The digital transformation of education requires new approaches in practice-oriented disciplines like management. To solve the lack of personalized and self-directed learning in existing courses, this conceptual and design-oriented study developed a digital textbook for virtual operations simulation. Guided by embodied learning theory and Kolb's experiential learning model (Kolb, 1984), the textbook adopts a four-stage approach: "Theoretical Preloading - Sandbox Simulation - Reflective Review - Competency Transfer." It integrates a custom virtual simulation and an AIpowered guidance system, such as knowledge bubbles and a virtual teaching assistant, to support "learning by doing, reflecting, and applying." This study explains the textbook's design, architecture, and implementation. It also conceptually discusses its potential role in moving management training from standardized knowledge-sharing to personalized competency development, and proposes future research directions to provide a reference for developing similar digital textbooks. It should be noted that the textbook has not yet been formally implemented in teaching, with empirical verification of its educational effectiveness reserved for future research.
BACKGROUND:The burden attributable to body mass index (BMI) remains a major public health concern in China and imposes substantial socio-economic costs. METHODS:Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023 and economic projections were integrated to estimate and project the burden among Chinese adults aged 20-64 years. A multi-method approach was utilised, including burden estimation, joinpoint regression for trend analysis, demographic decomposition, age-period-cohort (APC) modelling, and Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) modelling for future projections. This study introduced and applied the B-PALY framework, which integrates the BAPC model with productivity-adjusted life years (PALYs), to systematically predict the productivity impact and macroeconomic burden associated with high BMI-related diseases. RESULTS:In 2023, high BMI-related diseases caused 118 511 deaths and 9.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), accounting for approximately 20% of all deaths and 25% of all DALYs among China's working-age population. From 1990 to 2023, the burden showed significant upward trends. Demographic decomposition identified population aging and growth as primary drivers, partially offset by epidemiological changes. APC analysis revealed an increasing disease burden with age and elevated DALY risks in recent birth cohorts. Projections indicated a substantial rise in the burden of diseases attributable to high BMI, in terms of absolute deaths and DALYs, through 2050. The B-PALY framework estimated that, in 2023 alone, these diseases imposed a macroeconomic burden of approximately 129.77 billion Intl$ (about 0.03% of China's 2023 GDP). Projected cumulative losses from 2023 to 2029 amount to Intl $1.14 trillion. CONCLUSION:High BMI-related diseases caused a substantial health and macroeconomic burden in China's working-age population, with rising trends projected to continue.
Management of thyroid nodules with atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) cytology is challenging because of uncertain malignancy risk. Intraoperative frozen section pathology provides real-time diagnosis for AUS/FLUS nodules undergoing surgery, but its accuracy is limited. This study aimed to develop an integrated predictive model combining clinical, ultrasound and IOFS features to improve intraoperative malignancy risk assessment. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with AUS/FLUS cytology and negative BRAFV600E mutation who underwent thyroid surgery. The cohort was randomly divided into training and validation sets. Clinical, ultrasound, and pathological features were extracted for analysis. Three models were developed: an IOFS model with IOFS results as sole predictor, a clinical model integrating clinical and ultrasound features, and an integrated model combining all features. Model performance was evaluated using comprehensive metrics in both sets. The superior model was visualized as a nomogram. Among 531 included patients, the integrated model demonstrated superior diagnostic ability, predictive performance, calibration, and clinical utility compared to other models. It exhibited AUC values of 0.92 in the training set and 0.95 in the validation set. The nomogram provides a practical tool for estimating malignancy probability intraoperatively. This study developed an innovative integrated predictive model for intraoperative malignancy risk assessment of AUS/FLUS nodules. By combining clinical, ultrasound, and IOFS features, the model enhances IOFS diagnostic sensitivity, providing a reliable decision-support tool for optimizing surgical strategies.
AIMS:This study aims to analyze the burden, trends, and health inequality associated with early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) caused by high Body-Mass Index (BMI) and to projected to 2050. METHODS:This study used data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease. Analysis of the average annual percentage change (AAPC) was conducted using Joinpoint regression. Slope index and concentration index were used to assess health inequality. Bayesian age-period-cohort models predicted the burden from 2022 to 2050. RESULTS:In 2021, the ASMR and ASDR were 0.61 (95% UI: 0.35 to 0.79) and 153.88 (95% UI: 83.85 to 222.19) per 100,000, respectively. From 1990 to 2021, the AAPC of ASMR and ASDR were 1.06 (95% CI: 1.00 to 1.13) and 2.79 (95% CI: 2.75 to 2.82), respectively. High SDI countries had smaller burdens, and the inequality trend worsened. It is expected that the global burden will continue to rise in the future. CONCLUSION:The burden is constantly rising and is expected to continue increasing in the future. The burden shows differences based on age, gender, and SDI. Therefore, targeted interventions should be developed for specific populations.
