Digital Rebirth and Design of China's Cultural Heritage

This paper discusses the rebirth and design of China's cultural heritage in the digital era, focusing on the concept and characteristics of digital virtual products and their application in cultural heritage. Digital products are defined as contents exchanged based on digital formats or transmitted via the Internet, characterized by immortality, mutability, rapid distribution and high replenishment. Video plays an important role in digital virtual products by combining visual and audio elements to create a rich experience for consumers. The field of design has experienced a shift from traditional physical design to virtual product design, which utilizes digital technologies and virtual reality to create a virtual objective presence. Digital technologies have shown great potential for cultural heritage preservation, such as the Dunhuang Research Institute's use of AR technology to provide immersive experiences for tourists. The rise of the meta-universe concept has further expanded the digital world, with blockchain and NFT technologies providing uniqueness, traceability and authentication for digital assets. The Dunhuang Research Academy has begun exploring digital NFT to transform mural elements into traceable and collectible visual artworks, promoting the global dissemination of Dunhuang culture.

CMR predictors of acute right heart failure after LVAD implantation

Abstract Background Acute right heart failure (RHF) is one of the most dangerous complications after placement of left ventricular assisted device (LVAD), having a significant impact on prognosis, and is estimated to be around 3 to 35%. Even though right ventricular evaluation with hemodynamical and echocardiographic measurements is a key aspect prior to LVAD implantation, prediction of RHF remains a challenge in daily clinical practice. Purpose To identify cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) predictors of RHF after LVAD placement. Methods We retrospectively enrolled patients referred to our centre for implantation who also underwent CMR scan prior to LVAD implantation. Acute RHF was defined according to Mechanical Circulatory Support Academy Research Consortium (MRC ARC) criteria. Baseline characteristics, preoperative laboratory, echocardiographic, right heart catheterization (RHC) and CMR parameters were obtained. Patients were divided into two groups based on the development of acute RHF. The variables showing significant differences between the two groups were analysed with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to find the best cut-offs and then combined into a risk score. Results We enrolled 54 patients who underwent continuous-centrifugal flow LVAD implantation from 2013 to 2021 in whom a CMR within median time of 30 days pre-implantation was available. Four patients were excluded due to low quality images. Among the final cohort of 50 patients, 15 (28%) developed acute RHF. Patients who developed RHF showed worse INTERMACS class, worse renal and liver function, higher central venous pressure at RHC, worse TAPSE at echocardiography and overall smaller left ventricles at the CMR analysis when compared to those who had not acute RHF. No CMR derived right ventricle parameters nor moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation at echocardiography were different among the two groups. We found that CMR-derived LV mass indexed < 65 g/m2, left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) < 70 mm, and LV eccentricity index >1,12 were independent predictors of acute RHF. A CMR-derived score with these three parameters was built (1 point for each). This CMR score has shown to be an independent predictor of acute RHF at multivariate analysis with an odds ratio of 7,084 (CI 95%1.614-37.734) when corrected for other clinical and instrumental predictors of acute RHF. Conclusions Our study proposes a simple scoring system based on three CMR- derived parameters (LVEDD, LV mass indexed and LV eccentricity index) to screen for acute RHF prior LVAD implantation. This score shows promise to be an independent predictor of acute RHF, even when adjusted for clinical, echocardiographic, and haemodynamic parameters. Our model is built on CMR measurement of the LV, showing how patients with smaller ventricles and a left displacement of the interventricular septum (expressed with a higher LV eccentricity index) are at higher risk of developing acute RHF.ROC curves

Analysis of the flow induced vibration transition sustained by a hydrofoil

Hydrofoils sustain severe flow induced vibrations when a hydrodynamic excitation source couples with a natural frequency, a phenomenon called lock-in responsible for early fatigue and acoustic radiations. The present paper focuses on the fluid-structure interaction during the transition between a non-resonant and a lock-in regimes. Tests were performed in the hydrodynamic tunnel of the French Naval Academy Research Institute with a truncated NACA 66-306 hydrofoil for chord-based Reynolds numbers ranging between 255000 and 374000 at zero angle of attack. Laser vibrometry, particle image velocimetry and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition were used to investigate the fluid-structure interaction mechanisms. The analysis has highlighted a transition between a low magnitude vibration regime occurring at Reynolds 255000 and a lock-in regime occurring at Reynolds 374000. A primary excitation source has been associated with Karman vortex shedding. Also, during the lock-in, a specific type of vortices is observed at a characteristic frequency equal to twice the Karman vortex shedding frequency. Also, a flow recirculation region located in close vicinity of the trailing-edge is reinforced at this particular regime. The understanding of the mechanisms leading to high magnitude vibrations will reduce the acoustic radiations and enhance the efficiency of next generation hydrofoils.

