Based on the teaching concept of constructivism, this study aims to promote independent inquiry-based learning and clinical thinking among students and establish the guiding ideology of "full participation, process control, in-depth discussion, and expansion of thinking". A blending learning model was adopted with offline inquiry-based group learning and in-class defense and comment, as well as online teacher-student interaction and supervision to promote learning. Case-problem-based learning (CPBL) of pathophysiology was carried out among the medical students in the class of 2017, and process management was strengthened to effectively manage the two key links of data retrieval and group discussion. The analysis of 176 teaching evaluations collected at the end of the semester show that in terms of the overall evaluation of CPBL teaching, 162 students (92.05%) had high evaluation on teaching objectives, organization, cases, and personal gains and held a very or relatively favorable attitude. There were more negative feedbacks on "appropriate time allocation"; 21 students (11.93%) held a relatively or very disapproving attitude, and 149 students (84.66%) "felt very tired". In terms of teaching effect evaluation, 150 students (85.23%) strongly or relatively agreed that CPBL teaching may help to understand professional knowledge, stimulate learning enthusiasm and initiative, improve problem solving ability, emphasize clinical practice to cultivate clinical thinking, supervise and promote learning, and enhance team cooperation and teacher-student communication. In terms of the evaluation of teachers, 167 students (94.89%) thought that teachers were rigorous, responsible, and enthusiastic in teaching, attached importance to process management, and did well in effective guidance and thinking inspiration (strongly or relatively agree). The above results suggest that the CPBL teaching reform of pathophysiology based on process management can effectively promote in-depth inquiry-based independent learning and the cultivation of clinical thinking and improve teaching effectiveness, but further improvement is needed for teaching arrangement and time allocation.

Objective To evaluate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in preoperative surgical diagnosis of new classification criteria for lung adenocarcinoma, which is helpful to develop a deep learning model of artificial intelligence in the auxiliary diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Methods The clinical data of 173 patients with ground-glass lung nodules with a diameter of ≤2 cm, who were admitted from October 2018 to June 2020 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 55 were males and 118 were females with a median age of 61 (28-82) years. Pulmonary nodules in different parts of the same patient were treated as independent events, and a total of 181 subjects were included. According to the new classification criteria of pathological types, they were divided into pre-invasive lesions (atypical adenomatous hyperplasia and and adenocarcinoma in situ), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and invasive adenocarcinoma. The relationship between 3D reconstruction parameters and different pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma, and their diagnostic values were analyzed by multiplanar reconstruction and volume reconstruction techniques. Results In different pathological types of lung adenocarcinoma, the diameter of lung nodules (P<0.001), average CT value (P<0.001), consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR, P<0.001), type of nodules (P<0.001), nodular morphology (P<0.001), pleural indenlation sign (P<0.001), air bronchogram sign (P=0.010), vascular access inside the nodule (P=0.005), TNM staging (P<0.001) were significantly different, while nodule growth sites were not (P=0.054). At the same time, it was also found that with the increased invasiveness of different pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma, the proportion of dominant signs of each group gradually increased. Meanwhile, nodule diameter and the average CT value or CTR were independent risk factors for malignant degree of lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion Imaging signs of lung adenocarcinoma in 3D reconstruction, including nodule diameter, the average CT value, CTR, shape, type, vascular access conditions, air bronchogram sign, pleural indenlation sign, play an important role in the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma subtype and can provide guidance for personalized therapy to patients in clinics.

4K laparoscopy brings opportunities and challenges to the development of rectal surgery. 4K laparoscopy can truly provide the structure of abdominal and pelvic fascia, so that surgeons can see more subtle anatomical structure. The clear and real picture under 4K laparoscopic system can reduce visual fatigue of surgeons, which make the operation easier and safer. Radical resection of right colon cancer includes complete mesocolic excision and D 3 lymphadenectomy. Through 4K laparoscopic system, surgeons can easily observe the fascia structure of right mesocolon and its mesenteric bed, distinguish the vascular anatomical relationship at the mesenteric root, which make D 3 lymphadenectomy safer with dissection of lymph nodes completely. The authors comprehensively analyze the related research progress at home and abroad, and systematically elaborate the region of dissection and significance of 4K laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer.

Laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal can-cer involves total mesorectal excision (TME), D 3 lymphadenectomy, and pelvic autonomic nerve preservation, the goal of which is trying to achieve completely radical cure for cancer and urogenital function preservation. In the actual operation procedure, the understanding of fascial anatomy in abdominal and pelvic cavity will help us to improve the quality of TME surgery for rectal cancer and to preserve the pelvic autonomic nerves. When entering the pelvic cavity, the identification of fascia propria of mesorectum, visceral fascia, pre-hypogastric nerve fascia, presacral fascia, ligament structures around the rectum and the Denonvilliers′ fascia in front of the rectum will help us to protect the pelvic autonomic nerves and avoid surgical injury. So the authors focus on how to identify the pelvic fascia structure clearly in laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer, furthermore, to master the concepts of fascia anatomy to realize TME for rectal cancer and to achieve pelvic autonomic nerve preservation.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the potential active ingredients and mechanism of Alpinia officinarum in the treatment of gastric ulcer. METHODS :By network pharmacology method ,the active ingredients and action targets of A. officinarum were screened through TCMSP and TCMID database retrieval [oral bioavailability (OB)≥30% and drug like (DL)≥0.18] and literature mining. Targets of gastric ulcer were obtained in the TTD ,CTD,OMIM,PubMed,DrugBank and DisGeNet databases. Venny 2.1 software was used to screen common targets for the active ingredients of A. officinarum and gastric ulcer. Then ,the protein-protein interaction(PPI)of the common targets was obtained by STRING database ,and the PPI network was constructed and analysed by using Cytoscape 3.7.1 software. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the common targets were performed by using ClusterProfiler R package. Finally ,Cytoscape 3.7.1 software was used to construct and analyze the network diagram of “active ingredients-targets-pathways ”. RESULTS :Totally 19 active ingredients of A. officinarum ,209 active ingredients targets and 195 gastric ulcer related targets ,involving 35 common targets ,were screened out. The average node degree of PPI network of common targets was 18,and the average intermediate number was 16.9. There were 11 key targets ,i.e. PTGS2,VEGFA,IL6, IL1B,CCL2,MYC,MMP9,EGFR,HIF1A,ESR1,BCL2L1. The common targets were mainly concentrated in the cell constituents such as the platelet α granule lumen and mitochondria outer membrane ,involved in the biological processes as oxidative stress ,inflammatory response regulation ,and molecular functions as protein phosphatase binding ,growth factor receptor binding. They were also enriched in the signal pathways such as PI3K/Akt,HIF-1. The network of“active ingredients- targets-pathways”showed the active ingredients such as quer- cetin,apigenin,kaempferol and galangin in A. officinarum played an anti-gastric ulcer effect by acting on PTGS2,NOS2, BCL2, IL6, VEGFA, IL1B, MMP9, BCL2L1 and other targets to jointly regulate PI 3K-Akt,HIF-1,TNF,IL-17, NF-κB and other cell proliferation,angiogenesis,and infla- 163.com mmation related pathways. CONCLUSIONS :A. officinarum shows anti-gastric ulcer effect with the characteristics of multi-ingredient ,multi-target and multi-path.

Digestive tract reconstruction with side-to-side esophagojejunostomy is one of the most commonly used digestive tract reconstruction methods after laparoscopic total gastrectomy. It does not need an auxiliary incision. The linear stapler is used to directly enter the abdominal cavity through the Trocar to perform side-to-side anastomosis of esophagojejunostomy. The common hole can be closed by hand suture or linear stapler. 4K laparoscopy can present a clearer and more realistic view to the operators, so as to realize side-to-side esophagojejunostomy more accurately, to reduce the postoperative anastomo-tic related complications and improve the safety of the operation. This article will elaborate the technical key points and difficulties of esophagojejunostomy in 4K laparoscopic total gastrectomy, as well as the prevention and treatment of anastomotic related complications.
