[Distribution and Biotoxicity of Endogenous Pollutants in sp. Biochar from Different Polluted Areas].

Due to the wide sources of biomass raw materials and the lack of limits for the endogenous pollutants in biochar and their dosage, some biochar with high endogenous pollutants may be used for environmental remediation, which results in potential environmental risks. In this study, three biochars were prepared from the straws of sp. grown in clean, moderately polluted and highly polluted soils, respectively.

Aroma-active compounds in jinhua ham produced with different fermentation periods.

The aroma-active compounds in Jinhua ham processed and stored for 9, 12, 15 and 18 months were extracted by dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). In GC-O-MS, volatile compounds were identified based on their mass spectrum, linear retention index (LRI), odor properties, or reference compound comparisons. The results showed that a total number of 81 aroma-active compounds were identified by GC-O-MS.

Chest X-ray and CT findings of early H7N9 avian influenza cases.

Background: The H7N9 strain of bird flu is a new type of avian flu that was identified at the end of March 2013. The disease is concerning because most patients have become severely ill.

Purpose: To study the X-ray and computed tomography (CT) findings of early H7N9 avian influenza cases.

Endovascular embolization is applicable for large and giant intracranial aneurysms: experience in one center with long-term angiographic follow-up.

Background: Endovascular treatment of large and giant intracranial aneurysms and long-term results of angiographic follow-up of these aneurysms treated endovascularly are not known currently.

Purpose: To investigate the outcome of endovascular treatment of large and giant aneurysms and the long-term angiographic follow-up results.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients with endovascular treatment of large and giant aneurysms between 1998 and 2009 was performed.

High-resolution magnetic resonance angiography of digital arteries in SSc patients on 3 Tesla: preliminary study.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the use of high-resolution three-dimensional time of flight (3D TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 3 Tesla in the visualization of digital arteries in SSc patients.

Methods: A total of 33 patients with SSc [32 females and 1 male; mean (s.d.

Accurate magnetic resonance imaging of atherosclerotic plaques: change future strategies for the diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerotic disease.

In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been developed to image atherosclerosis and is emerging as a useful tool to assess the burden of atherosclerosis, whereas the potential influence on the diagnosis and therapy of atherosclerotic disease have not been fully determined. MRI allows for three-dimensional evaluation of vascular structures and outstanding depiction of various components of the atherosclerotic plaque. The self-contained intravascular MRI probe appears to hold promise in the identification of high-risk coronary and peripheral atherosclerotic lesions.