Experimental analysis of eigenmode frequency of an hydrofoil on trailing edge hydroelastic coupling generating tonal noise

The majority of anthropogenic noise in the oceans is due to commercial, military or tourist motorized navigation. Lifting surfaces such as hydrofoils, propeller blades, rudders and stabilizers can be prone to flow induceed vibrations and, under certain conditions, to produce tonal noise. Reducing vibration and noise generated by this type of structures, is therefore an important issue to limit noise pollution and to improve the acoustic discretion of ships. This study, carried out at the French Naval Academy Research Institute, highlights the hydroelastic coupling mechanism responsible of trailing edge vibrations and of lifting surface tonal noise evolving in laminar to turbulent transition regime. This experimental research was carried out in a hydrodynamic tunnel with a NACA0015 hydrofoil, for angles of incidence ranging from 0° to 12° and Reynolds numbers varying from 200,000 to 1,200,000. Laser vibrometry was used to specify the vibrational behavior of two identical hydrofoil made of aluminum and brass in order to estimate the influence of material and eigenfrequency on tonal noise generation. The results show that, contrary to the same mechanism in air, tonal noise of hydrofoil was strongly dependent of the natural frequency of the profile.

Pediatric practice experiences with second dose influenza vaccination: An AAP Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) Study

ObjectivesExplore pediatric staff experiences administering the second influenza vaccine dose. Study designQualitative focus groups/interviews. MethodsAs part of the National Institutes of Health-funded Flu2Text randomized control trial of text message reminders for second influenza vaccine dose, we conducted seven focus groups and four individual interviews (n = 39 participants total) with clinicians and staff from participating practices from the American Academy of Pediatrics' Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) Network. Of 37 participating practices, 10 were selected through stratified sampling of practices with highest (n = 5) and lowest (n = 5) randomized controlled trial effect sizes. A semi-structured discussion guide included questions that addressed parental, practice, and health system barriers/facilitators to second influenza vaccine dose administration. Using the Systems Model of Clinical Preventive Care as a conceptual framework, two investigators independently coded transcripts (Κ = 0.86, high agreement) with NVivo 12 Plus. Coding inconsistencies were resolved by consensus. ResultsClinicians/staff reported that administering the second influenza vaccine dose in a season was more complex than other childhood vaccines. They highlighted parental uncertainty about the need for the second dose and the difficulty and inconvenience of bringing children back to the office as important barriers. Caregiver–staff relationships were perceived as helpful in getting children vaccinated with their second dose and vaccine reminders were seen as important cues-to-action. ConclusionsEnsuring receipt of two doses of the influenza vaccine in a given season presents unique challenges. Themes identified provide a framework for understanding opportunities to bolster second dose receipt, including explaining why two doses are needed, offering flexible hours for vaccination, and sending vaccine reminders.

A multidisciplinary team and patient perspective on omission of surgery after neoadjuvant systemic therapy for early breast cancer: A European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) Research Academy survey

BackgroundSurgical de-escalation aims to reduce morbidity without compromising oncological outcomes. Trials to de-escalate breast cancer (BC) surgery among exceptional responders after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) are ongoing. Combined patient and clinician insights on this strategy are unknown. MethodsThe European Society of Surgical Oncology Young Surgeons Alumni Club (EYSAC) performed an online survey to evaluate the perspective of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) on omission of surgery (“no surgery”) following complete response to NST for early BC. The aim was to identify MDT considerations and perceived barriers to omission of BC surgery. Patient insights were obtained through a focused group discussion (FGD) with four members of the patient advocacy group, Guiding Researchers and Advocates to Scientific Partnerships (GRASP). ResultsThe MDT survey had 248 responses, with 229 included for analysis. Criteria for a “no surgery” approach included: patient's tumor and nodal status before (39.7 %) and after (45.9 %) NST and comorbidities (44.3 %). The majority chose standard surgery for hypothetical cases with a complete response to NST. Barriers for implementation were lack of definitive trials (55.9 %), “no surgery” not being discussed in MDTs (28.8 %) and lack of essential diagnostic or therapeutic options (24 %). Patients expressed communication gaps about BC surgery, lack of trust regarding accuracy of imaging, fear of regret and psychosocial burden of choosing less extensive surgery. ConclusionsBefore accepting “no surgery” after complete response to NST, MDTs and patients need level 1 evidence from clinical trials, access to standard diagnostic modalities and treatments. Patient's fear of regretting less surgery need to be acknowledged and addressed.

