OBJECTIVE To explore the specific application and evaluation effect of objective structured clinical examination(OSCE)-guided scenario-based practical teaching mode in training clinical pharmacists. METHODS Fifty-six trainees who participated in the clinical pharmacist training program in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2020 to September 2022 were selected as the research objects. OSCE-guided teaching was conducted, and the application effect of OSCE-guided teaching mode in clinical pharmacist training was explored and analyzed by using theoretical examination results and OSCE assessment results as evaluation indicators. RESULTS Through comparative analysis, it was found that the OSCE-guided teaching mode not only enabled students to better grasp the theoretical knowledge points required by the training outline, but also improved their clinical thinking ability, problem-solving ability, and communication and coordination skills to varying degrees. CONCLUSION For clinical pharmacist trainees, the OSCE teaching mode is conducive to the comprehensive improvement of clinical pharmacist skills and is suitable for cultivating clinical pharmacists who are capable of independently carrying out clinical pharmacy services in the new situation.

Objective We aimed to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture at"Zusanli"(ST36)and"Taichong"(LR3)on gastrointestinal motility,gastrointestinal hormones,and brain-gut axis in rats with functional dyspepsia(FD).Methods 48 SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group,a model group,a cisapride group,and an electroacupuncture group,with 12 rats in each group.A mild tail pinch stimulation combined with intermittent food deprivation was used to establish the FD rat model.Body mass,food intake,and sucrose preference rate were recorded before and after modeling to verify the success of the FD model.After modeling,the normal control group and the model group received no intervention;the cisapride group rats were administered cisapride[0.4 g/(kg·d)]by intragastric perfusion for 6 consecutive days as one course of treatment,with a rest day between each course;the electroacupuncture group rats received electroacupuncture stimulation at bilateral"Zusanli"and"Taichong"(DC,dense-sparse wave,2/100 Hz,2-5 mA.Electricity was applied for 30 min),with stimulation every 24 h for 6 consecutive times as one course of treatment,with a rest day between each course.After two courses of treatment,samples were collected to compare gastrointestinal motility indices,blood levels of gastrointestinal hormones[motilin,gastrin,serotonin(5-HT),nitric oxide(NO)],serum and tissue levels of endogenous brain-gut peptides[cholecystokinin(CCK),calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),neuropeptide Y(NPY)]in the hypothalamus,gastric antrum,duodenum,colon,and protein expressions of ghrelin and substance P in the hypothalamus,spinal cord,gastric antrum,and colon.Results Body mass,food intake,and sucrose preference rate were lower of the model rats than those of the normal rats(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,rats in the electroacupuncture group and cisapride group had(i)lower gastric residual rates,higher rates of small intestinal propulsion and gastric slow wave main frequency and power(P<0.05);(ii)levels of motilin,gastrin,and 5-HT increased,while NO level decreased(P<0.05);(iii)serum CCK content increased,while CGRP and NPY levels decreased(P<0.05);(iv)CCK protein positive expression increased,while CGRP and NPY protein positive expression decreased in the hypothalamus,gastric antrum,duodenum(P<0.05);(v)ghrelin protein expressions increased,and substance P protein expression decreased in the hypothalamus,spinal cord,gastric antrum,and colon(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in these indicators between the electroacupuncture group and the cisapride group.Conclusion Electroacupuncture at"Zusanli"and"Taichong"can effectively alleviate gastrointestinal motility disorders in FD rats,regulate gastrointestinal hormone levels,reverse abnormal brain-gut peptide expression,and regulate brain-gut interaction balance.

