Surgical treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis by A. Yu. Korolkov, A. A. Smirnov, D. N. Popov, M. M. Saadylaeva, T. O. Nikitina, S. F. Bagnenko

“…The single-step approach authentically helps to decrease the duration of hospital stay and reduce treatment costs. The two-step approach is shown for patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis, but endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with lithoextraction should be supplemented by common bile duct and pancreatic duct stenting, in order to reduce the number of complications associated with delayed cholecystectomy.…”

Realization Method of Digital Filter in Pathological Assistant Diagnosis System by WANG Zi-xuan, XIE Yi-ning, HE Yong-jun

“…The pathology-assisted diagnosis system adopts the method of placing a filter on the slice to filter the light source and obtain the monochromatic parallel light, which is used to calculate the optical density parameter of the image to reflect the content of a certain substance in the slice.But the use of filter not only reduces the color contrast of the image, which interferes with the doctor’s follow-up diagnosis and increases the possibility of misdiagnosis, but also increases expenditure costs.In order to solve this problem, the CGAN model is trained to realize the conversion from unfiltered image to a filtered image, which is used to replace the hardware filter, and the trained model is called a digital filter.In order to improve the performance of the digital filter, a full-scale jump connection is added to the generator to improve the quality of the generated image, and the integral optical density constraint is added to the loss function to facilitate accurate measurement of the integrated optical density of the nucleus in the generated image.Experiments show that the digital filter can achieve the filtering effect of a hardware filter, and the generated image is close to the real filtered image in terms of visual effects.In the task of calculating the integral optical density of the cell nucleus, the generated image deviates 5.3% from the real filtered image with a mean value of 119, the performance is improved by 10.9%, 3.2%, and 6.1% compared with CycleGAN, pix2pix, and pix2pixHD methods.…”
