Real-time acquisition of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion information through thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) holds significant clinical value. This study proposes a novel method based on the rime (RIME) algorithm-optimized variational mode decomposition (VMD) to separate lung ventilation and perfusion signals directly from raw voltage data prior to EIT image reconstruction, enabling independent imaging of both parameters. To validate this approach, EIT data were collected from 16 healthy volunteers under normal breathing and inspiratory breath-holding conditions. The RIME algorithm was employed to optimize VMD parameters by minimizing envelope entropy as the fitness function. The optimized VMD was then applied to separate raw data across all measurement channels in EIT, with spectral analysis identifying relevant components to reconstruct ventilation and perfusion signals. Results demonstrated that the structural similarity index (SSIM) between perfusion images derived from normal breathing and breath-holding states averaged approximately 84% across all 16 subjects, significantly outperforming traditional frequency-domain filtering methods in perfusion imaging accuracy. This method offers a promising technical advancement for real-time monitoring of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion, holding significant value for advancing the clinical application of EIT in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases.

Objective:To report the surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of multi-dimensional fixation of patellar multi-fragmentary fractures with locking plates.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in the 26 patients with patellar multi-fragmentary fracture who had undergone open reduction and 3-D internal fixation with locking plates from November 2016 to July 2020 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There were 17 males and 9 females, with an average age of 62.6 years (from 31 to 90 years). The patellar fractures were exposed and reduced via the longitudinal anterior midline incision of the knee. After the reduction was initially maintained with a cerclage wire, a trimmed and pre-contoured 3.5 mm locking plate was applied onto the patellar surface. After-wards, locking screws were inserted from the lower pole to the upper pole of the patella, from the anterior to the posterior and from the lateral to the medial, respectively, to complete the multi-planar fixation. Follow-ups assessed the B?stman score, knee pain visual analogue scale (VAS), radiographic image and fracture healing, range of motion of the knee, and complications.Results:All the 26 patients were followed up for 12 to 56 months (average, 28 months). Crutches were used while walking until an average of 1.6 months (from 1 to 3 months) after operation in all patients. At the last follow-up, the B?stman score averaged 27.5 points (from 17 to 30 points), yielding 12 excellent, 13 good and 1 poor case with an excellent to good rate of 96.2% (25/26); the knee pain VAS averaged 1.2 points (from 0 to 5 points); the active knee flexion averaged 125° (from 100° to 150°). No breakage, loosening or displacement of the patellar plates or screws was observed during follow-up, but cerclage wire breakage occurred without any symptom in 11 cases. Four patients complained of hardware irritation, and 4 patients underwent hardware removal after fracture union.Conclusion:Multi-dimensional fixation with locking plates is a viable and safe surgical option for patellar multi-fragmentary fractures, due to its satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.

Objective : To explore the relationship between the levels of plasma lipoprotein⁃associated phospholipase A2 (LP⁃PLA2 ), lipoprotein ( a) [ LP ( a)] and the SYNTAX score in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) . Methods : A total of 416 patients diagnosed with CHD by coronary angiography ( CAG) were enrolled. According to the SYNTAX score, they were divided into three groups, 364 cases in the low⁃risk group (score of 0 - 22), 39 cases in the medium⁃risk group (score of 23 - 32), and 13 cases in the high⁃risk group (score of 33 or more) . And another 30 cases which CAG showed no significant narrowing of the coronary arteries were selected as the control group (CON), We detected and compared the differences of the levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) in various groups. According to the levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a), CHD patients were divided into four groups, 225 cases in the LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) normal group, 35 cases in the only LP(a) elevated group (≥300 mg/L), 43 cases in the only LP⁃PLA2 elevated group (≥175 ng/ml) and 113 cases in the LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) elevated group. The differences of the SYNTAX score, stenosis degree score and lesion feature score were compared. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the correlation between the levels of LP⁃PLA2, LP( a) and the SYNTAX score, stenosis degree score and lesion feature score. Results : The levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP (a) in the CHD group were significantly higher than those in the CON group (P < 0. 05) . The levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) in the subgroups according to the SYNTAX score were declining from the high⁃risk group to the low⁃risk group in decending order (P < 0. 05) . The SYNTAX score and stenosis degree score of the LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) elevated group were significantly higher than those of the only LP⁃PLA2 elevated group, the only LP( a) elevated group, the LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) normal group (P < 0. 05), but there was no significant difference in lesion feature score among the groups (P > 0. 05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the SYNTAX score, stenosis degree score and lesion feature score were positively correlated with the levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP(a) (P < 0. 05) . The multiple linear regression showed that the SYNTAX score and stenosis degree score were independently correlated with the levels of LP⁃PLA2 and LP( a) after adjusting for confounding effects ( P < 0. 05 ), while lesion feature score was only independently correlated with the levels of LP⁃PLA2 ( P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The levels of LP-PLA2 and LP(a) show a positive correlation with the SYNTAX score in patients with CHD, and both can be used as indicators to determine the severity of coronary artery disease.

