However...Purpose: The proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) is known to have advantages in enhancing the anchorage ability of internal fixation in elderly unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture patients. However whether it is superior to condylar blade fixation is not clear. This study aimed to determine which treatment has better clinical outcomes in older patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 86 patients over the age of 60 with unstable trochanteric fractures within the past 3 weeks, were included in this prospective study conducted from June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2021. All the intertrochanteric fractures were classified according to AO/OTA classification. Among them, 44 cases were treated with the Proximal Femoral Nail (PFNA2) with or without an augmentation screw, and 42 cases were treated with the Condylar Blade Plate. In addition, the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, postoperative weight-bearing time, hospitalization time, Harris score of hip function, Kyle’s criteria and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The mean duration of surgery for the PFN group was 66.8 minutes (on average), whereas for the condylar blade plate group, it was 99.30 minutes (on average). The PFNA2 group experienced less blood loss (average of 80 mL) compared to the condylar blade plate group (average of 120 mL). Union and partial weight-bearing occurred earlier in the PFNA2 group (14.1 weeks and 10.6 weeks, respectively) compared to the Condylar blade plate group (18.7 weeks and 15.8 weeks). In two patients from the PFNA2 group, screw backing out and varus collapse complications were encountered;however, these patients remained asymptomatic and did not require revision surgery. In two other patients, screw cut out and breakage of the nail at the helical screw hole leading to non-union of the proximal femur were observed during the nine-month follow-up, necessitating revision surgery with prosthetic replacement. Among the condylar blade plate group, three patients experienced complications, including blade breakage at the blade and plate junction. In two cases, the fracture united in varus, and in one case, the blade cut through, resulting in non-union of the femoral head, which required revision surgery. According to the Harris hip score and Kyle’s criteria, a good-excellent outcome was observed in 92.85% of cases in the PFNA2 group and 90.90% of cases in the condylar blade plate group. Conclusion: Both the Proximal Femoral Nail A2 and Condylar blade plate are effective implants for the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures. The intramedullary implant promotes biological healing and allows for early ambulation with minimal complications. Similarly satisfactory restoration of anatomy and favorable radiological and functional results can be achieved with the biological fixation provided by the 95-degree condylar blade plate. However, the use of PFNA2 internal fixation technique has the advantage of less trauma in elderly patients than the 95-degree condylar blade plate.展开更多

More precisely, the unstable nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation and its modified form are analytically solved using two efficient distinct techniques, known as the modified Kudraysov method and the sine-Gordon expansion approach. As a result, a wide range of new exact traveling wave solutions for the unstable nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation and its modified form are formally obtained.展开更多

Takin...A method is proposed for prediction of the unstable deformation in hot forging process using both the determined thermomechnical parameter windows of the unstable deformation zones and finite element simulation. Taking Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si alloy as the testing material, the thermomechnical parameter windows of the unstable deformation zones for the Ti-alloy are integrated into a commercial finite element simulation software platform. The distribution and variation of the unstable deformation zones of the alloy in hot compression process are simulated and predicted using the tailor-made finite element codes in the finite element platform. The simulation results tally with the physical experiments and the proposed method for simulation and prediction of the unstable deformation is thus verified and its efficiency is validated.展开更多

The quality assessment was accomplished according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Pair-wise meta-analyses were carried out by Rev Man 5.3. A random-effects model of NMA was used to compare the different regimens of SMICs with regard to efficacy by STATA 13.0.RESULTS: A total of 111 studies involving 10 500patients were included in the NMA. The methodological quality of included studies was not high.Current evidence shows that salvianolate(SI) is the optimal treatment for UAP in improving the total efficacy against UAP. Guanxingning(GXN) is the optimal treatment for UAP for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.CONCLUSION: SMICs have advantages in preventing cardiovascular events. GXN, SI, and Danhong had the greatest probability of being the best treatment in the total efficacy against UAP and for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.展开更多

