Article Abstract

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been important for the environmental control of persistent organic pollutants for decades. Considering the potential risk of deterioration, degradation, and external pollution during transportation, the development of rapid and onsite detection of trace PAHs is in demand. Here, taking the advantage of high sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), we developed a shipboard instrument by combining a portable Raman instrument and a flow injection device, integrating the sample pretreatment and target detection step by step. The feasibility of the instrument was demonstrated by detecting trace benzo[a]pyrene from different water environments with the lowest detection concentration less than 1 µg/l. The reliable stability and repeatability indicate that in the case of emergency response, the developed flow injection analysis-SERS instrument is very promising for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of diverse organic pollutants other than PAHs in water environments.

Introduction: Benchtop and animal models have traditionally been used to study the propagation of Onyx Liquid Embolic Systems (Onyx) used in the treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM). However, such models are costly, do not provide sufficient detail to elucidate how variations in Onyx viscosity alter flow dynamics, and rely on some trial-and-error, resulting in elongated timelines for product development.

Objectives: The goal of this study was to leverage Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to predict the behavior of different Onyx formulations.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exclusively infects hepatocytes and produces large quantities of subviral particles containing its surface antigen (HBsAg). T cells play a central role in controlling HBV infection but can also mediate liver injury and contribute to disease progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate T-cell responses to eliminate the virus without causing immunopathology during acute HBV infection remain poorly defined.

Objective: To determine optimal CT perfusion (CTP) imaging parameters for evaluating the canine prostate and to assess the diagnostic utility of CTP combined with cytopathologic evaluation and B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) gene mutation testing in dogs with prostate adenocarcinoma.

Methods: For this study, 10 male dogs were enrolled, comprising 4 healthy Beagles and 6 client-owned dogs with suspected prostatic neoplasia. Computed tomography perfusion was performed in the healthy dogs using varied contrast agent doses and injection durations.
