Intelligent fault diagnosis expert system for multi-parameter monitor based on fault tree / 生物医学工程学杂志

Aiming at the dilemma of expensive and difficult maintenance, lack of technical data and insufficient maintenance force for modern medical equipment, an intelligent fault diagnosis expert system of multi-parameter monitor based on fault tree was proposed in this study. Firstly, the fault tree of multi-parameter monitor was established and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively, then based on the analysis results of fault tree, the expert system knowledge base and inference engine were constructed and the overall framework of the system was determined, finally the intelligent fault diagnosis expert system for multi-parameter monitor was developed by using the page hypertext preprocessor (PHP) language, with an accuracy rate of 80% in fault diagnosis. The results showed that technology fusion on the basis of fault tree and expert system can effectively realize intelligent fault diagnosis of multi-parameter monitors and provide troubleshooting suggestions, which can not only provide experience accumulation for fault diagnosis of multi-parameter monitors, but also provide a new idea and technical support for fault diagnosis of medical equipment.

Intelligent fault diagnosis of medical equipment based on long short term memory network / 生物医学工程学杂志

In order to solve the current problems in medical equipment maintenance, this study proposed an intelligent fault diagnosis method for medical equipment based on long short term memory network(LSTM). Firstly, in the case of no circuit drawings and unknown circuit board signal direction, the symptom phenomenon and port electrical signal of 7 different fault categories were collected, and the feature coding, normalization, fusion and screening were preprocessed. Then, the intelligent fault diagnosis model was built based on LSTM, and the fused and screened multi-modal features were used to carry out the fault diagnosis classification and identification experiment. The results were compared with those using port electrical signal, symptom phenomenon and the fusion of the two types. In addition, the fault diagnosis algorithm was compared with BP neural network (BPNN), recurrent neural network (RNN) and convolution neural network (CNN). The results show that based on the fused and screened multi-modal features, the average classification accuracy of LSTM algorithm model reaches 0.970 9, which is higher than that of using port electrical signal alone, symptom phenomenon alone or the fusion of the two types. It also has higher accuracy than BPNN, RNN and CNN, which provides a relatively feasible new idea for intelligent fault diagnosis of similar equipment.

Association between polymorphisms of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor gene and the risk of essential hypertension: a case-control study / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective To assess the association between killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene polymorphisms and the risk of hypertension in autoimmune mechanism.Methods We conducted a case-control study including 205 hypertensives and 205 controls matched with sex and age,from a community-based population.KIR genes of all subjects were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP).Conditional logistic regression model and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) method were used to estimate the association among KIR gene polymorphisms and the risk of hypertension.Results The genotypic frequencies of KIRs were not significantly different between the hypertensives and the control groups (P＞0.05).Among all the models of GMDR concerning the association between interactions of KIR genes and essential hypertension,the testing accuracy of the interaction between K/R2DS2 and KIR2DS3 was the highest (55.13％),with cross-validation consistency as 10/10 (P=0.054).Results from the conditional logistic regression showed that individuals with KIR2DS2 +:KIR2DS3-were significantly associated with an increased risk on hypertension (OR=2.555,95％CI:1.203-5.429,P=0.015).However,individuals with KIR2DS2 +:KIR2DS3 + were significantly associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (0R=0.268,95％ CI:0.088-0.815,P=0.020).Individuals with KIR2DS2-KIR2DS3 + did not seem to be associated with the risk of hypertension (0R=1.602,95％ C I:0.785-3.266,P=0.195),when compared to the KIR2DS2-KIR2DS3-group.Interactions between KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS3 were significantly associated with the risk of hypertension,after adjusted for BMI,smoking,drinking and family history of hypertension (OR=0.065,95％CI:0.013-0.317,P=0.001).Conclusion Individuals with KIR2DS2 and no KIR2DS3 were associated with the increased risk of hypertension.KIR2DS2 that coexisted with KIR2DS3 were associated with the reduced risk of hypertension.Antagonism between KIR2DS2 and KIR2DS3 might serve as a protect factor for hypertension.

Combined action of C-reactive protein and lipid profiles on risk of hypertension and prehypertension in Mongolian adults in Inner Mongolia, China / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Many studies have suggested that C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood lipids are associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, few studies discussed the combined action of CRP and blood lipids on the risk of hypertension and prehypertension. This study aimed to investigate the combined action of CRP and lipid profiles on the risk of hypertension and prehypertension in Mongolian adults from Inner Mongolia, China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The systolic and diastolic blood pressure, height, weight and waist circumference were measured and factors such as smoking, alcohol intake, family history of hypertension, etc., were investigated and CRP, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) were tested for 2 534 Mongolian adults aged ≥ 20 years. The subjects were divided into four subgroups, namely CRP <median and LDL-C (TG) <median subgroup, CRP <median and LDL-C (TG) >median subgroup, CRP >median and LDL-C (TG) <median subgroup and CRP >median and LDL-C (TG) >median subgroup. The ORs (95% CIs) of hypertension and prehypertension for the subgroups were calculated by univariate and multivariate analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The multivariate adjusted ORs (95%CIs) of hypertension/prehypertension were 1.389 (0.979-1.970)/1.151(0.865-1.531), 1.666 (1.159-2.394)/1.431 (1.060-1.930), 1.756 (1.242-2.484)/ 1.770 (1.321-2.372), for CRP <median and LDL-C >median subgroup, CRP >median and LDL-C <median subgroup, and CRP >median and LDL-C >median subgroup, respectively, compared with CRP <median and LDL-C <median subgroup. Similarly, the multivariate adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of hypertension/prehypertension were 2.032 (1.394-2.963)/1.442 (1.047-1.988), 1.412 (0.960-2.079)/1.596 (1.166-2.184), and 2.197 (1.595-3.027)/1.730 (1.321-2.266) for CRP <median and TG >median subgroup, CRP >median and TG <median subgroup, and CRP >median and TG >median subgroup, respectively, compared with CRP <median and TG <median subgroup. The risks of hypertension and prehypertension were the highest in the CRP >median and LDL-C (TG) >median subgroup among the four subgroups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Subjects with both CRP >median and LDL-C (TG) >median had highest risks of hypertension and prehypertension among all subjects. This study appeared to indicate that the combined action of elevated CRP and elevated LDL-C (TG) further increase the risks of hypertension and prehypertension among Mongolian population.</p>
