[Decomposition of Interference Hyperspectral Images Using Improved Morphological Component Analysis].

As the special imaging principle of the interference hyperspectral image data, there are lots of vertical interference stripes in every frames. The stripes' positions are fixed, and their pixel values are very high. Horizontal displacements also exist in the background between the frames. This special characteristics will destroy the regular structure of the original interference hyperspectral image data, which will also lead to the direct application of compressive sensing theory and traditional compression algorithms can't get the ideal effect. As the interference stripes signals and the background signals have different characteristics themselves, the orthogonal bases which can sparse represent them will also be different. According to this thought, in this paper the morphological component analysis (MCA) is adopted to separate the interference stripes signals and background signals. As the huge amount of interference hyperspectral image will lead to glow iterative convergence speed and low computational efficiency of the traditional MCA algorithm, an improved MCA algorithm is also proposed according to the characteristics of the interference hyperspectral image data, the conditions of iterative convergence is improved, the iteration will be terminated when the error of the separated image signals and the original image signals are almost unchanged. And according to the thought that the orthogonal basis can sparse represent the corresponding signals but cannot sparse represent other signals, an adaptive update mode of the threshold is also proposed in order to accelerate the computational speed of the traditional MCA algorithm, in the proposed algorithm, the projected coefficients of image signals at the different orthogonal bases are calculated and compared in order to get the minimum value and the maximum value of threshold, and the average value of them is chosen as an optimal threshold value for the adaptive update mode. The experimental results prove that whether LASIS and LAMIS image data, the traditional MCA algorithm can separate the interference stripes signals and background signals very well, and make the interference hyperspectral image decomposition perfectly, and the improved MCA algorithm not only keep the perfect results of the traditional MCA algorithm, but also can reduce the times of iteration and meet the iterative convergence conditions much faster than the traditional MCA algorithm, which will also provide a very good solution for the new theory of compressive sensing.

Clinical observation on treatment of chronic allograft nephropathy with colquhounia root tablet combined with immunosuppressive protocol / 中国中西医结合杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of Colquhounia root tablet (CRT) combined with immunosuppressive protocal in treating patients with chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-three patients of CAN, with urinary protein > or = 1.0 g/24 h and serum creatinine (SCr) > or =150 (micromol/L), were assigned to two groups, the 15 in the treated group treated with CRT combining modified immunosuppressive protocol (IIP) therapy and the 18 in the control group treated with IIP alone, all for 6 months. The clinical efficiency, 24 h urinary protein and clearance of creatinine (CCr) were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The effective rate in the treated group [60% (9/15 cases)] was significantly higher than that in the control group [22.0% (4/18 cases), P < 0.05], and the lowering of 24 h urinary protein in the former was more significant than in the latter at the end of the 3rd and the 6th month of treatment (P < 0.05). At the end of 12-month follow-up, SCr and CCr level were stable in the treated group, while in the control group, SCr level increased and CCr level decreased significantly (P < 0.05), comparisons of the two indexes between the two groups at the end of the therapeutic course and follow-up study all showed significant differences (P < 0.05). Serum creatinine doubling to baseline were seen in 2 patients of the treated group and 7 of the control group. One patient in the treated group and 4 in the control group entered the end stage of renal disease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Therapy with CRT combined IIP seems to be more effective in reducing urinary protein excretion in patients with CAN than that with IIP alone, and a more favorable renal function preserving effect of the former is shown by a short-term follow-up.</p>

Nested case-control study on the influence factors of perinatal stage transmission of hepatitis B virus / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To determine the influence factors of perinatal stage transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention of perinatal stag transmission of HBV.@*METHODS@#A 1:1 matched nested case-control study was conducted, and 141 pair of pregnant women with HBsAg-positive and their newborns were enrolled. A questionnaire was performed and blood-related indicators were detected. The data were dealt with single factor analysis and conditional logistic regression analysis using SPSS 13.0 and SAS 8.1.@*RESULTS@#Single factor paired Chi-square test showed that education, first class family history, disfunction of liver, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, systematic treatment, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), fetal distress, and vaccinating hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) were the risk factors of perinatal stage transmission of HBV. Conditional logistic regression analysis indicated that first class family history, vaccinating HBIG, systematic treatment, and ICP were the risk factors of perinatal stage transmission of HBV.@*CONCLUSION@#For women with HB-sAg-positive, active treatment, the standard vaccination of HBIG, and preventing and controlling the incidence of ICP may reduce the incidence of perinatal stage transmission of HBV.

Effect of detoxification, removing stasis and nourishing yin method on corticosteroid-induced hyperlipidemia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus / 中国结合医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of TCM therapy for detoxification, removing stasis, and nourishing yin on corticosteroid-induced hyperlipemia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to investigate its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and seventy patients with SLE were randomly assigned to the integrative medicine group (IM group) and the Western medicine group (WM group), 85 in each group. Also, 30 healthy subjects selected from blood donors were enrolled in the normal control (NC) group. All patients were treated mainly with prednisone, while those in the IM group were given TCM therapy additionally, and the therapeutic course for both groups was 6 successive months. The changes of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and apolipoprotein A (ApoA) were determined and observed. A 2-year follow-up study was carried out in 16 patients of the WM group and 25 of the IM group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Before treatment, no significant difference had been found among the three groups in the serum levels of lipids and lipoproteins. After the 6-month treatment, as compared with the WM group, the IM group showed lower levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, and VLDL-C (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and higher levels of HDL-C and ApoA (P<0.05). A similar effect was also shown by the follow-up study in the IM group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>TCM therapy for detoxification, removing stasis, and nourishing yin can effectively regulate the levels of serum lipids and lipoproteins in preventing and treating SLE patients with corticosteroid-induced hyperlipemia.</p>
