Objective:To evaluate the effect of peer education on improving compliance of cardiac rehabilitation in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:Totally 64 patients were randomly divided into two groups, namely, the experimental group and the control group with 32 cases in each group. Patients in the experimental group received routine education, nursing, and rehabilitation, plus the peer education treatment, whereas the control group only received routine treatment. The time lasts for 6 months. The compliance of cardiac rehabilitation and the score of China Questionnaire of Quality of Life in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases (CQQC) were measured after 1 month, 3month and 6 month.Results:After 1, 3, and 6 months of intervention, the compliance of cardiac rehabilitation in the intervention group increased by 18.75%, 21.37%, and 21.88%, respectively, compared with the control group. After the first and third months of intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the compliance rate of rehabilitation exercise between the intervention group and the control group ( χ2 values were 18.050, 16.946, respectively, P <0.05), and at the sixth month after intervention, the compliance of the two groups of patients with cardiac rehabilitation was not statistically significant ( χ2 value was 6.489, P> 0.05). After 1, 3, and 6 months of intervention, the quality of life scores of the intervention group were (88.68 ± 6.65), (81.90 ± 6.78), and (76.33 ± 5.90) points, and the quality of life scores of the control group were (84.75 ± 4.72), (75.67 ± 5.88), and (74.71 ± 9.47) points. There was significant difference in the scores of the two groups in the first and third months after the intervention ( t values were 2.235, 2.520, respectively, P<0.05); and in the sixth month after the intervention, the difference in the scores of the two groups wasn`t statistically significant ( t value was 1.049, P >0.05). Conclusion:Peer education can improve the compliance of cardiac rehabilitation and the score of CQQC in patients with coronary heart disease in 3 month, but further research is needed to confirm the long-term effect of peer education.

The medical imaging technology (MIT) specialty hasn't been set up for a long time in China, and the mode of educating students in other institutions vary greatly among different universities. There are several disadvantages in MIT specialty set up in the Affiliated hospitals of universities, such as unreasonable curriculum system, imperfections in teaching and research department, and inadequate guidance on students' innovation ability. Therefore, the solutions for alleviating the above problems that are unfavorable factors to education are proposed, so as to further improve the model of MIT specialty set up in the affiliated hospitals of universities and produce more competent graduates.

Objective To establish chronic coronary stenosis model for fractional flow reserve derived from coronary CT angiography (FFRcT) in Bama miniature pig,and to evaluate its reliability.Methods Sixteen Bama miniature pigs were used to establish chronic coronary stenosis models through placing Ameroid constrictor into proximal or middle segments of left anterior descending arteries (LAD).In the 2nd week after modeling,the degrees of stenosis were monitored with coronary CTA.Invasive coronary angiography was used to verify stenosis degrees and measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) within 2 days of last coronary CTA examination.Computational fluid dynamics model was constructed and FFRcT was calculated by the specialized laboratory based on coronary CTA data respectively.Simulated FFRcT and FFR values were compared to verify this model.Results Models were successfully established in 10 pigs with a total of 24 coronary CT examinations,of which image quality met the diagnostic requirements.All models were with LAD stenosis<25 % in the 2nd week after operation.LAD stenosis >50% was found in the 3rd week in 9 pigs,and the other one was found with LAD stenosis >50% in the 4th week.The results of coronary CTA corresponded to those of coronary angiography.There was no significant difference between simulated FFRcT and FFR value (t =-1.13,P =0.29).Conclusion Through placing Ameroid constrictor into LAD of Bama miniature pig and monitoring the degree of stenosis with coronary CTA,model of chronic coronary stenosis could be successfully established,which are suitable for noninvasive simulating hemodynamics study based on coronary CTA.

Objective To explore risk factors of pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis in cervical cancer,and to observe the value of PET/CT in diagnosis of PLN metastasis with qualitative and semi-quantitative evaluation.Methods Clinical data of 206 patients with cervical cancer who underwent PLN dissection were respectively analyzed.The age and BMI of patients,pathological type,depth of invasion and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage of tumor,serum SCC level,lymph node status of PET/CT and tumor SUVmax were analyzed with univariate analysis.Multivariate analysis was performed for indicators with statistically significant variables.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT in diagnosis of PLN metastasis of cervical cancer were calculated.Besides,the ratios of lymph node 'S SUVmax (SUVmaxLN) to SUVmax of primary tumor (SUVmaxL/T),to liver (SUVmaxL/H) and to arota (SUVmaxL/A) were recorded.ROC curves were plotted,whereas the areas under curve (AUC) were calculated to confirm the best diagnostic cutoff value.Results Univariate analysis showed that age,BMI,pathological type,depth of invasion,FIGO stage,serum SCC level,lymph node status of PET/CT and tumor SUVmax were important factors of PLN metastasis (all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that serum SCC levels,depth of invasion,lymph node status of PET/CT and tumor SUVmax were independent predictors of PLN metastasis (P<0.05).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of PET/CT in diagnosis of PLN metastasis was 54.90% (28/51),91.61% (142/155) and 82.52% (170/206),respectively.The sensitivity of SUVmaxLN =4.19 was higher than SUVmax =2.5.No significant difference of SUVmaxLN with SUVmaxL/T,with SUVmaxL/H nor with SUVmaxL/A was found.Conclusion Serum SCC levels,depth of invasion,lymph node status of PET/ CT and tumor SUVmax are independent predictors of PLN metastasis.PET/CT has certain value in qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of cervical cancer PLN metastasis.

Objective To assess the correlation between standardized uptake value (SUV) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters of primary cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and pelvic metastatic lymph nodes in the use of hybrid PET/MR.Methods Forty-six CSCC patients in Shengjing Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015 were prospectively enrolled and divided into well-differentiated (G1) group,moderate-differentiated (G2) group and poorly-differentiated (G3) group.PET/MR examination with the multi-b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence was performed before treatment.Maximum SUV (SUVmax) and mean SUV (SUVmean) were calculated.IVIM parameters,including the slow diffusion coefficient (D),fast diffusion coefficient (D*),perfusion fraction (f) were also measured.Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between IVIM parameters and SUV(SUVmax,SUVmean).Results The D of G1,G2,G3 lesions and metastatic lymph nodes were (0.827± 0.232) × 10-3,(0.640±0.153) × 10-3,(0.563±0.090) × 10-3 and (0.772±0.246) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively.The f was 0.310±0.068,0.348±0.073,0.287±0.057 and 0.413±0.103 respectively.The D* was (9.241± 2.001) × 10-3,(9.408± 1.927) × 10-3,(9.715± 1.827) × 10-3 and (8.830± 1.632) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively.The SUVmax was 9.988±3.806,12.941±5.990,14.543±7.050 and 9.890±3.906 respectively.The SUVmean was 5.717±2.830,7.094±3.518,8.263±4.124 and 4.952±1.343 respectively.The D of G1 and G2 lesions had negative correlations with SUVmax and SUVmean(G1,r values:-0.816,-0.842;G2,r values:-0.528,-0.559;all P<0.05);the f of G2 lesions had positive correlations with SUVmax and SUV (r values:0.554,0.550,both P<0.05).Conclusions The SUVmax and SUV of the well-moderate differentiated CSCC are consistent with D and f,which reflect the cell density and the microvascular perfusion.PET/MRIVIM could provide important complementary information for treatment-monitoring and prognostic assessment of patients with cervical cancer.
