Body-surface electrogastrogram signals can be adopted in studies of gastrodynamics characteristics and diagnoses of functional gastric diseases. Fundamental theory of denoise by wavelet introduced, wavelet transfer is applied to the denoise of body-surface electrogastrogram signals. The high-frequency noise is eliminated through wavelet, and thus the SNR and the resolution ratio of the signal are increased.

Objective To detect nucleos(t)ide-resistance mutations in hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) isolated from hepatocytes of patients with chronic HBV infection and to analyze the correlation between the mutations found in cccDNA and relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA). MethodsForty patients with chronic HBV infection were investigated. Preoperation serum samples and non-tumor liver tissues were collected.Intrahepatic HBV cccDNA and rcDNA were selectively extracted by co-precipitation of sodium dodecyl sulphate-protein and QIAamp DNA Mini Kit, and further purification with plasmid-safe ATP-dependent DNase (PSAD).Thereafter,cccDNA were amplified by selective polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or nested PCR using the primers spanning both the two gaps in HBV genome and covering the common mutations associated with nucleoside analogues resistance (rt169- rt250).Intrahepatic HBV rcDNA and pre-operation serum HBV rcDNA were also extracted and then amplified by PCR.The PCR products were then purified and sequenced.Results Among the 40 patients,intrahepatic HBV cccDNA were detected in 31 patients,and HBV rcDNA were detected in liver samples of 35 patients and pre-operation serum samples of 21 patients. The PCR products amplified from these samples were all successfully sequenced.rtM204Ⅰ mutation was detected in intracellular HBV cccDNA,rcDNA and serum HBV rcDNA in 2 patients.Both rtM204Ⅰ and rtQ215H were detected in intrahepatic HBV cccDNA and rcDNA in 2 patients,while no corresponding mutation was observed in serum HBV rcDNA of these two patients.Three variants including rtM204V,rtM204V and rtV173L-rtL180M-rtM204V were detected in serum HBV rcDNA in 3 patients,while corresponding mutants were not detected in intracellular HBV cccDNA or rcDNA of these patients.Condsions The results suggest that antiviral nucleos(t) ide resistance mutations can be found in HBV cccDNA in chronic hepatitis B patients. The dominant resistant mutation found in intrahepatic HBV cccDNA/rcDNA may be different from that in serum HBV rcDNA.

To reduce the risk of 3′-terminal mismatch between primers and template and increase the sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the detection of variable region of DNA. Methods: A pair of special primer(WU,WD) was designed to amplify a fragment of HBV DNA P gene by PCR. Other 2 similar pairs of primer (MU1, MD1, MU2, MD2) were obtained by knocking off 1 or 2 bases at the 3′-terminal of WU and WD. (1) Special primers (WU, WD) and degeneracy primers(WU, WD, MU1, MU2, MD1, MD2) were used to amplify 27 samples respectively by PCR under the same condition. The sensitivity of each PCR was compared. (2) Using degeneracy primers, serum HBV DNA was amplified from 4 patients who were resistant to lamivudine. The PCR products were sequenced to evaluate the effect of the 3′-terminal mismatch of primers upon PCR. Results: (1) The sensitivity of special primers and degeneracy primers were 70.4%(19/27) and 85.2%(23/27) respectively (P<0.05). (2) The sequencing analysis of the PCR products suggested that the 3′-terminal mismatch of primers caused false negative in the PCR detection. Conclusion: When amplifying the variable region of DNA, the false negative result can be avoided by using 3′-terminus shifted degeneracy primers.

How does brain select and adjust the distributed neural activities to achieve its function? To address this problem,researchers introduce Granger causality analysis method to brain functional study,which deals with the estimation of causal influences among multi-variables.First,basic principles of Granger Causality and its improved algorithm structural vector autoregression (SVAR) are introduced.Then several technical problems are reviewed which should be noted when analyzing brain functional signals by Granger Causality Methods.In the end,the application foreground of Granger Causality in epilepsy localization is introduced by taking idiopathic generalized epilepsy as the example.

Objective To establish a method for determination of imatinib mesylate liposome and related substances. Methods The liquid chromatography was carried out on a Kromasil C18 column. The mobile phase A consisted of methanol-octane sulfonate solution(42:58). The mobile phase B consisted of methanol-octane sulfonate solution(4:96). The flow rate of gradient elution was 1. 2 mL·min-1 . The detection wavelength was 268 nm. The column temperature was room temperature. Results The intermediates and degraded substances could be seperated under the selected chromatographic conditions. Imatinib mesylate showed a good linear relationship within 1-100μg·mL-1,r=0. 999 1(n=5). Conclusion The method is specific, accurate,sensitive,and simple,and can be used for quality control of imatinib mesylate liposome.

Immunoglobulins ( Ig ) , also called antibodies, are important components in humoral -mediated immunity. Ig can bind with their receptors, called immunoglobulin receptors ( IgR ) , trigger biologic activities respectively. Different sub-types of Igs show different function. And IgRs have been treated as therapeutic targets in inflammation and immunity related dis-eases for many years. This article reviewed the recent progresses in the study of IgR function and its therapeutic role in inflamma-tion and immunity related diseases.

It is necessary to build a three-dimensional human body model to display the position and track the route of a micro device inside the human body exactly. The key is to construct a three-dimensional human body model according to the patient characteristic. This paper gives a simple way to build the personal geometric model based on the OpenGL programming in the Visual Basic environment. It is proved that the method contributes to the realtime interactive operation to change the model character according to the individual parameter.
