Article Synopsis
  • CT hepatic arteriography (CTHA) is very effective at detecting colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) but struggles with specificity for small, incidental lesions due to pseudolesions and ambiguous imaging signatures.
  • A study involving 22 patients highlighted the identification of incidental ring-hyperenhancing liver micronodules (RHLMs) during CTHA, revealing that 41.7% of CTHA images contained these nodules, with many subsequently confirmed as CLMs.
  • The research suggests that RHLMs detected in CTHA may serve as an early indicator for small CLMs, which could help in improving the accuracy of liver ablation procedures.

Our group recently reported that cultured sheep pulmonary artery endothelial cells (SPAECs) became resistant to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis several days after constitutive synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) after adenoviral (Ad) transfer of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) or exposure to the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) (E.
