The educational purpose of "three-wide education" is in line with the overall goal of talent cultivation in colleges and universities, and fits the development laws of ideological and political work in colleges and universities in the new era. It is an important measure to leverage the joint efforts of education and improve the quality of education. Under the concept of "three-wide education", medical ethics education in higher vocational medical colleges lacks systematization and big data support, medical students’ "knowing morality" and "conducting morality" are not unified, the content of medical ethics teaching is outdated, and teaching methods are single, which is inconsistent with students’ innovative cognitive thinking and derailed from clinical and social real needs, making it difficult to arouse students’ interest in learning. Against the backdrop of continuously improving professional literacy requirements for medical students, this paper explored the medical ethics education path of "combining moral and technical education" for vocational medical students under the concept of "three-wide education", and formed training paths such as "three integration of medical ethics, three progressions of knowledge and action", the coordinated education of ideological and political courses and ideological and political education in the course, the "trinity" of school, family, and society, the innovative multi-dimensional medical ethics education teaching methods, the construction of a medical ethics practice platform, and the establishment of medical ethics cultural education data management platforms, with a view to providing reference ideas for the cultivation of medical ethics among vocational medical students.

Objective:To investigate the effects of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) and femtosecond small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) on corneal biomechanics measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer in the early postoperative period.Methods:A cohort study was conducted.The right eyes of 56 patients who underwent TransPRK and 52 patients who underwent SMILE in Dalian Medical University Affiliated Dalian Third People's Hospital from November 2020 to June 2021 were continuously included.The postoperative follow-up was 3 months.The central corneal thickness (CCT) and keratometry (Km) were measured 1 month and 3 months after surgery.The corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal hysteresis (CH), and 19 repeatable mechanical infrared signal waveform parameters measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer were recorded before the surgery, 1 month and 3 months after the surgery, respectively.The measurement indexs at different time points between two groups were compared.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Dalian Medical University Affiliated Dalian Third People's Hospital (No.2019-KT-010). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results:There was no significant difference in CCT, Km, and IOPcc between the two groups at 1 month and 3 months after the surgery (all at P>0.05). In both groups, CRF, CH, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h1, h2, h11, h21, dive1, dive2 and mslew1 were decreased, while path1, path2, path11, and aplhf were increased at 1 month after the surgery compared with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In both groups, CRF, CH, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h1, h2, h11, h21, dive1 decreased, while path1, path2, path11, and aplhf were increased at 3 months after the surgery in comparison with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In SMILE group, the dive2 were decreased at 3 months after the surgery compared with before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). At 1 month after the surgery, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, dive1 and dive2 were higher, while CH, path1, path2, and path11 were smaller in TransPRK group than in SMILE group, showing statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05). At 3 months after the surgery, p1area, p2area, p1area1, p2area1, w1, w2, w11, w21, h2, h21, dive1 and dive2 were higher, while path1, path2, and path11 were smaller in TransPRK group than in SMILE group, showing statistically significant differences between them (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Corneal biomechanics are weakened after both TransPRK and SMILE.In the early postoperative period, the mechanical infrared waveform parameters measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer are better after TransPRK than after SMILE.

Objective:To investigate the differences and changes in early postoperative visual quality after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and smart pulse technology-assisted transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (SPT-TransPRK).Methods:A cohort study was performed.A total of 92 patients (92 eyes) who underwent corneal laser refractive surgery were enrolled in Dalian Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University from February 2021 to May 2021.The data from the right eye were collected for analysis.The patients were divided into SMILE group (40 patients, 40 eyes) and SPT-TransPRK group (52 patients, 52 eyes). Preoperative, 1- and 3-month postoperative visual acuity were measured to calculate the effectiveness, which was defined as the ratio of postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) to preoperative best corrected visual acuity.Refraction was measured by an AR-1 autorefractor.Corneal higher-order aberration (HOA) including total HOA, spherical aberration and coma was measured by Sirius corneal topographer.Objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function cut-off frequency (MTF cut-off), Strehl ratio (SR), simulated contrast visual acuity VA100 (day), VA20 (dusk) and VA9 (night) were measured via OQAS II visual quality analysis system.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Dalian Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University (No.2019-KT-010). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:There was no significant difference in 3-month postoperative UCVA and effectiveness between the two groups ( Z=0.880, P=0.380; t=0.920, P=0.058). Patients in SPT-TransPRK group showed mild hyperopia 3 months after surgery.Preoperative, 1- and 3-month postoperative total corneal HOA was (0.47±0.18), (0.70±0.22) and (0.74±0.19)μm in SMILE group, and (0.40±0.14), (0.98±0.35) and (0.94±0.22)μm in SPT-TransPRK group respectively, showing statistically significant differences ( Fgroup=13.851, P=0.001; Ftime=29.960, P<0.001). Preoperative, 1- and 3-month postoperative spherical aberration was (-0.20±0.09), (-0.44±0.14) and (-0.44±0.15)μm in SMILE group, and (-0.20±0.10), (-0.71±0.23) and (-0.75±0.20)μm in SPT-TransPRK group respectively, showing statistically significant differences ( Fgroup=31.037, P<0.001; Ftime=48.005, P<0.001). The postoperative total corneal HOA and spherical aberration were increased in both groups compared with before surgery, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). The 1- and 3-month postoperative total corneal HOA and spherical aberrations were smaller in SMILE group than in SPT-TransPRK group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The 1- and 3-month postoperative coma were increased in both groups compared with before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In SMILE group, 1-month postoperative OSI was higher and 1-month postoperative MTF cut-off, SR, and VA9 were lower than those before surgery, and 3-month postoperative OSI was higher and 3-month postoperative SR and VA9 were lower than those before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In SPT-TransPRK group, 1-month postoperative OSI was higher and 1-month postoperative MTF cut-off, SR, VA100, VA20, and VA9 were lower than those before surgery, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in OSI, MTF cut-off, SR, VA100, VA20, and VA9 between 3 months postoperatively and before surgery in the SPT-TransPRK group (all at P>0.05). There was no significant difference in coma, OSI, MTF cut-off, SR, VA100, VA20, and VA9 between two groups (all at P>0.05). Conclusions:Both SMILE and SPT-TransPRK are effective methods for correcting myopia and they have comparable visual quality.Compared with SPT-TransPRK, corneal total HOA and spherical aberration are smaller after SMILE.

