Using Entropy as the Convergence Criteria of Ant Colony Optimization and the Application at Gene Chip Data Analysis.

Introduction: When Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (ACO) is adept at identifying the shortest path, the temporary solution is uncertain during the iterative process. All temporary solutions form a solution set.

Methods: Where each solution is random.

LncRBA GSA5, up-regulated by ox-LDL, aggravates inflammatory response and MMP expression in THP-1 macrophages by acting like a sponge for miR-221.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process, plaque rupture and subsequent thrombosis underline the major causes of acute cardio-cerebral vascular diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in diverse pathologic processes, including inflammation and myocardial infarction. Recent study confirmed the elevation of lncRNA growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) in atherosclerotic rats.

[Animal study in combining targeted-microbubbles with low-frequency ultrasound for the treatment of ischemic stroke].

Objective: To study the treatment of ischemic stroke with combining targeted-microbubbles with low frequency ultrasound in animal model.

Methods: Cerebral thrombus animal model was established by the injection of autologous blood clots after cerebral angiogram through the carotid artery catheter in big white rabbit. With the confirm of thrombosis not being dissolved after angiography 6 h later, 49 big white rabbit were divided into four groups.

[Clinical selection of endovascular stenting and carotid endarterectomy in treatment of carotid artery stenosis].

Objective: To explore reasonable clinical decision in treating carotid artery stenosis under different conditions.

Methods: The data of 133 carotid artery stenosis patients were retrospectively analyzed. Of the patients, 46 cases were treated with carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS), 87 patients received carotid endarterectomy (CEA).

Thrombolysis effect of a novel targeted microbubble with low-frequency ultrasound in vivo.

Clot-targeted microbubbles (TMB) were developed based on oligopeptide specific to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor on active platelets. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the thrombolysis effect of this TMB in both intraarterial and intravenous application and compare the clot lysis efficiency of the TMB and untargeted microbubbles(UTMB) in presence of external low frequency ultrasound (LFUS) (800 kHz, 2.4 w/cm(2), pulse-wave).

[Comparision of different interventional therapies for primary liver cancer].

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of different interventional therapies for primary hepatic cell cancer (HCC).

Methods: 1126 HCC patients before or after hepatectomy were treated by different kinds of interventional therapies: transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), TACE and radio-frequency ablation (RFA), Chinese traditional medicine and biotherapy after TACE or the transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI). The results of liver function, alpha-fetoprotein, imaging, color-ultrasonography and survival rate were reviewed.

Comparison of therapeutic effectiveness of combined interventional therapy for 1126 cases of primary liver cancer.

Aim: To verify the effect of combined interventional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: The clinical data of 1126 HCC patients who received combined interventional therapy for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) before or after hepatectomy, TACE and radio-frequency ablation (RFA), Chinese medicine treatment and biotherapy after TACE or transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI), were reviewed according to the results of their liver function, alpha-fetoprotein, image data, color-ultrasonography finding and survival rate.

Results: A total of 874 patients were followed up for a period of 2 to 63 mo.
