This study was to explore whether the combination of MSCT enhancement scan and alpha-fetoprotein （AFP） level ficiency for sHCC. could increase the diagnostic ef- METHODS： This study included 35 sHCC patients and 52 cir- rhotic patients without image evidence of HCC as a control group. The diagnoses were made by three radiologists em- ploying a 5-point rating scale, with postoperative pathologic results as the gold standard. Receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diag- nostic value of the three MSCT combination modes （arterial phase＋portal-venous phase, arterial phase＋delayed phase, arterial phase＋portal-venous phase＋delayed phase） and AFP levels for sHCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. RESULTS： The area under ROC curve （AUC）, sensitivity, and specificity of the combination of arterial phase＋portal- venous phase＋delayed phase were 0.93, 93%, and 82%, respectively. The average AUC of the arterial phase＋portal- venous phase＋delayed phase combination was significantly greater than that of the arterial phase＋portal-venous phase （AUC=0.84, P=0.01） and arterial phase＋delayed phase （AUC=0.85, P=0.03）. Arterial phase＋portal-venous phase had a smaller AUC （0.84） than arterial phase＋delayed phase （0.85）, but the difference was insignificant （P=0.15）. After combining MSCT enhancement scan with AFP, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.95, 94%, and 83%, respectively, indicating a greatly increased diagnostic efficiency for sHCC. CONCLUSIONS： The combination of AFP and 3 phases MSCT enhancement scan could increase the diagnostic efficiency for sHCC on the background of liver cirrhosis. The application of ROC curve analysis has provided a new method and reference in HCC diagnosis.展开更多

Average-Atom-Model was employed to calculate valence electron structure of TiAl intermetallics containing site substitution elements. On this basis, the boundary condition of electron movement was employed in the improved Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) theory to decide the continuity of the electron density of the lamellar colonies interface and it is found that ofγ/α2 interface is continuous(Δρ<10%). Furthermore, it is found that adding alloying elements (including Nb, Cr, and V) can improve the electron density (ρ) ofγ/α2 interfaces, and decrease the electron density difference(Δρ)ofγ/α2 interfaces. Adding V element decreasingΔρis more remarkable than other site substitution elements. According to electron structure study ofγ/α2 interfaces in Ti-47Al-2M alloys, the added elements improve mechanical properties of the alloy in the following order: V>Cr>Nb.展开更多

This is a new method for the asymmetric synthesis of alpha-amino acids. The influences of catalyst, temperature, substrates, and organic solvents on the chemical yield and optical purities of products were studied.展开更多
