Anomaly Detection of Multivariate Time Series Based on Riemannian Manifolds

Multivariate time series problems widely exist in production and life in the society. Anomaly detection has provided people with a lot of valuable information in financial, hydrological, meteorological fields, and the research areas of earthquake, video surveillance, medicine and others. In order to quickly and efficiently find exceptions in time sequence so that it can be presented in front of people in an intuitive way, we in this study combined the Riemannian manifold with statistical process control charts, based on sliding window, with a description of the covariance matrix as the time sequence, to achieve the multivariate time series of anomaly detection and its visualization. We made MA analog data flow and abnormal electrocardiogram data from MIT-BIH as experimental objects, and verified the anomaly detection method. The results showed that the method was reasonable and effective.

Objective To probe into disorder of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in patients with gallstone,and their position and function in formation of gallstone. MethodsConcentration of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in 94 healthy subjects and 161 patients with gallstones was investigated. ResultsThe gallstone group had a higher serum mean concentration of TG,Apo CⅡ,Apo CⅢ, and had a lower serum mean concentration of TC，HDLc，HDL2c，HDL3c and LDLc as compared with the control group (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05). Conclusion Higher serum mean concentration of TG，Apo CⅡ，Apo CⅢ, and lower serum mean concentration of TC, HDLc, HDL2c, HDL3c and LDLc, are characteristic of lipids metabolism and important cause of formation of gallstone.

Optical coherence tomography observation of retinal paravascular abnormalities in young myopic population

ObjectiveTo observe the abnormal clinical manifestations of retinal blood vessels and the characteristic image characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in young myopia. MethodsA case observation study. From July to December 2020, 523 young patients with different myopia refractive powers who were treated in Department of Ophthalmology of The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included in the study. Among them, 277 were males and 246 were females; the median age was 19.0 (5.0) years. All the affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), frequency domain OCT (SD-OCT) examination and axial length (AL) measurement. The BCVA examination was performed using the Snellen eye chart. The median myopia refractive power of the affected eye was 5.00 (3.25) D. Among them, low myopia, moderate myopia, and high myopia were 227, 405, and 414 eyes, respectively. The average AL of the affected eye was 25.6±2.8 mm. The frequency domain OCT instrument was used to scan the temporal side of the retina, the upper and lower nasal vascular arches and the macular fovea radially. The images of retinal vascular cysts, microfolds, and lamellar hole were acquired and stored. The prevalence, composition ratio, distribution rule and OCT imaging characteristics of retinal paravascular abnormalities were observed and analyzed. The distribution of paravascular abnormalities in the retina was compared by the χ2 test; the age, refractive power, and AL of different paravascular abnormalities were compared by the K-W rank sum test. ResultsOf the 1046 different diopters of myopic eyes, there were 227 eyes in mild myopia, 405 eyes in moderate myopia and 414 eyes in high myopia. Retinal paravascular abnormalities were detected by SD-OCT in 40 eyes (3.8%,40/1046). The prevalence of retinal paravascular abnormalities in moderate myopia was 0.7% (3/405) and high myopia was 8.9% (37/414). No retinal paravascular abnormalities were observed in mild myopia.Retinal paravascular cysts in 40 eyes (3.8%, 40/1046), retinal paravascular microfolds in 28 eyes (2.7%, 28/1046) and retinal paravascular lamellar holes in 13 eyes (1.2%, 13/1046). Of 40 eyes with retinal paravascular abnormalities, retinal paravascular cysts in all 40 eyes (100.0%, 40/40), retinal paravascular microfolds in 28 eyes (70.0%, 28/40) and retinal paravascular lamellar holes in 13 eyes (32.5%, 13/40). Twelve eyes with simple cyst cavity (30.0%, 12/40); 15 eyes were with cyst cavity with micro-wrinkles (37.5%, 15/40); 13 eyes were with cyst cavity, micro-wrinkles and lamellar holes (32.5%, 13/40). The temporal vascular arch retinal paravascular cysts (χ2=25.664), microfolds (χ2=14.973), and lamellar holes (χ2=13.499) were significantly more than those on the nasal side, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.001). ConclusionsThe total prevalence of retinal paravascular abnormalities in young myopia is 3.8%; it can occur in both moderate and high myopia. The paravascular cyst may be the earliest pathology of paravascular abnormalities in the retina. The three paravascular abnormalities are mostly distributed along the temporal arch of the retina.

