The purpose of using brain-computer interface (BCI) is to build a bridge between brain and computer for the disable persons, in order to help them to communicate with the outside world. Electroencephalography (EEG) has low signal to noise ratio (SNR), and there exist some problems in the traditional methods for the feature extraction of EEG, such as low classification accuracy, lack of spatial information and huge amounts of features. To solve these problems, we proposed a new method based on time domain, frequency domain and space domain. In this study, independent component analysis (ICA) and wavelet transform were used to extract the temporal, spectral and spatial features from the original EEG signals, and then the extracted features were classified with the method combined support vector machine (SVM) with genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed method displayed a better classification performance, and made the mean accuracy of the Graz datasets in the BCI Competitions of 2003 reach 96%. The classification results showed that the proposed method with the three domains could effectively overcome the drawbacks of the traditional methods based solely on time-frequency domain when the EEG signals were used to describe the characteristics of the brain electrical signals.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2009;34(1):67-71
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the accuracy of ultrasonic elastography(UE) with molybdenum X-ray photography(MX-rP) in their ability to differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions.
METHODS:
Eighty-three females with 101 lesions in the breast were prospectively studied. Pathologic outcome was used as the golden diagnosis criterion. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Youden index, positive and negative predictive values of UE for diagnosing breast diseases were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic value of UE.
RESULTS:
Sensitivity of UE was 87.06%, specificities, accuracy, and Youden index were 93.05%, 91.08%, and 83.30%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 94.36% and 80.10%. Those of MX-rP were 72.40%, 83.33%, 80.19%, 87.74%, 89.55%, and 63.52%, respectively. The positive and negative-likelihood ratio for UE was 12.41(95%CI, 5.90 to 26.88) and 0.14(95%CI, 0.06 to 0.30); and those for MX-rP, the values were 4.34(95%CI, 1.63 to 11.42) and 0.33(95%CI, 0.19 to 0.63), respectively. Area under ROC in ultrasonic elastography was 0.954(95%CI, 0.912 to 0.996).
CONCLUSION
UE has better diagnostic value than MX-rP in breast masses.

Objective: To study the effects of microRNA-1180-5p (miR-1180-5p) on malignant biological behaviors of prostate cancer VCAP and LNCaP cells and the possible mechanisms. Methods: dsControl (dsControl group) and miR-1180-5p (miR-1180-5p group) were constructed and then transfected into two prostate cancer cell lines VCAPand LNCaP. qPCR and Western blotting were used to analyze the changes in mRNA and protein expressions of CDKN1A, Cyclin D1 and CDK6 after transfection. Cell cycle distribution, proliferation activity, clone formation capacity, cell migration and invasion ability were detected by flow cytometry, MTT assay, colony culture assay and Transwell assay, respectively. Results: qPCR results showed that compared with dsControl, CDKN1A mRNA levels in VCAP and LNCaP cells transfected with miR-1180-5p were up-regulated significantly, while the mRNA expressions of Cyclin D1 and CDK6 were significantly down-regulated (all P<0.01). Western blotting result was consistent with that of qPCR. The percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase was increased after transfection of miR-1180-5p (P<0.05), but the proportion of cells in S phase and G2/M phase was decreased and the cell cycle was arrested at G0/G1 phase (P<0.05). The proliferation activity of the two prostate cancer cells was significantly lower than that of the dsControl group after miR-1180-5p transfection (P<0.05), and the number of colonies in the miR-1180-5p group was significantly lower than that in the dsControl group (P<0.01). In the meanwhile, the cell migration and invasion ability in miR-1180-5p group was decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-1180-5p can significantly activate CDKN1A gene expression in prostate cancer cells and further inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells.
