Objective To improve the classroom environment and students' learning effect and in-novation of classroom teaching mode. Method We took stomatology students of Grade 2012 (control group, 60 people) and Grade 2013 (experimental group, 69 people) as research subjects, and in the control group, the traditional teaching method was used, while the experimental group was based on the mixed mode of the flipped classroom. By comparison of the result of questionnaire survey and final examination between the experimental group and control group, we made clear the difference between blended classroom teaching and traditional classroom teaching. SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis and the data was made t test and rank sum test, and the result was showed by rate and (x±s). Result The classroom performance of the control group was (14.78±4.27), and the experimental result was (14.49±4.49), in the experimental group, the internal and external performance of the experimental group was (22.19±7.21), the experimental result was (7.12±1.33). By comparison of the result of examination between the experimental group (49.01±7.28) and control group (46.32 ±7.44), medical immunology test scores were significantly different (P<0.05), and the experimental group was better than the control group. It showed that the mixed teaching model had more advantages in improving the academic performance. The results of questionnaire survey showed that flipped classroom teaching was better than traditional classroom teaching in ability training which included self learning ability (68.18%, 45 people), analysis and problem solving skills (68.18%, 45 people), team work and communication skills (56.06%, 37 people), ability of retain knowledge (46.97%, 31 people), however students who liked and accepted this new teaching model only accounted for about 30.00%. Conclusion Inte-gration of flipped classroom mode with traditional mode will enhance the students' learning efficiency and achievements, as well as promote students' ability.

Objective To investigate the effect of video-based teaching in the training of nursing operation for newly-contracted nurses. Methods One hundred and twenty one nurses newly recruited in September 2011 to September 2012 were set as the control group, another 128 in October 2012 to October 2013 were set as the experiment group. The former were trained and assessed with traditional training method and the latter were trained for 1 year in video-based teaching methodology. After training, both groups were examined about their operation skills and meanwhile a survey on video-based teaching was conducted. Result After training, the results in operating skills evaluation in the experiment group were significantly better those of the control group (Z=2.82, P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional training method, the video-based teaching can raise the level of nursing operation skills and significantly improve the quality of nursing, thus worthy of popularization and application.

Objective: To explore the application value and safety of low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiogram (LDDSE) in patients of low-flow/low-gradient aortic stenosis combining left ventricular dysfunction with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods: A total of 5 eligible consecutive patients with contradiction of routine surgical valve replacement and going to receive TAVR in our hospital from 2013-10 to 2016-07 were enrolled. The mean aortic valvegradient, maximum flow velocity, each stroke volume and ejection fraction were recorded before and during LDDSE examination. The patients having confirmed diagnosis of true severe aortic stenosis with left ventricular contractile reserve received TAVR, for those without left ventricular contractile reserve received drug therapy or TAVR conditionally. The changes of cardiac function and NT-proBNP level were observed after TAVR. Results: All 5 patients showed positive finding in LDDSE; the mean aortic valve gradient ≥40mmHg and stroke volume≥20% implied that the patients had true severe aortic stenosis with left ventricular contractile reserve. No adverse reaction occurred during and after LDDSE. TAVR was performed in 4 patients and 1 was waiting for TAVR or balloon dilatation since temporary lacking of valve. The post-operative cardiac function was improved in all patients and NT-proBNP level was declined continuously. Conclusion: LDDSE examination could be considered in patients of aortic stenosis combining left ventricular dysfunction, low-flow and low-gradient to clarify ventricular contractile reserve and the severity of aortic stenosis. If the patients with ventricular contractile reserve, TAVR was recommended which was the effective treatment for relevant patients.

AIM: To study the time-dependent effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the development of cardiac remodeling in untreated streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rats with acute myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: The left anterior descending coronary arteries were ligated 10 weeks after DM induction without any therapy. Transmission electron microscopy, echocardiography, heart weight to tibial length ratios, histological examination, microarray analysis, and real time-PCR were utilized to monitor the changes up to 56 d. RESULTS: After MI, the diabetic rats experienced lower survival rate compared to non-diabetic animals. The pathophysiologic changes indicated that DM accelerated the cardiac remodeling post-infarction. In primary examination, 164 genes related to cardiac remodeling were found to be candidates for hierarchical analysis, such as leucine-rich PPR-motif containing (interleukin-6 signaling pathway), procollagen type I and III, fibronectin-1, RT1, and TIMP-1, etc. The gene expression profile at 14 d in diabetic rats were comparably similar to both 14 d and 28 d in non-diabetic rats, while such changes at 28 d and 56 d in diabetic rats was also similar to the ones at 56 d in non-diabetic rats. CONCLUSION: The accelerated cardiac remodeling of post-infarction in STZ-induced untreated diabetic rats seems be associated with the different profile of gene expressions.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of overlapping sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) for long lesions during primary percutanous coronary intervention(PCl) in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods Seven hundred and seventy-five elderly patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were enrolled and followed up. Patients with two or more SES implanted for long lesions during PCI were taken as long lesion group and patients with single stents implanted were regarded as control group. The safety endpoints were in-hospital and follow-up death and stem thrombosis, and the clinical endpoints were the incidence of restenosis and target vessel revascularization rate during in-hospital follow-up and 6 months" follow-up.Results Among 775 patients, 62 patients had 64 long lesions. The average number of stents was 2. 2, and the average lesion length and stent length implanted were (45.3±10. 4)mm and (52.2±11.0)mm, respectively. During the 6 months' follow-up, the incidence of angiographically documented stent thrombosis were 1.6% in long lesion group and 1.1% in control group, respectively. No death or myocardial infarction occurred in two groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of restenosis and target vessel revascularization rate between long-lesion group and control group (8. 1 vs. 4.8%, 6.9% vs. 3. 7%, both P>0.05). Conclusions Overlapping implantation of homemade SES is safe and effective for STEMI patients with long lesions in short-term period.

