ObjectiveTo study the expression of Lumican in colorectal cancer tissues and investigate its role in the carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer. MethodsLumican expression in 114 colorectal cancer and 43 normal tissues was detected by immunohistochemical SP method. ResultsLumican expression was negative in 43 normal colorectal tissues，while 79.82%（91/114） positive in cancer tissues, the difference of which was significant (Plt;0.05). The intensity of Lumican expression correlated conversely to the grade of differentiation for the colorectal cancer (Plt;0.05). So Lumican expression was statistically higher in Dukes A+B group than that in C+D group (Plt;0.05). There was no difference of Lumican expression in age and gender (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionsLumican didn’t express in normal colorectal tissues while expressed in cancer tissues, which suggests that Lumican may play a role in the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer. The expression of Lumican is correlated with tumor differentiation grade and Dukes staging, which could be considered as an valuable index to biological features of colorectal cancer.
Brain-computer interface (BCI) can establish a direct communications pathway between the human brain and the external devices, which is independent of peripheral nerves and muscles. Compared with invasive BCI, non-invasive BCI has the advantages of low cost, low risk, and ease of operation. In recent years, using non-invasive BCI technology to control devices has gradually evolved into a new type of human-computer interaction manner. Moreover, the control strategy for BCI is an essential component of this manner. First, this study introduced how the brain control techniques were developed and classified. Second, the basic characteristics of direct and shared control strategies were thoroughly explained. And then the benefits and drawbacks of these two strategies were compared and further analyzed. Finally, the development direction and application prospects for non-invasive brain control strategies were suggested.
