Published: August 2010

The development of prosthetic hand systems with both decoration and motion functionality for hand amputees has attracted wide research interests. Motion-related myoelectric potentials measured from the surface of upper part of forearms were mostly employed to construct the interface between amputees and prosthesis.However, finger motions, which play a major role in dexterous hand activities, could not be recognized from surface EMG (Electromyogram) signals.The basic idea of this study is to use motion-related surface vibration, to detect independent finger motions without using EMG signals. In this research, accelerometers were used in a finger tapping experiment to collect the finger motion related mechanical vibration patterns. Since the basic properties of the signals are unknown, a norm based, a correlation coefficient based, and a power spectrum based method were applied to the signals for feature extraction. The extracted features were then fed to back-propagation neural networks to classify for different finger motions.The results showed that, the finger motion identification is possible by using the neural networks to recognize vibration patterns.

Objective.To measure serum concentrations of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to investigate the relationship between BMP and clinical manifestations and radiographic changes.Methods.We studied 60 consecutive AS patients with and 60 patients without spinal fusion. Spinal radiographs were assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (BASRI) and the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS). Spinal fusion was defined as the presence of total bony bridging between 2 adjacent vertebral bodies in either the lumbar or cervical spine. Serum levels of BMP were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results.Patients with spinal fusion had higher serum levels of BMP-2 and BMP-4 than either the healthy controls or patients without spinal fusion (p < 0.001), but there was no difference between the latter 2 groups. Serum BMP-7, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were elevated in patients with spinal fusion compared with those without (p < 0.05). Serum BMP-4 and BMP-7 levels were higher in patients with hip involvement than in those without (p < 0.05). BMP-2 and BMP-4 levels had a significant correlation with spinal radiograph scores, especially for BASRI of the lumbar spine (r = 0.356 and 0.348, respectively, p < 0.001). CRP showed a significant correlation with spine BASRI and mSASSS scores (r = 0.261 and 0.260, respectively, p < 0.05).Conclusion.Rising levels of BMP in AS patients with spinal fusion and the positive correlation between BMP and spinal radiograph scores indicate that BMP may play a role in the process of spinal ankylosis. Serum levels of BMP may reflect radiographic progression of the spine and hip joints.

Objective.To investigate the levels of the T helper (Th)17-related cytokines interleukin 17A (IL-17A), IL-21, and IL-23 and their association with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.In a longitudinal sample set from patients with early RA (< 6 months; n = 40), we measured the plasma cytokine levels of IL-17A, IL-21, and IL-23 and analyzed for correlation with disease activity in 28 joints (Disease Activity Score 28-joint count; DAS28), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and total Sharp score (TSS). In a transverse sample set of patients with chronic RA (> 8 years), using paired peripheral blood mononuclear cells and synovial fluid mononuclear cells, we investigated the cellular expression of IL-17A, IL-21, and IL-23R.Results.Patients with early-stage RA had significantly increased plasma levels of IL-21 and IL-23, but not IL-17A, compared to patients with chronic RA and healthy volunteer controls. Plasma levels of IL-21 and IL-23 after 12 months of treatment correlated with DAS28 and ESR, but not to TSS. Changes in IL-23 plasma levels from time of diagnosis to 12 months correlated with change in DAS28 and with TSS scores at 2 years. The numbers of CD4+ T cells producing IL-21 were significantly increased in the synovial fluid of patients with chronic RA, with only marginal coexpression of IL-21 and IL-17A.Conclusion.Our results show a significant association between plasma levels of IL-21 and IL-23 and disease activity in RA, supporting the hypothesis that IL-21 and IL-23 are important pathogenic factors of this disease.

Authors: Jin Yongyang , Zhang Genkai 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe prove that the fundamental solutions of Kohn sub-LaplaciansΔ+iα∂ton the anisotropic Heisenberg groups are tempered distributions and have meromorphic continuation in α with simple poles. We compute the residues and find the partial fundamental solutions at the poles. We also find formulas for the fundamental solutions for some matrix-valued Kohn type sub-Laplacians on H-type groups.

Published: August 2010

AbstractPeroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBD) are groups of inherited neurometabolic disorders caused by defects in PEX genes. We report on a female infant, born to a consanguineous parents (first degree cousins), who presented with inactivity, poor sucking, and hypotonia early in the neonatal period. She had subtle dysmorphic features. Liver function tests were impaired with raised liver enzymes, conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. CT of the brain showed diffuse bilateral changes. She developed seizures with an abnormal EEG. Plasma very long chain fatty acid analysis showed high C26:0 levels and increasedC26:0/C22:0 and C24:0/C22:0 ratios, which is consistent with a PBD. Studies in fibroblasts including plasmalogen biosynthesis, peroxisomal fatty acid alfa and beta oxidation confirmed the diagnosis of PBD. Immunofluoresence microscopy revealed the absence of peroxisomes in fibroblasts. The patient was assigned to the PEX19 complementation group. Subsequent mutation analysis of the PEX19 gene revealed homozygosity for a c.320delA frameshift mutation. The patient had a stormy course with multiple admissions to the pediatric intensive care unit with pneumonia, liver impairment, sepsis, and epilepsy. At 1 year of age she developed metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap, proteinuria, aminoaciduria, and glucosuria consistent with a renal tubular defect. Abdominal ultrasound showed multiple gallstones. Other causes of gallstones like haemoglobinopathy were excluded. So far, only two siblings had been reported with mutations in the PEX19 gene. Our patient showed a previously unrecognized association of gallstones and a renal tubular defect with a PBD. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Mosaic compound heterozygosity of SHOX resulting in Leri–Weill dyschondrosteosis with marked short stature: Implications for disease mechanisms and recurrence risks

