MicroRNA Target Prediction Based on Support Vector Machine Ensemble Classification Algorithm of Under-sampling Technique / 生物医学工程学杂志

Considering the low accuracy of prediction in the positive samples and poor overall classification effects caused by unbalanced sample data of MicroRNA (miRNA) target, we proposes a support vector machine (SVM)-integration of under-sampling and weight (IUSM) algorithm in this paper, an under-sampling based on the ensemble learning algorithm. The algorithm adopts SVM as learning algorithm and AdaBoost as integration framework, and embeds clustering-based under-sampling into the iterative process, aiming at reducing the degree of unbalanced distribution of positive and negative samples. Meanwhile, in the process of adaptive weight adjustment of the samples, the SVM-IUSM algorithm eliminates the abnormal ones in negative samples with robust sample weights smoothing mechanism so as to avoid over-learning. Finally, the prediction of miRNA target integrated classifier is achieved with the combination of multiple weak classifiers through the voting mechanism. The experiment revealed that the SVM-IUSW, compared with other algorithms on unbalanced dataset collection, could not only improve the accuracy of positive targets and the overall effect of classification, but also enhance the generalization ability of miRNA target classifier.

Clinical Efficacy Observation of Zhishanghan Zhufeng Formula in Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Zhishanghan Zhufeng Formula in treating knee osteoarthritis.Methods Totally 90 patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 45 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Zhishanghan Zhufeng Formula for 30 days. The control group was treated with routine medicine (diclofenac sodium sustained release tablets and glucosamine sulfate tablets) for 30 days. The clinical efficacy and the changes of VAS, WOMAC score and knee temperature before and after treatment of two groups were observed.Results TCM clinical symptoms were significantly improved, and the effects in the treatment group were more evident compared with the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, VAS and WOMAC score of the two groups decreased obviously, while the knee temperature increased, and the treatment group was superior to the control group, with significant significance (P<0.05).Conclusion Zhishanghan Zhufeng Formula has effective clinical efficacy for knee osteoarthritis.

Analysis of 13 cases of low-pressure laparoscopic appendectomy during pregnancy / 中国综合临床

Objective To investigate the value of low-pressure laparoscopic technique for appendicitis surgery during early and mid-term pregnancy.Methods The clinical data of 13 pregnant women underwent low-pressure laparoscopic appendectomy from July 2007 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Results All the 13 cases were performed laparoscopic appendectomy successfully without laparotomy and cured completely before discharged from hospital No intestinal fistula,wound infection,abortion and other complications occurred.During follow-up,9 cases of full-term pregnancy patients gave birth to healthy babies,and there was no abortion and premature delivery on 4 patients still in their pregnancy.Conclusion For women at early or mid-term pregnancy with acute appendicitis,low-pressure laparoscopic appendectomy could reduce the stimulus of surgical operation on uterus and decrease the risk of abortion.
