Filtered backprojection algorithms are widely used in the commercial CT systems.The projection data and the object functions all belong to the real number area in applications of CT image reconstruction.The reconstruction algorithm based on Fourier transform involves lots of complex number operations.It's an inherent characteristic in computation.Because of the real number transform characteristic of Hartley transform comparing with Fourier transform,the signals and images in the real number area can be processed using Hartley transform instead of Fourier transform.Based on the geometrical relationships between image pixels and projection rays at different viewing angles,a Multi-orientation simultaneous computation of backprojection for tomographic image reconstruction(MSBP) approach is proposed.In this paper,the filtered backprojection algorithms of CT image reconstruction are realized by using FHT and MSBP.The algorithms may lead to the reduction of the memory space and can reduce the amount of calculation while retaining the precision.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of glypican-3 (GPC3) in the diaganosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),the contents of GPC3 in the serum and tissues of HCC patients were detected.Methods ELISA and immunohistochemical staining were applied to detect GPC3 expressing level in the serum and tissues in 79 cases with HCC,35 cases with post-hepatitis cirrhosis and 30 normal liver specimens and the resuits were compared.The influential factor of GPC3 content in the patients with HCC was analyzed by logistic regression model.Results The serum level of GPC3 in patients with HCC was (143.02±40.26) μg/L which was signifcantly higher than that in patients with post-hepatitis cirrhosis [(6.15±4.31) μg/L] and healthy controls [(4.47±3.22) μg/L] (all P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of GPC3 was signifeantly higher in post-hepatitis cirrhosis tumor-adjacent tissue and tumor-distant tissue.The expression levels of GPC3 was significantly positively correlated with tumor presence of distant mestasis (x2 =13.182,P ＜ 0.0) and clinical stage (x2 =4.250,P ＜ 0.05),and not correlated with sex,age,tumor size and the level of AFP inserum (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion GPC3 is specific the diagnosis of HCC.The joint diagnosis of GPC3 and AFP will improve the sensitivity of HCC.Therefore,GPC3 could as a biomarker for evaluating HCC condition and prognsis.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of phase Ⅰ cardiac rehabilitation exercise on patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:Convenient sampling method was adopted, totally 84 acute myocardial infarction patients after PCI was randomized into an observation group and control group. Both groups accepted general nursing care. The observation group also accepted the phase Ⅰ cardiac rehabilitation exercise. Cardiac ultrasonic, the 6-minute walk test were used to evaluate the patients′ cardiac function and exercise tolerance, the SF-12 were used to evaluate the quality of life.Results:After repeated measurement ANOVA, before the intervention, there was no significant difference in cardiac function and quality of life between the two groups ( P>0.05); before discharge, the 6-minute walk distance of the observation group was longer than that of the control group, and the difference was significant( F value was 5.279, P=0.024). At 1 month after discharge, there were significant differences in the LVEF( F value was 8.119, P=0.006) and 6-minute walking distance( F value was 9.829, P=0.002) between the two groups ( P<0.05), analysis of the six items of SF-12 including general health( F value was 6.905, P=0.010), physical functioning( F value was 10.595, P=0.002), role physical( F value was 11.168, P=0.001), bodily pain( F value was 12.548, P=0.001), mental health( F value was 7.362, P=0.008) and vitality( F value was 13.692, P<0.001) having shown significant differences between the two groups. At 3 months after discharge, there were significant differences in the LVEF( F value was 11.156, P=0.001), 6-minute walk distance( F value was 16.554, P<0.001)and quality of life in all dimensions between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Phase Ⅰ cardiac rehabilitation exercise can improve cardiac function and the quality of life in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI, and enhance the exercise tolerance.

Patient satisfaction is one of the core indicators to measure the service quality of medical institutions. To this end, a multi-campus public hospital in Shanghai constructed a management system of patient satisfaction evaluation. Since 2021, its call center has conducted a full coverage satisfaction assessment for discharged patients from its three campuses and collected dissatisfaction information feedback. The hospital organized relevant clinical departments and functional departments to fully communicate with the dissatisfied patients according to the feedback information, followed by a joint rectification. The hospital regularly conducts in-depth analysis of all complaints for timely discovery of common problems in different campuses for continuous improvement. This practice can provide reference for multi-campus hospitals to promote homogeneous management, to improve management efficiency, service quality and patient satisfaction.

