Landscape and prognostic values of lymphocytes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transarterial embolization.

Transarterial embolization, the first-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma, does not always lead to promising outcomes in all patients. A better understanding of how the immune lymphocyte changes after transarterial embolization might be the key to improve the efficacy of transarterial embolization. However, there are few studies evaluating immune lymphocytes in transarterial embolization patients.

Pressure-Induced Phase Transition in Weyl Semimetallic WTe.

Tungsten ditelluride (WTe ) is a semimetal with orthorhombic T phase that possesses some unique properties such as Weyl semimetal states, pressure-induced superconductivity, and giant magnetoresistance. Here, the high-pressure properties of WTe single crystals are investigated by Raman microspectroscopy and ab initio calculations. WTe shows strong plane-parallel/plane-vertical vibrational anisotropy, stemming from its intrinsic Raman tensor.
