A method which combines empirical mode decomposition with wavelet transform is employed to remove breathing baseline draft from pulse wave signal. First of all, this method decomposes pulse wave signal into several intrinsic mode functions and judges the intrinsic mode function which contains the information of breathing baseline draft. And then wavelet transform is used to decompose these intrinsic mode functions, and the detail coefficients representing breathing baseline draft are set into zero. At last, the signal is rebuilt. This can realize removing breathing baseline draft. A self-developed measurement device was used to obtain the pulse wave signal for validating, and AC-DC modulation ratio value was adopted to evaluate the effect. The results showed that this method could effectively remove breathing baseline draft from pulse wave signal.

Objective To explore the advantages and characteristics of pathology experimental teaching based on WeChat public platform. Method Through the establishment ofhomogeneous pathol-ogy experiment platform—WeChat public platform, the students of clinical medicine major of Class 1 and 2 of Grade 2014 who participated in the pathological experiment course were divided into two groups. The experimental group (65 people) used the auxiliary teaching based on the WeChat public platform, and the control group (65 people) used the traditional teaching method. The students in the experimental group used the WeChat public platform in combination with pathology experimental teaching, pushing the experimental teaching by WeChat public platform, including the change of specimen and eye diseases under the micro-scope of typical pictures and videos, and at the same time pushing the typical disease image and the related text introduction, and auxiliary pathology experimental teaching. The effect of teaching was evaluated by student experimental examination and electronic questionnaire. The data were collated after the entry of SPSS 19.0, and the data comparison was performed by t test. Result The average score of the experimental group (14.80±0.24) was significantly higher than that of the traditional teaching group (13.79±0.33), and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.031). The experimental group students' evaluation on the learning of WeChat based public platform was higher than the control group's evaluation on traditional teaching in the aspects of learning interest, reducing learning pressure and feedback. Conclusion The application of WeChat public platform for the teaching of pathological experiments is feasible compared with the traditional teaching model and can improve the teaching effect effectively, and solve the problems of the pathology experiment teaching sample being insufficient or the teaching sample being not typical, which creates conditions for students to study independently and use specimens and pictures.

OBJECTIVETo study and analyse the application of ELISA and nucleic acid test (NAT) to HBV detection of voluntary blood donors in Qingyang city and the characteristics and social attributes of HBV positive population.

METHODSThe HBV of 70 659 blood donors in Qingyang city from January 2013 to December 2016 was detected by using ELISA and NAT, and the statistical analysis of results was performed by means of Xdetection and FIsher' s Exact test.

RESULTSThe HBV positive rate detected by ELISA was 0.47% in 70 659 blood samples, and the HBV positive rate detected by NAT was 0.05% in 47 913 HBV negative samples detected by ELISA, moreover, the number of HBV negative by ELISA detection yet HBV positive by NAT detection increased year by year. The statistical analysis of positive population characteristics showed that the age distoibution was mainly between 26-45 years old, however the difference of detected rate between 26-45 years old and 18-25 years old gradually decreased on near 2 years, showing that the positive population tended to be younger. The distribution of blood type was B>O>A>AB, while the sex distribution was male> female, but this difference showed gradually nairowing trend due to increment of female voluntary donors with HBV positive; for marital status, HBV positive concentrated in married population. The regional distribution of HBV positive mainly concentrated in Xifeng region, mainly in jobless population; the HBV positive comparison betwwen anationalities showed Han natienatity was > minoring nationalitie.

CONCLUSIONThe application of ELISA combined with NAT for the HBV screaning of blood voluntary donors in Qiangyang city can prevent the detection failed and occult HBV, and reduce the potential risk of blood transfution. The characteristis analysis of HBV positive population provides practical basis for the safe use and transfution of blood.

