RESUMEN
Due to the pervasive uncertainty in human society, super large and megacities are increasingly prone to becoming high-risk areas. However, the construction of urban resilience in this new era lacks sufficient research on the core conditions and complex interactive mechanisms governing it. Hence, this study proposes a specialized event-oriented framework for governing urban resilience in China based on the pressure-state-response (PSR) theory. We examined COVID-19 cases in 30 cities across China and analyzed the distribution of prevention and control achievements between high-level and non-high-level conditions. Our findings reveal the following key points: (1) High-level achievements in COVID-19 prevention and control rely on three condition configurations: non-pressure-responsive type, pressure-state type, and pressure-responsive type. (2) High economic resilience may indicate a robust state of urban systems amid demographic pressures. In cities experiencing fewer event pressure factors, the application of digital technology plays a crucial role in daily urban management. (3) The implementation of flexible policies proves beneficial in mitigating the impact of objective pressure conditions, such as environmental factors, on urban resilience.
RESUMEN
Objective:Exercise is a key way to control the blood glucose,which can improve blood lipids and blood pressure,reduce glycated hemoglobin levels,and increase insulin sensitivity.It is of great significance for maintaining blood glucose homeostasis.This study aims to explore the optimal exercise combinations suitable for diabetic patients,and to provide scientific and effective personalized exercise guidance for diabetic patients. Methods:The physical examination data and questionnaire results of were collected from the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.The study was involved in 3 867 diabetes from January,2020 to December,2021.The basic information and living habits were obtained through questionnaires.The fasting blood samples were collected to measure the levels of total cholesterol(TCh),triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and fasting blood glucose.Physical measurements included height,weight,waistline,hipline,and blood pressure.Categorical variables were tested using chi-square tests,and continuous variables were tested using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test.Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between exercise behaviors(frequency,duration,and intensity),years of exercise,diet habits,medicine,and fasting blood glucose.The relationship between different exercise behaviors and various indexes(BMI,blood pressure,blood lipids,blood glucose)was analyzed by multiple rising sun rose plots.The polar thermal diagram showed the relationship of exercise behaviors with the best expected effect. Results:Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there were significant differences in other indexes except LDL-C(P=0.681)among groups with different exercise behaviors(all P<0.01).The multiple rising sun rose plots showed that diabetic patients who did moderate to high intensity exercise more than 5 times a week for more than 30 min each time had a healthier BMI,blood lipid levels,blood glucose levels,and blood pressure.Polar thermal diagram showed that low-intensity exercise once or twice a week requires 30 to 60 min or more of exercise to achieve the desired results.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that frequency(β=-0.208,95% CI-0.356 to-0.059,P=0.006),duration(β=-0.227,95% CI-0.387 to-0.066,P=0.006),intensity of exercise(β=-0.110,95% CI-0.218 to-0.002,P=0.046),diet habits(β=0.462,95% CI 0.295 to 0.556,P<0.001)and medicine(β=-0.520,95% CI-0.720 to-0.312,P<0.001)were correlated with fasting blood glucose. Conclusion:Moderate to high intensity exercise for more than 30 min and 5 times a week is the most beneficial combination for diabetes.Low exercise intensity should be combined with higher exercise frequency and longer exercise time to achieve the desired effect.With the increase of exercise intensity,the relationship between low exercise frequency and long exercise time is weakened.
