基于机器学习的脑胶质瘤多模态影像分析

脑部胶质瘤是临床中常见的一种原发性脑肿瘤，具有复发率高、死亡率高以及治愈率低的特点。常规临床诊断主要依靠计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)检查技术进行鉴别。随着成像技术和机器学习方法的不断发展，多模态影像智能分析技术已经逐步成为研究热点，在脑胶质瘤的病灶分割测量、肿瘤分级、预后生存周期预测和基因型辨别等方面具有重要的应用前景。本文重点介绍基于机器学习和多模态影像在脑胶质瘤临床辅助诊断和预后评估中的应用进展。     

A Stable Q Compensated Reverse Time Migration Method Based on Excitation Amplitude Imaging Condition

The stability and efficiency, especially the stability, are generally concerned issues in Q compensated reverse time migration (Q-RTM). The instability occurs because of the exponentially boosted high frequency ambient noise during the forward or backward seismic wavefield propagation. The regularization and low-pass filtering methods are two effective strategies to control the instability of the wave propagation in Q-RTM. However, the regularization parameters are determined experimentally, and the wavefield cannot be recovered accurately. The low-pass filtering method cannot balance the selection of cutoff frequency for varying Q values, and may damage the effective signals, especially when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the seismic data is low, the Q-RTM will be a highly unstable process. In order to achieve the purpose of stability, the selection of cutoff frequency will be small enough, which can cause great damage to the effective high frequency signals. In this paper, we present a stable Q-RTM algorithm based on the excitation amplitude imaging condition, which can compensate both the amplitude attenuation and phase dispersion. Unlike the existing Q-RTM algorithms enlarging the amplitude, the exponentially attenuated seismic wavefield will be used during both the forward and backward wavefield propagation of Q-RTM. Therefore, the new Q-RTM algorithm is relative stable, even for the low SNR seismic data. In order to show the accuracy and stability of our stable Q-RTM algorithm clearly, an example based on Graben model will be illustrated. Then, a realistic BP gas chimney model further demonstrates that the proposed method enjoys good stability and anti-noise performance compared with the traditional Q-RTM with amplitude amplification. Compare the Q-RTM images of these two models to the reference images obtained by the acoustic RTM with acoustic seismic data, the new Q-RTM results match the reference images quite well. The proposed method is also tested using a field seismic data, the result shows the effectiveness of our proposed method.     

Analysis of Risk and Burden of Dysentery Associated with Floods from 2004 to 2010 in Nanning,China

This study aimed to examine the association between floods and the morbidity of dysentery and to quantify the burden of dysentery due to floods in Nanning, China. A generalized additive mixed model was conducted to assess the relationship between monthly morbidity of dysentery and floods from 2004 to 2010. The years lived with disability (YLDs) of dysentery attributable to floods were then estimated based on the WHO framework of the burden of disease study for calculating the potential impact fraction. The relative risk (RR) of floods on the morbidity of dysentery was 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–1.75). The models suggest that a potential 1-day rise in flood duration may lead to 8% (RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.04–1.12) increase in the morbidity of dysentery. The average attributable YLD per 1,000 of dysentery caused by floods were 0.013 in males, 0.005 in females, and 0.009 in persons. Our study confirms that floods have significantly increased the risk and the burden of dysentery in the study area. Public health action should be taken to prevent and control the potential risk of dysentery after floods. Vulnerable groups such as males and children should be paid more attention.     

谷氨酸对腺苷A2A受体调节一氧化氮合酶活力的影响

目的探讨谷氨酸是否能够影响腺苷A2A受体对一氧化氮合酶（NOS）活力的调节。方法用1000ng／ml脂多糖（LPS）刺激小胶质细胞，分别加入100nmol／L A2A受体激动剂CGS21680以及不同浓度的谷氨酸（0，1，0，25，0，5mmol／L）干预，观察NOS活力变化。结果LPS诱导NOS活力增高，激活A2A受体可以产生抑制作用；0，25及0．5mmoL／L谷氨酸和A2A受体激动剂同时存在时，NOS活力进一步增高。结论高浓度谷氨酸可逆转腺苷A2A受体激动剂抑制升高NOS活力的作用。     

光化学作用对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子的释放

目的观察不同光敏剂在肿瘤细胞内的分布,以及光化学作用对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子的释放作用.方法使用激光共聚焦显微镜观察ALA、ALA-HE、HMME、TPPSa2在肿瘤细胞SW480、K562的胞内分布,使用FITC-右旋糖酐观察肿瘤细胞对荧光标记大分子的胞吞作用,通过光照激发光敏化细胞,动态观察光化学作用前后胞吞大分子FITC-右旋糖酐的胞内分布变化.结果ALA、ALA-HE、HMME、TPPSa24种光敏剂均表现为胞质分布,核内分布少.ALA、ALA-HE的胞内分布主要表现为胞质内的弥散性荧光.HMME则表现为胞质内颗粒状荧光与弥散荧光同时存在.TPPSa2为典型的胞质内颗粒状荧光分布.光敏剂在SW480、K562两种肿瘤细胞的胞内分布没有明显差异.光照激发不同光敏剂对肿瘤细胞胞吞FITC-左旋糖酐的胞内分布影响不同.由TPPSa2及HMME活化而产生的光化学作用表现出明显的荧光颗粒重分布,ALA、ALA-HE则对胞吞荧光无明显重分布作用.结论不同光敏剂因其不同的理化性质而表现为不同的胞内分布.光化学作用可对肿瘤细胞胞吞大分子产生胞吞释放作用,其作用机制可能与光化学作用对胞吞泡的破坏有关.     

Dexamethasone treatment attenuates early seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits.

There is very little evidence on the value of giving corticoids in cases of seawater drowning induced acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether dexamethasone treatment can attenuate seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits. Seawater (4 ml/kg body weight) was instilled into the lower trachea of ventilated, anesthetized rabbits. Then these rabbits were assigned randomly 20 min later to receive intravenous injection of 1mg/kg body weight of dexamethasone (dissolving in 2 ml of normal saline) or 2 ml of normal saline. All animals demonstrated immediate drops in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and the total thoracic compliance, which were significantly improved after 2 h of dexamethasone treatment. Histopathological study also indicated that dexamethasone treatment markedly attenuated lung histopathological changes, alveolar hemorrhage and inflammatory cells infiltration with evidence of decreasing of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration in lung tissue. In addition, dexamethasone treatment reduced extravascular lung water and lung epithelial-endothelial barrier permeability, up-regulated the expression of surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and alpha-epithelial Na+ channel, and increased Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) activity and Na+/K+-ATPase-alpha1 protein abundance. Thus, these data indicate that dexamethasone treatment might be of benefit in patients with seawater aspiration-induced ALI.