Objective To explore the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics and peripheral blood leukocyte count in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods A total of 33 patients with AMI hospitalized in Fuwai Hospital for primary percutaneous coronary intervention were consecutively enrolled,and underwent intracoronary OCT procedures after manual aspiration of coronary thrombus. Demographic data, risk factors, procedural and OCT data, past medical history and perioperative laboratory findings were collected in all patients. Results The lymphocyte count,monocyte count and basophil count were significantly higher in the patients with fibrous cap thickness ≥ 65 μm than in those patients with fibrous cap thickness ≤ 65 μm. Patients presenting with cholesterol crystallization had lower eosinophil count than those patients with crystallization-free [(0.04±0.06)×109/L vs.(0.10±0.09) ×109/L,P =0.028]. In addition,the former had significantly higher to neutrophil lymphocyte ratio than the latter [(8.35±6.13)vs.(4.97±2.01), P =0.020]. Higher monocyte count was found in the patients with calcified plaque (P <0.05). Platelet to lymphocyte ratio was significantly increased in the patients with macrophage infiltration [(165.72±85.93)vs.(113.47±19.13),P <0.05]. The leukocyte count,neutrophil count and monocyte count showed the treat of elevation as the number of OCT characteristics increased,but only the elevation of monocyte count had statistical significant level (P = 0.014). Conclusions Peripheral blood leukocyte count seems to be associated with OCT characteristics of plaque rupture in patients with acute myocardial infarction,suggesting the potential role of inflammation in plaque rupture.

Objective Ticagrelor-related dyspnea may affect the medication adherence of patients with coronary artery disease.This study aims to assess the impact of ticagrelor adherence on 1-year cardiovascular outcomes in pateints with stable coronary artery diseases (SCAD).Methods This study includes the patients with SCAD from Fuwai hospital who discharged with ticagrelor between Jan.2015 to Jun.2015.We collected data of clinical characteristics and ticagrelor adherence from these patients by reviewing the electronic medical records and personnel interview.Follow-up was performed at 6 and 12 months by telephone interview or office visits.Results A total of 155 patients with SCAD were enrolled,of whom 122 (78.7％) were males with a mean age (57.0 ± 10.0) years.Among them,50 (32.3％) patients have a history of myocardial infraction and 106 (68.4％) patients had angiographic confirmed left main and/or multivessel disease.Forty-six patients (29.7％) with SCAD prematurely stopped ticagrelor within 12 months,while 25 (16.1％) patients switched from ticagrelor to clopidogrel.Hemorrhagic events and locally unavailable ticagrelor were the major reasons causes of the premature discontinuation of ticagrelor.Univariate analysis showed age,body mass index (BMI),hypertention and locally unavailable ticagrelor as relative factors for early ticagrelor discontinuation after discharge.Multivariate analysis revealed unavailable drug locally (OR 0.25,95％ CI 0.09-0.69) and elderly patients (OR 4.13,95％ CI 1.40-12.19) were risk factors for low persientence or premature ticagrelor discontinuation.Conclusion This study showed poor ticagrelor adherence in patients with SCAD after discharge.Locally unavailable ticagrelor and elderly patients were strong predictors of poor ticagrelor adherence.Discontinuation to ticagrelor prematurely may not have impact on adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Objective To explore the effect of prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and transtelephonic notification on door-to-balloon time in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods Four hundred and two patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI from January 2006 to December 2007 in Beijng Anzhen Hospital were analyzed. They were divided into 3 groups: 137 patients without prehospital ECG (group A), 176 patients with prehospital ECG (group B) and 89 patients with prehospital ECG and early transtelephonie notification (group C). Door-to-balloon time and in-hospital mortality were compared among the groups. Results There were no significant differences in age, sex, past medical history and infarcted area among three groups. Compared with group A, patients in group B and group C had much shorter door-to-balloon time (96 minutes and 86 minutes vs. 113 minntes in group A, all P<0. 01). No difference was found in in-hospital mortality among three groups (2. 9% vs. 2.3% vs. 2. 2%, P> 0. 05). Conclusions Prehospital ECG and early transtelephonic notification can significantly shorten door-to-balloon time in patients with STEMI. Coordinated system including prehospital ECG and transtelephonie notification is proved to be feasible and effective.
