  • Patent number: 12036423
    Abstract: A system that generates a three-dimensional model of a tissue surface, for example the inner surface of the heart from two-dimensional image data slices. On this surface, one or more pattern lines are drawn, e.g., by a physician using a user interface, to designate desired lesion(s) on the surface. From the pattern lines, a three-dimensional volume for a lesion can be determined using known constraints. Advantageously, the series of boundaries generated by the three-dimensional volume may be projected back onto the individual CT scans, which then may be transferred to a standard radiosurgical planning tool. A dose cloud may also be projected on the model to aid in evaluating a plan.

  • Publication number: 20240226011
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of medicines, and specifically, relates to a core-shell micelle microsphere, and a preparation method therefor and use thereof. The core-shell micelle microsphere of the present disclosure has an outer layer shell composed of an amphiphilic lipid, an inner layer shell formed by a hydrophilic chain polymer, and a drug molecule inner core wrapped by a copolymer with a net structure. A drug may be effectively transported through the two-layer shell structure, such that a loss of the drug in a transportation process is reduced, and a utilization rate of the drug is improved. A slow release of the drug is realized by using a wrapped drug molecule as the inner core.

  • Patent number: 12035324
    Abstract: This application provides a data sending method, a data sending apparatus, and a terminal device, to improve utilization of a configured grant resource. The method includes: A terminal device receives a configuration message from a network device. The configuration message is used to indicate a configured grant, and the configuration message includes information about a timer corresponding to the configured grant. The terminal device determines that the configured grant is used for a HARQ process, and starts the timer for the HARQ process. To-be-sent data in the HARQ process is data on a first logical channel. During running of the timer, when there is to-be-newly-transmitted data on a second logical channel, the timer stops running, or a running state of the timer is ignored.
