METHODS The manifestations of nonpathologic perfusion defects with CTAP and non pathologic enhancement found in CTHA were analyzed in 50 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma. RESULTS The false positive rate of perfusion defects detected in CTAP was 15 1%. The shapes of perfusion defects were peripheral wedge, small, round, and patchy. The occurrence rate of non pathologic enhancement found in CTHA was 22 0%. The shapes of non pathologic enhancement were small, round, irregular, and wedge. CONCLUSION There was a high frequency of non pathologic perfusion defects detected with CTAP and non pathologic enhancement found in CTHA. The simultaneous use of both procedures may help decrease the false positive rate, and increase the veracity of diagnosis for hepatocellular carcinoma.展开更多

However, there is a large divergence of fast electrons when they are generated by an intense short-pulse laser interacting with a foil target. We design a nanowire array target to achieve a more compact point X-ray source. Fast electrons are confined and guided by the nanowire array structure in order to generate a Kα source with a small spot size. In our work, the smallest measured source size is comparable to the laser spot size, while the conversion efficiency can reach 2.4 ×10^-4.展开更多

After thin slide scanning and localization with Somatom DR H computed tomography, pulmonary nodules were biopsied with a 20 Gauge needle guided by a ruler specially designed. Biopsy materials were used for cyto and histopathologic examinations. The diagnosis accuracy of biopsy was evaluated by the result of postoperative pathology and/or follow up for 2 years. Sixteen pulmonary lesions were proved to be malignant and 8 were benign. The sensitivity was 75.0% (12/16), speciti vity 100% (8/8) and accuracy 83.3% (20/24) according to cytopathology and 87.5% (14/16), 100% (8/8), 91.7% (22/24) by histopathology, respectively. Two cases of early stage peripheral lung cancer were detected and proved by operation. CT guided PTFNAB is safe and quick for diagnosis with high accuracy for small peripheral pulmonary lesions which are usually negative in sputum examination and bronchoscopy. PTFNAB should be routinely used in the diagnosis of lung neoplasms.展开更多

Structural analysis has shown that conversion from tetragonal to orthorhombic phases, reduction of nonsuperconducting phase and preferential rearrangement of crystal grains are all favorable to the improvement of superconductivity in the YBaCuO film supported by YSZ substrate by proton beam bombardment.展开更多

In order to optimize the conversion efficiency enhancement on titanium foils, the experiment is conducted under a variety of laser-driven intensity conditions. The X-ray emission intensity at 4.7 keV is measured and compared with prediction. The experimental result demonstrates that the solid Ti target laser-produced plasma （LPP） source has X-ray emission at 4.7 keV, which are all generated from electronic transitions in Ti ions at pulse width of 2.1 ns or 30 ps, the crudely evaluated He-α X-ray intensity appears to slightly increase with laser intensity enhancement, and the pre- pulse effect increases the conversion efficiency of the He-α X-ray. In addition, a 90-μm-thick Ti foil as a filter is used to transmit He-α X-ray at near 4.7 keV, creating a quasi-monochromatic transmission and greatly reducing the lower- and higher-energy background.展开更多

In order to investigate the effect of wool fibers surface modification on the functional erdurance of nano finishinp wool fibers, in this paper, for the first time wool fibers were chemically modified by using NaClO aqueous and KMnO4 aqueous, and then chemically modified wool fibers and native wool fibers were treated using nano ZnO finishing agent, respectively. The launderability of wool fibers treated by nano finishing agent was investigated. The experimental results show that the chemically modified wool fibers have a good launderaility after being treated by nano ZnO finishing agent treating. The surface morphologies of wool fibers were observed by using SEM. It is got that there is a strong adbesion between nano ZnO and wool surface through XPS analysis.展开更多

Background Pathologic, angiographic, and intracoronary ultrasound studies revealed sharp differences in the plaque morphology between patients with acute versus chronic coronary syndromes. Whether there are different patterns of coronary artery calcification in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and in those with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, remains unclear. Methods Two hundred and sixty - four patients, including 67 with SAP, 94 with UAP and 103 with AMI were studied with electron beam computed tomography for analysis of coronary artery calcification and with selective coronary angiography for determination of atherosclerotic lesions. CAC prevalence and calcium score were compared among three groups, and relation of CAC to the severity of atherosclerotic disease in the SAP and UAP patients was separately analyzed. Results Prevalence of CAC was 100 % in the SAP patients, significantly higher than the 87. 23 % in UAP patients and 86. 41 % among the patients with AMI ( P < 0. 05) . More patients and arteries in the SAP group had severe forms of calcium than those in the UAP and AMI group ( P < 0. 01), and the mean LN [CS + 1] (natural logarithm transformation of calcium score) of the SAP patients was much greater than that of the UAP and AMI patients (P < 0.001). The distribution of vessels with various CAC by luminal stenosis was different between SAP and UAP patients. The average CAC extent of the infarct - related arteries was less severe than that of the noninfarct - related arteries. Conclusions U-tilizing electron beam computed tomography, we demonstrated that there exist different patterns of coronary artery calcification in patients with acute versus chronic coronary syndromes, which may provide insight into the differences observed in the clinical and pathologic development between these two types of coronary artery disease.展开更多
