Purpose: To explore the effect of role-play in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) teaching for dental students.
Methods: The experimental group included 40 students from grade 2011 while the control group included 41 students from grade 2010 in College of Stomatology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Students in the control group were taught in traditional method, while those in the experimental group were taught using role play method. At the end of the course, we compared the outcome of theoretic test and skill evaluation about CPR. Evaluation of role-play in the experimental group was conducted by questionnaire survey. SPSS13.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The results of theoretic test and skill evaluation in the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). The result of questionnaire showed that role-play was approved by over 80% students.
Conclusions: Role-play is advantageous over traditional teaching for dental students and can improve students' comprehensive ability and CPR skill.

Background: Diabetes with its highly prevalence has become a major contributor to the burden of health care costs worldwide. Recent unequivocal evidence has revealed a bidirectional link between oral health and diabetes. In this study, the effects of the Oral Health Promotion Program (OHPP) on oral hygiene, oral health-related quality of life and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in diabetic elderly were examined.

Background: Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH) is a universal hip articular disease and is very hard to perceive at an early stage. The understanding of the pathogenesis of SIONFH is still limited, and the identification of efficient diagnostic biomarkers is insufficient. This research aims to recognize and validate the latent exosome-related molecular signature in SIONFH diagnosis by employing bioinformatics to investigate exosome-related mechanisms in SIONFH.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).
