BACKGROUND: Silicon nanowire field effect transistor electronic biosensors (SiNW-FETs) have attracted enormous interest in the biosensing field and have made rapid progress in protein detection.OBJECTIVE: To review the progress in protein detection by using silicon nanowire biosensors.METHODS: PubMed, CNKI, Baidu Scholar, Google Scholar were searched by the first author for the articles related to protein detection, microfluidic channels and silicon nanowire biosensors published from 2005 to 2016.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: SiNW-FETs, with the merits of high sensitivity, target selectivity, real-time recording and label-free character, have been confirmed to have broad application prospects.

A method which combines empirical mode decomposition with wavelet transform is employed to remove breathing baseline draft from pulse wave signal. First of all, this method decomposes pulse wave signal into several intrinsic mode functions and judges the intrinsic mode function which contains the information of breathing baseline draft. And then wavelet transform is used to decompose these intrinsic mode functions, and the detail coefficients representing breathing baseline draft are set into zero. At last, the signal is rebuilt. This can realize removing breathing baseline draft. A self-developed measurement device was used to obtain the pulse wave signal for validating, and AC-DC modulation ratio value was adopted to evaluate the effect. The results showed that this method could effectively remove breathing baseline draft from pulse wave signal.

Based on the big data of Electronic Medical Records (EMR),information retrieval and the deep learning method,an auxiliary diagnosis Question Answering (QA) system is designed.The paper introduces the design of general framework,EMR database,value network and policy-based network of the system,provides the system operation process.This system can not only help patients to examine their conditions independently,but also provide reference for doctors when they make the diagnosis and treatment schemes.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of ileocecum interposition graft as gastric replacement in alimentary reconstuction. Methods Various methods including video-assisted gastroscopy, esophageal manometry, 24 h pH esophageal monitoring, total bile acids (TBA) in gastric fluid, barium meal examination of upper alimentary tract, quality of life (QOL) were used in stomach function monitoring on 8 cases after such reconstruction. Meanwhile, comparisons were performed with 15 cases after reconstruction of stomach with jejunum (RSJ) or 15 normal people. Results The ileocecal valve could replace the cardia and was possessed of good anti-gastroesephageal reflux capability. The ileocecum and ascending colon had sufficient capacity and was a good container. The retained pyloras proved efficient in anti-duodenogastric reflux and in lengthening gastric emptying time. Quality of life after operatin was satisfactory. Conclusion This surgical procedure is an ideal method of alimentary reconstruction which is close to physiological status.

Organoids are three-dimensional (3D) biological structures constructed in vitro by stem cells, which partially mimic the function of real organs. Brain organoids are an extremely important branch of organoid research. This technology can differentiate pluripotent stem cells into the required cell types in a 3D culture environment, and self-assemble into structural bodies, but it is currently unable to fully replicate the structural and physiological features of the real human brain. The maturity of brain organoids may form consciousness, which poses ethical issues such as determining moral status and informed consent in brain organoids research. This paper elaborated on the research progress and future development direction of brain organoids, and proposed multidimensional governance strategies for ethical issues faced in brain organoids research from the perspectives of ethical principles, ensuring public informed consent, and legal supervision. By exploring the above issues, reference will be provided for formulating ethical principles to guide the research and application of brain organoids in the future.

Objective:To observe clinical effect of addition and subtraction therapy of Si Junzitang combined with Simotang to outlet obstructive constipation (OOC) after stapled trans-anal rectal resection (STARR). Method:One hundred and twenty-four patients were randomly divided into control group (62 cases) and observation group (62 cases) by random number table. Patients in control group got Qirong Ruichang oral liquid, 20 mL/time, 3 times/day. After operation, patients in observation group got addition and subtraction therapy of Si Junzitang combined with Simotang, 1 dose/day. And courses of treatment in two groups were 4 weeks, and 8 weeks' follow-up was recorded. Before the operation and at the second and fourth week after treatment, and the eighth week of follow-up, scores of main symptoms of constipation and Longo ODS were graded. Before the operation and at the fourth week after treatment, levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), constipation patients quality of life self-assessment scale (PAC-QOL), anorectal pressure, anal resting pressure (ARP), maximum anal systolic pressure (MSP), rectal defecation pressure (RSP), FSV, CRS and MTV were recorded. And incidence, recurrence, normal defecation, satisfaction at the fourth week after the operation and safety were evaluated. Result:The clinical rate in observation group was better than that in control group (Z=2.096, P<0.05). At the second, fourth after treatment and eigh weeks' for follow-up, score of main symptoms of constipation and Longo ODS were both lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Levels of ARP, FSV, FSV, CRS and MDA were lower than those in control group (P<0.01), levels of MSP, RSP and SOD were higher than those in control group (P<0.01). Incidence and recurrence rate in observation group were 20.97% (13/62) and 4.84% (3/62) were all lower than 39.71% (24/62) and 16.13% (10/62) in control group (P<0.05). Normal defecation rate in observation group was 91.94% (57/62) higher than 80.65% (50/62) in control group, but there was no statistical significance in two groups. And total score of PAC-QOL and scores of each factor were all lower than those in control group (P<0.01). Then there was no adverse reaction related to the traditional Chinese medicine. Conclusion:Addition and subtraction therapy of Si Junzitang combined with Simotang can reduce constipation symptoms and the degree of illness, improve the quality of life, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and recurrence rate, and improve anorectal dynamic indicators and oxidative stress indicators, improve the clinical efficacy.