RESUMEN
This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of resveratrol(Res) on poor ovarian response(POR) in mice. The common target genes shared by Res and POR were predicted by network pharmacology, used for Gene Ontology(GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment, and then validated by animal experiments. The mice with regular estrous cycle after screening were randomized into normal, POR, and low-and high-dose(20 and 40 mg·kg~(-1), respectively) Res groups. The normal group was administrated with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution by gavage, and the mice in other groups with tripterygium glycosides suspension(50 mg·kg~(-1)) by gavage for 2 weeks. After the modeling, the mice in low-and high-dose Res groups were treated with Res by gavage for 2 weeks, and the mice in normal and POR groups with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution by gavage. Ovulation induction and sample collection were carried out on the day following the end of treatment. Vaginal smears were collected for observation of the changes in the estrous cycle, the counting of retrieved oocytes, and the measurement of ovarian wet weight and ovarian index. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of anti-mullerian hormone(AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), estradiol(E_2), and luteinizing hormone(LH) in the serum. The ovarian tissue morphology and granulosa cell apoptosis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL), respectively. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K), protein kinase B(AKT), forkhead box O(FOXO) 3a, hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1α, B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax). A total of 222 common targets shared by Res and POR were collected. GO annotation indicated that these targets were mainly involved in oxidative stress response. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that Res can intervene in POR via PI3K/AKT, HIF-1, and FOXO signaling pathways. Animal experiments showed that the model group had higher rate of estrous cycle disorders, lower number and poorer morphology of normally developed follicles at all levels, more atretic follicles, higher apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells, lower number of retrieved oocytes, lower ovarian wet weight and ovarian index, higher serum levels of FSH and LH, lower levels of AMH and E_2, higher expression levels of HIF-1α, FOXO3a and Bax, and lower expression levels of PI3K, AKT, and Bcl-2 in the ovarian tissue than the normal group. Compared with the POR group, low-and high-dose Res decreased the rate of estrous cycle disorders, improved the follicle number and morphology, reduced atretic follicles, promoted the apoptosis of ovarian granulosa cells, increased retrieved oocytes, ovarian wet weight and ovarian index, and lowered serum FSH and LH levels. Moreover, Res down-regulated the expression levels of HIF-1α, FOXO3a and Bax, and up-regulated the expression levels of PI3K, AKT and Bcl-2 in the ovarian tissue. In summary, Res can inhibit apoptosis and mitigate poor ovarian response in mice by regulating the PI3K/AKT/FOXO3a and HIF-1α pathways.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the graded expression, subcutaneous depth, and diameter of elbow veins (cephalic vein, median vein, basilic vein) in patients with metabolic syndrome, to provide a method and theoretical basis for precise puncture of peripheral veins in obese patients.Methods:From January to October 2021, a total of 767 patients with metabolic syndrome with gastric volume reduction were selected as the study subjects by retrospective cohort study from the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. According to the quartile Q1, M and Q3 of BMI level, they were divided into four groups: group A, group B, group C and group D. The subcutaneous depth and diameter of the cephalic vein, median vein and basilic vein were measured by B-ultrasound, and the three veins were evaluated and graded according to the grading criteria of superficial veins.The correlation between BMI and the subcutaneous depth and diameter of the three elbow veins was analyzed, and collected data such as puncture method and puncture times. Results:There was no significant correlation between BMI and subcutaneous depth and vessel diameter of the basilic vein ( r = 0.041 and 0.046, both P>0.05), the level of BMI was positively correlated with the subcutaneous depth and diameter of cephalic vein ( r = 0.275 and 0.117, both P<0.05) and median vein ( r = 0.236 and 0.148, both P<0.05), and a linear regression relationship was found ( OR values were 1.013-1.031, all P<0.05). 187 cases had direct puncture conditions under direct vision, and the success rate of one puncture was 86.63%(162/187).Venipuncture was completed under the guidance of B-mode ultrasound for 25 cases with failure under direct vision and 580 cases without direct puncture conditions under direct vision, the success rate of one puncture was 98.51% (596/605). Conclusions:With the increase of BMI level in patients with metabolic syndrome, the depth and diameter of both cephalic vein and median vein increase, venous exposure is difficult to express. The visual vein puncture guided by B-ultrasound is more accurate and catheterization is more reliable.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) at points on abdomen and back meridians in the treatment of infantile colic.Methods: A total of 120 infants with intestinal colic were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 60 cases in each group. In the control group, the parents of the infants were given soothing and health education. In addition to the intervention used in the control group, the observation group was treated with Tuina at points on abdomen and back meridians once a day for 5 consecutive days as a course of treatment. The pain scale score and clinical symptoms of the two groups were recorded before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The pain scale score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the 24 h behavior diary indicators, the daily attack duration, the daily attack times, and the weekly attack days in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tuina at points on abdomen and back meridians is effective and safe in the treatment of infantile colic.