Background:
Chronic exposure to elevated levels of saturated fatty acids results in pancreatic β-cell senescence. However, targets and effective agents for preventing stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence are still lacking. Although melatonin administration can protect β-cells against lipotoxicity through anti-senescence processes, the precise underlying mechanisms still need to be explored. Therefore, we investigated the anti-senescence effect of melatonin on stearic acid-treated mouse β-cells and elucidated the possible role of microRNAs in this process.
Methods:
β-Cell senescence was identified by measuring the expression of senescence-related genes and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining. Gain- and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate the involvement of microRNAs in stearic acid-evoked β-cell senescence and dysfunction. Bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter activity assays were applied to predict the direct targets of microRNAs.
Results:
Long-term exposure to a high concentration of stearic acid-induced senescence and upregulated miR-146a-5p and miR- 8114 expression in both mouse islets and β-TC6 cell lines. Melatonin effectively suppressed this process and reduced the levels of these two miRNAs. A remarkable reversibility of stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence and dysfunction was observed after silencing miR-146a-5p and miR-8114. Moreover, V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A (Mafa) was verified as a direct target of miR-146a-5p and miR-8114. Melatonin also significantly ameliorated senescence and dysfunction in miR-146a-5pand miR-8114-transfected β-cells.
Conclusion
These data demonstrate that melatonin protects against stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence by inhibiting miR-146a- 5p and miR-8114 and upregulating Mafa expression. This not only provides novel targets for preventing stearic acid-induced β-cell dysfunction, but also points to melatonin as a promising drug to combat type 2 diabetes progression.

Objective:To describe the differences in body mass index (BMI) distribution in adult twins registered in Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR), and provide evidence for the risk factor analysis and prevention and control of overweight or obesity.Methods:A total of 32 725 twin pairs aged 18 years and above who completed the questionnaire survey during 2010-2018 and had complete registered information in CNTR and normal body weight and length were included in the analysis on the population and region specific distributions of BMI of twin pairs and the difference in BMI in twin pairs.Results:The twin pairs included in the analysis were aged (34.6±12.4) years, the twin pairs of same gender accounted for 79.7%. The average BMI was 22.5 kg/m 2. The overall prevalence of obesity and overweight was 4.9% and 23.7%, respectively. Participants who were men, 50-59 years old, married, had lower education level, and lived in northern China had higher overweight rate and obesity rate ( P<0.001). The difference in overweight or obesity prevalence between monozygotic (MZ) twin pars and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs was not significant, but firstborn twin pairs had slightly higher rates of overweight and obesity than later-born twin pairs ( P<0.05). The analysis in same gender-twin pairs indicated that the difference in BMI was associated with age (trend test: P<0.001), and the difference was more obvious in DZ twin pair in MZ pair and this difference increased with age. The concordant rate of BMI was higher in MZ twin pairs than DZ twin pairs ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The distribution of BMI of twin pairs varied with population and region and BMI varied with age due to its genetic nature.

Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2021;42(7):1167-1173
Objective:To explore the modification effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:The univariate moderation model was fitted to calculate the modifying effect of physical activity on the genetic effects of T2DM based on the data of 12 107 pairs of same gender twins aged 30 years and older enrolled by the Chinese National Twin Registry in 11 provinces/cities in China.Results:After adjusting for age and gender, the heritability of T2DM was 0.56 (0.31-0.84). Qualified physical activity could attenuate the genetic effects of T2DM. The heritability of T2DM in twin pairs with qualified physical activity was 0.46 (0.06-0.88), which was lower than that in twin pairs without qualified physical activity during the same model [0.68(0.36-0.94)].Conclusion:T2DM is a moderate genetic disease, physical activity can modify the genetic effects of T2DM.

Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2021;42(9):1573-1579
Objective:To explore the gene-body mass index (BMI) interaction on coronary heart disease (CHD) in the Chinese adult twins.Methods:A total of 20 340 same-sex twin pairs registered in the Chinese National Twin Registry (CNTR) were enrolled in this study. Classical twin structure equation model was used to estimate the gene-BMI interaction on CHD.Results:After adjusting for age, we found that genetic variance of CHD differed as the function of BMI in male twins, which indicated the presence of a gene-BMI interaction on CHD ( P=0.008).The genetic moderating effect ( βa) was -0.14 (95% CI: -0.22--0.04), indicating that for each logarithmic transformation value of BMI increase, genetic path parameters would decrease by 0.14, which would result in the decrease of genetic variance of CHD. And the heritability of CHD was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.65-0.86) among the male twins with lower BMI (<24.0 kg/m 2), but 0.56 (95% CI: 0.33-0.74) among the male twins with high BMI (≥24.0 kg/m 2). However, there was no evidence suggesting that BMI could moderate genetic variants of CHD in female. Conclusion:We found a significant gene-BMI interaction on CHD in the Chinese male adult twins in China, and the heritability of CHD was higher among the twins whose BMI was <24.0 kg/m 2.
