Accurate preoperative evaluation of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is crucial for surgeons to make informed decisions regarding appropriate treatment strategies. However, it continues to pose a significant challenge for radiologists. The integration of computer-aided diagnosis utilizing deep learning technology emerges as a promising approach to enhance the prediction accuracy.

In order to explore the effects of long-term fertilization on soil extracellular enzyme activities and nutrient characteristics in a terrace on the Loess Plateau, we based our investigation on the long-term nutrient localization plot of Ansai Soil and Water Conservation Experimental Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences. We measured the soil physicochemical properties, microbial biomass, and extracellular enzyme activities of six fertilization treatments, which included no fertilization (CK); manure and nitrogen fertilization (MN); manure and phosphate fertilization (MP); manure, nitrogen, and phosphate fertilization (MNP); manure (M); and nitrogen and phosphate fertilization (NP).

In order to explore how water stress affects the stoichiometric characteristics in leaves, stems, very fine roots (0-1 mm), fine roots (1-2 mm) and thick roots (>2 mm) of three shrub species, we studied the effects of three water treatments [(75±5)%, (55±5)% and (35±5)% of field water capacity (FC)] on the stoichiometric characteristics of different organs of , and in a pot experiment. The results showed that there were significant differences in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contents, C:N, C:P and N:P of the same organ among the three species. With the intensification of drought stress, there was no significant change of C content in all organs of the three species.

Objective: To determine the efficacy of oral propranolol for the treatment of infantile subglottic hemangioma.
Methods: 17 children (13 females and 4 males) with a median age at onset of treatment of 5 months were included in this study. Propranolol was administered after the presence of subglottic hemangioma was confirmed by laryngoscopy and a CT scan of the trachea with contrast.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of nasal saline irrigation in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children and to assess whether nasal saline irrigation could be used as a complementary therapy for AR in children in combination with the intranasal corticosteroids (INS).
Method: In total, 61 children with AR were divided into three groups: the nasal irrigation, intranasal corticosteroid, and combined treatment groups. Symptoms and signs of AR and eosinophils (EOS) in the nasal secretions were evaluated after 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of treatment.
