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 investigate the effect of dioscin on renal injury in septic rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS The septic rat model was induced by using cecal ligation and puncture. Sixty model rats were randomly divided into model group （0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution）， dioscin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （30， 60， 120 mg/kg） and dexamethasone group （positive control， 10 mg/kg）， with 12 rats per group； another 12 rats were selected as the sham operation group （0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution）. After 15 minutes of modeling， rats in each group were injected with medicine/0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution via the tail vein. Twenty-four hours after administration， the levels of creatinine （Cr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin （NGAL）， kidney injury molecule-1 （KIM- 1）， interleukin 6 （IL-6）， IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in serum and malondialdehyde （MDA） in renal tissue， superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity and the protein expressions of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） were detected； renal histomorphology was observed. RESULTS Compared with model group， pathological injury of renal tissue was improved significantly in dioscin low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups； the levels of Cr， BUN， NGAL， KIM-1， IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α in serum， MDA level and protein expression of NLRP3 in renal tissue were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）； SOD activity in renal tissue， protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were increased significantly （P＜0.05）， in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. The pathological damage of renal tissue in the dioscin high-dose group was similar to dexamethasone group， and there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of the above indicators （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Dioscin can activate the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome， and realize the inhibition of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress， so as to protect the kidney injury in sepsis.

Bone organoids can simulate the complex structure and function of the bone tissues, which makes them a frontier technology in organoid researches. Bone organoids show a tremendous potential of applications in bone disease modeling, bone injury repair, and medicine screening. Although advancements have been made so far in constructing bone organoids with functional structures like mineralization, bone marrow, trabecular bone, callus, woven bone, etc, the researches in this field are confronted with numerous challenges such as lack of standardized construction strategies and unified evaluation criteria, which limits their further promotion and application. To standardize researches in bone organoids, the Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, the Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, the Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine organized related experts to formulate Expert consensus on the construction, evaluation, and application of bone organoids ( version 2024) based on an evidence-based approach. A total of 17 recommendations were put forth, aiming to standardize researches and clinical applications of bone organoids and enhance their value in scientific research and clinical practice.

Objective:To observe alterations in center retinal thickness (CRT) in patients diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) before and after undergoing superselective arterial thrombolysis (IAT) treatment.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From August 2022 to September 2023, 12 patients (12 eyes) diagnosed with CRAO and treated with IAT at the ophthalmology department of Shenzhen Second People's Hospital. Among these patients, there were 8 males (8 eyes) and 4 females (4 eyes), all experiencing unilateral onset. The mean age was (47.00±15.06) years. The mean duration from onset to thrombolysis was (30.00±30.42) h. All eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessments; additionally, 6 eyes underwent Fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). BCVA assessments were conducted using a standard logarithmic chart and transformed into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) values for statistical analysis. The OCT measured CRT at various locations around the macular fovea (M), including upper (S1, S3), lower (I1, I3), nasal (N1, N3), and temporal (T1, T3) areas at 1 mm and 3 mm distances from the fovea. CRT was defined as the vertical distance between the inner retinal boundary membrane and the inner interface of the retinal pigment epithelial layer. Pre- and post-IAT examinations were performed using the same equipment and methodologies within a 24-hour interval. Changes in CRT at different macular points were compared and observed, while arterial imaging time changes were assessed in 6 eyes that underwent FFA. Paired t-tests were utilized to analyze logMAR BCVA, CRT at different locations, and arterial imaging time pre- and post-treatment. Results:Prior to IAT treatment, the logMAR BCVA for the affected eye was 3.48±1.42, while the arterial imaging time for the 6 eyes undergoing FFA examination was (27.50±5.47) s. After 24 hours, the logMAR BCVA had improved to 2.35±1.59 for the affected eye, with 9 eyes showing varying degrees of BCVA improvement. The arterial imaging time was (24.17±7.28) s post-treatment. The differences in logMAR BCVA and arterial imaging time before and after treatment were found to be statistically significant ( t=2.489, 3.262; P<0.05). Additionally, the comparison of CRT at S3 ( t=2.871), I1 ( t=2.325), and T3 ( t=3.446) before and after treatment yielded statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conversely, the comparison of CRT at S1 ( t=1.879), I3 ( t=1.915), N1 ( t=2.001), N3 ( t=1.987), T1 ( t=2.180), and M ( t=-0.490) showed no statistically significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:IAT treatment for CRAO has been shown to be effective in achieving therapeutic effects by reducing CRT in the macular area. However, the short-term improvement in retinal edema in the macular area is limited.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.
