Hence, appropriate indices are required as accurate brittleness evaluation criteria. We construct a seismic rock physics model for tight-oil sandstone reservoirs with vertical fractures. Because of the complexities in lithology and pore structure and the anisotropic characteristics of tight-oil sandstone reservoirs, the proposed model is based on the solid components, pore connectivity, pore type, and fractures to better describe the sandstone reservoir microstructure. Using the model, we analyze the brittleness sensitivity of the elastic parameters in an anisotropic medium and establish a new brittleness index. We show the applicability of the proposed brittleness index for tight-oil sandstone reservoirs by considering the brittleness sensitivity, the rock physics response characteristics, and cross-plots. Compared with conventional brittleness indexes, the new brittleness index has high brittleness sensitivity and it is the highest in oil-bearing brittle zones with relatively high porosity. The results also suggest that the new brittleness index is much more sensitive to elastic properties variations, and thus can presumably better predict the brittleness characteristics of sweet spots in tight-oil sandstone reservoirs.展开更多

Methods: From September 2015 to September 2016, 84 patients with craniocerebral injury admitted to our hospital were divided into observation group (n = 42) and control group (n = 42) according to randomized single blindness method. All patients were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The control group was given routine nursing care, while the observation group was treated by psychological nursing intervention. Results: The scores of GCS in the observation group after 2 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment were respectively (7.79±1.42), (11.86±2.56) which were higher than those in the control group (6.23±1.01), (8.21±1.65) the data show significant difference. After treatment, the scores of SDS and SAS in the observation group were respectively (39.14±1.21), (41.67±1.12) which were lower than those in the control group (45.56±2.50), (56.89±2.47) the data show significant difference. The BI index of the observation group was (43.29±4.63), which was higher than that of the control group (36.83±3.10), the scores of NFD was (23.12±1.01) in the observation group, which was lower than that in the control group (28.45±1.67), the data were statistically significant. Conclusion: Psychological care intervention in patients with craniocerebral injury treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy is helpful to improve the adverse psychological state and consciousness state, improve the ability of daily living activities and promote the recovery of neurological function. It can be actively promoted and applied in clinical practice.展开更多
