The change of gravity causes a series of physiological dysfunctions,such as redistribution of blood,destruction of skeleton,reduction of hemopoietic tissue and so on.Since the success of mission to the moon and construction of space station,the study on change of human physiological functions under microgravity has been underway.With the machine of microgravity developing maturely,associated researches have made big steps forward.However,intensive study on the changes of human hemostasis and thrombosis under the microgravity are still needed,especially in the area of high incidences of bleeding and thrombotic diseases.The result will help to prevent hemostasis and thrombosis on astronaut and promote the development of our national aerospace industry.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of iMliximab (IFX) in the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD).Methods From February 2009 to March 2013,the clinical data of 62 CD patients with IFX treatment were retrospectively analyzed.At week 14th after IFX injection and the end of follow-up of this study (March 2013) were two observation points.At week 14th after IFX injection (three times of IFX injection),C reactive protein (CRP) level,Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) score and clinical remission were investigated.At the end of follow-up,clinical remission,fistula closure,mucosal healing and side effects were inspected.Normal distribution data were expressed as 2±s,which were compared with t test.Non normal distribution data were expressed as M (QL-QU) and compared with Wilcoxon test.Results Four cases without complete three times of IFX injection and one case lost to follow-up were eliminated.And nine postoperation cases with IFX treatment to prevent recurrence after surgery were excluded.A total of 48 cases of CD in active period were enrolled in this study on efficacy.At week 14th,CRP level of 48 patients [1.9(0.5,5.4) mg/L]decreased compared with that before treatment [28.9(6.4,51.1) mg/L] (Z=-5.468,P＜0.01);CDAI score (87.0±35.8) also decreased compared with that before treatment (245.1±59.1) (t=18.579,P＜0.01).At week 14th,46 patients in active period achieved clinical remission and the remission rate was 95.8％.By the end of follow-up,38 patients were still in remission period and the remission rate was 79.2％.Among 26 patients with anal fistula before IFX treatment,seven cases (26.9％) were completely closed,17 cases (65.4％) was partially closed and two cases was responseless.Fifteen patients were reviewed by colonoscopic examination after more than six times of IFX treatment.The median of simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) was 3 (0,5)after treatment,which decreased compared with that before treatment (8(7,9),Z=-3.306,P=0.001).Twenty-two of 48 cases in active period received,step-up strategy and 26 cases received with top-down strategy.At week 14th,20 cases (90.9％) of group with step-up strategy and 26 cases (100.0％) of group with top-down strategy were in remission period.By the end of follow-up,14 cases (63.6％) of group with step-up strategy and 24 cases (92.3％) of group with top down strategy maintained remission.Among 26 cases with anal fistula,two cases without response were treated with step-up strategy and seven cases with complete closure were all with top-down strategy.Among 62 patients,five had side effects,three of whom had acute infusion reaction,one had delayed infusion reaction and the other had anemia.Conclusions IFX had good clinical efficacy in controlling inflammation,inducing clinical remission,promoting fistula closure and mucosal healing in CD patients.For some CD patients with high risk,the initial top-down strategy showed good clinical efficacy.

Objective To compare the effects of different prone and supine position duration within 24-hour period on mini-pig acute lung injury (ALI)models. Methods Fifteen female mini-pigs,mean weight (30.2±3.2) kg, length (76.5±5.9) cm were anesthetized and ventilated. Hydrochloric acid (pH 1.0)was aspirated intratracheally to create ALI model. Mini-pigs were assigned randomly into three groups: p rone 8 h group, prone 8h then supine 16 h; 16 h group, prone 16 h then supine 8 h; 24 h group, prone 24 h continuously. Min-pigs were euthanasia at the end of the experiment to take out the lung, examine the tissue change and calculate the wet to dry weight ratio of lung (W/D). Sample was cut into slices and carried on hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain which was intended to calculate injury score by semi ration score criteria. Results W/D, and injury score were lower in 16 h group and 24 h group than the 8 h group,whereas no significant differences among the three groups. Conclusions Prone position for 16 hours or longer could decrease oxygenation by decreasing inflammation in acute lung injury(ALI)animal models.

Under the condition of microgravity, human body will experience a series of cardiovascular deconditioning. The vascular endothelial cells are the most important component of the vessel wall, so the changes of biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells are directly related to cardiovascular deconditioning. Therefore, it is important to prevent and treat the cardiovascular deconditioning in astronauts by studying the effect of microgravity on biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells.

Sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) is an important index in diagnosing sleep disorders and related diseases. Manual sleep staging is time-consuming and often influenced by subjective factors. Existing automatic sleep staging methods have high complexity and a low accuracy rate. A sleep staging method based on support vector machines (SVM) and feature selection using single channel EEG single is proposed in this paper. Thirty-eight features were extracted from the single channel EEG signal. Then based on the feature selection method F-Score's definition, it was extended to multiclass with an added eliminate factor in order to find proper features, which were used as SVM classifier inputs. The eliminate factor was adopted to reduce the negative interaction of features to the result. Research on the F-Score with an added eliminate factor was further accomplished with the data from a standard open source database and the results were compared with none feature selection and standard F-Score feature selection. The results showed that the present method could effectively improve the sleep staging accuracy and reduce the computation time.
