We assume episodic memories of the authors can be used as contextual keywords in query expressions to efficiently dig out the expected slides for reuse rather than using only the part-of-slide-descriptions-based keyword queries. As a system, a new slide repository is proposed, composed of slide material collections, slide content data and pieces of information from authors＇ episodic memories related to each slide and presentation together with a slide retrieval application enabling authors to use the episodic memories as part of queries. The result of our experiment shows that the episodic memory-used queries can give more discoverability than the keyword-based queries. Additionally, an improvement model is discussed on the slide retrieval for further slide-finding efficiency by expanding the episodic memories model in the repository taking in the links with the author-and-slide-related data and events having been post on the private and social media sites.展开更多

Three endoscopists evaluated lesion recognition with white light imaging(WLI) and LCI. Color values in Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)1976 L*a*b* color space were used to calculate the color difference(ΔE) between cancer lesions and non-cancer areas. After endoscopic submucosal dissection,blood vessel density in the surface layer of the gastric epithelium was evaluated pathologically. The identical region of interest was selected for analyses of endoscopic images(WLI and LCI) and pathological analyses.RESULTS LCI was superior for lesion recognition(P < 0.0001), and ΔE between cancer and non-cancer areas was significantly greater with LCI than WLI(29.4 vs 18.6, P <0.0001). Blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions(5.96% vs4.15%, P = 0.0004). An a* cut-off of ≥ 24 in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space identified a cancer lesion using LCI with sensitivity of 76.7%, specificity of 93.0%, and accuracy of 84.9%.CONCLUSION LCI is more effective for recognition of early gastric cancer compared to WLI as a result of improved visualization of changes in redness. Surface blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions, and this result is consistent with LCI image analysis.展开更多

To effectively design the lower drag stay and reduce the weight of landing gear, Global/local Linked Driven Optimization Strategy(GLDOS) was developed to conduct the overall process design of lower drag stay in respect of optimization thought. The whole-process optimization involves two stages of structural conceptual design and detailed design. In the structural conceptual design, the landing gear lower drag stay was globally topologically optimized by adopting multiple starting points algorithm. In the detailed design, the local size and shape of landing gear lower drag stay were globally optimized by the gradient optimization strategy. The GLDOS method adopts different optimization strategies for different optimization stages to acquire the optimum design effect. Through the experimental validation, the weight of the optimized lower dray stay with the developed GLDOS is reduced by 16.79% while keeping enough strength and stiffness, which satisfies the requirements of engineering design under the typical loading conditions. The proposed GLDOS is validated to be accurate and efficient in optimization scheme and design cycles. The efforts of this paper provide a whole-process optimization approach regarding different optimization technologies in different design phases, which is significant in reducing structural weight and enhance design tp wid 1 precision for complex structures in aircrafts.展开更多

METHODS： One thousand nine hundred and seventy consecutive patients who attended our hospital were enrolled. All of the patients who first attend our hospital were asked to respond to the F-scale questionnaire regardless of their chief complaints. All patients had a careful history taken, and resting echocardiography （ECG） was performed by physicians if the diagnostic necessity arose. Patients with ECG signs of coronary artery ischemia were defined as ST- segment depression based on the Minnesota code. RESULTS： Among 712 patients （36%） with GERD, ECG was performed in 171 （24%）, and ischemic changes were detected in eight （5%）. Four （50%） of these patients with abnormal findings upon ECG had no chest symptoms such as chest pain, chest oppression, or palpitations. These patients （0.6%; 4/712） were thought to have non-GERD heartburn, which may be related to ischemic heart disease. Of 281 patients who underwent ECG and did not have GERD symptoms, 20 （7%） had abnormal findings upon ECG. In patients with GERD symptoms and ECG signs of coronary artery ischemia, the prevalence of linked angina was considered to be 0.4% （8/1970 patients）.CONCLUSION： The present study suggested that ischemic heart disease might be found although a patient was referred to the hospital with a complaint of GERD symptoms. Physicians have to be concerned about missing clinically important coronary artery disease while evaluating patients for GERD symptoms.展开更多

All 26 patients were clinically diagnosed as leptospirosis Microscopic agglutination test （MAT） revealed that 13 of 26 patients were affected with laboratory confirmed leptospirosis. Furthermore, MAT data suggested that serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae were the main pathogens responsible for this outbreak. And the rainfall data suggested that the increased rainfall might be responsible for the leptospirosis outbreak in Lezhi County. This outbreak has reminded us that leptospirosis should not be neglected, especially during flood season, although its incidence rate is low.展开更多

The results showed that at the same temperature, the degree of the oxidative degradation of the LPS increased and the rapidity of the oxidative degradation was accelerated with the increase of the dissolved oxygen content. Consequently, the size of linked polymer coils (LPCs) of the LPS became small, and the plugging capability of the LPS decreased. At a fixed content of dissolved oxygen, with increasing degradation temperature, almost the same results were observed, namely, an increased degree of oxidative degradation, accelerated rapidity of the oxidative degradation and decreased plugging capacity, with decreased oxidative stability of LPS. At 90 °C, in the presence of oxygen, LPS lost its plugging capability after having been degraded for a period of time. But at 40 °C, LPS with low dissolved oxygen content could be stable for a long time. The decreased plugging ability of LPS after oxidative degradation is mainly caused by the decreased size and number of the LPCs due to the breaking of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) molecule segments and the structural changing of HPAM molecules.展开更多

In the work, the conformational changes of LPCs under different conditions were investigated by the methods of membrane filtering under low pressure, dynamic light scattering and core flooding experiments. The results showed that in some conditions the LPCs could be compressed mechanically to 1/158.5 of their original volume because of relatively lower HPAM cross-linking. The hydration property of LPCs was similar to that of normal polymer coils. The deformation of LPCs was more restricted than that of ordinary polymer coils under the flow shear stress or the shift of hydration equilibrium caused in the variation of the electrolyte concentration which is responsible for the effective plugging in the throats of porous media when LPCs are used for deep diverting.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection status is a crucial premise for eradication therapy,as well as evaluation of risk for gastric cancer.Recent progress on imaging enhancement endoscopy(IEE)made it possible to not only detect precancerous lesions and early gastrointestinal cancers but also to predict H.pylori infection in real time.As a novel IEE modality,linked color imaging(LCI)has exhibited its value on diagnosis of lesions of gastric mucosa through emphasizing minor differences of color tone.AIM To compare the efficacy of LCI for H.pylori active infection vs conventional white light imaging(WLI).METHODS PubMed,Embase,Embase and Cochrane Library were searched up to the end of April 11,2022.The random-effects model was adopted to calculate the diagnostic efficacy of LCI and WLI.The calculation of sensitivity,specificity,and likelihood ratios were performed;symmetric receiver operator characteristic(SROC)curves and the areas under the SROC curves were computed.Quality of the included studies was chosen to assess using the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2 tool.RESULTS Seven original studies were included in this study.The pooled sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood rate,and negative likelihood rate of LCI for the diagnosis of H.pylori infection of gastric mucosa were 0.85[95%confidence interval(CI):0.76-0.92],0.82(95%CI:0.78-0.85),4.71(95%CI:3.7-5.9),and 0.18(95%CI:0.10-0.31)respectively,with diagnostic odds ratio=26(95%CI:13-52),SROC=0.87(95%CI:0.84-0.90),which showed superiority of diagnostic efficacy compared to WLI.CONCLUSION Our results showed LCI can improve efficacy of diagnosis on H.pylori infection,which represents a useful endoscopic evaluation modality for clinical practice.
