Abstract ：
Accurate segmentation of the liver and liver tumors is crucial for clinical diagnosis and treatment. However, the task poses significant challenges due to the complex morphology of tumors, indistinct features of small targets, and the similarity in grayscale values between the liver and surrounding organs. To address these issues, this paper proposes an enhanced 3D UNet architecture, named ELANRes-MSCA-UNet. By incorporating a structural re-parameterized residual module (ELANRes) and a multi-scale convolutional attention module (MSCA), the network significantly improves feature extraction and boundary optimization, particularly excelling in segmenting small targets. Additionally, a two-stage strategy is employed, where the liver region is segmented first, followed by the fine-grained segmentation of tumors, effectively reducing false positive rates. Experiments conducted on the LiTS2017 dataset demonstrate that the ELANRes-MSCA-UNet achieved Dice scores of 97.2% and 72.9% for liver and tumor segmentation tasks, respectively, significantly outperforming other state-of-the-art methods. These results validate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method in medical image segmentation and highlight its potential for clinical applications.

Abstract ：
Objectives: Given the escalating global prevalence of age-related cognitive impairments, identifying modifiable factors is crucial for developing targeted interventions. Methods: After excluding participants with dementia and substantial missing data, 453,950 individuals from UK Biobank (UKB) were included. Cognitive decline was assessed across four cognitive domains. The top 10% exhibiting the greatest decline were categorized as the "Cognitively At-Risk Population". Eighty-three potential factors from three categories were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the independent and joint effects of these factors on cognitive decline. Population Attributable Fractions (PAFs) were calculated to estimate the potential impact of eliminating each risk category. Results: Our findings revealed a significant impact of unfavorable medical and psychiatric histories on processing speed and visual episodic memory decline (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.20-1.51, p = 6.06 x 10(-)7; HR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.22-1.86, p = 1.62 x 10(-)4, respectively). Furthermore, PAF analysis indicated that physiological and biochemical markers were the most critical risk category for preventing processing speed decline (PAF = 7.03%), while social and behavioral factors exerted the greatest influence on preventing visual episodic memory decline (PAF = 9.68%). Higher education, socioeconomic status, and handgrip strength emerged as protective factors, whereas high body mass index (BMI), hypertension, and depression were detrimental. Conclusions: By identifying this high-risk group and quantifying the impact of modifiable factors, this study provides valuable insights for developing targeted interventions to delay cognitive decline and improve public health outcomes in middle-aged and older adults.

Abstract ：
Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signals directly reflect the electrical activity of the fetal heart, enabling the assessment of fetal cardiac health. To effectively separate and extract FECG signals from maternal abdominal electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, this study proposed a W-shaped parallel network, termed Attention R2W-Net, which consisted of two Attention R2U-Nets. In the encoder and decoder, recurrent residual modules were used to replace feedforward convolutional layers, significantly enhancing feature representation and improving noise suppression. Additionally, attention gates were used to replace skip connections, enabling precise correction of low-resolution features using deep features and further improving model performance. The decoders at both ends of the network were utilized to reconstruct FECG and MECG signals, respectively. The algorithm was validated using simulated and real datasets, achieving F1 scores of 99.17%, 98.03%, and 97.08% on the ADFECGDB, PCDB, and NIFECGDB datasets, respectively, demonstrating superior performance in both subjective visual effects and objective evaluation metrics. Attention R2W-Net's ability to extract robustly and accurately FECG signals, even in complex noisy environments, make it a reliable tool for FECG extraction. The proposed method's efficiency and accuracy highlight its potential for widespread clinical application, contributing to improved early diagnosis of fetal cardiac abnormalities.

Abstract ：
The intricate dynamics of brain aging, especially the neurodegenerative mechanisms driving accelerated (ABA) and resilient brain aging (RBA), are pivotal in neuroscience. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these phenotypes is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the temporal dynamics and neuroimaging biomarkers linked to ABA and RBA. This study addressed this gap by utilizing a large-scale UK Biobank (UKB) cohort, with the aim to elucidate brain aging heterogeneity and establish the foundation for targeted interventions. Employing Lasso regression on multimodal neuroimaging data, structural MRI (sMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), and resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI), we predicted the brain age and classified individuals into ABA and RBA cohorts. Our findings identified 1949 subjects (6.2%) as representative of the ABA subpopulation and 3203 subjects (10.1%) as representative of the RBA subpopulation. Additionally, the Discriminative Event-Based Model (DEBM) was applied to estimate the sequence of biomarker changes across aging trajectories. Our analysis unveiled distinct central ordering patterns between the ABA and RBA cohorts, with profound implications for understanding cognitive decline and vulnerability to neurodegenerative disorders. Specifically, the ABA cohort exhibited early degeneration in four functional networks and two cognitive domains, with cortical thinning initially observed in the right hemisphere, followed by the temporal lobe. In contrast, the RBA cohort demonstrated initial degeneration in the three functional networks, with cortical thinning predominantly in the left hemisphere and white matter microstructural degeneration occurring at more advanced stages. The detailed aging progression timeline constructed through our DEBM analysis positioned subjects according to their estimated stage of aging, offering a nuanced view of the aging brain's alterations. This study holds promise for the development of targeted interventions aimed at mitigating age-related cognitive decline.