Risk Factors of Acute Pancreatitis Associated with Hepatic Dysfunction

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors of acute pancreatitis (AP) associated with hepatic dysfunction. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of AP patients from June 2012 to December 2014. According to the hepatic function, patients were divided into normal or mildly abnormal group (A), moderately abnormal hepatic function group (group B) and hepatic failure group (group C). We comparatively analyzed the relationship of abnormal hepatic function with causes (biliary, alcoholic, hypertriglyceridemia, and the others), age, gender, abdominal CT findings, laboratory test results, Ranson scores and the severity of acute pancreatitis bedside index (BISAP). ResultsA total of 117 AP patients were included in the study, including 75 males and 42 females aged from 28 to 71 years with the mean age of (53.21±1.35) years. There were 73 patients with mild AP (MAP), 28 with moderately severe AP (MSAP) and 16 with severe AP (SAP). There were 64 patients in group A, 37 in group B, and 16 in group C, in whom 73 patients were with hepatic dysfunction. The ratio of SAP and MSAP in group C was 75.0%, and MAP was 25.0%. There were 52 patients with bilious AP, 39 with alcoholic AP, 19 with hypertriacylglycerolemia AP, and 7 with others; the difference in causes among the three groups were not significant (P > 0.05). The differences in serum amylase, prothrombin time, white blood cells count, serum creatinine, triglycerides, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, and blood urea nitrogen among the three groups were not significant (P > 0.05). ConclusionsAP associated with hepatic dysfunction or failure may be caused by a various of factors. Whether the changes of serum amylase, prothrombin time, white blood cell count, serum creatinine, triglycerides, total cholesterol, hemoglobin, blood urea nitrogen, and BISAP scores can be the indexes of the judgment of AP with hepatic dysfunction needs more researches. Proper assessment of the related risk factors helps to prevent serious hepatic dysfunction or even failure.

Surgical Treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot with Anomalous Coronary Artery

Abstract: Objective To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with anomalous coronary artery. Methods From March 1993 to April 2006, 22 patients with TOF and anomalous coronary artery underwent repair. The resection of hypertrophied parietal, septal band and the ventricular septal defect (VSD) repairs were performed by trans-right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) approach in 5 cases, and by transatrial approach in 17 cases, which consisted of 7 cases required a transannular patch to enlarge a pulmonary annulus, construction of a double barrel outlet in 6 cases, by autologous pericardium conduit (3 cases), homograft (1 case) and reflected anterior wall of the main pulmonary artery in combination with bovine pericardium (2 cases). Results There was one operative death because of the anomalous coronary artery impairment. The accessory left anterior descending artery was severed because it was mistaken for the conal arteryin 1 case, which caused failure to wean from bypass, after the left internal mammary artery was anastomosed to the accessory left anterior descending artery, the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was stopped successfully. Mean early gradient(ΔP) was 23.4mmHg and ΔP＞20mmHg in 9 cases. Eighteen cases were followed up, mean time was 13.2 months. Late ΔP＞20mmHg in 7 cases, and ΔP were less than 20mmHg in 11 cases. Conclusion The repair of TOF with anomalous coronary artery is more safe by using the transatrial approach. The surgical reconstruction of RVOT depends on the anatomic characteristic of anomalous coronary artery.

【摘要】　目的　了解不同糖代谢状态的人群空腹及口服葡萄糖耐量实验（oral glucose tolerance test，OGTT）餐后胰高血糖素样态-1（GLP-1）和葡萄糖依赖的促胰岛素多态（GIP）水平。　方法　将受试者根据OGTT结果分为3组:正常糖耐量组（NGT，n=61例），糖耐量受损组（IGT，n=53）和2型糖尿病组（T2DM， n=66）。采空腹及糖餐后2 h静脉血检测GLP-1和GIP水平。　结果　T2DM组空腹GLP-1水平低于NGT和IGT组（Plt;0.05）。NGT和IGT的空腹GLP-1水平差异无统计学意义（Pgt;0.05）。餐后GLP-1水平三组差异无统计学意义（Pgt;0.05）。空腹及餐后GIP水平在NGT、IGT和T2DM均呈逐渐增加的趋势，而且同OGTT-0 h和OGTT-2 h血糖水平呈正相关（r=0.384，0.426；Plt;0.05）。　结论　不同的GLP-1和GIP水平也许是IGT和T2DM胰岛素分泌能力不同的原因之一。【Abstract】　Objective　To investigate the fasting, and after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the postprandial levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in Chinese people with different degrees of glucose tolerance.　Methods　Based on the results of OGTT, 180 subjects were divided into three groups: normal glucose tolerance group (NGT group, n=61), impaired glucose tolerance group (IGT group, n=53) and type-2 diabetes mellitus group (T2DM group, n=66). Fasting venous blood and the venous blood 2 hours after OGTT was sampled to detect GLP-1 and GIP levels.　Results　The fasting GLP-1 level in the T2DM group was significantly lower than that in the NGT and IGT groups (Plt;0.05). There was no significant difference in fasting GLP-1 level between NGT and IGT groups (Pgt;0.05). There was no significant difference in GLP-1 level 2 hours after OGTT among all the three groups (Pgt;0.05). GIP level gradually increased in the order of NGT, IGT and T2DM both before and after glucose load, and it was positively correlated with glucose levels just after OGTT and 2 hours after OGTT (r=0.384,0.426;Plt;0.05).　Conclusion　Different GLP-1 and GIP levels may be one of the reasons for different insulin secretion ability between IGT and T2DM

