The cardiac function characteristics and nursing measures of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma complicated with cardiomyo... by YAN Ying (闫莹), HE Xin (贺欣)

“…Methods The clinical data of 38 cases of patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for the treatment of growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma complicated with cardiomyopathy were collected and analyzed, Using echocardiography to detect the growth hormone(GH) level, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), septal thickness(ST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) to comparative analysis of cardiac function were made in these patients before surgery and after 3 months. Results GH level, LVIDD, ST, LVPWT and LVEF after resection of pituitary tumor were significantly improved compared with those before resection(P<0. 05). …”

Deep learning-based prediction of multi-level just noticeable distortion by Haifeng XU, Hongkui WANG, Haibing YIN, Chuqiao CHEN

“…Visual just noticeable distortion (JND) directly reflects the sensitivity of the human visual system to visual signal noise, and is widely used in image and video processing.Aiming at the multilevel prediction problem of video JND threshold, it was transformed into the prediction problem of satisfied user ratio (SUR) curve, and a feature fusion-based SUR curve prediction model was proposed.The model was mainly divided into key frame extraction module, feature extraction and fusion module, and SUR score regression module.In the key frame extraction module, according to the visual perception mechanism, the spatial-temporal domain perception complexity was proposed and used as the video key frame judgment index.In the feature extraction and fusion module, a multi-scale dense residual network was proposed based on dense residual block (RDB) to realize image feature extraction and multi-scale fusion.The experimental results show that the proposed SUR curve prediction model is overall better than the existing models in terms of JND prediction accuracy and reduces the time cost by 8.1% on average in terms of operational efficiency.Meanwhile, the model can also be used to predict other layers of JND thresholds, which can be directly applied to video multilevel perceptual coding optimization.…”
