Objective:To investigate the application effect of production-oriented approach (POA) for consulting ability teaching in general practice standardized residency training.Methods:Eighteen third-year general practice residents in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University received a special training course on the consulting ability based on POA with the situational simulation teaching from September 2021 to March 2022. The consulting ability of residents was evaluated with Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and Leichester Assessment Package (LAP) before and after the training, and the results were compared. Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted to assess residents′ satisfaction with the course.Results:All 18 resident trainees (11 females and 7 males) aged 25 to 34 (27.3±2.4) years successfully completed the training. Both OSCE scores and LAP scores after the training were significantly higher than those before training (66.25±5.84 vs. 44.44±12.80, t=8.46, P<0.001; 65.78±7.05 vs. 38.33±14.2, t=1.47, P<0.001, respectively). The ability of medical history collection, physical examination, patient management, problem solving, doctor-patient relationship, preventive care and medical record writing were all significantly improved after the training compared with those before training ( t=2.464, 4.278, 8.997, 2.385, 10.35, 5.212, 7.578, all P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that all the 18 residents were satisfied with the reasonableness of the teaching content, the class time arrangement, the teaching progress arrangement and the instructors. In the dimension of training effectiveness, 18 participants all believed that the course was helpful to improve their humanistic quality and confidence in reception. In terms of self-promotion, all respondents believed that this course was able to promote their reflection ability and stimulate their learning interest. By coding and analyzing the contents of the semi-structured interviews with the residents, nine main themes were constructed, namely course deficiencies, course characteristics, course advantages, course suggestions, trainees′ deficiencies, trainees′ gains, trainees′ goals, previous teaching deficiencies, and instructor′s role. The results showed that all residents had a high degree of satisfaction with the course, and they thought the course was vivid and interesting and it is able to mobilize the enthusiasm of learning, promote learner to reflect. The residents also suggested to increase the teaching hours and to enrich teaching cases. Conclusion:The consulting ability training of general practice based on POA can effectively improve consulting ability, stimulate learning interest and improve independent learning ability of residents, which gains recognition from both faculty and trainees.

Objective To explore the correlation of glucose and lipid metabolism indicators combined with antiphospholipid antibodies with the prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis.Methods A total of 128 patients with atherosclerosis treated in our hospital from April 2021 to March 2023 were selected as study group,and 48 healthy individuals as control group.Glycolipid metabolism indexes and antiphospholipid antibody level of the two groups were compared,and the predictive value of glycolipid metabolism indexes,antiphospholipid antibodies and combined detection for the prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis were analyzed by ROC.Results TC,TG,ACL,and anti-β2-GP1 in the study group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The study group was divided into two sub-groups according to the prognosis.The expression level of TC,TG,ACL,and anti-β 2-GP1 in poor prognosis group was higher than that in good prognosis group(P＜0.05).TC,TG,ACL,and anti-β 2-GP1 was positively correlated with the poor prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the predictive value of six combined tests for the prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis was higher than that of single test of TC,TG,ACL,and anti-β2-GP1(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of TC,TG,ACL,and anti-β2-GP1 has high predictive value for the prognosis of patients with atherosclerosis.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To analyze the clinical, imaging and genetic characteristics of 2 pedigrees with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 7 (SPG7).Methods:The clinical data of the probands and related members of 2 families hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from December 2018 to December 2021 were collected. The probands and all family members were subjected to cranial MRI imaging and genetic testing, and the clinical characteristics and genetic variation of SPG7 families were compared with those reported in the literature.Results:Four patients from the 2 families were observed with adult-onset age in this group. The main manifestations were wide-base ataxic gait in 4 cases, and spastic gait in 1 case during follow-up. Pyramidal tract involvement mainly in the lower limbs were found in all cases, and dysarthria in 3 cases. MRI of 3 patients showed varying degrees of cerebellar atrophy. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous or homozygous variants of the SPG7 gene in the 4 patients, of which c.2062C>T and c.2176C>T were novel mutations. At present, only 5 SPG7 families have been reported in China. Among the 12 patients in all groups, 12 cases of pyramidal tract involvement, 10 cases of cerebellar ataxia, 7 cases of dysarticulation, 3 cases of cognitive impairment, 11 cases of complex hereditary spastic paraplegia, 1 case of simple hereditary spastic paraplegia, and 9 cases of cerebellar atrophy were reported. Six novel mutations have been reported in 5 families. Conclusions:SPG7 family is rarely reported in China, mainly manifested as pyramidal tract involvement combined with cerebellar ataxia, accompanied by cerebellar atrophy. SPG7 mutation is confirmed by genetic detection, and there are many novel mutations in SPG7 family in China.

