All the collected original electroencephalograph (EEG) signals were the subjects to low-frequency and spike noise. According to this fact, we in this study performed denoising based on the combination of wavelet transform and independent component analysis (ICA). Then we used three characteristic parameters, complexity, approximate entropy and wavelet entropy values, to calculate the preprocessed EEG data. We then made a distinguishing judge on the EEG state by the state change rate of the characteristic parameters. Through the anesthesia and non-anesthesia EEG data processing results showed that each of the three state change rates could reach about 50.5%, 21.6%, 19.5%, respectively, in which the performance of wavelet entropy was the highest. All of them could be used as a foundation in the quantified research of depth of anesthesia based on EEG analysis.

AIM: To analyzed the effect of keratoconjunctivitis sicca treated by different medicines after phacoemulsification in patients with diabetes.METHODS: Totally 78 diabetic patients 78 eyes with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) after phacoemulsification from March 2015 to March 2016 were selected and divided into two groups using random number table.In Group A, 39 eyes were treated with pranoprofen eye drops + artificial tears + Qiming granules.In Group B, 39 eyes were treated with pranoprofen eye drops + artificial tears.the two groups were observed for clinical symptoms, tear film break up time(BUT), corneal fluorescein staining and adverse reaction and so on before and after treatment.RESULTS: Total effective rate of Group A was 97%, significantly higher than that of Group B (64%)(P<0.05).After treatment, symptoms and signs scores of the two groups were significantly lower, BUT were significantly prolonged.At 1, 2wk and 1mo after treatment, symptoms and signs scores of Group A were significantly lower the BUT was longer than those of Group B (P<0.05).Corneal fluorescein staining of Group A at 2wk was lower than that of Group B (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The combined therapy, pranoprofen eye drops + artificial tears + Qiming granules, is able to quickly and effectively improve the clinical symptoms and signs, with no serious adverse reactions for keratoconjunctivitis sicca after phacoemulsification in patients with diabetes.

OBJECTIVETo explore therapeutic effects of minor external fixator for open comminuted phalangeal fractures with non-transarticular.

METHODSFrom January 2013 to December 2014,13 patients with open comminuted phalangeal fractures were treated by minor external fixator with non-transarticular, including 9 males and 4 females aged from 18 to 56 years old with an average of 35 years old. According to Gustilo classification, 8 cases were type II, and 5 cases were type III. The time from injury to operation ranged from 2 to 7 h averaged 5 h. Seven patients were diagnosed as phalangeal fracture, 6 patients were involved with joint surface of phalangeal, which 1 case combined with inherent nerve damage and 1 case combined with soft tissue defect repaired at stage II. The patients were fixed by plaster for 2 weeks and removal external fixtor from 6 to 8 weeks after operation and received functional exercise.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 3 to 12 months with an average of 7 months. One case occurred metacarpophalangeal joints stiffness. No screw breakage, inflammation occurred. Skin soft tissue recovered well and obtained bone healing, the average time of bone healing was (4.6 ± 1.0) weeks. According to TAM scoring system used by Hand Surery Association of Chinese Medical Association, 7 cases got excellent results, 4 good, 1 moderate and 1 poor.

CONCLUSIONMinor external fixator for open comminuted phalangeal fractures with non-transarticular has advantages of simple operation, good stability, and could adjust at the later stage, less damage for soft tissue periosteum, low inflammatory rate, earlier functional exercise. It is worth to be popularized and applied.

Objective To investigate the cause,prognosis and risk factors of hospitalized patients with acute renal failure(ARF). Methods The clinical data of patients with ARF in our hospital from December 2003 to December 2006 were studied retrospectively. Results There were 108 744 admissions during the study period and 320 met with the diagnostic criteria of ARF.Of 320 ARF patients,135(42.2%)were indentified with the onset of the disease over or at the age of 60.Infection,heart failure and drug were the major causes of ARF.The overall mortality rate of ARF patients was 31.9%.The mortality rate of the elderly was significantly higher than that of the non-elderly.The Logistic regression analysis revealed that heart failure,respiratory failure and malignant tumor were the related risk factors of prognosis.The mortality in replacement therapy group was lower than that in conservative treatment group (23.2% vs 35.6%,P＜0.05).Conclusions The incidence and mortality of hospitalized patients with acute renal failure are high.The prognosis of replacement therapy group is better than conservative treatment group.

Objective To study the preventive effects of selective bile ductal cannulation using an aqua-coat tipped Metro tracer guidewire on pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia after ERCP. Methods A total of 291 patients with biliary disease were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomized into the guidewire group (n= 149) and the control group (n= 142). In the guidewire group, the bile duct was first accessed by insertion of an aqua-coat tipped Metro tracer (diameter 0. 029 inch) guidewire through a 5.5Fdouble channel ERCP-tube to judge the bile duct by the direction of guidewire. As soon as cannulation was accomplished, the guidewire was removed to allow injection of contrast medium and other therapeutic manipulation. In the control group, the bile duct was opacified by the traditional method of cannulation of the biliary tree followed by single ERCP-tube cannulation, judgment of the bile duct by injection of contrast medium and performance of other therapeutic procedures. The incidences of post-ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia were compared between the 2 groups. Results The selective bile ductal cannulation was successfully conducted in 145 patients in the guidewire group and 138 in the control group. The incidences of post-ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia were significantly lower in the guidewire group than in the control group. Pancreatitis tended to be less severe for patients in the guidewire group. Conclusion Using the Double-Crossing method in selective bile ductal cannulation with an aqua-coat tipped Metro tracer guidewire reduced not only the frequencies of post-ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia but also the severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis.
