The integrated polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric pulse sensor is used to pick-up the pulse signals of examined person and turn to the electric signal under processing. Because the signal is very weak, only after passing through the enlargement can the regular pulse profile be allowed to be obtained. The in-phase amplifier circuit is used to magnify the weak signal from the sensor. The magnified pulse signal is converted digital pulse signal through system-on-chip single-chip microcomputer C8051F130. The digitalized pulse signal is delivered to personal computer under USB interface protocol. The pulse signal is then shown, recorded, saved and processed through computer software. This inspecting system for pulse signal has many advantages, such as its structure is simple, it works steadily and reliably, its low cost, high application value and it can also realize rapid collection and storage of pulse signal.

Objective To explore the correlation between the need for cognitive closure and the way of coping with the disease in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Methods 217 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were questionnaired by the Need for Cognitive Closure Scale and the Medical Coping Style Questionnaire (Chinese version). Results The total score of need for cognitive closure in separation and conversion disorder patients was (217.65 ± 31.23) points. The scores of face, yield and avoidance in the coping style were respectively (18.87±2.49) points,(13.21±1.53) points and (17.63±2.27) points. The score of face was significantly negatively correlated with the total score and all dimension scores of the need for cognitive closure(r=-0.421,-0.387,-0.405, P<0.05);the scores of yield and avoidance were positively correlated with the total score and all dimension scores of the need for cognitive closure (r=0.343-0.432, P<0.05). There were significant difference of the way of coping with the disease in the patients with different family income, payment method, course of disease (t=-3.080-3.490, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed need for cognitive closure was influencing factor of way of coping with the disease in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Conclusions The level of need for cognitive closure is in the high level in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, and influencing the way of coping with the disease.

Tuo-Fawas one of three internal treatment rules in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) surgery. It had been widely used in the treatment of superficial suppurative diseases, visceral suppurative diseases and other diseases. This article was aimed to clarify the action mechanism ofTuo-Fa for carrying forward better services in the clinic. This article reviewed and recapitulated related literatures on experimental researches ofTuo-Fa in recent years. It mainly showed the research status on anti-infection, anti-tumor and anti-gastric ulcer withTuo-Fa and its prescriptions. It summarized the existed shortcomings, which was that experimental researches on the action mechanism ofTuo-Fa was still on the initial stage with a few references and obviously lagged behind clinical applications. However, some achievements were also made. It had initially revealed the action mechanism ofTuo-Fa in treatment of pyogenic infection. It also had research on action mechanism of anti-tumor and anti-gastric ulcer treatment. It developed new field for the clinical practice. Finally, the research on action mechanism ofTuo-Fa and future prospects were expressed.

An autopsy-confirmed case of neuro-Behcet's disease was reported with a review of the incidence, etiology, pathological changes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the condition.The lesions of this case were widely distributed, involving the skin, eyes, mouth, genital organ, peripheral blood vessels, liver and central nervous system. The lesions of the central nervous system were mostly located in the cerebrum. A correct clinical diagnosis of neuro-Behcet's disease may be missed or delayed when its neurological symptoms and signs are the first or main manifestations and the other symptoms appear rather late or mild. On the basis of a definite diagnosis of Behcet's disease, the possibility of neuro-Behcet's disease should always be considered especially in patients with disturbances of the nervous system. The pathological diagnosis of neuro-Behcet's disease must be correlated with the clinical manifestasions. And in making the diagnosis, other nervous system disease, especially demyelinating disease euch as multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated ence-phalomyelitis and neuromyelitis optica should be ruled out.No autopsy-confirmed case of neuro-Behcet's disease has ever been reported in China and thie is likely to be the first case
