Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at using special computer techniques on CT scans to help doctors figure out if patients have pheochromocytoma (PHEO) or lipid-poor adrenal adenoma (LPA).
  • Researchers used data from 332 patients and made different models to see which one worked best at predicting these conditions based on CT scan images.
  • The results showed that the models using CT scans worked really well, with scores close to perfect, and models using enhanced scans were slightly better, but not by much.

In this paper, potential energy curves of Λ- and Ω states of SBr are reported for the first time, and the spectrum data of some low excited bound states are obtained. The differences in the spectrum properties of main-group molecules and SBr were compared and analyzed, providing a sufficient theoretical basis for the subsequent study of main-group molecules. The avoided crossing that occurs in the Ω state is analyzed, and finally it is concluded that this phenomenon mainly occurs in the energy region between 20,000 and 40,000 cm that is relative to the minimum energy value.

For the first time, the spectroscopy and transition properties of SeCl are systematically reported. The potential energy curves of 22 Λ - states and the corresponding 51 Ω states in the first and second dissociation channels of SeCl are calculated using the internally contracted multiconfiguration interaction and Davidson correction method. The phenomenon of avoided crossing in Ω states below 30,000 cm is discussed in detail.

Article Synopsis
  • Systematic calculations are performed on spectroscopy data for TeCl ions, covering transition data between low excited states.
  • The study calculates potential energy curves for 22 Λ-S states and 51 Ω states using advanced methods, and identifies key details of avoided crossings in Ω states within specific energy ranges.
  • Calculated results include Franck-Condon factors, Einstein coefficients, and spontaneous radiative lifetimes, ultimately suggesting that direct laser cooling of TeCl ions may not be practical.

Objective: To establish a radiomics signature and a nomogram model based on enhanced CT images to predict the Ki-67 index of lung cancer.

Methods: From January 2014 to December 2018, 282 patients with lung cancer who had undergone enhanced CT scans and Ki-67 examination within 2 weeks were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. The clinical data of the patients were collected, such as age, sex, smoking history, maximum tumor diameter and serum tumor markers.

Fungal infections have become crucial factors that threaten the prognosis and survival of blood disease patients. Here, we aim to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and early and advanced CT (computed tomography) manifestations of patients with invasive pulmonary fungal infections secondary to blood system diseases. 65 hospitalized patients from October 2018 to October 2020 with invasive pulmonary fungal infections secondary to blood diseases were enrolled.

In the present study, the risk factors for systemic air embolism as a complication of percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy were explored. Data from 2,026 percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy procedures were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were divided into a concurrent air embolism group and a control group, depending on whether air embolism occurred during the puncture process.

Objective: This study aimed to observe the value of computed tomography (CT) spectral imaging parameters in the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules, during the contrast-enhanced early phase and late phase.

Materials And Methods: This study was approved by the institutional review board and written informed consent was obtained from all patients. One hundred thirty-nine patients with solitary pulmonary nodules proved by pathology underwent double-phase enhanced CT scan using gemstone spectral imaging mode on a Discovery CT750 HD, and were divided into an active inflammatory group (43 cases), a malignant group (65 cases), and a tuberculosis group (31 cases).

The aim of this study was to compare and analyze the site-specific accuracy of mixture of lipiodol and methylene blue (MLM) (0.6 ml, 1:5) and pure methylene blue (0.5 ml) on the rabbit lungs.

Article Synopsis
  • Early diagnosis of lung cancer is essential for improving treatment outcomes, and this study reviews the effectiveness of chest CT scans in distinguishing between malignant and benign solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).
  • The systematic review analyzed 32 studies, revealing that chest CT scanning has a high sensitivity (89%) but moderate specificity (70%) for diagnosing SPNs, indicating it correctly identifies many true cases while having some false positives.
  • Based on the findings, the authors suggest using chest CT scans as the first step in evaluating SPNs due to their relatively low cost and increasing availability.

We focused on investigating the propagation characteristics of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in SAW-based single-electron-transport (SAW/SET) devices. SAW/SET devices operating in the gigahertz frequency range were fabricated on a GaAs/Al(x)Ga(1-x)As heterostructure. The transmittance and reflection performances of SAW/SET devices were obtained via the electrical measurement.

A series of cycloadducts--pyrazoles via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of generated nitrilimines with N-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)maleimide were described. The novel compounds synthesized were characterized by (1)H NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. The fungicidal tests showed that most of the title compounds exhibit significant fungicidal activities against Corynespora cassiicola.

A series of cyclopropanecarboxamide were prepared and tested for antifungal activity in vivo. The preliminary bioassays indicated that some compounds are comparable to the commercial fungicides. To further explore the comprehensive structure-activity relationship on the basis of fungicidal activity data, comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed, and a statistically reliable model with good predictive power (r(2)=0.

A series of N,N'-diacylhydrazines were prepared and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, MS and FTICR-MS. They were tested radical-scavenging activity in vitro. The preliminary bioassays of title compounds showed that two compounds had excellent radical-scavenging activity comparable with vitamin C, while the activity is highly relative to the substituents.