Clinical and Functional Outcomes of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection and Corticosteroid Injection in Patients With De Quervain's Tenosynovitis: A Comparative Retrospective Study.

Background and aim De Quervain's tenosynovitis (DQST) is a prevalent condition involving tendon inflammation in the wrist. This study compares the clinical and functional outcomes between patients receiving platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and those receiving corticosteroid injections for DQST. Methods A retrospective study conducted at Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kolar, India, included 58 patients with DQST, divided into Group A (PRP injection) and Group B (corticosteroid injection). Assessments were conducted using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, and the Modified Mayo Wrist Score (MMWS) at baseline, one month, three months, and six months. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0 (Released 2013; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with significance set at p < 0.05. Results Both treatment groups demonstrated a reduction in VAS scores over time. Significant improvements were observed at one month (p = 0.007) and six months (p = 0.004) post-injection. Baseline (p = 0.336) and three-month (p = 0.829) VAS scores showed no significant differences. Similarly, DASH scores were not significantly different at any measured time points: baseline (p = 0.331), one month (p = 0.592), three months (p = 0.707), and six months (p = 0.314). MMWS scores also showed no significant differences at baseline (p = 0.123), one month (p = 0.101), three months (p = 0.422), and six months (p = 0.956). Independent sample t-tests highlighted significant VAS score improvements at one month (t = 2.813, p = 0.007) and six months (t = -3.009, p = 0.004), but DASH and MMWS scores showed no significant differences at any time points. Chi-square tests indicated no significant associations between the groups at one-month, three-month, and six-month follow-ups. Conclusion Both PRP and corticosteroid injections effectively alleviate pain in DQST patients, as evidenced by significant VAS score improvements. However, functional outcomes measured by DASH and MMWS scores did not significantly differ between the treatments. These results suggest that while both treatments are effective for pain management, their short-term impact on functional improvement may be similar. To investigate long-term functional results, more research with bigger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is required.

Surgical management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors – An EYSAC and E-AHPBA international survey of current practice

IntroductionPancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical behavior, which makes their assessment and management quite challenging. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively assess the existing treatment landscape for patients with pNET. Materials and methodsThe study was conducted with the support of the ESSO-EYSAC Research Academy in collaboration with the E-AHPBA. An online survey was distributed via email and social media to surgical networks across Europe and beyond (September 1–30, 2023). ResultsOverall, 155 complete responses were obtained. A specialized NET tumor board was present at the institutions of 94 (61 %) of the study participants. The most frequently applied guidelines were from ENETS (n = 97; 63 %), NCCN (n = 74; 48 %), and ESMO (n = 53; 34 %). For resectability, similar criteria as in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma were used by 111 (72 %) participants, even though 116 (75 %) participants believed that pNET/pNEC should have their own resectability criteria. Most respondents used somatostatin analogues (n = 126; 81 %) and chemotherapy (n = 85; 55 %) as neoadjuvant treatments, followed by molecularly targeted agents (n = 45; 29 %) and PRRT (n = 37; 24 %). Only 17 (11 %) participants agreed/strongly agreed that the management of pNET/pNEC is sufficiently addressed in surgical education programs. ConclusionThis international survey highlighted areas for improvement in the care of pNET, namely the lack of pNET-specific resectability criteria and educational programs addressing pNET management.

QOL-48. NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION FOR PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR PATIENTS AND SURVIVORS - A PRE-STUDY WITH A FOCUS ON PATIENT INVOLVEMENT

