A double feedback current source for biologic impedance measurement is designed in order to solve the problem on the poor constant-current characteristic under higher frequency and meet the request for the ability to eliminate the direct current signal. The voltage controlled current source based on the second generation current conveyor theory is presented, which has good output impedance and anti-direct current characteristics by using the direct current feedback unit and input buffer. The closed loop control of current amplitude is implemented by means of the direct digital synthesizer and multiplication demodulation technique, which improves the constant-current characteristic of the current source.

Objective To analyze the preoperative related factors of early weaning of infants with congenital heart disease after operation. Methods From January ,2014 to January ,2017 in Pediatric Cardiology CICU , infants with congenital heart disease were selected as research objects. The clinical data were retrospectively collect ed and the relationship between preoperative influencing factors and postoperative early weaning were analyzed. Early weaning meant mechanical ventilation time was shorter than 24 h and late weaning meant longer than 24 h. Results Single factor analysis showed that early weaning success rate was related to preoperative cardiac function grade 1,NNIS grade 0~1,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension(average P<0.05). Non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative heart function grade 1 was an indepen-dent influencing factor,with OR value(95%CI)of 3.9(1.9~7.7). Conclusions In infants with congenital heart disease,preoperative heart function grade 1,NNIS grade 0 ~ 1 ,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension benefit early withdrawing of ventilator and preoperative cardiac function grade 1 is an inde-pendent factor for early weaning.

Objective To establish the proposals of clinic and rehabilitation pathway for spine and spinal cord injury. Methods The experiences in clinic and rehabilitation treatment fields, the flow path of admission and the costs of hospitalization for spine and spinal cord injury patients in Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center were retrospectively summarized and analyzed. Related data in International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core sets were also referred. Results The present proposals were applied to patients suffered from thoracic, lumbar or sacral spine injury with spinal cord injury. The proposals consisted of two parts: the surgical interventions in acute stage (within 2 weeks after injury) and clinic and rehabilitation treatments of spinal cord injury in sub acute and later stages (2 weeks to 6 months after injury). The criteria of surgical interventions in acute stage materialized the core therapies such as reconstruction of spine stability and neural decompression, etc. The criteria of treating spinal cord injury in subacute and later stages demonstrated the characteristic of combined therapy in which rehabilitation was the central element. Conclusion The establishment and implement of the present pathways were based on the time course of disease development and the staging feature of neural recovery and treatment after spinal cord injury. The purpose of this work is to improve the quality of medical service and reduce medical consumption.

Objective:
The objective was to identify the incidence of influenza-like syndromes and related health behavior factors among Beijing residents.
Methods:
From December 6, 2013 to January 16, 2014, we selected 150 villages or communities from 30 towns or streets as survey locations using a multi-stage random sampling method, and then conducted a cross-sectional study among 7 354 residents who aged 18 years or above and had live in Beijing for more than a half year using self-administered anonymous questionnaires, and totally 7 327 valid questionnaires are collected. The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, self-reported influenza-like syndromes in the past two weeks, and health behaviors. Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify the factors associated with self-reported influenza-like syndromes.
Results:
The mean (SD) age of the partcipants was 44.6 (15.2) years. Among them, 6.9% (506 cases) reported having influenza like illness during the past two weeks. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that regular physical exercise, optimal hand hygiene, and avoidance of going to the crowded places during respiratory infectious disease epidemics were significantly associated with a lower likelihood of reporting influenza-like syndromes, compared with those without regular physical exercises, without optimal hand hygiene, and not avoiding going to the crowded places, and the

Objective To investigate human exposure to live poultry (poultry feeding and purchasing) in the residents in Beijing and related factors during the second wave of avian influenza A (H7N9) epidemic during 2013-2014, and provide scientific evidence for avian influenza prevention and control. Methods A total of 7366 adults aged ≥18 years were selected through multi-stage stratified sampling in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors of human exposure to live poultry. Results The live poultry feeding rate and live poultry purchasing rate in residents in Beijing in the past year were 5.3%(95%CI:4.8%-5.8%) and 6.0% (95%CI: 5.5%-6.5%) respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that lower educational level of primary school and below, (OR=1.82, 95%CI:1.22-2.72);being farmer (OR=2.49, 95%CI:1.89-3.29) or being unemployed (OR=1.65, 95%CI:1.08-2.52);being non local resident (OR=1.54, 95%CI:1.10-2.16);living in suburban area (OR=2.36, 95%CI:1.77-3.16);having one child (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.42-2.17) or ≥2 children (OR=2.15, 95%CI: 1.43-3.22) in the family were the risk factors associated with feeding poultry compared with higher educational level of college and above, being employed, being local resident, living in urban area and having no child. And being farmer (OR=1.61, 95%CI:1.27-2.02);being non local resident (OR=1.76, 95%CI:1.31-2.35);living in suburban area (OR=2.05, 95%CI:1.61-2.61);having one child (OR=1.24, 95%CI:1.02-1.52) or ≥2 children (OR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.21-2.63) were the risk factors for purchasing live poultry. Conclusion Some residents living in Beijing still have exposure to live poultry, and targeted measures should be taken to reduce the exposure to poultry.
