With the continually expanding enrollments in colleges and universities,the vulnerable groups among college students have also greatly increased,which must be addressed,stressed and focused by colleges and universities.This paper analyzes two major ethical social situations of this special group.Some countermeasures are also put forward in order to maintain stability in colleges and universities and strengthen the ethical and moral education for vulnerable groups among college students.

Objective To investigate the effect of time from myocardial infarction (MI) onset to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) level and left ventricle (LV) remodeling in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction of anterior wall,and the relationship between MMPs and left ventricular remodeling.Methods All patients with anterior wall STEMI undergoing PCI were divided into early PCI group (PCI within 18 h after MI onset) and delayed PCI group (PCI between 2 and 3 weeks after MI onset).Plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were assayed on admission,and at 2 days,1 week after admission.One-year follow-up was finished after PCI.Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography at baseline and one year later to elucidate the effects of time from onset to PCI on LV remodeling and the relationship between MMP-2,-9 levels and LV remodeling.Results The MMP -9 activity at 2 days after myocardial infarction was lower in early PCI group than in delayed PCI group [(46±26)μg/L vs.(66±40) μg/L,P=0.000].The changes in LVEDV and LVESV (△LVEDV and △LVESV) were lower and the change in LVEF (△LVEF) was higher in early PCI group than in delayed PCI group [(10.9±6.2) ml vs.(15.0±6.0)ml,(-1.1±5.7) ml vs.(2.9±4.6) ml,(5.5 ±4.0) % vs.(3.8±3.4) %,P=0.000,0.000 and 0.015].MMP-9 had positive correlations with △LVEDV and △LVESV,and a negative correlation with △LVEF at admission and after 1-year follow-up (r=0.32,0.36 and-0.29,respectively,P=0.000,0.000 and 0.001).Conclusions MMP-9 activity at admission is correlated with LV remodeling and LV function.Early PCI can reduce MMP-9 activity and improve LV remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Objective This study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcomes and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the single-opened vessel lesion among patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Methods Twenty-seven patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction≤35%) undergoing PCI were included. All the patients received PCI only to the single-opened vessel lesion under the conditions of: (1) There were limitations to open chronic total occlusion (CTO);(2) Single-opened vessel lesion was not calcified and tortuous. Clinical outcomes, including success rate of PCI, changes of symptoms in-hospital, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) pre-and one week post-PCI, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE, including death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization) at 30-days after discharged were observed. Results The success rate of PCI was obtained in all 27 patients(100%), and all the patients received drug eluting stent implantation. The symptoms improvement occurred in all patients and the NYHA class improved from grade Ⅳto grade Ⅲin 22 patients(81.5%) in-hospital. Significant differences were noted in the mean BNP and LVEF between pre-PCI and one week post-PCI, BNP[(2699.6±1104.7) pg/ml vs. (737.0 ± 261.7) pg/ml, P<0.05],LVEF[(26.9±5.7)%vs. (36.0±3.41)%, P<0.05)]. No MACE happened in-hospital and at 30-days follow up. Conclusions PCI only to the single-opened vessel lesion among patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction under the condition of limitations to open CTO is safe and can significantly improve clinical outcomes in-hospital and at 30-days follow up, but it must be emphasized that single-opened vessel lesion not with obvious calcification and tortuosity.

Objective:
To learn the epidemiological characteristics of fall mortality among the elderly people in Taizhou,and to provide basis for intervention strategies of fall in the elderly.
Methods:
Data of fall mortality among residents aged 60 years or over in Taizhou from 2016 to 2018,collected from Zhejiang Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System,was used for analysis of time,population and geographical characteristics of fall deaths. The epidemic trend of fall mortality in the elderly was described by annual percentage change(APC).
Results:
From 2016 to 2018,3 699 cases of fall death in Taizhou were reported,the crude and standardized mortality were 116.90/100 000 and 97.88/100 000. The standardized mortality of fall in women was 106.11/100 000,which was higher than 90.13/100 000 in men(P<0.05). The standardized mortality of fall in rural residents was 131.20/100 000,which was higher than 28.15/100 000 in urban residents(P<0.05). The mortality of fall in residents aged 65-69 years from 2016 to 2018 showed an upward trend(APC=4.20%,P<0.05),while the mortality trend of fall in other age groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).
Conclusion
Fall was the first cause of injury death in the elderly aged 60 years or over in Taizhou. Females and rural residents have relatively higher fall mortality.

Objective:The electroencephalogram(EEG)signals were collected for analysis to define the differences in dy-namic functional connectivity of the brain network of related nodes in the primary motor area(M1)and pre-motor area(PMA)during motor imagination and motor execution.The relationship between muscle synergy and isolated movement was also explored. Method:Ten stroke patients with right hemiplegia and nineteen healthy adults participated in this study.All participants performed motor imagination(MI)and motor execution(ME)tasks according to visual instruc-tions.We recorded and analyzed the EEG signals at 12 sites located in Ml and PMA areas.The chosen EEG signals were filtered and analyzed based on the modified S-transform(MST).All data were normalized to avoid individual differences.Then we analyzed the data with Pearson correlation to identify the dynamic func-tional connectivity(FC)and the differences with Fisher's exact test for node degrees. Result:All the distribution trend of correlation degree of chosen node about left or right MI and ME of stroke patients was similar to that of healthy participants.Compared with the motion execution,the function connection strength and density of each node were elevated at MI,which was also consistent with healthy par-ticipants.When healthy adults underwent left hand MI,the degree of the C4 node in the Ml area was signifi-cantly higher than that of C3 on the opposite side(P<0.05),while at right hand MI,the sum of the node de-grees of FC3 and FC1 in the left PMA area was significantly higher than that of the lateral symmetric chan-nel FC4 and FC2(P<0.05).When the right upper limb isolated movement was performed,the node degree of C3 decreased significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion:The major region of function connectivity of the right hand MI was in the left PMA area,and the node degree at MI was higher than ME.The functional connectivity of each node at the left hand MI was dispersed.The main channels activated by the muscle synergy are different from the isolated movement.
