Objective To develop a real-time QRS complex detection algorithm of dynamic ECG signals for the GPRS mobile telemonitoring system. Methods Before the first and second derivatives of ambulatory ECG signals were processed by moving average method, the signals sampled from CM5 monitoring lead were filtered with the average of continuous four ECG sample signal points. The R waves could be detected precisely by local minima of second derivatives and Q & S waves were located correctly by cross-zero points of first derivatives of ambulatory ECG signals in a short-time searching windows. The QRS recognition thresholds, which could revise themselves according to the detected values and vary with the analyzing signals, were designed in this paper. Results With a polynomial computation complexity, the novel algorithm insensitive to baseline draft and noise caused by mobile communication filtered power-line interference and most of muscle noise and reduced the search time below 0.02 s during detecting each Q wave, R wave and S wave. For the normal and clinical patients, this algorithm correctly detected up to 99.8% of the QRS complex of ambulatory ECG signals. Conclusion The algorithm can meet the need of real-time QRS complex detection and analysis for the GRRS mobile ECG telemonitoring system.

The study investigated the effects of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) on the proliferation and apoptosis of a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (SMMC-7721 cells) in vitro. HSP70 oligonucleotide was transfected into SMMC-7721 cells by the mediation of Sofast transfection reagent. Inhibition rate of SMMC-7721 cells was determined by using MTT method. Apoptosis rate and cell cycle distribution were measured by flow cytometry. Immunocytochemistry staining was used to observe the expression of HSP70, Bcl-2 and Bax. The results showed that HSP70 ASODN at various concentrations could significantly inhibit the growth of SMMC-7721 cells, and the inhibition effect peaked 48 h after transfection with 400-nmol/L HSP70 ASODN. Cytometric analysis showed the apoptotic rate was increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner in the HSP70 ASODN-treated cells. The percentage of cells in the G(2)/M and S phases was significantly decreased and that in the G(0)/G(1) phase increased as the HSP70 ASODN concentration was elevated and the exposure time prolonged. Immunocytochemistry showed that treatment of SMMC-7721 cells with HSP70 ASODN resulted in decreased expressions of HSP70 and Bcl-2 proteins, and an increased expression of Bax protein. It was concluded that the HSP70 ASODN can inhibit the growth of the SMMC-7721 cells and increase cell apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of HSP70. HSP70 ASODN holds promise for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study was aimed to improve the sensitivity of magnetic induction phase shift detection system for cerebral hemorrhage. In the study, a cerebral hemorrhage model with 13 rabbits was established by injection of autologous blood and the cerebral hemorrhage was detected by utilizing magnetic induction phase shift spectroscopy (MIPSS) detection method under the feature band. Sixty five groups of phase shift spectroscopy data were obtained. According to the characteristics of cerebral hemorrhage phase shift spectroscopy under the feature hand, an effective method, B-F distribution, to diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage was designed. The results showed that using MIPSS detection method under feature band, the phase shift obviously growed with increase of injection volume of autologous blood, and the phase shift induced by a 3-mL injection reached -7.750 3 degrees ± 1.420 4 degrees. B-F distribution could effectively diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage. It can be concluded that the sensitivity of the cerebral hemorrhage magnetic induction detection system is improved by one order of magnitude with the MIPSS detection method under the feature band.

Objective To evaluate the safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of one-stage anterior transplantation with ili-ac crest allograft or autologous in the treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis. Methods From January 2012 to June 2015, 235 cases of thoracolumbar tuberculosis were treated with allogeneic or autologous iliac crest graft combined with internal fixation dur-ing one-stage after radical debridement, which were reviewed retrospectively. These cases were divided into two groups:allograft group (162 cases) and autograft group (73 cases). In allograft group, there were 87 males and 75 females, with a mean age of 42.5 (range 2-80) years. In autograft group, there were 41 males and 32 females, with a mean age of 40.3 (range 14-68) years. The oper-ation time, bleeding volume, hospital stay, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level, visual ana-logue scale (VAS) scores, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, the changes of American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale for neurological classification of spinal and graft fusion satisfaction rate in each groups were evaluated respectively before and after surgery. Results The operation time was (122.41±30.55) min in allograft group and (141.56±25.69) min in auto-graft group, the difference was statistically significant. The average hospital stay and bleeding volume were no significant differ-ence between the two groups. In each group, VAS scores, JOA scores, ESR and CRP level and the changes of ASIA scale were sig-nificant difference between pre-and post-operation, but these index showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups. The mean ESR level was (16.46±7.39) mm/h in allograft group, and (13.61±6.85) mm/h in autograft group 3 months af-ter the operation. The fusion time (8.13 ± 1.97) months in allograft group was significantly longer than that in autograft group (5.37± 1.72) months, the difference was statistically significant. At final follow-up, the graft fusion satisfaction rate and the changes of ASIA showed no significant difference. Perioperative complications including gastrointestinal dysfunction in 5 cases (allograft group in 3cases;autograft group in 2cases), and pulmonary infection in 6 cases (allograft group in 4cases;autograft group in 2cas-es). Postoperative complications including kyphosis in 4 cases (allograft group in 3cases;autograft group in 1case), tuberculosis re-currence in 5 cases (allograft group in 3cases;autograft group in 2cases), sinus formation in 5 cases (allograft group in 3cases;auto-graft group in 2cases), chronic pain of the donor site in 6 cases (group autograft). Conclusion There was no significant difference between allogeneic iliac graft and autologous iliac graft in the treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis. Allogeneic iliac bone may be the ideal substitute of autologous iliac bone for the clinical treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis.
