Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of the tissue strain imaging in myocardial dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Sixty-two patients and sixty controls underwent conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography. Peak strain and strain rate value during systolic and diastolic phases as well as E/A, left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were measured in both SLE and the control groups. Results ①E/A,LVFS and LVEF did not differ between SLE patients and controls( P ＞0.05). The systolic peak strain and strain rate of SLE patients were lower than those of controls but without significant differences( P ＞0.05). ②The diastolic peak strain and strain rate of SLE patients were significantly lower than those of controls (P ＜0.01). ③ The diastolic peak strain and strain rate of antiheart antibody (AHA) positive patients were significantly lower than those of negative ones( P ＜0.05). Conclusions Strain and strain rate combining with AHA can sensitively detect myocardial dysfunction of SLE.

Building a professional clinical research team inside hospitals is in favor improving their research abilities,accelerating the clinical discipline construction,improving their comprehensive influence.Also it fits the objective of general hospital development under gate-keeping system.Now in domestic,the percentage of professional research staff in large hospitals accounts was much less than the international level.The main reasons included the misunderstanding of constructing the research-oriented hospitals,insufficient human resources enrollment,less attractive environment to the highlevel researchers and the absence of relevant degree training programs.To enhance the construction of research-oriented hospitals,it's of key importance to build the professional research team in hospitals.Besides,the hospital has to update management conception,broaden the channels of talent cultivation,grasp the development of the subject accurately and interact with the basic medicine and public health subject,increase the financial investment and perfect the relevant management regulations.