Identification of biomarkers for UA at the level of proteomics and metabolomics is a better avenue to understand the inner mechanism of it. Feature selection based data mining method is better suited to identify biomarkers of UA. In this study, we carried out clinical epidemiology to collect plasmas of UA in-patients and controls. Proteomics and metabolomics data were obtained via two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and gas chromatography techniques. We presented a novel computational strategy to select biomarkers as few as possible for UA in the two groups of data. Firstly, decision tree was used to select biomarkers for UA and 3-fold cross validation was used to evaluate computational performanees for the three methods. Alternatively, we combined inde- pendent t test and classification based data mining method as well as backward elimination technique to select, as few as possible, protein and metabolite biomarkers with best classification performances. By the method, we selected 6 proteins and 5 metabolites for UA. The novel method presented here provides a better insight into the pathology of a disease.展开更多
文摘BACKGROUND Unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients require effective surgical management,with both cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty(CBHA)and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)being valid treatment options to reduce morbidity and mortality.AIM To evaluate and compare the outcomes of CBHA and PFNA in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted to identify relevant studies discussing the outcomes of using both CBH and PFNA in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.Studies published up to January 1,2025 were searched across multiple databases,including PubMed,EMBASE,Scopus,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,and Google Scholar.Full texts of the selected articles were retrieved,reviewed,and independently assessed by the investigators.Discrepancies were resolved by consensus,with any remaining disagreements being arbitrated by a third author.RESULTS This meta-analysis included three studies,all of which were retrospective,involving a total of 240 patients.The follow-up period for participants was at least 12 months.CBHA was associated with significantly higher blood loss compared to PFNA[mean differences(MD):129.14,95%CI(52.51,205.77),P=0.001],though heterogeneity was high(I²=97%).Operative time showed no significant difference initially[MD:6.10,95%CI(-13.34,25.54),P=0.54],but after excluding one study,BHA had longer operative times[MD:21.51,95%CI(18.60,24.41),P<0.00001].Hospital stay and Harris scores showed no significant differences between groups.CBHA facilitated faster progression to weight-bearing[MD:-11.92,95%CI(-22.46,-1.39),P=0.03]and a lower incidence of prosthetic loosening[risk ratio:0.21,95%CI(0.05,0.92),P=0.04].Refracture and thrombus formation rates were comparable between the two groups.CONCLUSION CBHA offers shorter weight-bearing duration and reduced prosthetic loosening but incurs greater blood loss and longer operative times compared to PFNA.Both techniques show comparable functional recovery,hospital stay,refracture,and thrombus risks.Clinical choice should prioritize early mobilization or surgical minimalism,guided by patient needs.Further prospective studies are warranted.

文摘Background and Objective Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the progression of coronary artery disease(CAD).High-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP)serves as a well-established biomarker for assessing cardiovascular inflammation risk.However,the specific intestinal microbiota alteration contributing to increased inflammation remains unclear.Therefore,the present study investigated the correlation between the intestinal microbiota and inflammation in patients with unstable angina(UA).Methods A cohort of 92 patients with UA was recruited for this study.The plasma hsCRP level was measured via a CardioPhase hsCRP assay,fecal samples were collected after admission,and 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted to identify the fecal microbial profile.The participants were classified into two groups according to the median hsCRP level(1.11 mg/L).The composition of the fecal microbiota was compared between patients with hsCRP≥1.11 mg/L and those with hsCRP<1.11 mg/L.Additionally,the correlations between the fecal microbiota and clinical characteristics were analyzed.Results A notable reduction in the relative abundance of Akkermansia was observed in patients with hsCRP≥1.11 mg/L,whereas the diversity of the fecal microbiota was not significantly different between patients with hsCRP≥1.11 mg/L and those with hsCRP<1.11 mg/L.Furthermore,the abundance of Akkermansia was negatively correlated with hsCRP levels.Conclusion This study suggested a significant association between decreased levels of Akkermansia and inflammatory risk in patients with UA.These findings underscore the potential role of the intestinal microbiota in contributing to inflammation in UA patients.Further work is needed on the mechanism by which the microbiota contributes to inflammatory risk.

