Objective: We aimed to investigate the value of quantitative parameters derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (DCE-US) and a combination of these quantitative parameters with the LR-M classification criteria in distinguishing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) nodules and non-HCC malignancies.

Methods: HCC and non-HCC malignant nodules were grouped using pathologic results, and each nodule was classified using CEUS LI-RADS 2017. Quantitative CEUS analysis of each nodule was performed using VueBox, and quantitative parameters were compared between the HCC and non-HCC groups.

Objective: To explore the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) for the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS).

Methods: We included 220 liver nodules at high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from January 2019 to October 2021. Visual interpretation and DCE-US-based quantitative categories using VueBox® software were compared for consistency, nodule enhancement intensity, and washout onset following the contrast-enhanced ultrasound LI-RADS.

Background: A shelf-life that is too short is the main problem with strawberries. Nano-TiO can catalyze and oxidize ethylene under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation to eliminate its ripening effect on fruits and prolong the freshness period.

Results: In this work, nano-TiO modified by methacryloxy propyl trimethoxyl silane (KH570) was blended with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to prepare modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and the influence of TiO content on films was analyzed before and after UV treatment.
