Abstract: A block of a video frame can be encoded using inter-prediction, and the motion vector of the block can be encoded based on a motion vector reference of a merge candidate. Some video codecs allow a large range of temporal and spatial neighbors to be considered as potential merge candidates. It is not practical to perform motion compensation and rate-distortion optimization for all possible merge candidates. To address this concern, a hardware-efficient process can be implemented to rank and select merge candidates. A reference frame priority list is applied to select a subset of potential reference frame combinations. An efficient top-K sorting algorithm is applied to identify merge candidates for each reference frame combination and keep top merge candidates with highest weights. Motion compensation and rate-distortion optimization are performed on the top merge candidates only.

Abstract: An application of potassium ion (K+) channel blocker in preparation of drugs for treating liver fibrosis is provided, which relates to the field of medical technologies. The K+ channel blocker is sotalol, the sotalol is originally used as an antiarrhythmic drug in clinic and has a property of inhibiting K+ channels. Experiments show that sotalol can effectively inhibit liver fibrosis and reduce expression of fibrosis-related protein alpha-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA), specifically by regulating expression and/or function of autophagy and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) molecules to achieve inhibition of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) fibrosis, so as to provide a new drug choice for clinical treatment of the liver fibrosis.

Abstract: An ion channel blocker for treatment and/or prevention of hepatic fibrosis is provided. Based on the fact that the activation of hepatic stellate cells is an important link in anti-hepatic fibrosis, it is found that gliclazide has the effect of inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Further exploration reveals that gliclazide mainly inhibits the activation of hepatic stellate cells by inhibiting autophagy pathways, and thus the gliclazide can be used to prepare medicaments for treatment and/or prevention of hepatic fibrosis.
