Objective Since predicting protein secondary structure is the basis of predicting protein spacial structure, it is important to improve the prediction accuracy of secondary structure. Methods A two-stage BP neural network was constructed based on the method of combining hydrophobicity of amino acid residues with PSSM which contains evolution information. CB513 dataset was employed in our study. After excluding the protein chains containing X,B and those with sequence length shorter than 30 amino acids, 492 protein chains in the dataset were used. The results of protein secondary structure prediction of our study were compared with those from the networks using only PSSN as their inputs. Accuracy of the network was tested by 4-fold cross-validation. Results In our study, α-helix was predicted with an averaged accuracy of nearly 79%, sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 91%. Total prediction accuracy of secondary structure reached 75.96%, which was higher than that of only using PSSM as input. Conclusion The new method developed can better predict protein secondary structure, especially α-helix with a higher accuracy.

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of primary closure of non-dilaed common bile ducts (CBD) after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent primary closure of CBD after laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from April 1, 2014 to November 30, 2019. There were 44 males and 76 females, aged 22.0 to 88.0 years, (average age of 57.2 years). These patients were divided into the dilated CBD group (diameter of CBD >8 mm) and the normal CBD group (diameter of CBD ≤8 mm). The following factors, including operating time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospitalization stay, abdominal drainage tube indwelling time and postoperative complications were compared.Results:The dilated CBD group consisted of 76 patients, with 25 males and 51 females, and a median age of 62.5 years. The normal CBD group consisted of 44 patients, with 19 males and 25 females, and a median age of 57.5 years. There were no significant differences in gender, age, albumin level, total bilirubin and other baseline data between groups ( P>0.05). The operation times of the two groups were: the normal CBD group [106.6(87.3, 146.3] min vs the dilated CBD group [112.0(90.5, 134.5)] min; intraoperative blood loss [the normal CBD group 20(10, 30)ml vs dilated CBD group 20(10, 20)ml]; postoperative hospital stay [the normal CBD group 7.0 (5.3, 9.0) d vs the dilated CBD group 7.0 (5.0, 7.0) d]; and postoperative abdominal drainage tube removal time [the normal CBD group 6 (4, 7) d vs the dilated CBD group 5 (4, 6)d]. The differences were all not significant ( P>0.05). There was also no significant difference in the incidences of postoperative complications (including bile leakage, biliary stricture, and stone recurrence between groups, all P>0.05). Conclusion:In patients with a normal diameter (≤8 mm) common bile duct, it was safe and efficacious to perform primary closure after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, especially the comprehensive improvement of blood glucose and lipid of probucol and metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. Methods:Totally 105 patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the control group1 (35 cases), the control group 2 (34 ca-ses) and the observation group (36 cases). The control group 1 was treated with diet control, exercise and metformin, the control group 2 was treated with rosuvastatin calclum tablets based on the group 1, and the observation group was treated with probucol based on the group 1. The three groups were continuously treated for 12 weeks. The improvement of the fasting blood-glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (PBG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), fasting insulin levels (Fins), insulin resistance indices (HOMA-IR) and TC, TG and HDL-C, and the adverse reactions among the three groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate in the ob-servation group was higher than that in the control group 1 and 2 (P<0. 05). After the treatment, all the indices of blood glucose and lipid in the three groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05), and those of blood glucose in the observation were better than those in the control group 1 and 2(P<0. 05), those of blood lipid in the observation group and the control group 2 were better than those in the control group 1 (P<0. 05), and the level of HDL-C in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group 2 (P<0. 05). The adverse drug reactions in the three groups were mild without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Probucol as one of lipid-lowing drugs with antioxidant action combined with metformin can improve blood lipid and lower blood glucose at the same time, which is worthy of promoted application in clinics.

Objective Predicting protein structural class is the basis for predicting protein spatial structure,so it is important to improve the prediction accuracy of protein structural class.Methods We proposed 3-state and 8-state Hidden Markov model (HMM),and applied these HMMs to the prediction of protein structural class,respectively.We evaluated their accuracy on two different datasets through the rigorous jackknife cross-validation test.Results Prediction ability of 8-state HMM and 3-state HMM to all α class were excellent,the prediction accuracy of 3-state HMM even reached above 95％.Compared with Chou data set,the prediction accuracy of Zhou data set for all β class and α/β class of was improved,while overall prediction accuracy increased by 2％.Conclusion HMM is an effective method to predict protein structural class.

Objective To evaluate changes in cerebral blood flow before and after cranioplasty by 256-slice Spiral CT perfusion imaging,and evaluate the effect of cranioplasty on the cerebral blood flow in patients with skull defect.Methods 256-slice spiral CT scan was performed in 20 cases with early cranioplasty surgery,CTP check time points were 1 to 2 days before and 10 to 14 days after cranioplasty surgery.We recorded the the CBF and CBV of the cortex,basal ganglia,and thalamus and other parts,MTT on rCBV,parameter values rCBF,MTT and 1TrP etc.and analyzed and compared.(RCBF,rCBV,MTT and TTP) Results The CBF of cortex after cranioplasty at injured side had statistically significant increase (P＜0.05).The CBF of cortex,basic nuclei,thalamus on contrateral had no statistically significant difference.The cerebral blood flow on both sides of the basal ganglia and the thalamus was increased after surgery,but there was no significant difference between before and after surgery (P＞0.05) Conclusion Cranioplasty can significantly improve the ipsilateral cortex cerebral blood flow,and CT brain perfusion can accurately assess changes in brain tissue blood flow before and after cranioplasty.

Objective To explore the correlation between personality traits in children and parental rearing patterns.Methods Two hundred and seventy-nine middle school students were investigated with egma minnenav bardndasnauppforstran(EMBU)and Eysenck personality questionnaire,and then Pearson correlation was analyzed.Results High positive correlation were found among scores of parental rearing patterns and those of neuroticism(N)and psychoticism(P).P score correlated significantly with parent's punishment,rejection and negative reaction,over interference and over protection,while high negative correlation with the score of parent's emotional warmth.N correlated significantly with parent's punishment,overprotection and rejection,high positive correlated the score of lie with parent's emotional warmth.Conclusion Parental rearing patterns play very important roles in children's personality development.
