Fast Frequency-Domain Compressed Sensing Analysis for High-Density Super-Resolution Imaging Using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit by Saiwen Zhang, Jingjing Wu, Danni Chen, Siwei Li, Bin Yu, Junle Qu

“…The simulation and experimental results prove that the FD-CS is 1000 times faster than CSSTORM with CVX and ten times faster than that with L1-Homotopy with almost the same localization accuracy and recall rate. This drastic reduction in computational time should allow the compressed sensing approach to be routinely applied to a super-resolution image analysis.…”

Renal protective role of active vitamin D3 supplement in oatients with type 2 diabetes:a meta-analysis by HE Lei, YI Xin, LIN Mei, ZHAO Tian-ya, LI Meng-si, GAO Ping

“…Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy,safety and the renoprotective effect of active vitamin D3 treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Literature searches were performed with PubMed,EMBase,Google scholar,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Date and CBM from inception to December 2014.Publications of the randomized controlled trials on the treatment of T2 DM with active vitamin D3 were included.The methodology quality of the included studies was assessed and the pooled analysis on therapeutic effect index was performed by two reviewers independently according to the criteria of the Cochrane handbook Results A total of 10 eligible RCT were included.The fixed-effect model was used to analyze urinary albumin creatinine ratio(UACR),and the pooled SMD was- 0.34(95%CI:- 0.55,- 0.12),P = 0.002,which indicated that active vitamin D3-treated group had a statistically significant reduction in UACR.The randomeffect model was used to analyze serum creatinine,and the pooled SMD was-1.27(95%CI:- 3.66,1.12),P = 0.30,which indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between experimental group and control group.In addition,active vitamin D3-treated group was more obvious than control group in terms of lowering insulin resistance,serum cholesterol,triglycerides,systolic pressure,and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) in patients with T2DM(P<0.05)[SMD or WMD(95%CI) was-2.69(-3.42,-1.97);-0.37(-0.63,-0.11),-0.30(- 0.56,- 0.05);- 5.94(- 9.08,- 2.80);0.33(0.03,0.63),respectively].However,there was no statistically significant difference in hemoglobin A1c(HbAlc) and diastolic pressure between experimental group and control group(P>0.05)[WMD(95%CI) was 0.06(-0.08,0.19);- 1.77(- 3.65,- 0.12),respectively].Conclusions Currently available evidence shows that active vitamin D3 is effective in improving glucose metabolism,and reducing blood lipids and blood pressure in T2 DM patients.It can also reduce proteinuria,and protect renal function to some extent…”
