Open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screw is one of the most widely used surgical methods in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures in the elderly. In recent years, more and more studies have shown that it is very important to strengthen the medial column support of the proximal humerus during the surgery. At present, orthopedists often use bone graft, bone cement, medial support screw and medial support plate to strengthen the support of the medial column of the proximal humerus when applying open reduction and internal fixation with plate and screw to treat proximal humeral fractures. Therefore, the methods of strengthening medial column support for proximal humerus fractures and their effects on maintaining fracture reduction, reducing postoperative complications and improving functional activities of shoulder joints after operation are reviewed in this paper. It aims to provide a certain reference for the individualized selection of medial support methods according to the fracture situation in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.

The subgroup analysis showed that the intervention effects at the time of four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, and 12 weeks were better than those of the control group. (2) The long-term effect of psychological intervention was more effective in decreasing depression score. The subgroup analyses showed that the intervention effects at the interval of eight weeks, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks were better than those of the control group. (3) The combined or single application of either cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy or supportive psychotherapy was more effective in decreasing depression score than the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the general psychological treatment group and the control group. (4) The subgroup analyses showed that the different qualities of the included studies were more effective than those of the control group. Conclusion Various psychological intervention is effective in decreasing the patient’s depression score, and cognitive-behavioral therapy and supportive psychotherapy, especially, can significantly improve the depression state and promote recovery.
Aiming at the status of muscle and joint damage caused on surgeons keeping surgical posture for a long time, this paper designs a medical multi-position auxiliary support exoskeleton with multi-joint mechanism by analyzing the surgical postures and conducting conformational studies on different joints respectively. Then by establishing a human-machine static model, this study obtains the joint torque and joint force before and after the human body wears the exoskeleton, and calibrates the strength of the exoskeleton with finite element analysis software. The results show that the maximum stress of the exoskeleton is less than the material strength requirements, the overall deformation is small, and the structural strength of the exoskeleton meets the use requirements. Finally, in this study, subjects were selected to participate in the plantar pressure test and biomechanical simulation with the man-machine static model, and the results were analyzed in terms of plantar pressure, joint torque and joint force, muscle force and overall muscle metabolism to assess the exoskeleton support performance. The results show that the exoskeleton has better support for the whole body and can reduce the musculoskeletal burden. The exoskeleton mechanism in this study better matches the actual working needs of surgeons and provides a new paradigm for the design of medical support exoskeleton mechanism.
Hypertension is the primary disease that endangers human health. A convenient and accurate blood pressure measurement method can help to prevent the hypertension. This paper proposed a continuous blood pressure measurement method based on facial video signal. Firstly, color distortion filtering and independent component analysis were used to extract the video pulse wave of the region of interest in the facial video signal, and the multi-dimensional feature extraction of the pulse wave was preformed based on the time-frequency domain and physiological principles; Secondly, an integrated feature selection method was designed to extract the universal optimal feature subset; After that, we compared the single person blood pressure measurement models established by Elman neural network based on particle swarm optimization, support vector machine (SVM) and deep belief network; Finally, we used SVM algorithm to build a general blood pressure prediction model, which was compared and evaluated with the real blood pressure value. The experimental results showed that the blood pressure measurement results based on facial video were in good agreement with the standard blood pressure values. Comparing the estimated blood pressure from the video with standard blood pressure value, the mean absolute error (MAE) of systolic blood pressure was 4.9 mm Hg with a standard deviation (STD) of 5.9 mm Hg, and the MAE of diastolic blood pressure was 4.6 mm Hg with a STD of 5.0 mm Hg, which met the AAMI standards. The non-contact blood pressure measurement method based on video stream proposed in this paper can be used for blood pressure measurement.
In order to improve the motion fluency and coordination of lower extremity exoskeleton robots and wearers, a pace recognition method of exoskeleton wearer is proposed base on inertial sensors. Firstly, the triaxial acceleration and triaxial angular velocity signals at the thigh and calf were collected by inertial sensors. Then the signal segment of 0.5 seconds before the current time was extracted by the time window method. And the Fourier transform coefficients in the frequency domain signal were used as eigenvalues. Then the support vector machine (SVM) and hidden Markov model (HMM) were combined as a classification model, which was trained and tested for pace recognition. Finally, the pace change rule and the human-machine interaction force were combined in this model and the current pace was predicted by the model. The experimental results showed that the pace intention of the lower extremity exoskeleton wearer could be effectively identified by the method proposed in this article. And the recognition rate of the seven pace patterns could reach 92.14%. It provides a new way for the smooth control of the exoskeleton.
