25±4.32) U/L, 2.33±1.04, 0.58±0.22), while the estradiol and PSV in both groups were increased, and the two indicators in observation group ((38.23±5.32) ng/L, (19.68±3.25) cm/s) were higher than those in control group were higher than those in control group ((32.12±5.12) ng/L, (16.44±2.03) cm/s) ( t value were 10.21, 2.52, 2.02, 4.62, 5.55, 5.67, respectively; Pvalue were <0.001, 0.014, 0.046, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). The adverse reactions in the observation and control groups were nausea and vomiting (3 cases and 4 cases ), headache (2 cases and 4 cases), breast pain (1 case and 3 cases), and abdominal pain (2 cases and 4 cases), respectively,There were no statistical differences in incidence rates of adverse reactions between groups ( χ2 value were 0.16, 0.71, 1.05, and 0.71, respectively; P value were 0.694, 0.398, 0.306, and 0.398, respectively). Conclusion:The combination of biomimetic electrical stimulation technology and sequential therapy of estrogen and progesterone has shown outstanding efficacy in treating premature ovarian failure, promoting the synthesis of sex hormones in patients, improving uterine blood supply, and having high safety.
