Automatic detection model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy based on deep convolutional neural network / 生物医学工程学杂志

The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is of great significance for the early risk classification of sudden cardiac death and the screening of family genetic diseases. This research proposed a HCM automatic detection method based on convolution neural network (CNN) model, using single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal as the research object. Firstly, the R-wave peak locations of single-lead ECG signal were determined, followed by the ECG signal segmentation and resample in units of heart beats, then a CNN model was built to automatically extract the deep features in the ECG signal and perform automatic classification and HCM detection. The experimental data is derived from 108 ECG records extracted from three public databases provided by PhysioNet, the database established in this research consists of 14,459 heartbeats, and each heartbeat contains 128 sampling points. The results revealed that the optimized CNN model could effectively detect HCM, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 95.98%, 98.03% and 95.79% respectively. In this research, the deep learning method was introduced for the analysis of single-lead ECG of HCM patients, which could not only overcome the technical limitations of conventional detection methods based on multi-lead ECG, but also has important application value for assisting doctor in fast and convenient large-scale HCM preliminary screening.

Construction and expression of disulphide stabilized anti-CD3/anti-Pgp diabody / 生物工程学报

We constructed and expressed an anti-CD3/anti-Pgp (P-glycoprotein) diabody previously. However, the two chains of diabody are associated non-covalently, resulting in being capable of dissociating. The aim of this study is to enhance the stability of the diabody. We introduced cysteine residues into the CD3 or Pgp V-domain to covalently lock the two chains together. The disulphide crosslinked diabody were expressed by Escherichia coli (E. coli) 16C9 and purified by a cation exchange column and an anti-Etag affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were verified through SDS-PAGE. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to analyse the binding properties, competitive binding capacity and stability in vitro. The dsPpg-diabody failed to form disulphide bond properly. The designed disulphide bridge between the different chains of dsCD3-diabody was formed correctly. FCM demonstrated the dsCD3-diabody has specific antigen binding activity, the same binding activity and competitive binding activity as its parent diabody. The dsCD3-diabody retained the full activity even after 72 h incubation at 37 degrees C in human serum, in contrast, the parent diabody began to lose activity after only 1 h and lose all its activity 24 hours later. The induced disulphide bond in the CD3 V-domain effectively enhanced the stability of anti-CD3/anti-Pgp diabody. The method of stabilizing a diabody by introducing a disulphide bond into is practical.

Usefulness of Procalcitonin in the Assessing the Severity of Community-Acquired Pneumonia Patient / 결핵및호흡기질환

BACKGROUND: Thus far, research studies on community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) have focused on its clinical severity. Recently, it has been determined that procalcitonin (PCT) level is correlated with severity of CAP. A retrospective study conducted at our hospital used risk predictability and PCT to determine whether or no PCT is useful in assessing the severity of CAP. METHODS: This study covered 92 CAP cases that were admitted to the respiratory department at Changwon Fatima Hospital between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. All enrolled subjects were measured for infection markers and risk predictability. RESULTS: Based on hospital admission data, enrolled subjects had Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) scores serving as risk predictors showed that both PCT and white blood cell (WBC) were statistically significant as infection markers (p=0.001, 0.037). Thus, this study used ROC curves in PSI for data analysis. As a result, it was determined that the area under curve (AUC) of PCT and WBC was 0.694 and 0.593 respectively, indicating that PCT has a higher test value for WBC, when PCT was higher than 0.745 ng/mL. In addition, it was found that PCT levels higher than 0.745 ng/mL had higher PSI scores than the group with PCT lower than 0.745 ng/mL (p=0.032). CONCLUSION: In order to predict risk of pneumonia cases admitted due to symptoms of CAP, it is important to consider PCT as well as PSI, and follow-up monitoring of PCT cases.

A Case of Intravesical Cidofovir Treatment of BK Virus-Associated Hemorrhagic Cystitis after Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation / 영남의대학술지

Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a common complication after allogeneic transplantation. Early posttransplant HC occurs in association with cyclophosphamide, while later on HC results from viral infections such as polyomavirus BK (BKV) and adenovirus. We report here the case of a 57-year-old woman who received an instillation of cidofovir into the bladder for the treatment of hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation for her acute myeloid leukemia. Cyclophosphamide and busulfan were used as conditioning treatments. Cyclosporin was administered daily. On the 71st day after transplantation, the patient developed acute severe hemorrhagic cystitis, and BK virus was demonstrated in the urine samples using polymerase chain reaction. Her urinary symptoms did not improve in spite of palliative treatment, but a response was evident after intravesical cidofovir treatment.

Study on the construction and expression of the human 4-1BBL extracellular domain/anti-CD20 Fab' fusion protein / 生物工程学报

Several studies have demonstrated the role of 4-1BBL in T cell activation. Furthermore, enhanced 4-1BB/4-1BBL interaction has been shown to amplify T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity in several mouse models. However, when applied in humans, it was difficult to generate sufficient T cells ex vivo and whole cell vaccines to transfer back into patients. To overcome this difficulty, we have focused on producing the human 4-1BBL extracellular domain/anti-CD20 Fab' fusion protein. In this report, PCR and overlap PCR were used to construct the human 4-1BBL extracellular domain/anti-CD20 Fab' expression vector. DNA sequence was analyzed by the Terminus of Dideoxy Nucleotide. The product was purified by affinity chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and HPLC; its antigen binding activity was examined by rosetting assay. The data of DNA sequence showed that the human 4-1BBL extracellular domain/anti-CD20 Fab' fusion protein was corrected. The fusion protein was recovered in high yield (up to 200 microg/mL) after E-taq purification. The fusion protein was capable of simultaneous binding to stimulated Jurkat cells and Raji cells as shown by cellular rosetting. In conclusion, the human 4-1BBL extracellular domain/anti-CD20 Fab' fusion protein was induced to express in E. coli 16C9. The results of some biological activity experiments indicated that the fusion protein could bind to stimulated Jurkat cells and Raji cells. Furthermore, 4-1BBL-negative tumors can be converted into 4-1BBL-positive tumors by the fusion protein without the need for 4-1BBL gene transfer to the malignant cells.
