DCS-RISR: Dynamic channel splitting for efficient real-world image super-resolution.

Real-world image super-resolution (RISR) has received increased focus for improving the quality of SR images under unknown complex degradation. Existing methods rely on the heavy SR models to enhance low-resolution (LR) images of different degradation levels, which significantly restricts their practical deployments on resource-limited devices. In this paper, we propose a novel Dynamic Channel Splitting scheme for efficient Real-world Image Super-Resolution, termed DCS-RISR.

Sporadic hypertrophic and nodular port-wine stain: a study of 27 cases with emphasis on histological features and novel mutation type.

Aims: To investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular characteristics of sporadic hypertrophic and nodular port-wine stains (PWS).

Methods: We analysed the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of 27 sporadic hypertrophic and nodular PWS retrieved from our pathology database from 2013 to 2023 and reviewed the relevant literature.

Results: There were 13 men and 14 women who ranged in age from 10 to 66 years.

Mechanism of LEF1-AS1 regulating HUVEC cells by targeting miR-489-3p/S100A11 axis.

Background: The venous malformation is the most common congenital vascular malformation and exhibits the characteristics of local invasion and lifelong progressive development. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) regulates endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, vascular inflammation, and metabolism and also affects the development of venous malformations. This study aimed to elucidate the role of the lncRNA LEF1-AS1 in the development of venous malformations and examine the interaction among LEF1-AS1, miR-489-3p, and S100A11 in HUVEC cells.

MBUTransNet: multi-branch U-shaped network fusion transformer architecture for medical image segmentation.

Purpose: Recently, transformers have been adopted to computer vision applications and achieve great success in image segmentation. However by simply applying transformers to medical segmentation task it is hard to achieve much higher accuracy than by traditional U-shaped network structures, which are based on CNNs and has been extensively researched. On the other hand, CNN structure pays more attention to local information and ignores global information, which is very important for the medical image segmentation dataset with cell scattered background.

Efficacy of Combined Topical Timolol and Oral Propranolol for Treating Infantile Hemangioma: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Oral propranolol has become the first-line treatment for infantile hemangioma (IH). However, combined therapy with topical timolol and oral propranolol has been proposed as a more effective IH treatment strategy. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of topical timolol, oral propranolol, and their combination for treating IH in a meta-analysis.

Clinical significance of galectin-3 expression in malformed hepatic venous tissue.

Background & Objectives: Hepatic venous malformation gradually develops over time and exhibits the malignant biological behaviours of being locally invasive, causing morphological and functional damage to local tissue, and may even cause systemic coagulopathy. Studies show that galectin-3(Gal-3) expression is closely associated with local invasion of malignant tumours. In this study an attempt was made to assess the clinical significance of Gal-3 in local invasion during hepatic venous malformation in patients.

Pingyangmycin Pretreatment Influences the Biological Behavior of Ocular Venous Malformation and Relates with Galectin-3 Expression.

Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) plays a role in the mechanisms underlying ocular venous malformation. We conducted this study to investigate the effect of pingyangmycin pretreatment on the Gal-3 expressions and biological behavior of ocular venous malformation.

Methods: Tissue samples were collected from 136 patients with ocular venous malformation.

[Analysis of the pain in extremities caused by intramuscular venous malformation and surgical treatments].

Objective: To analyze the pain caused by intramuscular venous malformation, so as to avoid misdiagnosis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 173 patients who received surgical treatments in our department between Jan.2012 to Dec.

[Application of radiofrequency ablation for tongue venous malformation].

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of radiofrequency ablation for tongue venous malformation( VM).

Methods: From July 2013 to July 2014, 30 cases with tongue VM (local or diffuse) were retrospectively analyzed. 23 cases underwent radiofrequency ablation treatment.

[Management of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome by drug therapy and surgery].

Objective: To summarize the characters of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of drug therapy combined with surgery.

Methods: From 2004 to 2010, 59 cases with KMS, who underwent drug therapy and surgery, were retrospectively studied. The average age of the patients, including 33 male and 26 female (male/female, 1.

[Combined treatment with urea injection and surgical procedure for the scrotal vein malformation in teenagers].

Objective: To discuss the treatment of the scrotal vein malformation in teenagers and clinical efficacy.

Methods: 32 cases with the local and diffuse scrotal vein malformation were retrospectively analyzed. 31 cases underwent local injection with 40% urea before resection.

[Combined and sequential therapy for Kasabach-Merritt syndrome].

Objective: To review and summarize the clinical characteristics and therapeutic approaches of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS).

Methods: The combined and sequential therapy was used to for 51 KMS infants between 2005 and 2009. And all cases were retrospectively analyzed.