文摘BACKGROUND Pedicle screw fixation is frequently used to treat unstable thoracolumbar injuries;however,the rate of instrumentation failure remains considerable.The primary contributing factor leading to instrumentation failure is poor bone quality.On the other hand,some evidence suggests that surgical tactics can influence long-term instrumentation stability.AIM To assess factors that influence the stability of spinal instrumentation in patients with thoracolumbar injuries.METHODS This study is a non-randomized single center ambispective evaluation of 204 consecutive patients(117 men;87 women)with unstable thoracolumbar injuries.All patients underwent either stand-alone or combined with anterior column reconstruction instrumentation.In cases with spinal cord and nerve root injuries,either posterior or anterior decompression were performed.Patients with pedicle screw loosening were identified via computed tomography imaging.Out of those,cases with clinically significant instrumentation failure were registered.RESULTS The rate of pedicle screw loosening detected by computed tomography was inversely correlated with bone radiodensity figures and an increased association with the number of instrumented levels,residual kyphotic deformity,laminectomy,and lumbosacral fixation.Intermediate screws and anterior reconstruction were associated with a clinically relevant decreased risk of pedicle screw loosening development.Either complete or partial posterior fusion within instrumented levels was capable of decreasing instrumentation failure risk,while extensive decompression with laminectomy and at least one-level total facetectomy were associated with an increased risk of instrumentation failure.Anterior decompression does not have a negative impact on instrumentation stability.CONCLUSION Intermediate screws,anterior reconstruction and posterior tension band preservation are associated with decreased rates of instrumentation instability development.Posterior fusion is beneficial in terms of instrumentation failure prevention.
文摘In this paper,a nonlinear control approach for an unstable networked plant in the presence of actuator and sensor limitations using robust right coprime factorization is proposed.The actuator is limited by upper and lower constraints and the sensor in the feedback loop is subjected to network-induced unknown time-varying delay and noise.With this nonlinear control method,we first employ right coprime factorization based on isomorphism and operator theory to factorize the plant,so that bounded input bounded output(BIBO)stability can be guaranteed.Next,continuous-time generalized predictive control(CGPC)is utilized for the unstable operator of the right coprime factorized plant to guarantee inner stability and enables the closed-loop dynamics of the system with predictive characteristics.Meanwhile,a second-Do F(degrees of freedom)switched controller that satisfies a perturbed Bezout identity and a robustness condition is designed.By using the CGPC controller that possesses predictive behavior and the second-Do F switched stabilizer,the overall stability of the plant subjected to actuator limitations is guaranteed.To address sensor limitations that exist in networked plants in the form of delay and noise which often cause system performance degradation,we implement an identity operator definition in the feedback loop to compensate for these adverse effects.Further,a pre-operator is designed to ensure that the plant output tracks the reference input.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme is demonstrated by simulations.

文摘Convectively unstable processes caused by dense water subsidence are common occurrences in high-latitude oceanic regions,and significantly modulate mass and heat transport and mixing processes in the ocean.An idealized numerical experiment using the large eddy simulation method was conducted to analyze the three-dimensional flow field structure and the mechanism for dense water subsidence.Specifically,a negative salt flux is set at the sea surface,in which salt flux enters the sea surface to simulate the icing and salting-out phenomena that occur at high latitudes.Results show that the mean-state 3D flow field of dense water subsidence exhibits a hollow conical distribution.The horizontal flow field is characterized by a cyclonic vortex that driven primarily by the pressure gradient and influenced by the Coriolis effect.Moreover,the inverse vertical pressure gradient generated by this vortex inhibits the sinking of the plume,leading to its off-axis deflection and the development of an anticyclonic precession.In addition,the impact of rotation on the structure of a sinking plume within a stratified environment is discussed.Both horizontal vortex intensity and cone angle of the hollow cone flow field are increased with increasing rotation rate,resulting in a decrease in the plume’s maximum sinking depth.Variances in rotation direction cause the horizontal vortex and sinking plumes of dense water in the northern and southern hemispheres to rotate in opposite directions.
文摘Objective:To evaluate and analyze the actual efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of old unstable osteoporotic spinal fractures.Methods:From March 2023 to March 2024,46 patients with old unstable osteoporotic spinal fractures in our hospital were included in this study.They were divided into the conventional group and the observation group based on treatment differences,with 23 patients in each group.The conventional group received conservative drug therapy,while the observation group underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty.The following indicators were compared and analyzed between the two groups:clinical treatment effect and improvement in physical function indicators.Results:The treatment efficiency of the observation group was 95.65%(22/23),while that of the conventional group was 69.57%(16/23).There was a significant difference between the groups,and the treatment effect of the observation group was significantly better(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of physical status,daily living ability,functional independence,and life obstacles in the observation group were(89.33±4.08),(88.72±4.08),(90.41±2.89),(72.35±3.22),respectively,while those in the conventional group were(68.54±4.21),(67.42±4.11),(73.48±2.75),(72.35±3.22).There was a significant difference between the groups,and the improvement in physical function indicators in the observation group was more pronounced(P<0.05).Conclusion:For patients with old unstable osteoporotic spinal fractures,the basic value of percutaneous vertebroplasty is significant.It can not only improve clinical efficacy and safety but also promote the gradual recovery of patients'physical function indicators.It is recommended for clinical reference and practical application.

