Whether recurrence occurs becomes an important reference for surgical planning and treatment methods for this disease. Current recurrence prediction models do not consider the potential pathological relationships between internal tissues of the entire ovary. They use convolutional neural networks to extract local region features for judgment, but the accuracy is low, and the cost is high. To address this issue, this paper proposes a new lightweight deep learning algorithm model for predicting recurrence of high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The model first uses ghost convolution (Ghost Conv) and coordinate attention (CA) to establish ghost counter residual (SCblock) modules to extract local feature information from images. Then, it captures global information and integrates multi-level information through proposed layered fusion Transformer (STblock) modules to enhance interaction between different layers. The Transformer module unfolds the feature map to compute corresponding region blocks, then folds it back to reduce computational cost. Finally, each STblock module fuses deep and shallow layer depth information and incorporates patient's clinical metadata for recurrence prediction. Experimental results show that compared to the mainstream lightweight mobile visual Transformer (MobileViT) network, the proposed slicer visual Transformer (SlicerViT) network improves accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1 score, with only 1/6 of the computational cost and half the parameter count. This research confirms that the proposed algorithm model is more accurate and efficient in predicting recurrence of high-grade serous ovarian cancer. In the future, it can serve as an auxiliary diagnostic technique to improve patient survival rates and facilitate the application of the model in embedded devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":39324,"journal":{"name":"生物医学工程学杂志","volume":"41 4","pages":"807-817"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11366459/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142113067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the biomechanical effects of filling block structures and materials on OWHTO remain unclear. OWHTO anatomical filling block model was designed and built. The finite element analysis method was adopted to study the influence of six filling block structure designs and four different materials on the stress of the fixed plate, tibia, screw, and filling block, and the micro-displacement at the wedge gap of the OWHTO fixation system. After the filling block was introduced in the OWHTO, the maximum von Mises stress of the fixation plate was reduced by more than 30%, the maximum von Mises stress of the tibia decreased by more than 15%, and the lateral hinge decreased by 81%. When the filling block was designed to be filled in the posterior position of the wedge gap, the maximum von Mises stress of the fixation system was 97.8 MPa, which was smaller than other filling methods. The minimum micro-displacement of osteotomy space was -2.9 μm, which was larger than that of other filling methods. Compared with titanium alloy and tantalum metal materials, porous hydroxyapatite material could obtain larger micro-displacement in the osteotomy cavity, which is conducive to stimulating bone healing. The results demonstrate that OWHTO with a filling block can better balance the stress distribution of the fixation system, and a better fixation effect can be obtained by using a filling block filled in the posterior position.

Traditional methods of detecting AF heavily rely on doctor's diagnosis based on electrocardiograms (ECGs), but prolonged analysis of ECG signals is very time-consuming. This paper designs an AF detection model based on the Inception module, constructing multi-branch detection channels to process raw ECG signals, gradient signals, and frequency signals during AF. The model efficiently extracted QRS complex and RR interval features using gradient signals, extracted P-wave and f-wave features using frequency signals, and used raw signals to supplement missing information. The multi-scale convolutional kernels in the Inception module provided various receptive fields and performed comprehensive analysis of the multi-branch results, enabling early AF detection. Compared to current machine learning algorithms that use only RR interval and heart rate variability features, the proposed algorithm additionally employed frequency features, making fuller use of the information within the signals. For deep learning methods using raw and frequency signals, this paper introduced an enhanced method for the QRS complex, allowing the network to extract features more effectively. By using a multi-branch input mode, the model comprehensively considered irregular RR intervals and P-wave and f-wave features in AF. Testing on the MIT-BIH AF database showed that the inter-patient detection accuracy was 96.89%, sensitivity was 97.72%, and specificity was 95.88%.

The study findings showed that the bending stiffness, stent ruggedness, area residual stenosis rate, contact area fraction and contact volume fraction increased with the fitting order's increase.
