These are mainly applied in the maxillofacial region adjacent to the sites of dental treatment to achieve cosmetic benefits. However, as dentists typically lack sufficient knowledge about the golden thread lift procedure, it may present a challenge to dental examinations and treatments. It is therefore crucial for dentists to have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure. This case report covers our experience with the dental examination of a patient with golden threads. We emphasize the dental complications and precautions that should be taken for such cases. These golden threads are made of pure gold, nonabsorbable, and can be broken. These can obstruct dental examination, as well as cause metal allergies and foreign body granulomas. Additionally, it is difficult to completely remove these threads when they break apart. In the future, since more patients are expected to undergo this procedure, it is possible to encounter these golden threads as artifacts on imaging. Therefore, it is important to educate dentists about the golden thread lift procedure and its dental implications. It is also imperative to determine whether the patient has undergone the golden thread lift procedure in the medical questionnaire prior to the magnetic resonance imaging examination. Thus, dentists should be able to conduct a detailed interview with the patient, determine the feasibility of examination or treatment, and communicate this assessment to the patient.展开更多

Methods: Three typical forest stands (Chinese fir plantation, Cryptomeria fortunei plantation and evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest) in Golden Mountain Forest Farm in southwest Hubei Province were investigated and monitored continuously for the litter types and productivity and nutrient return. Results: The annual litter productivity of the three forest stands ranged from 161.77 to 396.26 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup>;Litters of branches, leaves and reproductive organs accounted for 14.14% - 20.85%, 33.26% - 78.33%, 7.52% - 42.18% of the total, respectively;The litter productivity and total litter productivity of each composition in the three forest stands show unimodal or bimodal changes over months, and the total litter productivity reached the highest value in January, April and October respectively. For different nutrient contents of the three forest stands, the common feature is C > N. The order of nutrient return amount from greatest to least is evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, Cryptomeria fortunei plantation and Chinese fir plantation. For different nutrient return amounts, the common feature is C > N, and the nutrient return amounts are 76.51-180.69 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup> and 2.3 - 5.71 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup> respectively. Conclusion: The annual litter productivity and nutrient return amount of the evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest are the highest among the three forest stands. Therefore, protecting the evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest and studying the litter changes of Chinese fir plantation and Cryptomeria fortunei plantation are of far-reaching significance for the development of sustainable forest management in this region and the further improvement of the carbon sequestration function of the whole forest ecosystem.展开更多

文摘Water is the key factor limiting dryland wheat grain yield.Mulching affects crop yield and yield components by affecting soil moisture.Further research is needed to determine the relationships between yield components and soil moisture with yield,and to identify the most important factor affecting grain yield under various mulching measures.A long-term 9-yearifeld experiment in the Loess Plateau of Northwest China was carried out with three treatments:no mulch (CK),plastic mulch (M_(P)) and straw mulch (M_(S)).Yield factors and soil moisture were measured,and the relationships between them were explored by correlation analysis,structural equation modeling and significance analysis.The results showed that compared with CK,the average grain yields of M_(P) and M_(S) increased by 13.0and 10.6%,respectively.The average annual grain yield of the M_(P) treatment was 134 kg ha^(–1) higher than the M_(S) treatment.There were no significant differences in yield components among the three treatments (P<0.05).Soil water storage of the M_(S) treatment was greater than the M_(P) treatment,although the differences were not statistically signifiant.Soil water storage during the summer fallow period (SWSSF) and soil water storage before sowing (SWSS) of M_(S) were significantly higher than in CK,which increased by 38.5 and 13.6%,respectively.The relationship between M_(P) and CK was not statistically significant for SWSSF,but the SWSS in M_(P) was significantly higher than in CK.In terms of soil water storage after harvest (SWSH) and water consumption in the growth period(ET),there were no signi?cant differences among the three treatments.Based on the three analysis methods,we found that spike number and ET were positively correlated with grain yield.However,the relative importance of spike number to yield was the greatest in the M_(P )and M_(S) treatments,while that of ET was the greatest in CK.Suifcient SWSSF could indirectly increase spike number and ET in the three treatments.Based on these results,mulch can improve yield and soil water storage.The most important factor affecting the grain yield of dryland wheat was spike number under mulching,and ET with CK.These findings may help us to understand the main factors influencing dryland wheat grain yield under mulching conditions compared to CK.

文摘Objective: The paper aims to analyze the dynamic characteristics of litter production and nutrient return of the forest ecosystems in subtropical areas, and provide a theoretical basis for the nutrient cycling study in southwest Hubei Province and carbon sink function of the whole forest ecosystem. Methods: Three typical forest stands (Chinese fir plantation, Cryptomeria fortunei plantation and evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest) in Golden Mountain Forest Farm in southwest Hubei Province were investigated and monitored continuously for the litter types and productivity and nutrient return. Results: The annual litter productivity of the three forest stands ranged from 161.77 to 396.26 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup>;Litters of branches, leaves and reproductive organs accounted for 14.14% - 20.85%, 33.26% - 78.33%, 7.52% - 42.18% of the total, respectively;The litter productivity and total litter productivity of each composition in the three forest stands show unimodal or bimodal changes over months, and the total litter productivity reached the highest value in January, April and October respectively. For different nutrient contents of the three forest stands, the common feature is C > N. The order of nutrient return amount from greatest to least is evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, Cryptomeria fortunei plantation and Chinese fir plantation. For different nutrient return amounts, the common feature is C > N, and the nutrient return amounts are 76.51-180.69 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup> and 2.3 - 5.71 kg·hm<sup>-2</sup> respectively. Conclusion: The annual litter productivity and nutrient return amount of the evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest are the highest among the three forest stands. Therefore, protecting the evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest and studying the litter changes of Chinese fir plantation and Cryptomeria fortunei plantation are of far-reaching significance for the development of sustainable forest management in this region and the further improvement of the carbon sequestration function of the whole forest ecosystem.

文摘Coronavirus disease(COVID-19)is a serious respiratory disease that spreads through the coronavirus globally.It soon became a pandemic after its appearance in 2019 and demanded new techniques for its identification and detection.Owing to this situation,RT-LAMP appears to be a novel method for the identification of COVID-19 because of its vast applications,including cost-effectiveness and time-saving.This research highlights the use of RT-LAMP,a more sensitive test than RT-PCR,for the assessment of SARS-CoV-2,the severe acute respiratory illness.To identify the spike(S)and NSP1 protein using RT-LAMP,170 total samples of coronavirus-suspected patients were served in this research.Health certifications and bioethical considerations were taken into consideration.After the sample was extracted from the patient's swabs,RNA was isolated,extracted,and purified.The response was then run on the RT-LAMP at the ideal temperature,and the outcomes could be observed with the unaided eye as they changed from pink to yellow.It is a simple method of determining if the test is positive or negative.For this purpose,both RT-LAMP and RT-PCR tests are used during these procedures.Genes linked with COVID-19 testing including S,nspl,and ORF are suited to coronavirus testing;they have 100%specificity and low sensitivity,but S has more specificity and sensitivity than nspl and ORF,respectively.Out of the 95 positive samples,89(93.68%)samples yielded favorable outcomes utilizing RT-LAMP,while 55 negative samples yielded 100%positive results.The present research demonstrates that RT-LAMP is less sensitive yet more selective for coronavirus detection.
