Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) following surgery so as to advise clinicians to pay more attention to and prevent postoperative APE. Method Thirty-one APE patients following surgery treated in the recent 8 years were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results (1) Post-operative APE patients accounted for 21.9% of all APR patients during that period. The mortality of patients after surgical operation was 3.2%. (2) APE following surgery often occurred in patients after operations of spine, abdomen, gynecological surgery and point replacement as well as in patients with malignant tumor. The APE following surgery often occurred in the first week after surgery. The APE after surgery for malignant tumor occurred sooner. (3) Among many clinical manifestations, dyspnea (90.3%) was the commonest one. Other manifestations included chest pain, palpitation and syncope. The typical triad of dyspnea, hemoptysis and cheat pain was rarely seen. (4) The venous thrombolysis was a absolute contra-indication for massive PE after surgery. Catheter embolectomy and fragmentation, and surgical embolectomy were the alternative treatment. Conclusions Surgery is the essential risk factor of APE. When patients present dyspnea, chest pain or syncope, clinicians should pay attention to APE. Anticoagulation and embolectomy can improve the prognosais of the patients.

Taking a national continuing education program with hand in hand mode as an example, the advantages and disadvantages of hand in hand mode and traditional mode are com-pared. Hand in hand mode realizes a door-to-door teaching, and the curriculum is more targeted. Moreover, the time and physical power of trainees are saved, so the training effect is better. The na-tional continuing medical education program withhand in hand is worthy of promotion in the teach-ing practice.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an important part of standardized residency training. There are certain flaws in the various commonly used training and assessment mode. In the exploration of the new mode, "step-by-step" training helps to learn skills step by step. "Low intensity and high frequency" training not only focuses on key points and difficulties, and lightens the burden of the teachers and residents, but also can improve the training effect through repeated reinforcement. Combining different training methods organically to establish a "diversified" training mode can make full use of the advantages of different methods and make up for each other's shortcomings. In addition, the "veto power" should be introduced into the assessment. Scenario simulation with role play may be an effective way to train teamwork ability, but it still needs further exploration.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypoxia/reoxygenation on endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods: Neonatal rat cardiac myocytes in primary culture were exposed to hypoxia for 5.5 hours and subsequently reoxygenation for 2-24 hours. Western blot and RT- PCR were applied to monitor the expression change of GRP78(glucose regulated protein 78). 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG) was the positive control of this study. Then Western blot and RT- PCR were used to examine the expression of GRP78. Results: Cell viability was decreased obviously after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Compared with untreated cells, the GRP78 content of the cells had increased significantly in the hypoxia/reoxygenation cells. The level of GRP78 protein and mRNA elevated from the points of 2 hours to 24 hours after reoxygenation, and increased most obviously at the point of 4 hours after reoxygenation.(4 hours: protein level 142% of the control, mRNA level 200%). 2-DG could induce the increasing expression of GRP78 in a concentration-dependent manner from 10-50 mmol/L. Conclusion: Hypoxia/reperfusion can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat cardiomyocytes.
