Anesthesia plays an essential role in clinical operations. Guiding anesthesia by EEG signals is one of the most promising methods at present and it has obtained good results. The analysis and process of the EEG signals in anesthesia can provide clean signal for further research. This paper used variance threshold method to remove the mutation fast and large interfering signals; and used notch filter to remove frequency interference, smoothing filter to remove baseline drift and Butterworth low-pass filter to remove high frequency noise at the same time. In addition to this, the translation invariant wavelet method to remove interference noise on the signals which was after the classical filter and retained non-stationary characteristics was used to evaluate parameter calculation. By comparing the calculated parameters from treated signal using this paper's methods and untreated signal and standard signal, the standard deviation and correlation has been improved, particularly the major parameters BetaR, which provides better signal for integration of multi-parameter to evaluate depth of anesthesia index for the latter.

Objective To explore the association between complement C3 and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Methods A total of 2 799 health check-up participants were recruited from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital-Health Management Centre. Serum C3 levels were measured using immunoturbidimetry method and simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis were diagnosed by liver ultrasonography and serum alanine aminotransferase concentration. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between quartiles of serum C3 levels and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results After adjusting for covariates, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for increasing quartiles of C3 were: 1.00 (reference), 2.15 (1.55, 3.01), 3.28 (2.35, 4.6) and 4.31 (3.11, 6.02); and 1.00 (reference), 4.54 (1.68, 15.91), 7.81 (3.02, 26.67) and 14.91 (5.94, 50.14) (both P for trend<0.000 1), respectively. Conclusions The study found that the elevated C3 levels were significantly associated with the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Further study is needed to clarify whether C3 has a predictive value for the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To evaluate whether the serum uric acid (SUA) levels are related to development of prediabetes. Methods This was a 6-year cohort study, subjects were recruited from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital Health Management Center. A prospective assessment (n=30 910) was performed. Subjects without a history of prediabetes were followed up for 6 years (with a median follow-up of 2.7 person-years). All relevant variables including SUA concentrations, and fasting plasma glucose were assessed at baseline and yearly during the follow-up. Prediabetes was defined in accordance with the American Diabetes Association criteria of 2014. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were fitted to assess relationships between the quintiles of baseline SUA and the incidence of prediabetes. Results The incidence of prediabetes was 55 per 1 000 person-years. In comparison with subjects in the lowest quintile, the odds ratios and hazard ratio (95%confidence interval) of higher quintile of SUA were 1.04 (0.93, 1.15), 1.07 (0.95, 1.19), 1.13 (1.01, 1.28) and 1.15 (1.02, 1.30) (P for trend=0.01), respectively, after adjusting for potential confounders. Conclusion SUA levels predicted an increased risk of prediabetes in adults.

Objective To investigate the relationship between white blood cell count (WBC) and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease (SFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods We designed a large scale cross-sectional study in an adult population. Participants were selected from Tianjin Medical University's General Hospital-Health Management Centre. The diagnoses of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis were based on liver ultrasonography and serum alanine aminotransferase concentration. A total of 37507 subjects (8644 SFL and 2557 NASH) were included in this study. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess whether the quartiles of WBC were associated with the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for increasing quartiles of WBC were: simple fatty liver disease, 1.00 (reference), 1.37 (1.24, 1.50), 1.70 (1.55, 1.86) and 2.09 (1.90, 2.29) (P for trend<0.0001);nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, 1.00 (reference), 1.39 (1.16, 1.66), 1.69 (1.43, 1.99) and 2.13 (1.81, 2.50) (P for trend<0.0001). Conclusions This study proves the correlation between WBC and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Further study is needed to clarify whether WBC has a predictive value for the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To observe the changes and clinical significance of procalcitonin(PCT) level in children with bacterial pneumonia.Methods The levels of PCT,hs-CRP and WBC were detected in 31 pneumonia children pre and post antibiotic treatment,and the changes were observed.Results The PCT levels of the 31 patients were all increased before treatment.After cured,PCT level of 28 cases returned to normal.But in the 28 normal cases,WBC level increased in 10 cases(35.7％),and hs-CRP level elevated in 4 cases(14.3％).In the other 3 cases,the PCT levels decreased from 5.69ng/mL,1.25ng/mL and 0.83ng/mL at admission to 0.51ng/mL,0.55ng/mL and 0.52ng/mL,respectively.And in these 3 cases,there was one case with the levels of WBC and hs-CRP respectively ascended,in which WBC level descended from 13.1 × 109/L to 12.1 × 109/L and hs-CRP level reduced from 20.92mg/L to 7.38mg/L.Conclusion The sensitivity of the index PCT is the highest at the accurate time phase of bacterial pneumonia,which can guide the reasonable use of antibiotics.
