遗传算法的DV-Hop算法改进

DV-Hop算法中,平均每跳距离是影响定位精度的因素之一。针对平均每跳距离带来的定位误差,对锚节点和未知节点的平均每跳距离进行了改进和优化。首先引入遗传算法计算锚节点的平均每跳距离;然后利用跳数小于等于3的锚节点的平均每跳距离加权处理未知节点的平均每跳距离,减少平均每跳距离带来的误差。仿真结果表明,在不增加硬件开销的基础上,改进算法能够有效提高算法的定位精度,并且具有较好的稳定性。     

TDZ和6-BA对大豆子叶节再生体系中丛生芽诱导的效应

以栽培大豆品种‘Jackson’为试材,用萌发5 d的子叶节作外植体,接种于不同激素配比的萌发培养基和诱导培养基中,分析和比较TDZ(噻二唑苯基脲)和6-BA(6-苄基腺嘌呤)单独和复配使用时对大豆子叶节再生体系中丛生芽的诱导效应,并对其优化组合进行了筛选。结果表明:在种子萌发培养基中,0.5 mg·L-16-BA或TDZ单独使用时,前者能使丛生芽诱导率达到75.56%,诱导效应好于后者,但每个子叶节出芽数低于后者。在诱导培养基中,0.5 mg·L-16-BA和1.0 mg·L-1TDZ复配使用时,丛生芽诱导率最高且每个子叶节出芽数最多,分别为84.75%和3.04。     

CT thoracic duct lymphography in cats by popliteal lymph node iohexol injection

Three different doses (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 ml) of iohexol (300 mgl/ml) were injected percutaneously into the popliteal lymph node of eight adult cats under ultrasound guidance. Serial transverse CT images of five regions of interest (L3, T13, T8, T4, and T1 level) were performed at 2-min intervals, and the attenuation in Hounsfield Units (HU) of the lymphatic vessels was measured for determination of the optimal dose of iohexol and CT scan parameters. The optimal dose was 1.5 ml and helical CT acquisition is recommended to be performed as soon as possible after iohexol injection. In helical scans, the thoracic duct was characterized by variable branch numbers that formed a single trunk and entered the venous system at variable levels. CT lymphography using this protocol was performed in a cat with chylothorax. The thoracic duct was tortuous and focally dilated, and leakage of contrast medium was observed. Percutaneous CT lymphography using ultrasound-guided administration of iohexol into the popliteal lymph node appears reliable for delineation of the thoracic duct in cats.     

Ultrasonographic assessment of abdominal lymph nodes in puppies

The jejunal and medial iliac lymph nodes of 53 clinically normal dogs between the age of 4 and 6 weeks were examined ultrasonographically. At least two jejunal and both left and right medial iliac lymph nodes were seen in all dogs. One hundred forty‐five jejunal, 53 right medial iliac and 53 left medial iliac lymph nodes in six litters of dogs, for a total of 251 lymph nodes, were measured for cross sectional maximum diameters. Mean jejunal lymph node length was 16.4 mm (range 6.4–34.9 mm) and mean width was 6.0 mm (range 2.3–15.7 mm). The mean medial iliac lymph node length was 13.6 mm (range 7.2–27.8 mm) and mean width was 4.4 mm (range 1.9–8.2 mm). Significant differences of lymph node size, noted between and within breeds, may not be of clinical significance. The mean size of the combined left and right medial iliac nodes was within previously published ranges for normal adult dogs. Lymph nodes were described in four litters of dogs (162 lymph nodes). Lymph nodes were either uniformly hypoechoic (108/163, 66%) or centrally hyperechoic with a hypoechoic rim (55/163, 34%). Although most (60%) lymph nodes were oval, a variety of shapes were seen, including vermiform and complex branching shapes. We concluded that in 4‐ to 6‐week‐old dogs, medial iliac lymph nodes are similar in size to adult dogs and jejunal lymph nodes are multiple, routinely seen, are larger than in adults and often have unconventional shapes.     

A malware analysis method based on symbolic execution tree

In the malware analysis, it is a common method to monitor malware dynamically in a virtual environment. However, with so many branches of executable pathes, path explosion problem will probably occur, leaving some executable pathes uncovered, and hence harming the comprehensiveness of analysis. To solve this problem, we propose a malware analysis method based on symbolic execution tree. This method introduces sinknode and solves the execution of malicious code path by constructing the symbolic execution tree, so improves the analysis of comprehensive. Experiments to analyze the samples of malware show that the method can enhance the efficiency of the analysis with lower time complexity.     

