Acute lung injury (ALI), a progressive lung disease mostly caused by sepsis, is characterized by uncontrolled inflammatory responses, increased oxidative stress, pulmonary barrier dysfunction, and pulmonary edema. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a natural bile acid with various pharmacological properties and is extensively utilized in clinical settings for the management of hepatobiliary ailments. Nonetheless, the potential protective effects and mechanism of UDCA on sepsis-induced lung injuries remain unknown.

The present paper reviews the development in the field of hyperspectral imaging technology for nondestructive detection of fruit internal quality in recent years up to the year 2007. With the increasing maturity of hyperspectral imaging technology, decline of cost for its hardware and software, and improvement in hyperspectral image data processing algorithms, hyperspectral imaging technology for fruit quality nondestructive detection has become a hot research topic. In order to track the latest research developments at home and abroad, the fruit internal quality (maturity, firmness, soluble solid content, water content) detection with hyperspectral imaging was reviewed, which would provide reference for Chinese researchers.
