Objective:To explore the characteristics of gut microbiota in the preoperative, short-term postoperative and long-term postoperative period at (15.61±4.51) months in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) of congenital heart disease (CHD) treated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods:A prospective study was conducted.In Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, 13 patients with VSD who were scheduled for CPB and additional 10 age- and gender-matched healthy infants as pre-CPB control group from January 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled.Fecal samples were collected at pre- and early post-CPB.Meanwhile, 18 gender- and CHD diagnosis and operation-matched patients at (15.61±4.51) months after CPB and 8 healthy age- and gender-matched children as long-term control group after CPB were also enrolled, and fecal samples were collected.16S rRNA sequencing of fecal samples from all subjects were performed and comparing the differences in gut microbiota between two groups via comparing alpha and beta diversity, parameter test or nonparametric test, and LEfSe analysis.Results:Compared with those of pre-CPB control group, there was a significant difference in the composition of gut microbiota in the preoperative period of VSD children, with significantly increased abundances of Enterobacteriaceae and Shigella, and decreased abundance of Bifidobacterium (all P<0.05). The diversity of gut microbiota was comparable in VSD children before CPB and in the short period time after CPB (all P>0.05), except for the abundances of Clostridium and Streptococcus (all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the relative abundances of other highly abundant gut bacteria between the two periods (all P>0.05). Compared with that in VSD children in the short period time after CPB, the abundances of short-chain fatty acids-producing microbes were significantly higher at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively (all P<0.05), and the gut bacteria profile was similar to that of the long-term control group after CPB (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Gut microbiota imbalance exists in VSD children before CPB.The gut microbiota profile is not influenced by CPB, which returns normal at (15.61±4.51) months postoperatively.

Taking the micro-course The Connection Between Vertebrae as an example, this paper discusses the teaching design, production process and practical application of the anatomy micro-course, analyzes the existing problems and puts forward corresponding suggestions. The micro-course design integrates knowledge points with ideological and political elements, and applies a variety of teaching methods to make the teaching content interesting, enlightening and applicable. In the production process, using anatomical specimens, models and 3D software demonstration structure can make abstract knowledge intuitive and perceptual. Moreover, the artistry of micro-course is increased appropriately, and the misunderstanding of emphasizing appearance and neglecting design is avoided. The application of micro-course integrates the micro-course and online education platform to realize the intelligent education of information teaching. In addition, college teachers should improve the awareness of micro-course production and carry out systematic construction and application of micro-course resources.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pharmacological components and mechanism of Qingre huoxue decoction in improving myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI). METHODS Forty-two rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), Qingre huoxue decoction low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (4.94, 9.88, 19.79 g/kg),Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group (19.79 g/kg) and blank serum group (normal saline), with 6 rats in each group. Each group was given corresponding drug/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 2 weeks. Twelve hours after last administration, except for serum groups, MIRI model was induced in other groups (only threading without ligation in sham operation group). After modeling, cardiac histopathology was observed and apoptosis level was detected. UPLC-MS was used to analyze the samples in Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum group and blank serum group. The main pharmacological components were screened with the help of relevant databases. Multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze the differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways. Validation test was performed based on oxidative stress indicators. RESULTS Qingre huoxue decoction could improve the pathological injury of cardiac tissue and decrease apoptosis rate of cardiac cells in MIRI model rats (P<0.05). Qingre huoxue decoction drug-containing serum contained 20 main pharmacological components such as baicalin, succinic acid, baicalein, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde. Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly up-regulate the levels of 15 metabolites including L-arginine, L-arginine, citric acid, glutathione, β-D- glucose and L-carnitine, and down-regulated the levels of 14 metabolites including arachidonic acid, 3-phosphate-d-glycerol phosphate, linoleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine (P<0.05). These metabolites were mainly involved in energy metabolism, inflammatory injury, oxidative stress and autophagy. Results of validation tests showed that Qingre huoxue decoction could significantly reduce the levels of malondialdehyde, and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (except for low-dose group) and glutathione peroxidase significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Qingre huoxue decoction can improve the injury of cardiac tissue in MIRI model rats. Its pharmacological components include baicalin, cryptotanshinone, isoferulic acid, protocatechualdehyde, etc. Furthermore, it may play a protective role in MIRI by improving myocardial energy metabolism, down-regulating oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation infiltration.

