The present paper is a research on independent component analysis (ICA) method in the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) extraction. Based on the fundamental model for the ICA and the fixed-point FastICA algorithm using negentropy, damped Newton iteration was used in place of Newton iteration. The algorithm was improved in order to overcome the drawbacks where it is more sensitive to choosing the initial value. The improved algorithm was used to extract the FECG. A synthetic ECG was used in the experiments, and three simulation signal sources were selected, including two sources of ECG and one Gaussian noise source. The experimental results were satisfactory, The convergence rate was faster and the error was smaller.

Objective To investigate the expression of pSTAT5 in 7 pancreatic carcinoma cell lines,and the change of expression of pSTAT5 in pancreatic carcinoma cells SW1990 after growth hormone (GH) treatment, and explore its molecular mechanism. Methods Human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (SW1990, Cap-1, Colo, Mia, AsPc, P3, PANC1) were cultured in vitro, and Western blotting was used to detect the expression of pSTAT5 in these cell lines. SW1990 in exponential growth phase was collected and nude Balb/c mice were inoculated with SW1990 cells. When tumors became palpable after inoculation, mice (normal saline group). 1 h, 2 h and 24 h after the last dose of GH treatment, the mice were sacrificed.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 and inoculation tumor cells after GH injection. Results Positive expression of pSTAT5 was observed in all human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (SW1990, Cap-1, Colo, Mia, Aspc, P3, PANC1). 5 minutes after GH (50 ng/ml) stimulation, the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 was 0.57 ±0.05, which was significantly increased; and it reached 0.64 ±0.04 at 10 minutes, then decreased to 0.39 ±0.03 at 15 minutes, however, it remained higher than that in the control group at 1 h (0.33 ± 0.02 vs 0.25 ± 0.06), and its expression at 2 h was 0.26 ± 0.03 and returned to the normal level. The expression of pSTAT5 in xenograft was not significantly changed. Conclusions GH could rapidly up-regulate the expression of pSTAT5 in SW1990 but the effect lasted for a relatively short period. GH had no significant effect on the expression of pSTAT5 in xenograft.

Objective To study the mechanism of pregnancy immune tolerance induced by adoptive transferring of FasL gene-modified dendritic cells(DC). Methods The mouse models of spontaneous abortion(CBA/J ? DBA/2) and normal pregnancy(CBA/J ? BALB/c) were established.Five different experimental groups were included: mice of normal pregnancy(CBA/J?BALB/c)(n=17),served as control group;mice of spontaneous abortion without treatment(CBA/J?DBA/2)(n=37),mice injected with DC culture medium(DCCM)(n=25);mice immunized with empty plasmid pcDNA3.1-DC(n=6);and mice immunized with pcDNA3.1-FasL-DC(n=5).Embryo resorption rates of pregnant mice in each groups were observed.Annexin V-FITC was used to detect the apoptosis of T cells.Immunohistochemical staining(SABC) was used to detect the expression of FasL in decidual membranes of pregnant mice. ResultsThe embryo resorption rate of mice immunized with FasL-DC was decreased significantly as compared with that of mice of spontaneous abortion without treatment,DCCM group and immunized with pcDNA3.1-DC(P0.05). Conclusion The decreased apoptosis rate of peripheral T cells and the reduced expression of FasL in decidual membranes may be an important mechanism for the pathogenesis of abortion.Adoptive transfer of FasL gene-modified DC may induce pregnancy immune tolerance by increasing FasL expression of maternal-fetal interface and decreasing embryo resorption rate.

0.05). Positive expression of 2 or all 3 markers of neuroendocrine cell was detected in all 16 samples; negative expression of all 5 peptide hormones was observed in only 25% of samples. At a mean follow-up of 44.2 months (range 4 months-7 years ), the mean time from resection to relapse or metastasis was 29.8 months; 7 cases survived more than 5 years, of which 2 have survived for 7 years. Two cases, who subjected non-operative treatment, survired 39,61 months, respectively.Conclusions Clinical manifestations of NPNEC are non-specific. Only a few tumors in NPNEC patients do not yield peptide hormones. Treatment of NPNEC (including patients with liver metastasis) with aggressive surgical resection followed by interventional methods can result in excellent overall long-term survival.

Objective To investigate the effect of GH on proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells and observe the features of IGF-IGFBP3 pathway in the host after GH administration. Methods Pancreatic cancer cells (SW-1990,PANC-1 and P3) during exponential growth stage were harvested and cultured in medium containing growth hormone (50 ng/ml). After 24, 48 and 72 hours, cells were counted using a Coulter Counter. Thirty-five Athymic nude Balb/c mice were inoculated with SW-1990cells. When tumors became palpable after inoculation, animals were randomized to receive GH points (1 h, 2 h, 6 h, 24 after the last injection), plasma samples were gathered for subsequent ELISA determination and liver was rapidly incised for immune blotting analysis. Results The results revealed that GH stimulated cell growth in vitro. GH elevated levels of IGF-Ⅰ , Ⅱ at the 1st , 2nd , 6th hour after the last injection. GH augmented the expression of IGFBP3 in the liver of the host in vivo (1 h, 2 h, 6 h, 24 h, respectively). Conclusion Such proteins as IGF- Ⅰ and Ⅱ might be associated with mechanism of last effect of GH on tumor host. The up-regulation of IGFBP3 by GH administration in the host may help to explain the phenomena that GH doesn't accelerate growth of pancreatic tumor in vivo.
