The Role of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Plus Color Parametric Imaging in the Differential Diagnosis of Subpleural Pulmonary Lesions.

Objectives: To distinguish benign and malignant subpleural pulmonary lesions (SPLs) with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and color parametric imaging (CPI), and evaluate the role of CEUS plus CPI in the differential diagnosis of pathological types of SPLs.

Methods: One hundred and thirty-six patients underwent CEUS with a Logiq E9 XD Clear ultrasonic machine equipped with a 3.5- to 5.

Effect of low-level laser therapy on orthodontic dental alignment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The aim of this study is to systematically summarize the available evidence regarding low-level laser therapy (LLLT) speed-up effect on dental alignment in comprehensive orthodontic treatment. An extensive electronic search was conducted in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus up to February 20, 2023. The Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Form were used by two authors independently to assess the risk of bias (RoB).

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation for patients with liver metastasis from pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Objective: To analyze the survival outcomes and prognostic factors of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma liver metastasis (PALM).

Methods: Between January 2010 and July 2021, 20 patients (13 males) with an average age of 58.9 ± 11.

[Effect of different orthodontic forces on the expression of T helper cell 17 cell-related cytokines in the pressure side of periodontal tissue in rats].

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the changes in the expression of the characteristic transcription factor retinoid related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and the cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17) of T helper cell 17 (Th17) in the pressure side of the periodontal tissue of rats under different orthodontic forces. Their effects on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the quantity of osteoclast (OC) were also explored. The role of Th17 cell in alveolar bone remodeling under different forces was preliminarily investigated.

Hydrophilic CuSe/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites with tunable plasmonic properties and their applications in cellular dark-field microscopic imaging.

A facile aqueous chemical approach is developed for one-pot synthesis of the nanocomposites of heavily doped semiconductor nanoparticles (CuSe NPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) at room temperature, wherein the reduction of GO and the in situ growth of CuSe NPs on rGO sheets occur simultaneously. The as-prepared CuSe/rGO nanocomposites exhibit a well-defined near-infrared (NIR) localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which arises from free carriers (holes) and could be tuned from 1360 to 1050 nm by varying the reaction time, owing to the increase of the free carrier density in the valence band of CuSe NPs. This approach not only offers an efficient strategy to synthesize the self-doped CuSe/rGO nanocomposites with strong and tunable NIR absorption, but also develops new light scattering nanoprobes with good biocompatibility as well as unique optical properties for in vitro cellular dark-field microscopic imaging (iDFM).

A simple rapid detection method of DNA based on ligation-mediated real-time fluorescence PCR.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been widely used for detecting long chain DNA or RNA of viruses, bacteria and cytokines, but it is difficult to detect DNA or RNA with short length sequences. In this work, we developed a simple and rapid detection method for short length DNA sequences in complicated matrices based on ligation-mediated PCR. Two probes, both designed as 52 bases and respectively partly complementary to the half-sequence of target DNA, could simultaneously hybridize to the target DNA, then to be ligated by T4 DNA ligase to form a long chain as PCR template for amplification.

[Embolization of high flow arteriovenous malformations with HepaSphere microspheres].

Objective: To determine the effect, safety, and feasibility of embolization of high flow arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with HepaSphere microspheres.

Methods: HepaSphere particles swell by absorbing fluids and become soft and deformable with a precisely calibrated diameter. 13 patients with AVMs were treated by transarterial embolization with HepaSphere particles.
