In recent years, the deep integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical education has created new opportunities for teaching Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, while also offering innovative solutions to the pedagogical challenges associated with protein structure and function. Focusing on the case of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), this study integrates AI into case-based learning (CBL) to develop an AI-CBL hybrid teaching model. This model features an intelligent case-generation system that dynamically constructs ALK mutation scenarios using real-world clinical data, closely linking molecular biology concepts with clinical applications. It incorporates AI-powered protein structure prediction tools to accurately visualize the three-dimensional structures of both wild-type and mutant ALK proteins, dynamically simulating functional abnormalities resulting from conformational changes. Additionally, a virtual simulation platform replicates the ALK gene detection workflow, bridging theoretical knowledge with practical skills. As a result, a multidimensional teaching system is established—driven by clinical cases and integrating molecular structural analysis with experimental validation. Teaching outcomes indicate that the three-dimensional visualization, dynamic interactivity, and intelligent analytical capabilities provided by AI significantly enhance students’ understanding of molecular mechanisms, classroom engagement, and capacity for innovative research. This model establishes a coherent training pathway linking “fundamental theory-scientific research thinking-clinical practice”, offering an effective approach to addressing teaching challenges and advancing the intelligent transformation of medical education.

Objective To compare effectiveness between the modified and traditional pressure-overload myocardial hypertrophy(POMH) model by abdominal aorta coarctation (AAC) method. Methods Totally 45 rats were divided into three groups(n = 15 per group), sham group, traditional group, and modified group. In the traditional group, the diameter ol the abdominal aorta was narrowed to 0. 70 mm through a midline incision for 4 weeks; in the modified group, the diameter of the abdominal aorta was narrowed above the left kidney to 0. 45 mm for 1 week, and then the narrowing was lifted postoperatively. The cardiac index, heart weight (HW) /body weight (BW) and left ventricular index, left ventricular weight (LVW)/BW were measured from the heart specimens, and the cross-sectional area of cardiac myocytes, myocardial collagen area, and myocardial collagen area Iraction were measured in the pathological sections by HE staining and Masson staining. Results Compared with the sham group, the differences in end-systolic interventricular septum thickness (IVSs), left ventricular end-systolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWs), HW/BW, LVW/BW, cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area, myocardial collagen area, myocardial collagen area fraction, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression levels were statistically significant (P<0. 05) in the modilied and traditional groups of rats. The differences in these indices were not statistically significant between the modified and traditional groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The modified abdominal aortic constriction method used in this experiment is time-saving, stable, homogeneous and easy to replicate, and is a more ideal approach to establish a rat model of POMH.

The occurrence and development of tumors are closely related to the body's immune function.It has been confirmed that immunotherapy plays a role in the treatment of various cancers.Some traditional Chinese medicines can control the growth and metastasis of tumors by enhancing anti-tumor immunity.Even in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment,traditional Chinese medicine can exert anti-tumor effects by upregulating immune responses.Further research on the regulation of the immune mechanisms by traditional Chinese medicine will provide new insights into how traditional Chinese medicine controls tumor growth and metastasis and help improve its effectiveness in the clinical treatment of various cancers.This article aims to provide a theoretical reference for the role of immunoregulation in tumors,summarize its mechanisms in tumors,and traditional Chinese medicine intervention research in tumors for the prevention and treatment of tumors with traditional Chinese medicine.

Male lower urinary tract symptoms is a collective term for a group of symptoms associated with lower urinary tract disorders characterized by frequent urination, urgent urination, and difficulty of urination, of which the common causes are benign prostatic hyperplasia or overactive bladder. With the aging of the global population, the incidence of male lower urinary tract symptoms is increasing year by year. Based on the theoretical connotation of " zang-fu extraordinary connection", the relationship between the lungs and the bladder, the spleen and the small intestine, and the kidneys and the sanjiao with the formation of male lower urinary tract symptoms is explained from three perspectives. It is believed that lung qi depression and closure, disturbance of qi transformation in bladder, and insufficient spleen transport occur, the small intestine is dysfunctional, kidney yang is exhausted, and obstruction of the sanjiao waterway are the basic pathogenesis of male lower urinary tract symptoms. It is emphasized that the location of the disease should be identified. If it is related to the lungs and the bladder, then the disease should be treated by lifting the pot to lift the lid and diffusing the lung qi to benefit the bladder with Wuling Powder plus perilla leaf and bitter apricot seed; if it is related to the spleen and the small intestines, then the disease should be treated by raising the clear and directing the turbid downward and improving the spleen qi in order to support the small intestines with Shenling Baizhu Powder; if it is related to the kidneys and the sanjiao, then the disease should be treated by seeking the yang within the yin and warming and tonifying the kidney qi in order to dredge up the sanjiao with Bawei Shenqi Pill. According to the patient's condition, treatment can be combined with acupuncture, exercise, and other therapies. This paper can provide reference for clinical treatment of male lower urinary tract symptoms.

