This paper presents a new method for QRS complex self-assortment based on mathematical morphology, which measures the comparability of QRS complex with weighted Hausdorff distance. Beginning with the traditional Hausdorff distance, this paper introduces the weighted Hausdorff distance of planar object and the detailed algorithm of self-assortment of QRS complex. The evaluation results of this algorithm by MIT-BIHECG database show that this method has high self-assortment capability.

Objective To investigate the correlation of diabetic skeletal muscle disease with macroangiopathy, and to explore the related genes of Shenqi Compound Recipe (SCR) in preventing and treating diabetic skeletal muscle disease by using gene chip technique, thus to reveal the molecular mechanism. Methods KKAy mice were fed with water containing nitri oxide synthase inhibitor of Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester ( L-NAME) and high fat diet to induce the macroangiopathy complicated with type 2 diabetes. The experimental animals were divided into normal c57BL/GJ group, KKAy group, model group, SCR group (in the dosage of 14.4 g·kg-1·d-1) and rosiglitazone group ( in the dosage of 1.33 mg·kg-1·d-1) , 15 in each group. The medication groups were administered the corresponding agents for 8 consecutive weeks just as the modeling began. During the experiment period, blood glucose was monitored. At the end of the experiment, the abdominal aorta and skeletal muscle of mice were taken out for the observation of morphological changes, and differentially expressed genes of skeletal muscle between SCR group and model group, and between model group and KKAy group were detected by gene chip technique. Results SCR had an effect on relieving the atrophy, edema, fracture, and inflammatory changes in the skeletal muscle. There were 198 genes differentially expressed between model group and KKAy group, including 119 up-regulated genes and 79 down-regulated genes. There were 70 genes differentially expressed between SCR group and model group, including 33 up-regulated genes and 37 down-regulated genes. In the two comparison groups, 7 genes ( Celsr2, Rilpl1, Dlx6as, 2010004M13Rik, Anapc13, Gm6097, Ddx39b) showed reversed differential expression. Conclusion Diabetic skeletal muscle disease is associated with macroangiopathy. SCR has preventive effect on diabetic skeletal muscle lesion, and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of Celsr2, Rilpl1, Dlx6as, 2010004M13Rik, Anapc13, Gm6097, Ddx39b gene expression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of advanced age on sepsis-caused heterogeneity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the cytomembrane of skeleton muscle in rats.Methods Twenty SPF adult rats (aged 4-5 months,weighing 250-280 g) and 20 aged male Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 18-20 months,weighing 550-600 g),were obtained from the Experimental Animal Centre of Chongqing Medical University.The adult rats were randomly divided into control group (CAd group,n =10) and sepsis group (SAd group,n =10).The aged rats were randomly divided into control group (CAg group,n =10) and sepsis group (SAg group,n =10).Sepsis was produced by cecal ligation and puncture.The specimens of anterior tibial muscle were obtained at 24 h after operation for determination of the expression of neuronal nAChR (α7-nAChR) and fetal nAChR (γ-nAChR) using immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results The expression of γ-nAChR and α7-nAChR in the cytomembrane of anterior tibial muscle was significantly higher in CAg and SAd groups than in CAd group,and in SAg group than in CAg and SAd groups.Conclusion Advanced age can aggravate sepsis-induced heterogeneity of nAChR in the cytomembrane of skeleton muscle in rats.

Objective To discuss the clinical features diagnosis and treatment of cerebral schistosomiasis. Methods A to?tal of 166 patients with cerebral schistosomiasis were treated and their clinical data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results In 166 cases of cerebral schistosomiasis the confirmative diagnoses of 156 cases were diagnosed according to the clin?ical manifestation etiology immunology and auxiliary examination CT MRI .In among 74 cases were confirmed by pathologi?cal examination 10 cases were diagnosed through to the diagnostic treatment. Totally 102 patients received the oral medication of praziquantel and they all improved and discharged 14?16 days later 64 patients received the craniotomy and praziquantel medication after the operation and 48 patients significantly improved others did not improve or aggravated. There was no opera?tive mortality. Conclusions Neuroimaging and laboratory tests are valuable in the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis. The praziquantel treatment is selected firstly when the diagnosis was established. However in the case of serious intracranial hyper?tension intractable epilepsy and praziquantel treatment fails the surgical treatment is required.

Aim To investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of NGF on H9 c2 cardiac myocytes in a hypoxia / reox-ygenation injury model and its mechanism. Methods The H9 c2 cardiac myocytes were randomly divided into five groups:control group ( C group) , hypoxia/reoxy-genation group ( H/R group) , NGF group ( N group) , NGF+LY294002 group ( N+L group) and LY294002 group( L group) . Each group received the correspond-ing treatment. Cell survival rate was tested by cell counter kit-8 methods. Apoptotic rate was evaluated by propidium iodide ( PI ) staining and flow cytometry (FCM). The levels of Caspase-12, p-Akt/Akt were e-valuated by Western blot. Results The NGF group could significantly protect the H9 c2 cardiac myocytes under the hypoxia / reoxygenation injury with increased cell survival rate. It also decreased the apoptotic per-centage, upregulated the level of p-Akt/Akt and inhib-ited the expression of Caspase-12 . As the specific in-hibitor of PI3k receptor, LY294002 decreased the level of p-Akt. Conclusion NGF has the effect of anti-ap-optosis on H9 c2 cardiac myocytes exposed to hypoxia /reoxygenation injury via PI3k-Akt signal pathway.
