2.Frequency detection of the first heart sound based on wavelet transformation.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2003;20(3):491-493
According to the valvular theory, the vibrations affected by the mitral and tricuspid valves closure in early systole produce the first heart sound (S1). S1 usually includes many frequency components. In this paper, a method using the multi-resolution analysis of wavelet transformation is recommended for detecting the frequency range of S1. First, S1 was decomposed into different levels on frequency. Then the normalized Shannon energy of the different levels was calculated. The level containing the maximum energy is the major components' level of S1. The frequency range of this level is the major frequency range of S1. The frequency range of S1 was successfully detected by the method.

Objective To explore the correlations between trustworthiness leadership of head nurses and work immersion. Method A questionnaire on trustworthiness leadership of head nurse and the nurses′ work immersion scale were used to have investigation among 460 nurses. Results The total score on trustworthiness leadership was (105.04 ± 13.78), which was in the middle level and the total score on work immersion was (41.28 ± 10.08), which was at a higher level. The trustworthiness leadership was positively related to their work immersion as well as its dimensions (all P<0.05). Conclusion The administrators of the hospitals and nursing managers should pay attention to head nurse′s trustworthy leadership , for the purpose of improving the integrity of the leadership behavior of head nurses.

Diabetes is a common clinical disease, with glucose and lipid metabolism disorder as the main clinical manifestation. The spleen of middle jiao can transport and transform the essence of grain and water. It is also the source of qi and blood, which also provides material foundation for the glucose and lipid metabolism. The spleen deficiency and dampness stasis can lead to the phlegm and blood stagnation, which are closely related to high sugar, high fat, high blood coagulation and vascular endothelial damage. This article discussed the relationship between the changes of spleen function of middle jiao and glucose and lipid metabolism, and provided some theoretical methods for clinical prevention and treatment of diabetes.

In this work, a new method of heart sound signal preprocessing is presented. First, the heart sound signals are decomposed by using multilayer wavelet transform. And then double parameters as thresholds are used in processing each layer after decomposition for denoising. Next, reconstruction of heart sound signals could be done after processing last layer. Four methods, i.e. wavelet transform, Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), mathematical morphology, and normalized average Shannon energy, were used to extract the envelop of the heart sound signals respectively after reconstruction of heart sounds. All methods were improved in this study. We finally in our study chose 30 cases of raw heart sound signals, which were selected randomly from a database comed from The Clinical Medicine Institute of Montreal, and processed them by using the improved methods. The results were satisfactory. It showed that the extracted envelope with the original signal has a high degree of matching, whether it is a low frequency portion or high frequency portion. Most of all information of heart sound has been maintained in the envelope.

How to discover the valuable knowledge from the large amount of prescription data accumulated in the long-term medical practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the important contents of TCM modernization.Based on the prescription data of Xue' s clinical practice of many years,this paper explored the method of combining TCM network and prescription network to find out Xue' s common core drug combination.Based on 9,584 prescriptions in the Hospital Information System of Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,prescription network and drug network were constructed according to the similarity of prescription composition and drug co-occurrence relationship.Using the complex network analysis methods,such as community analysis method,to analyze the prescription and drug compatibility,the results were evaluated and analyzed by Xue and his successors.As a result,through complex network analysis,126 modular prescriptions and 4 TCM modules were obtained.One of the core components of the prescription module included Xiao Chai Hu decoction,Yin Qiao powder,and Sheng Jiang powder compound addition and subtraction.It was in consistent with the drug composition of exogenous febrile prescriptions excavated earlier.In conclusion,using the complex network methods,we can get some core drug combinations prescribed by Prof.Xue,and achieve the common compound core drug combination for treating diseases with certain vantages,laying a foundation for further inheriting and excavating Xue' s effective experience.

AIM: To investigate the effects of oridonin on the invasion and migration of hepatocelluar carcinoma cells.METHODS: Human hepatocelluar carcinoma MHCC-97H cells were cultured and treated with 5, 10 or 20 μmol/L oridonin.The migration ability was measured by wound healing assay.The invasion ability was examined by Transwell invasion assay.The adhesion capabilities were evaluated by adhesion assay.The protein levels of LIM kinase-1 (LIMK-1), cofilin and phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Oridonin inhibited the migration, invasion and adhesion abilities of MHCC-97H cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).After oridonin treatment, the expression of cofilin had no obvious change, but the protein levels of LIMK-1 and p-cofilin decreased significantly.CONCLUSION: Oridonin inhibits the invasion and migration of MHCC-97H cells.The mechanism may be related with the regulatory effect of oridonin on LIMK-1/cofilin signal transduction pathway.

ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic mechanisms of electro-acupuncture on chronic spinal cord injury in rats.MethodsA model of chronic spinal cord injury was made. After 60 days, the pressure installs were removed, and the animals were treated with electro-acupuncture. A quantitive analysis was carried out using Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan Locomotor Rating Scale (BBB scale). The expression of Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and its receptor TrkC were observed through immunohistochemistrical method and western blotting.ResultsAfter spinal cord injury, enhanced NT-3 and TrkC immunoreactivities were evident in neurons and glial cells. Furthermore, they were diminished in the electro-acupuncture group. Meanwhile, both evoked potentials and BBB scales were improved after EA treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionThe treatment of electro-acupuncture may promote behavioral function recovery of experimental animals, and NT-3 and TrkC may take part in the recovery.

Heart sounds are highly valuable to the clinical diagnoses of most cardiovascular diseases, so the analysis of phonocardiographic signals is helpful to diagnosing cardiovascular diseases clinically. Phonocardiographic signals are non-stable, so it is necessary to choose appropriate method in time-frequency analysis. The traditional method such as Fourier Transform is dissatisfactory. Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and Matching (MPM) Pursuit Method are both effective methods. They can be used to extract and cluster the characteristics of the signals. By analysis and comparison, the two methods showed the advantages over traditional methods. Additionally, their respective merits and demerits are indicated.

Objective:To observe the changes of glyeemia, urine protein, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic nephropathy rats and treating effects of Xiaokekang. Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ) was abdominally administered and was feeded by high lipid diet to establish diabetic nephropathy model in rats. Animals were divided into three groups: model group, Xiaokekang treatment group and normal group. Changes in glycemia, serum lipids, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen were measured at the 8th, 12th and 16th week after STZ injection. Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured at the 16th weeks after STZ injection. Results: Glycemia, serum lipids, serum creatinine were higher at the 8th, 12th and 16th week compared with normal group. Serum creatinine was higher at the 12th and 16th week, and glycosylated hemoglobin was also highter than that of the normal group. Xiaokekang reduced these changes. Conclusion: Xiaokekang can reduce glycemia, serum lipids and protect renal function.
