ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#A method for dynamically collecting and processing ECG signals was designed to obtain classification information of abnormal ECG signals.@*METHODS@#Firstly, the ECG eigenvectors were acquired by real-time acquisition of ECG signals combined with discrete wavelet transform, and then the ECG fuzzy information entropy was calculated. Finally, the Euclidean distance was used to obtain the semantic distance of ECG signals, and the classification information of abnormal signals was obtained.@*RESULTS@#The device could effectively identify abnormal ECG signals on an embedded platform based on the Internet of Things, and improved the diagnosis accuracy of heart diseases.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The fuzzy diagnosis device of ECG signal could accurately classify the abnormal signal and output an online signal classification matrix with a high confidence interval.

Objective To compare the differences in the long-term survival rate and the tumor shrinkage rate of inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with percutaneous ablation therapy and simple TACE therapy in order to provide the basis for the clinical treatment of HCC.Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) for comparing the difference in survival rates between TACE plus PA and simple TACE for inoperable HCC were searched from medical literature database,from which the relevant data were extracted.According to Cochrane manual standard,the quality of inclusion literature was evaluated.Results A total of 15 RCT papers were included in this study,including 859 HCC patients.The results of meta-analysis showed that all the 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates in TACE plus PA group were better than those in simple TACE group (RR=1.454,95％CI=1.333and 1.586,Z=8.56,P＜0.001;RR=1.781,95％CI=1.511 and 2.099,Z=6.88,P＜0.001;RR=2.351,95％CI=1.808 and 3.059,Z=6.37,P＜0.001,respectively).The tumor shrinkage rate in TACE plus PA group was also better than that in simple TACE group (RR=1.314,95％CI=1.190 and 1.452,Z=5.38,P＜0.001).The sensitivity analysis indicated that the results of the differences in survival rate and tumor shrinkage rate between the two groups were reliable.Conclusion The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates as well as the tumor shrinkage rate of TACE plus PA group are higher than those of simple TACE group.
ABSTRACT
The education of postgraduate nursing is the highest level in nursing education system.Innovative capability cultivation is the core of postgraduate nursing education,as well as an important measurement index of education quality.How to reform and innovate teaching methods and foster highly specialized clinical talents based on their characteristics has been the focus of attention and exploration.This article aims to explore the methods of innovative talent cultivation of postgraduate nursing from the following several aspects about constructing innovative curriculum system,creating first-class tutor team,promoting scientific research ability,forming innovative postgraduate cultivation pattern and intensifying the scholarly communication.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the spatial distribution and growing trend of 438 human infection with the H7N9 avian influenza virus in mainland China,and to provide evidence for developing scientific prevention and control strategies.Methods 438 human infection with the avian influenza A (H7N9) cases from February 2013 to May 2014 in mainland China were studied and data collected to establish a database for the development of geographic information system.Trend surface analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis were used to study the spatial distribution.Descriptive epidemiological method was utilized to analyze the demographic characteristic.Results From June 2013 to May 2014,cases had an overall national increase,but significantly decreasing in Shanghai.A trend surface was established for human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) in the mainland of China,showing that the incidence was increasing obviously from north to south and the line slope declined from west to east.Distribution pattern of the cases varied within different time series and regional levels.The overall Moran' s I coefficient of the provincial level from February to May in 2013 and the coefficient of the city level from June 2013 to May 2014 were 0.144 718 and 0.117 468,respectively,with the differences statistically significant (P＜0.05).According to the analysis of the local autocorrelation and hot spot,northern Zhejiang and southern Guangdong showed high spatial clusters of human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) (Z＞2.58).Conclusion From February 2013 to May 2014,the spatial correlation at the provincial level decreased.However,the spatial correlation and the numbers of hot spots at the city level were both increasing.Effective measures should be taken accordingly,following the distributive characteristics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To construct an objective,comprehensive core competence evaluation index system for nursing postgraduates,and to provide evidence for postgraduates nursing education.Methods According to literature review,expert interviews,focus group discussions,Delphi and other research methods,we conducted two rounds of 32 experts consultation in 18 cities from 10 provinces to establish the final core competence evaluation index system.Results The two experts consultation derived core competence evaluation index system including 7 level-1 indexes,20 level-2 indexes and 53 entries.Level-1 indexes:theoretical knowledge and skills,critical thinking ability,research ability,clinical care ability,teaching skills,interpersonal communication skills,professional development skills.Conclusions This program is rigorous and reliable,with some theoretical and practical significance of its results,which provide a reference for the training program,evaluation of the quality,assessment of postgraduate nursing education.
