Objective To develop and evaluate the digital discrimination system for pancreatic ultrasound endoscopy images. Methods EUS images of 153 pancreatic cancer and 63 non-cancer cases were selected. According to the multi-fractal feature vectors based on the M-band wavelet transform, we acquired the fractal features with lower dimension with the feature screening algorithm. With the optimal feature combination, cases were classified into pancreatic cancer group and non-pancreatic cancer group automatically.Then the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this method were calculated, and compared with those of traditional 9 dimension fractal feature vectors. Results Three kinds of multi-fractal dimensions were introduced to the framework of M-band wavelet transform according to the EUS images to form fractal vectors of 18 dimension. With the selection by sequence forward search (SFS) algorithm, 7 dimension of feature vectors were chosen and were combined with bi-order multi-fractal dimension to a better feature combination. The Bayes, support vector machine (SVM) and ModestAdaBoost classifiers were introduced to evaluate the classification efficiency, resulting in a classification accuracy of 97.98% and short running time of 0. 49 s with lower feature dimension. Conclusion These data suggest the feasibility, accuracy, noninvasiveness and efficacy of classification of EUS images to differentiate pancreatic cancer from normal tissue based on the Mband wavelet transform algorithm. It is a new and valuable research area in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:For severe skin defects which are deep to dermis, engineered skin with epidermis and dermis (bilayered) is required. Based on the success of engineering epidermis with GT/PCL electrospun membranes, our study was to investigate whether this membrane could be also used for engineering bilayered skin graft.Methods:From 2013 to 2019, we first prepared three GT/PCL electrospun membranes with different proportion (70∶30; 50∶50; 30∶70) in our laboratory; the biocompatibility of the membrane was evaluated in vitro by seeding fibroblasts or keratinocytes on the membranes. Then the outcome of GT/PCL membranes repairing skin defects in the nude mouse was investigated.Results:Cell attachment and proliferation were significantly improved with increase of gelatin. Histological analyses showed that bilayered skin engineered with GT/PCL (70∶30) group could form relatively better structure after 3 weeks of cultivation in vitro. Further in vivo transplantation studies revealed that scaffolds were not degraded in all three groups, indicating that these materials were not suitable for engineering bilayered skin although they had good biocompatibility.Conclusions:The higher gelatin membranes possess better biocompatibility. Further in vivo transplantation studies reveal that bilayered skin engineered with GT/PCL membranes is able to repair skin defects in the nude mouse.

Objective:To investigate the current status of professional identity among the clinical medical postgraduates and its correlation with mentoring function and professional competency, so as to provide reference for optimizing the training mode of clinical medicine postgraduates.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 217 academic and professional full-time postgraduates from Batch 2016 to 2018 majoring in clinical medicine in Peking University Health Science Center in 2019. The contents included four aspects: basic information, preliminary questionnaire of professional identity, mentoring function scale and professional competency. SPSS 26.0 was used for t test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Pearson correlation analysis to analyze the status of professional identity and its correlation with professional competency and mentoring function. Results:Both professional and academic clinical medicine postgraduates had high scores of the overall level and four factors, and there was no statistical significance in the scores between the two groups ( P >0.05). There were significant differences in the overall level, behavior and appropriateness of professional identity among different grades of professional postgraduates ( P<0.05). Correlation study showed that the professional identity was significantly positively correlated with the total score of professional competency and mentoring function ( P<0.001). Further interview survey showed that the role of supervisor and employment prospects also played an important role in the elevation of professional identity. Conclusion:The overall degree of professional identity of academic and professional postgraduates is good and closely related to professional competency and mentoring function and for professional postgraduates, the overall level of professional identity of senior students is better. It is suggested that besides focusing on their professional competency, it is necessary to further optimize the employment policy of academic postgraduates and the training of tutors for professional postgraduates.

Objective:To measure the changes in the orbital and nasal parameters before and after Tessier box osteotomy with primary aesthetic rhinoplasty concurrently with byotogenous costochondral graft.Methods:From 2013 to 2018, 60 hypertelorism patients were treated in our craniofacial center. Correction involved a classic Tessier box osteotomy combined with aesthetic augmentation and reconstruction of the nasal dorsum using a costochondral graft. All patients underwent photographic and tomographic documentation both before and 12 months after surgery. Patients underwent morphometric analysis to document the changes in interorbital distance (IOD) and aesthetic nasal parameters, including the nasal dorsum and alar width, the nasal dorsal height, and the index of nasal apex protrusion versus nasal length.Results:All patients were satisfied with the outcome of the combined orbital and nasal repair. Morphometric analysis indicated that the IOD and aesthetic nasal parameters all improved following surgery. The resorption rate of the costochondral graft was 16-19%, and graft warpage was nearly absent. Although complications so as infection, cerebrospinal fluid leak or hyposomia, no severe or life-threatening complications occurred.Conclusions:Tessier box osteotomy with primary aesthetic rhinoplasty using costochondral grafts has showed to be efficacious in the treatment of patients with hypertelorism.
