Abstract	Background: To evaluate the effect of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) quantitative parameters of cervical lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and its effect on the diagnostic performance and threshold of DECT in preoperatively identifying metastatic cervical LNs. Methods: A total of 479 LNs from 233 PTC patients were classified into four groups: HT+/LN+, HT+/LN-, HT-/LN + and HT-/LN - group. DECT quantitative parameters including iodine concentration (IC), normalized IC (NIC), effective atomic number (Z Results: The HT+/LN + group exhibited lower values of DECT parameters than the HT-/LN + group (all p < 0.05). Conversely, the HT+/LN - group exhibited higher values of DECT parameters than the HT-/LN - group (all p < 0.05). In the HT + group, if an AP-IC of 1.850 mg/mL was used as the threshold value, then the optimal diagnostic performance (area under the curve, 0.757; sensitivity, 69.4%; specificity, 71.0%) could be obtained. The optimal threshold value of AP-IC in the HT - group was 2.050 mg/mL. In contrast, in the HT - group, AP-NIC demonstrated the highest area under the curve of 0.988, when an optimal threshold of 0.243 was used. The optimal threshold value of AP-NIC was 0.188 in the HT + group. Conclusions: HT affected DECT quantitative parameters of LNs and subsequent the diagnostic thresholds. When using DECT to diagnose metastatic LNs in patients with PTC, whether HT is coexistent should be clarified considering the different diagnostic thresholds.

Abstract	The spherical cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with high purity were prepared, the processes included composite enzymolysis of pulp fibers and the purification of product. The impurities in the crude product CNCs were analyzed with FTIR, coomassie brilliant blue-G250 and ionic chromatography. The pure CNCs were characterized with SEM, XRD, DLS and TGA. The results indicated that the crude CNCs was flocculated and washed twice with a dilute acid solution (pH = 2) to get pure spherical CNCs, the purity was approximate 99.99%. The obtained pure spherical CNCs had a narrow particle size distribution with diameter 15-40 nm. FTIR and XRD analyses proved that the crystal phase of the spherical CNCs did not change, but the crystallinity decreased slightly compared with pulp fibers. The thermal degradation showed that the spherical CNCs had better thermal stability than one from other methods, and the temperature of maximum weight loss rate (T

Abstract	Climate change inevitably affects the geographical distribution of species on earth. Conifers, which are important components of forest tree species, are highly threatened and particularly sensitive to climate change. Approximately 23.6% (145/615 species) of the world’s conifers are native to China, among which 53 species are threatened. Thus, understanding the impact of climate change on the species richness and distribution of threatened conifers endemic to China (hereafter referred to as threatened conifers) is of great importance. Here, we investigated the habitat suitability under present climate conditions and predicted the impact of future climate change on these threatened conifers using species distribution modeling. Combined with the current natural reserve system, we evaluated the conservation effectiveness, determined the key conservation areas, and proposed suggestions for the future protection of these threatened conifers. Our results showed that the threatened conifers were mainly distributed in mountainous areas and climate variables played a major role in the distribution of these threatened conifers. We also found that the richness hotspots were predicted to shrink and move northward with a changing climate. The lowest elevation of threatened conifers predicted to contract their species range mainly occurred below 1000 m or above 2000 m, while most species whose lowest elevations ranged from 1000 to 2000 m were projected to expand their distribution areas under the future climate scenario. Therefore, different conservation measures should be taken for threatened conifers with different distribution patterns. The central Hengduan Mountains and the Western Sichuan Plateau were identified as “areas needing attention” and “areas worth exploring”, respectively, which should be given more attention in future field surveys and conservation efforts. This study highlighted the critical role of these threatened conifers as good indicators for measuring and proposing conservation strategies to minimize ...

