Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of long guidewire exchange technique in performing cerebral angiography via radial artery approach.Methods The clinical data of 257 patients,who received cerebral angiography during the period from June 2014 to May 2016 at Daxing Hospital of Capital Medical University,Beijing,China,were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 257 patients,186 had type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.According to the different looping technologies for Simmons-2 catheter used in the performance of cerebral angiography,these 186 patients were divided into the study group (n=90) and the routine group (n=96).The success rate of radial artery puncturing,the success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation,the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,the time spent for angiography,the radiation exposure time,complications,etc.were recorded.Results The success rate of radial artery puncturing was 100% in both groups.The success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation in the study group was 97.8%,which was significantly higher than 72.9% in the routine group (P<0.05).The success rates of catheterization for the left subclavian artery,left common carotid artery and right carotid artery in the study group were 97.8%,97.8% and 97.8% respectively,which were remarkably higher than 72.9%,72.9% and 72.9% respectively in the routine group (P<0.05).No statistically significant difference in the success rates of catheterization for right subclavian artery and for right vertebral artery existed between the two groups (P> 0.05).The time spent for angiography in the study group and the routine group was (22.5±9.4) min and (28.3±8.3) min respectively.The radiation exposure time in the study group was (8.9±4.5) min,which was obviously lower than (12.6±6.5) min in the routine group (P=0.017 and P=0.035,respectively).The incidences of complications in the study group and the routine group were 4.4% and 5.2% respectively,the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).No severe complications,such as intracranial arterial embolie events,puncture bleeding,arterial occlusion,etc.,occurred in all patients of both groups.Conclusion The use of long guidewire exchange technology can improve the success rate of Simmon-2 catheter looping formation and the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,it can also shorten the time for angiography procedure and reduce the radiation exposure time.This technique is very effective with higher safety.Therefore,this long guidewire exchange technique should be used as a common method for cerebral angiopraphy via radial artery approach in patients with type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.

Objective To study classroom teaching quality evaluation standards from two perspectives of teachers and students,and comparatively study difference of evaluation standards for teachers and students.Methods Questionnaire survey method is adopted.Classroom teaching quality evaluation entry questionnaire is distributed to 320 teachers and 560 students.SPSS 18.0 software is utilized for statistical analysis on the collected data.Expert consultation method is applied to determine membership degree on the analysis results.Finally,14 experts and 20 students are invited to sequence the importance of each dimension obtained after membership determination.Expert evaluation method is used for calculating the weight of each dimension thereof.Results Generally,the results show that all the teaching quality evaluation standards which have been selected by teachers and students can be assorted into 5 dimensionalities,namely teaching content,teaching method,teaching norm,teaching organization and students' learning condition.Particularly,teachers maintain that 23 indicators can be chosen to assess the classroom teaching quality while students think that 24 items are qualified for evaluating the room teaching quality,and they reach a consensus in 13 items.Besides,there is a big difference in their weight of the 5 dimensionalities.Conclusions By comparing and analyzing the choices and opinions about the classroom teaching quality evaluation standard between teachers and students,we learn that the two relative groups' assessments and comments are far different mainly attributing to their different evaluation perspectives on classroom teaching quality.Therefore,we advise different evaluation indicator systems should be adopted respectively for evaluation subjects in classroom teaching quality evaluation.

Objective To investigate the expression of connexin CX43 using hybridization techniques after GABA restraining receptor gene was transferred into the supramammillary of hypothalamus in Kainic acid(KA) induced epileptic rats.Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control group(n=2),surgery group(n=2),KA group(n=10) and GABA restraining receptor gene transferred group(GABA group)(n=10).No treatment was given to the control group.Physiological saline(1 ?L) was injected into right amygdala of rat in surgery group.In KA group,KA(1 ?L,1 ?g) was injected into the amygdala of rat to build epileptic model.In GABA group,the GABA restraining receptor gene(400 nL,40 ng) was transferred into the supramammillary of hypothalamus by HVJ-liposome 48 h before KA was injected into amygdala.The expressions of CX43 mRNA and morphological changes different time(3 h,6 h,24 h,3d,7d) were observed by in situ hybridization in each group.Results In control group and surgery group,the morphological manifestations were normal,and the hippocampus structures were complete.In KA group,swell and degenerative hippocampus neurons were showed and deteriorated with time.In GABA group,the degeneration and necroses of hippocampus neurons were relatively alleviated.The positive expression of CX43 mRNA was few in control group and surgery group.And in KA group it increased with time.In GABA group,the positive expression of CX43 mRNA was fewer than that of KA group at every period.Conclusion The expression of CX43 mRNA in hippocampus can be decreased by transferring GABA receptor gene into hypothalamus.
