As a malignant tumor whose primary focus is located in the bronchial mucosal epithelium, lung cancer has the highest mortality and morbidity among cancer types, threatening health and life of patients suffering from the disease. Machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Naïve Bayes (NB) have been used for lung cancer prediction. However they still face challenges such as high dimensionality of the feature space, over-fitting, high computational complexity, noise and missing data, low accuracies, low precision and high error rates. Ensemble learning, which combines classifiers, may be helpful to boost prediction on new data. However, current ensemble ML techniques rarely consider comprehensive evaluation metrics to evaluate the performance of individual classifiers. The main purpose of this study was to develop an ensemble classifier that improves lung cancer prediction. An ensemble machine learning algorithm is developed based on RF, SVM, NB, and KNN. Feature selection is done based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). This algorithm is then executed on lung cancer data and evaluated using execution time, true positives (TP), true negatives (TN), false positives (FP), false negatives (FN), false positive rate (FPR), recall (R), precision (P) and F-measure (FM). Experimental results show that the proposed ensemble classifier has the best classification of 0.9825% with the lowest error rate of 0.0193. This is followed by SVM in which the probability of having the best classification is 0.9652% at an error rate of 0.0206. On the other hand, NB had the worst performance of 0.8475% classification at 0.0738 error rate.展开更多

[Method] HP-PRRS virus that had been multiplied inside Marc-145 cells was collected and concentrated 50 times and then inactivated. Complete virions were separated and collected by chromatography with Sepharose 4 Fast Flow. Oil adjuvant was added to prepare purified inactivated vaccine. [Result] Viral protein was separated from other proteins by purification and the viral protein contents ranged from 76.7% to 82.4%, and 96% of the expected serum proteins were removed. Protective potency of purified vaccine was above 4/5 and positive conversion rate of antibody was over 86%, both higher than that of unpurified vaccine. The differences were significant. [Conclusion] The experiment il-lustrated that the immune efficacy of vaccine can be enhanced through concentrat- ing and purifying, while the non-viral protein can be removed, so that allergic reaction and stress response cadsed by vaccine inoculation can be avoided.展开更多

We present the methods that have been used in our developing intrusion detection system AIIDS (artificial immune intrusion detection systems) to increase the creditability of anomaly detection system. These methods include increasing the regularities of the system call trace by use of Hidden Markov Model (HMM), making every antibody or detector has finite lifetime, offering the detector a co-stimulate signal to illustrate whether there is damage in the system according to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of the system resource.展开更多

Methods: The study was conducted from June 2021 to June 2022. Sixty infertile couples who received IVF cycle treatment in our hospital during this period were selected as the observation group, and 60 couples with good sperm quality and follicle number ≥ 5 who conceived naturally after gynecological disease treatment were selected as the control group during the same period. The sperm quality, sex hormones and ovulation of the two groups were observed, and the change of positive rate was detected by the combined detection method. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had less semen (2.82 ± 0.12) ml, lower concentration (69.17 ± 1.28) × 106/ml, normal sperm morphology rate (2.92% ± 0.11%), lower survival rate (70.25% ± 1.16%), higher deformed sperm index (1.39 ± 0.11), and significant differences between groups (P < 0.05);The levels of FSH (7.15 ± 1.33) U/L, LH (5.13 ± 0.53) mU/ml, E2 (72.34 ± 5.11) ng/L, AMH (3.87 ± 0.67) ng/ml and AFC (7.15 ± 0.76) in the control group were significantly better than those in the observation group (P < 0.05). Compared with the single detection method of the three groups, the positive detection rate of the combined diagnosis method was higher, and the difference between the groups was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For the diagnosis of infertility, the combined detection method of sperm quality, sex hormone and ovulation can effectively clarify the problems existing in the couple, significantly improve the detection rate of the cause of the patient, and is more conducive to guiding clinical symptomatic treatment, which is worthy of promotion and reference.展开更多