OBJECTIVE: To deeply understand the epidemic status of hepatitis C virus (HCV) among blood donors in Qingyang City, and prevent the risk of transmission of HCV via blood. METHODS: To compare the application of nucleic acid and enzyme immunoassay adopted in HCV screening of volunteer blood donors in Qingyang City. The characteristics of positive population and the status of co-infection were studied. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2020, the positive rate of HCV detection among blood donors in Qingyang City was 3.2‰. Among the HCV positive co-infections, treponema pallidum (TP) accounted for the largest proportion, followed by alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and HBsAg. Blood donation was mainly based on individual voluntariness, and the main age group was 26-45 years old. The distribution of blood type showed that 31.08% for type B, 28.31% for type O, 27.38% for type A and 13.23% for type AB, the population of type AB was lower than that of type B and type O. The distribution of sex showed that male was more than female. The marital status was concentrated in married population. The regional distribution was concentrated in Xifeng District. Qingcheng County was higher than Huachi County and other places, while Ning County, Heshui County, Zhenyuan County and Huan County were close. The occupation was dominated by unemployed. Their nationalities were all Han. The overall awareness rate of HCV knowledge in young volunteers was 67.2%. CONCLUSION There are more HCV infected people with TP infection in voluntary blood donors, and the cognitive level of HCV knowledge in young volunteers needs to be improved.

In order to explore the application of the teaching mode based on WeChat official platform in the teaching of experimental pathology for international students, the students are required to browse the teaching objectives and the general pictures and microscopic pictures of experimental specimens on the public platform before the experimental class, and get in touch with the preliminary diagnosis of pathology at an early stage, contact with the preliminary diagnosis of pathology early, and consolidate and expand their knowledge after class by using the platform. The research shows that the mixed teaching mode based on the official platform can improve the diagnostic thinking of foreign students in pathology, deepen their understanding of pathology, increase the interaction between teachers and students and the supervision of teachers on students, and enhance their interest in learning.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of preoperative gastric cancer cachexia patients, with the focus on changes of abdominal fat distribution and serum inflammatory factors.Methods:128 gastric cancer patients admitted to General Surgery Department of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2018 to December 2018 were included. Relevant clinical information was collected, including age, gender, height, weight, hematological test results and blood lipid profiles (including free fatty acids ,FFA). Concurrent serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Areas of subcutaneous and visceral fat were both measured at umbilical level on CT. Data mentioned above were compared between gastric cancer patients with cachexia and pre-cachexia.Results:The 128 patients were divided into stable pre-cachexia group (97 patients) and cachexia group (31 patients). Compared with pre-cachexia group, patients in the cachexia group showed significant decline in BMIs (23.4±0.3 vs 21.9±0.6, t=2.359, P=0.019), apparent elevation in serum IL-6 levels [(3.73±0.32) ng/L vs(5.26±0.77) ng/L, t=2.214, P=0.036], significant decrease in lymphocyte counts [(1.67±0.05)×10 9/L vs (1.42±0.12)×10 9/L, t=2.251, P=0.026], as well as predominant decrease in total protein levels, [(64.9 ± 0.8) g/L vs (61.5±1.1) g/L, t=2.208, P=0.029], total cholesterol levels [(4.09±0.09) mmol/L vs (3.74±0.15) mmol/L, t=2.393, P=0.046] and pre-albumin levels [(0.22±0.01) g/L vs (0.19±0.01) g/L, t=1.987, P=0.049]. Additionally, there was a noticeable decrease in subcutaneous fat area [(151.6±8.73) cm 2vs (112.4±15.9) cm 2, t=2.192, P=0.042]. The other markers displayed no remarkable differences. Conclusion:Based on our investigation, it's highly suspected that IL-6 plays a more important role than TNF-α in the fat loss of gastric cancer cachexia patients, and these patients have increased lipid catabolism predominated by subcutaneous fat loss.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the auxiliary teaching mode based on WeChat Official Platform in pathology teaching.Methods:With the help of WeChat Official Platform, the "Pathology Experimental Course Platform of Qiqihar Medical University" (bilingual) was designed and formed. For the international students in the experimental group, teachers designed, developed and generated teaching resources in advance according to the requirements of pathology syllabus for international students and teaching contents, and post them on the platform. At the end of the term, they had pathology examination with the same difficulty as the control group, and their results were comparatively analyzed. Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey was designated to evaluate the teaching process and effects, to find out whether the platform work for the students to obtain more extracurricular knowledge and improve learning efficiency. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:Compared with the control group [(7.56±0.12) points and (53.20±0.70) points], the experimental group's scores of experimental assessment [(8.59±0.13) points] increased significantly ( P<0.05), and the scores of theoretical assessment [(56.23±0.60) points] also increased significantly ( P<0.05). Conclusion:With the help of the WeChat Official Platform, the auxiliary teaching mode breaks the limitation of time and space, enables foreign students to study and observe more actively, consolidates basic theoretical knowledge, strengthens the ability to observe disease lesions and clinical thinking ability, promotes international students' understanding of the relationship between pathological changes and clinical symptoms and signs, and improves their academic performances.

