Article Synopsis
- - The detection of lung nodules has risen significantly among petroleum workers in North China due to widespread low-dose CT (LDCT) screening, leading to an increase in confirmed early lung cancer cases and heightened concern over their lung cancer risk.
- - The study aimed to analyze LDCT screening data from 3,121 petroleum workers compared to 1,868 non-petroleum workers, focusing on identifying the imaging characteristics of early lung cancers and differences based on various demographic factors.
- - Findings revealed that 25.95% of petroleum workers had lung nodules, with certain demographics (older age, more females, and family history of malignancy) showing a higher prevalence of lung cancer, while factors like nodule size and density correlated with
Background: To determine the association of histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) and fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) with brain injuries in infants born to mothers with preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Methods: A total of 103 singleton infants born to mothers with preterm premature rupture of membranes were enrolled. The placental inflammation was confirmed by HCA, and FIRS was defined in fetuses with preterm labor and an elevation of the fetal plasma interleukin-6 concentration.
Objective: To explore the relationship between histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) and fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) and brain injury in preterm infants.
Methods: One hundred and three singleton infants with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) (gestation ages of less than 34 weeks) were enrolled. All the placentas were submitted for pathological evaluation.
Background: Aortic dissection (AD) is a serious, life-threatening disease. It is currently crucial for AD patients to be transferred to a specialised hospital in a safe and timely manner. For this reason, the search for clinical and imaging changes related to transportation risk is becoming increasingly important.

- Researchers aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of 64-slice CT volume-rendering technology for accurately measuring pleural effusion volumes, addressing the challenges in current measurement methods.
- The study involved comparing measured pleural fluid volumes in a thoracic model and in patients before and after drainage, finding no significant differences in accuracy.
- A linear regression model demonstrated a strong correlation (r = 0.91) between pleural effusion volume and its greatest depth, providing a basis for future measurements and analysis.
To provide a resource of sisal-specific expressed sequence data and facilitate this powerful approach in new gene research, the preparation of normalized cDNA libraries enriched with full-length sequences is necessary. Four libraries were produced with RNA pooled from Agave sisalana multiple tissues to increase efficiency of normalization and maximize the number of independent genes by SMART™ method and the duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). This procedure kept the proportion of full-length cDNAs in the subtracted/normalized libraries and dramatically enhanced the discovery of new genes.

Objective: To study the effects of modified Huopo Xialing Decoction (HXD) in treating patients of Pi-Wei dampness-heat syndrome (PWDHS) and its impact on epithelial cell apoptosis of tongue.
Methods: Fifty patients with PWDHD were randomized depending on their visiting sequence into two groups, the 30 patients in the treatment group treated with HXD and the 20 in the control group treated with Domperidone. The therapeutic course for both groups was 2 weeks.
Aim: To explore multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) virtual endoscopy (CTVE) in the detection of Vater's ampulla lesions.
Methods: In addition to 30 healthy volunteers, 18 cases of common bile duct stones, and 7 cases of ampullary carcinoma were scanned with MSCT including virtual endoscopy (VE) reconstruction. Patterns of the duodenal papilla were then observed, and its size was measured.
