Features of simple inflammation markers in assessing the plaque vulnerability in patients with acute coronary syndrome by A. N. Kovalskaya, G. R. Bikbaeva, D. V. Duplyakov, E. V. Savinova

“…The MHR was higher (p=0,024) in the presence of PC (0,61 (0,48; 0,86)) than without it (0,46 (0,35; 0,63)). No significant differences were found for other indicators. When conducting the ROC analysis in patients with PC, the threshold level of HDL-C was 0,98 (AUC: 0,76, Sensitivity 66,7%, Specificity 77,4%), the threshold level of HDL-C in the presence of low-density area simultaneously with PC was also 0,98 (AUC: 0,83, Sensitivity 75%, Specificity 75,7%).Conclusion. …”

Quantitative characterization of permeability heterogeneity of tight-sand reservoirs using nano-CT technology: A case study of the Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin by Junlong Liu, Xiangchun Zhang

“…In this study, a low-permeability sandstone sample and two tight sandstone samples collected from the Ordos Basin were nondestructively tested using high-resolution nano-CT technology to quantitively characterize their microscopic pore throat structures and model them three-dimensionally (in 3D) based on CT threshold differences and gray models. A thorough analysis and comparison reveal that the three samples exhibit a certain positive correlation between their porosity and permeability but the most important factor affecting both porosity and permeability is the microscopic pore throat structure. …”