Objective To study the effect of dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SCH23390 on the behavior of parkinsonian (PD) rats and on electrophysiological characteristics of the entopeduncular nucleus (EP).Methods Intracranial injection of 6-OHDA was conducted in 23 adult male Wistar rats to create PD animal models (experimental group) while the same amount of normal saline was injected in another 19 rats as a control group.(1) After intraperitoneal injection of SCH23390 at various concentrations of 0.010,0.015,0.020,0.025 and 0.030 mg/kg,the step frequency and the discontinuous moving frequency tests were carried out to determine the optimal concentration and time of intervention at 6 time points (10 main before,and 5～15,20～30,30～40,40～50 and 68～78 min after intervention) when all the rats were put on a treadmill at a speed of 8 r/min.(2) After recording electrodes were implanted into the EP in the rats,the signals of spikes in the EP in still and movement conditions were recorded simultaneously using the 16-Channel OmniPlex Neural Data Acquisition System.The spike signals collected were imported into Offiine Sorter to do cluster-sorting analysis and then into NeuroExplorer to analyze alterations in the firing pattern and firing rate of each type of neuron.(3) Frozen sections of the brain samples harvested by perfusion from the rats in the 2 groups were subjected to Nissl's staining and histological assay.Results (1) The behavioral tests showed that intraperitoneal injection of SCH23390 at 0.020 mg/kg at time points of 20～30 min and 30～40 min was optimal.The step frequency for the experimental group (24.47±1.35 step/min) was significantly decreased compared with that for the control group (30.77±2.06 step/min) (t=7.392,P=0.000).(2) After intervention by SCH23390,in movement and still conditions,the firing rate and variation coefficient of EP neurons were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P＜0.05).(3) The Nissl's staining showed a small number of lightly stained neurons were sparsely disposed in the injured cerebral substantia nigra and the histological assay found altogether 14 rats from which correct EP sites were collected.Conclusions This study demonstrated a negative regulating effect of dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SCH23390 on the behavior of PD rats,which may be exerted by changing the electrophysiological activity of EP.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between self-perceived burden (SPB) and stigma in stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for the development of targeted nursing interventions in clinical practice.Methods:In September 2022, cluster sampling was used to select 1 126 stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS), and Chinese Version of Event Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) were used to investigate stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between SPB, rumination, and stigma. AMOS 28.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 126 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 026 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.12% (1 026/1 126). SPBS score of 1 026 stroke patients was (28.68±8.32), the SSS score was (40.53±9.48) and the C-ERRI score was (25.43±12.62). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SPB in stroke patients was positively correlated with stigma and rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination was positively correlated with stigma ( P<0.01). Bootstrap mediating effect test showed that rumination partially mediated the relationship between SPB and stigma in stroke patients, accounting for 55.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:SPB of stroke patients both directly affect stigma and indirectly affect stigma through rumination. Clinical nursing workers should promptly evaluate patients' SPB, pay attention to the mediating role of rumination, develop effective psychological intervention programs, implement personalized and targeted nursing measures, relieve patients' stigma, and improve treatment and rehabilitation compliance.
