Article Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of semi-quantitative parameters of thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for coronary artery disease (CAD). From January to December 2017, patients were enrolled who had undergone Tl-201 MPI and received cardiac catheterization for coronary artery disease within three months of MPI. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimal cutoff values of semi-quantitative parameters. A comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of these parameters based on different subgroupings was further performed. A total of 130 patients were enrolled for further analysis. Among the collected parameters, the stress total perfusion deficit (sTPD) had the highest value of the area under curve (0.813) under the optimal cutoff value of 3.5%, with a sensitivity and specificity of 73.5% and 74.5%, respectively ( = 0.0000), for the diagnosis of CAD. With further subgrouping analysis based on history of diabetes or dyslipidemia, the sensitivity and specificity showed similar results. Based on the currently collected data and image acquisition conditions, the sTPD parameter has a clinical role for the diagnosis of CAD with a cutoff value of 3.5%.

Background: This study aims to show the changes in the liver, lung, kidney, and heart in the liver ischemia-reperfusion model in rats and the effect of quercetin on these changes histopathologically and immunohistochemically.
Methods: Eighteen Sprague Dawley rats were classified into three groups: Group 1 sham, Group 2 ischemia-reperfusion (IR), Group 3 ischemia-reperfusion + quercetin (IR+Q). For three days, distilled water was given to Group 1, and quercetin was given to Group 3 via gavage.
Glycyrrhizic acid: novel potential protein targets.

To date, a large body of data has been accumulated on the biological activity of a low-toxic natural glycoside, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), but the mechanism of its action at the molecular level has not been fully studied. Expanding knowledge about the spectrum of cellular protein targets of GA contributes to understanding new features of pharmacodynamics. The aim of the work was the experimental identification of a tissue-specific spectrum of protein molecules interacting with GA in a model system.

Background: Accurate preoperative human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status assessment is crucial for guiding treatment selection, particularly with the emergence of anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for HER2-low breast cancer. However, current immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based classification is limited by spatial heterogeneity and sampling bias. Quantitative analysis of intra- and peri-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) on imaging may offer a non-invasive, objective, and reproducible approach to distinguish HER2-low breast cancer from other subtypes.

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) remains the preferred treatment for surgical accessible thrombus in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) can persist post-PTE. A retrospective single-center analysis of patients that underwent PTE between 2013 and 2023.

Background: In dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (DCE-T1WI) of breast lesions, type III time-intensity curves (TICs) are associated with malignant lesions, and type I TICs are associated with benign lesions, but the association of type II curves with the status of breast lesions remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the semi-quantitative parameters derived from DCE-T1WI in patients with type II TIC breast lesions and to develop a nomogram for the benign/malignant classification of lesions with type II TICs.
Methods: Data of patients with type II TIC breast lesions were retrospectively collected.
