A novel built-in-self-test (BIST) method called seeded autonomous cyclic shift register (SACSR) is presented to reduce test power of the sequential circuit. The key idea is to use a pseudorandom pattern generator and several XOR gates to generate seeds that share fewer test vectors. The generated seed is taken XOR operation with a cyclic shift register, and the single input change (SIC) sequence is generated. The proposed scheme is easily implemented and can reduce the switching activities of the circuit under test (CUT) greatly. Experimental results on ISCAS89 benchmarks show that on average more than 63% power reduction can be achieved. It also demonstrates that the generated test vectors attain high fault coverage for stuck-at fault and transition fault coverage with short test length.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and surgical treatment of cerebral amyloid angiopathy hemorrhage (CAAH) caused by cerebral vascular amyloidosis.Methods The clinical data,radiological diagnoses,pathology results and treatment efficacies of 76 patients with CAAH,admitted to and performed surgery in our hospital from August 2010 to September 2015,were retrospectively analyzed.Results The first preoperative CT indicated that prompt hematomas were located in the cerebral hemisphere brain cortex,forming lobulated or irregular shape;2 or more lesions of recurrent hemorrhage were noted in 14 (18.4％);34 (44.7％) were with subarachnoid hemorrhage,16 (21.1％) were with intraventricular hemorrhage.Histopathological examination supported the diagnosis.Sixteen patients (21.1％) underwent second operation during hospitalization due to large amount of bleeding.During hospitalization,18 (23.7％) died,and 20 (26.3％) had long-term coma.During the follow-up period,23 patients (30.3％) had recurrent intracranial hemorrhage,of which,6 patients (7.9％) underwent surgical treatment,and 17 patients (22.4％) died.Conclusion The bleeding sites of CAAH mainly locate in the lobes of the brain surface,with lobulated or irregular shape,which is easily complicated with subarachnoid hemorrhage or intraventricular hemorrhage,with multiple features;diagnostic rate of CAAH can be improved by pathological examination of brain tissues and blood vessels;CAAH after surgery has high relapse rate and poor surgical results.

Background::Exercise, as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, is recommended to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The underlying molecular basis and metabolic process were not fully elucidated.Methods::Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into five groups: non-COPD/rest ( n = 8), non-COPD/exercise ( n = 7), COPD/rest ( n = 7), COPD/medium exercise ( n = 10), and COPD/intensive exercise ( n = 10). COPD animals were exposed to cigarette smoke and lipopolysaccharide instillation for 90 days, while the non-COPD control animals were exposed to room air. Non-COPD/exercise and COPD/medium exercise animals were trained on a treadmill at a decline of 5° and a speed of 15 m/min while animals in the COPD/intensive exercise group were trained at a decline of 5° and a speed of 18 m/min. After eight weeks of exercise/rest, we used ultrasonography, immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, oxidative capacity of mitochondria, airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI), and transcriptomics analyses to assess rectal femoris (RF). Results::At the end of 90 days, COPD rats’ weight gain was smaller than control by 59.48 ± 15.33 g ( P = 0.0005). The oxidative muscle fibers proportion was lower ( P < 0.0001). At the end of additional eight weeks of exercise/rest, compared to COPD/rest, COPD/medium exercise group showed advantages in weight gain, femoral artery peak flow velocity (Δ58.22 mm/s, 95% CI: 13.85-102.60 mm/s, P = 0.0104), RF diameters (Δ0.16 mm, 95% CI: 0.04-0.28 mm, P = 0.0093), myofibrils diameter (Δ0.06 μm, 95% CI: 0.02-0.10 μm, P = 0.006), oxidative muscle fiber percentage (Δ4.84%, 95% CI: 0.15-9.53%, P = 0.0434), mitochondria oxidative phosphorylate capacity ( P < 0.0001). Biomolecules spatial distribution in situ and bioinformatic analyses of transcriptomics suggested COPD-related alteration in metabolites and gene expression, which can be impacted by exercise. Conclusion::COPD rat model had multi-level structure and function impairment, which can be mitigated by exercise.
