Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has been appliedin many medical research to study autonomic nervous systemactivity. In these studies, the researchers found that (i) ratioof low frequency (LF) to high frequency (HF) spectrum power is auseful measure of sympathetic/parasympathetic balance, and (ii)low heart rate variability is an important risk factors forpatients. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the ratio and heartrate variability have the potential to early detect physiolog...

telomere length , schizophrenia , P300 latency , cognitive deficit

Telomere, the ends of chromosomes, consists of simple hexameric repeats. In human, TTAGGG repeat is found at the ends of all chromosomes. Telomeres progressively shorten with age in somatic cells, because the insufficient telomerase activity fails to compensate the progressive telomeric erosion. Thus, the reduction of telomeric length in senescent cells is believed to result from active cell division that erodes chromosomal termini. The telomere length supposed to have been an evaluation tool fo...

Ion-sensitive field effect transistors (ISFET s) have many advantages than the conventional ion selective electrode. Small size, fast response and compatible with conventional IC technologies were the most important advantages. The general structure of ISFET was the same with MOSFET, but the main difference is that the metal gate in MOSFET was replaced by reference electrode/electrolyte/insulator(ionic sensor membrane) structure in ISFET. The insulator surface will suffer the change of potential...
