The estimation of fiducial points is specially important in the analysis and automatic diagnose of Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals.A new algorithm which could be easily implemented is presented to accomplish this task.Its methodology is rather simple, and starts from some ideas available in the literature combined with new approachs provided by the authors. First, aQRScomplex detection algorithm is presented based on the computation of energy maxima in ECG signals which allow the measurement of cardiac frequency (in beats per minute) and the estimation of R peaks temporal positions (in number of samples). From these ones, an estimation of fiducial points Q, S, J, P and T waves onset and offset points are worked out, supported in a simple modified slope method with constraints.The location process of fiducial points is assisted with the help of the so called curvature filters, which allow to improve the accuracy in this task.The procedure is simulated in Matlab and GNU Octave by using test signals from the MIT medical database, Cardiosim II equipment patterns and synthetic signals developed by the authors.One of the novelties of this work is the global strategy. Also, another significant innovation is the introduction of the curvature filters. We think this concept will prove to be a useful tool in signal processing, not only in ECG analysis.
在心电信号的分析和自动诊断中,基准点的估计尤为重要。为了完成这一任务,提出了一种易于实现的新算法。其方法相当简单,从文献中的一些想法出发,结合作者提供的新方法。首先,基于ECG信号中能量最大值的计算,提出了QRScomplex检测算法,该算法允许测量心率(以每分钟心跳为单位)和估计R峰值的时间位置(以样本数量为单位)。根据这些结果,计算出了基准点Q、S、J、P和T波的起始点和偏移点的估计,并用一种带约束的简单修正斜率法进行了支持。基准点的定位过程是在所谓的曲率滤波器的帮助下进行的,这可以提高该任务的精度。使用来自麻省理工学院医学数据库的测试信号、Cardiosim II设备模式和作者开发的合成信号,在Matlab和GNU Octave中模拟了该过程。这项工作的新颖之处之一是全球战略。此外,另一个重要的创新是引入了曲率滤波器。我们认为这一概念将被证明是信号处理中的一个有用工具,而不仅仅是在心电图分析中。

Horizontal gene transfer of mobile genetic elements is an essential component of prokaryotic evolution. These insertion events in eukaryotes and particularly in the human genome have been investigated by various methodologies with varying results. In this paper, we implement a sequence composition approach to investigate insertions of genomic islands in the human genome. A modified version of a prokaryotic GI identifier, SeqWord Gene Island Sniffer v.2.0, was used to predict genomic islands in the hg38 version of the human genome. Predicted genomic islands were enriched with long non-coding RNAs and also contributed to the acquisition and modification of proteins associated with the immune system and gonad development, albeit to a lesser extent. The estimated rate of acquisition of these genomic islands in vertebrate genomes was non-linear with regards to species divergence times with an acceleration at the time of vertebrate land invasion and during the transition of prosimians to monkeys soon after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction. The rapid acquisition of non-conserved long non-coding RNAs in the human genome and probably in vertebrata genomes was facilitated by horizontal gene transfer. All predicted human genomic islands and supporting information are freely accessible from http://hislands.bi.up.ac.za.
移动遗传元件的水平基因转移是原核进化的重要组成部分。在真核生物中,特别是在人类基因组中,这些插入事件已经通过各种方法进行了研究,结果各不相同。在本文中,我们实现了一种序列组成方法来研究人类基因组中基因组岛的插入。原核GI标识符的修改版本SeqWord基因岛Sniffer v.2.0被用于预测人类基因组hg38版本中的基因组岛。预测的基因组岛富含长的非编码RNA,也有助于获得和修饰与免疫系统和性腺发育相关的蛋白质,尽管程度较低。脊椎动物基因组中这些基因组岛的估计获取率与物种分化时间有关是非线性的,在脊椎动物入侵陆地时以及白垩纪-古近纪灭绝后不久原体向猴子过渡期间,这种速度加快。水平基因转移促进了在人类基因组中以及可能在脊椎动物基因组中快速获得非保守的长非编码RNA。所有预测的人类基因组岛和支持信息都可以从http://hislands.bi.up.ac.za.

Computational Pharmacogenetics of P-Glycoprotein Mediated Antiepileptic Drug Resistance p糖蛋白介导的抗癫痫药物耐药性的计算药物遗传学研究