The UV cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) technique was first established in 2003. Sequences of target RNAs and binding sites of specific RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) were identified within the entire transcriptome by UV cross-linking, immunoprecipitation, reverse transcription, and subsequent high-throughput sequencing. Over the last 20 years, CLIP has been continuously modified and improved. Advanced operability and accuracy have extended its application category. Currently, the widely used CLIP technologies include high-throughput sequencing with crosslinking-immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP), photoactivatable-ribonucleoside-enhanced CLIP (PAR-CLIP), individual nucleotide resolution CLIP (iCLIP), enhanced CLIP (eCLIP), infrared-CLIP (irCLIP), etc. HITS-CLIP combines high-throughput sequencing with UV cross-linking immunoprecipitation. The 254 nm UV cross-linking and RNAase digestion steps allow the technology to capture transient intracellular RBP-RNA interactions. However, there are limitations in the efficiency of UV cross-linking, with low resolution and high intrinsic background noise. For PAR-CLIP, photoactivatable ribonucleoside was incorporated into RNA molecules, and RBP cross-linked with RNA by 365 nm UV light to improve cross-linking efficiency and resolution. Cross-linking mediated single-base mutations provide more accurate binding site information and reduce interference from background sequences. Long-term alternative nucleotide incorporation, on the other hand, can be cytotoxic and may skew experimental results. iCLIP can identify RBP-RNA cross-linking sites at the single nucleotide level through cDNA circularization and subsequent re-linearization steps, but it has more experimental procedures, and partial cDNAs lost in the circularization step are inevitable. eCLIP discards the radioisotope labeling procedure and reduces RNA loss by ligating adaptors in two separate steps, greatly improving the library-building efficiency, and reducing bias associated with PCR amplification; however, the efficiency of immunoprecipitation cannot be visually assessed at the early stage of the experiment. The irCLIP technique replaces radioisotopes with infrared dyes and greatly reduces the initial number of cells required for the experiment; however, an infrared imaging scanner is essential for the irCLIP application. To address more particular scientific issues, derivative CLIP-related techniques such as PAPERCLIP, cTag-PAPERCLIP, hiCLIP, and tiCLIP have also been developed in recent years. In practice, the aforementioned CLIP approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. When deciding on a technical strategy, we should take into account our experimental objectives and conditions, such as whether we need to precisely define the RNA site for binding to RBP; whether we have the necessary experimental conditions for working with radioisotopes or performing infrared imaging; the amount of initial sample size, and so on. In addition, the CLIP technique has a relatively large number of procedures and can be divided into several successive experimental modules. We can try to combine modules from different mainstream CLIP technologies to meet our experimental requirements, which also gives us more opportunities to improve and refine them and to build more targeted derivative CLIP technologies according to our research objectives.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of multidisciplinary team (MDT) model combined with Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracic surgery in the treatment of early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From July 2020 to December 2021, the patients with NSCLC who received Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracic surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command were collected. According to whether MDT were performed before hospitalization, the patients were divided into an MDT group and a common group. The recovery and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 187 patients were enrolled, including 81 males and 106 females, aged 63 (56, 67) years. There were 85 patients in the MDT group, and 102 patients in the common group. Compared with the common group, the MDT group had lower incidence of postoperative complications (9.4% vs. 29.4%, P=0.017), shorter intraoperative operation time [55 (45, 61) min vs. 79 (65, 90) min, P<0.001], and less intraoperative blood loss [25 (20, 30) mL vs. 30 (20, 50) mL, P=0.029] in the same operation mode. In addition, the drainage volume on the second postoperative day [270 (200, 350) mL vs. 215 (190, 300) mL, P=0.004], the number of dissected lymph nodes groups [6 (5, 6) groups vs. 5 (3, 6) groups, P=0.004] and the number of dissected lymph nodes [16 (13, 21) vs. 13 (9, 20), P=0.005] in the MDT group were significantly better than those in the common group. The differences in the postoperative intubation time and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion MDT combined with Da Vinci robot-assisted thoracic surgery can further reduce the risk of surgery, improve the clinical treatment effect, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and accelerate the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of totally no tube three-port thoracoscopic surgery (TNTT) for thymic tumor via lateral thoracic approach. Methods The clinical data of patients with thymoma admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from November 2021 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a TNTT group and a single utility port video-assisted thoracic surgery (SVATS) group according to different surgical methods. The clinical data were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 111 patients were collected. There were 44 patients in the TNTT group, including 20 males and 24 females, with an average age of 60.11±8.64 years, and 67 patients in the SVATS group, including 30 males and 37 females, with an average age of 62.40±7.92 years. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the baseline data (P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay and intraoperative blood loss were shorter or less in the TNTT group (P<0.05), and the visual analogue scale score 48 hours after the operation was smaller in the SVATS group (P<0.05). Conclusion TNTT has a good surgical safety, and can shorten postoperative hospital stay, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and has significant advantages in enhanced recovery after surgery, but SVATS can reduce postoperative pain in patients.

