The Added Value of ADC-based Nomogram in Assessing the Depth of Myometrial Invasion of Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma.

Rationale And Objectives: To explore the potential value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)-based nomogram models in preoperatively assessing the depth of myometrial invasion of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EEA).

Materials And Methods: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 210 EEA patients were retrospectively analyzed. ADC histogram metrics derive from the whole-tumor regions of interest.

Time-of-Flight Intracranial MRA at 3 T versus 5 T versus 7 T: Visualization of Distal Small Cerebral Arteries.

Background Three-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA) at 7 T has been reported to have high image quality for visualizing small perforating vessels. However, B inhomogeneity and more physiologic considerations limit its applications. Angiography at 5 T may provide another choice for intracranial vascular imaging.

Insights From a Large-Scale Whole-Genome Sequencing Study of Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, and Hypertension.

Background: The availability of whole-genome sequencing data in large studies has enabled the assessment of coding and noncoding variants across the allele frequency spectrum for their associations with blood pressure.

Methods: We conducted a multiancestry whole-genome sequencing analysis of blood pressure among 51 456 Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine and Centers for Common Disease Genomics program participants (stage-1). Stage-2 analyses leveraged array data from UK Biobank (N=383 145), Million Veteran Program (N=318 891), and Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (N=10 643) participants, along with whole-exome sequencing data from UK Biobank (N=199 631) participants.

Spatially Separated Bifunctional Cocatalysts Decorated on Hollow-Structured TiO for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation.

Efficient charge separation can promote photocatalysis of semiconductors. Herein, a hollow-structured TiO sphere decorated with spatially separated bifunctional cocatalysts was designed, which exhibited enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation. Ultrasmall-sized MO (M = Pd, Co, Ni, or Cu) nanoparticles (NPs) were first introduced into a zeolite via confinement synthesis, and then, hollow TiO was fabricated by using the zeolite as a sacrificial template forming MO@TiO.

Atrial Fibrillation Known Before or Detected After Stroke Share Similar Risk of Ischemic Stroke Recurrence and Death.

Background and Purpose- We aim to compare the risk of 1-year ischemic stroke recurrence and death for atrial fibrillation diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS), atrial fibrillation known before stroke (KAF), and sinus rhythm (SR). Methods- From June 2012 to January 2013, 19 604 patients with acute ischemic stroke were admitted to 219 urban hospitals in the China National Stroke Registry II. Based on heart rhythm assessed during admission, we classified patients as AFDAS, KAF, or SR.

Diagnostic Utility of Exome Sequencing for Kidney Disease.

Background: Exome sequencing is emerging as a first-line diagnostic method in some clinical disciplines, but its usefulness has yet to be examined for most constitutional disorders in adults, including chronic kidney disease, which affects more than 1 in 10 persons globally.

Methods: We conducted exome sequencing and diagnostic analysis in two cohorts totaling 3315 patients with chronic kidney disease. We assessed the diagnostic yield and, among the patients for whom detailed clinical data were available, the clinical implications of diagnostic and other medically relevant findings.

X-ray crystal structure and doping mechanism of bimetallic nanocluster AuCu(m-MBT) (x = 1-3).

A novel AuCu(m-MBT) (x = 1-3, m-MBT = 3-methylbenzenethiolate) nanocluster has been prepared. According to the X-ray single crystal diffractometer, the structure of AuCu(m-MBT) is similar to that of Au(SPhBu). The AuCu(m-MBT) nanocluster contains a face-centered cubic (FCC) M core, which is protected by 4 MS (M = Au/Cu) staple motifs and 12 bridging SR ligands.

Influence of disorder-to-order transition on lattice thermal expansion and oxide ion conductivity in (Ca(x)Gd(1-x))(2)(Zr(1-x)M(x))2O7 pyrochlore solid solutions.

The effect of simultaneous substitutions of Ca at A site and Nb or Ta at B site in pyrochlore-type solid solutions: (Ca(x)Gd(1-x))(2)(Zr(1-x)M(x))(2)O(7) (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.

[Effect of shensongyangxin capsule on myocardial remodeling and ventricular fibrillation threshold value in rat with coronary artery ligation].

Objective: To study the effect of shensongyangxin capsule on myocardial remodeling and ventricular fibrillation characteristics in rat with coronary artery ligation.

Method: Twenty-three male rats were randomly divided into sham-group (n = 5), model group (n = 6), anmiodarone group (n = 6) and shensongyangxin capsule group (n = 6). Drugs were administrated after modeling of 2 days, lasting four weeks.

[Characteristics of CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from winter-fallowed paddy fields in hilly area of South China].

With closed static chamber and modified gas chromatograph (HP5890 II), the in situ measurements were made on the CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from winter-fallowed paddy fields in the hilly area of South China. Gas samples were taken simultaneously from the fields with and without rice stubble. The results showed that both of the fields had the peak value of CO2 flux in the late afternoon.
