Abstract
Only a decade ago, there were insufficient imaging options for the detection and local staging of prostate cancer. However, the introduction of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has advanced a much-needed tool for this scope of application. The possibilities and limitations of mpMRI have been well studied. Imaging must be acquired and evaluated using a standardized protocol (the latest version of Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System). Sensitivity has been shown to increase with higher grades and larger tumors, and while the detection rate on a per patient basis is relatively high, the per-lesion detection rate is far inferior. Various specialists have attempted to elevate the use of transrectal ultrasound, a tool frequently used by all urologists. Encouragement for this idea comes from a recently introduced system of high frequency transrectal ultrasound. The level of evidence supporting its use in the detection and staging of prostate cancer is not comparable with mpMRI yet, but initial prospective studies indicate good potential. The sensitivity of micro-ultrasound and mpMRI for clinically significant prostate cancer ranges from 94% to 100% and from 88% to 90%, respectively. Further areas of application, such as local staging for prostate and bladder cancer, are currently being evaluated. In summary, microultrasound presents a promising technology for further improving urological imaging and allows for the possibility of returning prostate cancer imaging to urologists. This review will summarize the current scientific basis for the use of micro-ultrasound in the detection of prostate cancer.

Abstract
Food safety become a hot issue currently with globalization of food trade and food supply chains. Chemical pollution, microbial contamination and adulteration in food have attracted more attention worldwide. Contamination with antibiotics, estrogens and heavy metals in water environment and soil environment have also turn into an enormous threat to food safety. Traditional small-scale, long-term detection technologies have been unable to meet the current needs. In the monitoring process, rapid, convenient, accurate analysis and detection technologies have become the future development trend. We critically synthesizing the current knowledge of various rapid detection technology, and briefly touched upon the problem which still exist in research process. The review showed that the application of novel materials promotes the development of rapid detection technology, high-throughput and portability would be popular study directions in the future. Of course, the ultimate aim of the research is how to industrialization these technologies and apply to the market.
