Objective This study aims to evaluate the left ventricular myocardial function in HCM patients with or without subendocardial LGE by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) layer-specific strain technology and to explore the factors for predicting subendocardial LGE in HCM patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients with HCM who underwent CMR imaging at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2017 to September 2020, with 49 healthy controls matched for age and gender. The HCM patients were divided into a group without subendocardial LGE (G1 group, n = 40) and a group with subendocardial LGE (G2 group, n = 21) . CMR-based feature tracking was used to obtain global longitudinal strain (GLS) and endocardial longitudinal strain ( endoLS) of the left ventricular myocardium. Differences in cardiac structure, function, and strain parameters among the three groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for subendocardial LGE in HCM patients, and the predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve. Results GLS and endoLS were significantly lower in G2 than those in G1 and control group ( GLS： -10.57%±2.56% ( G2) Vs. - 12.53%±2.49% (G1) Vs. -17.35%±1.77% (controls), endoLS：-10.35%±2.47% (G2) Vs. -13.60%±2.52% (G1) Vs. - 18.58%±1.86% ( controls), all P < 0.001) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that endoLS was an independent risk factor for subendocardial LGE in HCM patients (OR = 1.696, P = 0.001) . The area under the curve (AUC) for predicting subendocardial LGE was 0.852, the cutoff value was -11.87%, the sensitivity was 81.0% and the specificity was 85.0%. Conclusion CMR-layered strain index endoLS can identify early dysfunction of the endocardium in HCM patients, and may be an ideal predictor for the occurrence of endocardial LGE in HCM patients.

[Purpose/Significance] When emergencies occur, the information environment becomes complex, usersf emotions are strongly affected, and the social mentality fluctuates. This situation also poses new requirements for the management of network public opinion. It is urgent to actively and correctly manage the current social mentality. The research on the current social mentality mainly focuses on the macro level, while the micro-user emotion and the macro-network social mentality need to be further explored. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the fine-grained influencing factors of the network social mentality in public emergencies, so as to promote the effective response to public emergencies in China and manage social mentality. [Method/Process] The meta-synthesis method is used to formulate a reasonable retrieval strategy. Based on the mainstream databases at home and abroad, the literature is screened by topic, and the quality of related topic literature is evaluated to obtain effective literature and use it as the original data. Through the form of three-level coding, the included literature was interpreted, translated and aggregated to test the reliability and validity of the research results and confirm the validity of the results. This paper summarizes the key variables and implicit relations of the existing research results, and constructs a comprehensive and micro-theoretical framework of the influencing factors of network social mentality in public emergencies. The relationship between the dimensions and the main categories in the model was analyzed. [Results/Conclusions] The study finally obtained 90 initial concepts, 31 categories and 13 main categories, which were summarized into a model of influencing factors composed of four dimensions: user, event, government and social environment. As the main body and direct cause of the change of network social mentality, users and events are the core objects of network social mentality management. As the external environment for the change of network social mentality, society and government play an important role in the management and standardization of network social mentality. The theoretical model framework can provide some guidance and reference for promoting public emergency response and social mentality management. It is also of great significance for the study of network social mentality and user emotion. There are still some shortcomings in the article. The research object of this paper has not yet been more official and unified. The definition is a self-summary based on literature reading. In addition, due to the specificity of the research object, there maybe a problem of incomplete literature search. In the future researc扎 the management model will be further explored in combination with the development of practice, and the model framework will be revised and expanded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To study the incidence of acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and to investigate the risk factors for ALL/ARDS occurrence and its impact on patient prognosis. Methods The clinical data of 167 consecutive patients with SAH admitted to the First Hospital of Soochow University from Jan 2018 to Dec 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors that influence the occurrence of ALI/ARDS and contribute to the poor prognosis of patients. Results Of the 167 patients, 45 developed ALL/ARDS and 49 had a poor prognosis. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, elderly patients, lower glasgow coma scale (GCS), higher Hunt-Hess grade, higher simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) II, gastric aspiration, hypoxemia, and tachypnea were associated with an increased incidence of ALL/ARDS. Meanwhile high Fisher's classification, low GCS score, higher Hunt-Hess grade, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ALI/ARDS were risk factors for poor prognosis. Conclusions Development of ALL/ARDS is a common complication in patients with SAH and is independently associated with poor neurological prognosis. Elderly patients, lower GCS, higher Hunt-Hess grade, higher SAPS II score, aspiration, hypoxemia, and tachypnea were risk factors for ALI/ARDS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new soil remediation material with humic acid (RC-H!\/WV) loaded with wood vinegar modified biochar was prepared, and the effects of its composition, dosage and aging time on the remediation of naphtha lene were studied. The results showed that the curing rate of naphthalene in wood vinegar modified biochar powder loaded with humic acid reached 68.6:3 %, which was 18.92% higher than that in biochar powder loaded with humic acid. The optimal application amount of l kg contaminated soil was 25 g. The curing rate was in di rect proportion to the aging time, and the longer the naphthalene was in contact with the soil, the lower the ef ficiency of its migration in the soil. Through analysis of FT-IR, UV, XI'S, GC-MS and so on, it was found that wood vinegar solution could promote the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bond between repair materials and naphthalene, and enhance the curing ability of repair materials.

The particle size distribution，volume fraction and coal type of coal were selected as the influencing factors of pulping conditions. Under the condition of adding sel--made poly carboxylic acid dispersant，Huolinhe coal in Inner Mongolia? Shenhua coal and Binchang coal in Shaanxi province were made into coal-water slurries. The rheology of slurries was characterized by a coal-water slurry viscometer. The particle size distribution and volume fraction of the three coals were studied by laser particle size distribution analyzer. The influence of particle size distribution and volume fraction on the rheological property of coal water slurry is discussed. It was found that the median diameter (D50) of coal samples with different volume percentages determines the volume fraction of coal samples and thus it affects the rheology of coal slurry. The results show that the ratio of multiple peaks to double peaks for three types of coal can reduce the viscosity of CWS，increase the slurry concentration by 2 percent， and improve the slurry stability. Furthermore ? the average apparent viscosity of coal slurry can be reduced by increasing the volume fraction of coal slurry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most recommendation systems based on the network structure suffer from lack of diversity, so that the paper proposed a recommendation system of big data based on multi-weight projection of bipartite network. Firstly, it abstracted the basic information of datasets, and applied items-users lists as an input to Levenshtein distance algorithm to compute similarity of each property. Then, it computed the number of common neighbors of the nodes in the bipartite network, the degree of common neighbors of the nodes in the bipartite network and degree of each node in bipartite network, and also computed the triple weights of each side of the bipartite network. Lastly, it adopted the enhanced bipartite projection technique to abstract the potential links of the bipartite network to realize the link prediction based on similarity. It realized the experiments based on both of big dataset and small dataset. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms different kinds of recommendation systems in terms of accuracy and coverage of recommendation, at the same time, it outperforms the other recommendation system based on network structure.

As compared with sea/ocean shipping, small ships are deployed in river shipping, and ship capacities are limited. This paper investigates a capacitated hub port location problem in river shipping, and a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is proposed. Different from the transportation discount used in the conventional hub location problems, this paper adopts the flow-based nonlinear cost functions to describe scale economies, leading to a concave optimization problem. In order to simplify our problem, we utilize a piecewise linear function to linearize the objective function. Based on the linearized problem and capacity constraints, a heuristic algorithm with an accelerating technique is proposed to solve our problem. Finally, a case study of the Yangtze River is presented to account for the effectiveness of our model and algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
