Objective To investigate the clinical value of Holter monitor(DCG) in the diagnosis and treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).Methods According to NT-proBNP ＞ 2 000pg/mL,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40％,New York Heart Association (NYHA) rated Ⅲ-Ⅳ,67 patients with DCM were divided into the high risk group and nonhigh risk group.All kinds of arrhythmia patients proportion was compared between the two groups,in order to understand the risk factors of DCM and arrhythmias.Results In high risk group,18 cases had ventricular tachycardia,the incidence rate was 66.7％,which was significantly higher than that of non high risk group (2 cases,5.0％) (x2 =29.271,P ＜ 0.01).While other arrhythmia,atrial premature beats,single premature ventricular contraction,atrial fibrillation and so on,had no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The DCM patients with various types of arrhythmia,ventricular tachycardia in patients directly influence the severity and prognosis,Holter monitor has an irreplaceable role.

It is generally known that postoperative pain can cause many adverse clinical effects on the patients of orthopaedic surgery such as lack of exercises of the involved limb,atrophy of the related muscles,anchylosis,osteoparosis,et al,which will ultimately affect the patient's final recovery and living quality.This paper introduces some recent advanced theories about the orthopaedic postoperative pain diagnosis,evaluation and various kinds of treatments hoping to achieve more effective perioperative analgesia in orthopaedic surgery.

Since cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)guidelines was constituted in 1974,it was adopted many times.The American Heart Association,in collaboration with the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation(ILCOR),adopted new CPR science guidelines in January,2005.This article gives a short introduction of CPR,and showes the progress of several editions.

Objective To observe the earlier changes of left heart structure and function in patients with Grade 1 hypertension.Methods 65 patients with Grade 1 hypertension were measured on the left atrial diameter(LAD),left ventricular diameter,thickness of ventricular,mass index and evaluate the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by UCG.Results Compaired to 50 normal controls,the LAD and left ventricular diastolic function of the patients(38.06?3.68 mm,0.72?0.11) was significantly different with those of 50 normal controls(29.86?3.08 mm,1.18?0.08)(P

ObjectiveThe purpose of this research was to investigate functional connectivity of 16-channel electroencephalograph(EEG) in δ frequency band based on Granger causality analysis.MethodsThe experimental data was recorded at a sampling rate of 200 Hz from temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients(6 left and 3 right TLE,and 9 normals as control group.Ten of EEG segments of 20 s length for three different states:epileptiform discharges (ED) state in interictal durations,non-ED state for TLE patients,and control state for the normal.The δ band components (1～4 Hz) were filtered from EEGs.The functional connection values Iδ between two EEG δ components were calculated separately by Granger causality analysis.The two EEG components were from inferoposterior temporal lobe (left:T5,right:T6) to frontal lobe (Fp1,Fp2,F3,F4,and parietal lobe (C3,C4) for three states.ResultsThe Iδ values for ED state was 0.1323±0.0329～0.1670±0.028 9,which was significantly higher than that of non-ED state (0.0300±0.0130～0.0420±0.0072) (P＜0.05).The Iδ values for the control group (0.0153±0.0028～0.0193±0.0057) was much lower than that of ED state (P＜0.01),and no obvious distinctions were observed compared with non-ED state at P=0.05 level.ConclusionThere is a stronger connection of EEG' s δ bands from the inferoposterior temporal lobe to frontal and parietal lobe for the ED state,and the over-discharges transmission is from inferoposterior temporal lobe to other brain regions.There is a weaker connection from the top temporal lobe to frontal and parietal lobe for non-ED state and control group,and the onset zones is not inferoposterior temporal lobe.
