Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of 5.0 T ultra-high filed MRI system in assessing intracranial arteries segments and vessel branchers.Methods:This study was a prospective study. Totally 40 consecutive healthy volunteers were recruited from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from September 1, 2021 to November 30, and all participants who underwent either 3.0 T or 5.0 T time-of-flight MR angiography (TOF-MRA) in random order were divided into 3.0 T MR group and 5.0 T MR group with 20 volunteers for each group. Image quality was assessed by Likert 5 scoring systems and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR),and score in visualization of intracranial arteries [middle cerebral artery (MCA) and its segments, anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and its segments, posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and its segments, lenticulostriate arteries (LA) and pontine artery (PA)] were assessed from 0 to 3 (≥2: good depiction of vessel segment). Quantitative indicators were compared between 2 groups using independent t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:Among the 40 subjects, there were 29 males and 11 females, aged 20-69 (50±12) years. SNR and CNR were both significantly higher in 5.0 T MR group than those in 3.0 T MR group (SNR: 187±9 vs 91±4, t=31.59, P<0.001; CNR: 156±7 vs 70±4, t=31.45, P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in subjective scores of image quality between the 5.0 T MR and 3.0 T MR groups [5.0 (4.0, 5.0), 5.0 (5.0, 5.0) points, respectively, Z=-1.23, P=0.218]. In the evaluation of cerebral arteries, the visualizations of the proximal and middle segments of MCA, ACA and PCA was better than those in the 3.0 T MR group, and there was no significant difference in the scores ( P>0.05), while the visualizations of proximal arteries in the 5.0 T MR group were significantly better than those in the 3.0 T MR group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, small vessel branches such as LA and PA in 5.0 T MR group were visualized better than those in 3.0 T MR group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:TOF-MRA by ultra-high filed 5.0-T provides an optimal choice in visualization of distal large arteries and small vessel branches, which could be useful for the diagnosis on cerebral vascular disease.

The monitoring of pregnant women is very important. It plays an important role in reducing fetal mortality, ensuring the safety of perinatal mother and fetus, preventing premature delivery and pregnancy accidents. At present, regular examination is the mainstream method for pregnant women's monitoring, but the means of examination out of hospital is scarce, and the equipment of hospital monitoring is expensive and the operation is complex. Using intelligent information technology (such as machine learning algorithm) can analyze the physiological signals of pregnant women, so as to realize the early detection and accident warning for mother and fetus, and achieve the purpose of high-quality monitoring out of hospital. However, at present, there are not enough public research reports related to the intelligent processing methods of out-of-hospital monitoring for pregnant women, so this paper takes the out-of-hospital monitoring for pregnant women as the research background, summarizes the public research reports of intelligent processing methods, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the existing research methods, points out the possible problems, and expounds the future development trend, which could provide reference for future related researches.

Methods for achieving diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on speech data mining have been proven effective in recent years. However, due to factors such as the degree of disease of the data collection subjects and the collection equipment and environment, there are different categories of sample aliasing in the sample space of the acquired data set. Samples in the aliased area are difficult to be identified effectively, which seriously affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. In order to solve this problem, a partition bagging ensemble learning is proposed in this article, which measures the aliasing degree of the sample by designing the the ratio of sample centroid distance metrics and divides the training set into multiple subsets. And then the method of transfer training of misclassified samples is used to adjust the results of subset partitioning. Finally, the optimized weights of each sub-classifier are used to integrate the test results. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed method is significantly improved on two public datasets and the increasement of mean accuracy is up to 25.44%. This method not only effectively improves the classification accuracy of PD speech dataset, but also increases the sample utilization rate, providing a new idea for the diagnosis of PD.

BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma has been used in the treatment of wounds in orthopedics, burn and plastic surgery, and has achieved good results. But its therapeutic effect in diabetic foot ulcers is still controversial. OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma in diabetic foot ulcer. METHODS: PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched for a randomized controlled trial of platelet-rich plasma for treating diabetic foot ulcers published before September 2018. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software after two investigators independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Sixteen randomized controlled trials were included, including 925 patients. The trial group was treated with platelet-rich plasma alone or platelet-rich plasma combined with conventional therapy (debridement, vacuum sealing drainage, or dressing coverage) . The control group received routine treatment, blank control or placebo treatment. (2) Meta-analysis showed that the healing rate in the trial group was higher than that in the control group [OR=3.05, 95%CI (2.25, 4.13) , P < 0.000 01]; effective rate was higher than that in the control group [OR=3.84, 95%CI (2.44, 6.06) , P < 0.000 01]; the ulcer healing time was shorter than that in the control group [MD=-11.39, 95%CI (-13.45, -9.34) , P < 0.000 01]; the cost of treatment was lower than that in the control group [MD=-5 927.76, 95%CI (-10 413.04, -1 442.49) , P=0.010]; and the hospitalization time was less than that in the control group [MD=-14.77, 95%CI (-18.82, -10.73) , P < 0.000 01]. (3) Four studies reported adverse reactions, but adverse reactions were not associated with platelet-rich plasma. (4) These results suggest that platelet-rich plasma has a good clinical effect in promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, and no adverse reactions occur. Due to limitations in the quantity and quality of the studies, the above conclusions are yet to be verified by more high-quality studies.
