Study on the Key Influential Factors on Water Huff-n-Puff in Ultralow-Permeability Reservoir by Xiaoyan Wang, Kun Xie, Jie Zhang, Yong Zhang, Yang Zhang, Wei Wang, Xi Yan, Fengxiang Zhao

“…The results show that imbibition and energy supplement are main mechanisms of water huff-n-puff; imbibition oil recovery is influenced by rock wettability, permeability, boundary condition, fracture length, water injection speed, and imbibition solution type; the stronger the water-wet reservoir rock is, the bigger the core permeability is, the longer the fracture length is, the larger the contacting area between imbibition solution and rock is, the stronger the ability of imbibition solution to change wettability, and to reduce the interfacial tension force between oil and water is, the better effect of water huff-n-puff is. …”

Comparison of Gensini score and SYNTAX score for predicting in-stent restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease and drug-eluting stent implantation by Min-Tao Gai, Shi-Qi Yan, Ming-yuan Wang, Amanguli Ruze, Ling Zhao, Qiu-Lin Li, Bang-Hao Zhao, An-Xia Deng, Su Hu, Xiao-Ming Gao

“…Furthermore, Gensini score [AUC 95%CI: 0.81 (0.78–0.84)] and SYNTAX score [AUC 95%CI: 0.76 (0.72–0.79)] showed a moderate ability to predict ISR. The predictors were further verified in a cohort validation study, which confirmed that the Gensini score was a better predictor for ISR than SYNTAX score, with an AUC and 95%CI of 0.67 (0.60–0.73) and 0.53 (0.46–0.60), respectively. …”
