    Abstract Excessive fertilizer or unseasonable fertilization ways are common in rice-cultivated regions over world, and a consequence is an environmental adverse impact resulting from substantial nutrient losses. In order to evaluate the influence of fertilization ways on nutrient losses in flooding paddy field, this work investigated the dynamic of nutrient concentrations via a short-term experiment containing single- and split-application fertilizer during main fertilization period, in the Jiangshan city, Zhejiang, China. The ponded water nutrient concentrations from fertilization plots ranged widely over the experiment: 2.8–80.9 mg L⁻¹ for NH₄⁺-N, 0.2–3.7 mg L⁻¹ for NO₃⁻-N, 1.2–215.0 mg L⁻¹ for TN, 0.02–0.6 mg L⁻¹ for TP, and 0.5 to 48.8 mg L⁻¹ for TK, respectively. Applying mineral fertilizer increased immediately nutrient concentrations in ponded water and followed by a slow drop to a stead levels. The results showed a high-risk period of losses was within 3–5 days for N and 8–11 days for K following fertilization, respectively, if runoff occurred by rainstorm or drainage depending on fertilization ways. The losses risk of ponded water P after basal fertilization was negligible, but within 5 days after first topdressing was a potential pollution risk period. Compared to split fertilization, single fertilization can reduce losses risk via runoff by 66.3–67.5% for N and by 36.9–46.8% for K, respectively. However, in addition to rice yield reduction, the single application as basal fertilizer may enhance losses by NH₃ volatilization, which led to a high risk of air pollution, and decrease the pH of ponded water and further soil acidification as well. Hence, the results suggested that the fertilizer split-application containing panicle fertilizer can consider as an ecological fertilization way and is suitable for rice main production region which benefit for both economic and environment despite a little increase of labor costs.

    Abstract Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a highly aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The current prognosis with the first-line standard of care remains unsatisfactory, necessitating the exploration of more effective treatment options. We reported 5 cases of AITL receiving CMOP (mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone). Cases 1 and 2 initially received CHOP as first-line induction therapy but switched to CMOP due to inadequate efficacy and cardiac adverse events. Cases 3, 4, and 5 were newly diagnosed and received CMOP. All patients achieved complete remission with acceptable cardiotoxicities and hematologic toxicities. After study treatment discontinuation, Cases 1 and 3 underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, and Cases 4 and 5 received oral maintenance agents. At the last follow-up, 4 patients remained in remission and 1 (Case 2) exhibited tumor recurrence. CMOP showed promise as a potential treatment option for AITL patients. Further research is essential to identify its efficacy and safety.

    Abstract Microcystis is a well-known toxic cyanobacterium in eutrophic environments, and an increasing number of Microcystis blooms have emerged in salty reservoirs and coastal rivers. This study observed that many Microcystis were identified in a coastal river in June 2020. The relative abundance of Microcystis decreased from 81.2 to 10.2% in the sampling sites from a salinity of 0 (Sal. 0) to a salinity of 12 (Sal. 12). Hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) were identified in the coastal river and its estuary. Of the samples, those with a salinity of 5 (Sal. 5) had the highest concentration of MCs at 7.81 ± 0.67 μg L⁻¹. In a saline water simulation experiment, the results showed that salt inhibited Microcystis (M.) aeruginosa growth, enhanced the activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and stimulated microcystin production. Transcription analysis showed that the expression levels of the psaB and rbcL genes controlling photosymbiotic processes were downregulated, and capD and csaBgene-related polysaccharide productions were upregulated by salt incubation. Notably, metabolism analysis showed that the total polysaccharides, proteins and small molecular matter, such as sucrose, methionine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, in the Microcystis cells increased substantially to resist the extracellular hyperosmotic pressure caused by the high salinity levels in culture. These findings indicate that increased salt in a natural aquatic body shifts the phytoplankton community by influencing the physiological metabolism of cyanobacteria and poses a high risk of microcystin exposure during cyanobacterial blooms in coastal rivers.

