Resilience evaluation of low-carbon supply chain based on improved matter-element extension model.

How to evaluate the resilience level and change trend of supply chain is an important research direction in current supply chain management practice. This paper proposes a new method of supply chain resilience assessment based on hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) and matter element extension theory. Firstly, based on the research status quo at home and abroad, a low-carbon enterprise supply chain resilience assessment index system is established, which includes six first-level indicators and corresponding 21 second-level indicators of product supply resilience, resource resilience, partner resilience, information response resilience, financial resilience and knowledge resilience.

[Diagnostic value of CT for head and neck pilomatricoma].

Objective: To evaluate the CT and pathological features of head and neck pilomatricoma.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the CT findings of 13 patients with head and neck pilomatricoma which were pathologically confirmed. Of them 7 patients received plain CT, 2 patients received contrast-enhancement, and 4 patients received plain CT plus contrast-enhancement.

Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Manifestations in the Brain of Wilson's Disease Patients.

Purpose: It is well known that patients with Wilson's disease (WD) suffer copper metabolism disorder. However, recent studies point to an additional iron metabolism disorder in WD patients. The purpose of our study was to examine susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) manifestations of WD in the brains of WD patients.

Activated macrophage-like synoviocytes are resistant to endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in antigen-induced arthritis.

Objective: To explore the characteristic expression of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress protein in antigen-induced arthritis models and the role of ER stress in arthritis.

Methods: Effective animal models of rheumatoid arthritis in rabbits and rats were induced by methylated bovine serum albumin and Freund's complete adjuvant. Pathological changes were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and histological analysis.

Serial imaging changes of cerebral Whipple's disease: from onset to the end.

A case with multiple cerebral Whipple disease is reported. The neuroradiological evolution from multiple macrophagic encephalitis to diffuse cerebral infarct in this case is described.