ObjectiveTo predict the total hospitalization expenses of bronchopneumonia inpatients in a tertiay hospital of Sichuan Province through BP neural network and support vector machine models, and analyze the influencing factors.MethodsThe home page information of 749 cases of bronchopneumonia discharged from a tertiay hospital of Sichuan Province in 2017 was collected and compiled. The BP neural network model and the support vector machine model were simulated by SPSS 20.0 and Clementine softwares respectively to predict the total hospitalization expenses and analyze the influencing factors.ResultsThe accuracy rate of the BP neural network model in predicting the total hospitalization expenses was 81.2%, and the top three influencing factors and their importances were length of hospital stay (0.477), age (0.154), and discharge department (0.083). The accuracy rate of the support vector machine model in predicting the total hospitalization expenses was 93.4%, and the top three influencing factors and their importances were length of hospital stay (0.215), age (0.196), and marital status (0.172), but after stratified analysis by Mantel-Haenszel method, the correlation between marital status and total hospitalization expenses was not statistically significant (χ2=0.137, P=0.711).ConclusionsThe BP neural network model and the support vector machine model can be applied to predicting the total hospitalization expenses and analyzing the influencing factors of patients with bronchopneumonia. In this study, the prediction effect of the support vector machine is better than that of the BP neural network model. Length of hospital stay is an important influencing factor of total hospitalization expenses of bronchopneumonia patients, so shortening the length of hospital stay can significantly lighten the economic burden of these patients.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of support plates on Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures.MethodsPatients with Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures underwent support plates treatment between April 2013 and September 2014 by using the medial incision or posterior medial incision, if necessary, with other auxiliary incisions, with limited contact compression plate, 1/3 tubular plate or " T” plate to support the fracture. ResultsA total of 14 patients including 6 males and 8 females with an average age of (35.2±9.8) years (ranged from 20 to 52 years) were enrolled in this study and followed up for 12–25 months with an average of (16.3±4.0) months. The knee joints were flexed 80–130° with an average of (97.9±13.1)° one month after the surgery and 90–140° with an average of (119.3±12.1)° three months after the surgery. One year postoperatively, the mean Hospital of Special Surgery knee score ranged from 78 to 96 with an average of 88.4±4.9. Last follow-up assessment of knee function according to Rasmussen scoring system showed excellent in 8 cases, good in 4 cases, and fair in 2 cases; the excellent and good rate was 85.7%. No postoperative complications such as infection, nonunion, vascular nerve injury, or internal fixation failure occurred. ConclusionThe support plates for the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures can maintain good reduction, prevent the secondary collapse of the tibial plateau, ensure that knee joint has good alignment, less complications with vascular or nerve injuries, and finally get a satisfied function recovery.
When performing eye movement pattern classification for different tasks, support vector machines are greatly affected by parameters. To address this problem, we propose an algorithm based on the improved whale algorithm to optimize support vector machines to enhance the performance of eye movement data classification. According to the characteristics of eye movement data, this study first extracts 57 features related to fixation and saccade, then uses the ReliefF algorithm for feature selection. To address the problems of low convergence accuracy and easy falling into local minima of the whale algorithm, we introduce inertia weights to balance local search and global search to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm and also use the differential variation strategy to increase individual diversity to jump out of local optimum. In this paper, experiments are conducted on eight test functions, and the results show that the improved whale algorithm has the best convergence accuracy and convergence speed. Finally, this paper applies the optimized support vector machine model of the improved whale algorithm to the task of classifying eye movement data in autism, and the experimental results on the public dataset show that the accuracy of the eye movement data classification of this paper is greatly improved compared with that of the traditional support vector machine method. Compared with the standard whale algorithm and other optimization algorithms, the optimized model proposed in this paper has higher recognition accuracy and provides a new idea and method for eye movement pattern recognition. In the future, eye movement data can be obtained by combining it with eye trackers to assist in medical diagnosis.
Abstract： Objective To assess the effects of three different palliative procedures including modified BlalockTaussig (B-T) shunt, Waterston shunt, and reconstruction of right ventricularpulmonary artery (RV-PA) continuity for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 93 patients with PAVSD who had undergone palliative surgical procedures including modifie BT shunt, Waterston shunt, and RVPA econstruction in Fu Wai Hospital from September 1998 to September 2008. There were 53 males and 40 females, aged from 14.0 days to 14.4 years, with the body weight ranged from 3.6 to 33.0 kg (9.9±6.3 kg). According to International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project, these patients were categorized into 2 groups: 64 of type Ⅰ and 29 of type Ⅱ. The most common associated anomaly is rightsided aortic arch (except for ventricular septal defect). The application of the three kinds of palliative surgical procedures in staged management of PAVSD and the followup results were statistically analyzed. Results The corrective rate of the three palliative procedures were 28.12% (18/64) for modified BT shunt, 7.14%(1/14) for Waterston shunt, and 66.67% (10/15) for RV-PA reconstruction, respectively. RV-PA reconstruction had a significantly higher corrective 〖CM(1585mm〗rate than the other two surgical procedures (P=0.016). The percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) increased by 4%59% and Nakata index by 31-104 mm2/m2. No tortuous pulmonary artery was found under echocardiogram or angiocardiography after palliative operation. The perioperative mortality of both surgical stages was 10 patients. Twostage radical surgery was successfully performed for 25 patients, among whom 20 were followed up till May 2009. During the followup, one died suddenly, 15 were classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) Ⅰ, and 4 as NYHA Ⅱ. Conclusion The surgical management of PAVSD needs to be improved continuously. Compared with shunting procedures, the RVPA reconstruction is a better palliative operation method, and the modified B-T shunt is preferred in younger patients.
