Purpose: A meta-analysis was conducted to determine the proportion of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System category M (LR-M) in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and non-HCC malignancies and to investigate the frequency of individual CEUS LR-M imaging features.Methods: The MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched from January 1, 2016 to July 23, 2020 for studies reporting the proportion of CEUS LR-M in HCC and non-HCC malignancies. The meta-analytic pooled proportions of HCC and non-HCC malignancies in the CEUS LR-M category were calculated. The meta-analytic frequencies of CEUS LR-M imaging features in nonHCC malignancies were also determined. Risk of bias and applicability were evaluated using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool.Results: Twelve studies reporting the diagnostic performance of the CEUS LR-M category were identified, as well as seven studies reporting the frequencies of individual CEUS LR-M imaging features. The pooled proportions of HCC and non-HCC malignancies in the CEUS LR-M category were 54% (95% confidence interval [CI], 44% to 65%) and 40% (95% CI, 28% to 53%), respectively. The pooled frequencies of individual CEUS LR-M imaging features in non-HCC malignancies were 30% (95% CI, 17% to 45%) for rim arterial phase hyperenhancement, 79% (95% CI, 66% to 90%) for early (

False oath in Korea is stipulated under the title called“the fault of false oath and obfuscation in art. 152 ff which areregulated in the tenth section of the Penal Code. As it is notcompulsory that the crime of false oath may occur when an abstractthreat appears, which the false statement will affect the judiciary inits function. False oath constitute a crime serious that could renderthe whole criminal justice system formalistic. The awareness aboutproblematic of false oath in Korea is therefore noticeable after a taskof setting the negotiation concentration has a political core task in thediscussion of the legal reformation. It has to be expected that falseoath is diminished by the strengthening of the judicial reform andnegotiation concentration., Der Meineid in Korea ist unter dem Titel„Schuld von Meineid und Verdunkelung“ im 10. Kapitel desStrafgesetzbuchs Art. 152 ff. bestimmt. Weil keine Verletzungerforderlich ist, kommt der Meineid zustande, wenn eine abstrakte Gefährdung erscheint, dass die Falschaussage die Justiz in seinerFunktion beeinträchtigen wird. Das Meineidsdelikt ist ein schweresDelikt, das das ganze Strafjustizsystem formalistisch machen könnte.Das Problembewusstsein vom Meineidsdelikt in Korea ist daheraufgefallen, nachdem eine Aufgabe von der Festsetzung derVerhandlungskonzentration eine politische Kernaufgabe in denDiskussionsverlauf der Justizreformation aufgetreten ist. Es ist zuerwarten, dass der Meineid durch Verstärkung der Justizreformationund der Verhandlungskonzentration vermindert wird.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a reprecipitation method. Hydrothermal processing applied external pressure to the pristine P3HT NPs at temperatures ranging from 60 to 150 °C. Optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra for the hydrothermally treated P3HT NPs varied markedly with the processing temperature. With increasing treatment temperature, the absorption peak broadened and the peak position shifted from 510 to 623 nm; moreover, the intensity ratio of the 0–1 to 0–0 emission varied. These changes were caused by interactions between the P3HT main chains and alkyl side groups and conformational modifications induced by the high pressure during the hydrothermal process. The evolution of the optical absorption spectra of the P3HT NPs during the hydrothermal processing was strongly correlated with the variation of PL excitation spectra and with the PL emission spectra of a single NP.
