RESUMO
Objective To explore and analyze the effect and value of combined detection of urine neutrophil gelatin-associated apolipoprotein (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) in the early diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy.Methods The clinical data of 116 patients with coronary heart disease who received coronary intervention treatment in our hospital in 2017 were collected with forward-looking research methods.The patients were divided into the non-contrast-induced nephropathy group (control group, n=90) and the contrast-induced nephropathy group (observation group, n=26) according to the occurrence of contrast-induced nephropathy.The levels of serum creatinine, serum urea nitrogen, urine NGAL and KIM-1 were compared at different time points between the two groups.Results From 2 days after surgery, the serum creatinine levels were increased significantly (P<0.05).The serum creatinine levels at 2 days after surgery (102.43±20.31) μmol/L and 3 days after surgery (107.22±25.13) μmol/L in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group[ (92.89±16.74) μmol/L, (91.97±15.38) μmol/L];The serum urea nitrogen levels in the observation group were increased significantly from 12 hafter surgery (P<0.05);the serum urea nitrogen levels of the observation group at 12 h, 1 d, 2 dand 3 dafter surgery were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05);The urine NGAL levels at 4 and 12 hour and 1 and 2 days after surgery in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group;The KIM-1 levels at 1 day after surgery (5.14±0.96) μg/L and 2 days after surgery (5.58±1.33) μg/L in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group [ (3.58±1.23) μg/L, (3.64±1.15) μg/L], and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between urinary NGAL at 4 hours postoperatively and serum creatinine at2 days postoperatively (r=0.784, P=0.000), and positively correlated with serum urea nitrogen level at 1 day postoperatively (r=0.811, P=0.000).The KIM-1 level at 1 day postoperatively was positively correlated with the serum creatinine level at 2 days postoperatively (r=0.596, P=0.000), and positively correlated with the serum urea nitrogen level at 2 days postoperatively (r=0.644, P=0.000).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of urine NGAL was 0.917[95%confidence interval (CI) :0.884-0.951], the sensitivity was 86.74%, and the specificity was 93.92%;AUC of KIM-1 was 0.842 (95%CI:0.755-0.901), the sensitivity was 81.16%, and the specificity was 83.47%.Conclusion Urine NGAL and KIM-1 are biochemical markers that can early react to the impairment of renal function, and have positive value in the early diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy.
RESUMO
Objective: To understand the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of outbreaks on acute gastroenteritis caused by sapovirus (SaV) worldwide. Methods: Literature about the outbreaks on acute gastroenteritis caused by SaV were retrieved from the databases including WanFang, CNKI, PubMed and Web of Science after evaluation. Time, geography, setting and population distributions of outbreaks, transmission mode, SaV genotype and clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 34 papers about SaV were included, involving 146 outbreaks occurred between October 1976 and April 2016. In these papers, 138 outbreaks were reported on the related months. All these outbreaks occurred in northern hemisphere. SaV outbreaks occurred all year around, but mainly in cold season, the incidence was highest in December (25 outbreaks) and lowest in in August (2 outbreaks). Most outbreaks were reported by Japan, followed by Canada, the United States of America and the Netherlands. There were 141 outbreaks for which the occurring settings were reported, child-care settings were most commonly reported setting (48/141, 34.04%), followed by long-term care facility (41/141, 29.08%) and hospital (16/141, 11.35%). Clinical symptoms of 1 704 cases in 31 outbreaks were reported, with the most common symptom was diarrhea (1 331/1 704, 78.12%), followed by nausea (829/1 198, 69.20%), abdominal pain (840/1 328, 63.25%), vomiting (824/1 704, 48.36%) and fever (529/1 531, 34.53%). Genotypes of SaV were determined for 119 outbreaks. GⅠ(51/119, 42.86%) and GⅣ (45/119, 37.82%) were predominant. The outbreaks of GⅣ SaV increased suddenly in 2007, and the outbreaks of GⅠ SaV mainly occurred in 2008 and during 2011-2013. Conclusions: SaV outbreaks were reported mainly by developed countries, with most outbreaks occurred in cold season, in child-care settings and long term care facility. GⅠ and GⅣ were the most common genotypes of SaV. Prevention and control of SaV outbreak in China seemed relatively weak, and it is necessary to conduct related training and to strengthen the SaV outbreak surveillance in areas where service is in need.