Published: August 2010

AbstractMutations or deletions in the SHOX gene cause Leri–Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) and Langer mesomelic dysplasia (LMD) when present in heterozygous or homozygous form, respectively. A new class of enhancer deletions was identified 30–250 kb downstream of SHOX. We identified a female patient with marked short stature, mosaic for monosomy X in 31% of her lymphocytes, and findings consistent with LWD. Additional molecular studies demonstrated segregation of 17 polymorphic markers flanking and including the SHOX locus, spanning 328 kb of pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) region. A deletion up to 10 kb residing 197 kb downstream of SHOX gene was detected, which was germinally transmitted from her clinically unaffected father. This was associated with post‐zygotic mosaic loss of the normal maternal X‐chromosome, evidenced by fluorescent fragment analysis. Since most patients with LMD with deletions downstream of SHOX gene also have SHOX mutations in trans, it may suggest these deletions are associated with a milder phenotype. Further studies are required to elucidate the role of the former region in disease etiology. Mutations should be sought in clinically non‐affected family members because of the variable expressivity in hemizygous carriers, and cytogenetic evaluation should be considered to detect possible X‐chromosome rearrangements underlying the haploinsufficiency for the PAR1 when deletion is detected by molecular analysis. Similarly, when LWD and marked short stature occur in a patient with mosaic Turner syndrome, the possibility of mutations in SHOX and the downstream of SHOX gene should be considered. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Atypical Silver–Russell phenotype resulting from maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7
Authors: Stark Zornitza , Ryan Monique M. , Bruno Damien L. , Burgess Trent , Savarirayan Ravi 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe report on a patient with atypical Silver–Russell phenotype comprising severe growth retardation, unusual facies, bilateral Duane anomaly and infantile hypercalcemia caused by maternal uniparental iso/heterodisomy (mUPD) of chromosome 7. The development of myoclonus in this patient lends further support to the hypothesis that abnormal imprinting of the SGCE gene is responsible for some cases of myoclonus–dystonia syndrome. This case highlights the utility of SNP microarray technology as an accessible tool for the diagnosis of mUPD7 in atypical cases. We propose that depending on the balance of iso‐ and heterodisomic segments in a particular patient, mUPD7 may result in a range of phenotypes not confined to classic Silver–Russell syndrome. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Modelling Hollow‐Fibre Ultrafiltration
Authors: Chen X.D. , Ai G.M. , Chen J.J.J. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIn this paper, we report a mathematical model that incorporates the solution of the detailed concentration profile in a hollow‐fibre ultrafiltration membrane system using Dextran and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as model fluids. Initial experiments on such a system were performed by Clifton et al.[I] in the mid 1980s, and modelled using an approximate function of concentration distribution. This model has since been adopted by many other researchers for simulating systems that are similar in nature. However, this model does not predict very well the pressure drop across the entire fibre length. We have shown, with the incorporation of a more realistic account of mass transfer, that the present model can give good agreements with the experimental results, not only for permeate flux along the fibre but also for the outlet pressures.
A framework for analysis of observer‐based ILC
Authors: Wallén Johanna , Norrlöf Mikael , Gunnarsson Svante 
Published: August 2010

AbstractA framework for iterative learning control (ILC) is proposed for the situation when an ILC algorithm uses an estimate of the controlled variable obtained from an observer‐based estimation procedure. Assuming that the ILC input converges to a bounded signal, a general expression for the asymptotic error of the controlled variable is given. The asymptotic error is exemplified by an ILC algorithm applied to a flexible two‐mass model of a robot joint.Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
Decay rate andl2gain analysis for the particle swarm optimization algorithm
Authors: Wakasa Yuji , Tanaka Kanya , Akashi Takuya , Nishimura Yuki 
Published: August 2010

AbstractThe behavior of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is analyzed by regarding its dynamics as a system with multiplicative noise and applying control‐theoretic analysis methods. In order to evaluate the convergence and diversity of the PSO algorithm, two new measures related to the decay rate andl2gain of the PSO dynamics are introduced. These measures are characterized by linear matrix inequalities and are therefore efficiently computed by convex optimization tools. Numerical experiments suggest that the measures are effective enough to evaluate the convergence and diversity of the PSO algorithm, which can lead to better understanding of the PSO algorithm from the viewpoints of exploitation and exploration abilities.Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
Fault tolerant control with disturbance rejection and attenuation performance for systems with multiple disturbances
Authors: Cao Songyin , Guo Lei , Wen Xinyu 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIt is difficult to diagnose and accommodate the faults if disturbances and faults exist simultaneously in the controlled plants. In this paper, an anti‐disturbance fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme is presented for a class of nonlinear systems with both faults and multiple disturbances. The multiple disturbances are supposed to include two types including the uncertain modeled disturbances and norm bounded uncertain disturbances. A composite fault tolerant controller is constructed by integrating a fault accommodation from diagnosis observer with additional disturbance rejection and attenuation performance for two different types of disturbances. As a result, the fault can be accommodated and the multiple disturbances can be rejected and attenuated simultaneously. Simulations for a flight control system are given to show the efficiency of the proposed approach.Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
