The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is of great significance for the early risk classification of sudden cardiac death and the screening of family genetic diseases. This research proposed a HCM automatic detection method based on convolution neural network (CNN) model, using single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal as the research object. Firstly, the R-wave peak locations of single-lead ECG signal were determined, followed by the ECG signal segmentation and resample in units of heart beats, then a CNN model was built to automatically extract the deep features in the ECG signal and perform automatic classification and HCM detection. The experimental data is derived from 108 ECG records extracted from three public databases provided by PhysioNet, the database established in this research consists of 14,459 heartbeats, and each heartbeat contains 128 sampling points. The results revealed that the optimized CNN model could effectively detect HCM, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 95.98%, 98.03% and 95.79% respectively. In this research, the deep learning method was introduced for the analysis of single-lead ECG of HCM patients, which could not only overcome the technical limitations of conventional detection methods based on multi-lead ECG, but also has important application value for assisting doctor in fast and convenient large-scale HCM preliminary screening.

It is very important for epilepsy treatment to distinguish epileptic seizure and non-seizure. In this study, an automatic seizure detection algorithm based on dual density dual tree complex wavelet transform (DD-DT CWT) for intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) was proposed. The experimental data were collected from 15 719 competition data set up by the National Institutes of Health (NINDS) in Kaggle. The processed database consisted of 55 023 seizure epochs and 501 990 non-seizure epochs. Each epoch was 1 second long and contained 174 sampling points. Firstly, the signal was resampled. Then, DD-DT CWT was used for EEG signal processing. Four kinds of features include wavelet entropy, variance, energy and mean value were extracted from the signal. Finally, these features were sent to least squares-support vector machine (LS-SVM) for learning and classification. The appropriate decomposition level was selected by comparing the experimental results under different wavelet decomposition levels. The experimental results showed that the features selected in this paper were different between seizure and non-seizure. Among the eight patients, the average accuracy of three-level decomposition classification was 91.98%, the sensitivity was 90.15%, and the specificity was 93.81%. The work of this paper shows that our algorithm has excellent performance in the two classification of EEG signals of epileptic patients, and can detect the seizure period automatically and efficiently.

We aim to screen out the active components that may have therapeutic effect on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the severe and critical cases' prescriptions in the "Coronavirus Disease 2019 Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Ninth Edition)" issued by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China and explain its mechanism through the interactions with proteins. The ETCM database and SwissADME database were used to screen the active components contained in 25 traditional Chinese medicines in 3 prescriptions, and the PDB database was used to obtain the crystal structures of 4 proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Molecular docking was performed using Autodock Vina and molecular dynamics simulations were performed using GROMACS. Binding energy results showed that 44 active ingredients including xambioona, gancaonin L, cynaroside, and baicalin showed good binding affinity with multiple targets of SARS-CoV-2, while molecular dynamics simulations analysis showed that xambioona bound more tightly to the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 and exerted a potent inhibitory effect. Modern technical methods are used to study the active components of traditional Chinese medicine and show that xambioona is an effective inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of new anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs and their treatment methods.
