Building facade completion is an important part of digitizing the structures of buildings using computer technology. Due to the intricate textures and structures in building facade images, existing image-completion algorithms cannot accurately restore the rich texture and detailed information. In response, this paper proposes a novel network to simultaneously recover the texture and semantic structural features of building facades. By incorporating dynamic convolutions into each layer of the feature encoder, the shallow layers of the completion network can create a global receptive field, thus enhancing the model's feature-extraction capability. Additionally, a spatial attention branch is integrated into the dynamic convolution module to boost the correlation between the completion area and its surrounding edge area, resulting in improved edge clarity and accuracy of the completed facade image. Experimental results on multiple public image datasets demonstrate that the proposed model in this paper achieves state-of-the-art results when applied to real-world datasets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To analyze the efficacy of surgical resection versus brain biopsy combined with postoperative chemotherapy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and to discuss a clinically standardized treatment protocol., Material and Methods: Patients with a pathological diagnosis of PCNSL and subsequent chemotherapy between 2016 and 2021 at Northern Jiangsu People?s Hospital were selected and divided into groups according to whether they underwent microsurgical resection or stereotactic needle biopsy. Statistical analyses were performed to compare efficacy and safety in the two groups., Results: A total of 21 patients with PCNSL were identified, of whom 12 underwent resection and 9 underwent diagnostic stereotactic biopsy only. Compared with the resection group, the biopsy group had a higher proportion of deep tumors (55.6% vs. 8.3%, p=0.016), and the mean intraoperative bleeding was significantly reduced (13.33 ± 6.61 mL vs. 170.83 ± 101.04 ml, p < 0.001). In addition, the mean survival time of patients who died during the postoperative follow-up period was shorter (6.83 ± 1.60 vs. 18.56 ± 10.20 months, p=0.016), and the one-year survival rate was lower (33.3% vs. 83.3%, p=0.032). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the mean progression-free survival time or new functional impairment after surgery., Conclusion: For PCNSL, patients who undergo surgical resection have a better outcome than those who undergo biopsy only, suggesting that when the tumor is located at a surgically resectable site, surgical resection should be actively chosen; when the tumor is located at a deep and unresectable site, brain biopsy should be chosen.
