In this paper a new super-resolution image reconstruction algorithm was proposed. With the improvement of the classical projection onto convex sets (POCS) algorithm, as ground work, and with the combined use of POCS and wavelet fusion, a high resolution CT image was restored by using a group of low resolution CT images. The experimental results showed: the proposed algorithm improves the ability of fusing different information, the detail of the image is more prominent, and the image quality is better.

In response to the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance, Innovation, and Development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the spirit of the National Conference on TCM, Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of traditional Chinese and western medicine to discuss the clinical advantages of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) and they reached a basic consensus. In recent years, the prevalence of AR has been on the rise, threatening the quality of life of patients and giving rise to a heavy burden to both the patients and the society. AR is resulted from immune imbalance rather than reduced immunity or hyperimmunity, and the imbalance is similar to the Yin-yang disharmony in TCM. In the treatment of this disease, western medicine features rapid onset. However, it is cost-intensive and causes severe surgical trauma, and the recurrence is common. TCM boasts diverse methods for AR, which can be used in all stages of this disease. It has advantages in controlling symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, or dysosmia in the attack stage, preventing recurrence in the remission stage, and treating refractory AR or steroid-resistant AR. In particular, acupuncture enjoys a reputation in treatment of AR, which has been supported by evidence-based medicine and recommended by guidelines. While treating local symptoms of AR, TCM regulates the psychosomatic conditions, which facilitates chronic disease management and long-term follow-up. We should integrate the advantages of TCM and western medicine, give full play to the unique nonnegligible and irreplaceable advantages of TCM, formulate a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment scheme for learning and promotion, and summarize the research outcomes to promote the theoretical innovation of TCM on AR from the perspective of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.
