In order to monitor the physiological condition of the human body in daily life, this study has designed a system of measuring physiological parameters based on cushion, which could detect heart rate and respiration rate when people are sitting. The system can continuously colect signal from cushion with a state of low pressure and without sticking any electrode on people’s bodies. The hardware part mainly includes the signal acquisition circuit of the sensor, microcomputer control module and Bluetooth wireless transmission module. For the two physiological signals have the characteristic of the large noise and low-frequency, we use the Butterworth low-pass filter to process the signal according to an optimized Matlab algorithm. The results show that this system can measure heart rate and respiration rate accurately. Thus, the real-time monitoring on body’s information can be implemented.

Objective To study the association of maternal calcium supplementation and dietary calcium intake with the preterm birth so that to provide scientific basis for effective intervention of preterm birth. Methods Normal pregnant women who were followed up all through to childbirth in Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child Care Hospital were selected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the associ-ation of calcium supplementation and intake with preterm birth. Results After confounding factors were adjus-ted, pregnant women who took calcium supplement for more than 3 months before and/or during pregnancy had the risk of preterm birth reduced by 14% which was dose-responding ( OR=0. 86, 95% CI=0. 77-0. 96, P<0. 05). Through stratifying by trimesters of pregnancy, it was found that calcium supplement in the third trimes-ter was a protective factor for preterm birth and especially significant in early and very early pregnancy ( OR=0. 75, 95% CI=0. 62-0. 92, P<0. 05). Through stratifying by dietary calcium intake, pregnant women who took dietary calcium more than 465. 55 mg/d had the risk of preterm birth significantly reduced which was shown by the reduction of preterm birth of different degrees, controlled preterm labor and spontaneous premature dilivery (OR=0. 66, 95% CI=0. 53-0. 82, P<0. 05). Conclusion Appropriate calcium supplementation or dietary calcium intake before and during pregnancy can reduce the risk of preterm birth, which is especially sig-nificant in late pregnancy.

Objective To select and evaluate the diluents for quantitative detection of HBV DNA of high loads sample,hope to find the most applicable diluents which could be used in clinical test.Methods The standard substance(2.00 × 109IU/ml)was 10 and 100 times diluted by different diluents,compare the result of test,and the bias was analysis taking negative quality control as standard diluents,negative serum,physiological saline,and distilled water as candidate diluents.Results When 10 times diluted,there was no statistically difference between the standard diluents and distilled water as diluents(t =2.04,P > 0.05),the bias were less than the TEa regulated by professional standard.When used negative serum and physiological saline as diluents,the results were higher than that of standard diluents (P < 0.05),and the ratio of the bias higher than the TEa was 16.67% and 20.00%.When 100 times diluted,the results of candidate diluents were higher than that of standard diluents.In this time,the result of distilled water diluted detection presented a good linear relationship with the result of standard diluted detection,the formula was Y =0.963X + 0.267 (Y =result of standard diluted detection,X =result of distilled water diluted detection).All the bias were less than the TEa,the sequence of bias sort by ascending counts were negative quality control,distilled water,physiological saline and negative serum.Conclusions The most applicable diluents were negative quality control and distilled water with 10 times dilution.When 100 times diluted was used,the most applicable diluents was negative quality control,then was distilled water,physiological saline and negative serum.If using the distilled water to dilute,we could corrected the result by the formula Y =0.963X + 0.267 to ensure the result to be more exactly.
