Electroencephalogram (EEG) classification for brain-computer interface (BCI) is a new way of realizing human-computer interreaction. In this paper the application of semi-supervised sparse representation classifier algorithms based on help training to EEG classification for BCI is reported. Firstly, the correlation information of the unlabeled data is obtained by sparse representation classifier and some data with high correlation selected. Secondly, the boundary information of the selected data is produced by discriminative classifier, which is the Fisher linear classifier. The final unlabeled data with high confidence are selected by a criterion containing the information of distance and direction. We applied this novel method to the three benchmark datasets, which were BCI I, BCI II_IV and USPS. The classification rate were 97%, 82% and 84.7%, respectively. Moreover the fastest arithmetic rate was just about 0. 2 s. The classification rate and efficiency results of the novel method are both better than those of S3VM and SVM, proving that the proposed method is effective.

BACKGROUND:Autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,as the current latest therapy is widely used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases,however,the treatment on myasthenia gravis is still in the primary stage.OBJECTIVE:To create the model of myasthenia gravis with autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in rats and to observe clinical manifestation,attenuation rate of repetitive nerve electric stimulation action potential and titer of serum acetylcholine receptor Ab in the models.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized control animal experiment was performed at the Human Anatomy Laboratory,Medical College of Zhengzhou University between July and December 2007.MATERIALS:Totally 50 female Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups,a normal group(n=10),an adjuvant control group(n=10),a stem cell transplantation group(n=15),and a model control group(n=15).METHODS:Rats in the normal group were intact.Rats in the adjuvant group were subjected to the same volume of saline and cyclophosphamide.Rats in the stem cell transplantation group were used to make experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis by intraperitoneally infusing with serum of myasthenia gravis patients.Bone marrow stem cells were mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.Autologous peripheral blood stem cells were collected and then were transplanted via tail vein injection after the pretreatment regimen of cyclophosphamide.Rats in the model control group were treated with an equal volume of peripheral blood,and with other procedures as the stem cell transplantation group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Swimming time and survival rate of rats from each group after stem cell transplantation;attenuation rate of repetitive nerve electric stimulation action potential and titer of serum acetylcholine receptor Ab were measured at 4 and 9 weeks after stem cell transplantation.RESULTS:The survival rate was higher in the stem cell transplantation group than in the model control group(P

Objective To explore the clinical treatment of patients with stage Ⅲ carcinoma of colon and rectum by tegafur chemotherapeutic drugs combined with standardized adjuvant therapy. Methods The data of 60 cases of carcinoma of colon and rectum treated in Wenzhou Central hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were collected. The patients were divided into three groups, non standardized adjuvant treatment group of 18 cases, standardized adjuvant treatment group of 15 cases and tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group of 27 cases. Recorded and compared the survival rate of the three groups within three years, the statistics of each group of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rate (OS). According to the duration of treatment group, the use of oxaliplatin combined with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFOX) treatment, analyzed and recorded OS and DFS. Follow-up examinations were performed in patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy. Recorded and compared the OS and DFS of each group. Results Tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group DFS and OS were significantly higher than the other two groups, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, when treated with FOLFOX regimen, the DFS and OS of group Ⅲ were significantly higher than those of groupⅠand groupⅡ, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the follow-up survey of three groups, the rates of recurrence and death in patients treated with tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group were significantly lower than those in the non standardized adjuvant treatment group and the standardized adjuvant treatment group. Conclusion Tegafur combined with adjuvant therapy can significantly improve the standardization of the rate of carcinoma of colon and rectum and the rate of disease-free survival, it is suggested that doctors use chemotherapy combined with auxiliary standardized therapy, can significantly improve the survival of patients, and reduce the risk of disease recurrence rate.

Objective To summarize the value of early mechanical ventilation plus continuous vacuum suction in treatment of serious pulmonary contusion.Methods Forty-eight cases of severe pulmonary contusion were assigned to mechanical ventilation plus continuous vacuum suction (observation group,n =20) and mechanical ventilation plus discontinuous vacuum suction (control group,n =28)according to the random number table.Modes of mechanical ventilation were synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV),pressure support ventilation (PSV),and positive and expiratory pressure (PEEP).Changes in blood gas analysis,mechanical ventilation time,and associated complications were compared between groups.Results At ventilation time of 6 and 24 hours,PaO2 in observation group was (100.36 ± 5.90) mmHg and (105.34 ± 7.40) mmHg respectively,with significant differences from (75.36 ± 8.95) mmHg and (76.36 ± 8.35) mmHg in control group (P ＜ 0.01).At ventilation time of 24 hours,PaO2/FiO2 was (283.50 ± 15.20) mmHg in observation group and (201.50 ± 10.20) mmHg in control group (P ＜0.01).Mechanical ventilation time and PEEP at ventilation time of 48 hours in observation group was (3.2 ± 1.1) days and (4.5 ± 2.3) cmH2 O,with significant differences from (6.5 ± 2.8) days and (8.5 ± 2.5) cmH2O in control group (P ＜ 0.01).Associated complications of the two groups revealed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Early mechanical ventilation with sustained vacuum suction is effective to keep airway clear,improve oxygenation index,decrease PEEP level,and control the duration of mechanical ventilation,but may not lower the risks of ventilator-associated pneumonia and pulmonary atelectasis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the level of plasma D-dimer(D-D) and hepatic functional reserve status in patients with hepatitis B (HB).Methods77 cases with HB were divided into two groups, hepatic function compensated group and hepatic function decompensated group.Plasma D-D, hepatic functional indexes and PT of all patients were detected.ResultsThe level of D-D in the hepatic function decompensated group was higher than that in the hepatic function compensated group(299.0 ± 498.5) μg/L vs (27.9 ± 34.0) μg/L(t =3.1, P ＜ 0.01).D-D negatively correlated with ALB and PA(r =-0.6,-0.6, all P ＜ 0.01), and positively correlated with TBIL and PT(r = 0.4,0.6, all P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionThe level of plasma D-D related with hepatic functional reserve status,and detecting the level of D-D could be helpful to estimate hepatic functional reserve and prognosis of patients with HB.