Abstract	Objectives: To evaluate the performance of texture analysis (TA) of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in differentiating malignant from benign sinonasal lesions, and its added value to the conventional imaging features. Methods: Fifty-eight patients with malignant and 40 patients with benign sinonasal lesions were retrospectively enrolled. Conventional CT and MRI features were reviewed. Texture parameters were obtained and compared between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the most valuable variables. Receiver operating characteristic curves were performed to assess the differentiating performance of independent variables and their combination. Results: There were significant differences in tumor necrosis, bone erosion and soft tissue invasion between the two groups (all Conclusion: TA of DKI could supply incremental value to conventional imaging features for pre-operative differential diagnosis between benign and malignant sinonasal lesions. Advances in knowledge: The present study is the first to combine conventional imaging features and the TA of DKI in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant sinonasal lesions. Our findings suggest that TA of DKI could supply incremental value to conventional imaging features.

Abstract	Objective: To investigate whether truncal-type occlusion based on multiphase computed tomographic angiography (mpCTA) was more effective for predicting intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis-related occlusion (ICAS-O) than occlusion type based on single-phase computed tomographic angiography (spCTA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 72 patients with AIS-LVO in the MCA between January 2018 and December 2019. The occlusion types included truncal-type and branching-site occlusions. The association between ICAS-O and occlusion type based on the 2 computed tomographic angiography patterns was analyzed, and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for assessment. The areas under the curve were compared to determine the difference between the predictive powers of truncal-type occlusion based on mpCTA and spCTA. Results: Among the 72 patients, 16 were classified as having ICAS-O and 56 as having embolisms. In univariate analysis, truncal-type occlusion was significantly associated with ICAS-O ( P < 0.001 for mpCTA and P = 0.001 for spCTA). After multivariable analysis, truncal-type occlusion based on both mpCTA and spCTA remained independently associated with ICAS-O ( P = 0.002 for mpCTA and P = 0.029 for spCTA). The areas under the curve were 0.821 for mpCTA and 0.683 for spCTA; this difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.024). Conclusions: In patients with AIS-LVO in the MCA, truncal-type occlusion based on mpCTA enables more accurate detection of ICAS-O than that based on spCTA.

Abstract	Purpose: To investigate the spontaneous brain activity alterations in survivors of cardiac arrest (CA) with good neurological outcome using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) with amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) methods. Materials and methods: Thirteen CA survivors with favorable neurological outcomes and 13 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited and underwent rs-fMRI scans. The ALFF and ReHo methods were applied to assess the regional intensity and synchronization of spontaneous brain activity. Correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationships between the mean ALFF and ReHo values in significant clusters and clinical parameters. Results: The survivors of CA showed significantly decreased ALFF values in the left postcentral gyrus and precentral gyrus and increased ALFF values in the left hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus than HCs. Significantly decreased ReHo values were observed in the left inferior occipital gyrus and middle occipital gyrus in the patients. Mean ALFF values in the left hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus were positively correlated with the time to return of spontaneous circulation (r = 0.794, Conclusion: Functional activity alterations in the brain areas corresponding to known cognitive and physical impairments were observed in CA survivors with preserved neurological function. Our results could advance the understanding of the neurological mechanisms underlying the residual deficits in those patients.

Abstract	Purpose: To assess the interhemispheric homotopic connectivity alterations in patients with comitant exotropia (CE) before and after surgery, using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) with voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC). Methods: Thirty-four patients with CE and twenty-four well-matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled to undergo a preoperative rs-fMRI scan. The rs-fMRI scan was performed again in twenty-four patients 1 month after surgery. The VMHC method was applied to evaluate the group differences of interhemispheric functional connectivity. The correlations between VMHC values and clinical variables were analyzed in the patient group. Results: Compared with HCs, 34 patients with CE showed significantly increased VMHC values in occipital lobe (cuneus/superior occipital gyrus/middle occipital gyrus/calcarine), cerebellar area 8/cerebellar Crus1 area, and cerebellar Crus1 area. In CE group, VMHC in the cuneus was positively correlated with stereoacuity ( Conclusion: Our study revealed the interhemispheric homotopic connectivity changes of patients with CE in the occipital lobe and cerebellum before and after surgery. The findings may provide a new perspective for the neurological alterations of CE.