RESUMEN
The continual emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, in particular the newly emerged Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant, has rendered ineffective a number of previously EUA approved SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody therapies. Furthermore, even those approved antibodies with neutralizing activity against Omicron are reportedly ineffective against the subset of Omicron variants that contain a R346K substitution, demonstrating the continued need for discovery and characterization of candidate therapeutic antibodies with the breadth and potency of neutralizing activity required to treat newly diagnosed COVID-19 linked to recently emerged variants of concern. Following a campaign of antibody discovery based on the vaccination of Harbour H2L2 mice with defined SARS-CoV-2 spike domains, we have characterized the activity of a large collection of Spike-binding antibodies and identified a lead neutralizing human IgG1 LALA antibody, STI-9167. STI-9167 has potent, broad-spectrum neutralizing activity against the current SARS-COV-2 variants of concern and retained activity against the Omicron and Omicron + R346K variants in both pseudotype and live virus neutralization assays. Furthermore, STI-9167 nAb administered intranasally or intravenously provided protection against weight loss and reduced virus lung titers to levels below the limit of quantitation in Omicron-infected K18-hACE2 transgenic mice. With this established activity profile, a cGMP cell line has been developed and used to produce cGMP drug product intended for use in human clinical trials.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the therapeutic effect of Epothilone D on traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) in rats.@*METHODS@#Forty-two SD rats were randomized to receive intraperitoneal injection of 1.0 mg/kg Epothilone D or DMSO (control) every 3 days until day 28, and rat models of TON were established on the second day after the first administration. On days 3, 7, and 28, examination of flash visual evoked potentials (FVEP), immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting were performed to examine the visual pathway features, number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), GAP43 expression level in damaged axons, and changes of Tau and pTau-396/404 in the retina and optic nerve.@*RESULTS@#In Epothilone D treatment group, RGC loss rate was significantly decreased by 19.12% (P=0.032) on day 3 and by 22.67% (P=0.042) on day 28 as compared with the rats in the control group, but FVEP examination failed to show physiological improvement in the visual pathway on day 28 in terms of the relative latency of N2 wave (P=0.236) and relative amplitude attenuation of P2-N2 wave (P=0.441). The total Tau content in the retina of the treatment group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group on day 3 (P < 0.001), showing a consistent change with ptau-396/404 level. In the optic nerve axons, the total Tau level in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group on day 7 (P=0.002), but the changes of the total Tau and pTau-396/404 level did not show an obvious correlation. Epothilone D induced persistent expression of GAP43 in the damaged axons, detectable even on day 28 of the experiment.@*CONCLUSION@#Epothilone D treatment can protect against TON in rats by promoting the survival of injured RGCs, enhancing Tau content in the surviving RGCs, reducing Tau accumulation in injured axons, and stimulating sustained regeneration of axons.

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)is a group of diseases which occurred in the upper respiratory tract with transient, recurrent, partial or complete obstruction during night sleep. It can affect the regulation of hemodynamics, endocrine systems and autonomic nerve, and then result in the reduction of body oxygen saturation, chronic hypoxia and hypercapnia. Beside being an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, many studies have shown that it is also associated with ocular surface diseases in OSAHS, such as floppy eyelid syndrome, dry eye, keratoconus, etc., but there is still a lack of perfect systematic analysis. This paper reviews the relationship between OSAHS and relevant ocular surface diseases including pathogenesis,clinical manifestations and treatment progress, in order to reduce the ophthalmic complications of OSAHS patients in clinical diagnosis and treatment,and better improve the quality of life of patients.
RESUMEN
Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome (ASS) is one of the most severe spermatogenic failures of all infertility in men. The cognition of ASS has experienced a tortuous process. Over the past years, with the in-depth understanding of spermatogenesis and the emergence of new genetic research technologies, the unraveling of the genetic causes of spermatogenic failure has become highly active. From these advances, we established a genetic background and made significant progress in the discovery of the genetic causes of ASS. It is important to identify pathogenic genes and mutations in ASS to determine the biological reasons for the occurrence of the disease as well as provide genetic diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with this syndrome. In this review, we enumerate various technological developments, which have made a positive contribution to the discovery of candidate genes for ASS from the past to the present. Simultaneously, we summarize the known genetic etiology of this phenotype and the clinical outcomes of treatments in the present. Furthermore, we propose perspectives for further study and application of genetic diagnosis and assisted reproductive treatment in the future.

RESUMEN
Smart sensors are expected to be sustainable, stretchable, biocomfortable, and tactile over time, either in terms of mechanical performance, reconfigurability, or energy supply. Here, a biocompatible piezoelectric electronic skin (PENG) is demonstrated on the base of PZT-SEBS (lead zirconate titanate and styrene ethylene butylene styrene) composite elastomer. The highly elastic (with an elasticity of about 950%) PENG can not only harvest mechanical energy from ambient environment, but also show low toxicity and excellent sensing performance toward multiple external stimuli. The synchronous and independent sensing performance toward motion capture, temperature, voice identification, and especially the dual-dimensional force perception promotes its wide application in physiological, sound restoration, and other intelligent systems.