钢结构节点设计中的弯扭识别

梁柱刚接是钢框架结构中常用的连接形式。采用刚接可以减少梁跨中的弯矩,但设计、制作、施工较复杂,节点处连接件受力情况多样。梁(牛腿)与柱刚接时,相互的位置关系不同,可能使节点受弯矩拉力或扭矩剪力的作用,本文以形象直观的形式介绍梁与柱"顶"接、"搭"接等弯扭识别的简单方法。

CHARACTERIZATION OF LYMPHOMATOUS LYMPH NODES IN DOGS USING CONTRAST HARMONIC AND POWER DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Doppler ultrasound has been used in humans to determine angioarchitecture of lymph nodes as the criterion for the determination of malignancy. We hypothesized that the vascular and perfusion patterns of a canine malignant lymph node could be characterized with intravenous microbubble ultrasound contrast media and that contrast harmonic ultrasound could provide better conspicuity of the angioarchitecture when compared with Power Doppler ultrasound. In this study, 11 peripheral lymph nodes in dogs with histologically verified malignant lymphoma were imaged with fundamental ultrasound, Power Doppler ultrasound, and three contrast harmonic pulse sequences to characterize the vascular pattern and perfusion. Vascular imaging was greatly enhanced in these nodes with 2.13 times more vessels seen with contrast harmonic ultrasound compared with Power Doppler ultrasound (P < 0.01). The angioarchitecture of lymphomatous lymph nodes of dogs in this study were similar to those previously described in malignant superficial lymph nodes in human patients; 45.5% of the nodes had displacement of the central hilar vessel, 45.5% had aberrant vessels, 63.6% had pericapsular vessels, 36.4% had subcapsular vessels, and 81.8% had loss of the central hyperechoic band in fundamental sonography. Poor perfusion, indicated by a lower mean pixel intensity increase between pre- and postcontrast administration images, was seen in 36.4% of the lymph nodes while 63.6% had fair to good perfusion. The perfusion patterns in nine of the 11 lymph nodes were homogenous and two showed focal hypoperfused regions. We conclude that Power Doppler and contrast harmonic ultrasound are beneficial in accurately depicting angioarchitechture and can provide additional information in determining the presence of malignant vascular characteristics within lymphomatous nodes in dogs.     

QUANTITATIVE METHODS FOR INDIRECT CT LYMPHOGRAPHY

In this investigation, we applied quantitative CT methods to characterize contrast enhanced lymph nodes opacified using iodinated contrast media for indirect CT lymphography. lodinated nanoparticles were injected into the buccal submucosa and SQ into the metatarsus and metacarpus of four normal swine (1.0–4.0 ml/site, 76 mg I/ml). Attenuation (HU), volume (cm³), iodine concentration (mg I/cm³), total iodine uptake (mg I), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and percent injected dose (%ID) were estimated in opacified inguinal, cervical and parotid/mandibular lymph nodes using manual image segmentation techniques on 24 hour post-contrast CT images. Lymph node volumes estimated by multiple slice ROI analysis were compared with estimates obtained by post-excisional weight measurements. HU and iodine concentration increased 5–20 fold in opacified nodes (p < 0.01) and CNR increased more than four-fold (p < 0.001). %ID ranged between 3.5 and 11.9% and did not appear dose related. ROI estimated lymph node volumes approximated volumes calculated from weight measurements. (R²= 0.94, p < 0.0001). We conclude that interstitially injected iodinated nanoparticles increase attenuation and conspicuity of targeted nodes on CT images. Quantitative methods could play an important clinical role in more accurate metastasis detection.     

What is your diagnosis? Cervical mass in a cat

An 8-year-old female spayed domestic shorthair cat was presented for several months of weight loss, decreased appetite, and 2 bilateral, ventral cervical masses. Initial cytologic samples were interpreted as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Evaluation of subsequent mass aspirates revealed small numbers of large binucleated and multinucleated cells resembling Reed-Sternberg cells admixed with more numerous small and intermediate-sized lymphocytes. In histopathologic sections, the normal architecture of the lymph node was largely effaced by a slightly heterogeneous mass composed of round cells arranged in densely cellular sheets with a minor population of large (25-mum diameter) mononuclear cells and a few very large (30-40-mum diameter) binucleated or multinucleated cells interpreted as Reed-Sternberg-like cells. Immunohistochemically, the large neoplastic (Reed-Sternberg-like) cells were negative for CD18, CD3, CD20, and CD79a while the background population consisted of about 70% T cells and 30% B cells. This pattern of immunohistochemical staining along with cytologic and histopathologic findings supported a diagnosis of Hodgkin's-like lymphoma, specifically, the lymphocyte-rich subtype. Hodgkin's-like lymphoma has been reported previously in cats and should be suspected when Reed-Sternberg-like cells are observed in cytologic preparations of lymph node aspirates. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
