基于粗配准和混合互信息的医学图像配准算法

利用边缘检测算子和数学形态学方法提取医学图像轮廓,采用主轴矩法配准两幅图像的轮廓,使其达到粗略配准的目的。通常的互信息测度是基于香农熵的,因为香农熵对于局部极值具有很强吸引域,而某些参数下的雷尼熵可以消除局部极值,将两种测度分别用于精配过程中不同的搜索阶段。首先利用全局搜索算法,寻找基于雷尼熵的归一化互信息测度的全局最优初值,再通过局部优化算法对当前的最优解寻找基于香农熵的更精确的全局最优解。实验表明,这种配准算法是有效的。     

Fine Structure of A: Autonomic Nerve Fibers and Terminals in Human Myocardium; and B: Myocardial Changes in Congenital Heart Disease

In a histological and fine structural study of right atrial biopsy specimens from 31 patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD), aged 7 to 46 years, and 11 patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), aged 3 to 36 years, nerve fibers or endings were seen by electron microscopy in 11 specimens. There was concurrence of ordinary axons along with terminals bearing pale cholinergic or dark adrenergic synaptic vesicles. Smaller and denser cholinergic vesicles suggested proliferation followed by exhaustion of such nerve endings. The closest proximity of nerve terminal to muscle fiber was about 100 nm. In one RHD specimen a “specific terminal cell” was present between a nerve ending and muscle fiber; in another a possible neuromuscular contact was developing at the surface of a regenerating small muscle fiber with a few myofilaments. Unmyelinated axons amidst increased subendocardial and subepicardial collagen, with prominent fibroblasts and depleted muscle fibers, were seen more frequently in specimens of CHD. Loss of myofibrils and accumulation of mitochondria, with infrequent formation of lipofuscin bodies, characterized degenerating muscle fibers in CHD also, although to a lesser degree than in RHD (reported earlier, 1985). The myocardial blood vessels in CHD tended to have pale swollen endothelial cells and narrowed lumen. The most severely affected cases of CHD were those with (1) a very wide atrial septal defect (ASD), (2) ventricular septal defect (VSD) with vegetations near the defect, (3) 1 infundibular pulmonary stenosis, and (4) Fallot's tetralogy.     

Molecular cloning and complete nucleotide sequence of the genome of Japanese encephalitis virus Beijing-1 strain

The genomic RNA of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) Beijing-1 strain was reversely transcribed and the synthesized cDNA was molecularly cloned. Six continuous cDNA clones that cover the entire virus genome were established and sequenced to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of the JEV RNA. The precise genomic size was estimated as 10,965 bases long. With flanking 95 bases at the 5 and 583 bases at the 3 non-coding regions, one long open reading frame (ORF) was revealed encoding a virus polyprotein with 3,429 amino acid residues. Because of sequence homologies observed between JEV and other flaviviruses, the genome organization of JEV appears to be identical with other flaviviruses. Genetic variation detected among flavivirus genomes is consistent with the established serological relatedness between JEV and other members of flaviviruses. The secondary structure of the JEV genome is deduced and discussed concerning its involvement in genome replication.

Relationship Between Architecture and Adhesion in Polyurethane‐Based Copolymers, 2

Summary: This study describes the chain extension, with polycaprolactone diols, of polyurethane‐graft‐poly(butyl acrylate)s which were first prepared by the step growth polymerization of a mixture of diphenylmethane‐4,4′‐diisocyanate (MDI) and α,α′‐dihydroxyl‐poly(butyl acrylate)s. The success of the chain extension reaction was studied and confirmed by ¹H NMR, SEC and DSC analysis. The incorporation of polycaprolactone sequences in the polyurethane chains modified their specific adhesive properties, bringing cohesion to the material, as demonstrated by tack measurements.

The 49 K subunit of NADH: ubiquinone reductase (complex I) from Neurospora crassa mitochondria: primary structure of the gene and the protein

Summary The primary structure of the 49 K subunit of the respiratory chain NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) from Neurospora crassa was determined by sequencing cDNA, genomic DNA and the N-terminus of the mature protein. The sequence lengths correlate to a molecular mass of 54002 daltons for the preprotein and 49239 daltons for the mature protein. The presequence consists of 42 amino acids of typical composition for sequences which target nuclear-encoded proteins into mitochondria. The mature protein consists of 436 amino acids and shows 64% similarity to a 49 K subunit of bovine heart NADH:ubiquinone reductase and 33% to a predicted translation product of an open reading frame in the chloroplast DNAs of Marchantia polymorpha and Nicotiana tabacum. Evidence for an iron-sulfur cluster in the subunit is discussed.
