Abstract:

We compared surgical outcomes of the single-stage and two-stage modified Fontan procedures to clarify clinical superiority. Of 28 children undergoing a modified Fontan procedure from October 1995 to October 2005, 15 had a 1-stage and 13 had a 2-stage operation. In the 2-stage group, pulmonary artery growth was evaluated before and after the first stage. Operative mortality was 26.6% in the 1-stage group and 0% in the 2-stage group. The benefits of a previous bidirectional Glenn shunt were decreased cyanosis and volume overload, but there was no significant difference in pulmonary artery growth reflected in pulmonary artery indices before and after the bidirectional Glenn procedure. Older children underwent a 2-stage modified Fontan procedure and had better outcomes in terms of lower mortality, improved oxygen saturation, decreased volume load, and less deterioration of atrioventricular valve regurgitation.

Abstract:

The method of dynamic mass isolation is utilized in a self-moving precision positioning stage actuated by a piezostack to increase its moving speed. Two prototypes, namely, the referenced stage and the modified stage, have been fabricated. The only difference between the two stages is the flexure hinge manufactured in the modified stage to achieve an efficient dynamic mass isolation method. The step response has been investigated. The modified stage with dynamic mass isolation presents the average displacement of 6.6 µm with the applied step voltage being 55 V. By contrast, the referenced stage without dynamic mass isolation presents the average displacement of 1.6 µm. As a type of quasi-static piezoactuator/motors, the modified stage moves approximately four times faster than the referenced stage under the same driving frequency. By utilizing the dynamic mass isolation method, the modified stage still features the advantages of the referenced stage, such as cost-effective controllers, heavy-load capability, and motion of nanoscale. The concept and technique presented in this study can be applied to precision positioning stages for improved speed performance.

Abstract:

In order to promote the resin modifying agent applied into pavement materials, a type of resin modifying agent was selected as the modifier to prepare modified asphalt. The molecular crystal structure of the modifying material was characterized by using the X-ray diffraction test (XRD). The microstructure and element composition of PA6 was investigated through focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). The thermal property and functional groups of PA6 were studied by thermogravimetric analysis-Fourier infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) test. The physical property and rheological properties of PA modified asphalt were evaluated to confirm the applying feasibility of PA6 in asphalt. The results indicated that PA6 was the semicrystalline polymer and the existence of γ crystal form might improve the toughness of asphalt materials effectively. The thermal decomposition process of PA6 could be divided into three stages roughly: inert weight loss stage, rapid weight loss stage, and stable stage. The amount of PA6 modifier should be appropriately controlled during the application process to ensure the comprehensive effect of PA6 on high-temperature performance and low-temperature performance. The corresponding initial modulus attenuation value of PA modified asphalt was less than 70# asphalt under the same test conditions.

Abstract:

Rotodynamic multiphase pumps are usually equipped with many compression units to provide sufficient boosting pressure for the transportation of production fluid in gas oil field. It is a challenge to maintain pump performance while flow parameters in each stage vary due to the compressibility of gas-liquid phase. In this article, a stage-by-stage design method is proposed to improve the boosting capability of a multiphase pump. Variations of flow parameters in each stage are investigated based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation. Available methods to determinate main impeller geometry parameters of impeller are discussed. The stage-by-stage design method is applied on a five-stage multiphase pump when the inlet gas volume fraction (GVF) are 30% and 50% separately. The second stage is modified base on its corresponding inlet flow parameters when inlet GVF is 30% while the second and third stage are modified when inlet GVF is 50%. Flow parameters, pressure distribution and velocity distribution are compared between the original pump and modified pump. Differential pressure of the modified pump increases by 53.72 kPa and 58.57 kPa respectively when inlet GVFs are 30% and 50%. The feasibility of the stage-by-stage design method is verified through the comparison results.

Abstract:

A simulation–based study to predict the impact of biofilm growth on displacement distributions for flow of water through a supporting packed bed is presented. The lattice Boltzmann method and a directed random walk algorithm are used, and are applied to the system with and without biofilm being present. The aim of this simulation study is to model the anomalous transport dynamics induced by biofilm, as reported in the literature, and thus to study the impact of observation time, Δ, on the shape of the displacement distributions (propagators). We believe that this is the first demonstration of a propagator simulation for flow through a complex porous structure modulated by biofilm growth. The propagator distributions undergo a transition from a pre-asymptotic to a Gaussian-shaped distribution with increasing Δ. The propagators were simulated for a wide range of Δ going up to 500 seconds. This transition occurs with and without biofilm, but is very significantly delayed when biofilm is present due to the consequential development of essentially stagnant regions. The transition can be classified into three stages: a diffusion-dominated stage, a “twin-peak” stage and an advection-dominated stage.

