BACKGROUND: Gene microarray data has small sample size and large numbers of variates.Traditional statistical method is not effective.Genetic algorithm(GA)and support vector machine(SVM)are machine learning algorithms developed rapidly in recent years,which can decrease the dimension of features.OBJECTIVE: To combine GA and SVM to classify samples and compare with other two processes in which all genes and difference expression genes are taken as classifiers,respectively.METHODS: We applied golub data set provided by Bioconductor,which included gene expression data of leukaemia samples and normal samples.All genes were used to classify samples with SVM.SAM software was used to extract difference expression genes and estimate False Discovery Rate.Finally,76 difference expression genes were used as feature gene set to classify samples with SVM and GA-SVM respectively.Three classification effects were compared.Additionally,the distribution and function about feature genes in KEGG pathways were also discussed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The accuracy of classification of SVM was improved by decreasing dimension with genetic algorithm.In particular,this process eliminated a great deal of redundant genes and noises,which improves the classification performance.Results show that GA-SVM algorithm is effective in classifying samples.In addition,the pathway analysis shows that signal transmission and amino acid metabolism are two major functions of feature genes.

Objective:To investigate the preventive effect of nalmefene on sufentanil-induced cough in the patients with general anesthesia. Methods:Eighty patients with general anesthesia were randomly divided into the control group and the nalmefene group. The nalmefene group was intravenously given 0. 25μg·kg-1 hydrochloric acid natrium nalmefene 5 minutes before the induction, and physiological saline with the same capacity was given in the control group. Cough number and intensity in one minute after the injection of nalmefene were observed, and the changes of hemodynamic indices such as the blood pressure, heart rate and pulse oxygen satura-tion before the anesthesia induction (T0), 1min after sufentanil injection (T1) and after the intubation (T2) were observed and com-pared between the groups. Results:The incidence rate of cough was 37. 5% in the control group and 0% in the nalmefene group, and the incidence rate and strength of cough in nalmefene group were both lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The hemody-namic parameters at T1 showed notable changes when compared with those at T0 in the control group (P<0. 05), and had significant differences when compared with those in the nalmefene group (P<0. 05), and at T2, all the parameters recovered to the levels at T0. The parameters in the nalmefene group were much more steady than those in the control group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Pretreatment with hydrochloric acid natrium nalmefene can prevent sufentanil-induced cough response during the induction of anesthesia without weakening the inhibitory effect of sufentanil on intubation response.

· AIM: To study the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) receptor protein in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the level of bFGF receptor protein and image analysis was adopted to perform the relative quantitative analysis on it. · RESULTS: There was bFGF receptor protein in HLECs accordingl to both qualitative and quantitative analysis. · CONCLUSION: bFGF receptor protein exists in HLECs and it is the material foundation for bFGF to improve the proliferation of HLECs.

Objective To explore the experience in the treatment of postoperative reocclusion in patients of lower limb arterial occlusion.Methods From January 2007 to December 2011,clinical data were reviewed on 98 reocclusion episodes in 70 patients,who had been treated by graft bypass (30 patients),or angioplasty (15 patients) or both (25 patients).In this series,10 cases received conservative treatment and to the other 88 episodes reoperation was given,including thrombectomy alone in 15 episodes,and thrombectomy combined with microcatheter application for 13 episodes,and thrombectomy combined with angioplasty and microcatheter application for 60 episodes.Results Two patients died during follow-up period and 5 patients were lost to follow-up including 2 receiving conservative treatment.The other 63 patients were followed-up for 8 to 60 months,averaging (24 ± 5) months.The arterial patency in patients receiving reoperation treatment was 69.8％ (44 patients) and the amputation rate was 12.7％ (8 patients).Conclusions For postoperative recurrent arterial occlusion in patients of lower limb arterial occlusion,thrembectomy combined with angioplasty and microcatheter application may generate satisfactory results,

Objective To observe the effect of different doses of propofol injection and propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time infusion on plasma ketone body ratio,to eva-lute its effecton hepatic energy metabolism.Methods Forty patients,aged 18-50 years old,ASA Ⅰ orⅡ undergoing selective surgery were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 cases in each;propofol injection 4 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group L4 ),propofol injection 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group L6 ),propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection 4 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group M4 ),propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 maintain anesthesia (group M6 ).MAP,HR,SpO2 and PET CO2 were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0 ),after tracheal intubation (T1 ),after 2 hours infusion of propofol (T2 )and operation completed (T3 ).The blood samples were collected at T1 and T2 to detect the level of acetoacetate,β-hydroxybu-tyrate and to calculate the blood ketone body ratio (the ratio of acetoacetate andβ-hydroxybutyrate). Results MAP,HR,SpO2 ,PET CO2 at T0-T3 and acetoacetate,β-hydroxybutyrate,blood ketone body ratio at T1 ,T2 showed no significant statistic difference.Conclusion Different doses of propofol and different doses of propofol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time continuous in-fusion has no obvious effect on hepatic energy metabolism;same dose of propofol injection and propo-fol medium/long-chain fat emulsion injection in short time continuous infusion has no obvious effect on hepatic energy metabolism.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution form of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on removing smear layer of root canals at different exposure time periods and to provide scientific basis for EDTA as a choice of root canal irrigation in clinical practice. Twenty-five single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group (group A) was given 2.5% NaOCl, and 4 experimental groups were given 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, including groups B, C, D and E with exposure time of 1, 3, 5 and 7 min, respectively. After preparation of the root canals, the teeth were split along their longitudinal axis, and the root sections were examined under scanning electron microscope for evaluation of smear layer removal and erosion on the surface of the root canal walls. The specimens in group B showed presence of smear layer on the walls of the root canal with no statistical difference from that in group A (P>0.05). In groups C and D, partial removal of smear layer was obtained, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in removal of smear layer between group C and group B (P<0.05). Root canal walls in group E specimens showed almost complete removal of smear layer, and the removal of smear layer was significantly different from that in group D (P<0.01). There was no significant change in the structure of the surface of root canal for each sample. It was concluded that combined irrigation with 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCl could remove the smear layer with no significant alteration in dentinal structure when the chelating agent was applied for 7 min. At 3 and 5 min of application, partial removal of smear layer was observed and at 1 min negligible removal of smear layer was achieved.
