2.EEG feature extraction based on quantum particle swarm optimizer and independent component analysis.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;31(3):502-505
Feature extraction is a very crucial step in P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) and independent component analysis (ICA) is a suitable P300 feature extraction method. But at present the convergence performance of the general ICA iteration methods are not very satisfactory. In this paper, a method based on quantum particle swarm optimizer (QPSO) algorithm and ICA technique is put forward for P300 extraction. In this method, quantum computing is used to impel ICA iteration to globally converge faster. It achieved the purpose of extracting P300 rapidly and efficiently. The method was tested on two public datasets of BCI Competition II and III, and a simple linear classifier was employed to classify the extracted P300 features. The recognition accuracy reached 94.4% with 15 times averaged. The results showed that the proposed method could extract P300 rapidly and the extraction effect did not reduce. It provides an experimental basis for further study of real-time BCI system.

6.The expression of serummiR-151a-3p in patients with acute cerebral infarction and its correlation with pro-inflammatory factors
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2016;28(3):272-276
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum microRNA-151a-3p (miR-151a-3p) expression in peripheral blood of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI), and to analyze the correlation between miR-151a-3p and related inflammatory factors, in order to obtain new evidence and ideas in the diagnosis and treatment of ACI. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted. The clinical data of patients with ACI admitted to Department of Neurology of People's Hospital of Wuhan University from April to July in 2004 were enrolled. 114 ACI patients with first onset and duration of 2-14 days served as the research objects, and in the same period 58 healthy persons with matched age, and gender served as healthy control group. The risk factors of cerebral infarction in ACI patients and levels of serum miR-151a-3p, interleukins (IL-6, IL-8), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in all the subjects were completely recorded. The correlation between serum miR-151a-3p and the area and type of cerebral infarction, the causes of infarction as well as the inflammatory cytokines was analyzed. The correlation of 10-year survival rate of patients with different expression levels of miR-151a-3p in patients with ACI was analyzed. Results A total of 114 patients with ACI were enrolled, with 59 male, 55 female, and age ranged 48-63 years with a mean of (55.0±6.7) years. Large infarction was found in 25 cases, middle sized infarction in 26 cases, small infarction in 53 cases, and lacunar infarction in 10 cases. According to the modified Trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment (TOAST), the patients were classified as thrombotic cerebral infarction (AT) 92 cases, embolism (CE) from cardiac origin 10 cases, and small arterial occlusive cerebral infarction (SAD) 12 cases. After eliminating the influence of cerebral infarction risk factors on the expression level of miRNAs, and compared with that of healthy control group, the level of serum miR-151a-3p expression was significantly increased in ACI group (2-ΔΔCt: 2.28±1.85 vs. 1.27±0.98, P < 0.01); the levels of serum miR-151a-3p in large, middle, small, lacunar infarction groups were markedly up-regulated (2-ΔΔCt: 1.78±1.02, 1.92±1.11, 2.22±1.54, 2.61±1.82 vs. 1.27±0.98, all P < 0.05) with no significant difference among different infarction groups. The serum miR-151a-3p expression in AT and CE groups was significantly higher than that of the healthy control group (2-ΔΔCt: 2.01±1.45, 1.99±0.89 vs. 1.27±0.98, both P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found between SAD group and healthy control group (2-ΔΔCt: 1.72±0.30 vs. 1.27±0.98, P > 0.05). The levels of serum IL-6, IL-8, CRP and TNF-α in ACI group were all higher than those of healthy control group [IL-6 (ng/L): 45.21±14.33 vs. 39.70±13.15, IL-8 (μg/L): 29.12±14.92 vs. 22.50±10.12, CRP (mg/L): 6.61±3.02 vs. 5.40±2.75, TNF-α (ng/L): 65.20±16.14 vs. 55.70±14.35, all P < 0.05]. In addition, higher expression of serum pro-inflammatory mediators IL-6, IL-8, CRP and TNF-α were positively correlated with miR-151a-3p (R2 value were 0.092, 0.055, 0.034, 0.036, all P < 0.05). Ten-year survival rate was higher in patients with low expression of miR-151a-3p [with 1.27±1.98 as the boundary, 48.57% (17/35) vs. 34.18% (27/79), log-rank = 3.411, P = 0.045]. Conclusions Up-regulated serum miR-151a-3p may be involved in the pathophysiology of ACI. Therefore, miR-151a-3p may be used as a reference to predict the severity of neurological deficit in clinic.

10.The correlation study between the manifestation of MRI and pathology of early cerebral infarction after treatment with AQP4 mRNA silence
Journal of Practical Radiology 2015;(9):1539-1543
Objective This study investigated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)manifestations and pathological changes after aquaporin-4 (AQP4)gene silencing in treatment of early cerebral infarction.Methods Ninety adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into con-trol group,infarction group and treatment group.All the above groups were assigned to five sub-groups according to the time point:0.5,1,2,4 and 6 hours,respectively (n= 6 for each group).For the right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO-infarction group),the rats were separately injected with short hairpin RNA-AQP4 liposome (shRNA-AQP4+MCAO-control group)and in-terference agents (siRNA-AQP4 + MCAO-interference group).The rats in all groups were examined with T2 weighted image (T2 WI)and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).The rs-T2 WI,rs-DWI and relative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)of the big-gest high-signal-intensity layer on T2 WI and DWI were measured.Corresponding brain tissue was collected for pathological observa-tion.The data were analyzed using SPSS 13.0 software.Results Identical changes were detected between control and infarction groups.The high-signal intensity was found on DWI at 0.5 hour and on T2 WI at 2 hours after MCAO.rs-DWI and rs-T2 WI in-creased with time.The value of relative ADC decreased quickly within 2 hours after MCAO,and cytotoxic edema was significantly aggravated.The value of relative ADC increased slowly at 4 and 6 hours,but angioedema was detected during this period.There was significant change in relative ADC between the treatment and control groups at 0.5 to 4 hours (P < 0.01)and cytotoxic edema was significantly lightened.But there was no significant difference in relative ADC between treatment and control groups at 6 hours (P >0.05).However,angioedema was visible in this group at 6 hours.Above results confirmed that during early cerebral in-farction,the differential regions of DWI and T2 WI high-signal area were considered as cytotoxic edema,which was the pathologic basis of the decreased ADC values.AQP4 gene silencing could effectively reduce cytotoxic edema.Conclusion DWI and ADC value could reveal timely and exactly therapeutic outcomes of cytotoxic edema.The high-signal intensity on T2 WI represents angioedema, and AQP4 gene silencing has no obvious change.