Abstract:

Previous work has shown that sulphide self-heating occurs in three distinct stages, referred to as Stage A, Stage B and Stage C. In this publication, the focus is the transition from Stage A to Stage B which occurs at ca. 100 °C. Background literature hints that the transition corresponds to the transformation of the rhombic form of elemental sulphur to the more reactive monoclinic form that occurs at 96 °C. A test apparatus is modified for adiabatic heating to track the transition. The results support this transformation of sulphur as being key to the transition, and the transition temperature is thus modified to 96 °C. Variations in a sample’s response under adiabatic conditions are observed and possible reasons are discussed. Testing in adiabatic mode provides new insights into the sulphide self-heating process that complements the test designed to identify propensity to self-heat.

Abstract:

Purpose Previous research has little specific guidance on how to improve large infrastructures’ risk analysis. This paper aims to propose a practical risk analysis framework across the project lifecycle with Bayesian Networks (BNs). Design/methodology/approach The framework includes three phases. In the qualitative phase, primary risks were identified by literature reviews and interviews; questionnaires were used to determine key risks at each project stage and causal relationships between stage-related risks. In the quantitation, brainstorming and questionnaires, and techniques of ranked nodes/paths, risk map and Bayesian truth serum were adopted. Then, a BN-based risk assessment model was developed, and risk analysis was conducted with AgenaRisk software. Findings Twenty key risks across the lifecycle were determined: some risks were recurring and different risks emerged at various stages with the construction and feasibility most risky. Results showed that previous stages’ risks significantly amplified subsequent stages’ risks. Based on the causality of stage-related risks, a qualitative model was easily constructed. Ranked nodes/paths facilitated the quantification by requiring less statistical knowledge and fewer parameters than traditional BNs. As articulated by a case, this model yielded very simple and easy-to-understand representations of risks and risk propagation pathways. Originality/value Rare research has developed a BN risk assessment model from the perspective of project stages. A structured model, a propagation network among individual risks, stage-related risks, and the final adverse consequence, has been designed. This research provides practitioners with a realistic risk assessment approach and further understanding of dynamic and stage-related risks throughout large infrastructures’ lifecycle. The framework can be modified and used in other real-world risk analysis where risks are complex and develop in stages.

Abstract:

Objective To achieve sufficient velopharyngeal function and maxillary growth for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), the authors have designed a new treatment protocol for palate closure involving early two-stage palatoplasty with modified Furlow veloplasty. Details of the surgical protocol and the outcomes of the dental occlusion of patients at 4 years of age are presented. Design and Setting This was an institutional retrospective study. Patients Seventy-two UCLP patients were divided into two groups based on their treatment protocols: patients treated using the early two-stage palatoplasty protocol (ETS group; n = 30) and patients treated using Wardill-Kilner push-back palatoplasty performed at 1 year of age (PB group; n = 42). Interventions The features of the ETS protocol are as follows: The soft palate is repaired at 12 months of age using a modified Furlow technique. The residual cleft in the hard palate is closed at 18 months of age. Lip repair is carried out at 3 months of age with a modified Millard technique for all subjects. Results The ETS group showed a significantly better occlusal condition than the PB group. The incidence of normal occlusion at the noncleft side central incisor was 7.1% in the PB group; whereas, it was 66.7% in the ETS group. Conclusion The results indicate that the early two-stage protocol is advantageous for UCLP children in attaining better dental occlusion at 4 years of age.

