RESUMEN
The mechanical properties of a coal-rock body were examined through uniaxial compression tests, and the rupture process of the coal-rock body was monitored in real time using a combined acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system and a digital image correlation (DIC) full-field strain measurement system. From a comparison of the mechanical properties of coal and sandstone, clear differences are apparent regarding the uniaxial compressive strength, deformation characteristics, and damage mode; the brittle failure characteristics of the coal samples are also more evident. The change in AE energy reflects the accumulation and release of elastic energy during the rupture process, and the evolution of AE localization points under different stress levels can effectively reflect rupture propagation. Further, the DIC full-field strain measurement method can quantitatively monitor the evolution of the displacement and strain fields at the marking point and surface simultaneously, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional empirical and qualitative rupture processes. During monitoring, the AE focuses on the internal rupture of the specimen and the DIC focuses on the surface deformation. These complement each other and reflect the rupture process more comprehensively.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The present research was designed to study the effect of WeChat-based remote follow-up management on the burden of home care and anxiety on parents of children with refractory epilepsy. METHODS: 161 refractory epileptic children were included in this study. They were divided into control group and WeChat group according to their management protocols after discharge, namely, control group with traditional follow-up (n = 81) and WeChat group with remote follow-up based on WeChat (n = 81). We evaluated home care burden by family caregiver task Inventory (FCTI) scale and zarit burden interview (ZBI) scale, and evaluated negative emotion by self-rating anxiety Scale (SAS) scale and self-Rating depression scale (SDS) scale. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the demographic characteristics of epileptic children and their parents and the scores of FCTI, ZBI, SAS and SDS before treatment between the 2 groups (all P > .05), and the score of FCTI (20.86 ± 4.26), ZBI (39.63 ± 4.46), SAS (44.49 ± 4.15) and SDS (50.02 ± 4.13) in WeChat group were all significantly lower than the score of FCTI (25.25 ± 3.71), ZBI (45.47 ± 4.61), SAS (52.75 ± 4.93) and SDS (54.51 ± 6.59) in control group (all P < .05). CONCLUSION: WeChat-based remote follow-up management reduces the burden of home care and anxiety on parents of children with refractory epilepsy.