Objective To analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy. Methods Cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was used to analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy performed by the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from February 2018 to December 2020. The learning curve was obtained by fitting, and R2 was used to judge the goodness of fitting. The clinical data of patients in different stages of learning curve were compared and analyzed. Results The first 50 patients who received Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy were included, including 24 males and 26 females, with an average age of 61.9±10.6 years. The operation time decreased gradually with the accumulation of operation patients. The goodness of fitting coefficient reached the maximum value when R2=0.907 (P<0.001), CUSUM (n) =0.009×n3−0.953×n2+24.968×n−7.033 (n was the number of patients). The fitting curve achieved vertex crossing when the number of patients reached 17. Based on this, 50 patients were divided into two stages: a learning and improving stage and a mastering stage. There were statistical differences in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, number of lymph node dissection, postoperative catheter time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications between the two stages (P<0.05). Conclusion It shows that the technical competency for assuring feasible perioperative outcomes can be achieved when the cumulative number of surgical patients reaches 17.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects and pregnancy outcomes of using luteal phase long protocol and GnRH antagonist protocol in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)who have failed their first GnRH antagonist protocol therapy.Methods The clinical data of 163 PCOS patients who underwent IVF/ICSI-ET were retrieved.After the failure of their first GnRH antagonist protocol treatment,they were divided into two groups in the second controlled ovarian hyperstimulation(COH)cycle:Luteal phase long protocol group(n=95)and Gn-RH antagonist protocol group(n=68).A retrospective analysis and comparison of basic clinical data,clinical and laboratory indicators,and pregnancy outcomes between two groups were conducted.Results ① There was no sta-tistically significant difference in basic clinical indicators between two group except LH.② Compared the first and second cycle treatments of patients in the luteal phase long protocol group,the initiation dose of gonadotropin(Gn),total number of Gn days,total Gn usage,estradiol(E2)on the day of hCG injection,number of retrieved eggs,oocyte maturation rate,2PN fertilization rate,2PN cleavage rate,blastocyst formation rate,high-quality blas-tocyst formation rate,and moderate to severe OHSS rate were significantly higher than those in the first GnRH an-tagonist cycle(P＜0.05).The GnRH antagonist protocol group also showed similar improvements.③ The com-parison of the second COH cycle between two groups showed that the total number of Gn days,total Gn usage,and total Gn cost in the luteal phase long protocol group were significantly higher(P＜0.05),while the E2 and LH on the day of hCG injection,and the maturation rate of eggs were significantly lower than those in the GnRH antagonist protocol group(P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the number of retrieved eggs,2PN fertilization,2PN cleavage,blastocyst formation rate,high-quality blastocyst formation rate,and OHSS rate between the two groups;④ The comparison of fresh transplantation cycles for the second COH cycle between the two groups showed that the luteal phase long protocol fresh transplantation rate,implantation rate,clinical preg-nancy rate,and live birth rate were slightly higher than those of the GnRH antagonist protocol group,but the differ-ence was not statistically significant.Comparing the outcomes of pregnancy following the initial frozen-thawed em-bryo transfer(FET)between two groups,the biochemical pregnancy rate and clinical pregnancy rate of the GnRH antagonist protocol group were higher than those of the luteal phase long protocol group(P＜0.05).However,no significant statistical variations were found in implantation rate,live birth rate,neonatal gestational age,and birth weight.Conclusion For PCOS patients who fail the first GnRH antagonist protocol,an appropriate increase in the initiating dose and usage of Gn can achieve satisfactory pregnancy outcomes with both protocols.Compared with change to a luteal phase long protocol,reusing the GnRH antagonist protocol still maintains its long-standing advan-tages,such as shorter total Gn days,lower costs,and better patient compliance.

The new-generation non-invasive prenatal screening technology (NIPT2.0) is a new method successfully realized in recent years based on high-throughput sequencing to synchronously and accurately detect fetal chromosomal aneuploidies, microdeletion/microduplication syndromes and dominantly inherited monogenic disorders. NIPT2.0 can circumvent the shortcomings of previous non-invasive prenatal screening techniques (NIPT and NIPT Plus) including incapability to detect fetal monogenic disorders, insufficient accuracy of detection and low positive predictive values for certain chromosomal abnormalities (in particular trisomy 13, sex chromosomal abnormalities, and small-segment microdeletions and microduplication syndromes). How to apply NIPT2.0 reasonably and normatively to maximize its clinical value has become an issue which requires clarification. The Reproductive Health Branch of the Chinese Maternal and Child Health Care Association has organized experts to fully discuss and jointly drafted this consensus, which has put forwards suggestions over the clinical application strategy for NIPT2.0, including the scope of application, target disease, pre-test consultation, clinical application pathway, post-test genetic counseling and intervention, quality control and limitations, for the reference by peers, with a view to standardize its application and provide better clinical service.

Objective:To analyze the detection of colorectal advanced neoplasms in the population who underwent colonoscopy screening in Henan Province as part of the Urban China Cancer Screening Program and its influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was employed. Based on the Cancer Screening Program conducted in Henan Province, the study enrolled 7 454 urban residents who manifested no symptoms and were recruited from eight cities in the province, including Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Anyang, Luoyang, Nanyang, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, and Puyang from October 2013 to October 2019, and participated in colonoscopy screening. The χ 2 test was used to compare the detection rates of colorectal advanced neoplasms among participants with different characteristics, and a multivariate logistic stepwise regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the detection rates. Results:A total of 7 454 subjects underwent colonoscopy screening, and 112 cases of colorectal advanced neoplasms were detected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that older age, smoking, higher meat intake, history of diabetes, and family history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative were risk factors for colorectal advanced neoplasms. The detection rate was significantly higher in people aged 60-74 years compared with those aged 40-49 years, with an odds ratio ( OR) of 2.04 (95% CI: 1.23-3.38).The rates were higher in people who smoked than those who did not smoke, with an OR of 2.21 (95% CI: 1.48-3.31), and in people who consumed more meat than those who consumed less, with an OR of 1.53 (95% CI: 1.04-2.26). Those with diabetes had a higher detection rate compared with those without, with an OR of 1.69 (95% CI: 1.07-2.69), and those with a first-degree family history of colorectal cancer had a higher detection rate than those without, with an OR of 1.64 (95% CI: 1.09-2.46). Conclusion:The detection rate of colorectal advanced neoplasms through colonoscopy screening in Henan Province covered by the Urban China Cancer Screening Program is 1.50%. Older age, smoking, higher meat intake, history of diabetes, and family history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative are identified as risk factors for colorectal advanced neoplasms.
