The purpose of this work was to evaluate cases of benign ovarian mature teratoma (MT) with enhancing solid components on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to correlate the MRI findings with the pathology reports. We retrospectively reviewed MRI findings and pathologic reports of 126 patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian MT. Enhancing solid components were observed in 24 (18.8%) of 128 benign MTs. The largest diameter ranged from 5.9 to 42.2 mm. The appearance was variable. Of 24 tumors, 19 (79.2%) had regular borders. On pathologic analysis, solid components of benign MTs were identified as glial tissue, thyroid tissue, fibrous stroma, or vessels.

The riverine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool constitutes the largest and most dynamic organic carbon reservoir within inland aquatic systems. Human activities significantly alter the distribution of organic matter (OM) in rivers, thereby affecting the availability of DOM. However, the impact of total suspended solids (TSS) on DOM under anthropogenic influence remains insufficiently elucidated.

Biofloc technology is an aquaculture production system that has gained popularity with tilapia production. Probiotics provide benefits for the host and/or aquatic environments by both regulating and modulating microbial communities and their metabolites. When a probiotic feed is combined with a biofloc system, the production amount may be improved through better fish growth, disease resistance, and/or improved water quality by reducing organic matter and stabilizing metrics such as pH and components of the nitrogen cycle.

Currently, the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) resources to unblock joints, strengthen bones, and enhance muscle function to regulate anti-osteogenic and anabolic metabolism and thus reshape intraosseous homeostasis was an effective way to alleviate OP. The F-E-D formula, comprising Fructus Psoraleae, Eucommia, and Drynariae Rhizoma, has shown efficacy in treating OP.

However, it is challenging to accommodate both the high-density solid-state proof mass and the highly elastic component simultaneously in a miniature sensor, which makes it difficult for the sensors to maintain comparable sensing performance at a miniaturized size. Here, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, liquid metal-based fiber optic accelerometer (LMFOA) is proposed for the first time to meet this requirement.

The cholangioblastic variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a distinctive neoplasm that typically affects young women without underlying liver disease. Morphologically, it demonstrates solid, trabecular, and tubulocystic architecture, biphasic small cell-large cell cytology, and immunoreactivity for inhibin, neuroendocrine markers, and biliary but not hepatocellular markers. In 2021, our group identified a characteristic NIPBL::NACC1 gene fusion in cholangioblastic cholangiocarcinoma, and since then ~20 genetically confirmed cases have been reported in the literature.
