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 (

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.
