In the framework of ensemble, a partial least squares(PLS) regression ensemble algorithm in subspace(MIESPLS), which is the combination of bootstrap and variable selection based on mutual information(MI), was proposed. The key of the proposed algorithm is to introduce the diversity of member models by bootstrap re-sampling on the training set and the subsequent MI calculation. Each time, those variables whose MI are lower than a defined threshold are first eliminated;then, a member model can be trained on a smaller subspace of original spectral variables. Two kinds of model fusion strategies, i.e., simple average fusion(SAF) and weighted average fusion(WAF), were adopted and compared. By two experiments concerning quantitative application of near-infrared(NIR) spectroscopy, MISEPLS is confirmed to be superior to the full-spectrum PLS and MIPLS method, i.e., PLS combined with MI-induced variable selection. The proposed MISEPLS can produce a more accurate and robust calibration model, but without increasing the complexity.

Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) can improve the rate of loco-regional control for patients with gastric cancer (GC),while the selection of patients plays a key role.As the research moves along,several relatively comprehensive molecular classifications emerged such as the TCGA classification and the ACRG classification.Studies have demonstrated that molecular classifications are closely related to the clinicopathologic characteristics,prognosis and treatment response.However,there is not recognized molecular classification of GC presently.It is a great challenge for radiation oncologists to make use of the individual bioinformation and accurately select patients who would benefit from RT.Meanwhile,precision RT could also be achieved with the prediction of radiosensitivity,combination of RT with targeted therapy and the application of ctDNA within the field of RT.

To fill the urgent need of researches on the structure and function of proteins to obtain conformation information, we combined targeted molecular dynamics ( TMD) simulation with protein network methods to analyze conformation variations in the activation process of β2 adrenergic receptor. First, targeted MD was used to obtain the conformation resembles in the activation process, and then the protein network method was applied to identify the key residues and pathways in the activation process. The results indicate that the activa-tion process of β2 adrenergic receptor involves in the cooperation of all regions and the connector region of transmembrane helices is signaling hubs. In addition, the helix ends, including intracellular and extracellular loops, are the core areas. The pathway analysis reveals that there is more than one signaling pathway. All the pathways start from Ser204 of the ligand pocket and finally transmit to NPxxY or ICL2 region, which are depended on the different pathways. While the helix TMIII, TMV, TMVI are the important areas in all the pathways. The observations from the work provide valuable information at molecular level for unraveling the signal transduction mechanism associated with the activation process.

Objective To identify the level of functional immunity as measured by the ImmuKnow assay in Chinese stable liver transplant recipients and to correlate these values with the dose and the trough levels of immunosuppressant, and with other clinical parameters of these patients. Methods Functional immune response was assessed by the ImmuKnow assay in 46 blood samples taken from 46 stable liver transplant recipients from Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University Liver Transplantation Center. Results The average ATP value in these stable liver transplant recipients was 203±114 ng/ml (range: 38.47 ATP ng/ml to 524.06 ATP ng/ml) at 22± 15 month post liver transplantation. There was no correlation either between ImmuKnow ATP values and the tacrolimus trough levels, or between ImmuKnow ATP values and the liver function (P<0. 05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified WBC and CD3+, CD3+ CD4+ as independent predictors of ImmuKnow assay levels when age, gender and underlying diagnosis were taken into account (P<0. 05). Five patients who were detected to have active HCV infection had lower ImmuKnow ATP values (<61 ng/ml). Conclusions The Cylex ImmuKnow assay ATP values were lower in Chinese stable liver transplant recipients compared with American patients. Further investigation is required to determine the role of the ImmuKnow assay in tailoring immunosuppressant therapy in liver transplant recipients.
