For the near-infrared (NIR) spectral analysis of the concentration of blood glucose, the calibration accuracy can be affected because of the existing of outlier samples. In this research, a Monte-Carlo cross validation (MCCV) method is constructed for eliminating outlier samples. The human blood plasma experiment in vitro and the human body experiment in vivo were introduced to evaluate the MCCV method for its application effect in NIR spectral analysis of blood glucose. And the uninformative sample elimination method based on modified uninformative variable elimination (MUVE-USE) was employed in this study for the comparison with MCCV. The results indicated that, like the MUVE-USE method, the outlier samples elimination method based on MCCV could be used to eliminate the outlier samples which came from gross errors (such as bad sample) or system errors (such as baseline drift). In addition, the outlier samples from the random errors of uncertain causes which affect model accuracy can be eliminated simultaneously by MCCV. The elimination of multiple outlier samples is beneficial to the improvement of prediction accuracy of calibration model.

Objective To establish a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)by blockage or obstruction of middle cerebral artery. NO precursor L-Arginine (L-ARG) and NO donator Nitroglycerine (NG)are administrated from intraearotid arteries. DWI and PWI are applied to evaluate blood circulation and brain damage of the effected region to elucidate the piotective function of L-ARG and NG in the early stage of brain ischemia. Methods The middle cerebral artery was occluded by insertion of a suture through the internal carotid artery of SD male rats to duplicate ischemia-reperfusion model. Reperfusion was established by suture withdrawal. After 2 hours of blockage, reperfusion and administrate L-ARG,NG by interventional therapy through the internal carotid artery simultaneously. Image indexes such as T1WI, T2WI, DWI and PWI are utilized to assess the changes in different time points. These indexes, Longa score and TTC stain were compared. Results There were obvious decrease in DWI high signal region and Trc pale region in drugs groups, compared with MCAO group(P＜0.01).ADC and rADC values in DWI high signal region increased gradually from 2 hours after ischemia to 24 hours after reperfusion in each group. ADC and rADC values in DWI high signal region of the drugs groups increased obviously(P＜0.01).Conclusion Interventional therapy with NO precursor/donator showed significant protective function in the early stage of brain ischemia.