The treatment of epilepsy using antiepileptogenic drugs is complicated by drug resistance, resulting in treatment failure in more than one-third of cases. Human P-glycoprotein (hPGP;MDR1) is a known epileptogenic mediator.Given that experimental investigations have suggested a role for pharmacogenetics in this treatment failure, it would be of interest to study hPGP polymorphisms that might contribute to the emergence of drug resistance. Changes in protein functional activity could result from mutations as well as altered abundance. Bioinformatics approaches were used to assess and rank the functional impact of 20 missenseMDR1polymorphisms and the top five were selected. The structures of the wildtype and variant hPGP were modelled based on the mouse PGP structure. Docking studies of the wildtype and variant hPGP with four standard anti-epileptic drugs were carried out.Our results revealed that the drug binding site with respect to the wildtype protein was uniform. However, the variant hPGP proteins displayed a repertoire of binding sites with stronger binding affinities towards the drug.Our studies indicated that specific polymorphisms inMDR1could drive conformational changes of PGP structure, facilitating altered contacts with drug-substrates and thus modifying their bioavailability. This suggests thatMDR1polymorphisms could actively contribute to the emergence of pharmaco-resistance in antiepileptic therapy.
使用抗癫痫药物治疗癫痫伴有耐药性,导致三分之一以上的病例治疗失败。人p -糖蛋白(hPGP;MDR1)是一种已知的致痫介质。鉴于实验研究表明药物遗传学在这种治疗失败中起作用,研究可能导致耐药性出现的hPGP多态性将是一项有趣的研究。蛋白质功能活性的变化可能是由突变和丰度改变引起的。利用生物信息学方法对20个missensemdr1多态性的功能影响进行评估和排序,并选出前5个。在小鼠PGP结构的基础上,建立了野生型和变异型hPGP的结构模型。将野生型和变异型hPGP与四种标准抗癫痫药物进行对接研究。我们的结果显示,药物结合位点相对于野生型蛋白是均匀的。然而,变体hPGP蛋白显示出对药物具有更强结合亲和力的结合位点。我们的研究表明,mdr1的特定多态性可以驱动PGP结构的构象变化,促进与药物底物的接触改变,从而改变其生物利用度。这表明mdr多态性可能在抗癫痫治疗中积极促进药物耐药的出现。

This paper studies the relevance of feature selection algorithms in microarray data for effective analysis. With no loss of generality, we present a list of feature selection algorithms and propose a generic categorizing framework that systematically groups algorithms into categories. The generic categorizing framework is based on search strategies and evaluation criteria. Further, it provides guidelines for selecting feature selection algorithms in general and in specific to the context of this study. In the context of microarray data analysis, the feature selection algorithms are classified into soft and non-soft computing categories. Their performance analysis with respect to microarray data analysis has been presented.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a complex and demanding process, exposing Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) to high stress. Recently, efforts have been made in ATC to maintain safety and efficiency in the face of increasing air traffic demands. Computer simulations have been a useful tool for ATC training, improving ATCs skills and consequently traffic safety.This study aims to: a) evaluate psychophysiological indices of stress in an ATC simulation environment using a wearable biomonitoring platform. In order to obtain a measure of ATCs stress levels, results from an experimental study with the same participants, that included a stress-induced task were used as a stress ground truth; b) understand if there are differences in stress levels of ATCs with different job functions (“advisors”vs“operationals”) when performing an ATC Refresher Training, in a simulator environment.Two studies were conducted with ATCs: Study 1, that included a stress-induced task - the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) and Study 2, that included an ATC simulation task. Linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features from ATCs were acquired using a medical-grade wearable Electrocardiogram (ECG) device. Self-reports were used to measure perceived stress.TSST was self-reported as being much more stressful than the simulation task. Physiological data supports these results. Results from study 2 showed more stress among the “advisors” group when comparing to the “operational” group.Results point to the importance of the development of quantified Occupational Health (qOHealth) devices to allow monitoring and differentiation of ATCs stress responses.
空中交通管制(ATC)是一个复杂而苛刻的过程,使空中交通管制员(ATC)承受着很高的压力。面对日益增长的航空交通需求,空管部门近期致力维持安全及效率。计算机模拟已成为空管人员培训的有用工具,可提高空管人员的技能,从而提高交通安全。本研究旨在:a)利用可穿戴生物监测平台评估ATC模拟环境下应激的心理生理指标。为了获得ATCs压力水平的测量,来自同一参与者的实验研究结果,包括压力诱发的任务,被用作压力基础真理;b)了解不同工作职能(“顾问”与“操作”)的空管人员在模拟器环境中进行空管进修培训时,压力水平是否存在差异。两项研究是用ATC进行的:研究1包括一个压力诱发的任务——特里尔社会压力测试(TSST),研究2包括一个ATC模拟任务。线性心率变异性(HRV)特征从atc获得使用医疗级可穿戴心电图(ECG)设备。自我报告被用来测量感知压力。自述的TSST比模拟任务压力大得多。生理学数据支持这些结果。研究2的结果显示,与“操作”组相比,“顾问”组的压力更大。结果表明,开发量化职业健康(qOHealth)设备对于监测和区分ATCs应激反应具有重要意义。

Methods: Participants were ten male with average age 24 ± 1. Firstly, the process of fatigue during sitting was observed by mid-frequency index. For performing the necessary analysis, the 10-second window of time was used. The 15 minutes of time trial was divided into 3 sub-terms. Each sub-term was investigated separately. The sub-terms contain: The beginning of record until the 90th second, from the 90th second to the 600th second and from the 600th second to the 900th second.
方法:男性10例,平均年龄24±1岁。首先,采用中频指数法观察坐姿疲劳过程。为了执行必要的分析,使用了10秒的时间窗口。15分钟计时赛分为3个分项。每个分项分别进行调查。子条款包括:记录开始到90秒,从90秒到600秒,从600秒到900秒。