In recent years, the personal saving rate in the United States has fallen sharply, but the personal saving rate in China is at an astoundingly high level. This paper studies this problem with the positive analysis method from the situation; the reasons of the saving rate disparity between the U.S. and .China, and put forward some proposals about how to deal with the saving problems.
文摘Machine learning algorithms (MLs) can potentially improve disease diagnostics, leading to early detection and treatment of these diseases. As a malignant tumor whose primary focus is located in the bronchial mucosal epithelium, lung cancer has the highest mortality and morbidity among cancer types, threatening health and life of patients suffering from the disease. Machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Naïve Bayes (NB) have been used for lung cancer prediction. However they still face challenges such as high dimensionality of the feature space, over-fitting, high computational complexity, noise and missing data, low accuracies, low precision and high error rates. Ensemble learning, which combines classifiers, may be helpful to boost prediction on new data. However, current ensemble ML techniques rarely consider comprehensive evaluation metrics to evaluate the performance of individual classifiers. The main purpose of this study was to develop an ensemble classifier that improves lung cancer prediction. An ensemble machine learning algorithm is developed based on RF, SVM, NB, and KNN. Feature selection is done based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). This algorithm is then executed on lung cancer data and evaluated using execution time, true positives (TP), true negatives (TN), false positives (FP), false negatives (FN), false positive rate (FPR), recall (R), precision (P) and F-measure (FM). Experimental results show that the proposed ensemble classifier has the best classification of 0.9825% with the lowest error rate of 0.0193. This is followed by SVM in which the probability of having the best classification is 0.9652% at an error rate of 0.0206. On the other hand, NB had the worst performance of 0.8475% classification at 0.0738 error rate.

文摘[Objective] The aim of this study was to improve the purification and protective potency of HP-PRRS inactivated vaccine. [Method] HP-PRRS virus that had been multiplied inside Marc-145 cells was collected and concentrated 50 times and then inactivated. Complete virions were separated and collected by chromatography with Sepharose 4 Fast Flow. Oil adjuvant was added to prepare purified inactivated vaccine. [Result] Viral protein was separated from other proteins by purification and the viral protein contents ranged from 76.7% to 82.4%, and 96% of the expected serum proteins were removed. Protective potency of purified vaccine was above 4/5 and positive conversion rate of antibody was over 86%, both higher than that of unpurified vaccine. The differences were significant. [Conclusion] The experiment il-lustrated that the immune efficacy of vaccine can be enhanced through concentrat- ing and purifying, while the non-viral protein can be removed, so that allergic reaction and stress response cadsed by vaccine inoculation can be avoided.

文摘BACKGROUND Nomograms for prognosis prediction in colorectal cancer patients are few,and prognostic indicators differ with age.AIM To construct a new nomogram survival prediction tool for middle-aged and elderly patients with stage III rectal adenocarcinoma.METHODS A total of 2773 eligible patients were divided into the training cohort(70%)and the validation cohort(30%).Optimal cutoff values were calculated using the X-tile software for continuous variables.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to determine overall survival(OS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)-related prognostic factors.Two nomograms were successfully constructed.The discriminant and predictive ability and clinical usefulness of the model were also assessed by multiple methods of analysis.RESULTS The 95%CI in the training group was 0.719(0.690-0.749)and 0.733(0.702-0.74),while that in the validation group was 0.739(0.696-0.782)and 0.750(0.701-0.800)for the OS and CSS nomogram prediction models,respectively.In the validation group,the AUC of the three-year survival rate was 0.762 and 0.770,while the AUC of the five-year survival rate was 0.722 and 0.744 for the OS and CSS nomograms,respectively.The nomogram distinguishes all-cause mortality from cancer-specific mortality in patients with different risk grades.The time-dependent AUC and decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram had good clinical predictive ability and decision efficacy and was significantly better than the tumor-node-metastases staging system.CONCLUSION The survival prediction model constructed in this study is helpful in evaluating the prognosis of patients and can aid physicians in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
文摘Objective: To understand the infection of HTLV among voluntary blood donors in Wuzhou City, and to provide reference for the national health administrative department to formulate blood safety screening strategies. Methods: The HTLV double-antigen sandwich ELISA reagent was used to screen the blood samples of unpaid blood donors, and the reactive samples in the initial screening were subjected to a double-well retest;Specimens that were still reactive in the retest were further confirmed by viral nucleic acid amplification test (PCR) and western blotting (WB). Results: A total of 9 of 20,222 unpaid blood donation samples were screened to be reactive, and the screening response rate was 0.04%;Two samples of HTLV-1 nucleic acid and western blotting (WB) were confirmed to be positive, and the other seven samples were negative;The confirmed positive rate was 0.01%. Conclusion: There was a certain positive rate of HTLV-1 serological screening among the non remunerated blood donors in Wuzhou City, and the confirmation test confirmed that there was a certain risk of HTLV infection;In order to further understand the HTLV infection of blood donors in this city, we should further increase the number of screening samples, so as to obtain more reliable and accurate data in this region, and provide data and reference for the health administration department to formulate HTLV screening strategies for blood donors.
文摘Based on Bayes' theorem we point out that the false positive rate must be lower than the intrusion base rate in order to make the Alarm Credibility Probability of the intrusion detection system exceed 50%. We present the methods that have been used in our developing intrusion detection system AIIDS (artificial immune intrusion detection systems) to increase the creditability of anomaly detection system. These methods include increasing the regularities of the system call trace by use of Hidden Markov Model (HMM), making every antibody or detector has finite lifetime, offering the detector a co-stimulate signal to illustrate whether there is damage in the system according to the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of the system resource.

