RESUMO
Objective To investigate the characteristic of theta oscillation in patients with frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) by the analysis of multi-channel electroencephalographs (EEGs) during rest state and working memory(WM) maintenance. Methods The 19 FLE patients and 17 healthy subjects underwent EEG recording with 34-channel EEG machine during visual working memory task performance. The differences of behavioral results were analyzed between FLE group and controls. Short-time Fourier transform was used to calculate the power spectral density of different frequency bands in 34 channels. The theta power values during the retention period of working memory and rest state were compared between two groups. Results Compared with controls, reaction time of FLE increased significantly (P<0.01) and accuracy decreased (P<0.05). The power spectral density of theta band for FLE increased both in Fz and frontal region during rest state (P<0.01). Compared with controls, the power spectral density of theta oscillation decreased significantly in the frontal region for FLE during WM maintenance. Conclusion Our results suggest that working memory in patients with FLE was impaired. The absence of theta oscillation during the WM delayde period may provide a possible neural mechanism for the working memory dysfunction in FLE.
RESUMO
Objective To study the feature of theta oscillation during working memory (WM) dysfunction in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Fifteen MCI patients (MCI group) and 15 healthy subjects for checkup (control group) in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January to November 2016 were recruited. The differences of behavioral results in visual WM tasks were compared between the two groups. Thirty four-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were recorded simultaneously. Short-Time Fourier transform was used to calculate spatial and time-frequency distribution of power and spectral coherence of multi-channel EEGs. Results Compared with control group, MCI group showed significantly longer reaction time and lower accuracy in WM tasks (P<0.01). The analysis of EEGs revealed that the power of Fz channel was the biggest at frontal midline in both groups. And the power density of theta oscillation was lower at frontal electrode sites in MCI group than that of control group ( P<0.01), and theta coherence was significantly decreased in frontal region and between frontal-posterior regions ( P<0.05). Conclusion The absence of theta oscillaton in frontal region may be one of the important reasons of working memory dysfunction for MCI.
RESUMO
Objective To seek a scalp venipuneture method with high success rate and less pain for patients. Methods Taking the rapid parallel straight method as the control group, and the rapid vertical straight method as the experimental group, 400 patients were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group with 200 patients in each group. The success rate of two groups were counted, pain scores were got by VAS visual imitation assessment and the results undergoing statistical analysis. Results The success rate was 91.5% in the control group, and 99.5% in the experimental group. Distinguished sig-nificance existed in VAS visual imitation score. Conclusions The rapid vertical straight method is supe-rior to rapid parallel straight method in scalp venipuncture.
RESUMO
Objective To develop novel disposable liquid filling device as well as its function and clinical value. Methods The experimental group adopted disposable liquid filling device,while the control group used injector simply.The result underwent comparison analysis,including time cost for liquid preparation,pollution of medical sollution by bacteria and particles and spattering of medical sol-lution. Results Disposable liquid filling device shortened time cost for liquid preparation,reduced pollution of medical sollution by bacteria and particles and prevented spattering of medical sellution. Condusions Disposable liquid filling device possesses many characteristics such as simple structure,low cost, easy operation,high efficiency,reduction of medical sollution pollution and prevention of spattering.It is worthy of clinical application.
