Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been widely used in the study of clinical medicine, rehabilitation medicine, sports, etc., and its endpoints should be detected accurately before analyzing. However, endpoint detection is vulnerable to electrocardiogram (ECG) interference when the sEMG recorders are placed near the heart. In this paper, an endpoint-detection algorithm which is insensitive to ECG interference is proposed. In the algorithm, endpoints of sEMG are detected based on the short-time energy and short-time zero-crossing rates of sEMG. The thresholds of short-time energy and short-time zero-crossing rate are set according to the statistical difference of short-time zero-crossing rate between sEMG and ECG, and the statistical difference of short-time energy between sEMG and the background noise. Experiment results on the sEMG of rectus abdominis muscle demonstrate that the algorithm detects the endpoints of the sEMG with a high accuracy rate of 95.6%.
As one of the standard electrophysiological signals in the human body, the photoplethysmography contains detailed information about the blood microcirculation and has been commonly used in various medical scenarios, where the accurate detection of the pulse waveform and quantification of its morphological characteristics are essential steps. In this paper, a modular pulse wave preprocessing and analysis system is developed based on the principles of design patterns. The system designs each part of the preprocessing and analysis process as independent functional modules to be compatible and reusable. In addition, the detection process of the pulse waveform is improved, and a new waveform detection algorithm composed of screening-checking-deciding is proposed. It is verified that the algorithm has a practical design for each module, high accuracy of waveform recognition and high anti-interference capability. The modular pulse wave preprocessing and analysis software system developed in this paper can meet the individual preprocessing requirements for various pulse wave application studies under different platforms. The proposed novel algorithm with high accuracy also provides a new idea for the pulse wave analysis process.

ObjectiveTo study the value of revised trauma scores (RTS), major trauma outcome study (MTOS)-RTS scores and point of care test (POCT) in the early forecast of survival time in severe multiple trauma patients. MethodsMultiple trauma patients treated in the Emergency Department of our hospital between September and December 2015 were included in our study. We collected such data as the basic information on admission, physical signs (breath, blood pressure, state of consciousness) and POCT indexes, including pH value, hemoglobin, base excess, hematocrit value, lactic acid, sodium, anion gap, and blood glucose. We calculated each patient's RTS and MTOS-RTS scores. According to the 30-day prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and death group. Risk factors for survival time were screened by Cox regression risk model. ResultsSeventy-five multiple trauma patients were included in our study. Among them, there were 51 males and 24 females. Fourteen of them died. The multivariate analysis in the Cox regression risk model showed that the risk factors for the death of multiple trauma patients included MOTS-RTS score [RR=0.726, 95%CI (0.608, 0.867), P < 0.001) and POCT lactic acid level [RR=1.139, 95%CI (1.010, 1.324), P=0.037]. ConclusionMOTS-RTS combined with lactic acid level may be used in the early forecast of survival time in severe multiple trauma patients.

In addition, the key points to the construction of the discipline and key research realms of poisoning are emphasized, including focusing on the major types of poisoning, evaluating the effectiveness of gastrointestinal decontamination techniques, developing and applying extracorporeal elimination techniques, poison detection techniques, and developing toxic bio-identification techniques.
Objective To observe the effect of BMSCs on the cardiac function in diabetes mellitus (DM) rats through injecting BMSCs into the ventricular wall of the diabetic rats and investigate its mechanism. Methods BMSCs isolated from male SD rats (3-4 months old) were cultured in vitro, and the cells at passage 5 underwent DAPI label ing. Thirty clean grade SD inbred strain male rats weighing about 250 g were randomized into the normal control group (group A), the DM group (group B), and the cell transplantation group (group C). The rats in groups B and C received high fat forage for 4 weeks and the intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin to made the experimental model of type II DM. PBS and DAPI-labeledpassage 5 BMSCs (1 × 105/μL, 160 μL) were injected into the ventricular wall of the rats in groups B and C, respectively. After feeding those rats with high fat forage for another 8 weeks, the apoptosis of myocardial cells was detected by TUNEL, the cardiac function was evaluated with multi-channel physiology recorder, the myocardium APPL1 protein expression was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry test, and the NO content was detected by nitrate reductase method. Group C underwent all those tests 16 weeks after taking basic forage. Results In group A, the apoptosis rate was 6.14% ± 0.02%, the AAPL1 level was 2.79 ± 0.32, left ventricular -dP/dt (LV-dP/dt) was (613.27 ± 125.36) mm Hg/s (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), the left ventricular end-diastol ic pressure (LVEDP) was (10.06 ± 3.24) mm Hg, and the NO content was (91.54 ± 6.15) nmol/mL. In group B, the apoptosis rate was 45.71% ± 0.04%, the AAPL1 level 1.08 ± 0.24 decreased significantly when compared with group A, the LVdP/ dt was (437.58 ± 117.58) mm Hg/s, the LVEDP was (17.89 ± 2.35) mm Hg, and the NO content was (38.91±8.67) nmol/mL. In group C, the apoptosis rate was 27.43% ± 0.03%, the APPL1 expression level was 2.03 ± 0.22, the LV -dP/dt was (559.38 ± 97.37) mm Hg/ s, the LVEDP was (12.55 ± 2.87) mm Hg, and the NO content was (138.79 ± 7.23) nmol/ mL. For the above mentioned parameters, there was significant difference between group A and group B (P lt; 0.05), and between group B and group C (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion BMSCs transplantation can improve the cardiac function of diabetic rats. Its possible mechanismmay be related to the activation of APPL1 signaling pathway and the increase of NO content.

Methods 836 specimens with cylindruia were selected. All the specimens with Pro≥1+ were dectected by chemical dipstick or cylindruia by urine sediment analyzer. The cast were detected by urine sediment analyzer and microscope, and the results were compared. Results Of 836 specimens, 320 positive samples(38.28%) were found by UF-100 while 195 (23.33%) were found by microscope. False positive rate and false negative rate of UF100 were 26.52% and 23.08%. Compared the results of urine sediment analyzer with microscope, the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.01). Conclusions UF100 can detect urinary cast quickly, but there is a little high false negative rate. So we should consider urine sample whether to be detected by microscope compared with results of UF100 and chemical dipstick.
