Identifying the sleep stages correctly with the polysomnogram, which is a collection of relevant physiological signals recorded during sleep, helps clinicians diagnose and treat sleep disorders. Nevertheless, the manual process of performing such a sleep staging task is very time consuming and prone to technicians' labeling errors. To tackle these issues, there have been many efforts in designing various machine learning/ deep learning-based automated methods for sleep staging over the past years, this paper proposed an innovative automatic sleep staging method based on a hybrid multi-head and sequence network architecture. Different from previous works, this method extracted multi-modality features from EEG and EOG with the multi-head CNNs and then integrated them with heuristic weights obtained through experiments. Moreover, the joint loss function based on cross entropy loss function was also applied, wherein multiple embedded losses were added simultaneously and propagated backward. We tested our method using the popular public dataset \"Sleep-EDF[Expanded]\" from the PhysioNet website. The best result showed an accuracy of 91.76% and Cohen's kappa value over 0.836 compared with human experts, which had competitive advantages over most of previous research results using automated methods on the same dataset.","PeriodicalId":260405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134371733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kisspeptin and its receptor KISS1R have been identified as potential prognostic or therapeutic markers in cancers. Recent study suggested that kisspeptin plays an important role in gynecological cancer, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrium cancer. Method: a systematic search of database was conducted in PubMed, Google scholar, and Embase. Studies investigating the role of kisspeptin in gynecological cancer were included. Results: Kisspeptin and KISS1R expression is related to breast cancer, ovarian cancer as well as endometrium cancer status and prognosis. KISS1R expression is regulated by sex hormones in breast cancer. Moreover, Kisspeptin and its receptor KISS1R can be applicated as a potential therapy for these cancers. More well-designed clinical studies should be performed to confirm the safety for the use of this peptide and the derived anti-tumor drugs.","PeriodicalId":260405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128174207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, fish collagen has been widely used in the fields of food, cosmetics and medicine, but regarding it research in the field of biomaterials, especially as an anti-inflammatory wound dressing, has not yet been carried out. This study elaborated on fish collagen and human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The effect of fish collagen on the proliferation of human epidermal keratinocytes was studied by employing the MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. The effect of fish collagen on the secretion of inflammation factors Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ą in human epidermal keratinocytes was studied using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA); furthermore, the effect of fish collagen on the expression of inflammation-related genes IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-ą in human epidermal keratinocytes was studied by Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). The results showed that fish collagen can promote the proliferation of HaCaT cells, inhibit the excessive secretion of LPS-stimulated inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-ą, and also inhibit the expression of inflammation-related genes IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-ą. The above results indicate that fish collagen has the potential to act as an active additive for anti-inflammatory wound dressing.","PeriodicalId":260405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129574789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It applies Expectation Maximization algorithm to estimate RNA-related genomic features using iterations. After each iteration, the proportion of the real distribution coordinates is increased, and the result is closer to the real distribution, demonstrating validity and effectiveness of our proposed method.","PeriodicalId":260405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133461495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to rebuild and verify a new highly cost-effective system than the old by updating some costly but inefficient instruments and performing a series of human head-shaped phantom experiments. A self-designed flexible fiber-free brain computer interface (BCI) was made to interact between the system instruments and subjects. In addition, a commercial 3D laser scanner was firstly introduced to acquire the anatomical information of the subjects in the imaging process. Finally, we achieved a reduction of the system budget by more than 40% and a depth location of at least 32.5 mm in the human head-shaped phantom experiments. This indicates that our new DOT system can be used in the real human brain or the whole human body imaging in the future.","PeriodicalId":260405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Biological Information and Biomedical Engineering","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132108782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
