RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Manual therapy is a crucial component in rehabilitation education, yet there is a lack of models for evaluating learning in this area. This study aims to develop a foundational evaluation model for manual therapy learning among rehabilitation students, based on the Delphi method, and to analyze the theoretical basis and practical significance of this model. METHODS: An initial framework for evaluating the fundamentals of manual therapy learning was constructed through a literature review and theoretical analysis. Using the Delphi method, consultations were conducted with young experts in the field of rehabilitation from January 2024 to March 2024. Fifteen experts completed three rounds of consultation. Each round involved analysis using Dview software, refining and adjusting indicators based on expert opinions, and finally summarizing all retained indicators using Mindmaster. RESULTS: The effective response rates for the three rounds of questionnaires were 88%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Expert familiarity scores were 0.91, 0.95, and 0.95; coefficient of judgment were 0.92, 0.93, and 0.93; authority coefficients were 0.92, 0.94, and 0.94, respectively. Based on three rounds of consultation, the model established includes 3 primary indicators, 10 secondary indicators, 17 tertiary indicators, and 9 quaternary indicators. A total of 24 statistical indicators were finalized, with 8 under the Cognitive Abilities category, 10 under the Practical Skills category, and 6 under the Emotional Competence category. CONCLUSION: This study has developed an evaluation model for manual therapy learning among rehabilitation students, based on the Delphi method. The model includes multi-level evaluation indicators covering the key dimensions of Cognitive Abilities, Practical Skills, and Emotional Competence. These indicators provide a preliminary evaluation framework for manual therapy education and a theoretical basis for future research.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of berberine on morphine analgesia, tolerance, and hyperalgesia. METHODS: Morphine-induced acute tolerance model: mice received intraperitoneal berberine at doses of 2.5, 5.0, and 10 mg/kg; 30 min later, subcutaneous morphine 10 mg/kg was injected every hour for nine continuous h. Morphine 10 mg/kg alone was administered at 24 and 48 h. Morphine-induced chronic tolerance model: mice received intraperitoneal berberine 2.5, 5.0, and 10 mg/kg; 30 min later, 10 mg/kg morphine was injected subcutaneously for eight consecutive days. On the ninth day, morphine 10 mg/kg was given alone. Morphine-induced established tolerance model: mice were injected subcutaneously with morphine 10 mg/kg once a day for eight consecutive days. Berberine 2.5 mg/kg was administered on day one, four, and seven and morphine 10 mg/kg alone on day nine. The baseline latency (T0) and post-treatment latency (T1) were determined by the hot plate test, and the maximum possible analgesic effect (MPAE) was calculated. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide (NO) content in the spinal cord were measured by spectrophotometer. Verification of berberine analgesic effect by blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor: HT-22 and HEK-293 cells transfected with NMDA plasmid were randomly divided into five groups: control group, NMDA group, berberine low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups (5, 10, 20 µmol/L, respectively). Except for the control group, cells were treated with NMDA (HT-22 cells: 20 mmol/L; HEK-293 cells: 50 µmol/L). After 24 h, cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8. The molecular mechanism between berberine and the NMDA receptor was studied by molecular docking. RESULTS: Berberine 2.5 and 5.0 mg/kg could prolong the analgesic time of morphine. In acute and chronic morphine tolerance models, berberine could inhibit the decrease of MPAE and baseline latency (0.05). In the established tolerance model, berberine could rapidly reverse the decreased MPAE (0.05). The combination of berberine and morphine on day one could effectively inhibit the morphine-induced increase of NOS activity and NO content in the spinal cord (0.05). Berberine significantly increased the cell viability of NMDA-induced nerve injury in HT-22 and HEK-293 cells (0.05). Molecular docking showed that berberine binds to the receptor pocket of NMDA. CONCLUSIONS: Berberine could effectively enhance and prolong the duration of morphine analgesia and inhibit the development of morphine-induced tolerance and hyperalgesia. Furthermore, berberine has a certain neuroprotective effect, which may be related to the inhibition of NMDA activity.

BACKGROUND: Genodermatoses are a broad group of disorders with specific or non-specific skin-based phenotypes, most of which are monogenic disorders. However, it's a great challenge to make a precise molecular diagnosis because of the clinical heterogeneity. The genetic and clinical heterogeneity brings great challenges for diagnosis in dermatology. The whole exome sequencing (WES) not only expedites the discovery of the genetic variations, but also contributes to genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Followed by the initial clinical and pathological diagnosis, genetic variations were identified by WES. The pathogenicity of the copy number variations (CNVs) and single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) were evaluated according to ACMG guidelines. Candidate pathogenic SNVs were confirmed by Sanger sequencing in the proband and the family members. RESULTS: Totally 25 cases were recruited. Nine novel variations, including c.5546G > C and c.1457delC in NF1, c.6110G > T in COL7A1, c.2127delG in TSC1, c.1445 C > A and c.1265G > A in TYR, Xp22.31 deletion in STS, c.908 C > T in ATP2A2, c.1371insC in IKBKG, and nine known ones were identified in 16 cases (64%). Prenatal diagnosis was applied in 6 pregnant women by amniocentesis, two of whom carried positive findings. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlighted the value of WES as a first-tier genetic test in determining the molecular diagnosis. We also discovered the distribution of genodermatoses in this district, which provided a novel clinical dataset for dermatologists.

Bone is a highly dynamic organ that undergoes remodeling equally regulated by osteoblast-mediated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. To clarify the regulation of osteoblastogenesis, primary murine osteoblasts are required for an in vitro study. Primary osteoblasts are isolated from neonatal calvariae through digestion with collagenase. However, the number of cells collected from one pup is not sufficient for further in vitro experiments, leading to an increase in the use of euthanized pups. We hypothesized that the viscosity of digested calvariae and digestion solution supplemented with collagenase results in cell clumping and reduction of isolated cells from bones. We simply added Benzonase, a genetically engineered endonuclease that shears all forms of DNAs/RNAs, in order to reduce nucleic acid-mediated viscosity. We found that addition of Benzonase increased the number of collected osteoblasts by three fold compared to that without Benzonase through reduction of viscosity. Additionally, Benzonase has no effect on cellular identity and function. The new osteoblast isolation protocol with Benzonase minimizes the number of neonatal pups required for an in vitro study and expands the concept that isolation of other populations of cells including osteocytes that are difficult to be purified could be modified by Benzonase.
