Objective:To investigate the application value of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient teaching in the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns.Methods:A total of 110 clinical medicine interns were selected from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and were divided into experimental group and control group using a random number table, with 55 interns in each group. The interns in the control group received traditional lecturing, and those in the experimental group received scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching. The SEGUE Communication Skill Evaluation Scale and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the improvement in communication skills in both groups, and Physician Self-Evaluation Scale and Course Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to assess the effectiveness of the course and the degree of satisfaction with the course. SPSS 26.0 was used for the t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the rank sum test. Results:After training, both groups showed significant improvements in communication skills and patient satisfaction [experimental group in terms of communication skills: (55.38±13.11) vs. (74.82±6.75), P<0.001; experimental group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 81.00 (79.00, 83.00), P<0.01; control group in terms of communication skills: (56.53±12.34) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; control group in terms of patient satisfaction: 39.00 (39.00, 42.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001], and the experimental group had significantly higher scores than the control group [communication skills: (74.82±6.75) vs. (65.45±10.18), P<0.001; patient satisfaction: 81.00 (79.00, 83.00) vs. 73.00 (68.00, 77.00), P<0.001]. The Physician Self-Evaluation Scale showed that the experimental group had a significant improvement compared with the control group ( P<0.05). The results of the Course Satisfaction Questionnaire showed that the degree of overall satisfaction of the course was only 87.28% in the control group, while all the interns in the experimental group were satisfied with the course ( P<0.001); the new teaching method showed great advantages ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the training of doctor-patient communication skills among interns, the application of scenario simulation combined with standardized patient case-based teaching can significantly improve their abilities of the application of knowledge application, humanistic concern, and communication skills, and therefore, it is an effective and promising method for the training of doctor-patient communication skills.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of modified Shaoyao Decoction with Astragali Radix and Houttuynize Herba in regulating PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway against intestinal mucosal barrier injury in ulcerative colitis (UC) rats.Methods:Totally 72 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a model group, a mesalazine group, and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups using a random number table method. After successful modeling, the mesalazine group was given 0.2 g/kg of mesalazine suspension by gavage, while modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups were given 44.5, 22.3, and 11.1 g/kg of modified Shaoyao Decoction by gavage, once a day, for a total of 4 weeks. The pathological changes of colon tissue were observed using HE staining; immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expressions of tight junction protein (ZO-1), cytoskeletal protein (F-actin), and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE cadherin) in colon tissue; Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of PI3K, Akt, NF-κB, VEGF, and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) in colon tissue; QRT PCR was used to detect the expressions of PI3K and Akt mRNA in colon tissue; ELISA method was used to detect the levels of serum TNF-α and endothelin (ET).Results:Compared with the model group, the DAI scores of the mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-dosage group decreased significantly on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after modeling ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). In mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high-, medium-, and low-dose groups, the pathological injury score of colon tissue decreased ( P<0.01), the immunofluorescence intensity of ZO-1, F-actin and VE-cadherin protein expression in colon tissue increased ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expressions of PI3K, Akt, NF-κB and VEGF protein decreased ( P<0.01). The expression of COX-2 protein and the levels of PI3K mRNA and Akt mRNA decreased in the mesalazine group and modified Shaoyao Decoction high- and medium groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Modified Shaoyao Decoction can antagonize the intestinal barrier injury of UC by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway and promote the healing of intestinal mucosal ulcer.

With the deepening of molecular biology and cell biology research,the regulatory mechanism of autophagy has been gradually revealed,providing new ideas for the treatment of numerous diseases.Autophagy may be closely related to pathological changes such as apoptosis resistance of fibroblast-like synoviocytes,disturbances in bone metabolic homeostasis,and antigen presentation,the regulation of autophagy homeostasis may be an important approach for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).In this paper,we provide a review on the pathological mechanism of autophagy in RA,with a view to providing a theoretical basis for later studies.

Isoflavones which mainly distributed in leguminous plants have plenty of health benefits.Isoflavone synthase(IFS)is a membrane-associated cytochrome P450 enzyme(CYP450)which carries out the unique aryl-ring migration and hydroxylation.So far,few crystal structures of plant P450s have been obtained.We determined the crystal structure of IFS from Medicago truncatula at 1.9 ? by MAD method using a selenomethionine substituted crystal and conducted molecular docking and mutagenesis study.The structure of IFS complexed with imidazole exhibits the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif which cor-responds to helix Ⅰ of other P450s.Compared with structures of common P450s,IFS/imidazole structure contains an extra domain,i.e.,the γ-domain.The structure reveals a homodimer in which the γ-domain of one molecule interacts with the β-domain of another.The plane of heme group makes an angle of ap-proximately 40° with the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif.Molecular docking combined with mutagenesis study suggested that Trp-128 and Asp-300 might play important roles in substrate binding and recogni-tion.Phe-301,Ser-303 and Gly-305 from the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif may play important roles in the aryl-ring migration.These novel structural features reveal insights into the unique reaction mechanism of IFS and provide a basis for engineering IFS in leguminous crops for health purpose.