Adverse events of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia: a meta-analysis

ObjectivesTo systematically review the risk of arterial ischemic and metabolic adverse events in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched to collect clinical trials, observational studies and case reports of adverse events in CML patients treated with TKIs from inception to February 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 12.0 software.ResultsA total of 22 studies involving 4 223 patients were included. The incidence rates of ischemic heart disease in any grade were 2 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 2 to 3) for nilotinib, and 0 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 3) for imatinib. The incidence of ischemic heart disease in grade 3 or 4 was 1 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 2) for nilotinib. The incidence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease in any grade was 2 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 14) for nilotinib, and 0 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 2) for imatinib. The incidence of hypertension in any grade was 1 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 3) for nilotinib, and 44 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 27 to 71) for ponatinib. The incidence of hypertension in grade 3 or 4 was 2 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 15) for nilotinib, and 22 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 8 to 58) for ponatinib. The incidence of hyperlipidemia in any grade was 17 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 5 to 59) for nilotinib. The incidence of hyperglycemia in any grade was 11 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 9 to 15) for nilotinib, 2 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 1 to 4) for imatinib, 1 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 0 to 5) for dasatinib, and 19 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 19 to 20) for bosutinib. The incidence of hyperglycemia in grade 3 or 4 was 4 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 3 to 5) for nilotinib, and 1 per 100 patient-years (95%CI 1 to 2) for bosutinib.ConclusionsPatients treated with nilotinib have a greater possibility of ischemic heart and peripheral arterial occlusive disease compared with patients treated with imatinib. Patients treated with ponatinib have a high incidence rate of hypertension, and patients treated with nilotinib have a high incidence rate of hyperlipidemia. Patients treated with bosutinib and nilotinib have higher risk of hyperglycemia compared with patients treated with imatinib or dasatinib.

ObjectiveTo detect the relationship between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antibody and anti-oxidized low density lipoprotein (anti-ox-LDL). MethodsSixty blood samples from healthy women who underwent physical examination between April 2008 and October 2012 in our hospital was collected. Anti-ox-LDL antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All samples were divided into high-titer group and low-titer group according to the level of ox-LDL antibody. HCMV- immunoglobulin (Ig)G and -IgM were then assayed by specific kit. ResultsIn ox-LDL high-titer group, the level of anti-HCMV antibody was also dramatically higher than ox-LDL low-titer group (P<0.001). ConclusionThere is a significant relationship between expression of ox-LDL and HCMV infection.

癫痫和认知障碍双向关系的研究进展

认知障碍在癫痫中很常见，常常继发于癫痫或由癫痫引起。目前普遍认同的观点是癫痫发作损害大脑并导致脑功能退化和行为改变。最近，癫痫与认知之间是否存在双向关系引起了人们的重视，分清什么是疾病和什么是症状最为重要。随着对癫痫病因学认识的逐步深入，癫痫发作、认知障碍和行为问题可能都是潜在病理状态下所表现出来的各种症状。癫痫和行为异常之间存在功能性关联，即癫痫活动可影响行为，行为异常又可改变癫痫活动。总之，以癫痫为中心看待其引起的行为问题的单向思维已经过时，这种观点甚至可能妨碍寻找和治疗潜在的病因。另外，对于癫痫合并症也应该引起临床医生的重视和治疗。
