Objective: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of real-time 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of multifocal liver cancer.
Methods: A total of 76 lesions in 26 patients with multifocal liver cancer who underwent 3.
The terrain effect on atmospheric environment is poorly understood in particular for the polluted region with underlying complex topography. Therefore, this study targeted the Sichuan Basin (SCB), a deep basin with severe PM pollution enclosed by the eastern Tibetan Plateau (TP), Yunnan-Guizhou Plateaus (YGP) and mountains over Southwest China, and we investigated the terrain effect on seasonal PM distribution and the meteorological mechanism based on the WRF-Chem simulation with stuffing the basin topography. It is characterized that the three-dimensional distribution of topography-induced PM concentrations over the SCB with the seasonal shift of regional PM averages from approximately 30 μg m in summer to 90 μg m in winter at surface layer and from summertime 10 μg m to wintertime 30 μg m in the lower free troposphere.

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SS for myocardial injury and salvage assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI patients.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study consecutively enrolled STEMI patients who had undergone primary PCI within 12 h from symptom onset.
