Generally, P-wave is the wave of low-frequency and low-amplitude, and it could be affected by baseline drift, electromyography (EMG) interference and other noises easily. Not every heart beat contains the P-wave, and it is also a major problem to determine the P-wave exist or not in a heart beat. In order to solve the limitation of suiting the diverse morphological P-wave using wavelet-amplitude-transform algorithm and the limitation of selecting the pseudo-P-wave sample using the wavelet transform and neural network, we presented new P-wave detecting method based on wave-amplitude threshold and using the multi-feature as the input of neural networks. Firstly, we removed the noise of ECG through the wavelet transform, then determined the position of the candidate P-wave by calculating modulus maxima of the wavelet transform, and then determine the P-wave exist or not by wave-amplitude threshold method initially. Finally we determined whether the P-wave existed or not by the neural networks. The method is validated based on the QT database which is supplied with manual labels made by physicians. We compared the detection effect of ECG P-waves, which was obtained with the method developed in the study, with the algorithm of wavelet threshold value and the method based on "wavelet-amplitude-slope", and verified the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. The detected ECG signal, which is recorded in the hospital ECG division, was consistent with the doctor's labels. Furthermore, after detecting the 13 sets of ECG which were 15 min long, the detection rate for the correct P-wave is 99.911%.

In practice of forensic medicine, potential disease can be associated with fatal asphyxia in re-straint position. Research has demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are plentifully distributed in skeletal muscle, contributing to the regulation of contractile and relaxation. In the current study, respiratory functions, indices of diaphragmatic biomechanical functions ex vivo, as well as NO levels in serum, the expressions of diaphragmatic inducible NOS (iNOS) mRNA, and the effects of L-NNA on contractility of the diaphragm were observed in sepsis induced by cecal ligation and punc-ture (CLP) under the condition of restraint position. The results showed that in the CLP12-18 h rats, respiratory dysfunctions; indices of diaphragmatic biomechanical functions (Pt, +dT/dtmax, -dT/dtmax, CT, Po, force over the full range of the force-frequency relationship and fatigue resistance ) declined progressive-ly; the NO level in serum, and iNOS mRNA expression in the diaphragm increased progressively; force increased significantly at all stimulation frequencies after L-NNA pre-incubation. Restraint position 1 h in CLP12 h rats resulted in severe respiratory dysfunctions after relative stable respiratory functions, almost all the indices of diaphragmatic biomechanical functions declined further, whereas little change took place in NO level in serum and diaphragmatic iNOS mRNA expression; and the effects of L-NNA were lack of statistical significance compared with those of CLP12 h, but differed from CLP18 h group. These results suggest that restraint position and sepsis act together in a synergistic manner to aggravate the great reduction of diaphragmatic contractility via, at least in part, the negative modulation of NO, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of positional asphyxia.

Objective:
To examine the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and breast cancer using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, so as to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
Methods:
Data of 91 inflammatory cytokines (n=14 824) and 5 subtypes of breast cancer (n=247 173) were collected from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with 91 inflammatory factors were selected as instrumental variables. MR analyses were performed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method with inflammatory factors as exposure factors and breast cancer as outcome variables. The risk of type I error and the effect of multiple testing were reduced using the FDR correction method. The stability and reliability of the results were verified using Steiger test of directionality, MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO test and leave-one out method.
Results:
Twenty-three inflammatory factors, including β nerve growth factor, interleukin-5, cystatin D and C-X-C chemokine ligand 1 were statistically associated with breast cancer (all P<0.05). After FDR adjustment, only evaluated abundance of oncostatin-M was found to be statistically associated with an increased risk of Basal-like (triple-negative) breast cancer (OR=1.186, 95%CI: 1.081-1.302, P=0.001, q=0.029), and the other 22 inflammatory factors had a high risk of type I error (all q>0.1). The sensitivity analysis indicated that the results were robust. No instrumental variables were found to have a significant impact on the results, which could exclude the influence of heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, and reverse causality on the outcome.
Conclusion
The increased abundance of oncostatin-M may increase the risk of Basal-like (triple-negative) breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effect of catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor (COMTI) tolcapone on levodopa-treated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and on the motor function fluctuation, and safety taking this drug.Methods50 PD patients treated with levodopa were divided into the trial group and control group with 25 cases in each group. The patients in the trial group were given tolcapone 100 mg three times per day. The cases in the control group were given placebo with the same dose. The hepatic function of the patients was examined every month after administration. The time variety of patients' motor function fluctuation was recorded by the diary. The time of clinical observation was 6 months.ResultsThe UPDRS scores of the trial group in the first and second months after taking tolcapone were not significantly different from that of the control group ( P>0.05), but scores of the third to sixth months were significantly different from that of the control group ( P<0.05~0.01). There was a significant difference between UPDRS scores of the trial group before and after treatment ( P<0.01~0.001). The Honhe-Yahr scores of the trial group in the first and second months after treatment were not significantly different from that before treatment ( P>0.05), but scores of the third to sixth months were significantly different from that before treatment ( P<0.05). The motor function fluctuation of the patients in the trial group improved significantly after treatment ( P<0.05). The numbers of the cases had dry mouth, nausea and astriction were 3 respectively; those had acratia, insomnia and diarrhea were 2 respectively; those had muscular soreness, abdominal distention, hidrosis and fidget were 1 respectively. All adverse effects had a little influence to administration. The hepatic function of all patients had no significant change.ConclusionTolcapone can increase the curative effect of PD patients treated with levodopa and improve the motor function fluctuation, and is safety after taken.
