Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of iliofemoral endovascular therapy for the treatment of chronic ischemia of lower extremities due to arterial atherosclerosis. Methods During the period of September 2005-January 2009 percutaneous endovascular angioplasty and stent implantation were performed in 15 consecutive patients with CTA-proved chronic occlusive iliofemoral artery disease. The patients included 11 males and 4 females with a mean age of (72.1 ± 5.9) years (ranged from 61 to 82 years). Before the procedure, all patients underwent clinical and imaging assessments, including Fontaine classification, ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), and lower limb computed tomography angiography (CTA). According to the length, morphology and location of the occlusive segment, different types of stents were employed together with pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to treat the occluded lilac or superficial femoral artery. At the end of the procedure, distal angiogram was performed to assess the success of the procedure and to exclude thromboembolism or dissection complications. After PTA, the residual stenosis < 30% and/or pressure gradient < 10 mmHg were defined as technical success. Clinical success was identified when patient's clinical symptoms were improved by one or more grade according to Fontaine classification. Results Technical success was totally achieved in all patients with no occurrence of complication. Recanalization of the occluded artery was performed preferably by retrograde ipsilateral femoral artery approach in 5 patients and by contralateral access using the crossover aorta technique in 10 patients. PTA was performed in all patients after stent release to open the occluded vessel to its normal diameter. The mean length of the lilac arterial segment covered with 8 stents was (7.6 ± 1.4) cm (ranged from 6 cm to 10 cm). The mean diameter ± SD of the iliac stents was 9.5 mm ± 1.4 mm (ranged from 8 mm to 12 mm). The mean length of 5 superficial artery implanted stents was (4.5 ± 1.1) cm (ranged from 4 cm to 6 cm). The mean ABI before treatment and six months after treatment was 0.64 (range 0.41 to 0.89) and 0.76 (range 0.50 to 0.95), respectively. The difference in ABI between pre-interventional and post-interventional procedure was statistically significant (t = -4.64, P < 0.01). Clinical improvements according to Fontaine classification were obtained in all patients, in whom technical success was achieved (100%). Conclusion Endovascular interventional procedure is a safe and effective treatment for iliofemoral arterial occlusive disease due to arterial atherosclerosis. PTA combined with subsequent stent implantation can well improve the patient's quality of life as well as the hemodynamics of lower extremities, which is very important for preserving the diseased limb for a long period of time.

Objective To investigate the detectable rate and correlative factors of behavior problems among Hui nationality left-behind children in Ningxia rural area.Methods 1394 children,between 6 and 15 years old,of which 282 were Hui nationality children and 112 were Hui left-behind children,were selected from six primary schools and two junior middle schools using cluster random sampling method in Yongning,Ningxia.All of them were assessed by the Achenbach 's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and self-designed General Information Questionnaire.Logistic regression method was used to analyze the correlative factors of behavior problems.Results The detectable rate of behavior problems among Hui nationality children between 6 and 15 years old was 31.25％,which was higher than the Han nationality left-behind children' s(17.84％) and Hui nationality nonleft-behind children' s (14.12％).Among the Hui left-behind children,those who between 6 and 11 years old,had been left alone between 5 and 7,and whose parents exchanging ideas with teachers less than one time a month had higher detectable rates (x2 =14.904,6.327,7.904,P ＜ 0.05).Among the Hui ethnic children,the detectable rates of those who between 6 and 11 yeas old were higher than that of the non-left-behind children' s(P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that Hui ethnic left-behind children between 12 and 15 years old (OR =0.179) and those whose parents contacted with their teachers frequently(OR =0.362) had less possibilities to attach behavior problems.Conclusion The detectable rate of behavior problems among Hui nationality left-behind Children between 6 andl5 years old in Ningxia is higher,and the correlative factors are complex.

Objective To propose a deep learning-based retinal image quality classification network, FA-Net,to make convolutional neural network ( CNN) more suitable for image quality assessment in eye disease screening system. Methods The main network of FA-Net was composed of VGG-19. On this basis,attention mechanism was added to the CNN. By using transfer learning method in training, the weight of ImageNet was used to initialize the network. The attention net is based on foreground extraction by extracting the blood vessel and suspected regions of lesion and assigning higher weights to region of interest to enhance the learning of these important areas. Results Total of 2894 fundus images were used for training FA-Net. FA-Net achieved 97. 65％ classification accuracy on a test set containing 2170 fundus images,with the sensitivity and specificity of 0. 978 and 0. 960,respectively,and the area under curve(AUC) was 0. 995. Conclusions Compared with other CNNs,the proposed FA-Net has better classification performance and can evaluate retinal fundus image quality more accurately and efficiently. The network takes into account the human visual system ( HVS) and human attention mechanism. By adding attention module into the VGG-19 network structure, the classification results can be better interpreted as well as better classification performance.

