This narrative review examines the challenges, strategies, and future directions in the development of young teachers within the pathophysiology departments of Chinese medical colleges. A thorough review of 49 studies published between 2013 and 2024 was carried out using PubMed, Web of Science, and various Chinese databases. The primary challenges identified include teaching innovation (cited in 84.2% of the studies), research pressure (91.2%), disciplinary characteristics (87.7%), and career development (80.7%). Medical schools have responded by enhancing training systems (94.7%), innovating teaching methods (93.0%), and bolstering research support (96.5%). Looking ahead, trends are shifting toward the application of new technologies, interdisciplinary integration, and international collaboration. The focus on cultivating young teachers is increasingly geared towards personalization and diversification, which are essential for advancing education in pathophysiology. High-quality young teachers are pivotal in raising teaching standards, fostering research innovation, and facilitating interdisciplinary exchanges. Based on these insights, we recommend several practical measures to enhance the quality of pathophysiology education in China. These include establishing comprehensive training programs that integrate teaching innovation and research skills; developing structured mentorship systems with clear pathways for career advancement; creating platforms that support technology-enhanced teaching and international collaboration; and implementing systematic evaluation mechanisms to assess teaching effectiveness. These targeted interventions will require a coordinated effort from department heads, educational institutions, and policymakers to ensure a sustained improvement in the quality of pathophysiology education.

Objective To compare the differences in virulence-related factor aspartate protease,biofilm formation,and gene expression among clinical isolates of Candida parapsilosis(C.parapsilosis).Methods Gene sequencing and microsatellite typing(MT)method were adopted to identify C.parapsilosis isolated from patients with clinical fungal infection.The production of secreted aspartate protease and biofilm formation ability of each strain were de-tected,and the expression of biofilm formation related-genes BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1,as well as aspartate prote-ase virulence genes SAPP1,SAPP2,SAPP3 were compared among the strains.Results A total of 8 clinically iso-lated C.parapsilosis strains were collected,all of which were identified as genotype Ⅰ.Based on microsatellite ty-ping results,8 clinical strains were divided into 4 microsatellite types.G1,G2,and G3 strains isolated from the urine,peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC),and blood of patient A were of different subtypes.J1,J2,J3,J4,and J5 strains were of the same type,and isolated from blood specimens of patient B at different periods.All 8 clinical strains could form biofilm,and their biofilm formation ability was higher than that of the standard strain of C.parapsilosis(ATCC 22019).G1,G3 and J5 strains had strong biofilm formation ability,J1,J2,J3,and J4 strains had moderate biofilm formation ability,and G2 strain had weak biofilm formation ability.All of the eight clinical isolates secreted aspartate protease,and their in vitro expression levels of the enzyme were higher than that of the standard strain(ATCC 22019).G3,G1,and G2 strains showed low,moderate,and high in vitro enzyme expression respectively,with statistical differences(all P＜0.05).Enzyme expressed moderately in J1 and J5 strains,and highly in J2,J3,and J4 strains.Difference between moderate and high expressions was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The expression levels of biofilm formation genes BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1 in various strains isolated from patients A and B increased.In strains isolated from patient A,the expression level of EFG1 gene in G1 strain was higher than that in G2 strain(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in BCR1,EFG1,and HWP1 gene expression levels among strains isolated from patient B.The expression levels of as-partate protein genes(SAPP1,SAPP2,and SAPP3)in various strains isolated from patients A and B increased.The expression levels of SAPP1 and SAPP2 in strain G1 were higher than those in G2 and G3(both P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of SAPP1,SAPP2,and SAPP3 genes in strains from patient B.Conclusion Clinical isolates of C.parapsilosis have higher biofilm formation and aspartate protease production abilities than standard strain.The expression of virulence factors varies among strains isolated from different specimens,while there is no significant difference in the expression of virulence factors among strains isolated at different periods.Patients may have been infected with different MT types of C.parapsilosis in multiple sites during the same period.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Objective To observe the value of deep learning combine with radiomics based on MRI for evaluating H3 K27 status of midline gliomas.Methods Totally 127 patients with diffuse midline glioma H3 K27-altered(H3-DMG)and 127 patients with midline glioblastoma(GBM)without H3 K27 mutation were retrospectively enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into training set(n=204)and test set(n=50)at the ratio of 8:2.U-Net neural network visual and radiomics features of tumors were extracted based on MRI,and a deep learning radiomics model was established,its value for evaluating H3 K27 status was observed.Results Based on training set,0.500 was obtained as the security score partition value for the model classification task.In test set,the median safety score of the obtained deep learning radiomics model for evaluating H3 K27 status of H3-DMG and GBM was 0(0,0)and 0.999(0.616,1.000),respectively,for the former was lower than for the latter(Z=-5.114,P＜0.001).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and area under the curve of deep learning radiomics model for evaluating H3 K27 status in training set was 93.14％,81.37％,87.25％and 0.953(95％CI[0.923,0.976]),respectively,while was 88.00％,80.00％,84.00％and 0.922(95％CI[0.829,0.986])in test set,respectively.Conclusion Deep learning radiomics based on MRI could accurately evaluate H3 K27 status of midline gliomas.

Objective:To develop a deep learning architecture based on 3D Transformers to predict dose distribution within intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for lung cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 174 lung cancer patients treated with IMRT in Chongqing University Cancer Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the training ( n=116), validation ( n=29), and test ( n=29) sets. We employed the Swin Unet Transformer (Swin Unetr) model to predict the three-dimensional dose distribution. The model was trained using computed tomography (CT) images, planning target volume (PTV) images, organs at risk (OAR) images, beam configuration information images, and distance images. We used various evaluation metrics such as mean absolute errors (MAE), Dice similarity coefficients (DSC), and dose volume histogram (DVH) dosimetric parameters to assess the performance of Swin Unetr and compared it with three mainstream deep learning models: CGAN, ResSEUnet, and ResUnet. Results:The MAE of the dose distribution prediction by Swin Unetr was recorded at 0.0143±0.0055. Conversely, the values of CGAN, ResSEUnet, and ResUnet were 0.0162±0.0055, 0.0167±0.0063, and 0.0164±0.0057, respectively. Furthermore, Swin Unetr achieved the highest DSC values (>0.85) across all isodose volumes. Regarding DVH dosimetric parameters, excluding D 2% of PTV and D mean of the heart, Swin Unetr exhibited no statistically significant differences in the remaining DVH dosimetric parameters (all P>0.05), demonstrating the best evaluation results in 66.67% of the overall dosimetric parameters and 75% of the PTV dosimetric parameters. Conclusions:Swin Unetr achieves the best score in multiple dosimetric evaluation indicators, and the highest DSC across all isodose volumes. Swin Unetr has significantly improved the accuracy of three-dimensional dose prediction during IMRT for lung cancer.
