ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of endovascular stent angioplasty in treating symptomatic stenosis of middle cerebral artery.Methods Endovascular angioplasty with coronary stents was performed in 27 patients with symptomatic stenosis of middle cerebral artery.The clinical results were reviewed and analyzed.Results Of the total 27 patients,successful placement of the coronary stents Was achieved in 24.Angiography immediately after the procedure showed that the stenotic degree of the diseased artery was markedly decreased from preoperative (80±19)%to postoperative (8±4)%,the improvement was very obvious.Percutaneous transcatheter angioplasty had to be employed in two cases because of the failure of stent placement.A mean follow-up period of 18 months was carried out.During the following up period no transient cerebral ischemia attack occurred in 25 patients and no newly-developed cerebral infarction in region fed by the responsible vessels occurred either.Re=irrigation cerebral hemorrhage was seen in one patient,which occurred three hours after the placement of the stent.In one case the placed stent fell off and immigrated into the siphon of internal carotid artery,and the displaced stent Was took out later with a catching apparatus.In another case re-stenosis occurred six months after the stenting.Conclusion Percutaneous endovaacular stent angioplasty is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic stenosis of middle cerebral artery,although its long-term results need to be further evaluated.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of human excited electroencephalogram and the excited location in brain. The subjects were excited by taking a fixed quantity of caffeine. Electroencephalographic signals were collected using with 128 channels Phoenix Digital EEG and compared before and after the subjects drank coffee. The results showed obvious differences and compared with the ones before being excited electroencephalogram. After being excited we found that the lower frequency composition was restrained in the region below 10 Hz, the high frequency composition was increased significantly,and a wave crest of 38 Hz was produced in every acquisition point with the height around 200. Then the excited region was located in brain with the software of ASA 3 Course (designed by ANT company of Germany) and found that the excited location was focused on the area of the middle abdomen in the pons' side near bulbar when a person was exciting.

The difference between the Chinese and English character recognition process and the characteristics of Chinese character recognition process are investigated by analyzing the ERP difference between the matched and mismatched ending strokes of a single Chinese character. First, the P300 are observed in the mismatched ERP waveforms, which don't exist in the matched ERP waveforms (P<0.05). These phenomena demonstrate that the recognition of the pictograph Chinese characters are not only affected by the semanteme, but also closely related to its image of the figure. Secondly, the amplitude of the N400 in the mismatched ending strokes of Chinese character is obviously higher than that in the matched groups (P<0.05). The N400 is distributed in the other areas except the right side of temporal lobe and is higher in the left side. However, the amplitude of N400 in the waveforms has no obvious distinction between the cerebral hemispheres, where the amplitude of N400 are obtained by distracting the ERP of the mismatched individual Chinese character by the ERP of the matched group. These results show that the difference between cerebral hemispheres is attributed to the formal and phonic processing, not due to the semantic processing, which verify that the left and right cerebral hemisphere are both used in the Chinese character recognition, which is very different from the English character recognition, where the left side cerebral hemisphere is used with high percentage.
ABSTRACT
With the analyses of correlative techniques, such as ODBC and ASP, and the application characteristics of HIS, this paper develops an object-oriented design project and its application system.
