Objective To determine the relationships among the balance between nurse's work and family,the nursing practice environment and demission intention.Methods A total of 351 nurses were recruited from 5 hospitals in Zhengzhou by convenience sampling method.They were investigated using the Questionnaires for balance between nurse's work and family,the nursing practice environment and demission intention.Results The mean scores of the balance between nurse's work and family,the nursing practice environment and demission intention was (3.09±0.46),(2.86±0.48),(2.51 ±0.57).The predictors of demission intention of nurses were rational allocation of resources,age,work disturbs family,and family promotes work.Conclusions The levels of the balance between nurse's work and family,the nursing practice environment and demission intention are all in the medium.The balance between nurse's work and family and the nursing practice environment have direct positive influence on demission intention.

Objective To evaluate the synchrony of heart after catheter-based renal denervation by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging.Methods Each renal sympathetic nerve of 20 dogs were ablated,and the index of heart and blood pressure were detected 6 weeks later.Standard 2D images were acquired in the 2-,3-and 4-apical views.The times from QRS onset to peak-systolic strain rate and to peak-diastolic strain rate were measured for the longitudinal 16-segments in Qlab software,and the standard deviation were calculated.The time to peak longitudinal strain rate and time to peak contraction strain rate of left atrium were measured for each segment contained septal,latera,anterior and posterior in the level of the basal segments,middle sections and apical in Qlab software,and the standard deviation were calculated.Parameters were compared among the before and after of the ablation.Results The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure had no changes after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve (P > 0.05).The R-R showed a increasing trend,but no significant differences(P >0.05).The peak time of LV systolic and diastolic strain rate had a extended trendency too,but no differences(P >0.05),and standard deviations of the peak times had no significant differences(P >0.05).The peak time of LA longitudinal strain rate and contraction strain rate had a extended trendency,but no obvious change (P >0.05),and the standard deviations of the peak times had no significant differences (P >0.05).The size of the heart cavity had no differences(P >0.05).Conclusions The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure have no changes after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve,and the synchrony parameters of LV and LA have no significant differences,demonstrate that the synchrony of heart is not affected by the renal sympathetic denervation.

Objective To evaluate the security of catheter-based renal denervation by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging.Methods 20 dogs was ablated,whose indicies of heart and blood pressure were detected 6 weeks later.Standard 2D images were acquired in the 2-,3-and 4-apical views as well as the parasternal short-axis views at the level of the mitral valve and papillary muscles.The time to peak-systolic strain of each segment in the level of the mitral valve and papillary muscles,the standard deviation of the time to peak-systolic strain,the peak strain of the longitudinal 12-segment were recorded.Parameters were compared among the before and after ablation.Results Compared with before ablation of renal sympathetic nerve,the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure didn't reduced significantly after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve (P > 0.05),while there were no significant difference in the peak strain of the longitudinal 12-segment,the dyssychrony parameters and the size of the heart cavity before and after ablation(P >0.05).Conclusions The pressure had no change after the ablation of renal sympathetic nerve while without harmful effect on the the size of the heart cavity,the function of the myocardial contraction and the dyssychrony parameters.The ablation of renal sympathetic nerve can' t lower the normal blood pressure and be safe for heart at the same time.

Objective To ohserve the effect of individualized exercise programs on the activity tolerance and life quality of heart failure patients with a preserved ejection fraction.Methods Heart failure patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were randomized to an exercise training group (n=55) or a control group (n =53).Both groups were given optimized heart failure drug therapy,while the exercise training group was additionally provided with individualized exercise training.The LVEFs,6-minute walking distances (6MWDs),Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ) scores and adverse events were noted before the experiment and after 12 months of the intervention.Results After one year,no significant differences were found in the groups' average LVEFs or in the ineidence of adverse events,while the average 6MWD and the average MLHFQ score of the exercise training group were significantly better than those of the control group.The average MLHFQ seore decrease (7.8 points) was statistically and practically significant.Conclusion Individualized exercise training can significantly improve the activity tolerance and quality of life of patients with a preserved ejection fraction.It is safe,but the impacts on the ejection fraction are small.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for de novo large coronary vessels.
Methods:
One hundred and two patients were retrospectively enrolled in this study, there were 104 lesions with the reference lumen diameter of target vessel more than 2.8 mm and patients were treated with DCB in de novo lesions during May 2015 and July 2017 in our center. Coronary artery angiography and quantitative coronary angiography were performed in 82 (80.4%) patients at follow up period ((8.1±1.7) months post procedure). The endpoints were late lumen loss (LLL) at follow up,and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and stent or target lesion thrombosis at 12 months post procedure.
Results:
Ninety-eight lesions were treated with DCB only, 6 (5.9%) bailout drug-eluting stent (DES) were used because of severe coronary dissection, 2 patients (2.0%) received revascularization driven by acute ischemic events during hospitalization. Cutting balloons and NSE balloons were used in 65.4% (68/104) and 26.0% (27/104) lesions. The lesion length was (12.57±3.58) mm and the DCB length was (19.87±4.55) mm. The late lumen loss was (0.01±0.52) mm during angiographic follow up. The TLR rate and overall MACE rate was 3.9% (4/102) and 3.9% (4/102) and there was no death,MI and target lesion thrombosis at 12 months follow up.
Conclusion
DCB treatment for de novo large coronary vessels is effective and safe.

Objective To assess the influence of metabolic syndrome(MS)on the success rate of catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF)in the elderly. Methods A retrospective study included a total of 221 aged patients with AF who underwent AF ablation for the first time. The patients were divided into two groups :an MS group(n=72)and a control group(without MS)(n=149) . The MS group had a mean age of (67.1 ± 5.2) years ;the control group had a mean age of (68.3 ± 5.7) years. Forty-six patients in the MS group and 105 patients in the control group experienced paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Prognoses in two groups were compared at the end of the follow-up. Results At the end of the follow-up ,the success rates of the procedure in the MS group and the control group were 37.5%(n = 27)and 51.7%(n = 77) ,respectively (χ2= 3.917 ,P = 0.049) .Recurrence happened in 19 patients of the MS group and 28 patients of the control group ,and they underwent a repeat ablation. The overall success rates after the last ablation in the two groups were 51.4%(n=37)and 65.8%(n=98) ,respectively (χ2=4.224 ,P=0.034).In the multivariable model adjusted for risk factors ,MS(HR=1.42 ,95% CI :1.11-1.64 ,P=0.033)and left atrial diameter(HR= 1.83 ,95% CI :1.27-3.19 , P = 0.017 ) were independent predictors for recurrence. Conclusions MS can affect the success rate of catheter ablation for AF in elderly patients and the effect remains even after the procedures are repeated
