Article Abstract

This narrative review assesses the effectiveness of hand gesture analogy teaching in clinical medical education, addressing the growing demand for innovative pedagogical strategies. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, it evaluates the theoretical foundations, implementation strategies, and practical applications of this method across various domains of medical education. Hand gesture analogy teaching significantly enhances student learning by improving engagement, spatial reasoning, and procedural knowledge retention more effectively than conventional instructional methods. The integration of modern educational technologies and standardized implementation frameworks further amplifies its effectiveness. Despite challenges in standardization and faculty development, this method shows promising potential for transforming medical education by bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice. Evidence-based recommendations are provided for incorporating hand gesture analogy teaching into clinical training programs, supporting its adoption as an innovative pedagogical tool in contemporary medical education.

Self-Propelled Magnetic Micromotor-Functionalized DNA Tile System for Autonomous Capture of Circulating Tumor Cells in Clinical Diagnostics.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Emergency and Trauma of Ministry of Education, The First Affiliated Hospital, NHC Key Laboratory of Tropical Disease Control, School of Tropical Medicine & The Second Affiliated Hospital, Hainan Medical University, Haikou, 571199, China.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry intact tumor molecular information, making them invaluable for personalized cancer monitoring. However, conventional capture methods, relying on passive diffusion, suffer from low efficiency due to insufficient collision frequency, severely limiting clinical utility. Herein, a magnetic micromotor-functionalized DNA-array hunter (MMDA hunter) is developed by integrating enzyme-propelled micromotors, magnetic nanoparticles, and nucleic acid aptamers into distinct functional partitions of a DNA tile self-assembly structure.

Dissecting the Molecular Determinants of α-synuclein Phase Separation and Condensate Aging: The Pivotal Role of β-Sheet-Rich Motifs.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

September 2025

Department of Physics, State Key Laboratory of Surface Physics, and Key Laboratory for Computational Physical Science (Ministry of Education), Fudan University, 2005 Songhu Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, 200433, China.

Emerging evidence indicates that liquid-liquid phase separation of α-synuclein occurs during the nucleation step of its aggregation, a pivotal step in the onset of Parkinson's disease. Elucidating the molecular determinants governing this process is essential for understanding the pathological mechanisms of diseases and developing therapeutic strategies that target early-stage aggregation. While previous studies have identified residues critical for α-synuclein amyloid formation, the key residues and molecular drivers of its phase separation remain largely unexplored.

Background: Poor hand dexterity may increase the risk of functional disability; however, few studies have examined the relationship between hand dexterity and incident functional disability. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the dose-response association of hand dexterity with incident functional disability in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: This study included 1,069 older adults aged ≥65 years in Kasama City, Japan.
