Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(17):3370-3374
Based on the peak value of power spectral density (PPSD) and corresponding frequency (CF), an approach that performs electroencephalogram (EEG) feature extraction during imaginary right and left hand movements was proposed. The data were gained from brain computer interface competition in 2003 provided by Graz University of Technology. The EEG signals between 8-16 Hz were decomposed by db3 wavelet packet at three levels. The PPSD and CF of electrodes C3 and C4 were defined as the EEG feature vectors and calculated respectively. The left and right hand motor imaginary tasks were distinguished by the time-variable linear classifier. The proposed method was applied to the test data for 140 trials. The satisfactory results were obtained with the highest classification accuracy 89.29%. The maximum mutual information was 0.622 8 bit, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was 1.371 3. The PPSD and its CF on electrodes C3 and C4 between 8 and 16 Hz were coincident with event-related desynchronization (ERD) and event-related synchronization (ERS). This method is simple, quick, and promising for on-line brain computer interface system.
2.Mental health and response to life events: a survey in immigrant medical professionals in Dongguan city
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2011;05(4):246-248
Objective To learn mental health,life events and stress response of immigrant medical professionals. Methods Symptom checklist ( SCL-90), Life event scale ( LES), and Coping questionnaire (CQ) were used for assessment. Results SCL-90 ( 135.95 ± 32. 56 ), Somatization ( 1.62 ± 0. 38 ),obsessive-compulsion ( 1.75 ± 0. 53), depression (1.66 ± 0. 55) ,anxiety ( 1.52 ± 0. 54), hostility ( 1.53 ±0.45) ,and psychoticism (1.45 ±0.46) were even serious in immigrant medical professionals (all P<0. 05). SCL-90 factor score was positively correlated with LES total score and LES factor score ( both P <0. 05 ). However, SCL-90 factor score was negatively correlated with problem-solving and coping style score of CQ (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion As mental health and life event responses were concerned, more attention should be paid to the immigrant medical professionals.

Objective To explore application of case management for hypertension in the elderly.Methods In total, 106 elderly patients with hypertension treated at outpatient and inpatient departments of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xian Jiaotong University were recruited during January to October 2007, and divided randomly into two groups, one with conventional management and the other with case management.Patients with conventional treatment accepted routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and were followed-up passively, and patients with case management accepted integrated therapy and active interview provided by a team with a cardiovascular specialist as core, were followed-up actively and their medical records were kept in files. Percentage of the patients with blood pressure lowered to meet criteria of effectiveness and their improvement in depression and anxiety status and quality of life were evaluated two years after management for the two groups. Results Percentage of patients with their blood pressure lowered to meet effective criteria increased significantly in both of the groups, from 32. 8% to 67.5% in patients with conventional management and from 33.7% to 83.4% in those with case management ( P = 0. 007 ),respectively. Scores of self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) decreased in patients of the both groups, from 57 ± 10 and 56 ± 11 before management to 40 ±9 and 48 ± 10 after it,respectively in patients of conventional management ( P = 0. 032 ), and from 56 ± 10 and 57 ± 10 before management to 35 ±9 and 40 ± 9 after it ( P = 0. 008 ), respectively in those with case management; and scores of quality of life improved in patients of the two group, from 65 ± 13 before management to 85 ± 14 after it in those with conventional management, and from 64 ± 13 before management to 98 ± 14 after it in those with case management ( P = 0.017 ), respectively. Conclusions Case management is better for chronic diseases and recommended in management for the elderly with hypertension, which can improve their targets of blood pressure lowering, decrease their scores of SAS and SDS and improve their quality of life,with an integrated, in-depth, continuous management.

Objective:To explore the effect of humanistic care on the quality of life and the negative emotion of patients with liver cancer operation. Methods: A total of 577 patients with liver cancer surgery were selected to participate in this study from January 2014 to December 2015 . From January 2014 to December 2014 , 288 cases of liver cancer patients were given routine nursing care as the control group. From January 2015 to December 2015, 289 patients were given humanistic care nursing as experimental group. The emotion of depression and anxiety were evaluated using Self-rating Depression Scale and Self-rating Anxiety Scale, the quality of life was evaluated with the core scale of life quality measurement system for cancer patients, while sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results:Both depression and anxiety score of the subjects in experimental group were lower than those in the control group(P<0. 05). Physical function, cognitive function, social function, emotional function, role function, and overall health status of the subjects in the experimental group were higher than those in the con-trol group (P<0. 05), while pain, tiredness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, insomnia, diarrhea, loss of appetite, constipation, economic difficulties and other score were statistically lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The subjects′quality of life of in the experimental group was better than those in the control group(P<0 . 05 ) , but the sleep index score was lower in the experimental group ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion: Humanistic care nursing can effectively reduce the negative emotions of patients with liver cancer surgery, and thus to improve the quality of life.

Objective To explore the endoscopic and histopathological features of serrated adenomas (SAs).Methods The data of patients with colorectal polyps diagnosed in the Digestive Endoscopy Center at Nanfang Hospital from January 2002 to July 2005 were reviewed and the detection rate, endoscopic appearances, pit patterns and histopathological features of SAs were analyzed.Results In 1928(16.21%) out of 11 894 patients undergoing colonscopy 2811 polyps were found.Among them 61 patients with 71 polyps were found,with a detection rate of 0.51%.The SAs,larger than hyperplastic polyps obviously,were found in patients 39.44% with diameter (larger than 1 cm).The incidence of pedunculated polyps in SAs (26.76%) was higher than that in hyperplastic polyps(13.25%),but less than in adenomatous polyps (43.95%).The pit patterns of SAs, were typeⅢ pit pattern (41.67%) and type Ⅳ pit pattern (18.33%), this result was similar to adenomatous polyps.The incidences of moderate and severe dysplasia of SAs were higher than those of tubular adenomas but lower than villous adenomas.The canceration rate of SA was 2.82%.Conclusion The endoscopic appearances,these of pit patterns and histopathological features of SAs,were different from hyperplastic polyps essentially, but similar to neoplastic polyps with potential malignancy,which should be emphasized in clinical practice.