China has entered an aging society, and the mental health of the aged has gradually attracted social attention. This study aimed to model the mediating effect of social activities on the relationship between incapacitation and depression in the aged and to explore the moderating effect of community support on the mediating role. This paper used the latest data from The Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). A moderated mediation effect model was constructed with the degree of incapacity as the independent variable, depressive symptoms as the dependent variable, socialization as the mediator, and community support as the moderator. Socialization was a partial mediating variable in the relationship between incapacitation and depression in the aged, and its mediating effect accounted for 13.29
To assess whether the comprehensive reforms in 2017 (Reform 1) and 2019 (Reform 2) in Beijing have achieved the anticipated targets by analyzing the changes in curative care expenditure (CCE) and related indicators before and after the reforms. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, data are not comparable for the period after 2019, we obtained records of patients from the Hospital Information System (HIS) between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. The multistage stratified cluster random sampling was used to obtain sample data, and the System of Health Accounts 2011 was applied to account for the CCE of all hospitals in Beijing. We used an interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) to compare the changes in levels and trends before and after the reforms. Overall, the reforms failed to impact the rising trend in CCE, but successfully lowered the level of drug and consumable prices in all hospitals and optimized the hospital revenue structure. The reforms’ impact on patient burden was also mixed. For Reform 1, outpatient costs rose in tertiary hospitals, fell for inpatients in tertiary and secondary hospitals, and exhibited no change in all other hospitals. In terms of the trend, Reform 1 saw a fall in patient burden except for a rise inpatients in tertiary and primary hospitals. For Reform 2, the level of total expenditures per outpatient visit fell in primary hospitals, rose per inpatient bed day in secondary hospitals and had no change in all other hospitals. The impact of reforms on Beijing’s hierarchical medical system (HMS) was not significant. The reform outcomes were only partially in line with the reforms’ aims. While echoing the call for more resources for primary hospitals, only major patient medical service pricing changes would shift patients away from tertiary and secondary hospitals towards primary hospitals. We suggest that several measures be taken to enhance the service capacity of primary hospitals and that an advertising campaign be launched to inform and encourage patients to use primary hospitals as gatekeepers.
BackgroundBreast conserving surgery (BCS) is a standard treatment for breast cancer. Intraoperative frozen section analysis (FSA) is widely used for margin assessment in BCS. In addition, FSA-assisted excisional biopsy is still commonly practiced in many developing countries. The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model applicable to BCS with FSA-assisted excisional biopsy and margin assessment, with a focus on predicting the risk of secondary margin positivity in re-excision procedures following positive initial margins. This may reduce surgical complications and healthcare costs associated with multiple re-excisions and FSAs for recurrent positive margins.MethodsPatients were selected, divided into training and testing sets, and their data were collected. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) was used to identify significant variables from the training set for model building. Model performance was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and Decision Curve Analyses (DCAs). An optimal threshold identified by the Youden index was validated using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).ResultsThe study included 348 patients (256 in the training set, 92 in the testing set). No significant statistical differences were found between the sets. LASSO identified six variables to construct the model and corresponding nomogram. The model showed good discrimination (mean area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.79 in the training set and 0.83 in the testing set), calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test results (p-values 0.214 in the training set, 0.167 in testing set)) and clinical utility. The optimal threshold was set at 97 points in the nomogram, yielding a sensitivity of 0.66 (0.54-0.77), specificity of 0.80 (0.74-0.85), PPV of 0.56 (0.47-0.64) and NPV of 0.86 (0.82-0. 90) for the training set, and a sensitivity of 0.65 (0.46-0.84), specificity of 0.88 (0.79-0.95), PPV of 0.68 (0.53-0.85) and NPV of 0.87 (0.81-0.93) for the testing set, demonstrating the model’s effectiveness in both sets.ConclusionsThis study successfully developed a novel predictive model for secondary margin positivity applicable to BCS with FSA-assisted excisional biopsy and margin assessment. It demonstrates good discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility.
The effectiveness of mammography in women with dense breasts is compromised by a high rate of false-negative results. While supplemental ultrasound increases sensitivity, its low positive predictive value (PPV) leads to more unnecessary biopsies. This study aims to develop a nomogram model to predict the malignancy of breast masses that are additionally identified as suspicious by supplemental ultrasound after an initial negative screening mammography. The goal is to improve the PPV of supplemental ultrasound and potentially reduce unnecessary biopsies. In this study, eligible data were collected retrospectively and then randomized into training and validation sets. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator was used to identify the most important predictive variables in the training set. The maximum Youden index determined the optimal model threshold, and model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, decision curve analyses, and metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and negative predictive value. The study included 425 breast masses, 345 benign and 80 malignant. These were divided into 298 for the training set and 127 for the validation set. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator identified the 5 most important predictive variables for the construction of the model. The model showed strong discrimination with area under the curve values of 0.91 (0.87-0.95) for the training set and 0.88 (0.81-0.96) for the validation set. Hosmer-Lemeshow tests indicated a good model fit, with P-values of 0.78 and 0.12 for the training and validation sets, respectively. In addition, decision curve analyses highlighted the clinical utility of the model. The model also showed commendable diagnostic performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and negative predictive value. The nomogram model significantly increased the PPV of supplemental ultrasound from 0.18 to 0.56 in the training set and from 0.21 to 0.56 in the validation set. This study successfully developed a nomogram model to predict the malignancy of suspicious breast masses additionally identified by supplemental ultrasound. The model shows robust performance and significantly improves the PPV of supplemental ultrasound, suggesting a promising way to reduce unnecessary biopsies in such cases.