During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), combining clinical "5+3" integrated students' characteristics and the contents of the courses, teachers applied the Zhihuishu platform and Tencent classroom in anatomy theory teaching to construct an efficient, accurate and interactive online flipped intelligent classroom covering before class -in class -after class. The ARCS (attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction) motivation model was introduced into the teaching design to help ensure the effective implementation of flipped classroom. Before class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish learning resources which students can learn independently. In class, teachers used Tencent classroom for live teaching, to explain key and difficult points, and answer and discuss questions. After class, teachers used the Zhihuishu platform to publish exercise tests and assignments. The practice shows that the online teaching mode has been widely recognized by the students. It's helpful to cultivate the learning interest, improve the ability of autonomous learning and the ability of analyzing and solving problems. It also contributes to the implementation of the diversified formative assessment, and it lays a foundation for developing the mixed teaching after the epidemic.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Tiaopi huxin prescription (TPHXP) on the atherosclerosis (AS) of ApoE-/- mice, and to investigate its mechanism. METHODS: Forty male ApoE-/- mice were divided into blank group, model group, simvastatin group (positive control, 5 mg/kg) and TPHXP low-dose and high-dose groups (50, 150 mg/kg), with 8 mice in each group. Except that blank group was given common diet, other groups were given high-lipid diet to induce AS model. After modeling, administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically, and blank group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 12 weeks. After last medication, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C were determined by spectrophotometry. The serum level of NO was detected by nitrate reduction method. The serum levels of IL-6 and VCAM-1 were determined by ELISA. After separating thoracic aorta, HE staining was used to observe the formation of plaque in the thoracic aorta of mice in each group, and the corrected plaque area was calculated. Western blotting was conducted to determine the expression of NF-κB p65, Cav-1 and eNOS. RESULTS: Compared with blank group, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, IL-6 and VCAM-1 were increased significantly in model group, while the levels of HDL-C and NO were decreased significantly (P<0.01). The plaque of thoracic aorta was obvious and the corrected plaque area were increased significantly (P<0.01). The relative expression of NF-κB p65 and Cav-1 were increased significantly, while the relative expression of eNOS was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in administration groups, the serum levels of IL-6 and VCAM-1 in simvastatin group and TPHXP high-dose group were decreased significantly, while the serum levels of HDL-C and NO were increased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In administration groups, the plaques of thoracic aorta were reduced and the corrected plaque area was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the relative expression of NF-κB p65 and Cav-1 were decreased significantly, while the relative expression of eNOS was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TPHXP can regulate the level of blood lipid, decrease the level of inflammatory factors and inhibit the formation of AS plaque, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting Cav-1/NF-κB pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects and its mechanism of calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC) loading total flavonoids of Davallia mariesii on osteogenic differentiation of induced membrane in rats. METHODS: Drug-loading CPC and drug-loading polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) cement were prepared with the contents of Qianggu capsules (total flavonoids of D. mariesii as active ingredient) using CPC and PMMA cement as carrier. Totally 64 male SD rats were randomly divided into drug-loading CPC group, drug-loading PMMA cement group, no-drug CPC group, no-drug PMMA cement group, with 16 rats in each group. The femur of rats was separated and osteotomized to prepare bone defect model, and then the corresponding bone cement was implanted. Four weeks after modeling, the induced membranes of rats were cut and protected. Bone cement was taken out and autogenous cancellous bone was implanted. At the 4th week after modeling, X-ray photographs were taken on the hind limb bones of rats. At the 4th week after modeling and 6th week after bone grafting, induced membranes and new bone were taken from the bone defect area of rats respectively. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of induced membrane, and the width of bone rabecular and the number of osteoblasts of new bone tissue were measured. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of BMP-2 and VEGF in induced membrane. Western blotting assay was used to detect the protein expression of Smad1, Smad4 and Smad7 in new bone. RESULTS: Compared with other 3 groups, the degradation of bone cement in drug-loading CPC group was more obvious in the bone defect areas, which showed that the formation of induced membrane was observed and the bone defect areas were smaller; capillary endothelial cells were abundant and orderly arranged in the induced membranes, and the width of bone trabeculae and the number of osteoblasts in the new bone tissue increased significantly (P<0.05); the protein expression of BMP-2 and VEGF in the induced membrane, the protein expression of Smad1, Smad4 and Smad7 in new bone were increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: CPC loading total flavonoids of D. mariesii promotes the formation of induced membrane osteoblast in bone defect model rats, which may be associated with regulating osteoblast differentiation by activating BMP-2/Smad pathway; at the same time, it can promote bone healing by promoting the differentiation of vascular endothelial cells, accelerating the formation of capillary network and increasing the expression of vascular endothelial cells.