@#AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab(IVB)and ranibizumab(IVR)for the treatment of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)by Meta-analysis.<p>METHODS: The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CQVIP, CBM, OVID and Wanfang were systematically searched. All comparative studies of IVB or IVR as treatment for ROP were included. Two independent reviewers performed the date extraction and assessed study quality. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software. The retreatment rate was defined as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were prevalence of complete vascularization and myopic(spherical equivalent, SE).<p>RESULTS: Eight non-randomized studies, including a total of 885 eyes were included in this study. Compared with IVB-treated children, IVR-treated children have higher retreatment rate \〖<i>OR</i>=0.55, 95% <i>CI</i>:0.34-0.88, <i>P</i><0.05\〗, less spherical equivalent \〖<i>WMD</i>= -1.44, 95% <i>CI</i>: -2.28 to -0.00, <i>P</i><0.05\〗, and the same percentage of complete vascularization \〖<i>OR</i>=2.15, 95% <i>CI</i>: 0.80-0.576,<i> P</i>>0.05\〗.<p>CONCLUSION: Both IVR and IVB can complete the vasculization of the retina in the treatment of type 1 ROP, but the two treatments have their own advantages. IVR has little effect on the refractive effect in children, but its effect in reducing the retreatment rate is worse than IVB.
RESUMEN
SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies represent an important component of the ongoing search for effective treatment of and protection against COVID-19. We report here on the use of a naive phage display antibody library to identify a panel of fully human SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. Following functional profiling in vitro against an early pandemic isolate as well as a recently emerged isolate bearing the D614G Spike mutation, the clinical candidate antibody, STI-1499, and the affinity-engineered variant, STI-2020, were evaluated for in vivo efficacy in the Syrian golden hamster model of COVID-19. Both antibodies demonstrated potent protection against the pathogenic effects of the disease and a dose-dependent reduction of virus load in the lungs, reaching undetectable levels following a single dose of 500 micrograms of STI-2020. These data support continued development of these antibodies as therapeutics against COVID-19 and future use of this approach to address novel emerging pandemic disease threats.
RESUMEN
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The spike (S) protein that mediates SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is a major target for vaccines and therapeutics. Thus, insights into its sequence variations are key to understanding the infection and antigenicity of SARS-CoV-2. A dominant mutational variant at position 614 of the S protein (aspartate to glycine, D614G mutation) was observed in the SARS-CoV-2 genome sequence obtained from the Nextstrain database. Using a pseudovirus-based assay, we identified that S-D614 and S-G614 protein pseudotyped viruses share a common receptor, human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which could be blocked by recombinant ACE2 with the fused Fc region of human IgG1. However, S-D614 and S-G614 protein demonstrated functional differences. First, S-G614 protein could be cleaved by serine protease elastase-2 more efficiently. Second, S-G614 pseudovirus infected 293T-ACE2 cells significantly more efficiently than did the S-D614 pseudovirus, especially in the presence of elastase-2. Third, an elastase inhibitor approved for clinical use blocked elastase-enhanced S-G614 pseudovirus infection. Moreover, 93% (65/70) convalescent sera from patients with COVID-19 could neutralize both S-D614 and S-G614 pseudoviruses with comparable efficiencies, but about 7% (5/70) convalescent sera showed reduced neutralizing activity against the S-G614 pseudovirus. These findings have important implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission and immune interventions.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.View Full Text

Different time periods on the same day, the activity of premature infants in quiet period was (9.87±3.31), which was lower than that in daily period (19.82±5.57), and the difference was statistically significant (t value was 9.761, P<0.01). The sleep time of premature infants during quiet period (25.75±9.07) was significantly higher than that of daily period (4.70±3.89), the difference was statistically significant (t value was-13.457, P<0.01). The levels of cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine in premature infants were (59.42±11.95), (15.78±1.45), (50.90±14.73) μg/L in quiet period, which were significantly lower than those in daily period (71.50±20.56), (25.62±11.95), (79.87±29.91) μg/L (t value was 3.212, 5.169, 3.585, P<0.01). The heart rate and systolic pressure of premature infants in quiet period (136.02±11.22) beats/min, (65.35±9.56) mmHg were significantly lower than those in daily period (144.10±9.18) beats/min, (73.47±12.92) mmHg, and the difference was statistically significant (t value was 3.533, 2.008, P<0.01 or 0.05).@*Conclusions@#Children with NICU are generally in high noise and strong light environment, these factors will cause adverse physiological reactions to a certain extent.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES@#Sleep disorders directly affect health-related quality of life, so it is of great significance to investigate the risk factors of sleep disorders and to actively intervene. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns and associated factors and sleep disorders among the health screening populations in Changsha.@*METHODS@#A cross-sectional study was carried out in 86 073 subjects aged 18-70 years old who underwent the health screening. The association between dietary patterns and sleep disorders was analyzed. The associated factors for sleep disorders were identified via by principal component analysis and classification tree model.@*RESULTS@#The overall prevalence of reporting sleep disorders was 18.64%. Four major dietary patterns (healthy, snacks, whole-grain, and fried food patterns) were identified. In logistic regression, snacks and fried food patterns had higher risk of sleep disorders. The whole-grain pattern was a protective factor for sleep disorders. Nine associated factors including age, susceptibility to anxiety, snacking parterns, feelings of depression, chronic pain, physical activity, educational level, gender, and weight, and 9 groups at high risk for sleep disorders were identified by classification tree model.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Sleep disorders are prevalent in the health screening population of Changsha. There is a close association between snacks dietary patterns and sleep disorders. It is necessary to promote healthy and reasonable diet, and keep good lifestyle for the prevention and control of sleep disorders. Health management after physical examination should take different health interventions for high-risk groups with different characteristics of sleep disorders.

