Preliminary study of renal cortex palpate organization quantitative SWV reference value in early chronic kidney disease(CKD) by LI Shen-fu, HU Hua, WEI Jin-yu, MA Li, LIU Guang-de

“…Objective To investigate the relationship between the shear wave velocity(SWV)measured by virtual touch tissue quantification(VTQ) and the stage of early chronic kidney disease(CKD),and to provide SWV reference range of early CKD.Methods One hundred and eighty CKD patients and 100 control subjects without CKD were enrolled in this prospective study from March2015 to August 2016.SWV was measured by using VTQ inspection of color Doppler ultrasound.CKD patients were divided into 5 groups based on creatinine clearance calculated with MDRD formula.There are 61,53,56,6 and 4 cases in CKD stage 1 to 5,respectively.Results The average SWV value of the study group and control gro.up were(2.20 ± 0.68) m/s and(2.38 ± 0.84) m/s,respectively.There were no significant difference between these two groups(P>0.05).The stage of CKD is negatively related to the SWV vale in trends,but has no significant difference(P>0.05),and each group respectively when compared with the control group had no statistical significance(P>0.05).The combined CKD 1-2 stage and CKD 4-5 stage respectively compared with the control group had no statistical difference(P>0.05).But the combined CKD 3-5 stage respectively compared with the control group.CKDl stage and CKD 1-2 stage there were significant difference(P<0.05).GFR value comparison between different CKD stage groups have obvious difference(P<0.05).Conclusions The SWV can be detected with VTQ and can be used to evaluate the degree of injury in mid-late stage CKD.The SWV value correlates with the degree of injury in CKD patients negatively(r=-0.422,P=0.032).…”

Efficient algorithm for calculating short cycles in Tanner graph based on matrix computation by Qing ZHU, Le-nan WU, Yong-biao YANG, Jie LI, Shi-ming XU

“…Loop distribution of Tanner graph affects the BER performance of low-density parity-check codes(LDPC) decoding.To count short cycles in the Tanner graph efficiently,a side by side recursion algorithm based on matrix computation was proposed.Firstly,5 basic graph structures were defined to realize recursive calculate in the implementation process.Compared with previous works,the algorithm provided many methods for counting the same length of cycles.The same result confirmed the correctness of the algorithm.The new algorithm could not only calculate the total number of cycles,but also gave the number each edge participating in fixed-length cycles.Its complexity was proportional to the product of D and square of N,where D was the average degree of variable nodes,and N denoted the code length.For LDPC codes,D was far less than N.For most of the LDPC codes,the calculation for numbers of cycle-length g、g+2、g+4 was only several seconds.…”
