Objective:To explore efficacy of the rehabilitative strategy in hospitalized schizophrenics.Method:Sixty-four schizophrenic patients were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group.Both groups received the anti-psychotics therapy, but the teamwork education,medication management skills training module, symptom management skills training module were only given to the intervention group for ten weeks. And a one-year follow-up was carried out after their discharge from hospital. All subjects were evaluated with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Nurses` Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation-30 (NOSIE-30), Insight and the Attitude to Treatment Scale, Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS), Morning Side Scale. We also recorded the relapse rate, reemployment rate, and re-hospitalization rate. Result:The clinical outcome of the intervention group was significantly superior to the control group on overall improvement according to PANSS (31.17?3.13 vs 52.34?13.02,7.34?1.08 vs 12.36?4.28,7.76?2.13 vs 13.26?4.50,16.13?1.82 vs 32.17?9.82 ),increase of active factor score of NOSIE-30 (-18.3?3.2 vs 14.4?6.7),and the reduction of inactive factor score of NOSIE-30(9.4?6.2 vs -22.3?7.4).The relapse rate(9.4% vs 54.8%),re-hospitalization rate(3.2% vs 42%),reemployment rate(37.5% vs 9.6%)were also better in the intervention group.Conclusion:The effect of rehabilitative strategy for schizophrenic patients not only improves the symptom, but also their social function.

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) may have low signal to noise ratios. An adaptive wavelet thresholding technique was developed in this study to remove noise contamination from sEMG signals. Compared with convention- al wavelet thresholding methods, the adaptive approach can adjust thresholds based on different signal to noise ratios of the processed signal, thus effectively removing noise contamination and reducing distortion of the EMG signal. The advantage of the developed adaptive thresholding method was demonstrated using simulated and experimental sEMG recordings.