Objective:To evaluate the efficiency of ResNet50-OC model based on deep learning for multiple classification of color fundus photographs.Methods:The proprietary dataset (PD) collected in July 2018 in BenQ Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and EyePACS dataset were included.The included images were classified into five types of high quality, underexposure, overexposure, blurred edges and lens flare according to clinical ophthalmologists.There were 1 000 images (800 from EyePACS and 200 from PD) for each type in the training dataset and 500 images (400 from EyePACS and 100 from PD) for each type in the testing dataset.There were 5 000 images in the training dataset and 2 500 images in the testing dataset.All images were normalized and augmented.The transfer learning method was used to initialize the parameters of the network model, on the basis of which the current mainstream deep learning classification networks (VGG, Inception-resnet-v2, ResNet, DenseNet) were compared.The optimal network ResNet50 with best accuracy and Micro F1 value was selected as the main network of the classification model in this study.In the training process, the One-Cycle strategy was introduced to accelerate the model convergence speed to obtain the optimal model ResNet50-OC.ResNet50-OC was applied to multi-class classification of fundus image quality.The accuracy and Micro F1 value of multi-classification of color fundus photographs by ResNet50 and ResNet50-OC were evaluated.Results:The multi-classification accuracy and Micro F1 values of color fundus photographs of ResNet50 were significantly higher than those of VGG, Inception-resnet-v2, ResNet34 and DenseNet.The accuracy of multi-classification of fundus photographs in the ResNet50-OC model was 98.77% after 15 rounds of training, which was higher than 98.76% of the ResNet50 model after 50 rounds of training.The Micro F1 value of multi-classification of retinal images in ResNet50-OC model was 98.78% after 15 rounds of training, which was the same as that of ResNet50 model after 50 rounds of training.Conclusions:The proposed ResNet50-OC model can be accurate and effective in the multi-classification of color fundus photograph quality.One-Cycle strategy can reduce the frequency of training and improve the classification efficiency.

Objective:To observe and analyze the accuracy of the optic disc positioning and segmentation method of fundus images based on deep learning.Methods:The model training strategies were training and evaluating deep learning-based optic disc positioning and segmentation methods on the ORIGA dataset. A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) was built on the Caffe framework of deep learning. A sliding window was used to cut the original image of the ORIGA data set into many small pieces of pictures, and the deep CNN was used to determine whether each small piece of picture contained the complete disc structure, so as to find the area of the disc. In order to avoid the influence of blood vessels on the segmentation of the optic disc, the blood vessels in the optic disc area were removed before segmentation of the optic disc boundary. A deep network of optic disc segmentation based on image pixel classification was used to realize the segmentation of the optic disc of fundus images. The accuracy of the optic disc positioning and segmentation method was calculated based on deep learning of fundus images. Positioning accuracy=T/N, T represented the number of fundus images with correct optic disc positioning, and N represented the total number of fundus images used for positioning. The overlap error was used to compare the difference between the segmentation result of the optic disc and the actual boundary of the optic disc.Results:On the dataset from ORIGA, the accuracy of the optic disc localization can reach 99.6%, the average overlap error of optic disc segmentation was 7.1%. The calculation errors of the average cup-to-disk ratio for glaucoma images and normal images were 0.066 and 0.049, respectively. Disc segmentation of each image took an average of 10 ms.Conclusion:The algorithm can locate the disc area quickly and accurately, and can also segment the disc boundary more accurately.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of externalizing behavior problems (EBPs) and its influencing factors among Hui left-behind children (LBC) in rural China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among school students from the southern rural areas in Ningxia, China (2012–2013). The general self-made questionnaire, Egma Minnen av Bardndosna Uppforstran, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (for Children), Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale, and Achenbach’s Child Behavior Checklist (for parents) were used to investigate the related information. Binary logistic regressions were conducted. Results: The prevalence of EBPs in boys Hui LBC was significantly higher than that of non-LBC (12.37% vs. 6.84%, χ2=4.09, and p=0.04). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low self-awareness of behavior (odds ratio [OR]=29.78), introversion (OR=21.67) and intermediate personality (OR=15.83), poor academic performance (OR=11.65) and both parent migrating (OR=2.73) were the risk factors for the EBPs of Hui LBC, while middle and high father refusal and denial (OR=0.11, OR=0.09) were their protective factors. Conclusion Our findings suggest that both parent migrating is a potential risk factor for EBPs among Hui LBC. Hui boys LBC should be paid more attention when formulating relevant policies.