Objective:To understand the prevalence and characteristics of Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in influenza-like Illness (ILIs) patients in Mianyang, Sichuan province, China.Methods:Throat swabs were collected from patients of ILIs in sentinel hospitals in Mianyang during 2021—2022. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect 16 common pathogens. The VP4/VP2 coding region genes of HRV positive samples were amplified by nest PCR. The phylogeny, consistency and amino acid variation of different serotypes were analyzed and compared with reference sequences from GenBank database.Results:A total of 332 ILIs′ samples were collected with a virus detection rate of 58.73% (195/332) in Mianyang. Among them, 23 samples (23/332) were HRV-positive, and 18 VP4/VP2 sequences of HRV strains were successfully amplified. It was found that 13 HRV serotypes were detected in ILIs samples in Mianyang, which belonged to three genotypes, namely HRV-A (12 strains), HRV-B (5 strains) and HRV-C (1 strain).Conclusions:HRV was one of the pathogens of ILIs cases in Mianyang during 2021—2022, with HRV-A types as the dominant strains.

3ʹ-Hydroxy-4ʹ-methoxy-2-hydroxy-5-bromochalcone (hereinafter referred to as C13) is a novel chalcone derivative obtained in the process of structural modification of DHMMF, the antitumor active compound of Resina Draconis, in our laboratory. In this study, we investigated the effects of C13 on the proliferation and apoptosis of human gastric cancer HGC-27 and AGS cells and its potential mechanism of action. Firstly, through methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), colony formation assay, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, we found that C13 inhibited the proliferation ability of human gastric cancer HGC-27 and AGS cells. Using flow cytometry and Western blot, it was found that C13 induced apoptosis in human gastric cancer HGC-27 and AGS cells, and up-regulated the protein level of cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase (cleaved-PARP). The results of RNA sequencing analysis showed that the Erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4/phosphoinositide 3-kinases/AKT (ErbB4/PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway may be involved in anti-gastric cancer activity of C13. Finally, the results of immunoblotting assay showed that C13 treatment down-regulated the protein levels of ErbB4 and phospho-ErbB4, as well as down-regulated the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and AKT in human gastric cancer HGC-27 and AGS cells, which verified the results from RNA-seq analysis. In conclusion, C13 inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells, which may be related to the down-regulation of ErbB4/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study may provide a candidate drug for the treatment of gastric cancer.

The abuse and irrational use of antibiotics in human veterinary medicine has seriously endangered the ecological environment and human health.In this study,a fully automatic solid-phase disk extraction-stable isotope dilution-ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for determination of 17 kinds of sulfonamides antibiotics(SAs)in water was established,which was then applied to determination of SAs in real samples including tap water,river water and seawater,respectively.Meanwhile,the residual characteristics were discussed and the ecological risks were assessed.With this method,1.0 L water sample with 0.5 g/L Na2EDTA(pH=3)was extracted and enriched by 3M SDB-XC disk,and eluted by 10 mL of mixture of methanol and acetone(1:1,V/V),and the pretreatment time of the sample was about 60 min per six samples.Under the optimized conditions,the linearity of the method for detection of 17 kinds of SAs ranged from 0.05 to 100 μg/L,with correlation coefficients(R2)>0.999.In addition,the detection limits(S/N=3)were as low as 0.012-0.052 ng/L,and the recoveries were in the range of 76%-110%,with relative standard deviations of 0.5%-9.6%(n=5).The results showed that no SAs was detected in tap water,while 3 and 9 kinds of SAs were detected in river water of Zhoushan,and seawater of Wenzhou Sea area in Zhejiang province,respectively.The total concentrations of the detected SAs were 0.875-21.826 ng/L and 1.024-20.768 ng/L in river water and seawater,respectively,and among which,sulfamethoxazole(SMX)was the predominant compound in river water and seawater,accounting for 81%and 74%of the total SAs,respectively.The ecological risk assessment showed that the risk quotients of the detected SAs in the river water and seawater in the study area for the three kinds of trophic organisms(algae,Daphnia and fish)were far less than 0.01,meaning that the ecological risk was low.

Objective:To observe the effect of early weightbearing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) on lower limb motor function, activation of the knee muscles and the stability of the knee joint.Methods:Forty-four persons who had received ACLR were divided at random into a control group and an experiment group, each of 22. In addition to conventional rehabilitation treatment after surgery, the control group underwent weightbearing training from the 8th day after the surgery, while the experimental group began weight-bearing training from the 3rd postoperative day. Both groups had their motor functioning evaluated using the International Knee Scoring Committee (IKDC) knee subjective evaluation form 3 days after the operation, and then 6 and 12 weeks later. Their pain perceptions were quantified on the same schedule using visual analogue scoring (VAS), and protractor measurements documented active range of motion (AROM). Electromyography (AEMG) of the medial head and rectus femoris muscle was also performed, and the stability of the knee joint was assessed using the KT-1000 test.Results:After the intervention, the average IKDC score, VAS score, knee extension and flexion AROMs, medial quadriceps head AEMG ratio, and rectus femoris muscle AEMG ratio improved to different degrees in the two groups. At 6 weeks the average pain score, knee extension and flexion ranges of motion, quadriceps medial head AEMG ratio, and rectus femoris AEMG ratio of the experimental group were all better than the control group′s averages. At 12 weeks the average IKDC subjective knee function score in the experimental group was also superior.Conclusions:Supplementing conventional rehabilitation with early weight-bearing can significantly improve the recovery from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Beginning on day 3 after the operation gives the best results.
