This study aims to explore the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) and prescription-based preoperative talk (PPT) teaching methods in the teaching of tumors in cerebellopontine angle (CPA) of clinical neurosurgery residents.One hundred-thirty neurosurgery residents working in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from September 2021 to June 2024 were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group adopted the combination of PBL and PPT, referred to as PPP. In contrast, the control group simply learned the material on their own. The effectiveness of the teaching methods was then assessed using theory test scores and customized questionnaires. Compared with the control group, the test scores of the experimental group were significantly improved (P = 0.005). In addition, the test score of the experimental group was still higher than that of the control group 1 month after the course (P = 0.033). The satisfaction questionnaire of PPP teaching method showed that the experimental group had higher satisfaction in 6 aspects of stimulating an interest, enhancing students' self-learning abilities, mastery of basic and anatomical knowledge, analytical and problem-solving skills, help for clinical thinking, and doctor-patient communication skills. In the teaching of cerebellopontine angle tumors, the PPP teaching method can provide a unique experiential learning opportunity for neurosurgery residents, improve theoretical test scores, and promote self-evaluation and satisfaction. In addition, this method can enhance neurosurgical residents' understanding of tumor diseases in the CPA region. Therefore, it helps to improve the overall teaching effectiveness.

Background: Canola essential oil (CEO) contains linoleic and oleic fatty acids that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic micro-organisms and alter microbial digestion to increase ruminal fermentation and nutrient utilisation.
Objectives: The study evaluated the effect of supplementing a basal goat diet with incremental doses of CEO on chemical constituents and in vitro ruminal fermentation parameters and microbial diversity.
Methods: Experimental treatments were a basal goat diet containing 0.

Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.
Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Clinical management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) poses significant challenges due to its poor prognosis and heterogeneous nature. Discovering new biomarkers is crucial for improving risk assessment and customizing treatment approaches. While leukocyte-specific transcript 1 (LST1) is implicated in inflammation and immune regulation, its function in AML remains ambiguous.

Kindling is an experimental-induced seizure consistent with epilepsy disease, a chronic neurological disorder characterised by spontaneous and repeated seizures. This disease is associated with oxidative stress, and most therapeutic strategies against epilepsy aim at improving the antioxidant defence mechanism in the brain. However, prolonged usage and associated adverse side effects limit antiepileptics, warranting natural antioxidant patronage.

Soda saline-alkali soils pose significant challenges to agricultural productivity due to high pH and excessive sodium content. This study investigated the removal of excess salts in soda saline-alkali soil through electrochemical treatment (ECT). Traditional ECT often led to uneven soil pH distribution, with acidic conditions near the anode and alkaline conditions near the cathode, which limited its effectiveness for soil improvement.
