Objective To find a useful index for real-time detecting of speech endpoint and improving the performance of speech processing under low SNR by analyzing fluctuation complexity of speech signals. Method The influence of state space partition method, window size and partition numbers on detecting performance was analyzed. The comparison experiments of speech signals corresponding to different SNR and noise type was designed using the measure of complexity behaviors based on the information gain.Result It was found that fluctuation complexity was more effective in detecting low-SNR speech than spectral entropy. Conclusion Fluctuation complexity is a valid feature to make speech/non-speech decision for the low SNR cases. The presented method can achieve robust performance and has a good real-time behavior.

Objective To explore independent risk factors of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) on severe craniocerebral injury patients, and propose nursing intervention measures to reduce occurrence of VAP. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 severe craniocerebral injury patients with VAP postoperatively from January 2013 to June 2015, and 80 severe craniocerebral injury patients underwent mechanical ventilation without VAP postoperatively at the same time were selected as the control group. Through literature review, questionnaire was designed to collect potential impact factors of VAP in both two groups, the single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were applied to explore the VAP independent risk factors, and nursing intervention countermeasures were proposed to improve VAP clinical prevention. Results VAP incidence rate of severe craniocerebral injury patients postoperatively was 23.0%(73/317) , from which 81 strains were detected, the first three strains of strain spectrum were Klebsiella pneumonia (21.0% ), Bauman Acinetobacter (17.3% ) and pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria (14.8% ). Single factor analysis showed there were significant differences on composition of two groups in age, preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, operation times, artificial airway type, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, daily airway humidification frequency, daily sputum suction frequency compound injury, daily oral care times (χ2=1.809-11.936, P < 0.01 or 0.05). Logistic regression models showed duration of mechanical ventilation (OR≥7d=3.013; OR≥14d=3.695), secondary surgery (OR =3.111) , preoperative GCS score (OR =2.989), daily airway humidification frequence (OR =2.280), age (OR=2.237) had remarkable influence on occurrence of postoperative VAP (P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions The incidence rate of VAP in severe craniocerebral injury patients is higher, age, mechanical ventilation duration, preoperative GCS score, airway humidification degree, second surgery are the independent risk factors of VAP.

Objective:To analyze the related substances in the domestic products of minoxidil and minoxidil gel for the purpose of standard improvement. Methods:An HPLC-Q-TOF-MS method was developed. The test was performed on a Thermo Scientific Accu-core C18 column (100 mm × 2. 1 mm, 2. 6 μm) with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (7:93) (containing 0. 1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0. 2 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 230 nm. The full scan and two stage scanning was employed for detection with ESI source positive ion mode. The mass scan range was m/z 50-500. Results:14 related substances were separated and detected under the established HPLC-Q-TOF-MS condition. The structures and resource of 8 related substances were analyzed preliminarily. Conclusion:The HPLC-Q-TOF-MS technology has been proved to be effective in separation and identification of the related substances in minoxidil and minoxidil gel. The results were useful for quality control.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis.Methods:The clinical data of 24 patients with systemic light chain amyloidosis who received daratumumab-based regimens in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment process of patients was summarized and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis and the adverse reactions were analyzed.Results:All 24 patients included 2 cases (8.33%) of Mayo 2004 stageⅠ, 2 cases (8.33%) of Mayo 2004 stage Ⅱ and 20 cases (83.33%) of Mayo 2004 stage Ⅲ. All patients were treated with daratumumab-based regimen, and 17 patients had evaluable efficacy. In the chemotherapy regimens, 15 patients received DVd (daratumumab + bortezomib + dexamethasone) regimen, 7 patients received DVCd (daratumumab + bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone) regimen, 1 patient received DRd (daratumumab + lenalidomide + dexamethasone) regimen, and 1 patient received DTd (daratumumab +thalidomide + dexamethasone) regimen. After 1 course of daratumumab-based regimens in 17 cases with evaluable efficacy, the strict complete remission (sCR) rate was 41.18% (7/17), the overall response rate (ORR) was 88.24% (15/17). Among 17 patients who received daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen as the first-line treatment, sCR rate of 11 cases with evaluable efficacy was 36.36% (4/11) after 1 course of treatment ORR was 90.90% (10/11). Among 5 relapsed/refractory patients, sCR rate of 4 cases with evaluable efficacy was 50.00% (2/4) after 1 course of treatment; ORR was 75.00% (3/4). Among 24 patients, renal involvement was found in 17 patients at the initial diagnosis. After 1 course of daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen, ORR of 7 cases with evaluable efficacy was 85.71% (6/7), among which 42.86% (3/7) patients with renal involvement had an assessed renal response of very good partial remission (VGPR) or above. At the initial diagnosis, 19 cases had cardiac involvement; ORR of 14 cases with evaluable efficacy was 85.71% (12/14), among which 42.86% (6/14) patients had cardiac response to VGPR or above. After daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen, the main adverse reactions were infusion-related adverse reactions, myelosuppression and infection, all of which were tolerated by the patients. The median follow-up time of 24 patients was 7.0 months (0.5- 16.5 months), the median progression-free survival time was 7.0 months (0.5-16.5 months) and the median overall survival time was 7.0 months (0.5-35.0 months).Conclusions:Daratumumab-based chemotherapy regimen has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis.
