nan you — 2026-02-20

As the latest achievement of Marxism's Sinicization and contemporary adaptation, the theory of Chinese-style modernization provides abundant teaching materials and value-guiding core for ideological and political education in higher education institutions. Telling the story of Chinese-style modernization effectively serves as a crucial measure to fulfill the fundamental task of moral education, enhance course appeal and engagement, and cultivate the sense of mission among young people in the new era. However, current ideological and political courses face practical challenges in content selection, fragmented teaching methods, insufficient technological empowerment, and weak collaborative mechanisms. This paper, combining the teaching principles of ideological and political courses with contemporary requirements, constructs a systematic teaching pathway from four dimensions: content optimization, method innovation, technological empowerment, and collaborative education. It provides practical guidance for higher education institutions to deliver high-quality narratives of Chinese-style modernization and guide young students to strengthen their confidence in the path and theory.

Xiaowen Zhao — 2026-02-20

Aiming at the problems existing in current college English writing assessment, such as ambiguous dimensions, delayed feedback, inaccurate competence positioning, and excessive subjectivity, this study constructs a digital-intelligent empowered dynamic assessment model for college English writing based on the China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE), integrating the requirements of CSE and the trend of digital-intelligent education reform. The model fuses digital-intelligent technologies including Natural Language Processing (NLP) and big data analysis, with CSE's writing proficiency grading standards as the core, to achieve quantitative assessment dimensions, dynamic assessment processes, personalized feedback, and precise interventions. A one-year teaching experiment was conducted in the experimental class, comparing writing scores, competence improvement rates, and learning satisfaction between the experimental group and the control group to verify the model's effectiveness and practicality. The results show that the model can significantly improve students' core literacy in English writing, optimize teachers' assessment efficiency, standardize assessment standards, and provide theoretical support and practical paths for the reform of college English writing teaching and digital-intelligent assessment practice in institutions of higher education.

Molecular Mechanism of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 Regulating CTGF in Helicobacter pylori-Induced Gastric Epithelial Cell Injury

Lu Jiang — 2026-02-20

Objective: To investigate the role of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and its regulation of CTGF in Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric epithelial injury.. Methods: GES-1 cells were infected with H. pylori (MOIs 50–200). Cell viability, proliferation, and migration were assessed alongside the expression of NR2F2-AS1, CTGF, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8). The regulatory link was verified using stable NR2F2-AS1 overexpression. Results: H. pylori infection significantly upregulated NR2F2-AS1 and CTGF, leading to dose-dependent decreases in cell viability, suppressed proliferation, and impaired migration (p < 0.01). NR2F2-AS1 overexpression further boosted CTGF levels and exacerbated inflammatory responses. FISH localized NR2F2-AS1 primarily to the cytoplasm, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation. Conclusion: NR2F2-AS1 promotes H. pylori-induced injury by positively regulating CTGF. This axis represents a potential therapeutic target for mitigating gastric mucosal damage.

The Anatomical Basis and Clinical Progress of Pericapsular Nerve Block Technique for Hip Joint

junchu he — 2026-02-20

Objective: To systematically review the anatomical basis, clinical application effects, and research progress of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block technique, providing reference for clinical analgesia plan selection. Methods: Relevant literature at home and abroad was searched, summarizing the anatomical characteristics and technical innovations of PENG block, comparing the limitations of traditional block techniques, analyzing its clinical analgesic effects, preservation of motor function, and safety, summarizing current controversies and looking forward to future directions. Results: PENG block is based on the multi-source nerve distribution (femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and accessory obturator nerve supply) and the separation characteristics of sensory-motor nerve pathways at the anterior capsule of the hip joint. Through ultrasound-guided targeted injection (with the puncture needle inclined at 30-45° to the midpoint of the line connecting the anterior inferior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle), sensory-motor separation block can be achieved. Clinical studies show that PENG block can reduce dynamic visual analog pain scores (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) in patients with hip fractures (from 7.8 to 3.2), reduce morphine consumption by 45% in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (Total Hip Arthroplasty, THA) within 12 hours postoperatively, and achieve a quadriceps muscle strength retention rate of 92% at 6 hours post-THA, with a major complication rate of only 1.4%. Current controversies focus on differences in access methods (direct vision vs. ultrasound guidance) and drug parameters (optimizing local anesthetic concentration at 18-20mL), with long-term safety data still needing to be supplemented. Conclusion: PENG block has achieved precision in hip joint analgesia, highly aligning with the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, ERAS), and is a high-quality alternative to traditional block techniques. Future improvements in clinical value should be made through artificial intelligence-assisted positioning and multimodal analgesia integration.

