摘要:This paper aims to meet the requirements of reducing the scanning time of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), accelerating MRI and reconstructing a high quality image from less acquisition data as much as possible. MRI method based on compressed sensing (CS) with multiple regularizations (two regularizations including total variation (TV) norm and L1 norm or three regularizations consisting of total variation, L1 norm and wavelet tree structure) is proposed in this paper, which is implemented by applying split augmented lagrangian shrinkage algorithm (SALSA). To solve magnetic resonance image reconstruction problems with linear combinations of total variation and L1 norm, we utilized composite split denoising (CSD) to split the original complex problem into TV norm and L1 norm regularization subproblems which were simple and easy to be solved respectively in this paper. The reconstructed image was obtained from the weighted average of solutions from two subproblems in an iterative framework. Because each of the splitted subproblems can be regarded as MRI model based on CS with single regularization, and for solving the kind of model, split augmented lagrange algorithm has advantage over existing fast algorithm such as fast iterative shrinkage thresholding(FIST) and two step iterative shrinkage thresholding (TwIST) in convergence speed. Therefore, we proposed to adopt SALSA to solve the subproblems. Moreover, in order to solve magnetic resonance image reconstruction problems with linear combinations of total variation, L1 norm and wavelet tree structure, we can split the original problem into three subproblems in the same manner, which can be processed by existing iteration scheme. A great deal of experimental results show that the proposed methods can effectively reconstruct the original image. Compared with existing algorithms such as TVCMRI, RecPF, CSA, FCSA and WaTMRI, the proposed methods have greatly improved the quality of the reconstructed images and have better visual effect.
摘要:To investigate the influence of the furnace structure and inlet gas velocity on gas-solid two-phase flow states in the deposition furnace,FLUENT software was used to simulate dense gas-solid two-phase flow in a fluidized bed.The results show that the dispersed fluidized bed formed in the deposition furnace with a cone angle of 60° has the structure of"ring-nucleus"and longer gas retention time compared with the flat-bottom structure deposition furnace,which is beneficial to the preparation of the pyrolytic carbon coating materials with a uniform structure and excellent quality.Inlet gas velocity should be moderate,the slow inlet gas velocity leads to the chaos of the particle velocity distribution,which cannot form the ring-core flow structure.High inlet gas velocity leads to the back mixing of particles in the deposition furnace.In addition,as the inlet gas velocity increases,both the gas phase and the average particle velocity in the central area of the deposition furnace gradually increase,and the effect of the gas phase velocity is more obvious.
摘要:Hyaluronan (HA), the consistent glycosaminoglycans in extracellular matrix, is a kind of biomaterials with wonderful biocompatibility. To develop drug release system (DDS) with HA as drug carrier is a new hotspot in the field of pharmaceutics. In this paper, we applied technique of ultrosound and reversed phase (Water/Oil) emulsification to develop dexamethasone (DEX)-HA-STMP cross-linking microspheres (DEX-HA MS) with STMP as cross-linker. DEX-HA MS has a wonderful shape and property of dispersion. There is a negative correlation between diameter of DEX-HA MS and the content of cross-linker, or the content of emulsifier, and a positive correlation between the diameter and CHA. When CHA≤1% ,DEX/HA≤1/10(g/g),there is a positive correlation between the factors mentioned below and drug loading (DL%)/loading efficiency (LE%) ,the content of STMP, the content of emulsifier, CHA and the content of DEX. DEX-HA-MS can realize function of slow release. In vitro drug release experiment shows that cumulative release (CR%) of DEX-HA MS fits in with pervasion-corrosion equation, and there is a negative correlation between the content of STMP, CHA and CR% , a positive correlation between emulsifier and CR%. When DEX/HA ≤1/5 (g/g) there is a negative correlation between the content of DEX and CR%.
摘要:Interface debonding between prostheses and abutments was the most frequent failure mode of resin-bonded fixed partials dentures (RBFPDs) in clinic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of accessory retention forms on the bond strength of RBFPDs. Three types of 3D finite element models were constructed. The model of posterior metal plate RBFPD with spoon-shaped occlusal rest seats served as the control. The remaining two types of models based on the control added the retention form design of the pin hole and axial groove respectively. The axial or buccolingual load of 150 N was applied on the prosthesis, first premolar and first molar respectively. The maximum principal stresses of the adhesive layer in different models were calculated. Under the load of the same magnitude, the stress due to the buccolingual load was significantly higher than that due to the axial load in the adhesive layer. The proximal shoulder, occlusal rest seats wall and the proximal margin adjacent to the shoulder were the high risk region where the adhesive layer damaged easily. Compared with the control model, the pin and groove models could slightly decrease the stress in the adhesive layer after the axial loading, while the stress in the adhesive layer drastically decreased after horizontal loading and reduced by 22% and 31%respectively. These results indicate that the horizontal occlusal force has a more serious harm to the debonding of RBFPDs. In addition, the accessory retention forms (e.g. pin and axial groove retention forms) can decrease the stress level in the adhesive layer, which are conducive to increase the load-bearing capacity of RBFPDs.

In the study group, E3 allele was the most common 383 (47.88%),E4 allele 121 (15.12%);in the control group, E2 allele was the most common 391 (48.88%), and E3 allele 142 (17.75%). Conclusion: According to the statistics of ApoE gene polymorphism distribution in the Longyan area and the analysis of the correlation of other cerebrovascular diseases,it is found that E2/E3 genotype may be related to cerebrovascular diseases, and E3 allele may be a susceptibility factor. Through the above analysis, the occurrence of diseases can be predicted and prevented.
摘要:A frequency following response (FFR) of speech auditory brainstem response (speech-ABR) elicited by the speech syllable/da/contains three distinct waves named as D, E and F, corresponding to the structure of the stimulus sound. The detection and characterization of FFRs are critical in the study and application of speech-ABRs. Conventional methods detect the latencies of the waves in time domain by measuring the maximal amplitudes of the waveform in the preset windows, which suffers the problem of low quality of FFR waves. In this paper, we defined an instantaneous energy (IE) spectrum based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method (EMD-IE method) to detect FFR and measured the latencies of the waves. The results reveal that the FFRs are mostly evident on the second layer of the IE spectra, which would benefit the detection and measurement of the FFRs in clinic.

摘要:Developing a shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid to substitute blood is desirable in studies of biomedicine engineering since blood is a shear thinning nonNewtonian fluid that exhibits both viscous and elastic properties, and generally not available in large volume. The rheological properties of aqueous Xanthan gum with different concentrations and temperatures were studied in present paper. The results show that aqueous Xanthan gum is a non-Newtonian fluid which displays remarkable shear thinning behaviour and is a suitable blood analog fluid. There is a power law distribution relationship between shear stress and shear rate, and the higher the solution concentration is, the more strongly it displays shear thinning behaviours. Viscosity values of aqueous Xanthan gum increase with the solution temperature decrease or with the solution concentration increase in linearity. Moreover at the temperature of 37℃, aqueous Xanthan gum with concentration of 0.4‰ and 0.6‰ matches human blood best in rheological properties. According to the resuits, the viscosity expression varied with temperature and concentrition is obtained, and the stability of Xanthan gum solution is discussed.
