Post-craniotomy intracranial pressure monitoring: a novel approach combining optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasonography and cervical-cerebral arterial ultrasound by Zunfeng Fu, Lin Peng, Laicai Guo, Naixia Hu, Yamin Zhu, Shouxin Tang, Hongliang Lou, Jiajun Zhang, Chongqiang Wang

“…The correlation coefficients for the relationships between ONSD, PI ratio, FVdMCA, and PI with ICPi were 0.62, 0.33, 0.32 and 0.21, respectively, each demonstrating statistical significance (p &lt; 0.05). Analysis of the ROC curves demonstrated that the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting elevated ICPi at thresholds of 15 mmHg, 20 mmHg, and 22 mmHg via combined ultrasonographic measurements of the PI ratio and ONSD was the largest, specifically 0.74 (95% CI: 0.65–0.82), 0.77 (95% CI: 0.69–0.85), and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70–0.86), respectively.ConclusionUltrasonographic measurements of ONSD, PI-ratio, MCAPI and MCAFVd demonstrate a moderate to low weak correlation with ICPi measurements. …”

METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE CRITICAL POINT OF ELASTIC⁃PLASTIC OF M⁃B MODEL by CAO HongJun, ZHU Min, WANG ShengAo, DENG LiChongYang, MA DeSheng

“…The determination of the elasto⁃plastic critical point is very important for the study of the rough surface contact problem.In order to solve the shortcomings of the existing M⁃B model elasto⁃plastic critical point determination method,the characterization value is unmeasurable and difficult to apply.Based on the basic model of fractal theory,the distribution function and probability distribution density of asperity truncated area were obtained by means of mathematical statistics.Combined with the ideal elastic and plastic contact models of Hertzian contact,the normal force model in the process of plane⁃plane contact with fractal characteristics was obtained.Based on the difference between the actual contact area and the cut⁃off area during plastic deformation,a correction factor was proposed,and a method for determining the elasto⁃plastic critical point with the critical normal force as the characterization quantity was finally obtained.The new method takes the normal force as the characterization quantity and needs to be obtained through calibration experiments,which is more operational and credible.…”
