Randomized trial on the impact of card Game-Based teaching on learning and memory retention of neurological syndromes.

Background: Learning about neurological syndromes is an essential component of medical education, but traditional teaching methods often lack interactivity and practical engagement. This study investigates the impact of an innovative teaching approach using the Neurological Syndrome Card Game (NSCG) on students' learning outcomes.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was implemented, with participants divided into an experimental group and a control group.

The impact of negative cognitive bias on NSSI: mediating non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.

Background: Individuals may be more likely to engage in NSSI due to negative cognitive bias, while the use of negative emotional regulation mechanisms may further contribute to NSSI. Currently, there is a dearth of studies regarding the correlation among the three variables.

Method: The study employed convenience sampling to collect data via online platforms from a total of 572 college students in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China, over the period of January 2024 to February 2024.

Prenatal diagnosis of 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development with SRY-positive: A case report and review of the literature.

We report a case of a fetus with 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development detected prenatally. This fetus was found abnormally due to non-invasive prenatal testing. Amniocentesis revealed SRY gene on the X chromosome of the fetus.

The association between academic stress, social support, and self-regulatory fatigue among nursing students: a cross-sectional study based on a structural equation modelling approach.

Background: Emphasizes the state of academic stress, social support, and self-regulatory fatigue on the physical and mental development of Chinese nursing students, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between these variables and the mediating role of social support in academic stress and self-regulatory fatigue among a group of undergraduate nursing students in Heilongjiang Province, China, in order to provide a theoretical basis for working to reduce nursing students' self-regulatory fatigue.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1703 nursing students from various academic years completed the scales of social support, academic stress, and self-regulatory fatigue. In the end, there were 797 valid questionnaires, for a recovery rate of 46.

Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in assessing the subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and accompany asymptomatic deterioration of the myocardial function. This study aims to identify the subclinical impact of GDM on maternal left ventricular function by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE).

Methods: We prospectively recruited 47 women with GDM and 62 healthy pregnant women who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy.

Aloin suppresses lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting NLRP3/NF-κB via activation of SIRT1 in mice.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the protective effects and potential mechanisms of aloin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI).

Methods: Mice were pretreatment with aloin 1 h before LPS administration. The number of inflammatory cells and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β was detected.

Calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway via the regulation of IL-10 secretion in mice.

Calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (CG) is the component of Astragali Radix, and the aim of the present study is to investigate whether CG protects myocardium from I/R-induced damage by the regulation of IL-10/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. H9C2 cells were subjected to I/R treatment and pretreated with 1 μm CG in vitro. In addition, a mouse model of myocardial I/R injury was induced by left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery ligation and administrated with 30 mg/kg CG by intravenous injection before I/R surgery.

The Value of Elasticity Contrast Index in the Differential Diagnosis of Thyroid Solid Nodules.

Objectives: To assess the clinical value of elasticity contrast index (ECI) in differentiating malignant thyroid nodules from benign ones.

Methods: Conventional ultrasound and elastography with pulsation of the carotid artery used as the compression source were retrospectively reviewed on 175 patients (143 females and 32 males; mean ± SD age, 45.17 ± 11.

Assessing Risk Category of Breast Cancer by Ultrasound Imaging Characteristics.

The purpose of our study was to assess the potential clinical value of ultrasound imaging in predicting risk category in patients with breast cancer. Three hundred thirty-six patients were enrolled and divided into a high-risk group (99, 29.5%) and mid- to low-risk group (237, 70.