文摘Understanding the unstable evolution of railway slopes is the premise for preventing slope failure and ensuring the safe operation of trains.However,as two major factors affecting the stability of railway slopes,few scholars have explored the unstable evolution of railway slopes under the joint action of rainfall-vibration.Based on the model test of sandy soil slope,the unstable evolution process of slope under locomotive vibration,rainfall,and rainfall-vibration joint action conditions was simulated in this paper.By comparing and analyzing the variation trends of soil pressure and water content of slope under these conditions,the change laws of pore pressure under the influence of vibration and rainfall were explored.The main control factors affecting the stability of slope structure under the joint action conditions were further defined.Combined with the slope failure phenomena under these three conditions,the causes of slope instability resulting from each leading factor were clarified.Finally,according to the above conclusions,the unstable evolution of the slope under the rainfall-vibration joint action was determined.The test results show that the unstable evolution process of sandy soil slope,under the rainfall-vibration joint action,can be divided into:rainfall erosion cracking,vibration promotion penetrating,and slope instability sliding three stages.In the process of slope unstable evolution,rainfall and vibration play the roles of inducing and promoting slide respectively.In addition,the deep cracks,which are the premise for the formation of the sliding surface,and the violent irregular fluctuation of soil pressure,which reflects the near penetration of the sliding surface,constitute the instability characteristics of the railway slope together.This paper reveals the unstable evolution of sandy soil slopes under the joint action of rainfall-vibration,hoping to provide the theoretical basis for the early warning and prevention technology of railway slopes.
文摘BACKGROUND Coronary stent implantation is usually used to treat unstable angina to alleviate stenosis or occlusion,promoting blood flow restoration and alleviating symptoms such as myocardial ischemia.And postoperative cardiac rehabilitation is essential for enhancing recovery and prognosis.Nevertheless,conventional rehabilitation lacks specificity,particularly for elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and poor compliance,rendering it less effective.AIM To investigate the effects of systematic cardiac rehabilitation training in elderly patients with unstable angina following coronary stenting intervention.METHODS A retrospective enrollment was conducted comprising fifty-four elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris who underwent systematic cardiac rehabilitation training after receiving coronary intervention as the rehabilitation group,while fifty-three elderly patients who received basic nursing and rehabilitation guidance measures after coronary intervention were assigned to the control group.Differences in Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores,survival quality(SF-36)scores,cardiopulmonary exercise function assessment index,echocardiographic cardiac function index,and adverse cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups.RESULTS After intervention,the rehabilitation group observed greater VO2 Max,maximum metabolic equivalent,eft ventricular ejection fraction,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and smaller left ventricular end-systolic diameter.And the rehabilitation group observed greater scores of physical activity limitation,stable angina pectoris,treatment satisfaction,and SF-36 score.The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the two groups,showed no significant difference.CONCLUSION Systematic cardiac rehabilitation following coronary stenting in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris can enhance cardiac function recovery,consequently enhancing both quality of life and cardiopulmonary exercise tolerance.
文摘BACKGROUND Among the most frequent hip fractures are trochanteric fractures,which usually occur from low-energy trauma like minor falls,especially in older people with osteoporotic bones.AIM To evaluate the treatment efficacy of dynamic condylar screws(DCS)and proximal femoral nails(PFN)for unstable intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS To find pertinent randomized controlled trials and retrospective observational studies comparing PFN with DCS for the management of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures,a thorough search was carried out.For research studies published between January 1996 and April 2024,PubMed,EMBASE,Scopus,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,and Google Scholar were all searched.The complete texts of the papers were retrieved,vetted,and independently examined by two investigators.Disputes were settled by consensus,and any disagreements that persisted were arbitrated by a third author.RESULTS This study included six articles,comprising a total of 173 patients.Compared to the DCS,the PFN had a shorter operation time[mean difference(MD):-41.7 min,95%confidence interval(95%CI):-63.04 to-20.35,P=0.0001],higher success rates with closed reduction techniques[risk ratio(RR):34.05,95%CI:11.12-104.31,P<0.00001],and required less intraoperative blood transfusion(MD:-1.4 units,95%CI:-1.80 to-1.00,P<0.00001).Additionally,the PFN showed shorter fracture union time(MD:-6.92 wk,95%CI:-10.27 to-3.57,P<0.0001)and a lower incidence of reoperation(RR:0.37,95%CI:0.17-0.82,P=0.01).However,there was no discernible variation regarding hospital stay,implant-related complications,and infections.CONCLUSION Compared to DCS,PFN offers shorter operative times,reduces the blood transfusions requirements,achieves higher closed reduction success,enables faster fracture healing,and lowers reoperation incidence.