Abstract:

Surgical management of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma can be performed in a single-stage procedure, with revision surgery necessary because of recurrent disease or electively with unsatisfactory hearing results. We retrospectively reviewed 164 cases with cholesteatoma surgically managed from 1980 through 1986. In total there were 11 tympanoplasties, 36 canal wall-up mastoidectomies, 81 canal wall down modified radical mastoidectomies, and 36 radical mastoidectomies. The recidivistic rate for cholesteatoma in patients available for 5-year followup was 11% for tympanoplasties, 19% for canal wall-up mastoidectomies, 5% for canal wall-down modified radical mastoidectomies, and 0% for radical mastoidectomies. Hearing results were best in patients who required tympanoplasty alone, followed by those who underwent canal wall-down procedures. Single-stage management of cholesteatoma with modified radical mastoidectomy (canal wall-down) required fewer revisions for recidivistic cholesteatoma and achieved better hearing results than canal wall-up procedures. We conclude, therefore, that staging is not necessary, improved hearing may likely be achieved with a second procedure, but this is at the patient's discretion.

Abstract:

Background and aims The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system is the most widely applied staging system for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is recommended for treatment allocation and prognostic prediction. The BCLC guidelines were modified in 2018 to indicate that Child-Pugh A without any ascites is essential for all stages except stage D. This study sought to provide a description of patients with HCC treated at a high-volume liver surgery center in Taiwan where referral is not needed and all treatment modalities are available and reimbursed by the National Health Insurance program. As such, certain variables that could modulate treatment decisions in clinical practice, including financial constraints, the availability of treatment procedures, and the expertise of the hospital, could be excluded. The study further sought to evaluate the adherence to the modified BCLC guidelines. Methods This was a retrospective study with prospectively collected data. 1801 consecutive patients with de novo HCC were enrolled through our institution from 2011–2017. Results There were 302 patients with stage 0, 783 with stage A, 242 with stage B, 358 with stage C, and 116 with stage D HCC. Treatment adhering to the modified BCLC guidelines recommendations was provided to 259 (85.8%) stage 0 patients, 606 (77.4%) stage A patients, 120 (49.6%) stage B patients, 93 (26.0%) stage C patients, and 83 (71.6%) stage D patients. Conclusions We reported treatment adhering to the modified BCLC guidelines at a high-volume liver surgery center in Taiwan. We found that non-adherence to the modified BCLC staging system was common in treating stage B and C patients.

Abstract:

The chemically modified polycarbosilane (PC) containing organofluoric groups, PCOCF, was synthesized through chemical reaction of PC and fluoric alcohol. Pyrolysis of the polymer precursor occurred in three stages under 1000 °C. Weight loss due to evaporation of low molecular compounds was observed at the first stage below 300 °C, followed by the largest weight loss from 300 to 600 °C at the second stage. At this stage, side chains formed during the chemical reaction were removed. Finally, side chains such as Si–CH3 decomposed at the third stage above 600 °C. At 1000 °C, the chemical modification of PC resulted in high yield of solid product. After coating PCOCF on silicon carbide (SiC) powders, the conversion yield of pyrolyzed PCOCF was further improved due to the interaction between PCOCF and SiC powders. Coating of PCOCF on SiC powders was found to be effective in increasing the green density of uniaxially pressed bodies.

Abstract:

This paper presents the comparison of performance characteristics for the several natural gas liquefaction cycles. The liquefaction cycle with the staged compression was designed and simulated for improving the cycle efficiency using HYSYS software. This includes a cascade cycle with a two-stage intercooler which is consisted of a Propane, Ethylene and Methane cycle. In addition, these cycles are compared with a modified staged compression process. The key parameters of the above cascade cycles were compared and analyzed. The COP (Coefficient of Performance) of the cascade cycle with a two-stage intercooler and a modified staged compression process is 13.7% and 29.7% higher than that of basic cycle. Also, the yield efficiency of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) improved compared with the basic cycle by 28.5%.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of chest computed tomography (CT) to predict the pathological stage of thymic epithelial tumours (TET) using the recently introduced tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) staging with comparison to the modified Masaoka staging. METHODS Preoperative chest CT examinations in cases of resected TET with sampled lymph nodes (2006–2016) were retrospectively reviewed by 2 thoracic radiologists and radiologically (r) staged using both staging systems. A thoracic pathologist reviewed all cases for the pathological (p) stage. Concordance between r-staging and p-staging was assessed by % agreement and unweighted kappa statistics. Associations between r-stage and p-stage with outcomes were assessed using the Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Sixty patients with TET were included (47 thymomas, 12 thymic carcinomas and 1 atypical carcinoid tumour). Sixteen patients (26.7%) had received neoadjuvant therapy. Fifty-four patients (90.0%) had complete resection. The overall agreement between the r-stage and p-stage was 66.7% (κ = 0.46) for TNM staging and 46.7% (κ = 0.30) for modified Masaoka staging. Agreement between r-assessment and p-assessment of the T, N and M components of the TNM stage was 61.7% (κ = 0.28), 86.7% (κ = 0.48) and 98.3% (κ = 0.88), respectively. CT overstaged 12 patients (20.0%) for TNM staging and 12 patients (20.0%) for modified Masaoka staging and understaged 8 (13.3%) and 20 (33.3%) patients for TNM staging modified Masaoka staging, respectively. The r-TNM staging accuracy was lower for patients with neoadjuvant therapy (50.0% with vs 72.7% without). During a median follow-up of 2.6 years (range 0.1–10.5 years), 12 patients had metastases and/or recurrence; 11 patients died (4 of disease). The r-TNM stage and modified Masaoka stage were associated with overall survival and progression-free survival (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative chest CT is able to accurately predict p-TNM stage in two-thirds of surgically resected TET, with an agreement between radiological staging and pathological staging superior to the modified Masaoka staging.

