Purpose To explore the correlation between fetal cardiac function and interventricular septal thickness in fetuses of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mothers. Materials and Methods Thirty-nine GDM mothers were involved in the study and divided into group MH (fetuses of GDM mothers with interventricular septal hypertrophy) and group NMH (fetuses of GDM mothers with normal interventricular septal thickness). Ultrasonic cardiogram was performed for both groups to assess such variables as interventricular septum thickness at end diastole (IVSd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS), right ventricular fraction shortening (RVFS), the ratio of E and A of mitral flow (E/AMV), the ratio of E and A of tricuspid flow (E/ATV), peak velocity of aortic valve (VPAO), peak velocity of pulmonary valve (VPPA) and myocardial performance index (MPI). The results were further compared with those of control group. Results The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF and LVFS in group NMH were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The VPAO, VPPA, LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in control group whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS and RVFS in group MH were significantly higher than those in group NMH whilst the E/AMV and E/ATV significantly lower (P<0.05). MPI in group MH was significantly higher than that in group NMH (P<0.05), whilst both were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The LVEF, LVFS, RVFS, VPAO and VPPA were positively correlated with IVSd (r=0.48, 0.51, 0.45, 0.30, 0.30;P<0.05). Conclusion Cardiac function in fetuses of GDM mothers may be associated with interventricular septal thickness.

Objective To analyze the level of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in children with left-to-right shunt congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods In this study, 146 children with secundum atrial septal (ASD) defect, 132 children with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and 300 healthy children were recruited. The levels of cTnI and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were measured and their correlation with clinical data was analyzed. Results The serum cTnI and NT-proBNP levels in both ASD and VSD patients were signiifcantly higher than those in normal children (H=3.89 and 5.27, P<0.01). The serum cTnI and NT-proBNP levels in VSD patients were signiifcantly higher than those in ASD patients (P<0.05). The ratio of pulmonary to systemic arterial pressure (Pp/Ps), pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) and standardized left ventricular end diastolic volume in VSD patients were signiifcantly higher than those in ASD patients (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that Pp/Ps was signiifcantly correlated with cTnI in VSD patients. (β=0.81, SE=0.03, P=0.000). Conclusions Signiifcant volume and pressure overload due to a left-to-right shunt induce myocardial injury and could lead to irreversible myocardial remodeling in children with CHD. The serum cTnI level is a sensitive biomarker for myocardial damage in VSD patients.

The purpose of education is to cultivate talents who can master the ability of self-learning lifelong. With the rapid development of multimedia technology, the knowledge carrier represented by micro curriculum plays a very important role in improving students' self-learning ability. In traditional Chinese medicine college, due to the short of time, weak learning foundation, the ability of self-learning is hard to improve in the modern medical courses such as biochemistry. This is not conducive to the cultivation of modern talents of Chinese medicine. In this paper, we chose the biochemistry teaching in TCM college as an example, and discuss how we can make the application of micro courses reasonably in the teaching process. This study was regarded as a starting to improve the students' self-learning ability effectively.