文摘Objective:To analyze the effect of using continuity of care for elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)with unstable angina pectoris(UAP)and its impact on their quality of life.Methods:100 cases of elderly patients with CHD with UAP admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected and grouped into an observation group and a control group of 50 cases each according to the randomized number table method.The nursing effect and quality of life of the observation group(continuity nursing)and the control group(routine nursing)were compared.Results:The total effective rate of nursing care was 96.00%observation group and 80.00%for the control group,and the differences were significant(χ2=6.061,P<0.05).Patients in the observation group had fewer episodes(1.42±0.21)times/week and a shorter duration(5.46±0.39)min,which were better than the control group(t=3.465,2.973;P<0.05).The depression self-rating depression scale(SDS)score(42.16±6.64)and anxiety self-rating scale(SAS)score(32.26±7.35)in the observation group were lower and the quality of life was higher as compared to that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Continuous nursing care improved the nursing effect of elderly CHD with UAP patients,promoted the alleviation of UAP symptoms,improved patient mentality,and improved their quality of life.Hence,continuous nursing care possesses significant clinical application value.
文摘Purpose: The proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) is known to have advantages in enhancing the anchorage ability of internal fixation in elderly unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture patients. However whether it is superior to condylar blade fixation is not clear. This study aimed to determine which treatment has better clinical outcomes in older patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 86 patients over the age of 60 with unstable trochanteric fractures within the past 3 weeks, were included in this prospective study conducted from June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2021. All the intertrochanteric fractures were classified according to AO/OTA classification. Among them, 44 cases were treated with the Proximal Femoral Nail (PFNA2) with or without an augmentation screw, and 42 cases were treated with the Condylar Blade Plate. In addition, the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, postoperative weight-bearing time, hospitalization time, Harris score of hip function, Kyle’s criteria and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results: The mean duration of surgery for the PFN group was 66.8 minutes (on average), whereas for the condylar blade plate group, it was 99.30 minutes (on average). The PFNA2 group experienced less blood loss (average of 80 mL) compared to the condylar blade plate group (average of 120 mL). Union and partial weight-bearing occurred earlier in the PFNA2 group (14.1 weeks and 10.6 weeks, respectively) compared to the Condylar blade plate group (18.7 weeks and 15.8 weeks). In two patients from the PFNA2 group, screw backing out and varus collapse complications were encountered;however, these patients remained asymptomatic and did not require revision surgery. In two other patients, screw cut out and breakage of the nail at the helical screw hole leading to non-union of the proximal femur were observed during the nine-month follow-up, necessitating revision surgery with prosthetic replacement. Among the condylar blade plate group, three patients experienced complications, including blade breakage at the blade and plate junction. In two cases, the fracture united in varus, and in one case, the blade cut through, resulting in non-union of the femoral head, which required revision surgery. According to the Harris hip score and Kyle’s criteria, a good-excellent outcome was observed in 92.85% of cases in the PFNA2 group and 90.90% of cases in the condylar blade plate group. Conclusion: Both the Proximal Femoral Nail A2 and Condylar blade plate are effective implants for the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures. The intramedullary implant promotes biological healing and allows for early ambulation with minimal complications. Similarly satisfactory restoration of anatomy and favorable radiological and functional results can be achieved with the biological fixation provided by the 95-degree condylar blade plate. However, the use of PFNA2 internal fixation technique has the advantage of less trauma in elderly patients than the 95-degree condylar blade plate.

