The Curriculum Design Coherence Model (CDC Model) was created as a universal curriculum design method to connect disciplinary knowledge to teachers' expertise in a bid to promote professional teaching and learning. However, research into how the CDC Model has been adopted and localized in the Chinese educational context is scarce. This article focuses on the application and impact of the CDC Model on the resulting teaching practices in China's Early Childhood Education (ECE) settings. The data collected through a focus group discussion with 21 teachers from a model kindergarten at the municipal level in China reveals that the CDC Model has increased the teachers' professionalism by promoting their curriculum initiative, forging curriculum knowledge orientation, strengthening the conceptual structure within the kindergarten-developed curriculum, and enhancing the coordination between the curricula of the different courses offered by the kindergarten. This positive influence has also helped the teachers bridge their disagreement on curriculum content and pedagogy and overcome some difficulties in using the CDC Model. The study has implications for revitalizing the value of disciplinary knowledge and for viewing ECE teachers as active professional agents in ECE curriculum design and teaching.

Teacher Becoming Curriculum Designer: Professional Teaching and Learning in China's Early Childhood Education.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the deposition of lipoproteins and sequent immune responses. Within the atherosclerotic plaque, macrophages are the most abundant immune cells and play a great part as protagonists and promoters of AS. In the past decade, the concept of 'trained immunity' has emerged, which highlights the memory characteristics of innate immunity, thus opening up a new avenue of research. Evidence suggests that trained immunity may regulate the onset and progression of AS with trained macrophages playing an important and dynamic role in atherogenesis. The present review provided a summary of concepts related to trained immunity and its relationship with AS. Furthermore, different phenotypes of macrophages responding to various stimuli within the atherosclerotic plaque were presented, along with the complex mechanisms of metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in the cells. Finally, several promising therapeutic approaches for AS cardiovascular disease were discussed, which may shed light on new clinical strategies.

From metabolic to epigenetic: Insight into trained macrophages in atherosclerosis (Review).

Probiotics, a class of live microorganisms, play an important role in anti-inflammation, regulating immunity and optimizing intestinal microecological environment. In this study, we constructed a combination of three strains - Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus bulgaricus, and Bacillus subtilis - to ferment triple probiotics Bornlisy. Our findings indicate that Bornlisy has a significant therapeutic effect in alleviating colitis in mice, further proofing its ability to suppress inflammation in colon, enhance intestinal barrier function and restore imbalanced intestinal microbiome. Then we found Bornlisy could modulate immune response by inhibiting macrophage glycolysis and ultimately attenuated the progression of colitis in mice. Our investigation into the therapeutic efficacy of Bornlisy in colitis revealed that triple probiotics offer a promising approach for the management of intestinal inflammation.