Abstract BACKGROUND Neuropsychological (i.e. cognitive, emotional and social) sequelae after pediatric brain tumors (PBT) can severely impair daily-life participation and consequently quality of life. Long-term access to appropriate interventions is therefore essential. Previous studies on effectiveness have recommended multi-component interventions tailored to the specific neuropsychological impairments and unique needs of the survivors. Hence, before conducting a new intervention study, we carried out a participative pre-study, in order to incorporate experienced needs of the group into a future concept. METHODS Known efficacy factors for neurocognitive interventions for PBT patients/survivors were analyzed in a systematic literature search (PubMed, PsychINFO and SCOPUS, 2000 -2024). In addition, a 3-part workshop (in total 4.5 days) was held with PBT survivors and carers (N=20) and Health-Care-Professionals (N=5). The “junior research academy” was designed to participatively run through the research process from the initial idea (how to improve interventions) to the study design. RESULTS After title and abstract screening only 27 studies remained for detailed analysis, with computerized/online cognitive training (mainly working memory), being the most frequently studied intervention, followed by exercise training. Single studies on the effect of medication, parent training, practice/strategy training and behavioral therapy, group training on social skills and neurofeedback were identified. Improvements in different domains have been shown, but recruitment often remains very difficult, as does the transfer to everyday life. Interestingly, the “junior research academy” developed in a slightly different direction: the winning projects (“family guide” or “everyday compass”) were primarily aimed at (1) providing quick and unbureaucratic information and support, (2) giving orientation in daily life, (3) helping to find appropriate interventions, and (4) providing emotional and organizational support. CONCLUSIONS A core group of the participating survivors and health-care-professionals will now finalize the development of an intervention with elements of both pillars and subsequently run a controlled trial.

Long-term Treatment Patterns for Diabetic Macular Edema: Up to 6-Year Follow-up in the IRIS® Registry

To characterize anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal therapy (IVT) patterns and long-term visual outcomes among patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) in routine clinical practice in the United States. Retrospective analysis of the American Academy of Ophthalmology's Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS®) Registry.; Participants: Treatment-naïve patients with DME (no previous IVT in the past 12 months) initiating anti-VEGF IVT from 1/1/2015-3/31/2021. Baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and long-term visual acuity (VA) outcomes were reported for up to 6 years of follow-up. Outcomes included the annualized number of injections, change in VA, and anti-VEGF agents. A total of 190,345 eyes met inclusion criteria. After 1 year of anti-VEGF IVT initiation, eyes received a mean of 3.9 (±2.8) injections and gained +3.2 (±16.4) letters of vision. Of the 1,236 eyes with year 6 data, eyes received a mean of 2.9 (±2.1) injections in year 6 and gained +0.5 (±19.7) letters from baseline. The number of injections decreased, and injection intervals increased year over year up to 6 years regardless of baseline VA initiation. The average injection interval was 10-weeks in year 1, then widened to 13.2 in year 2, before plateauing in years 3-6 (12.6, 12.3, 12.2, and 12.3 weeks respectively). Improvements in VA from baseline were greatest in eyes that received 5 or more injections each year. At the end of follow-up, eyes with good baseline vision (> 20/25) lost vision, whereas those with worse baseline vision (< 20/25) gained vision. Although 51.7% of patients with DME discontinued IVT after a mean of 6 months, 32.8% re-initiated anti-VEGF IVT. Worse VA outcomes were associated with patients of Hispanic ethnicity (-1.08 [-1.34, -0.83] compared to non-Hispanic), Medicaid insurance (-1.15 [-1.48, -0.81] compared to Commercial), and older age (-0.06 [-0.07, -0.05] each additional year) CONCLUSIONS: Patients with DME in the routine clinical settings receive fewer injections than those in clinical trials and fewer than recommended per the label of FDA approved anti-VEGF IVT.

The MIDAS touch: Frameworks for procedural model innovation and validation.

Simulation-based procedural practice is crucial to emergency medicine skills training and maintenance. However, many commercial procedural models are either nonexistent or lacking in key elements. Simulationists often create their own novel models with minimal framework for designing, building, and validation. We propose two interlinked frameworks with the goal to systematically build and validate models for the desired educational outcomes. Simulation Academy Research Committee and members with novel model development expertise assembled as the MIDAS (Model Innovation, Development and Assessment for Simulation) working group. This working group focused on improving novel model creation and validation beginning with a preconference workshop at 2023 Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Annual Meeting. The MIDAS group sought to (1) assess the current state of novel model validation and (2) develop frameworks for the broader simulation community to create, improve, and validate procedural models. Workshop participants completed 17 surveys for a response rate of 100%. Many simulationists have created models but few have validated them. The most common barriers to validation were lack of standardized guidelines and familiarity with the validation process.We have combined principles from education and engineering fields into two interlinked frameworks. The first is centered on steps involved with model creation and refinement. The second is a framework for novel model validation processes. These frameworks emphasize development of models through a deliberate, form-follows-function methodology, aimed at ensuring training quality through novel models. Following a blueprint of how to create, test, and improve models can save innovators time and energy, which in turn can yield greater and more plentiful innovation at lower time and financial cost. This guideline allows for more standardized approaches to model creation, thus improving future scholarship on novel models.

