应用数据挖掘技术获取周围型肺癌临床和CT诊断规则的初步研究

目的探讨数据挖掘技术对周围型肺癌影像诊断规则提取的价值。方法收集58例经过临床病理证实的周围型肺癌病例,对其临床及CT表现属性进行标准化认定,输入数据库,分别采用自主开发的基于关联规则知识发现程序与通用数据分析工具ROSETTA中的粗糙集约简算法和遗传分类算法对58例周围型肺癌临床及影像学数据进行挖掘对比研究。结果由Johnson’s Algorithm粗糙集约简算法产生诊断规则51条,由ROSETTA遗传分类算法所产生的诊断规则有5千多条,基于关联规则的挖掘算法所产生的诊断规则有123条。这3种不同的数据挖掘方法产生的最重要的诊断规则基本上都将性别、年龄、位置、毛刺、形状、毛玻璃样密度等属性作为诊断周围型肺癌的主要依据。结论数据挖掘技术在医学影像诊断和鉴别诊断中具有潜在的应用价值。     

Fine mapping of X-linked clasped thumb and mental retardation (MASA syndrome) in Xq28

The MASA syndrome is an X-linked disorder with mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, and adducted thumbs as the most characteristic features. We performed linkage analysis, using Xq28 markers, on a large MASA syndrome family. The maximum lodscore was 6.37 at 0 recombination for DXS52 and 5.99 at 0 recombination for DXS305. Crossovers were demonstrated between the disorder and DXS455. Clinical and linkage data from this family further support the hypothesis that the MASA syndrome and X-linked hydrocephalus are allelic disorders.     

生理信号检测中的同步工频陷波器

市电50Hz干扰一直是生理信号检测过程中最难以克服的问题之一。本文叙述了利用同步滤波器技术克服50Hz干扰的方法。同步滤波器可以自动跟踪市电频率的变化且具有极高Q值和理想的梳状滤波特性,而元件的灵敏度却很低,因而很容易获得40dB以上的陷波效果,可以从根本上克服50Hz干扰而几乎对有用信号毫无影响。     

Specific immunotherapeutic strategy for myasthenia gravis: targeted antigen-presenting cells

The pathogenesis of myasthenia gravis (MG) involves a T cell-dependent antibody-mediated autoimmune response directed against acetylcholine receptors (AChR). Inactivation of AChR-specific T cells should interrupt the immune response, resulting in therapeutic benefit. Since each individual's repertoire of T cells responds to a heterogeneous and unique spectrum of AChR epitopes presented in association with self-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, an individualized approach is required to target all relevant AChR-specific T cells. The individual's own antigen-presenting cells (APC) can be used for this purpose, since they process and present the antigen appropriately, and express the correct MHC class II. A novel method of binding AChR to surface immunoglobulin with a heterobifunctional antibody conjugate allows us to use all B cells as APC. Conjugate-plus-AChR-treated B cells (AChR-APC) effectively targeted AChR-specific T cells, stimulating vigorous proliferative responses in a rat cell culture system. If APCs are 'fixed' with cross-linking reagents, they induce long-lasting or permanent 'anergy' of the specific T cells. We prepared AChR-APC, allowed them to process AChR in vitro, and fixed them with paraformaldehyde. Pre-culture of these fixed AChR-APC with AChR-specific T cells induced anergy: when restimulated with fresh AChR-APC, the T cells exhibited markedly reduced proliferative responses and IL-2 production, compared with responses of T cells pre-cultured with control fixed B cells. Implications for the design of antigen-specific therapeutic strategies for MG and other immune disorders will be discussed.     

The use of 3D surface fitting for robust polyp detection and classification in CT colonography

In this paper we describe the development of a computationally efficient computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm based on the evaluation of the surface morphology that is employed for the detection of colonic polyps in computed tomography (CT) colonography. Initial polyp candidate voxels were detected using the surface normal intersection values. These candidate voxels were clustered using the normal direction, convexity test, region growing and Gaussian distribution. The local colonic surface was classified as polyp or fold using a feature normalized nearest neighborhood classifier. The main merit of this paper is the methodology applied to select the robust features derived from the colon surface that have a high discriminative power for polyp/fold classification. The devised polyp detection scheme entails a low computational overhead (typically takes 2.20 min per dataset) and shows 100% sensitivity for phantom polyps greater than 5 mm. It also shows 100% sensitivity for real polyps larger than 10 mm and 91.67% sensitivity for polyps between 5 to 10 mm with an average of 4.5 false positives per dataset. The experimental data indicates that the proposed CAD polyp detection scheme outperforms other techniques that identify the polyps using features that sample the colon surface curvature especially when applied to low-dose datasets.
