Objective To analyze the mortality in people aged 70 years and over who had undergone aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis.Methods The clinical data of 246consecutive cases aged 70 years and over,who had received AVR,were retrospectively analyzed.The 144 cases (58.5 % ) had hypertension,42 cases ( 17.1 %) had atrial fibrillation,27 cases ( 11.0 % )were obeses,and 18 cases (7.3%) had undergone previous heart surgery.Results The 29 cases (11.8%) were dead within 30 days after operation.Among them,15 cases (8.8%) were with isolated AVR and the other 14 cases (18.7%) were with an associate procedure,the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of postoperative complication was 24 .4%.The commoncomplications were:48 cases (19.5%) with low cardiac output,24 cases (9.8%) with renal dysfunction,52 cases (21.1% ) with prolonged ventilatory support and 12 cases (4.9%) with sepsis.In the Poisson regression analysis,the main predictors of mortality were low cardiac output,renal failure,sepsis and associate procedure.The main predictors of morbidity were CBP time ＞ 120 min,atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Conclusions The balance between the benefits and risks of the surgery should be well evaluated before deciding to perform AVR.

Objective:To explore the application effect of modified direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) as a formative assessment tool in clinical skills training of professional graduate students.Methods:A total of 130 professional graduate students of Batch 2019 were selected as the experimental group, and 127 graduate students of Batch 2018 were selected as the control group. Two groups of students received clinical general skills training after enrollment, the control group adopted the traditional skills teaching method, and the experimental group added DOPS as formative assessment on the basis of traditional teaching. The teaching effect of DOPS was evaluated by means of scores analysis and student self-assessment. SPSS 23.0 was used for t-test. Results:The score of the experimental group (84.35±3.41) was higher than that of the control group (77.58±2.68), which showed a statistically significant difference ( t=2.63, P<0.05). The scores of "skill operation ability" and "communication ability" were the lowest single indexes in the assessment of DOPS. The results of self-assessment showed that the scores of autonomous learning ability, clinical thinking ability, clinical practice ability and professional accomplishment of students in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Modified DOPS is helpful to improve clinical core ability, which is worth promoting for application.

Objective:To evaluate the hemostatic effects of our self-designed pelvic band with inflatable balloon in a swine model of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.Methods:"Open-book like" fractures were created with the external iliac blood vessels exposed in 24 12-month-old female Bama miniature pigs which were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n=6). Group C (the control group) was subjected to no treatment other than exposure of the external iliac blood vessels, group D to no treatment following destruction of the external iliac blood vessels, group T1 to fixation with simple pelvic band after destruction of the external iliac blood vessels, and group T2 to fixation with our self-designed pelvic band with inflatable balloon after destruction of the external iliac blood vessels. The 4 groups were compared in terms of 40-min survival rate, bladder pressure, peak lactate value, total blood loss, bleeding rate, infusion rate, and angiographic images. Results:There was no significant difference in the baseline indexes among the 4 groups before experiment, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The 40-min survival rate in group T2 was 83.3% (5/6), significantly higher than that in groups D and T1 [0% (0/6) and 0% (0/6)] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences among groups C, D, T1 and T2 in bladder pressure [(6.67±1.03) mmHg, (5.83±1.94) mmHg, (6.00±1.55) mmHg, and (6.00±1.10) mmHg] or in total blood loss among groups D, T1 and T2[(1,198.0±182.9) mL, (1,252.0±148.4) mL, and (1,150.0±125.7) mL] (all P>0.05). The peak lactate value in group T2 [(2.26±0.24) mmol/L] was significantly lower than that in group D [(5.00±0.60) mmol/L] and group T1 [(3.86±0.57) mmol/L], and the bleeding rate and infusion rate in group T2 [(25.83±5.49) mL/min and (26.00±4.69) mL/min] were also significantly lower than those in group D [(83.50±19.85) mL/min and (71.50±29.11) mL/min] and group T1 [(54.17±15.59) mL/min and (54.17±8.98) mL/min] (all P<0.05). Angiography showed contrast agent extravasation in group T2, especially from the artery, but the extravasation speed in group T2 was significantly slower than that in group D. Conclusion:In a swine model of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture, our self-designed pelvic band with inflatable balloon has a definite hemostatic effect on vascular injury which is better than that of a simple pelvic band.

Pharmacy active consultation refers to the spontaneous activity that clinical pharmacists take the initiative to go to clinical departments to help doctors solve problems related to drug use in clinical practice ，put forward drug treatment suggestions or provide pharmaceutical services ，and form medical documents . The difference between pharmacy active consultation and pharmacy consultation is that the latter is generally proposed by the clinician ，who sends a consultation invitation to the pharmacy department in the hospital information system ，and the clinical pharmacist will go to the consultation after receiving it ，while the former is a pharmaceutical service mode that the clinical pharmacist takes the initiative to carry out in the clinical department . On the basis of routine pharmacy active consultation ，clinical pharmacists in our hospital also further carried out a special active consultation mode （including prompt special active consultation for patients with multidrug resistance bacteria positive ，active monitoring and intervention for patients with drug -induced liver injury ），and patient pharmaceutical supervision in the form of return visit of pharmacy active consultation . Pharmacy active consultation and its special active consultation possess the characteristics of initiative ， early and extensive coverage ，as a supplement to resident clinical pharmacy services . Pharmacy active consultation could help the pharmacy department to improve service efficiency ，provide a new perspective for medical institutions to carry out efficient pharmaceutical services ，and supply new ideas for the reform of pharmaceutical services in China .
