Exploration of classroom teaching combining mathematics and physics with medicine / 中华医学教育探索杂志

The combination of mathematics and physics with medicine is one of the difficulties in medical education. This paper analyzed seven factors that restricted the combination of mathematics and physics with medicine in current medical education, and explored classroom teaching methods including highlighting key knowledge, problem-guided teaching, logical deduction and experiment and so on in Clinical Application of Medical Device, a course particularly for medical students. In the end, it is concluded that the above methods have improved students' ability of comprehensive application of knowledge, logical thinking and problem-solving, and improved teaching quality. Also, this paper discussed teaching methods to improve the level of the course combining mathematics and physics with medicine.

Evaluation of general practice mentors training in Zhejiang province / 中华全科医师杂志

By questionnaire we conducted a cluster sampling survey on 150 general practice meutors in Zhejiang province who completed training program during November 2011 to May 2013.By using Kirkpatrick's four level evaluation methods,we evaluated the training program based on the response level,learning level and behavior level.A total of 141 valid questionnaires were collected.The results showed that 92.2％ of participants (130/141) were satisfied with the training contents,94.3％ (133/141) were satisfied with the teachers,87.9％ (124/141) were satisfied with the training environment,83.7％ (118/141) thought the training contents useful,and 89.4％ (126/141) were satisfied with the training organization.Only 31.2％ (44/141) of participants mastered the knowledge and skills of general practice before training,and the figure increased to 87.2％ (123/141) after training.The results also showed that 67.3％ (95/141) of participants were able to use the knowledge acquired in the training,and 81.6％ (115/141) of them were able to apply the concept of general practice in their teaching practice.These results indicate that general practice mentors are satisfied with the training in the aspects of response,learning and behavior,aud the training program would play a positive role in promoting their performance in teaching practice.

Development of mobile monitor for risk factor control on chronic disease / 中国医疗器械杂志

In order to improve the control rate of risk factors of chronic disease, it is developed a status control method of risk factor and its mobile monitor. The monitor uses 32 bit RISC microprocessor of S3C2410X as a controller based on ARM920T core, and MC35i cellular engine GSM/GPRS supported by SIEMENS as the communication unit. The proving tests show that the physical activity, diet, smoking and alcohol of the controlled people can be controlled using the status control method, and the monitor plays a key role in the method. The conclusion is that status control method and mobile monitor can become an alternation method and technology for the risk factor control of chronic disease.

Risk factors of chronic disease for high-risk population and its application in community / 中华全科医师杂志

The individual intervention control of risk factors in high-risk population is one of key preventive measures of chronic disease.A total of 312 volunteers consulted physicians in one selected community.And 23 high-risk individuals of chronic disease were screened.The physicians customized the limit or requirement of diet,activity,tobacco and alcohol for each individual and made interventions of life behaviors according to the plans.The results showed that physical state of 20 (87％) of them converted from high-risk to health after interventions.Therefore customized control plan of individual risk factors is an effective control method of chronic disease.

Some perspectives of management in the use of medical devices / 中国医疗器械杂志

The improper selection, management or use of medical devices may lead to a disproportionate rise in the cost of healthcare, which has concerned many countries. Some perspectives of management in the use of medical device have been widely discussed in 1st global forum on medical devices held by the World Health Organization on Thailand in 2010. This paper presents some main perspectives about this.

Research on a novel method for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function / 生物医学工程学杂志

The methods for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function completely and simply are lacking in our country at present. To solve this problem, we presents in this paper a novel method, which is developed according to certain algorithms and mathematic models and is carried out by a MATLAB program. This method mainly obtains dP/dt loops, and calculates four important indices, including left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), Maximal decrease in velocity of left ventricular pressure (--(dP/dt)max), Time constant of ventricular isovolumic relaxation (tau) and Chamber stiffness (Kd), according to the changes of left ventricular pressure. The results obtained from the experiment of isolated rat hearts during ischemia/reperfusion have demonstrated the usefulness and validity of this method. Therefore, with the use of tau and Kd as indicators, this is a sensitive and effective method for evaluating the left ventricular diastolic function, and it can be applied to early detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Status and challenges of medical metrology in China / 中国医疗器械杂志

In recent years, more and more new medical devices appears, among them there are many measurement instruments related to consistency and stability of value, and safety to device. Presently China is facing the health policy reforms and medical quantity management system establishment. The primary duty of the clinical engineering is to ensure security and validity of medical devices, and preventing maintenance included of measurement and safety is important measure for the duty. The paper overviews the status in medical metrology and challenge for health policy reform in China, and gives some suggestions to resolve medical metrology.

Effect of pressure phase plane derived τ and K on evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in isolated rat heart during ischemia/reperfusion / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To analyze and compare the changes of pressure phase plane(PPP) derived τ and K on isolated rat heart during ischemia/reperfusion, and to explore the value of PPP derived τ and K for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. METHODS: LVEDP, -d(p/dt)_(max), τ and K were measured and calculated during ischemia/reperfusion in Sprague-Dawley rat hearts. Meanwhile, the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the coronary effluent was measured, and the ultrastructure changes in myocardium were observed under electron microscope. RESULTS: Compared with control group, τ increased and K reduced significantly in each ischemic group in a time dependent manner (P<0.05). With prolonged ischemia, τ was even higher and K was even lower (P<0.05). Compared with control group, except ischemia 15 min, LDH in other groups increased significantly at 10 min and 20 min after reperfusion (P<0.05). Compared with ischemia 30 min, LDH of ischemia 45 min and ischemia 60 min were even higher at 10 min and 20 min after reperfusion (P<0.05). With prolonged ischemia, the abnormal changes of the myocardial ultrastructure were observed. CONCLUSION: PPP derived τ and K may be promising indexes for quantitative assessment of left ventricular diastolic function on isolated) rat heart during ischemia/reperfusion, and indication of the severity of ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Method and apparatus for blood flow detection based on detention catheter / 生物医学工程学杂志

The methods for measurement of blood flow contain dilution, electro-magnetism, nuclear magnetic resonance, Doppler etc. The dilution, which includes heat dilution, 131Xe, etc., can not display the moving blood flow in real-time. The expenses of nuclear magnetic resonance expenses are very high. Electromagnetism must be used in the surgical operation. And ultrasound Doppler can not record other parameters of hemodynamics synchronously. This paper brings up a kind of blood flow measuring method with simple operating rules, dependable performance, and low cost to meet the needs in hemodynamic studies. The differential pressure between stay and fluxion points of the tube is produced in proportion to the square of velocity while fluid flows through the tube. We not only measure blood pressure or transfer drug using the detention catheter with double chamber, but also detect the differential pressure related within blood flow. The result of detecting cerebral blood flow (CBF) in clinical setting shows this method can record the diagram of dynamic blood flow and is a valid was of detecting blood flow for hemodynamic studies.
