Objective To explore the value of ECG-less technology and deep learning image reconstruction(DLIR)algorithm for coronary CT angiography(CCTA).Methods Seventy-one patients with suspected coronary artery disease(CAD)were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into group A(n=35,underwent CCTA using ECG-less technology)and B(n=36,underwent CCTA using physical electrocardiographic gating).CCTA images of group A were reconstructed using filtered back projection(FBP),adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction V(ASiR-V)(50%blending)and high-strength DLIR(DLIR-H),respectively,while those of group B were reconstructed using conventional ASiR-V(50%blending).The radiatio n doses and examination durations of CCTA were compared between groups.Then subjective and objective evaluation of imaging quality were compared between groups and within group A among 3 reconstruction algorithms.Results No significant difference of radiation dose of CCTA was found between groups(P>0.05).The examination duration in group A was reduced by approximately 29.37%compared to group B(P<0.05).No significant difference of subjective image quality scores nor objective evaluation of ASiR-V reconstructed CCTA was detected between groups(all P>0.05).In group A,compared to FBP algorithm,subjective image quality scores of DLIR-H and ASiR-V upgraded,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)increased and standard deviation(SD)values decreased(all P<0.05),but no significant difference of CT values was found(all P>0.05).Conclusion ECG-less technology could significantly shorten CCTA examination duration,while DLIR could reduce image noise and improve image quality of CCTA.

OBJECTIVE:To improve community pharmaceutical care so as to promote the rational drug use of community resi-dent and improve the quality of life. METHODS:By analyzing the situation of community pharmaceutical care,the pharmaceutical care of community pharmacists was improved by changing pharmaceutical care mode,actively developing the propaganda of ratio-nal drug use,strengthening retraining of clinical pharmacists. RESULTS:With the help of Hongkou district quality control group, many hospitals of the district signed thepharmaceutical linkage assistance agreement. Through the efforts of Hongkou district quality control group and many hospitals,community pharmaceutical care was improved and the propaganda of rational drug use has achieved certain results. CONCLUSIONS:Through exploration and practice,the pharmaceutical care levels of community phar-macists have been improved and the rational drug use of community residents has been promoted.