RESUMO
Frame rate up conversion (FRUC) can improve the visual quality by interpolating new intermediate frames. However, high frame rate videos by FRUC are confronted with more bitrate consumption or annoying artifacts of interpolated frames. In this paper, a novel integration framework of FRUC and high efficiency video coding (HEVC) is proposed based on rate-distortion optimization, and the interpolated frames can be reconstructed at encoder side with low bitrate cost and high visual quality. First, joint motion estimation (JME) algorithm is proposed to obtain robust motion vectors, which are shared between FRUC and video coding. What's more, JME is embedded into the coding loop and employs the original motion search strategy in HEVC coding. Then, the frame interpolation is formulated as a rate-distortion optimization problem, where both the coding bitrate consumption and visual quality are taken into account. Due to the absence of original frames, the distortion model for interpolated frames is established according to the motion vector reliability and coding quantization error. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can achieve 21% ~ 42% reduction in BDBR, when compared with the traditional methods of FRUC cascaded with coding.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the etiology of male urethral stricture,analyze the therapeutic strategies of urethral stricture,and summarize the complicated cases.Methods:The data of 183 patients with urethral stricture were retrospectively analyzed,including etiology,obstruction site,stricture length,therapeutic strategy,and related complications.Results:The mean age was 49.7 years,the average course was 64.7 months,and the constituent ratio of51 to 65 years old patients was 38.8% (71/183).The traumatic injury of patients accounted for 52.4% (96/183),in which the pelvic fracture accounted for 35.5% (65/183) and the straddle injury accounted for 16.9% (31/183).There were 54 cases of iatrogenic injury (29.5%).The posterior urethral stricture accounted for 45.9% (84/183),followed by the anterior urethral stricture (44.8%,82/183) and the stenosis (6.6%,12/183).A total of 99 patients (54.1%) received the end to end anastomosis,and 40 (21.9%) were treated with intracavitary surgery,such as endoscopic holmium laser,cold knife incision,endoscopic electroknife scar removal,balloon dilation,and urethral dilation.In the patients over 65-years old,the urethral stricture rate was 14.8% and the complication rate (70.4%) for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was significantly higher than that of all samples (P< 0.01).Conclusion:Both the etiology of male urethral stricture and the treatment strategy have changed and the incidence of traumatic and iatrogenic urethral stricture has increased in recent 3 years.The main treatment of urethral stricture has been transformed from endoscopic surgery into urethroplasty.
RESUMO
Objective@#To analyze the infection characteristics of patients in acute gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by noroviruses.@*Methods@#Between April 2014 and March 2016, the clinical data and samples were collected from the patients in acute gastroenteritis outbreaks caused by noroviruses in Beijing. Noroviruses were detected and genotyped using real time RT-PCR, and the infection characteristics of norovirus gastroenteritis were analyzed using the descriptive epidemiological method.@*Results@#A total of 1743 clinical diagnosed cases of norovirus gastroenteritis were collected, and children under 12 years old accounted for 77.68% (1354/1743). The detection rate of noroviruses was 73.98% (509/688). The detection rates of noroviruses in fecal, swab and vomitus samples were gradually decreased (χ2=67.798, P<0.001). Among these clinical diagnosed cases, vomiting was the most common symptom (93.98%), followed by abdominal pain (40.34%), diarrhea (30.35%) and fever (27.94%). The most common symptom of patients under 6 years old was vomiting(98.14%), whereas diarrhea was most common among over 18 years old patients (68.12%). With the increase of age of the patients, the incidence of vomiting was gradually decreased (χ2=100.913, P<0.001), whereas the incidence of diarrhea was gradually increased (χ2=261.164, P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms between patients infected with genogroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ noroviruses, and patients infected with genogroup Ⅱ (34.49%, 149/432) had the higher incidence rate of fever than that of genogroup Ⅰ (18.18%, 14/77) (χ2=7.985, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#Noroviruses mainly infected children under 12 years old in acute gastroentertis outbreaks. The most common symptom of patients with acute gastroenteritis caused by noroviruses was vomiting, and the incidences of vomiting and diarrhea were significantly correlated with age of the patients. Patients infected with genogroup Ⅱ had the higher incidence rate of fever than genogroup Ⅰ infection.

