Objective To understand the situation of college students' awareness about innovative credit, analyze the influencing factors, in order to provide a scientific basis for constructing innovation credits and promoting the double strategy. Method The undergraduates of a medical university who were still at school in April 2015 were selected, and by using a stratified cluster sampling method, 450 students were chosen to be conducted by self-administered questionnaire survey to understand the cognitive status of in-novation of credit system in college students. Chi square test was used to compare the passing rates of students in different demographic characteristics, and the relationship between scores was analyzed by linear regression analysis. Result A total of 439 valid questionnaires were collected , and the total scores of innovative knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of 439 undergraduates were 15.95％ (70/439), 36.44％ (160/439) and 32.80％(144/439) respectively. In the part of knowledge innovation credits, girls' passing rate was higher than boys ( χ2=4.010,P=0.045. In the part of attitude, high grade group students had more positive attitude than the low grade group of students ( χ2=6.227,P=0.0013). In the part of behavior; higher grade students with innovative credits had higher pass rates than those in lower grades (chi, 2=7.781, P=0.005), and boys had a higher rate of passing than girls ( χ2=6.658,P=0.010). The total score of knowledge was positively linear with the total score of attitude and behavior. Conclusion College Students' awareness of innovation credit rate is low, but the innovative attitude and behavior is positive. The higher the awareness rate is conducive to the cultivation of attitude and behavior, so it is necessary in medical colleges to carry out innovation of credit and promote the cultivation of innovative consciousness.

Results The plasma concentrations of cTnI and MDA and activity of CK-MB were significantly lower, while the plasma SOD activity was significantly higher at 4 and 8 h after aortic unclmping, and the plasma concentration of MDA was significantly lower at 24 h after aortic unclamping in group R than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Remifentanil postconditioning can attenuate myocardial I/R injury in patients undergoing open heart surgery under CPB through inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

To solve the problem that mostly gait analysis is independent from the treatment, this work proposes a system that integrates the functions of gait training and assessment for foot drop treatment. The system uses a set of sensors to collect gait parameters and designes multi-mode functional electrical stimulators as actuator. Body area network technology is introduced to coordinate the data communication and execution of the sensors and stimulators, synchronize the gait analysis and foot drop treatment. Bluetooth 4.0 is applied to low the power consumption of the system. The system realizes the synchronization of treatment and gait analysis. It is able to acquire and analyze the dynamic parameters of ankle, knee and hip in real-time, and treat patients by guiding functional electrical stimulation delivery to the specific body locations of patients.