Light, sound, touch and other environmental factors in NICU were detected quantitatively, basic vital signs, activity, stress hormones and other changes were recorded, and the impact of environmental factors on the children was analyzed.Results:Touch times in daily and quiet periods were (5.02±0.54) times/h and (4.56±0.55) times/h, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The same time as the next two days, the activity of premature infants in quiet period was (8.26±3.10), which was lower than that in daily period (17.52±5.78), and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.967, P<0.01). The sleep time of premature infants during quiet period (23.24±8.38) was significantly higher than that of daily period (4.80 ±5.39), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was-11.679, P<0.01). The levels of cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine in premature infants were (61.53±13.47), (15.91±3.94), (49.22±15.15) μg/L in quiet period, which were significantly lower than those in daily period (74.52±20.98), (23.40±11.66), (80.32±32.43) μg/L ( t value was 3.295, 3.848, 5.502, P<0.01). The heart rate and systolic pressure of premature infants in quiet period (130.44±8.06) beats/min, (64.05±10.40) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) were significantly lower than those in daily period (145.21±10.52) beats/min, (72.85±13.36) mmHg, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 3.340, 2.166, P<0.01 or 0.05). Different time periods on the same day, the activity of premature infants in quiet period was (9.87±3.31), which was lower than that in daily period (19.82±5.57), and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 9.761, P<0.01). The sleep time of premature infants during quiet period (25.75±9.07) was significantly higher than that of daily period (4.70±3.89), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was-13.457, P<0.01). The levels of cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine in premature infants were (59.42±11.95), (15.78±1.45), (50.90±14.73) μg/L in quiet period, which were significantly lower than those in daily period (71.50±20.56), (25.62±11.95), (79.87±29.91) μg/L ( t value was 3.212, 5.169, 3.585, P<0.01). The heart rate and systolic pressure of premature infants in quiet period (136.02±11.22) beats/min, (65.35±9.56) mmHg were significantly lower than those in daily period (144.10±9.18) beats/min, (73.47±12.92) mmHg, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 3.533, 2.008, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions:Children with NICU are generally in high noise and strong light environment, these factors will cause adverse physiological reactions to a certain extent.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the application effect of disease-oriented digitalized teaching model in the undergraduate teaching of stomatology.Methods:A total of 34 undergraduate students in clinical medicine from Batch 2018 were selected as the control group 1, 24 undergraduate students in stomatology from Batch 2015 were selected as the control group 2, and 23 undergraduate students in stomatology from Batch 2018 were collected as the experimental group. The two control groups all accepted the traditional teaching mode, and the experimental group accepted the disease-oriented digitalized teaching model. Finally, the teaching effect was evaluated through questionnaire surveys and less difficult oral professional tests. The SPSS 24.0 was used to conduct t test. Results:After accepting this teaching model, students improved their understanding of the concept of "organism" and "disease" ( P<0.05), and they had a positive evaluation of this teaching model. It was found that the tests scores of the experimental group (42.17±1.21) were significantly higher than those of non-dental major students of the same Batch (24.71±1.42) ( P<0.05), with significant differences, while without significant difference between the tests scores of the senior stemmatological students (43.33±1.30) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:This teaching model enables students to establish the concept of "organism" and form a disease-oriented knowledge framework before entering the decentralized professional courses, which may further stimulates the interest of junior students in their majors, and enhances their professional awareness compared with traditional teaching model. It's also a useful exploration for teaching hospitals to conduct teaching activities of junior undergraduates outside the classroom.
