Objective To explore the correlation between the need for cognitive closure and the way of coping with the disease in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Methods 217 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were questionnaired by the Need for Cognitive Closure Scale and the Medical Coping Style Questionnaire (Chinese version). Results The total score of need for cognitive closure in separation and conversion disorder patients was (217.65 ± 31.23) points. The scores of face, yield and avoidance in the coping style were respectively (18.87±2.49) points,(13.21±1.53) points and (17.63±2.27) points. The score of face was significantly negatively correlated with the total score and all dimension scores of the need for cognitive closure(r=-0.421,-0.387,-0.405, P<0.05);the scores of yield and avoidance were positively correlated with the total score and all dimension scores of the need for cognitive closure (r=0.343-0.432, P<0.05). There were significant difference of the way of coping with the disease in the patients with different family income, payment method, course of disease (t=-3.080-3.490, P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed need for cognitive closure was influencing factor of way of coping with the disease in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Conclusions The level of need for cognitive closure is in the high level in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, and influencing the way of coping with the disease.

A kind of simple portable electronic pulsometer based on piezoelectric sensor is designed, which constituted with single-chip microcomputer AT89S51. The piezoelectric sensor is used to transform pulse beating into electrical signal. Because the signal is very weak, the regular pulse profile is only obtained after enlargement and reshaping. Three-operation-amplifier circuit is used to magnify the weak signal from sensor, and the one-order low-pass filter is used to reshape the signal to get rid of miscellaneous signals. After timing and counting by the single-chip microcomputer, the pulse number is directly shown on light-emitting diode tubes through decoding circuit. The norm time generation circuit, a single steady trigger consisted of 555 integrated circuit chip mainly, set the standard time. The single-chip microcomputer AT89S51 circuit control the enlargement and reshaping of the original signal and time trigger. This portable electronic pulsometer has many advantages, such as simple structure, steady and reliable working, direct number display, low error (

A kind of personal computer-based monitoring system with piezoelectric sensor for pulse signal is developed,which constitutes with single-chip microcomputer AT89S52 and personal computer. The integrated polyvinylidene difluoride piezoelectric pulse sensor is used to pick up the pulse signals of examined person and transfer to electric signal under processing. The weak signal from the sensor is enlarged through three-operation-amplifier circuit. The magnified pulse signal is converted digital pulse signal through ADC0809 chip and the pulse number can directly show on LED tubes through the coding circuit. At the same time the digitalized pulse signal is delivered to personal computer through serial communication interface of single-chip microcomputer AT89S52 and personal computer under RS-232-C serial communication interface protocol. The pulse signal is then shown,recorded,saved and processed through computer software. The single-chip microcomputer AT89S52 circuit controls the collection and enlargement of the original signal and communicated with personal computer. When the single-chip microcomputer part is not connected with computer under serial communication interface,it becomes an improved portable electronic pulsometer and can be taken conveniently and show pulse number.

An universal serial bus (USB)-based high-speed real-time pulse signal detecting system is developed. The hardware and application software of the system is presented. The integrated polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric pulse sensor is used to pick-up the pulse signals of examined person and turn to the electric signal under processing. Because the signal is very weak, only after passing through the enlargement can the regular pulse profile be allowed to be obtained. The in-phase amplifier circuit is used to magnify the weak signal from the sensor. The magnified pulse signal is converted digital pulse signal through system-on-chip single-chip microcomputer C8051F130. The digitalized pulse signal is delivered to personal computer under USB interface protocol. The pulse signal is then shown, recorded, saved and processed through computer software. This inspecting system for pulse signal has many advantages, such as its structure is simple, it works steadily and reliably, its low cost, high application value and it can also realize rapid collection and storage of pulse signal.

Science of Meridians and Acupoints of the new version has been obviously improved in terms of bookbinding and printing quality and the concrete textbook content as compared with the textbook of the old version. However, some questions had been discovered during actual usage in the past semester. The writer makes the discussion from 4 aspects, named content arrangement, content statement, content correction and phonetic notation of rare words. The writer puts forward his own opinions on a part of acupoints essentially and points out some mistakes in the textbook.

Objective To design a device for prevention of foot drop and explore the effects.Method A device was designed and made using elastic sock,elastic bandage and wools to prevent foot drops in 18 patients in bed for long term combined with motion functional deficit in lower limbs.Result None of the 18 patients contracted with foot drop,with limb function score of(66.11±9.89). There was statistical difference between discharge and admission(P<0.05).Conclusions The self-designed device is effective in the prevention of foot drop in the patients sleep in bed for long term combined with motion function deficits in lower limbs.It is easy and useful for the enhancement of the function of their limbs.

In recent years,it has been reported that the osteopontin attracts great attention for its roles in tumor growth and metastasis.In many tumors,osteopontin plays an important role in promoting tumor growth,metastasis and enhancing adhesion and migration abilities.In particular,in hepatocellular carcinoma,osteopontin has very satisfactory sensitivity and specificity in early diagnosis and is relatively effective on prognosis prediction.Suppression osteopontin expression will inhibit liver cancer growth and metastasis,indicating that the osteopontin stays a new target for liver cancer treatment and possesses intangible clinical potential.

Objective To investigate the incidence of postoperation constipation in patients who experienced thoracolumbar fractures screw fixation surgery.Methods A prospective cohort study was performed by investigating 99 cases who experienced thoracolumbar fractures screw fixation surgery.The patients were followed up for 1 month.The postoperative constipation relief situation was observed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw a plot of survival,Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis was adopted for single factor and multiple factors analysis and the prediction model of constipation relief after surgery was established.Results The trend of postoperative constipation relief of patients showed a trend of first increased and then decreased,the number of cases reached high peak on the second week,the constipation relief median time was (14.00±0.76) days.Cox multiple factors regression analysis showed that prediction function model of postoperative constipation relief was h(t)=[h0(t)]e(-0.826X1+0.353X2+0.381X3-1.404X4).Conclusions There was a high incidence of constipation in patients with thora-columbar fractures after surgery and it is difficult to relieve,clinical nurses should pay more attention to the influencing factors of postoperative constipation relief and help patients reestablish normal bowel movement as soon as possible.
