基于扩展Infomax ICA的ERP少次提取方法研究

事件相关电位(event related potential,ERP)提取是脑电研究的重点之一,目前临床上主要通过相干平均的方法来获取.由于脑电的非平稳性,使其需要大量重复刺激才能获得,对于受试者极不方便,也不利于ERP的实时检测.本文以反映大脑稀少认知事件的相关电位P300为例,采用扩展Infomax(extended informationmaximization)独立分量分析(independent component analysis,ICA)算法,先滤除眼动、工频干扰,再重构脑电数据,最后经少次叠加即可得到与通常需多次相干平均结果相近的比较满意的P300波形.说明ICA算法在ERP的峰值和潜伏期模式识别上具有较为明显的效果,具有潜在的临床工程应用价值.     

慢性心功能不全时经主动脉移植干细胞的可行性研究

心肌梗死或/和慢性心功能不全时,心脏干细胞移植是一项颇有应用前景的新的治疗技术。但是,对于非缺血性心脏病所致的慢性心功能不全,目前所采用的移植路径有一定的局限性。本试验拟研究慢性心功能不全时,封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞是否可行。阿霉素所致的慢性心功能不全兔模型,采用双球囊封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部自体移植骨髓单核细胞,4周后评价心功能。在封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞时,无1例因移植手术死亡。双球囊充盈时造影显示,主动脉窦显影良好,大部分情况下,左、右冠状动脉可显影。骨髓单核细胞移植4周后,左室射血分数改善明显(P=0 .0 34)。所以,慢性心功能不全时,封堵主动脉窦上部经主动脉根部移植干细胞安全可行。

Intergeneration CAG expansion and contraction in a Chinese HD family.

The prevalence of juvenile-onset Huntington's disease (HD) is about ten times lower than adult HD. Here we report a Chinese HD family showing both intergeneration CAG expansion and contraction. The expansion resulted from a paternal transmission which leads to juvenile-onset HD for a 17-year-old Chinese boy (III-5). More interestingly, a contraction was noticed in a maternal transmission (III-3), which changed the CAG repeat from an expanded, disease-causing allele (48 repeats) to a normal or intermediate allele (34 repeats). Of note, the contraction resulted in a deletion of 14 CAG repeats, which is much larger than previously reported contractions. Our results are consistent with previous observations in Western Caucasians that juvenile-onset HD is more likely inherited through the male germline.

Abrupt temperature change triggers arthralgia in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is the most common form of arthritis in children and affects both quality of life and school attendance. Weather and temperature conditions are believed to affect joint pains; however, very few studies have investigated this issue. This study examined the association between joint pain in JRA patients and weather conditions. METHODS: The daily pain ratings of 52 patients previously diagnosed with JRA were recorded on visual analog scales over 4 months beginning January 1, 2004. These ratings were then compared with weather data to evaluate possible correlation between these two factors. RESULTS: Twenty nine patients kept daily records during the first 2 months. There was no positive correlation between weather parameters (such as temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure) and pain ratings. Interestingly, the pain rating significantly increased the day after the advent of a cold wave (sign test, p<0.01; Wilcoxon signed ranks test, p=0.001). The number of patients who experienced joint swelling was not related to weather conditions. Twenty one participants continued maintaining the diaries during the next 2 months. The patients reported higher pain levels in the first 2 months during the cold wave period than in the next 2 months when the cold wave period had ended (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: A dramatic weather change such as a sudden cold wave might influence the experience of joint pain.