文摘A method is proposed for prediction of the unstable deformation in hot forging process using both the determined thermomechnical parameter windows of the unstable deformation zones and finite element simulation. Taking Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si alloy as the testing material, the thermomechnical parameter windows of the unstable deformation zones for the Ti-alloy are integrated into a commercial finite element simulation software platform. The distribution and variation of the unstable deformation zones of the alloy in hot compression process are simulated and predicted using the tailor-made finite element codes in the finite element platform. The simulation results tally with the physical experiments and the proposed method for simulation and prediction of the unstable deformation is thus verified and its efficiency is validated.

文摘The research on the rock burst prediction was made on the basis of seismology,rock mechanics and the data from Dongguashan Copper Mine(DCM) ,the deepest metal mine in China.The seismic responses to mining in DCM were investigated through the analyses of the spatio-temporal distribution of hypocenters,apparent stress and displacement of seismic events,and the process of the generation of hazardous seismicity in DCM was studied in the framework of the theory of asperity in the seismic source mechanism.A method of locating areas with hazardous seismicity and a conceptual model of hazardous seismic nucleation in DCM were proposed.A criterion of rockburst prediction was analyzed theoretically in the framework of unstable failure theories,and consequently,the rate of change in the ratio of the seismic stiffness of rock in a seismic nucleation area to that in surrounding area,dS/dt,is defined as an index of the rockburst prediction.The possibility of a rockburst will increase if dS/dt>0,and the possibility of rock burst will decrease if dS/dt<0.The correctness of these methods is demonstrated by analyses of rock failure cases in DCM.

文摘OBJECTIVE: To undertake a systematic review and network meta-analysis(NMA) to compare the effectiveness among the different regimens of Salvia miltiorrhiza injection classes(SMICs) for unstable angina pectoris(UAP) treatment.METHODS: A systematic retrieval was conducted in several literature databases to identify randomized controlled trials focusing on the different regimens of SMICs for UAP treatment until January2016. The quality assessment was accomplished according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Pair-wise meta-analyses were carried out by Rev Man 5.3. A random-effects model of NMA was used to compare the different regimens of SMICs with regard to efficacy by STATA 13.0.RESULTS: A total of 111 studies involving 10 500patients were included in the NMA. The methodological quality of included studies was not high.Current evidence shows that salvianolate(SI) is the optimal treatment for UAP in improving the total efficacy against UAP. Guanxingning(GXN) is the optimal treatment for UAP for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.CONCLUSION: SMICs have advantages in preventing cardiovascular events. GXN, SI, and Danhong had the greatest probability of being the best treatment in the total efficacy against UAP and for improving the total effectiveness of electrocardiography.

文摘Millimeter wave(mmWave) communications of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) have drawn dramatic attentions for its flexibility on a variety of applications.Recently,channel tracking base on the spatial features has been proposed to solve the problem of beam misalignments due to the UAV navigation.However,unstable beam pointing caused by the non-ideal beam tracking environment may impact the performance of mmWave systems significantly.In this paper,an improved beamforming method is presented to overcome this shortcoming.Firstly,the effect of the beam deviation is analyzed through the establishment of the equivalent data rate.Then,combining the quantification of spatial angle and the improved orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP) algorithm,an optimized beam corresponding to the beam deviation is obtained.Simulation results show that the optimized beam of the proposed approach can effectively improve the spectral efficiency without improving the complexity when the beam pointing is unstable.

文摘Unstable angina（UA） is the most dangerous type of Coronary Heart Disease（CHD） to cause more and more mortal and morbid world wide. Identification of biomarkers for UA at the level of proteomics and metabolomics is a better avenue to understand the inner mechanism of it. Feature selection based data mining method is better suited to identify biomarkers of UA. In this study, we carried out clinical epidemiology to collect plasmas of UA in-patients and controls. Proteomics and metabolomics data were obtained via two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and gas chromatography techniques. We presented a novel computational strategy to select biomarkers as few as possible for UA in the two groups of data. Firstly, decision tree was used to select biomarkers for UA and 3-fold cross validation was used to evaluate computational performanees for the three methods. Alternatively, we combined inde- pendent t test and classification based data mining method as well as backward elimination technique to select, as few as possible, protein and metabolite biomarkers with best classification performances. By the method, we selected 6 proteins and 5 metabolites for UA. The novel method presented here provides a better insight into the pathology of a disease.