Comment on “Transport of substantial stratospheric ozone to the surface by a dying typhoon and shallow convection” by Chen et al. (2022)

Abstract. Chen et al. (2022) analyzed the event of rapid nocturnal O3 enhancement (NOE) observed on 31 July 2021 at the surface level in the North China Plain and proposed transport of substantial stratosphere ozone to the surface by Typhoon In-fa followed by downdraft of shallow convection as the mechanism of the NOE event. The analysis seems to be valid from the viewpoint of atmospheric physics. This comment revisits the NOE phenomenon on the basis of the China National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC) network data used in Chen et al. (2022), together with the CNEMC data from Zibo (ZB) and O3, NOx, PAN (peroxyacetic nitric anhydride), and VOC (volatile organic compound) data from the Zibo supersite operated by the China Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES). We found (a) Ox (O3 + NO2) levels during the NOE period approaching those of O3 during 14:00–17:00 LT, (b) levels of PAN and the relationship between O3 and PAN consistent with dominance of chemical and physical processes within the boundary layer, and (c) estimated photochemical ages of air mass shorter than 1 d and showing no drastic increases during the NOE. We argue that the NOE was not caused by typhoon-induced stratospheric intrusion but originated from fresh photochemical production in the lower troposphere. Our argument is well supported by the analysis of atmospheric transport as well as ground-based remote sensing data.

Social Media Analytics of User Evaluation for Innovative Digital Cultural and Creative Products: Experiences Regarding Dunhuang Cultural Heritage

Social media platforms play an increasingly important role in cultural communication as society develops, attracting promotions and discussions about digital cultural and creative products (CACPs). This research investigates the cultural collaboration between Tencent and Dunhuang Research Academy (Dunhuang Academy) and analyzes user evaluation of integrating cultural heritage education into CACPs. We obtained data through Weibo and compared user evaluations and semantic social network analysis of digital CACPs, including interactive products, games, and music. Results indicated that users were more interested in landscapes, dubbing, and user-generated content (UGC) for interactive products, character versions, posters and skills for games, and singers and songs for concerts. Semantic social network analysis was also used to explore the Dunhuang CACP Circle. Scant studies evaluate the usefulness of integrating cultural heritage into different digital CACPs, especially in Asia. Our suggestions help promoters understand user needs for digital CACPs and better user experience and value.

Constraints on axion-like particles from the observation of Galactic sources by the LHAASO* *Xiao-Jun Bi is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (12175248).

High-energy photons may oscillate with axion-like particles (ALPs) when they propagate through the Milky Way's magnetic field, resulting in an alteration in the observed photon energy spectrum. Ultra-high energy gamma-ray spectra, measured by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) up to , provide a promising opportunity to investigate the ALP-photon oscillation effect. In this study, we utilize the gamma-ray spectra of four Galactic sources measured by the LHAASO, that is, the Crab Nebula, LHAASO J2226+6057, LHAASO J1908+0621, and LHAASO J1825-1326, to explore this effect. We employ the CLs method to set constraints on the ALP parameters. Our analysis of the observations of the four sources reveals that the ALP-photon coupling is constrained to be smaller than for an ALP mass of at 95% C.L. Combining the observations of the Crab Nebula from the LHAASO and other experiments, we find that the ALP-photon coupling may be set to approximately for an ALP mass of , which is similar to the CAST constraint.

Abstract Aim: The purpose of this article is to give an analysis of developing trends and research hotspots within the KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER) Group using bibliometric methodologies. Materials and Methods: Using co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence analysis, publications from the Scopus database for the years 1973–2022 are examined and analyzed on a variety of factors. R-Programming (Biblioshiny) and VOSViewer, an application for scientific visualization, are used to do the analysis. Results: There were 1721 publications in Scopus throughout the study period, with 83.9% of those being journal articles and the remaining 6% being letters and case studies. Research generally shows a constant rise with growing multi-authorship. The most sought-after magazine for publishing by the writers at KAHER is “Reproductive Health,” and they prefer to collaborate on research pieces. In addition, health-care science services and medical informatics have steadily developed into new areas of scientific interest. Originality: This study offers a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the KAHERs’ formative environment. This study can serve as a solid starting point for future research and can be used to analyze how health science research has changed overtime. Conclusion: The study reveals KAHER’s robust publishing productivity and impact, with a diverse output among authors and a consistent growth in the number of publications. The dominance of collaborative research, high citation rates, and the prevalence of medical research suggest the importance of international collaborations and the implementation of an institutional online repository system for enhanced research efficacy and accessibility.
