Objective To compare the image quality produced by MR high resolution vessel wall imaging (HR?VWI) and ultrasound (US) in evaluating carotid plaque load. Methods This prospective study enrolled 21 patients with carotid plaques undergoing HR?VWI and subsequent 2D US between August 2016 to January 2017 in Hebei General Hospitial. The plaque thickness (PT), lumen area (LA), wall area (WA) and total vessel area (TVA) of the plaques were measured and normalized wall index (NWI) was calculated on both HR?VWI images and US for those plaques with image quality score≥3 and matching between the two methods. The plaque load index was compared by using the independent sample t test or the non?parametric Wilcoxon test, and the correlation between the indexes was based on the Pearson test. Results Forty?five carotid plaques were matched with HR?VWI and US. There was no significant difference in PT, LA, WA, TVA and NWI detected by HR?VWI and ultrasound (P>0.05). The parameters measured by two methods were correlated (r values were 0.83, 0.85, 0.32, 0.83 and 0.59, P<0.05). Conclusion There is a good consistency between HR?VWI and conventional ultrasound in the measurement of carotid plaque load.

This paper analyzes the ERCP price setting policy and its impact on the patient''s cost and it puts forward possible price setting policy recommendations, according to the current situation of the disease payment system reform and promotion prospects of ERCP.ERCP belongs to the low-price high-value medical supplies, but hospitalization expenses data of 9 types of diseases show that consumables accounted for 35.81~48.25%.The main factor hindering widely the application of ERCP lies in high-ratio self-payment and high medical cost, in other words, as the ERCP supplies are not included in the scope of medical insurance payments, the current rate of patients with high surgical expenses, medical costs are expensive.As per the analysis of this paper, the following are the policy recommendations to put forward 1)Paying attention to historical settlement data and scientific formulation of disease charges;2)Considering different treatment methods and allocate appropriate disease payment standards;3)Standardize operation code to ensure the information quality of accurate disease expenses calculation.

Objective To investigate the statistical methods used in nursing papers for bachelor's degree. Method We collected 160 nursing theses for bachelor's degree in 2016 in our college and analyze the statistical methods. Results A total of 80 papers used statistical methods consisting of statistical table, statistical inference, single factor analysis, variance analysis and statistical description. Among them, the statistical methods in 66 papers (82.5%) were misused. About 139 misuses of statistical tables was found in papers, and about 23 misuses of statistical inference in papers, taking up 45.4%. Conclusions The nursing undergraduates are familiar with the application of statistical methods, but the methods tend to be simple and unitary. Therefore, it is a need to enhance their practice in using statistical methods.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of loading-dose rosuvastain before early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on reperfusion arrhythmias in patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).METHODS:A total of 136 patients with NSTEMI were randomly divided into loading-dose group (68 cases) and control group (68 cases).Both groups who were not given anti-platelet drugs were given loading-dose of Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 300 mg+Clopidogrel sulfate tablets 600 mg immediately after admission.The patients who were given aspirin regularly were given loading-dose of Clopidogrel sulfate tablets 600 mg only once after admission.The patients who were given clopidogrel regularly were given loading-dose of Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 300 mg only once.Those received PCI 12-24 h after medication.After PCI,they took Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg for life+Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets 75 mg at least 12 months.Loading-dose group was given loading-dose of Rosuvastatin calcium tablets 20 mg orally,12 h before surgery.All patients began to take Rosuvastatin calcium tablets 10 mg,once a day,since the night after the operation.Coronary angiography and the occurrence of reperfusion arrhythmia were observed in 2 groups.The levels of CK-MB and cTnT,major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were observed before and after surgery.RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in the number of diseased vessels,culprit vessels,the degree of culprit vessels stenosis or the incidence of MACE between 2 groups (P> 0.05).The incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia in loading-dose group was significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.01).There was no statistical significance in the degree of culprit vessels stenosis between 2 groups (P>0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistical significance in the levels of CK-MB or cTnT between 2 groups (P>0.05).After surgery,the levels of CK-MB and cTnT in 2 groups were significantly higher than before surgery,but the loading-dose group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.01).CONCLUSIONS:Preoperative loading-dose of rosuvastatin before PCI can reduce the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmias in NSTEMI patients.
