We reviewed the records and statistics of 560 patients hospitalized with hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) over a 5-year period. One hundred and forty-one patients (26%) had …

This paper describes a general method to drastically improve the dispersity of oleic acid
stabilized nanoparticles in aqueous solutions. We use oleic acid stabilized monodisperse …

Purpose To investigate the usefulness of computed tomographic (CT) spectral imaging
parameters in differentiating small (≤3 cm) hepatic hemangioma (HH) from small hepatocellular …

In assessing adult human liver histology, questions remain concerning the normal number
of portal tracts and bile ducts in a liver biopsy. We therefore reviewed liver biopsies obtained …

This paper describes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in a continuous flow tubular
microreactor using silver pentafluoropropionate as a single-phase reactant precursor. This …

We describe a direct synthetic method for preparing narrowly dispersed silver nanoparticles
without using size-selection processes by thermal reduction of silver trifluoroacetate in …

The disk–pad brake used in an automobile is divided into two parts: the disk, geometrically
axisymmetric; and the pad, of which the geometry is three-dimensional. Using a two-…

Ninety-seven cases of pyogenic liver abscesses in a 4-yr period were studied: 27.8%(27
cases) were associated with biliary tract stone, 5.2%(five cases) were associated with biliary …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to select the optimal monochromatic level for gemstone
spectral imaging (GSI) to minimize both the image noise and beam-hardening artifacts (…

Ordered mesoporous carbon materials (OMCs) were synthesized with the use of citric acid
as an environmentally friendly catalyst to catalyze the polymerization of resorcinol/…
