Sparse regularization inversion method for transient electromagnetic data and high-resolution prospection of subsurface targets.

Transient Electromagnetic Method (TEM) is a geophysical technique with great potential for high-resolution subsurface imaging. However, conventional inversion algorithms for TEM typically employ the L2-norm regularization in the objective function, which assumes a smoothly varying resistivity distribution. This assumption limits the resolution of sharp electrical interfaces.

[Prognostic value of difference between peripheral venous and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in patients with septic shock: a pilot study].

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of the difference between peripheral venous and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in patients with septic shock following early resuscitation.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted among the patients with septic shock treated in our department during the period from May, 2017 to May, 2018. Peripheral venous, peripheral arterial and central venous blood samples were collected simultaneously and analyzed immediately at bedside after 6-h bundle treatment.

[Prognostic value of differences between peripheral arterial and venous blood gas analysis in patients with septic shock].

Objective: To investigate the value of the difference between peripheral arterial and venous blood gas analysis for the prognosis of patients with septic shock after resuscitation.

Methods: Patients with septic shock aged 18 to 80 years admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from May 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled. The peripheral arterial blood and peripheral venous blood gas analysis were measured simultaneously after the early 6 hours resuscitation, including pH, partial pressure of oxygen (PO), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO), base excess (BE), bicarbonate (HCO) and lactate (Lac) level, and the difference values between peripheral arterial and venous blood were calculated.

[Inhibition of mixture of lucid garoderma and lucid garoderma spore on tumor cell in vitro and in vivo].

Background & Objective: Garoderma lucidum (lingzhi) is a kind of medicinal fungus with a long history in China as a valuable tonic folk remedy. It has been demonstrated that lingzhi had growth inhibition effect against implanted mice tumors. It is generally regarded that anti-tumor action of lingzhi is induced by promoting function of immune system.
