Background: As online teaching gains prevalence in higher education, traditional face-to-face methods are encountering limitations in meeting the demands of medical ethics, the availability of experimental resources, and essential experimental conditions. Consequently, under the guidance of the BOPPPS (bridge-in, objective, preassessment, participatory learning, postassessment, summary) teaching model, the application of virtual simulation platform has become a new trend. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of BOPPPS combined with virtual simulation experimental teaching on students' scores and the evaluation of students' participation, performance and teachers' self-efficacy in preventive medicine experiment.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a new nomogram for predicting the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

Methods: A retrospective study enrolled 553 patients with AIS treated with IVT. The patients were randomly divided into two cohorts: the training set (70%, = 387) and the testing set (30%, = 166).

Article Synopsis
  • - Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered effective for drug delivery but face challenges with drug capacity and safety; this study introduces MSC membrane-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN@M) as a solution.
  • - The integration of MSC membranes onto mesoporous silica nanoparticles improved stealth and reduced clearance by the immune system, allowing for better targeting and drug retention in cancerous tissues.
  • - When tested in mice with tumors, MSN@M demonstrated significantly enhanced drug loading, sustained release of doxorubicin (DOX), and effectively inhibited tumor growth while minimizing side effects, suggesting it could be a promising alternative for antitumor therapies.

The regio- and enantioselective allylic substitution of branched alkyl-substituted allylic acetates employing malonates has been achieved through a process that calls for Krische's π-allyliridium ,-benzoate catalyst. The protocol reported herein can be applied to a diverse set of branched alkyl substrates that are generally not well tolerated in the other two types of Ir-catalyzed allylation.

The effects of phosphonates, the heavily-used antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems, on microalgae are controversial, although they are harmless to most aquatic organisms. Herein, we assessed the inhibitory effects of etidronic acid (HEDP) and diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP) on algal growth and revealed the mechanisms involved in both intrinsic toxicity and complexation. The phosphonates showed weak influences on Scenedesmus sp.

The disposal of reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate (ROC) is a critical challenge impeding the application of RO-based wastewater reclamation. Herein, we proposed an enhanced biotreatment approach for the simultaneous removal of nitrogen, phosphorous, hardness, and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) from ROC by suspended-solid phase cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. LX1.

Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a widely used non-oxidizing biocide for membrane biofouling control in reverse osmosis (RO) systems usually with high dosages. However, few investigations have focused on MIT removal through bio-processes, since it is highly bio-toxic. This study proposed a novel biotreatment approach for efficient MIT degradation by Scenedesmus sp.

Coordinated utilization of clear and reclaimed water in urban water supply systems has attracted wide attention from both academic and industrial communities. Although the potential and impacts of water reuse have been explored in previous studies, there is still a lack of model-based research that can optimize the utilization of clear and reclaimed water among multiple sectors and at multiple locations and the associated operations of multiple water treatment plants. In this study, an optimization model was developed for supporting the coordinated supply of clear and reclaimed water in urban water supply systems.

As 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT) has been widely used in high concentrations for microbial growth control in many domestic and industrial processes, its potential eco-risk should be assessed. This study investigated the interaction between BIT and microalgae in aquatic environment as the mechanism of BIT lethal effect on microalgae was unclear and whether microalgae could efficiently remove BIT was unknown. It was found that Chlorella vulgaris could be killed by high concentrations of BIT, and this lethal effect was strongly enhanced when exposed to light.

Neural stem cells (NSCs), capable of ischemia-homing, regeneration, and differentiation, exert strong therapeutic potentials in treating ischemic stroke, but the curative effect is limited in the harsh microenvironment of ischemic regions rich in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Gene transfection to make NSCs overexpress brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can enhance their therapeutic efficacy; however, viral vectors must be used because current nonviral vectors are unable to efficiently transfect NSCs. The first polymeric vector, ROS-responsive charge-reversal poly[(2-acryloyl)ethyl(p-boronic acid benzyl)diethylammonium bromide] (B-PDEA), is shown here, that mediates efficient gene transfection of NSCs and greatly enhances their therapeutics in ischemic stroke treatment.

Isothiazolinones, such as 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT), are widely used as biocides for bacterial growth control in many domestic and industrial processes. Despite their advantages as biocides, they are highly toxic and pose a potential risk to the environment. This study investigated the inhibition process and detoxification mechanism involved in microalgal survival and growth recovery after BIT poisoning.
