Objective To find a method for denoising of ECG signals during spaceflight.Method According to noise character of ECG during spaceflight,a new denoising method that combines wavelet transform and shape filter was put forward.Result By practical application and simulation test,it was proved that this method could eliminate efficiently noise from ECG during spaceflight.Conclusion The method that combines wavelet transform and shape filter can be used for ECG denoising during spaceflight.

To study the chemical constituents of Alchornea trewioides, silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20, reverse phase ODS column chromatography, MCI and semi-preparative HPLC were used to separate the 95% EtOH extract of the root of Alchornea trewioides. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies including ESI-TOF-MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC and HMBC. Eight phenolic acids were obtained and identified as 1-O-galloyl-6-O-vanilloyl-beta-glucose (1), gallic acid (2), ethyl gallate (3), syringic acid (4), glucosyringic acid (5), erigeside C (6), 3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl-(6'-O-alpha-L-rhamnosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7) and 3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenyl-(6'-O-galloyl)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8). Among them, compound 1 is a new compound, compounds 4-8 are isolated from the genus Alchornea for the first time, and the others are isolated from the plant for the first time.

Objective To evaluate ipsilateral hepatic blood flow exclusion in combination with liver hanging manoeuvre for hepatectomy. Methods From Jul 2007 to Feb 2008, 14 cases underwent hemihepatectomy under ipsilateral hepatic blood inflow and draining hepatic vein exclusion in combination with liver hanging manoeuvre for liver malignancier or ligating ligating vessels, portal vein branch and major hepatic vein to set up a tunnel at the interior vena cava. Results Small laceration on fight hepatic vein was encountered in 2 cases during the operation and managed by suturing. There was no intraoperative injury on inferior vena cava or short hepatic veins. Blood loss ranged from 100 ml to 600 ml with a mean of 280 ml. Postoperative pleural effusion was cured conservatively in 3 cases and paracentes was needed in one case. There was no severe postoperative hepatorenal dysfunction, biliary fistula, infection or other major complications. The operative mortality was nil. Conclusion For regular major hepatectomy, ipsilateral hepatic blood flow exclusion plus liver hanging manoeuvre has the advantage of less blood loss and protecting contralateral hemiliver from reporfusion injuries.

Objective To explore the application of hepatic artery ligation,portal vein and hepatic vein ligation for hemihepatectomy of the patients with liver neoplasms.Methods Hepatic artery,portal vein and hepatic vein were ligated.We isolated a gap between foreside of interior vena cava and the back of hepatic parenchymal to build tunnel,and then preseted blocker to block.Results A Total of 10 performed were completed and they recovered well after operation without any complications.Conclusion Selective hepatic blood inflow occlusion through ligating or preseting blocker for hemihepatectomies has many advantages such as reducing bleeding,avoiding damages to main vessels,keeping from injury of remnant liver reperfusion and preventing latrogenic tumbr disseminating.

0. 05). Conclusions Panipenem and betamipron are effective and safe drugs in the treatment of serious in-hospital infection in elderly patients.

Ammonium perchlorate (AP), mainly used as solid propellants, was reported to interfere with homeostasis via competitive inhibition of iodide uptake. However, detailed mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, AP was administered at 0, 130, 260 and 520 mg/kg every day to 24 male SD rats for 13 weeks. The concentrations of iodine in urine, serum thyroid hormones levels, total iodine, relative iodine and total protein, and malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity in thyroid tissues were measured, respectively. Our results showed that high-dose perchlorate induced a significant increase in urinary iodine and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), with a decrease of total iodine and relative iodine content. Meanwhile, free thyroxine (FT4) was decreased and CAT activity was remarkably increased. Particularly, the CAT activity was increased in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggested that CAT might be enhanced to promote the synthesis of iodine, resulting in elevated urinary iodine level. Furthermore, these findings suggested that iodine in the urine and CAT activity in the thyroid might be used as biomarkers for exposure to AP, associated with thyroid hormone indicators such as TSH, FT4.

OBJECTIVETo systematically review the clinical efficacy of acupuncture on the patients with low back pain (LBP).

METHODSRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) about pure acupuncture therapy versus other treatments in treating LBP were electronically searched in PubMed, CBM, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data from January 2004 to May 2014. The observed index on the results were the changed scores of VAS, ODI, JOA and RMDQ. Two reviewers independently screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality. The results of Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.2 software.

RESULTSTen RCTs involved 751 patients were finally included. The results of Meta-analysis indicated that the role of pure acupuncture group in improving the VAS score was better than that of the control group, and the combined effect size was RR = -.32, 95% CI (-1.41, -1.22); Z=27.28, P<0.00001; the role of pure acupuncture group in improving the ODI score was better than that of the control group, and the combined effect size was RR = -5.07, 95% CI (-7.50, -2.65); Z=4.10, P<0.0001; the role of pure acupuncture group on improved JOA score was better than that of the control group and the combined effect size was RR=2.83, 95% CI (2.02, 3.63), Z=6.90, P<0.00001. The role of pure acupuncture group in improving the RMDQ score was better than that of the control group, and the combined effect size was RR = -2.80, 95% CI (-3.49, -2.11), Z=7.95, P<0.00001.

CONCLUSIONThe result of meta-analysis demonstrates that pure acupuncture may have a favorable effect on self-reported pain and functional limitations in LBP patients.

Objective To compare the short-term quality of life after total gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer with three recontructive methods of stamoch storage function. Methods Totally 62 cases underwent jejunal interposition afar total gastrectomy from March 2000 to December 2007. Patients were divided into three groups according to the procedures: functional jejunal interposition (FJI-type) group ( n = 23 ), modified jejunal interposition ( Ⅲ -type) group ( n = 20), and P-type jejunal interposition (P-type) group (n = 19). In each group,the patients' general conditions, the nutritional status at month 3 and 12, and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated. Results The durations of procedures were significantly different among three groups (P ＜0. 01 ). The intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative complications, and food intake of each meal at month 3 were not significantly different ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Compared with the data at month 3, the levels of hemoglobin and serum calcium at month 12 were significantly higher in all three groups (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Compared to the level at month 3, the level of serum albumin at month 12 significantly increased in FJI-type group (P ＜ 0. 05 ) but showed not significant difference in Ⅲ-type group and P-type group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The incidence of reflux esophagitis in three groups and the comparative parameters among the three groups at month 12 were not significantly different ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions The jejunal interpositions after total gastrectomy will not increase the complexity and risk of the surgical procedure. In fact, they can reduce the reflux esophagitis and improve quality of life by keeping the storage function and restoring food passage through the duodenum. FJI-type is simpler than the other two types, and P-type is preferred for operations that need to open the pectoral cavity.
