ACO-NM hybrid optimization calculation method for transit time of oxygen activation logging in CO2 injection profile by WANG Zhengyan, CHEN Meng, YANG Guofeng, LIU Guoquan, PEI Yang, CHEN Qiang

“…However, activation spectrum peaks in CO2 injection often exhibit single-peak tailing and double-peak overlapping, influenced by statistical fluctuations in activated gamma-ray count rates, fluid properties, multi-layer string structure, and other factors. As a result, accurately determining the transit time of activation spectra and evaluating the amount of CO2 uptake in each small layer becomes challenging.To minimize errors in transit time calculation caused by overlapping peak separation and activation peak boundary selection, the morphological characteristics of activation peaks under varying influences were analyzed meticulously. …”

Feasibility of extracting specimens from the site of preventive ileostomy and its impact on stoma retraction of laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer by Bai Junge, Wang Zhexue, Yang Ming, Ma Xiaolong, Liu Zheng, Chen Haipeng

“…Compared with the non-ileostomy site extraction group, the interval time of the ileostomy site extraction group from surgery to ileostomy closure was shorter [217 (147.5，289.5) min vs. 256.5 (193.8，371.0) min, Z＝-3.595, P<0.001], the surgical time was shorter [（80.8±25.3）min vs. （95.7±30.4）min，t＝14.902，P<0.001], and the intraoperative blood loss was less [20(10，20) mL vs. 30(20，50) mL，Z＝-4.927，P<0.001]. Optimal scale regression analysis showed that the site of specimen collection (P＝0.014), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P＝0.037), adjuvant chemotherapy (P＝0.044), and postoperative complications (P＝0.018) were independent factors affecting the interval time of ileostomy closure. …”
