Objective To investigate the effects of global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) and Can Rapid risk stratification of unstable angina patients suppress adverse outcomes with early implementation of the ACC/AHA guidelines(CRUSADE) score in the nursing care for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods A total of 128 patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who were admitted from March 2015 to May 2016 were enrolled in this study and divided into usual care group (63 cases) and optimized care group (65 cases). Patients in the usual care group received usual care according to the guidelines, while patients in the optimized care group received optimized care according to GRACE and CRUSADE score. The major adverse cardiac events, the incidence of bleeding complications, average hospitalization and hospitalization costs were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The characteristics of angiography (multiple vessel rate and target vessel distribution) and procedures of PCI (position, number, length and diameter of stents, coronary blood flow classification after the implantation of stents) were similar (all P>0.05). There were tendencies of reduction in the incidence of MACE, bleeding complications and average hospitalization time in patients of optimized care group compared to the usual care group, with no statistically significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The hospitalization costs in the optimized care group (33491±1982)RMB were significantly less than those in the usual care group (36562±2395)RMB. The difference was statistically significant (t=-7.914,P<0.001).Conclusions Optimized care according to GRACE and CRUSADE can improve the treatment effects of ACS patients undergoing PCI and decrease the cost.

OBJECTIVE:
To develop a deep features-based model to classify benign and malignant breast lesions on full- filed digital mammography.
METHODS:
The data of full-filed digital mammography in both craniocaudal view and mediolateral oblique view from 106 patients with breast neoplasms were analyzed. Twenty-three handcrafted features (HCF) were extracted from the images of the breast tumors and a suitable feature set of HCF was selected using -test. The deep features (DF) were extracted from the 3 pre-trained deep learning models, namely AlexNet, VGG16 and GoogLeNet. With abundant breast tumor information from the craniocaudal view and mediolateral oblique view, we combined the two extracted features (DF and HCF) as the two-view features. A multi-classifier model was finally constructed based on the combined HCF and DF sets. The classification ability of different deep learning networks was evaluated.
RESULTS:
Quantitative evaluation results showed that the proposed HCF+DF model outperformed HCF model, and AlexNet produced the best performances among the 3 deep learning models.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed model that combines DF and HCF sets of breast tumors can effectively distinguish benign and malignant breast lesions on full-filed digital mammography.
