Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on using CT imaging to diagnose stage IA ovarian cancer early, as most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, helping improve survival rates.
  • - Researchers analyzed clinical and CT data from 23 patients with stage I ovarian cancer and borderline tumors between 2013 and 2021, examining features like tumor size, structure, and presence of fluid or lymph node involvement.
  • - Key CT features found in stage IA ovarian cancer were large tumor size, cystic solid structure, and enhancement of tumor components, with no significant differences observed between stage IA and IC tumors in tumor structure.

A simple and convenient preparation method has been developed for polymeric crown ethers containing the dibenzo-18-crown-6 subunit and electrospun composite nanofibers composed of polymeric crown ethers with polystyrene (PCE-PS). Furthermore, this composite nanofiber was used as a sorbent for selective extraction of plasma catecholamines, viz. dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (E).

In the present paper, the structural, morphological and optical properties of PbI2 thick films prepared by close-spaced sublimation technique were investigated. It was found that the thickness of PbI2 films decreased from 1 000 μm to 220 μm with the increase in the sublimation source temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the thick films are polycrystalline hexagonal structure with preferred growth orientation of (002) plane, and their grain size, dislocation density and growth stress are closely related to the source temperature.

Four new steroidal saponins, anguiviosides III (1), XI (2), XV (3), and XVI (4), were isolated and characterized from the fruits of Solanum anguivi. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The occurrence of the cholestane glycosides 3 and 4 is considered from a biogenetic point of view.
