Methods Seventy patients with clinical or pathological diagnosis of functioning pancreatic islet cell tumor between October 2003 and February 2007 were included in this retrospective study. Seventy-four enhanced MSCT scans in these patients were identified. All MSCT scans were interpreted by two experienced radiologists by consensus interpretation. Surgery and pathology reports were used to confirm the diagnosis, localization, and size of tumors. Results Totally, 73 functioning islet cell tumors including 65 benign insulinomas, 2 benign glucagonomas, 3 malignant insulinomas, and 3 malignant glucagonomas were pathologically diagnosed. Tumors in only two cases were not found by MSCT. In 67 benign lesions, 32 showed typical enhancement style, 21 showed prolonged enhancement in portal venous phase, 4 showed delayed enhancement, 4 had iso-dense enhancement with normal pancreatic parenchyma, 2 had no enhancement at all in arterial phase and portal venous phase, and 4 had inhomogeneous enhancement with necrosis or cyst-formation. Patchy or spotty calcifications were found in 3 of the 67 tumors. In 6 malignant islet cell tumors, vessel invasion （2/6） and bowel invasion （1/6） were seen. Different enhancement patterns were shown. All hepatic metastases showed hyper-enhancement during their arterial phase. Conelttsions Pancreatic islet cell tumor may display a wide spectrum of presentations in MSCT. Tumors with unusual appearances often present as diagnostic challenges. Non-contrast and post-contrast multiphase scans are recommended for the localization of functioning islet cell tumors.展开更多
In this paper,we report the synthesis and characterization of a wheel-shaped icosanuclear Cu-containing polyoxometalate(POM),K_(12)Li_(13)[Cu_(2)0Cl(OH)_(24)(H_(2)O)_(12)(P_(8)W_(48)O_(184))]·22H_(2)O(K_(12)Li_(1...In this paper,we report the synthesis and characterization of a wheel-shaped icosanuclear Cu-containing polyoxometalate(POM),K_(12)Li_(13)[Cu_(2)0Cl(OH)_(24)(H_(2)O)_(12)(P_(8)W_(48)O_(184))]·22H_(2)O(K_(12)Li_(13)-Cu_(2)0P_(8)W_(48)).The resulting cation-exchanged tetrabutylammonium salt of the polyoxoanion Cu_(2)0P_(8)W_(48)(TBA-Cu_(2)0P_(8)W_(48))exhibits high efficiency for visible-light-driven H_(2) production in the presence of an[Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)][PF_(6)]photosensitizer and a triethanolamine electron donor.Under optimal conditions,the turnover number for H_(2) production reaches~2892 after 5 h of photocatalysis and thereafter continuously increases to~13400 in a long-term 120 h reaction,representing the best performance among all reported transition-metal-substituted POM catalysts.Mechanistic studies confirm the existence of reductive and oxidative quenching processes,of which the reductive quenching pathway is dominant.Various stability tests demonstrate that the TBA-Cu_(2)0P_(8)W_(48) catalyst slowly dissociates Cu ions under turnover conditions;however,both the starting TBA-Cu_(2)0P_(8)W_(48) and its molecular decomposition products are dominant active species for efficient and long-term H_(2) production.展开更多

In this new approach, two plasma jets generated by high-intensity lasers collide headon-head. The center-of-mass energy of the nuclei increases accordingly, and therefore, reaction products can be significantly enhanced, especially in the sub-Coulomb barrier ranges. As a result of the fusion reaction, up to - 7.6 ×105 neutrons had been observed. This new type of ＂plasma collider＂ could provide an innovative tool to study nuclear reactions under astrophysical conditions.展开更多