Tetramethylpyrazine Alleviates Trigeminal Neuralgia by Inhibiting HIF-1α-Mediated Neuroinflammation and Oxidative Stress

Shizi Wang — 2026-02-20

Objective This study investigates whether TMP alleviates TN by modulating HIF-1α-mediated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress pathways, as predicted by network pharmacology analyses identifying HIF-1α as a potential TMP target. Methods A rat model of CCI-ION was used. Post-surgery, rats were randomly assigned to receive TMP at 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg or CBZ at 50 mg/kg. Mechanical pain thresholds were assessed behaviorally. In the trigeminal ganglion, expression levels of HIF-1α, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α), and antioxidant enzymes (MnSOD, CAT) were quantified by qPCR and Western blot. Microglial activation, myelin integrity, and oxidative stress (MDA content) were evaluated by IBA-1 immunohistochemistry, Luxol Fast Blue staining, and standard biochemical assays, respectively. Result TMP at 80 mg/kg significantly alleviated mechanical hyperalgesia, with efficacy comparable to CBZ. It suppressed HIF-1α expression and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α), enhanced antioxidant capacity by upregulating MnSOD and CAT and decreasing MDA, and inhibited microglial activation and demyelination. Conclusion TMP likely alleviates trigeminal neuralgia by inhibiting HIF-1α, leading to coordinated downregulation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. These results provide experimental evidence for TMP's multi-target analgesic mechanism and identify HIF-1α as a potential target for treating neuropathic pain.

Effect of Midwife-Led Family-Accompanied Delivery Room Care on the Delivery Mode of Primiparas

Shangzhuan Huang — 2026-02-20

Objective: To investigate the effect of midwife-led, family-accompanied delivery room care on delivery mode, labor duration, and pain intensity in primiparas. Methods: A total of 180 primiparas scheduled for vaginal delivery were enrolled and divided into an accompaniment group (n=86) and a routine care group (n=94) based on preference. The routine group received standard delivery care. The accompaniment group received midwife-led, one-to-one care in a dedicated, home-like delivery room with a family member present throughout labor and delivery. Delivery mode, durations of the first, second, and third stages of labor, pain intensity (assessed by Visual Analogue Scale, VAS), and adverse pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: The vaginal delivery rate in the accompaniment group (96.51%) was significantly higher than that in the routine group (76.60%, P<0.05). The durations of the first and second stages of labor were significantly shorter in the accompaniment group (8.28±0.75 h; 52.07±16.83 min) compared to the routine group (10.86±1.04 h; 63.73±22.96 min, both P<0.05). The VAS pain score during delivery was significantly lower in the accompaniment group (7.14±0.53) than in the routine group (8.22±0.72, P<0.05). The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the accompaniment group (5.81%) was significantly lower than that in the routine group (15.96%, P<0.05). Conclusion:For primiparas, implementing midwife-led, family-accompanied delivery room care can effectively increase the rate of vaginal delivery, shorten the duration of the first and second stages of labor, alleviate pain during delivery, and improve pregnancy outcomes.

The Historical Origin And Current Condition of Camel Milk in Inner Mongolia

Yutong Wang — 2026-02-20

China has a long history of raising camels and drinking camel’s milk. The available literature shows that camel’s milk was spread among different social classes as late as the Yuan Dynasty, and was included in the “Eight Treasures of Mongolia” by the Mongolian Khan, which was regarded as a precious health medicine or used to make wine. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, court nobles, everyday people and border guards still kept the habit of drinking camel’s milk as an important supplement to their food.To this day, this traditional production method and living customs have been passed down in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. Among them, Alashan League,Inner Mongolia, which is known as the “Hometown of Camel in China”, has preserved the custom of drinking camel’s milk and the traditional technique of making camel’s milk food most completely, and the related camel’s milk industry has been vigorously developed and has become an important pillar of the region’s economic industry.

