The nano-structure TiN was modified on the laboratory self-made planar microelectrode array pMEA by magnetron sputtering method. The performance of modified pMEA was investigated. Research on neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording was studied in vitro. The impedance of the modified pMEA was decreased almost one order of magnitude, and the background noise level was reduced to ±6 μV. In the same testing environment, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of modified electrodes was 1. 7 times of bare electrodes. The SNR of neuroelectrical recording on the brain slice of SD rats reached 10:1 , and the weak signal such as ±12 μV was separated easily. For neuroelectrical recordings, the detection limit of dopamine ( DA) solution reached 50 nmol/L with the 2:1 (S/N). During the concentration range of 0. 05-100 μmol/L, the linearly correlation coefficient of the DA oxidation currents was 0 . 998 . The modification of nano-structure TiN on pMEA reduced pMEA impedance and background noise level, meanwhile the SNR was increased. The weak signals of neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording were successfully recorded.

Objective:The classification model of prognosis of elderly cancer patients in rural areas of Shaanxi province was constructed based on machine learning algorithm, and its effectiveness was verified, providing reference for early prognosis recognition and intervention treatment.Methods:Using a multicenter, cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method, 597 elderly cancer patients in rural areas hospitalized in 9 different medical institutions (Shaanxi Cancer Hospital and its member units of specialty alliance) in Shaanxi Province from July to August 2022 were selected as the research objects, and a variable database of "basic information", "self-care ability", "symptoms", "comprehensive needs" and "quality of life" of elderly cancer patients in rural areas was established. Machine learning and statistical analysis were carried out to explore the important prognostic characteristics of elderly cancer patients in rural areas, and a prognostic classification model for elderly cancer patients in rural areas was constructed and verified.Results:The 597 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected.Among the 597 elderly cancer patients in rural areas, 207 were males and 390 were females, aged (69.56 ± 8.84) years. The results of cluster exploration showed that the prognosis of elderly cancer patients in rural areas was divided into three categories: good, medium and poor. The areas under the working characteristic curves of the subjects in good, medium and poor were 0.84, 0.79 and 0.69, respectively. The results of characteristic exploration showed that 10 indicators of "whether accompanied by metastasis", "distress", "sadness", "numbness", "eating", "walking", "fatigue", "forgetfulness", "fun of life" and "relationship with others" were important characteristic indicators of prognosis evaluation of elderly cancer patients in rural areas. There were statistically significant differences among the 10 important characteristic indicators in the three categories of prognosis of rural elderly cancer patients ( χ2=21.07, H values were 18.51-144.38, all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the three categories of "comprehensive needs", "quality of life", "self-care ability" and "symptoms" ( H values were 519.40, 40.80, 103.69, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The construction and verification of a prognostic classification model for elderly cancer patients in rural areas based on machine learning algorithm can effectively explore the important characteristic indicators and prognostic classification of elderly cancer patients in rural areas, and provide basis and guidance for clinical medical staff to make individualized plans.
