1.Research in Course Construction and Teaching Reform of Medical Physical Experiment
Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2009;26(6):1570-1572
There are many problems in the present medical physics experiment teaching, such as, behindhand experiment content and experiment instrument, single teaching methods, the lack of experiment time and laboratory funding, unreasonable experimental test methods and experimental plan, the lack the opportunity to operate hands-on labs for students, student's enthusiasm and initiative is not high, and so on. In order to solve these problem, promote the course construction and teaching reform of medical physical experiment, we have carried on a series of reforms, for example, starting from the selection experiment content, improvement teaching methods and test methods, paid great attention to enhance experimental ability of students, improved experiment's quality, stimulated experimental enthusiasm of students. At the same time, combined with the actual situation of laboratory and students, we make some renewal and consummation to experimental textbooks, strengthen standardization management to the laboratory, such as collective preparation for lessons, attend lecture each other and tutorial system for young teacher cultivation, improve and perfect a variety of laboratory rules and regulations. These will causes the laboratory construction standard order.

This study examined the role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and cystatin C in ischemic stroke complicating atrial fibrillation (AF) and the relationship of systemic inflammation with this disease in order to identify AF patients who are at high risk of stroke and need optimal anticoagulant therapy. A total of 103 AF patients, simple (n=75) or complicated by ischemic stroke (n=28), and 112 control subjects were recruited. IL-6 level was detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Cystatin C and hsCRP levels were measured by means of a particle-enhanced immunonephelometric assay. The results showed that the AF patients had higher levels of hsCRP (P=0.004), IL-6 (P=0.000), and cystatin C (P=0.000) than control subjects. Plasma hsCRP level was increased in the AF patients with ischemic stroke as compared to the patients with simple AF (P=0.036). The AF patients who had the level of hsCRP exceeding 3.83 mg/L were at a higher risk than those with hsCRP level lower than 3.83 mg/L (P=0.030). After adjusting for other factors, cystatin C remained positively associated with IL-6 (r=0.613) and hsCRP (r=0.488). It was concluded that hsCRP is positively correlated with ischemic stroke complicating AF and may be a risk factor independent of other risk factors for AF. Elevated cystatin C level is also indicative of the increased risk of AF.
