Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on anxiety in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Methods 50 patients with AMI undergoing IABP with the score of Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) more than 14 points, were divided into conventional intervention group (n=25) and comprehensive intervention group (n=25). The conventional intervention group received all the conventional nursing measures including cognitive behavioral intervention, and the comprehensive intervention group received propofol intravenous pumping in addition with Ramsay sedation at II-III level. The vital signs, HAMA scores, major cardiovascular events, and vascular complications were recorded before and the 1st-5th days after intervention. Results The HAMA scores, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean pressure decreased in most of the time points after intervention in the comprehensive intervention group (P<0.05). And there was no complication such as low blood pressure, respiratory depression. The incidence rates of cardiac arrhythmias, puncture hematoma/bleeding and catheter displacement were lower in the comprehensive intervention group than in the conventional intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive intervention can improve the symptoms of anxiety in the patients with AMI undergoing IABP, and reduce the incidence of arrhythmia, vascular complications and catheter displacement.

Objective:
To explore the application of grid health education model in improving college students health literacy.
Methods:
The clustered stratified random sampling method was used among the pre-formative education freshmen in a Xi-an university, with 1 123 students randomly selected totally. The intervention group (578) received health literacy education based on grid health education model, while the control group (545) receuved the original health education model. The effect of gird model of health education on health literacy was compared between two groups of college students after one-semester intervention.
Results:
Insufficient health literacy was found among freshmen participants in Xi an(17.12%, 17.61%); health literacy on prevention and treatment of chronic diseases (15.92%, 16.70%) was significantly lower than the national average level of urban residents(22.73%). Health literacy of the two groups of college students was significantly improved(47.75%, 27.71%, χ 2=20.50, 5.47, P<0.05). The grid health education model had significant effects in improving health literacy among college students, except for health literacy on safety and emergency(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Health literacy of college students is insufficient compared to that of urban residents in China. Grid model of health education model is superior to conventional health education model, which is in line with the requirements of health education in colleges in the new era.

The basic objective of microwave hyperthermia is to raise the temperature in the tumor tissue without overheating point for a long time. It's difficult to achieve uniform temperature distribution using the continuous heating without changing the antenna shape and inserting position. In this paper, the interstitial antenna worked in the frequency of 2450 MHz inserted into an infinite muscle model is studied. The Finite Difference Time Domoin (FDTD) method was used to calculate the electromagnetic field, while the finite difference method (FDM) was used to analyze the temperature distribution in tumor tissue. The simulation results show that the long-time evenly heating can be achieved by using the alternately heating process and the treatment area can be changed by adjusting input power.

Objective:To evaluate the benefit of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a consolidation therapy in the survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients at different risks. Methods:A total of 67 MM patients who received ASCT as consolida-tion therapy between August 2006 and July 2011 were enrolled in the retrospective study. The cases were divided into three risk groups on the basis of the International Staging System and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Another 67 patients who accepted consolidation chemotherapy at the same period were selected as case-paired controls matched in terms of age, sex, optimal response after induction, and risk stratifications. All the patients received bortezomib-and/or thalidomide-based induction therapies. Results:No statistical differ-ences in non-complete remission (nCR)/complete remission (CR) rate were observed between the ASCT and chemotherapy groups (44.8%vs. 37.3%, P=0.380) after the induction therapy. The progression-free survival (PFS) was longer in the ASCT group than in the chemotherapy group (32.4 months vs. 15.1 months, P<0.001). The overall survival (OS) was longer in the ASCT group than in the che-motherapy group (58.8 months vs. 42.1 months, P=0.009). both the PFS (median:30.5 months vs. 11.2 months, P<0.001) and the OS (median:85.5 months vs. 34 months, P=0.015) rates were significantly prolonged in the high-risk subgroup after ASCT. In the interme-diate-risk subgroup, neither PFS nor OS showed any significance after ASCT (P>0.05). In the low-risk subgroup, only PFS was extend-ed (median: 34.8 months vs. 17.6 months, P=0.012) after ASCT, without significant improvements in the OS (P>0.05). Conclusion:The MM patients obtained cytogenetic high-risk benefits mostly from ASCT consolidation after inductions based on novel agents.
