Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography for Early Diagnosis and Prognostic Prediction of Hypoxic Encephalopathy in Preterm Infants.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) in early diagnosis and prognosis of hypoxic encephalopathy (HE) in premature infants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six premature infants with HE who were treated in Linyi Central Hospital were enrolled into the study group, while 40 premature infants without HE were assigned into the control group. aEEG was conducted within 6 h after delivery to compare aEEG continuity, mature sleep-wake cycle, and maximum and minimum voltage in the 2 groups.

Biologically synthesized titanium oxide nanostructures combined with morphogenetic protein as wound healing agent in the femoral fracture after surgery.

The aim of the present study is to develop novel approach for the green synthesis of titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) using Eichhornia crassipes extract and calcined at different temperatures for evaluate the wound healing activity in the femoral fracture. The synthesized TiO are formed different (plate and rod-like) nanostructures at various calcination temperatures. These samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).