lixia liu — 2026-02-20

Addressing the imperative to deeply integrate "cultivating virtue and nurturing talent" into higher education, this study investigates a teaching reform model for the Educational Psychology course. The reform is designed to overcome common pitfalls of superficial Ideological and Political Education (IPE) integration by utilizing the perspective of psychological education as its foundational conduit. Grounded in theories of Self-Determination and constructivist learning, the model proposes a synergistic integration where psychological education principles create the supportive conditions for the internalization of professional values and ethics. The implementation involves a four-pillar strategy: restructuring course content into thematic, value-integrated modules; adopting experiential and dialogic teaching methods; embedding praxis-oriented practical components; and instituting a multi-modal, process-oriented assessment system. A multi-dimensional evaluation of the reform’s effectiveness, based on classroom observations, student reflections, and process assessments, indicates significant positive outcomes. These include a marked transformation in student engagement towards active, critical participation, enhanced psychological literacy and self-regulatory capacity, the construction of a values-informed professional identity, and improved competence in translating theory into ethically sound practice. The study concludes that psychological education provides a powerful and necessary framework for achieving authentic, student-centered IPE integration within professional curricula.

Research on Effective Ways to Promote the Dissemination of Chinese Culture among Pakistani Students Studying in Chinese Universities

Yan Wang — 2026-02-20

This study aims to systematically explore how to construct and implement an effective path for the dissemination of Chinese culture within Chinese universities, particularly targeting the specific group of Pakistani international students. Despite the increasingly close strategic cooperation between China and Pakistan, there are still some practical issues in deep humanistic exchanges, especially in the dissemination of culture to Pakistani students in China, such as one-way communication mode, insufficient adaptation of content to the audience, and lack of effect evaluation. This study adopts a problem-oriented methodology to construct research, aiming to bridge the gap between macro-level cultural initiatives and micro-level educational practices. By comprehensively utilizing literature analysis, cross-cultural communication theory, and educational practice observation, this study proposes a comprehensive path framework centered on "mutual adaptation" and "systemic embedding." This framework emphasizes that effective cultural dissemination must shift from isolated, symbolic activities to an interactive cultural practice ecosystem deeply embedded in the entire academic and life processes of universities. This study constructs a systematic path comprising four pillars: "academic curriculum cultural immersion," "integration into campus life experience," "digital platform interactive co-creation," and "peer network interpersonal support," and elaborates on the specific implementation strategies, potential challenges, and coordination mechanisms for each path. The conclusion of this paper is that only through this systematic, interactive, and sustainable methodological innovation can cultural dissemination be internalized into the positive cognition and emotional identification of Pakistani students, thereby truly serving the strategic goal of "humanistic connectivity" between China and Pakistan and laying a solid social and humanistic foundation for inter-generational friendship between the two countries.

An Analysis of India’s “Strategic Autonomy” through the Lens of Triangular Relationship Theory

Tu zhiming — 2026-02-20

Based on Dittmer's triangular theory, India's "strategic autonomy" is essentially a process of seeking balance within multiple, overlapping triangular interactions, yet it gets into a systemic dilemma under the structural pressures of these triangular relationships. Specifically, in the China-Pakistan-India triangle, the close links between China and Pakistan create structural constraints on India, forcing it to devote strategic resources to coping while reinforcing its dependence on external actors to reverse unfavorable situations. In the China-U.S.-India triangle, India's approach of "aligning with the U.S. to contain China" leads to strategic vacillation due to the limited security cooperation and political trust offered by the U.S., coupled with India's emphasis on "strategic autonomy." In the China-Russia-India triangle, the coexistence of Russia-India cooperation and China-Russia strategic collaboration forms a complex games within multiple agendas. Russia’s strategic "turning to the East" and the deepening China-Russia collaboration weaken India’s utility in leveraging Russia to balance China. These triangles are not isolated but interconnected. India’s "alignment with the U.S. against China" triggers Russia’s distrust toward India, while its excessive reactions to China-Pakistan dynamics strengthen its strategic dependence on the U.S. and Russia. Furthermore, the interplay between India’s insufficient intrinsic capabilities and external systemic pressures traps it in the paradox of "strategic autonomy": the more it seeks balance, the deeper its dependence becomes.
