Purpose: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) is closely associated with disease recurrence. This study accessed the value of superb microvascular imaging (SMI) in the diagnosis and prediction of metastatic cervical LNs in patients with PTC.
Methods: A total of 183 cervical LNs (103 metastatic and 80 reactive) from 116 patients with PTC were analysed.
Article Synopsis
- The study tested a new type of silica sorbent bonded with perfluorobenzene for adsorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from hexane, showing it outperformed traditional sorbents like octadecyl and phenyl-bonded silica.
- The stronger interactions (π-hole···π bonds) between the sorbent and PAHs were identified as the reason for its superior performance compared to weaker interactions in other sorbents.
- This method allowed for efficient solid-phase extraction of PAHs from soil samples without needing solvent replacement, achieving recoveries of 75.1% to 104.6% with stable results and detection limits between 0.1 to 2 ng
