RAMAS-Net: a module-optimized convolutional network model for aortic valve stenosis recognition in echocardiography by Yejia Gan, Wanzhong Huang, Yan Deng, Xiaoying Xie, Yuanyuan Gu, Yaozhuang Zhou, Qian Zhang, Maosheng Zhang, Yangchun Liu

“…IntroductionAortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease that obstructs normal blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta due to pathological changes in the valve, leading to impaired cardiac function. Echocardiography is a key diagnostic tool for AS; however, its accuracy is influenced by inter-observer variability, operator experience, and image quality, which can result in misdiagnosis. …”

Effects of shading on photosynthetic characteristics and shade-tolerance evaluation of three Ranunculaceae plants by HAN Ruiting, ZHAO Dandan, WANG Weiyi, ZHANG Gexiang*

“…The light saturation point(LSP), light compensation point(LCP)and dark respiration rate(Rd)of the three plants decreased gradually.(3)The original fluorescence(Fo)decreased first and then increased, while the maximum fluorescence(Fm), variable fluorescence(Fv), maximum photochemical efficiency of PS Ⅱ(Fv/Fm)and potential activity of PS Ⅱ(Fv/Fo)values increased first and then decreased; the quantum ratio of heat dissipation(φDo)and the energy dissipated per unit reaction center(DIo/RC)decreased first and then increased, while electron transport quantum yield(φEo), light energy absorbed per unit reaction center(ABS/RC), light energy captured per unit reaction center(TRo/RC), energy used to transfer electrons per unit reaction center(ETo/RC), photosynthetic performance index(PIabs)and comprehensive performance index(PItotal)increased first and then decreased.(4)Comprehensive analysis on 20 single indicators by using analysis methods such as principal component analysis and membership function method showed that the shade-tolerance of the three plants ranked as Thalictrum fortunei > Delphinium anthriscifolium var. savatieri > R. japonicus. …”

Reconfiguration of dynamic brain networks in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Linking neurovascular coupling and cardiac dysfunction by Xiulin Liang, Qinghua Zhang, Chuanlong Zhang, Jingjing Liu, Pengcheng Sang, Qing Mao, Lei Wang

“…Results: (1) Static network topology properties exhibited significantly decreased local network efficiency among patients with HFpEF. The connectivity strength and information processing efficiency were diminished in the left parahippocampal gyrus, left cingulate gyrus, and right insular gyrus brain regions, and improved in the left thalamus, right fusiform gyrus, and right precuneus regions. (2) Dynamic network topology properties of patients with HFpEF showed decreased variability in critical nodes and brain subregions (e.g., the superior frontal gyrus, left amygdala, and left fusiform gyrus) and compensatory increases in the variability of specific regions (e.g., right insular gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, and right temporal gyrus). (3) In HFpEF, the static and dynamic functional brain network topology properties of the fusiform gyrus, cingulate gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, precuneus, parahippocampal gyrus, insular gyrus, and amygdala regions were significantly correlated with cardiac structural and functional indices, such as LVDd, LVMI, and E/e′ ratio. …”

Research on the Combined Load-Bearing Mechanism of Deeply Buried Pressure Pipelines Under High Internal Water Pressure by LIU Yijie, ZHANG Xuhui, HUANG Bensheng, YANG Fengjie, YUAN Mingdao, XU Yunqian

“…To enhance the surrounding rock’s contribution, reinforcement measures such as grouting may be necessary.ConclusionsAiming at the calculation problem of load transfer and distribution in deep-buried pressure pipelines under high internal water pressure conditions, a power series solution method based on complex variable functions was proposed. By solving the potential functions for the steel liner and surrounding rock as well as the contact stress between the bearing bodies, the stress, deformation at any position of the bearing structure and surrounding rock sharing rate can be accurately determined. …”
