无装饰特征探析

"无装饰"风格源自20世纪60年代的建筑行业的功能主义设计思潮。然而,现代的"无装饰"的风格并不是排斥或摈弃装饰,而是将装饰之"道"融入装饰之"器"。本文探讨无装饰自身的特征,使装饰的外延扩展。

边缘环境下的视频行为识别

边缘智能是一种新兴的智能计算模式,其将人工智能技术和边缘嵌入式设备结合,被广泛应用于物联网系统。智能摄像机是典型的边缘设备之一,它能提供低延迟的视频处理能力,适用于智能家居、智能交通、智能监控等领域。然而,由于摄像机的计算资源有限,传统的行为识别模型难以在本地完成计算任务。为解决这一问题,文中提出了一种基于边缘计算的架构,利用深度学习目标检测算法YOLO v3对视频行为进行识别。在该架构中,智能移动终端负责数据采集和压缩,边缘服务器承担大部分目标检测任务,而检测困难的目标和模型训练则由云服务器负责。为更好地适应边缘设备,本文采用轻量化的神经网络MobileNet替换YOLO v3模型的特征提取模块。经过测试,该架构能有效提取和识别视频中的静态和动态行为,为实现边缘计算环境下低成本、大规模的行为识别提供了有益的参考。

The dental status of asthmatic British school children

Pancreatic cancer is a dismal disease. The 5-year overall survival ranges from 1% to 5%. Surgery is the only curative treatment available for this cancer, but it is indicated only in selected patients with a less than 4 cm tumor. In these patients, survival rate is about 30%. We have considered several aspects: the very difficult early diagnosis, the correct diagnostic flow chart, actual surgical procedures and new trends in biologic and genetic research. It is likely that better results can be achieved by defining an "early pancreatic cancer" and establishing how to detect it. This could be the wrigth one way is to significantly improve the survival of these patients.     

Biological, psychological and environmental predictors of the alcoholism risk: a longitudinal study

Interference reflection microscopy (IRM) was used to evaluate the status of cell matrix adhesions in the MCF-7 human mammary carcinoma cell line. Focal contacts were concentrated at the periphery of individual cells or small cell clusters. Close contact was detected as a band at cell peripheries and as localized patches throughout the ventral face of cells. The MCF-7 cells also exhibited a distinctive reflection pattern of an intensity midway between that of either focal or close contact. This novel reflection pattern was located primarily at the periphery of cells and often obscured visualization of focal contacts in live cells. A similar distinctive pattern was absent from the normal tissue-derived MCF-10A mammary epithelial cell line. Immunofluorescence staining using an antiserum that cross-reacts with both alpha(v)beta3 and alpha(v)beta5 integrins revealed a distribution of the vitronectin receptor similar to that of the novel adhesion pattern as well as to that of focal contacts. In addition, IRM demonstrated the presence of "tracks" associated with cells, which were also stained with the vitronectin receptor antiserum. The tracks are apparently residual material left behind as a result of cell migration. When MCF-7 cells were cultured in the absence of estradiol, the tracks were greatly diminished when visualized with either IRM or staining for the vitronectin receptor. In contrast, the addition of 17-beta-estradiol to the medium resulted in an increased presence of the tracks as well as the development of extensive close contacts throughout the ventral surface of cells and cell clusters. Cells treated with the estrogen antagonist ICI 182,720 in the presence of estradiol had few associated tracks, indicating that the process leading to the formation of these structures is dependent on an estrogen receptor-activated pathway. However, the antagonist did not prevent the estradiol-induced formation of extensive close contacts. The extensive close contact as well as the increase in trailing material suggests that estradiol may promote breast tumor cell motility. However, this migratory activity may be mediated by both estrogen receptor-dependent and -independent pathways.     

St. Francis Hospice: Medicare and health care reform

The St. Francis Hospice Program is symbolic of more than 100 years of Franciscan dedication to the people of Hawaii. Since Mother Marianne's arrival in November of 1883, the Sisters of the Third Franciscan Order Syracuse, New York have responded to the calling; "the charity of Christ impels us." It is through this calling that care and comfort for the terminally ill is a part of the mission of St. Francis Healthcare System. The magnificent spirit through which Hospice services have been made possible, is a reflection of God's great generosity to us throughout the years.     

Video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis. Validation of a new minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion technique in the rabbit and nonhuman primate (rhesus) models

STUDY DESIGN: Cadaveric anatomic and in vivo survival animal studies were performed to develop a new arthrodesis technique for the lumbar spine. OBJECTIVES: To examine the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a minimally invasive lumbar intertransverse process arthrodesis technique using an osteoinductive growth factor (rhBMP-2) delivered in a collagen sponge carrier. The technique was first developed using a rabbit model and modified for the nonhuman primate (rhesus monkey), a larger animal with the most similar bone biology to humans. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The morbidity of conventional posterolateral lumbar intertransverse process arthrodesis includes graft donor site morbidity; paraspinal muscle devascularization, denervation, and scarring and nonunion in up to 36% of patients. Minimally invasive anterior lumbar interbody arthrodesis techniques have been developed, but these often require a metal implant and carry risks to major vessels and development of retrograde ejaculation. A minimally invasive technique for posterolateral intertransverse process arthrodesis has not been described previously. METHODS: In Part 1, we examined seven New Zealand white rabbits and five rhesus monkeys at necropsy and during nonsurvival surgeries to determine the best access routes and to develop special instruments for video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis. In Part 2, 38 New Zealand white rabbits underwent L4-L5 intertransverse process arthrodesis: the "OPEN" group (n = 16) underwent a standard open muscle-splitting approach using rhBMP-2 (bone morphogenetic protein) and collagen as a bone graft substitute; the "video-assisted control" group (n = 6) underwent video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis with the collagen implant only (no growth factor); and the "video-assisted-BMP" group (n = 16) underwent video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis with rhBMP-2 and collagen as the graft material. In Part 3, rhesus monkeys (n = 4) underwent video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis using rhBMP-2 and collagen after laminectomy of L4-L5. RESULTS: In Part 1, we identified expedient, minimally invasive routes to the intertransverse process interval appropriate for each species: an intermuscular approach for the rabbit and a lateral, extramuscular approach for the rhesus monkey. In Part 2, all rabbits in the OPEN and video-assisted-BMP groups achieved solid intertransverse process lumbar fusions when assessed at 10 weeks. There were no neurologic impairments nor any difference between the two groups in the frequency of postoperative infection or other complications. None of the animals in the video-assisted control group showed evidence of fusion. In Part 3, exposure, decortication and grafting with rh-BMP-2 and collagen was accomplished successfully in all four monkeys through the video-assisted minimally invasive approach without complications. CONCLUSION: Video-assisted lateral intertransverse process arthrodesis is a feasible, effective, and safe method of lumbar spinal fusion in the rabbit and rhesus monkey. Use of this arthrodesis procedure will minimize the morbidity of paraspinal muscle denervation and devascularization seen with open intertransverse process fusion techniques, and the use of an osteoinductive growth factor will eliminate the problem of graft donor site morbidity and possibly increase the chances for successful fusion.
