The graphene prepared by chemical vapor deposition onto copper foils was transferred onto a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) soft substrate by the aid of poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA).The soft G/AuNPs/GOD composite electrode based on PET substrate was fabricated using a protocol in which the uniform distribution of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) was firstly obtained by controlling the evaporation of gold sol on a graphene surface, then thioglycolic acid (TGA) was modified on the AuNPs through Au-S bond, and finally glucose oxidase (GOD) was immobilized on the surface of AuNPs through acylation reaction between TGA and the GOD.Glucose was detected in the linear range from 0.05 to 10.55 mmol/L with a linear correlation coefficient (r) of 0.9955.The detection was performed in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7) at 25℃ with a working potential of 0.6 V (vs.SCE electrode), and the detection limit was 1 μmol/L (3σ).The G/AuNPs/GOD flexible electrode based on PET substrate provided a new pathway to detect glucose in special environments using wearable equipment, which enlarged the applied field of glucose detection.

Objectives:This study aims to provide a full picture of how Health Policy and Systems Research ( HPSR) in Chinese universities. Based on the current situation, analysis of problems and challenges of the HPSR capacity has been conducted and suggestions on personnel training have been proposed. Methods: Quantitative sur-veys and qualitative interviews have been conducted among personnel engaged in HPSR from 8 representative univer-sities. Results:Most HPSR researchers in the universities are young, of which 75. 26% have doctorates and the ma-jority is trained in health care management and public health sciences. Among the current HPSR projects, health in-formation and evidence is the main research direction in this field, and both the capital investment and attention of re-searchers are high. However, research resources and funding are still currently focused on senior researchers, with limited efforts to support young scholars. HPSR has interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary characteristics, but cur-rently the collaboration among institutions and individuals is relatively limited. In addition, only 5. 81% of undertak-en HPSR projects have been translated into health policy. Discussion and Suggestions:HPSR researchers in Chinese universities are not sufficient and have similar backgrounds, resulting in limited collaboration. Investment in HPSR projects is still shallow and young researchers are vulnerable in acquiring funding resources. The ability to translate research results into policy is weak. Therefore, this paper suggests to mainstream undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, enhance the training, funding and technical support for young researchers, and to establish the mechanism of dissemination of research findings and their translation into policy.

Objective To determine if activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in ropivacaine-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cell line SHSY5Y.Methods SH-SY5Y cell line was purchased from cell center of Shanghai life Science Research Institute,Chinese Academy of Sciences and cultured in DMEM/F12 liquid culture medium containing 15 % bovine calf serum at 37 ℃ in incubator filled with 5% CO2 . Plasmids pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA AMPKα2 and pEGFP-N1-AMPKα2were transfected into the SH-SY5Y cell line. The expression of AMPKα2 was determined by Western blot analysis.The SH-SY5Y cells transfected with recombinant plasmids were exposed to 3 mol/L ropivacaine. Intracellular ROS was detected by flow cytometry. Cell viability was quantitatively determined by MTT colorimetry assay. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and Hoechst33258 staining. Results The plasmid pEGFP-N1-AMPKα2 upregulated while pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA AMPKα2 down-regulated the expression of AMPKα2 ( P < 0.01). Down-regulation of AMPKα2 expression attenuated while up-regulation of. AMPKα2 expression promoted intracellular ROS production and cell apoptosis induced by ropivacaine ( P < 0.01) . Conclusion AMPK probably mediates ROS production and cell apoptosis induced by ropivacaine.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of an early inflammatory response factor, Rho kinase activity for left ventricle remodeling (LVR) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 120 acute STEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2010-10 to 2013-06 were studied, all patients were ifrst time received primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. Rho kinase activity and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured before PCI, echocardiography was conducted at 24 hours and 12 months after STEMI respectively to clarify LVR diagnosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups as LVR group, n=97 and Non-LVR group, n=23, the above indexes were compared between 2 groups.
Results: The level of Rho kinase was higher in LVR group than that in Non-LVR group, P<0.001, after adjustment, Rho kinase was the independent predictor for LVR (OR 3.36, 95%CI 2.01–5.78, P<0.001). The ROC of Rho kinase was 0.88 (95%CI 0.82–0.94) and the ROC of BNP was 0.54 (95%CI 0.41–0.70).
Conclusion: High Rho kinase activity could predict LVR in acute STEMI patients with primary PCI and stent implantation.

Objective To evaluate previous gastroscopy before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the risks and benefits of concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) after PCI in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome (non-ACS).Methods The data of 673 non-ACS patients who underwent PCI with stenting were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into concomitant use of PPIs group and non-PPIs group,then subdivided into high-,moderate-and low-risk groups according to risk factors associated with adverse upper gastrointestinal (GI) events.The incidences of adverse cardiovascular events and adverse upper GI events were compared among groups.Findings of previous gastroscopy were also included.Results Only 82 patients (12.2%) underwent gastroscopy within 5 years before PCI,of whom,27 (32.9%) were diagnosed as having peptic ulcer,and 55.6% (15/27) of whom were in concomitant use of PPIs.Compared with the non-PPIs group,the rate of adverse cardiovascular events in the concomitant use of PPIs group was significantly higher (22.6% vs.8.9%,P <0.01),and the highest rate (41.7%) was in the high-risk group.However,the corresponding rate of adverse upper GI events was the lowest (4.2%).In the moderate-risk group,90.5 % (344/380) of patients were older than 65 years with concomitant use of NSAIDs.The rate of gastroscopy within 5 years before PCI in these patients was remarkably lower than that in patients who had the history of upper GI disease with concomitant use of NSAIDs (concomitant use of PPIs group 14.1% vs.54.5% ; non-PPIs group 7.5% vs.28.0% ; P < 0.01).In the concomitant use of PPIs group,the rate of adverse cardiovascular events in the former was notably higher than that in the latter (20.5% vs.9.1%,P <0.01),but the rate of adverse upper GI events within 1 year after PCI were similar (9.0% vs.9.1%).Conclusion Previous gastroscopy before PCI could provide the baseline information of upper GI disease,which may be helpful for the evaluation of concomitant use of PPIs after PCI so as to decrease the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.Special attention should be paid to those patients older than 65 years in the moderate-risk group and concomitant use of NSAIDs.

Binzhou Medical University began to launch an experimental class of the clinical medical science in 2012 aimed at the undergraduates only.In this class,the ‘centered on the subject’ teaching mode was transformed into the ‘ organ-systems based curriculum’ or ‘ OSBC’ for short.Under the OSBC,the morphology combined the following three subjects:anatomy,hyphology and pathematology into an organic unity.This new subject pays more attention to the relationship among the morphology' s characters,the functional situation and the change of the pathogenesis.A variety of forms such as combining theories with experiments,the case-oriented teaching,translocation type teaching and bilingual teaching are used.To evaluate the students' performance more comprehensively,and to judge the teaching quality more objectively,the formative and summative assessments are used together.The morphology under this new mode is still on its exploration stage.Though with the shortage of corresponding teaching materials and the qualified teachers,it bears fruit and is feasible.
