Objective To understand the status quo of our young doctors' doctor-patient communi-cation and related influencing factors. Methods Among the doctors under the age of 40 in various clinical departments, according to 30% proportion, we randomly selected 32 doctors, and combined with revised Liverpool communication skills assessment scale (LCSAS) and standardized patients (SP), the doctors' ability of doctor-patient communication was evaluated. Descriptive statistics, t test and variance analysis were per-formed by SPSS 21.0 lines. Results The average score of communication etiquette of young doctors was (2.00±0.15), and the average score of their communication skills was (1.74±0.29), and the average score of their communication technical ability was (3.74±0.39). The detection rate of communication etiquette, communication skills and communication skills evaluation (less than 2) was 33.3%, 81.5%, and 85.2%, respectively. Physicians and surgeons' scores in communication etiquette and communication skills dimen-sion had significant difference (P<0.05). Significant difference was found in different ages doctor communi-cation protocol (F=3.641, P=0.028), and 20 to 25 years old doctors' score in communication manners was significantly lower than other ages (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the scores of doctors of different title in communication etiquette (F=4.410, P=0.023), and the trainee doctors' communication etiquette score was significantly lower than the physician and surgeon (P<0.05). Conclusion The commu-nication skills of young doctors in our hospital are generally in the middle state, and their communication etiquette is good, communication skills are general. There are great individual differences. Hospital should begin from those whose communication ability are low, cultivate their biology-psychology-social medicine thinking mode of the doctor-patient relationship , help new employees complete the role transformation , emotion management, and professional commitment, and encourage patients to participate in the medical process, so as to improve the doctors' communication ability in all directions and at different levels.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the difference in bond strength between titanium alloy with different surface roughness and dentin. METHODS: Thirty titanium alloy cylindrical specimens were fabricated and randomized to 6 groups. All groups of specimens were rubbed separately with 60, 80,100,150, 240, and 320 grit silicon carbide (Si-C) sand paper. The surface roughness of each group was measured. The occlusal surfaces of 30 human molars freshly extracted within 1 month were flattened to expose an adequate area of lower dentin. The dentin bonding surface was produced using 320, 400, and 600 grit Si-C sand paper, respectively. Titanium alloy and dentin specimens were bonded with Ketac~(TM) Cem Easymix ionomers. All bonded specimens were stored for 24 hours at 37 ℃. The microtensile bond strength was measured through the use of universal testing machine. The fractured surface of titanium alloy was observed under scanning electron microscopy.RESULTS: The titanium alloy group rubbed with 80 grit Si-C sand paper yielded the strongest bond strength, 6.65 MPa, compared with other groups (P < 0.05). The surface roughness of titanium alloy in this group was (2.69±0.32) μm. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that all fractured surfaces appeared at the interface of dentin and ionomer cement. CONCLUSION: The surface roughness could influence the bond strength between titanium alloy and dentin. Titanium alloy with (2.69±0.32) μm surface roughness bonding to dentin showed the maximum bond strength.

OBJECTIVE: To survey the immediate bond strength of the two glass ionomer cements with different pressure times.METHODS: Totally 70 teeth were prepared to expose the dentin, and then divided into the Ketac~(TM)Cem Easymix GIC glass ionomer cement group (3M group), and the TOKUSO glass ionomer cement (TOKUSO group). Each group was divided into 7 subgroups according to pressure times. The immediate tensile strengths of all specimens were measured after pressed for 5,10,15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 minutes.RESULTS: The immediate bond strengths of the two glass ionomer cements with different pressure time showed obviously significant differences (P < 0.01), which exhibited the greatest immediate bond strengths at 25 minutes after pressure. The bond strength of 25 minutes subgroup of 3M was higher than that of TOKUSO group, but the difference had no significance.CONCLUSION: Both Ketac~(TM) Cem Easymix and the TOKUSO glass ionomer cement can harvest the maximum bond strength after 25 minutes pressure.

Objective:To evaluate the changes of the left atrial systolic function in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)using quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI).Methods:The systolic velocities of the middle of left atrial lateral wall,anterior wall,inferior wall and atrial septum were measured with QTV1 in 45 patients with AMI.The left atrial volume and active atrial emptying fraction(AA-EF)were measured using single-plane Simpson method.Results:(1)Compared with the control group(30 normal subjects),the diameter and volume of the left atrium,as well as AA-EF,increased obviously in patients with AMI(P ＜ 0.01).(2)Compared with the control group,the systolic velocities of the middle of left atrial lateral wall,anterior wall,inferior wall and atrial septum,as well as the average value,increased significantly in patients with AMI (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).In addition,the average value of left atrial systolic velocity was closely correlated with AA-EF(r=-0.906,tr=14.001,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion:QTVI could be used to evaluate the left atrial systolic function accurately in patients with AMI.

Objective To evaluate whether serum complement C3 concentration was associated with the prevalence and incidence of prediabetes in an adult population. Methods A cross-sectional (n=10 539) and prospective cohort (n=3 064, followed up for-6 years, mean:2.8 y) study was performed on subjects recruited from the Health Management Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital in Tianjin. Measurements of serum C3 concentration, blood fasting glucose and other potential confounding factors were assessed at baseline and per year during the follow-up period. Prediabetes was defined according to the criteria of American Diabetes Association. Adjusted Logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the associations between C3 quintiles and prediabetes. Results The prevalence and incidence of prediabetes were 19.9% and 99.5 per 1 000 person-year, respectively. In cross-sectional analysis, after adjusted for potential confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of prediabetes for increasing quintiles of C3 were 1.00 (reference), 1.18 (0.98-1.42), 1.11 (0.92-1.34), 1.38 (1.15-1.65) and 1.63 (1.36-1.95) (P for trend<0.000 1). In cohort analysis, in the final multivariate models, the hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for prediabetes across C3 quintiles were 1.00 (reference), 1.20 (0.94-1.54), 1.48 (1.16-1.88), 1.38 (1.09-1.76) and 1.53 (1.21-1.95) (P for trend <0.001), respectively. Conclusion The study suggests that the elevated C3 level is significantly associated with the prevalence and incidence of prediabetes, which means that C3 can be used as a biomarker in early prevention of prediabetes and diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the impact of multiple lacunar infarction (MLI) on the outcomes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods MCI patients were selected in outpatients and hospitalized patients using a common international standard MCI screen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) were used to determine the presence of MLI. MCI patients were followed up for 6～24 months and their cognitive status and the impact of MLI on MCI were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Results One hundred twenty patients were diagnosed as having MCI based on clinical evaluation and neuropsychological assessment. Among them, 43 (35.8%) patients had MLI and the rest 77 (64.1%) patients did not have. Twenty-seven MCI patients with MLI (62.8%) developed dementia, while 15 MCI patients without MLI (19.4%) developed dementia during 6～24 months follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the incidence of dementia was significantly higher in patients with MLI than in patients without MLI did (P＜0.05). Conclusions MCI patients with MLI are more prone to dementia. These results suggest that early interventions aimed at controlling the modifiable risks are warranted for dementia prevention in MCI patients with MLI.