RESUMO
Objective The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficiency of the man-agement of male children with bladder stones by percutaneous suprapubic cystolithotripsy(PCCL). Methods From Au-gust 2008 to September 2012,40 cases of male children with bladder stones were undergone by percutaneous suprapu-bic cystolithotripsy(PCCL). The age of patients was ranged from 1 to 9 years. The size of stones was ranged from 10 to 35 mm. Results All the patients were operated successfully only once by percutaneous suprapubic cystolithotripsy(PC-CL). All the stones were eliminated at a rate of 100%and there were no over bleeding,infection,perforation,urine fis-tula and other complications. During a follow-up period of 1 to 10 months there was no stone recurrence and urethral stenosis. Conclusion Percutaneous suprapubic cystolithotripsy (PCCL)is a safe,high-effect and accurate lithotripsy method for the treatment of male children with bladder stones,and it is worthy of wide application.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment methods of traumatic renal infarction.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 6 cases of traumatic renal infarction treated between September 2008 and February 2013.There were 5 males and 1 female,at age of 5-65 years (average,36.2 years).Causes of injury included vehicle collisions in 4 cases and high falls in 2.Out of 6 cases,segmental renal infarction was identified in 2 and total infarction in 4.According to American Association for the surgery of trauma renal trauma grading system,2 cases were classified to grade Ⅳ and 4 to grade Ⅴ.Results Three cases were managed conservatively,which showed segmental infarction in 1 case and total infarction in 2.Three cases underwent surgical exploration,followed by partial nephrectomy in 1 case,left kidney removal plus partial pancreectomy in 1 and right kidney removal in 1.There were no major complications intraoperatively or postoperatively and no cases received blood transfusion.Period of follow-up was 3-34 months.In conservative management,there were no renal atrophies in segmental renal infarction cases and some degree of atrophies in total renal infarction cases,but none presented with arterial hypertension.Conclusions Enhanced CT is the preferred diagnostic tool for evaluation of traumatic renal infarction.Conservative therapy is the optimal option for most cases,but nephrectomy is reserved for cases of infection or renal hypertension.
RESUMO
Support Vector Machine (SVM) is an efficient novel method originated from the statistical learning theory. It is powerful in machine learning to solve problems with finite samples. Due to the deficiency of cancer cells, character of patient and noise in the raw data, it is very difficult to diagnose early cancer accurately. In this paper, SVM is employed in detecting early cancer and the results are encouraged compared with conventional methods. The accuracy of Non-linear SVM classifier is especially high in all kinds of classifiers, which indicates the potential application of SVM in early cancer detection.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the antileukemic effect in relapse patients by infusion of donor immunocompetent cells with or without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty patients with leukemia in relapse after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) were treated with chemotherapy followed by donor-derived lymphocytes (DDL) without G-CSF mobilization (Group A, n = 11), or donor peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) with G-CSF mobilization (Group B, n = 9).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Five patients in Group A were in hematologic relapse. After DDL infusion, 3 of 5 patients had a temporary complete remission (CR) and relapsed after 3, 7 and 10 months, respectively. One achieved partial remission and died of interstitial pneumonia; and the other one showed no response. Another 6 patients in Group A were in cytogenetic relapse or central nerve system (CNS) leukemia, and all achieved CR and remained in disease free survival (DFS) for 10 to 98 months after DDL infusion. All 9 patients in group B were in hematologic relapse. Three patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) had cytogenetic and molecular remission for 16, 35 and 51 months, respectively after PBPC infusion; and 5 patients with acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) had CR and were still in CR for 10 to 18 months except 1 patient relapsed soon. And the other one with AML showed no response to the therapy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Donor immunocompetent cells infusion is an effective therapy for relapsed leukemia after allo-BMT, especially for the patients with early (molecular and cytogenetic) or CNS relapse. Infusion of donor PBPC mobilized by G-CSF seems to have more potentiated graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect than DDL infusion.</p>

Image registration methods based on mutual information, including mutual information and normalized mutual information, have been accepted as the most accurate and efficient methods. But there are many fluctuations in the registration functions that hinder the optimization procedure and lead to registration failure in intra-modal registration. We found that besides the interpolation artifacts, the uncertainty of the changing of entropy with the changing of overlap also contributes to the fluctuations. The effect of interpolation artifacts can be eliminated, but it is difficult to eliminate the effect of uncertainty of entropy. Luckily, this effect is not significant in normalized mutual information. Normalized mutual information is more stable and robust than standard mutual information and its better performance and wider application can be expected.