Background::The pharmacokinetic and clinical behaviors of many proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in peptic ulcer treatment are altered by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms. This non-inferiority study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the novel PPI anaprazole compared with rabeprazole. We also explored the influence of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection status and CYP2C19 polymorphism on anaprazole. Methods::In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-drug parallel-controlled, phase III study, Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers were randomized 1:1 to receive rabeprazole 10 mg + anaprazole placebo or rabeprazole placebo + anaprazole 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the 4-week ulcer healing rate assessed by blinded independent review. Secondary endpoints were the proportion of patients with improved overall and individual duodenal ulcer symptoms at 4 weeks. Furthermore, exploratory subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint by H. pylori status and CYP2C19 polymorphism was conducted. Adverse events were monitored for safety. Non-inferiority analysis was conducted for the primary endpoint. Results::The study enrolled 448 patients (anaprazole, n = 225; rabeprazole, n = 223). The 4-week healing rates were 90.9% and 93.7% for anaprazole and rabeprazole, respectively (difference, -2.8% [95% confidence interval, -7.7%, 2.2%]), demonstrating non-inferiority of anaprazole to rabeprazole. Overall duodenal ulcer symptoms improved in 90.9% and 92.5% of patients, respectively. Improvement rates of individual symptoms were similar between the groups. Healing rates did not significantly differ by H. pylori status or CYP2C19 genotype for either treatment group. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar for anaprazole (72/220, 32.7%) and rabeprazole (84/219, 38.4%). Conclusions::The efficacy of anaprazole is non-inferior to that of rabeprazole in Chinese patients with duodenal ulcers.Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04215653.

Objective: To develop a health literacy evaluation scale for Chinese high school students, providing a tool for dynamic monitoring of health literacy among high school students and evaluating the effectiveness of health school construction. Methods: Through theoretical research, an evaluation index system for health literacy of Chinese high school students was constructed. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultations were conducted to quantitatively screen the items, and the item pool was revised based on expert opinions to compile the health literacy evaluation scale for Chinese students. Two focus group interviews were held to collect suggestions from health educators, high school teachers, and high school students regarding optimized scale length, question types, difficulty and wording of the scale. The scale was revised accordingly. A pilot survey was conducted in Beijing and Tianjin in November 2024, and the reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated based on the pilot survey data. Results: The response rate in both rounds of Delphi expert consultations was over 80%, and the expert authority coefficient was over 0.70. The expert opinions were highly concentrated, and the dispersion was small. The revised item pool based on expert opinions contained 39 items. The revised scale based on the suggestions and opinions collected from the focus group interviews had a moderate number of questions and difficulty level. The pilot survey obtained 800 valid responses, with the response rate of 89.39%. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.911, χ 2/df =3.321, the root mean square error of approximation was 0.054, the adjusted goodness-of-fit index was 0.991 , and the factor loadings of some items were less than 0.40. Conclusion The health literacy evaluation scale for Chinese high school students demonstrates scientific rigor and practical applicability, with good internal consistency and structural validity.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the overall demand for rehabilitation services from the perspective of the groups with disabilities, diseases, injuries and older adults, and explore the causes of the supply and demand gap of rehabilitation services. MethodsThe literatures in the field of rehabilitation were collected, summarized and analyzed, including policy documents issued by World Health Organization and relevant departments in China, surveys, and researches. ResultsThe demand for rehabilitation services caused by disabilities, chronic diseases, injuries and population ageing were vast in China, but many were still unmet. The main reasons leading to the gap included those population trend and health situation, the insufficient reserve of rehabilitation resources coming from incomplete development of rehabilitation service system early, and inadequate construction of disability reporting system, which could not efficiently meet rehabilitation demand with supply. ConclusionThe strategies to optimize the rehabilitation services system and promote the quality of the services based on the disability reporting system are warranted.

BACKGROUND: Insufficient cerebral perfusion is suggested to play a role in the development of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, there is a lack of direct evidence indicating whether hypoperfusion causes or aggravates AD pathology. We investigated the effect of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion on AD-related pathology in humans. METHODS: We enrolled a group of cognitively normal patients (median age: 64 years) with unilateral chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Regions of interest with the most pronounced hypoperfusion changes were chosen in the hypoperfused region and were then mirrored in the contralateral hemisphere to create a control region with normal perfusion. 11C-Pittsburgh compound-positron emission tomography standard uptake ratios and brain atrophy indices were calculated from the computed tomography images of each patient. RESULTS: The median age of the 10 participants, consisting of 4 males and 6 females, was 64 years (47-76 years). We found that there were no differences in standard uptake ratios of the cortex (volume of interest [VOI]: P = 0.721, region of interest [ROI]: P = 0.241) and grey/white ratio (VOI: P = 0.333, ROI: P = 0.445) and brain atrophy indices (Bicaudate, Bifrontal, Evans, Cella, Cella media, and Ventricular index, P > 0.05) between the hypoperfused regions and contralateral normally perfused regions in patients with unilateral chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that chronic hypoperfusion due to large vessel stenosis may not directly induce cerebral β-amyloid deposition and neurodegeneration in humans.