Abstract ：
Objective: Aiming at the shortcomings of artificial surgical path planning for the thermal ablation of liver tumors, such as the time-consuming and labor-consuming process, and relying heavily on doctors' puncture experience, an automatic path-planning system for thermal ablation of liver tumors based on CT images is designed and implemented. Methods: The system mainly includes three modules: image segmentation and three-dimensional reconstruction, automatic surgical path planning, and image information management. Through organ segmentation and three- dimensional reconstruction based on CT images, the personalized abdominal spatial anatomical structure of patients is obtained, which is convenient for surgical path planning. The weighted summation method based on clinical constraints and the concept of Pareto optimality are used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem, screen the optimal needle entry path, and realize the automatic planning of the thermal ablation path. The image information database was established to store the information related to the surgical path. Results: In the discussion with clinicians, more than 78% of the paths generated by the planning system were considered to be effective, and the efficiency of system path planning is higher than doctors' planning efficiency. Conclusion: After improvement, the system can be used for the planning of the thermal ablation path of a liver tumor and has certain clinical application value.

Abstract ：
The detection of fetal ultrasound standard planes (FUSPs) is important for the diagnosis of fetal malformation and the prevention of perinatal death. As a promising deep-learning technique in FUSP detection, SonoNet's network parameters have a large size. In this paper, we introduced a light pyramid convolution (LPC) block into SonoNet and proposed LPC-SonoNet with reduced network parameters for FUSP detection. The LPC block used pyramid convolution architecture inspired by SimSPPF from YOLOv6 and was able to extract features from various scales with a small parameter size. Using SonoNet64 as the backbone, the proposed network removed one of the convolutional blocks in SonoNet64 and replaced the others with LPC blocks. The proposed LPC-SonoNet model was trained and tested on a publicly available dataset with 12,400 ultrasound images. The dataset with six categories was further divided into nine categories. The images were randomly divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set in a ratio of 8:1:1. Data augmentation was conducted on the training set to address the data imbalance issue. In the classification of six categories and nine categories, LPC-SonoNet obtained the accuracy of 97.0% and 91.9% on the test set, respectively, slightly higher than the accuracy of 96.60% and 91.70% by SonoNet64. Compared with SonoNet64 with 14.9 million parameters, LPC-SonoNet had a much smaller parameter size (4.3 million). This study pioneered the deep-learning classification of nine categories of FUSPs. The proposed LPC-SonoNet may be used as a lightweight network for FUSP detection.

Abstract ：
This study investigates the relationship between modifiable risk factors and dementia subtypes using data from 460,799 participants in the UK Biobank. Utilizing univariate Cox proportional hazards regression models, we examined the associations between 83 modifiable risk factors and the risks of all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and vascular dementia (VD). Composite scores for different domains were generated by aggregating risk factors associated with ACD, AD, and VD, respectively, and their joint associations were assessed in multivariable Cox models. Additionally, population attributable fractions (PAF) were utilized to estimate the potential impact of eliminating adverse characteristics of the risk domains. Our findings revealed that an unfavorable medical history significantly increased the risk of ACD, AD, and VD (hazard ratios (HR) = 1.88, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.74-2.03, p < 0.001; HR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.54-2.10, p < 0.001; HR = 2.39, 95% CI: 2.10-2.71, p < 0.001, respectively). Blood markers (PAF = 12.1%; 17.4%) emerged as the most important risk domain for preventing ACD and VD, while psychiatric factors (PAF = 18.3%) were the most important for preventing AD. This study underscores the potential for preventing dementia and its subtypes through targeted interventions for modifiable risk factors. The distinct insights provided by HR and PAF emphasize the importance of considering both the strength of the associations and the population-level impact of dementia prevention strategies. Our research provides valuable guidance for developing effective public health interventions aimed at reducing the burden of dementia, representing a significant advancement in the field.

Abstract ：
The segmentation of cardiac chambers and the quantification of clinical functional metrics in dynamic echo-cardiography are the keys to the clinical diagnosis of heart disease. Identifying the end-diastolic frames (EDFs) and end-systolic frames (ESFs) and manually segmenting the left ventricle in the echocardiographic cardiac cycle before obtaining the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a time-consuming and tedious task for clinicians. In this work, we proposed a deep learning-based fully automated echocardiographic analysis method. We pro-posed a multi-attention efficient feature fusion network (MAEF-Net) to automatically segment the left ventricle. Then, EDFs and ESFs in all cardiac cycles were automatically detected to compute LVEF. The MAEF-Net method used a multi-attention mechanism to guide the network to capture heartbeat features effectively, while sup-pressing noise, and incorporated deep supervision mechanism and spatial pyramid feature fusion to enhance feature extraction capabilities. The proposed method was validated on the public EchoNet-Dynamic dataset (n = 1226). The Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of the left ventricular segmentation reached (93.10 +/- 2.22)%, and the mean absolute error (MAE) of cardiac phase detection was (2.36 +/- 2.23) frames. The MAE for predicting LVEF was 6.29 %. The proposed method was also validated on a private clinical dataset (n = 22). The DSC of the left ventricular segmentation reached (92.81 +/- 2.85)%, and the MAE of cardiac phase detection was (2.25 +/- 2.27) frames. The MAE for predicting LVEF was 5.91 %, and the Pearson correlation coefficient r reached 0.96. The proposed method may be used as a new method for automatic left ventricular segmentation and quantitative analysis in two-dimensional echocardiography. Our code and trained models will be made available publicly at https://github.com/xiaojinmao-code/MAEF-Net.

Abstract ：
Lung tumor is the first malignant tumor with the highest mortality, but only no more than one-third of patients can be treated by surgical resection. Microwave ablation (MWA) has become a new adjuvant therapeutic mean for lung tumors because of its low trauma, short treatment time, large ablation volume and wide application range. However, the treatment parameters of MWA, such as input power and ablation time, still depend on the doctors' experience, which leads to the ineffectiveness of MWA. Therefore, the accurate modeling of temperature distribution of lung tumor MWA has become a significant technical problem to be solved. Recent research was devoted to personalized characterization of lung tumor parameters, finite element analysis of temperature distribution in MWA and accurate ablation effect evaluation. In this paper, a review of the recently obtained results and data will be presented and discussed.
