Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is widely used to diagnose thyroid carcinoma (TC), though its accuracy in differentiating malignant nodules is limited. We identified TC-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and examined the impact of these genes, particularly SALL1, on immune escape mechanisms within TC cells.
Methods And Materials: DEG analysis was conducted on GSE65144 dataset to identify genes associated with TC.
Background And Objective: The measurement of portal venous pressure (PVP) has been extensively studied, primarily through indirect methods. However, the potential of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic PVP measurement as a direct method has been largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy, safety, and feasibility of this approach.

Materials And Methods: In the phantom experiment, 10 simulated lesions were punctured, once at each of two angles for each lesion, under the guidance of a telerobotic ultrasound system and ultrasound-guided freehand puncture. Student's t test was used to compare the two methods in terms of puncture accuracy, total operation duration, and puncture duration.

Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to be a valuable predictor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The aim of this study was to investigate the influencing factors of CIMT among adults in Central China.
Methods: A total of 2,578 participants who underwent physical examination in Henan Provincial People's Hospital between January 2018 and July 2018 were enrolled.
Background: Breast carcinoma (BC) threatens the physical and mental health of women worldwide, and early diagnosis is important for improving patient outcomes and ensuring successful treatment.
Purpose: This research mainly aims to compare and analyze the value of molybdenum target X-ray and high-frequency color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in the early diagnosis of BC.
Methods: First, 102 patients with suspected early-stage BC (ESBC) admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital were examined by molybdenum target X-ray and CDFI.
Aim: Effective biomarkers for estimating glioma prognosis are deficient. Canonically, caspase-3 acts as an "apoptosis executioner". However, its prognostic role in glioma and mechanistic effects on prognosis remain unclear.

This study aims to explore the feasibility of the application of a 5G-powered robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnostic system in an intensive care unit.
Methods: In this study, the robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnostic system MGIUS-R3 was used.
Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB), a transmembrane glycoprotein, has been reported to be involved in tumor progression, but its prognostic value for glioma and the mechanistic effects on glioma progression have not been clearly explored. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of GPNMB in glioma and the potential mechanisms of how GPNMB mediates glioma progression. Differentially expressed genes between the four highest and four lowest GPNMB expression samples in the GSE53733 dataset were first determined.