Objective:To investigate the muscle MRI features of the lower extremities and correlations between MRI fatty degeneration total scores and other clinical features in limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R1 (LGMDR1) patients.Methods:Clinical data of 8 patients with LGMDR1 diagnosed by genetic examination in Department of Neurology, He'nan Provincial People's Hospital&People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2016 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Disease severity was evaluated by Gardner-Medwin and Walton (GM-W) scale. Pathological staining results of the lower limb muscles were observed; the fatty infiltration and edema of the muscles were observed by MRI T1WI and short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences. Lower limb muscles were scored using Mercuri's scale. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlations of MRI fatty degeneration total scores of the lower extremities with age, age of onset, disease duration, GM-W scale scores and creatinine kinase (CK) level.Results:Of the 8 patients with LGMDR1, 7 had decreased muscle strength in the proximal lower extremity, including 4 with decreased muscle strength in the distal lower extremity at the same time. Muscular dystrophy-like pathological changes of skeletal muscles were noted. All 8 LGMDR1 patients showed different degrees of fatty infiltration in the lower extremities: at the thigh level, the adductor magnus, biceps femoris long head, semimembranes, semitendinosus and adductor longus were the most severely fatty degeneration muscles (mean scores>4), with relatively sparing of the sartorius and rectus femoris; regarding the calves, gastrocnemius medial head was the mostly involved, followed by soleus, with relative sparing of the tibialis posterior and anterior compartment. Edema-like changes (mild) were observed in 7 patients; the muscles that most frequently and relatively severely displayed edema-like changes were the gastrocnemius lateral head and quadriceps. The fatty degeneration total scores of the lower extremities were positively correlated with GM-W scale scores ( r=0.872, P=0.005) and negatively correlated with CK level ( r=-0.929, P=0.001), but not significantly correlated with age, age of onset or disease duration ( r=0.635, P=0.091; r=0.571, P=0.139; r=0.551, P=0.157). Conclusion:The lower limb muscles with severe fatty infiltration are less prone to show edema-like changes; fatty degeneration can be used to evaluate LGMDR1 progress; involvement pattern of muscle MRI of the lower extremities is helpful in diagnosing and differentially diagnosing LGMDR1.

【Objective】 To study the effect of RHAG variants identified in Chinese population on mRNA splicing by minigene splicing assay(MSA) in vitro. 【Methods】 The pSplicePOLR2G minigene expression plasmids were constructed for 10 RHAG mutations with relatively high distribution frequency in Chinese population near splicing sites or synonymous mutations by analyzing the RHAG gene data in the KMxD database. Then, the wild-type and mutant plasmids were transfected into HEK 293T cells, and RNA was extracted 48 hours after transfection. After reverse transcription, specific primers were used for PCR amplification, and then agarose gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis were performed to determine whether the mutations will affect the normal splicing of exons. 【Results】 MSA in vitro showed that 2 mutations (c.158-5delT, c. 807+ 3A>C) near the splicing site reduced the amount of normal transcripts slightly. The remaining 8 synonymous mutations(c.312G>A, c. 341+ 3G>A, c. 609C>T, c. 681G>A, c. 861G>A, c. 957T>A, c. 984T>C and c. 1139-7G>A) had no impact on the splicing of RHAG mRNA. 【Conclusion】 This study showed that RHAG gene was conservative in terms of splicing, and the mutations near splicing sites and synonymous mutations were less likely to cause abnormal splicing of RHAG gene.

Rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) is a type of psychological visual stimulation experimental paradigm that requires participants to identify target stimuli presented continuously in a stream of stimuli composed of numbers, letters, words, images, and so on at the same spatial location, allowing them to discern a large amount of information in a short period of time. The RSVP-based brain-computer interface (BCI) can not only be widely used in scenarios such as assistive interaction and information reading, but also has the advantages of stability and high efficiency, which has become one of the common techniques for human-machine intelligence fusion. In recent years, brain-controlled spellers, image recognition and mind games are the most popular fields of RSVP-BCI research. Therefore, aiming to provide reference and new ideas for RSVP-BCI related research, this paper reviewed the paradigm design and system performance optimization of RSVP-BCI in these three fields. It also looks ahead to its potential applications in cutting-edge fields such as entertainment, clinical medicine, and special military operations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of myopathy-type very long chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD).Methods:The detailed clinical data, muscle biopsy pathology and molecular results of 4 patients with genetically confirmed myopathy-type VLCADD admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2014 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:All of the 4 patients were late-onset myopathy-type VLCADD. The onset age ranged from 13 to 16 years, with a mean age of 14.5 years. The age at diagnosis ranged from 21 to 54 years, with a mean age of 42.5 years. The main clinical manifestation was repeated rhabdomyolysis, including myalgia, weakness and dark urine. Obvious somnolence was observerd in 1 patient. Muscle biopsy pathology revealed mild lipid accumulation, without vacuoles. Six ACADVL variations were detected in the 4 patients, including c.1283G>A (p.R428H), c.1532G>A (p.R511Q), c.833_835delAGA (p.K278del), c.1843C>T (p.R615 *), c.1748C>T (p.S583L) and c.1391C>T (p.T464I),among which c.1391C>T (p.T464I) was a novel variation, predicted to be likely pathogenic. Other 5 variations were reported pathogenic variations. Conclusions:Myopathy-type VLCADD is characterized by paroxysmal rhabdomyolysis and can be associated with somnolence. There is no specificity in muscle pathology. There are ACADVL variations, among which c.1391C>T is a novel variation.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of cosmetic reconstruction for partial defect of distal segment of digits.Methods:Form January 2018 to January 2021, the Department of Hand Surgery of Institute for Hygiene of Ordnance Industry(The 521 Hospital of Weapon Industry) admitted 129 patients with partial defect of distal segment of thumb or fingers with phalange or tendon exposure. The patients were 111 males and 18 females with an average age of 34(17-59) years old. The sizes of nailbed defect were 0.4 cm×1.1 cm-1.8 cm×2.0 cm, the length of phalange defect was 0.4-1.8 cm, and the sizes of the soft tissue defect were 1.6 cm×1.8 cm-3.2 cm×4.8 cm. Great toe tissue flaps were used to reconstruct the partial defect of distal segment of thumb or fingers after debridement. Wounds of fibular flap of great toe in 77 cases were directly sutured in 17 patients. The donor sites in rest 60 great toes were narrowed first and then repaired with skin grafts in 10 cases, with artificial dermis in 28 cases and with transverse V-Y advancement flaps of ipsilateral great toes for 22 cases. Forty-nine of 52 donor site wounds for hallux toenail flap were repaired with artificial dermis and 3 with free peroneal artery perforator flaps. The method was outpatient follow-up. Postoperative follow-up lasted until July 2022. The check-items for follow-up included: occurrence of necrosis, appearance, shape and texture of the flap, appearance of the reconstructed nails, TPD of the reconstructed digit pulps, tolerance to cold on the scars of flaps, flexion and extension of the reconstructed digits. The healing time of phalanges of the reconstructed digits was evaluated by X-rays. The appearance, sensation, the tolerance to cold of great toe and the movement of donor foot were also assessed.Results:Postoperative follow-up lasted for 18 to 24 months, with an average of 21 months. A total of 128 flaps survived. Necrosis occurred in 1 fibular hallux flap, the necrosis was cured with a reverse digital proper artery island flap. Thereafter, all flaps healed well. The appearance, shape, texture and nails of reconstructed digits were close to the contralateral digits. The reconstructed thumb and finger were evaluated according to Zook, 127 cases were excellent and 2 cases were good.TPD of the pulps of the reconstructed digits was 4-10 mm. The mean score of the Vancouver scar scale(VSS) was 0.6 for scars of the reconstructed digits. The mean score of the Visual analog scale(VAS) was 0.3 for the tolerance to cold. Flexion and extension function recovered well in all the reconstructed digits. According to the Evaluation Criteria of Upper limb Function Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, the function of hand was excellent in 127 cases and 1 in each of good and fair. X-rays of all digits showed the phalange healing of the reconstructed digits, with an average healing time of 2 months after surgery, without phalange resorption, infection, nonunion nor stress fracture. There was no difference between the length of the donor great toe and the contralateral toe, except the donor site of the great toe nail root. There was no significant visual difference between the appearance of the donor great toe and the contralateral toe. TPD of the pulps of donor great toe was 4-8 mm. The mean score of the VSS was 1.4 for scars in the donor great toe. The mean score of the VAS was 0.7 for the tolerance to cold of the donor great toe. There was no stress fracture at donor site, and the functions of donor foot were not affected when walking, running, jumping and tiptoeing in all patients.Conclusion:It is an ideal method for reconstructing a partial defect of distal segment of digit by great toe flap. It can not only reconstruct the partial defect of distal segment of the digit, but also results in a good appearance and satisfactory functions of the reconstructed digit. Damage to the donor site is minimum. The length of the donor great toe is unchanged, and it has little impact on sensation and appearance of the donor great toe. Meanwhile, there is no adverse effect on walking, running and jumping with the donor foot.

OBJECTIVE To preliminary predict and analyze the quality marker(Q-markers)of Platycodonis Radix decoction based on the validity and measurability of traditional Chinese medicine Q-marker. METHODS The fingerprints of 20 batches of Platycodonis Radix samples were established, and the similarity was evaluated. At the same time, a "component-target-pathway" network diagram was constructed through network pharmacology to predict the potential active components of Platycodonis Radix. Mathematical analysis methods such as principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discrimination analysis were used to screen differential components; the content of candidate components were determined. RESULTS There were 19 common peaks in the established fingerprint, and 8 common components were identified as candidate active components for network pharmacology analysis. Network pharmacology indicated that 6 compounds were screened out with a high degree of connectivity. Based on the comprehensive consideration of Q-marker principle:traceability and transmissibility, specificity, efficacy, and measurability, luteolin, syringin, chlorogen acid, platycoside D, platycoside D3 and platycoside E were preliminarily predicted as potential Q-markers of platycodon. CONCLUSION The prediction analysis of Platycodonis Radix Q-marker provides a reference for the comprehensive control of the quality of Platycodonis Radix medicinal materials, and also lays a foundation for the research and exploration of the substance basis and mechanism of action of Platycodonis Radix.
