Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems identify brain signals through extracting features from them. In view of the limitations of the autoregressive model feature extraction method and the traditional principal component analysis to deal with the multichannel signals, this paper presents a multichannel feature extraction method that multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) model combined with the multiple-linear principal component analysis (MPCA), and used for magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals and electroencephalograph (EEG) signals recognition. Firstly, we calculated the MVAR model coefficient matrix of the MEG/EEG signals using this method, and then reduced the dimensions to a lower one, using MPCA. Finally, we recognized brain signals by Bayes Classifier. The key innovation we introduced in our investigation showed that we extended the traditional single-channel feature extraction method to the case of multi-channel one. We then carried out the experiments using the data groups of IV-III and IV - I. The experimental results proved that the method proposed in this paper was feasible.

Objective To observe the effect of medicine-induced posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).Methods.PVR was induced in the left eyes of 24 pigmented rabbits by intravitreal injection with platelet rich plasma.The rabbits were randomly divided into two experimental groups (group A and B) and one control group with 8 eyes in each group.Three hours later,the eyes in group A and B and the control group underwent intravireal injection with 1 U plasmin 0.05 ml+ 20 U hyaluronidase 0.05 ml,plasmin 0.1 ml,and balance salt solution 0.1 ml,respectively.The grade of PVR was recorded 1,7,and 28 days after the intravitreal injection,and the eyes were examined by flash electroretinogram (FERG),B-scan,and retinal histopathological examination.Results The PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced successfully.On the 7th day after injection,complete and partial PVD was found in 5 and 3 eyes respectively in group A;partial PVD in 5 eyes and no complete PVD was observed in group B;there was no PVD in the other 3 eyes in group B and also in the eyes in the control group.On the 28th day after intravitreal injection,PVR grade of group A and B were both obviously lower than that of the control group(D= 75.6,98.9;P = 0.003,P = 0.011) ;On the 7th and 28th day after injection,the b-wave amplitude in group A and B was significantly higher than that in the control group;PVR grade of the PVD eyes was lower than that of non-PVD eyes;PVR grade of the complete PVD eyes was only 0 ～ 1.Conclusions Three hours after the PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced,complete PVD induced by intravitreal injection of plasmin combined with hyaluronidase could prevent the development of PVR of rabbit eyes in some degree;partial PVD induced by plasmin alone or combined with hyaluronidase could relieve the development of PVR.

Objective To discuss the relationship between part of risk factors and the characters of coronary artery lesion of different gender patients with coronary heart disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and eight patients who were diagnosed CHD by coronary angiography (CAG) were selected. All patients were divided into male group (122 cases) and female group (86 cases). The characters of CHD and part of clinical data in different gender CHD patients were compared and analyzed. The independent risk factors of different gender CHD patients were analyzed. Results The age of onset in female group was later than male group:(69.22±10.12) years vs.(62.80±11.34) years, P=0.000. The incidence rate of hypertension and diabetes in female group were significantly higher than those in male group: 83.7%(72/86) vs. 63.1%(77/122), 53.5%(46/86) vs. 32.8%(40/122);and the levels of total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in female group were significantly higher than those in male group:(5.16±1.26) mmol/L vs. (4.60±1.23) mmol/L,(1.16±0.27) mmol/L vs. (1.05±0.27) mmol/L, (3.17±1.16) mmol/L vs. (2.74±1.06) mmol/L;the level of uric acid (UA) in female group was significantly lower than that in male group: (319.83±90.05)μmol/L vs. (357.91±98.51)μmol/L, there were significantly differences(P<0.01). The level of trigalloyl glycerol (TG) in two groups had no significant difference: (1.91 ± 1.23) mmol/L vs. (1.75±0.97) mmol/L, P=0.298. Logistic regression analysis showed that age and diabetes were the risk factors of CHD in different gender (P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions There are different risk factors between different gender CHD patients, while the coronary artery lesion is similar. Diabetes is the most important independent risk factor of different gender CHD patients, which is more important for female patients with more risk factors.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a common malignant solid tumor that occurs during childhood;it has a significant heterogene-ity in clinical symptoms and outcome. NB diagnosis is complicated, and various clinical techniques are often involved in examining im-agery, cellular morphology, immunohistochemical staining, gene and molecule biology, and operation excision scope. Diagnoses are graded based on danger extent, which is indicated by clinical stages and unfavorable prognosis factors. These characteristics are the ba-sis for formulating the corresponding synthetic treatment plan. Limited studies are available on treatment norms for adult cases of NB;such cases are currently diagnosed and treated in accordance with child NB diagnosis and treatment norms. An adult patient diagnosed with NB stage 4 is presented. This patient experienced obvious relief from the symptoms after whole body chemotherapy, with further surgery operation indications. This successful case of multi-disciplinary joint diagnosis and cooperative treatment may provide potential treatment techniques for similar patients.

Aim To investigate the protection of ramipril,BQ-123 and their combination against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury in vivo in anesthetized rats,and to explore the mechanism of action of drugs on myocardial oxidation-antioxidation system.Methods Healthy male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups randomly,sham operated(Sham)group,I/R group,ramipril(RAM)group,BQ-123(BQ)group and ramipril and BQ-123(R&B)group.All groups but not sham were subjected to I/R procedure.Twenty four hours before ligation,ramipril(1 mg·kg~(-1))was intragastrically administered to rats in RAM and R&B groups.The equal volume of normal saline was given to rats in other groups.BQ-123(10 μg·kg~(-1)· min-1)was infused intravenously from 10 min before ligation to the end of 30 min ischemia to rats in BQ and R&B groups.The equal volume of normal saline was given to other groups.HR,MAP and the change of ST-segment were observed;ventricular arrhythmias were monitored during ischemia;the infarct size was examined by TTC staining;the activity of myocardial T-SOD,Mn-SOD,CAT and the content of MDA were detected by spectrophotometer.Results Compared with I/R group,the elevation of ST-segment was decreased,onset of VPC and VT was delayed,duration of VPC and VT was shortened,incidence of VPC,VT and VF was decreased,IS and IS/AAR were improved,activity of T-SOD,Mn-SOD and CAT was increased,the content of MDA was decreased in RAM,BQ and R&B groups.Compared with RAM and BQ alone group,onset of VPC and VT,duration of VPC and VT,size,activity of T-SOD and Mn-SOD and content of MDA were changed dramatically in R&B group.Conclusions Ramipril,BQ-123 and the combined use of these two agents protected myocardium from I/R injury in vivo.The protective effects of the combination on delaying onset of VA,shortening duration of VA,decreasing infarct size and content of MDA,and increasing activity of SOD are better than those of using ramipril or BQ-123 alone.

Objective To evaluate PBL teaching results in medical virology experiment course. Methods Medical students of class 2011 were randomized assigned into PBL group (n=45, 20 five-academic-year students and 25 seven-academic year students) and control group (n=63, 38 five-academic-year students and 25 seven-academic year students). Teaching effectiveness was evaluated by scores of experiment, medical virology examination and final examination. PBL group was surveyed with questionnaire. SPSS statistical software was used and t test was employed to do analysis. Results Scores in medical virology examination were higher in seven-academic-year students in PBL group than in control group and there was no difference in other two examination scores between the two groups. Survey showed that interest motivation, case analysis, experiment design and knowledge grasp-ing in PBL group were highly satisfied. However, evidence-based and generalization ability among seven-academic-year students as well as autonomous learning ability and ability to deduce material among five-academic-year students were not completed satisfied. Conclusions PBL with public health events in medical virology experiment course can develop students' intrinsic motivation, knowledge grasping and public health awareness. However, PBL methods should be adjusted to suit different academic students.
