    Abstract In many practical multi-channel active noise control (ANC) applications, various constraints need to be satisfied, such as stability, enhancement, etc. One way to enforce these constraints is to add a regularization term to the Wiener filter formulation, which, by tuning only a single parameter, can over satisfy many constraints and degrade the ANC performance. Another approach for non-adaptive ANC filter design that can produce better ANC performance is to directly solve the constrained optimization problem formulated based on the H

    Abstract Background: Obesity is a global health issue with increasing prevalence. Surgical procedures, such as surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF), may be affected by obesity-related complications. The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of obesity on SSRF outcomes in multiple rib fractures.
    Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from adults aged ≥ 20 years in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database diagnosed with multiple rib fractures who underwent SSRF between 2005 and 2018. It investigated the relationship between obesity and in-patient outcomes, such as discharge status, length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, hospital costs, and adverse events using logistic and linear regression analyses.
    Results: Analysis of data from 1,754 patients (morbidly obese: 87; obese: 106; normal weight: 1,561) revealed that morbid obesity was associated with longer LOS (aBeta = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.07), higher hospital costs (aBeta = 47.35, 95% CI: 38.55, 56.14), increased risks of adverse events (aOR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.61), hemorrhage/need for transfusion (aOR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.79) and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.58) compared to normal weight patients. Among patients with flail chest, morbid obesity was significantly associated with tracheostomy (aOR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 4.32), ARDS/respiratory failure (aOR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.09, 3.70), and mechanical ventilation ≥ 96 hours (aOR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.47, 5.32). In contrast, morbid obesity had no significant associations with these adverse respiratory outcomes among patients without a flail chest (p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Morbid obesity is associated with adverse outcomes following SSRF for multiple rib fractures, especially for flail chest patients.

    Abstract Vision transformers (ViTs) have become one of the dominant frameworks for vision tasks in recent years because of their ability to efficiently capture long-range dependencies in image recognition tasks using self-attention. In fact, both CNNs and ViTs have advantages and disadvantages in vision tasks, and some studies suggest that the use of both may be an effective way to balance performance and computational cost. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid network based on CNN and transformer, using CNN to extract local features and transformer to capture long-distance dependencies. We also proposed a new feature map resolution reduction based on Discrete Cosine Transform and self-attention, named DCT-Attention Down-sample (DAD). Our DctViT-L achieves 84.8% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet 1K, far outperforming CMT, Next-ViT, SpectFormer and other state-of-the-art models, with lower computational costs. Using DctViT-B as the backbone, RetinaNet can achieve 46.8% mAP on COCO val2017, which improves mAP by 2.5% and 1.1% with less calculation cost compared with CMT-S and SpectFormer as the backbone.

    Abstract Acoustic radiation modes (ARMs) have been widely used in noise control engineering. For an arbitrarily shaped radiator, ARMs are usually obtained by using the boundary element method (BEM). For high frequencies and large structures, the BEM calculation is usually time consuming. An alternative method was recently developed in which the ARMs are obtained by using generalized singular value decomposition and spherical harmonic functions. In this paper, spheroidal harmonic functions are used instead of spherical harmonic functions. The proposed method is potentially more efficient for ARM calculations for structures with one dimension significantly larger than the other two.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate and compare the clinical effects and safety of DICE regimen combined with rituximab and GDP regimen combined with rituximab for the treatment of elderly patients with relapsed and refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
    Methods: Ninety elderly patients with relapsed and refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma were admitted in our hospital from January 2008 to June 2013 and randomly divided into 2 groups, including A group (45 patients) and B group (45 patients), the patients in A group were treated by DICL regimen combined with rituximab, while the patients in B group were treated by GDP regimen combined with rituximab; the clinical efficacy, disease-free survival time, the survival rate with follow-up and the incidence of toxic side-effects in 2 groups were compared.
    Results: The clinical efficacy of B group was significant better than that of A group (P < 0.05). The disease-free survival time of B group was significantly longer than that of A group (P < 0.05). The survival rate with follow-up of B group was significantly higher than that of A group (P < 0.05). The difference was not significant in incidence of the toxic side effects between 2 groups (P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: Compared with DICE regimen combined with rituximab, GDP regimen combined with rituximab in treatment of elderly patients with relapsed and refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma can efficiently reduce tumor loading, prolong the disease-free survival time, improve the long-term clinical prognosis, and not aggravate the side effects of drugs.

    Abstract Exploring the risk factors of avian influenza (AI) occurrence helps us to monitor and control the disease. Since late 2020, the number of avian influenza outbreaks in domestic and wild birds has increased in most European countries, including Denmark. This study was conducted to identify potential risk factors for wild birds and poultry during the epidemic in 2020/2021 in Denmark. Using Danish AI surveillance data of actively surveyed poultry and passively surveyed wild birds from June 2020 to May 2021, we calculated geographical attributes for bird locations and assessed the potential risk factors of AI detections using logistic regression analyses. 4% of actively surveyed poultry and 39% of passively surveyed wild birds were detected with AI circulating or ongoing at the time. Of these, 10 and 99% tested positive for the H5/H7 AI subtypes, respectively. Our analyses did not find any statistically significant risk factors for actively surveyed poultry within the dataset. For passively surveyed wild birds, bird species belonging to the Anseriformes order had a higher risk of being AI virus positive than five other taxonomic bird orders, and Galliformes were of higher risk than two other taxonomic bird orders. Besides, every 1 km increase in the distance to wetlands was associated with a 5.18% decrease in the risk of being AI positive (OR (odds ratio) 0.95, 95% CI 0.91, 0.99), when all other variables were kept constant. Overall, bird orders and distance to wetlands were associated with the occurrence of AI. The findings may provide targets for surveillance strategies using limited resources and assist in risk-based surveillance during epidemics.

    Abstract The equivalent source methods (ESM) that have been developed to this point can generally be classified into two categories: one in which a relatively large number of lower order sources are fixed at various locations, and one in which a series of higher order sources are fixed at one location. The present work started with a model in the latter category, but the individual sources were then allowed to move separately to locations which were determined by using a nonlinear optimization procedure based on the measured sound field data. To test this approach, experiments were conducted using a small loudspeaker cabinet; measurements were made using an array of microphones on all sides of the loudspeaker. It was found that by allowing the source components to move, the sound field representation in both the near and far fields was improved, particularly at high frequencies, compared to the model with fixed source locations. By comparison with results obtained from boundary element calculations based on laser vibrometer measurements of the loudspeaker's diaphragm and tweeter velocities, it was found that the proposed ESM can also be used to accurately predict the sound pressure distribution on the source surface.

    Abstract Radiotherapy is one of the most common treatments for oral cancer. However, in the clinic, recurrence and metastasis of oral cancer occur after radiotherapy, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Cancer stem cells (CSCs), considered the "seeds" of cancer, have been confirmed to be in a quiescent state in most established tumours, with their innate radioresistance helping them survive more easily when exposed to radiation than differentiated cancer cells. There is increasing evidence that CSCs play an important role in recurrence and metastasis post-radiotherapy in many cancers. However, little is known about how oral CSCs cause tumour recurrence and metastasis post-radiotherapy. In this review article, we will first summarise methods for the identification of oral CSCs and then focus on the characteristics of a CSC subpopulation induced by radiation, hereafter referred to as "awakened" CSCs, to highlight their response to radiotherapy and potential role in tumour recurrence and metastasis post-radiotherapy as well as potential therapeutics targeting CSCs. In addition, we explore potential therapeutic strategies targeting these "awakened" CSCs to solve the serious clinical challenges of recurrence and metastasis in oral cancer after radiotherapy.
