Article Synopsis
- Empathy is crucial in healthcare, especially with mental illnesses, and this study explored using virtual reality (VR) to enhance empathy in medical students.
- Medical students were divided into intervention and control groups, where the intervention group experienced a VR simulation of a day in the life of a depressed student, while the control group had a general medical student experience.
- Results showed that the intervention group significantly improved in perspective-taking and compassionate care, while their ability to stand in the patient's shoes decreased, indicating a shift in understanding mental health.
Background: Many studies have shown that interstitial Cajal-like cell (ICLC) abnormalities are closely related to a variety of dynamic gastrointestinal disorders. ICLCs are pacemaker cells for gastrointestinal movement and are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Aim: To elucidate the expression profile and significance of cholecystokinin-A (CCK-A) receptors in ICLCs in the common bile duct (CBD), as well as the role of CCK in regulating CBD motility through CCK-A receptors on CBD ICLCs.

Due to the unique features of Asians, 4 L PEG might be a suboptimal bowel preparation in predominantly ethnically Asian countries. In view of this, a balance should be achieved between the volume and effectiveness.
