Objective To explore the effect of experimental design in the experimental teaching of fundamental nursing. Methods 168 and 199 baccalaureate nursing students were in the control and experimental group respectively, the control group received traditional experimental teaching method, and the experimental group must complete the experimental design before entering the lab. The teaching effect between the two groups were compared. Results The mean operation score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group, the proportion of those students who reflected their teaching method could enhance creative ability, problem-solving ability and practical ability was higher in the experimental group, 100% teachers reflected experimental design could improve operation level, strengthen theoretical knowledge, animate teaching atmosphere. Conclusions Experimental design could arouse students' enthusiasm and initiative to study, advocate them to think and ask.

Objective To observe the efficacy of local gene transfection in CD154 extracellular domain on the survival of renal allografts. Methods The kidneys of Brown Norway (BN) rats were transfected with CD154 extracellular domain gene recombined adenovirus. The transfected kidneys were transplanted to Lewis rats (transfection group). BN→Lewis kidney transplantation with non transplanted kidneys served as the controls. The allograft survival time and the allograft function between the two groups were compared. Results The allograft survival time of the transfection group was longer than that of the controls significantly [(28?7.3)d vs (8.6?1.2) d, P

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of trimetazidine on cardiac function and exercise tolerance in primary hypertension patients with type 2 diabetic. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled prospective study, 60 primary hypertensive patients with diabetic were equally assigned into two groups, patients received trimetazidine (20 mg, 3 times a day) or placebo for 1 year. Echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing were performed; and the plasma N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP), hr-CRP, TNF-α, angiotensin Ⅱ and endothelin concentration were determined before and after treatment. RESULTS: In trimetazidine group, the left ventricular mass index, the mitral flow velocity E wave to A wave ratio (E/A), the peak early diastolic velocity (V) to late diastolic velocity (V) ratio (V/V) and the peak systolic velocity (Vs) were significantly improved, the plasma NT-ProBNP level was significantly decreased, and the exercise time, metabolic equivalent, maximal oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold were significantly increased (all <0.05); plasma concentration of hr-CRP, TNF-α, angiotensin Ⅱ and endothelin were significantly reduced after trimetazidine treatment, compared with baseline (all <0.05) and with placebo (all <0.05). There were no significant differences in any of above parameters after treatment in placebo group (all >0.05). No severe adverse reaction was observed in both groups. CONCLUSIONS For patients with both hypertension and diabetes, trimetazidine can improve cardiac function and increase exercise tolerance.