Objective: To investigate the expression of ECT2 (epithelial Transforming sequence 2) gene in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Carcinoma tissues and corresponding para-carcinoma tissues from 35 PDAC patients at Changhai Hospital Affiliated to Naval Medical University from July 2018 to March 2019 were collected for this study. The differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer were screened out by using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Database. Then, the related gene expression in PDAC and its relation with patients’survival were analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. QPCR and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the mRNAand protein expressions of ECT2 in human PDAC samples. To explore the effect of ECT2 on the biological behaviors of pancreatic cancer cells, si-RNA was used to silence the ECT2 gene in pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells, and CCK-8 proliferation assay and Flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis rate of PANC-1 cells after ECT2 silence. Finally, the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by WB. Results: The differentially expressed gene-ECT2, was screened out by analyzing the gene expression profiles of human pancreatic cancer in GEO database. TCGA database analysis showed that ECT2 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues (t=4.005, P<0.05) and significantly correlated with patients’survival (P< 0.01). Moreover, it is also verified that ECT2 was highly expressed in PDAC tissues at mRNA (1.01±0.06 vs 4.25±0.12; t=24.09， P<0.01) and protein level. After ECT2 silence in PANC-1 cells, the proliferation rate was decreased (P<0.01), while the Tamoxifeninduced apoptosis rate was increased (P<0.01), and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (BAX and Bcl-2) were also affected. Conclusion: ECT2 is highly expressed in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and is related with patients’survival. ECT2 promotes the proliferation and apoptosis resistance of pancreatic cancer cells, providing the basis for exploring ECT2 as a new target for the prognostic judgment and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To determine the positional relationship between impacted mandibular third molar(IMTM) and mandibular canal(MC) by CBCT. Methods: 664 IMTMs with root apexes contacted to MCs on panoramic radiograph were further examined by CBCT,the exact positional relationship between IMTMs and MCs was observed and analyzed by I-Dixel software. Results: The 664 cases were divided into lowly(6. 3％),intermediately(60. 7％) and highly(33. 0％) impacted groups by the depth of IMTMs in mandibulae showed on CBCT images. The distance(mm) from the root apexes of IMTMs to the intact superior wall of MCs(n = 329) in lowly, intermediately and highly impacted cases were 1. 39 ± 1. 38,1. 28 ± 1. 03 and 1. 79 ± 1. 54 respectively(P ＜ 0. 05). MCs on the buccal side,lingual side,under the IMTMs and between the root apexes were found in 49. 8％,12. 0％,36. 6％ and 1. 5％ of the cases; the MC wall deffect was found in 65. 8％,27. 5％ and 95. 0％ of the cases with the MCs under,on buccal and lingual side of the IMTMs, respectively(P ＜ 0. 001). Conclusion: CBCT examination is necessary for the determination of the positional relationship between MC canal and IMTM with the root apex cotacted or overlapped to MC.
