ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the feasibility of extracting the key plane of the normal fetal palate on the 11-13 + 6 week from tomography ultrasonography imaging based on artificial intelligence. Methods:The fetal volume datas of 235 cases of 11-13 + 6 week normal fetal were collected from the Department of Ultrasound in the Luohu District People′s Hospital of Shenzhen and Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital from May 2020 to April 2021. The data acquisition was completed by sonographers A and B by using the GE Voluson E10 color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument. All datas were marked offline by sonographer C. Tomographic imaging was performed on all included data by sonographer D, the tomographic images were saved and the time-consuming was recorded, and the datas of the sonographer group were obtained. The labeled data were randomly divided into the training set and test set for model transfer learning and testing.The 4-fold cross-validation was adopted to record the test set image output by the model and the time consumption to obtain the intelligent group data. A senior sonographer performed image analysis on the two groups of data images. The feasibility of the intelligent model was verified by comparing the score of the plane of retronasal triangle(RTP), the acquisition rate of RTP, the acquisition rate of the fault, and the time-consuming difference between the sonographer group and the intelligent group. Results:①There was no significant difference in the overall distribution of RTP scores between the sonographer group and intelligent group [5 (5, 6) points vs 5 (5, 6) points, Z=0.355, P=0.722]. The RTP acquisition rate of the sonographer group and intelligent group was not statistically significant (78.72% vs 76.60%, χ 2=0.55, P=0.458). The consistency and correlation of RTP obtained by the two groups were high (Kappa=0.645, φ=0.646, both P<0.001). ②The effective layers of the sonographer group were 9 (8, 9) and the intelligent group was 8 (7, 9). The fault acquisition rate of the doctor group was higher than that of the intelligent group (78.72% vs 68.51%, χ 2=12.52, P=0.001). The consistency and correlation of the two groups in obtaining faults were media (Kappa=0.503, φ=0.521, both P<0.001). ③The time-consuming of the intelligent group was significantly lower than that of the sonographer group [1.50 (1.23, 1.75)s vs 26.94 (22.28, 30.48)s, Z=11.440, P<0.001]. Conclusions:This research model can quickly and accurately realize the extraction and tomography of the key plane of the normal fetal palate on the 11-13 + 6 week.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the value of deferred stent implantation in patients with high thrombus burden of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods Select 106 cases with a high thrombus burden within 12 hours of onset in patients with STEMI ,the infarct-related artery thrombus aspiration after antegrade flow of TIMI 2-3 and≤2 points of the thrombus aspiration(TS)patients were randomly divided into immediate stenting group(n = 43)and deferred stenting group(n = 40). Two groups of patients were compared with the myocardial blush grade(MBG),the incidence of slow-/no-reflow ,the incidence of compound endpoints in 6 months and the cardiac function after PCI for 6 months. Results After stenting,the MBG of deferred group was significantly higher than that of immediate group ,the incidence of slow-/no-reflow and the compound endpoints events within 6 months in deferred group was significantly lower than that in the immediate group. After PCI for 6 months,the improvement of LVEF in the deferred group was significantly higher than that in the immediate group, the left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD)in deferred group was significantly lower than that in immedi-ate group,and the differences were statistically significant(P < 0.05). Conclusions The high thrombus burden in patients with acute STEMI after thrombus aspiration ,deferred stent implantation can significantly reduce the rate of slow-/no-reflow ,improve myocardial perfusion ,reduce the incidence of compound endpoints events ,im-prove cardiac function in patients.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the role of active protein C (APC) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced microglia activation.MethodsMicroglia from one day old Sprague-Dawley newborn rat was collected, purified and identified by primary culture and immunofluorescence staining, and then was randomly divided into four groups including LPS group (1.0μg/ml LPS plus 10μl phosphate buffered saline 12 h later), LPS+ APC group (1.0μg/ml LPS plus 0.1μg/ml APC 12 h later), APC group (10μl phosphate buffered saline plus 0.1μg/ml APC 12 h later) and control group (10μl phosphate buffered saline at each time point). The morphology of micaroglia in all groups was observed under microscope, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) were determined by immunofluorescence staining. One-way analysis of variance and LSD test were applied for statistical analysis.ResultsPrimary culture microglia was successful and the purity was no less than 99%. In LPS group, the microglia morphology was activated, and the expression of TNF-α was increased significantly than the control group (2.11±0.35 vs 1.38±0.28, LSD test,P=0.002). In LPS+APC group, the microglia morphological change was reversed, and the expression of TNF-α had no significant difference with the control group (1.35±0.36 vs 1.38±0.28, LSD test,P>0.05). The expression of PAR-1 in LPS+APC group was higher comparing with that in the control group (4.60±0.84 vs 2.64±0.41, LSD test,P=0.008) and the LPS group (2.44±0.86, LSD test,P=0.002). The expression of PAR-1 in APC group and LPS group had no obvious difference with control group (2.62±0.69, 2.44±0.86 vs 2.64±0.41, LSD test, bothP>0.05).ConclusionsBy increasing the level of PAR-1 in microglia, active protein C could inhibit the activation of miciroglia and the expression of TNF-α induced by lipopolysaccharide, therefore, protecting the brain tissues from inflammation-induced damage.
