Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems identify brain signals through extracting features from them. In view of the limitations of the autoregressive model feature extraction method and the traditional principal component analysis to deal with the multichannel signals, this paper presents a multichannel feature extraction method that multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) model combined with the multiple-linear principal component analysis (MPCA), and used for magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals and electroencephalograph (EEG) signals recognition. Firstly, we calculated the MVAR model coefficient matrix of the MEG/EEG signals using this method, and then reduced the dimensions to a lower one, using MPCA. Finally, we recognized brain signals by Bayes Classifier. The key innovation we introduced in our investigation showed that we extended the traditional single-channel feature extraction method to the case of multi-channel one. We then carried out the experiments using the data groups of IV-III and IV - I. The experimental results proved that the method proposed in this paper was feasible.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of surgical treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 56 patients with HC who underwent resection at the Beijing YouAn Hospital,Capital Medical University,from January 2010 to July 2015.The patients were divided into two groups according to the types of operations:the minor hepatectomy group (n =12) and the major hepatectomy group (n =44).The postoperative complications,mortality and long-term survival rates were compared and the clinical data were analyzed using uni-and multivariate analyses to examine the significant factors of survival.Results (1) The morbidity rates of the two groups were 33.3％ and 63.6％,respectively,with the latter group being significantly higher than the former group;(2) The 1-and 3-year overall survival rates were 60％ and 15％ in the minor liver resection group and 64％ and 15％ in the major resection group,and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The median survival was 16 months;(3) The median survival of R0 resection was significantly longer than the R1/R2 resection group (22 months vs 10 months,P ＜0.05);(4) Age,preoperative CA19-9 level,vascular invasion,surgical margin,tumor differentiation and nodular metastasis were significantly correlated with prognosis on univariate analysis.Multivariate analysis showed surgical margin and tumor differentiation to be significant prognostic factors.Conclusions RO resection obviously prolonged survival of HC patients,and histopathology negative surgical margin should be emphasized.With R0 resection,minor liver resection significantly reduced postoperative complications and mortality in selected patients.

Endemic arsenicosis is a disease with complex systemic damage,but the mechanism and its control strategy are mostly focused on a single organ or system damage caused by arsenic,and the systemic damage of arsenic exposure remains not fully understood.In recent years,considerable progress has been made in the field of immunology,which made an important contribution for the pathogenic mechanism of various complex diseases,and also brings a new dawn for its prevention and treatment.In consequence,a breakthrough progress is expected to make in aspects of the mechanism and its control strategy of arsenic caused systemic damage from the perspective of immunology.

Objective To evaluate the early clinical outcome of one‐stage posterior approach operation for rigid scoliosis caused by lumbosacral hemivertebra in adolescencts .Methods Eighteen adolescencts with rigid scoliosis caused by lumbosacral hemivertebra were surgically treated by the posterior hemivertebral resection and long segment fixation .Hemivertebrae were sited in L5 (14 cases) ,S1 (4 cases) .There were 12 cases of full‐segmented hemivertebrae and 5 cases of semi‐segmented hemivertebrae and 1 case of wedge vertebral body ,10 patients had coronal trunk imbalance .Results The patients were successfully completed sur‐gery .The operation time was 4 .5-8 .5 h ,averaged 6 .3 h ;and the perioperative bleeding was 600-2 800 mL ,averaged 1 180 mL . 2 patient suffered from nerve root injury who received neuro nutrition drugs and Prednisolone after operation and recovered com ‐pletely after one weeks .All cases were follow ed up for 12-38 months ,averaged 21 .6 months .The coronal Cobb angles of lumbo‐sacral curve and proximal lumbar after one week of operations and at the time of the last follow‐up were much better than those be‐fore the operations ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Postoperative radiography demonstrated that no implant failure was observed .Coronal trunk shift was improved in 17 patients after surgery ,1 patient had coronal trunk decompensation . Conclusion The posterior surgery with hemivertebrae resection and long segment fixation is an effective procedure in the treatment of rigid scoliosis caused by lumbosacral hemivertebra in adolescencts .The reconstruction of the coronal plane is the key to the oper‐ation .

Novel targeted drugs and clinical trails have become the research highlights of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) recently. With further studies on immunotherapy in NHL, a number of novel immunotherapeutic targeted agents have been developed, some of which also had showed clinical benefit in early-stage study. The advances on novel immunotherapeutic targeted agents in NHL will be comprehensively reviewed in this paper from three aspects, including the targeted monoclonal antibody of cell surface antigen, the targeted therapy of cell signal transduction pathway and lymphoma microenvironment.

Objective]To investigate the application value of four-dimensional ultrasound with high definition flow(HD flow) in the observation of fetal pulmonary vein.[Methods]From June 2015 to June 2016,130 fetuses in our hospital underwent prenatal fetal echocardiography were included in this study. Color Doppler and high definition flow imaging were used to observe and count the number of pulmonary veins in the fetal four chamber view. In the condition of opening HD flow ,the 3D volume data was collected from the heart of the fetal four chamber view,and the 3D images of the fetal pulmonary vein were obtained by using the post processing software. Comparisons were made between the three methods for visualization numbers of the normal fetal pulmonary veins. For 5 cases of abnormal pulmonary venous drainage,STIC combined with HD flow technique was used to carry out three-dimensional reconstruction of pulmonary veins,to observe the abnormal drainage.[Results]The display rate of HD flow on fetal pulmonary veins was higher than that of color Doppler. For the 17~32 weeks fetal,four-dimensional ultrasound combined with HD flow could better observe the spatial location of pulmonary veins.[Conclusions]STIC combined with HD flow technology can display fetal pulmonary veins better in the second and early-third trimester of pregnancy ,and three-dimensional reconstruction of the image is more intuitive ,helpful to understand the spatial relationship.

It is reported that zymogen granule membrane glycoprotein 2 (GP2 )and CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1 (CUZD1 )are the major autoantigens of autoantibodies against exocrine pancreas (PAB).GP2 is mainly expressed in the pancreatic acinar cell and M cells in small intestine follicle-associated epithelium,and CUZD1 is mainly expressed in uterus,ovary and pancreatic acinar cell.PAB is a relatively specific antibody for Crohn's disease (CD).The article reviewed the progress in study on autoantigens of PAB in CD.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel s can be used to treat a variety of injuries, but little is known about their effect on systolic hypertension. OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on systolic hypertension rats. METHODS:Twenty-four rats were randomized equal y into control, model and cel transplantation groups. A rat model of systolic hypertension was made by injection of vitamin K and warfarin sodium in the model and cel transplantation groups. Rats in the cel transplantation group were given injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into the left ventricle, while those in the other two groups given normal saline. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s could reduce left ventricular mass index, increase cardiac tissue type I col agen volume fraction, col agen volume fraction and perivascular col agen volume fraction, but the ratio of end-diastolic volume/body weight did not change significantly. These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can reduce myocardial hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis in systolic hypertension rats.
