    Abstract The physiological mechanism and ecological structure of forest trees can change with the changes of years. In a certain extent, the changes were expressed through the canopy spectral features. The mastery of changing rules about spectral characteristics of trees over the years is benefit to remote sensing interpretation and provide scientific basis for the classification of different trees. The study adopted high-resolution spectrometer to measure the canopy spectral characteristics for seven major deciduous trees and seven evergreen trees to gain the spectrum curve of four different ages and calculate the first derivative curve. The analysis of changing rules about spectral characteristics of different deciduous trees and evergreen trees and the comparison of changes about spectrum of various trees in the visible and infrared band could find the best year and best band for identification of trees. The results showed that the canopy spectral reflectance of deciduous and evergreen trees increases with the increase of age. And the spectral changes of two species were most obvious in the near infrared band.

    Abstract Coastal water pollution is an important environmental problem now days. Hizikia fusiforme is cultivated in coastal water, being considered as a healthy food. However, little information exists concerning on this species responses to copper stress conditions. Experiments were conducted to distinguish biological adsorption and biological accumulation of H. fusiforme in regard to copper stress; it was determined the long-term stress with lower concentrations of copper (0.25 mg/L and 0.50 mg/L) and short-term stress with higher concentrations of copper (1.5 mg/L and 3.0 mg/L) on H. fusiforme. Results suggested that H. fusiforme has different response to various copper stresses; lower concentration stress could significantly enhance the growth of H. fusiforme, while H. fusiforme growth was inhibited and mitigated injured by 0.25-0.50 mg/L copper stress. Under the highest stress, H. fusiforme was extremely harmed, the biomass loss was significant and dry weight/fresh weight was also significantly decreased. Results suggested that lower and higher concentrations of copper stress have different impacts on H. fusiforme; the biological adsorption amount is lower than that of biological accumulation amount under low copper stress conditions, but the biological adsorption amount is much higher under high concentration copper stress. A better understanding of H. fusiforme responses to heavy metal stress should bring more data about its physiological adaptation mechanism under such conditions.

    Abstract The sphincter of Oddi (SO) plays an important role in regulating the bile flow into the duodenum. This study was designed to investigate the effect of Chinese Medicinal Herbs Muh-Shiang-Bin-Lang-Wan (MSBLW) and their mechanism of action on regulating the motility of SO in rabbits. The activity of SO in anesthetized rabbits was measured by using a continuously perfused open-tip manometric method. The rabbits were administered with different doses of MSBLW through naso-gastric tubes. The SO motility before and after the administration of MSBLW were recorded, and analyzed with a computer equipped with an off line analysis software. The results showed that the SO activity, in terms of tonic pressure and phasic contraction pressure, were significantly changed. A significant lower tonic pressure and a higher phasic contraction pressure were noticed 40-60 min after administration of MSBLW with a peak response at 0.5-1.0 gm range. The responses were blocked by pretreatment of muscarinic receptors (M1) antagonist, pirenzepine (10 mg/kg, orally). We conclude that MSBLW is effective in increasing the SO motility in rabbits through activation of M1 muscarinic receptors. However, potential application of MSBLW in the treatment of human biliary disorders needs further evaluation.

    Abstract Background: Theory of mind (ToM), the ability to infer others' mental state, is essential for social interaction among human beings. It has been widely reported that both cognitive (inference of knowledge) and affective (inference of emotion) components of ToM are disrupted in Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous studies usually focused on the involvement of the prefrontal cortex.
    Objective: This study investigated the causal role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a key hub of the fronto-basal ganglia loops, in ToM.
    Methods: Thirty-four patients with idiopathic PD (15 women, aged 62.2 ± 8.3 years) completed a Yoni task with deep brain stimulation (DBS) ON and OFF. The Yoni task was designed to separate the cognitive and affective components of ToM. Volumes of tissue activated (VTA) were computed for three subregions of the STN.
    Results: DBS showed insignificant effects on ToM inference costs at the group level, which may be due to the large interindividual variability. The associative VTA correlated with the cognitive inference cost change but not the affective inference cost change. Patients with greater associative STN stimulation infer more slowly on cognitive ToM. Stimulating associative STN can adversely affect cognitive ToM in PD patients, especially in patients with a wide range of stimulation (≥0.157) or cognitive decline (Montreal Cognitive Assessment < 26).
    Conclusions: The associative STN plays a causal role in cognitive ToM in patients with PD. However, stimulating the associative STN likely impairs cognitive ToM and potentially leads to social interaction deficits in PD. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to determine the occurrence rate of malalignment of tibial prosthesis and explore the influencing factors.
    Methods: 296 patients from Southern China who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were selected as the research objects. Their general demographic data were recorded. The tibial bowing angle (TBA), tibial length, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), tibial plateau shift angle (TPSA), tibial bone loss, lateral distal tibial angle, and overall width of tibial plateau and widths of medial and lateral tibial plateau were measured before TKA. The tibial component coronal alignment angle (TCCA) was measured after the operation. Malalignment of the tibial prosthesis was defined as TCCA <87° or TCCA >93°. Tibial bowing was indicated by TBA >2°, and lateral bowing was recorded as +. The correlations of TCCA with demographic data and pre-operation imaging measurement parameters were statistically analyzed.
    Results: Bivariate correlation analysis revealed negative correlations between TCCA and TBA (r = -0.602, P < 0.001) and TPSA (r = -0.304, P < 0.001), and a positive correlation with MPTA (r = -0.318, P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant negative correlation between TCCA and TBA (P < 0.001). The occurrence rate of malalignment of tibial prosthesis was 12.37 %. The occurrence rates of malalignment were 22.54 % in the tibial bowing group and 6.87 % in the non-tibial bowing group, showing statistical differences (P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The malalignment rate of tibial prosthesis among Southern Chinese patients is relatively high, possibly attributed to the tibial anatomy anomalies, particularly the tibial bowing. The entry point should be determined based on tibial morphology.

    Abstract Outcomes for patients with breast cancer have improved over time due to increased screening and the availability of more effective therapies. It is important to recognize that breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease that requires treatment based on molecular characteristics. Early endpoints such as pathologic complete response correlate with event-free survival, allowing the opportunity to consider de-escalation of certain cancer treatments to avoid overtreatment. This article discusses clinical trials of tailoring treatment (eg, I-SPY2) and screening (eg, WISDOM) to individual patients based on their unique risk features.