We aimed to determine whether the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) soft tissue sarcoma (STS) staging system is more accurate in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients and Methods Patients with uterine LMS who presented at our institution from 1982 to 2005 were staged retrospectively according to a modified FIGO staging system and the AJCC STS staging system. The predictive accuracy of the two staging systems was compared using concordance estimation. Results Two hundred nineteen patients had sufficient clinical and pathologic information to be staged under both systems; 132 patients were upstaged using the AJCC staging system, whereas only four were downstaged. Stage-specific PFS and OS rates for stages I, II, and III differed substantially between the two staging systems. In both systems, there was prognostic overlap between stages II and III. Thus, despite the marked stage-specific differences in 5-year PFS and OS rates for stages I, II, and III, both systems had similar concordance indices. Conclusion Estimates of stage-specific PFS and OS for uterine LMS were altered substantially when using the AJCC versus FIGO staging system. Adjuvant treatment strategies should be tested in patients at substantial risk for disease progression and death. Neither the FIGO nor AJCC staging system is ideal for identifying such patients, suggesting a need for a uterine LMS-specific staging system to better target patients for trials of adjuvant therapies.

Abstract:

Objectives To confirm the efficacy of one-stage tympanoplasty with mastoid obliteration and a tymapanoplasty by transcanal approach using ceramic prosthesis. Methods Our surgical procedure was performed on 163 patients with cholesteatoma and 545 patients with chronic otitis media in Shinkawa Clinic. The operative method was classified into 2 groups. We use one-stage tympanoplasty with mastoid obliteration, a canal wall down procedure for chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma and chronic otomastoiditis. On the other hand, we use a tympanoplasty by an endaural approach for chronic otitis media without chronic otomastoiditis. The ossicular chain was reconstructed using the ceramic ossicular prosthesis (P-type and T-type). We performed modified Type III tympanoplasty using the P-type ceramic when the superstructure of the stapes could be utilized, while we performed modified Type IV tympanoplasty using the T-type ceramic when the superstructure of the stapes could not be used. Results In chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma or chronic otomastoiditis, the success rate of modified Type III tympanoplasty using ceramic P type was 77.8%; on the contrary, that of modified Type IV tympanoplasty using ceramic T type was 70.6%. In chronic otitis media without chronic otomastoiditis, the success rate of modified Type III tympanoplasty using ceramic P-Type was 69.8%, while that of modified Type IV tympanoplasty using ceramic T was 69.1%. Conclusions Our results show that there are no significant differences of success rate between these 2 procedures. We confirmed that the use of ceramic implant was satisfactory for both one-stage tympanoplasty with mastoid obliteration and a tympanoplasty by an endaural approach.

Abstract:

This paper describes the application of filter sharpening method to the modified comb filter (MCF) in the case of decimation factor, which is product of two or more positive integers. It is shown that in the case of multistage decimation with MCF, filters in each stage are also MCF. Applying the sharpening to the decimation filter in the last stage provides very good results, with savings in the number of operations comparing to the case of sharpening of the complete filter. Direct-form FIR polyphase filter structure is proposed for the filters in each stage.