文摘In response to the deficiencies of BitTorrent, the concept of density radius was proposed, and the distance from the maximum point of radius density to cluster center as a cluster radius was taken to solve the too large cluster radius resulted from the discrete points and to reduce the false positive rate of early recognition algorithms. Simulation results show that in the actual network environment, the improved algorithm, compared with K-means, will reduce the false positive rate of early identification algorithm from 6.3% to 0.9% and has a higher operational efficiency.
文摘Objective: To analyze the application value of combined detection of sperm quality, sex hormone and ovulation in the diagnosis of infertility. Methods: The study was conducted from June 2021 to June 2022. Sixty infertile couples who received IVF cycle treatment in our hospital during this period were selected as the observation group, and 60 couples with good sperm quality and follicle number ≥ 5 who conceived naturally after gynecological disease treatment were selected as the control group during the same period. The sperm quality, sex hormones and ovulation of the two groups were observed, and the change of positive rate was detected by the combined detection method. Results: Compared with the control group, the observation group had less semen (2.82 ± 0.12) ml, lower concentration (69.17 ± 1.28) × 106/ml, normal sperm morphology rate (2.92% ± 0.11%), lower survival rate (70.25% ± 1.16%), higher deformed sperm index (1.39 ± 0.11), and significant differences between groups (P < 0.05);The levels of FSH (7.15 ± 1.33) U/L, LH (5.13 ± 0.53) mU/ml, E2 (72.34 ± 5.11) ng/L, AMH (3.87 ± 0.67) ng/ml and AFC (7.15 ± 0.76) in the control group were significantly better than those in the observation group (P < 0.05). Compared with the single detection method of the three groups, the positive detection rate of the combined diagnosis method was higher, and the difference between the groups was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For the diagnosis of infertility, the combined detection method of sperm quality, sex hormone and ovulation can effectively clarify the problems existing in the couple, significantly improve the detection rate of the cause of the patient, and is more conducive to guiding clinical symptomatic treatment, which is worthy of promotion and reference.
文摘Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the performance of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PSMA PET/CT)in comparison to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(mpMRI)for detecting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer(PCa).Materials and methods We conducted a comprehensive search for articles published in PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,and the Cochrane Library,spanning the inception of the database until October 26,2022,which included head-to-head comparisons of PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI for assessing the biochemical recurrence of PCa.Results A total of 5 studies including 228 patients were analyzed.The overall positivity rates of PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI for detecting biochemical recurrence of PCa after final treatment were 0.68(95%confidence interval[CI],0.52–0.89)and 0.56(95%CI,0.36–0.88),respectively.The positivity rates of PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI for detecting local recurrence,lymph node metastasis,and bone metastases were 0.37(95%CI,0.30–0.47)and 0.38(95%CI,0.22–0.67),0.44(95%CI,0.35–0.56)and 0.25(95%CI,0.17–0.35),and 0.19(95%CI,0.11–0.31)and 0.12(95%CI,0.05–0.25),respectively.Compared with mpMRI,PSMA PET/CT exhibited a higher positivity rate for detecting biochemical recurrence and lymph node metastases,and no significant difference in the positivity rate of local recurrence was observed between these 2 imaging modalities.Conclusions Compared with mpMRI,PSMA PET/CT appears to have a higher positivity rate for detecting biochemical recurrence of PCa.Although both imaging methods showed similar positivity rates of detecting local recurrence,PSMA PET/CT outperformed PSMA PET/CT in detecting lymph node involvement and overall recurrence.