    Abstract The coronavirus pandemic has revived interest in the effects of fiscal policy. This paper studies the effects of government spending on default risk in emerging economies. We first build a general equilibrium small open economy model where government spending shocks influence external debt and sovereign bond spreads. We show that external debt piles up and sovereign bond spreads increase following a government spending shock. We then develop VAR evidence based on a panel of 18 countries. We find that in response to a 10% government spending increase, (1) the real effective exchange rate appreciates by 1.0% and the current account to GDP ratio deteriorates by 0.0025 on impact; (2) external debt increases by an average of 3.5% in the year following the shock; and (3) the EMBI Global spread rises by an average of 25 basis points within two years and peaks at 132 basis points 14 quarters after the shock, suggesting a higher sovereign default risk. The empirical results confirm the theoretical predictions from the general equilibrium model.

    Abstract High-efficiency plasma skimming is hopeful to prevent hemolysis inside spiral groove bearings (SGBs) because it can exclude red blood cells from the ridge gap with a high shear force. However, no study reveals the shape design of SGBs to improve plasma skimming. Therefore, this study proposed and applied a groove design strategy to designing an optimal SGB for enhancing plasma skimming in a rotary blood pump (RBP). Initially, we proposed the design strategy that the shape of the groove for enhancing plasma skimming corresponds to the direction of blood flow in the ridge gap. Second, we visualized the cell flow in a specially designed experimental RBP to determine the direction of blood flow, which was helpful in the subsequent SGB design. Then, we created an SGB to provide superior plasma skimming and applied it to the experimental RBP. We evaluated the plasma skimming effect of SGB at rotational speeds ranging from 2400 to 3000 rpm and hematocrit conditions between 1% and 40%. At a 1% hematocrit, the plasma skimming efficiency for the entire SGB was greater than 95%. In all hematocrit conditions, the efficiency at the inner ridges of the SGB was greater than 80%. The results showed the designed SGB successfully induced excellent plasma skimming within ridge gaps. This study is the first to propose and apply a shape design strategy to generate excellent plasma skimming within an SGB. This study may contribute to the prevention of SGB hemolysis inside SGB for use in RBPs.

    Abstract Purpose: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ketamine in preventing propofol injection pain (PIP).
    Patients and methods: The electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from their inception until 2 August 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing ketamine with placebo or other interventions to alleviate PIP in adults were included. Fixed-effects or random-effects models were used to calculate pooled risk ratios (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on the heterogeneity of the studies included.
    Results: Thirteen RCTs involving 2105 patients were included. In terms of reducing the incidence of PIP, ketamine is more effective than placebo (RR = 0.43, 95% CI = [0.34, 0.55],
    Conclusion: A subanesthetic dose of ketamine can effectively and safely reduce the incidence of PIP and severe PIP in adults, and is more effective than lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and thiopental.

    Abstract Background: Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with adverse consequences among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it remains undetermined whether the impact of CKD and post-PCI AKI are similar. We aimed to discriminate between the impact of CKD and post-PCI AKI on short- and long-term outcomes.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1,100 patients undergoing PCI at a tertiary hospital. Based on baseline kidney function, patients were categorized as having preserved or impaired renal function, defining as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥ and < 45 ml/min/1.73 m
    Results: Post-PCI AKI was associated with an increased risk of 90-day mortality [odds ratio (OR): 22.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 10.36-46.88], long-term mortality [hazard ratio (HR): 6.63, 95% CI: 4.31-10.20], and composite endpoint of future end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and death (HR: 6.19, 95% CI: 4.06-9.42). Impaired kidney function at baseline was associated with an increased risk of future ESRD and composite endpoint of ESRD and death (for every 10 unit increase in eGFR, HR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.14-0.43, and HR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.82-0.97, respectively). The impact of post-PCI AKI outweighed that of impaired baseline renal function on short- and long-term prognosis. Patients with impaired baseline renal function who developed AKI following PCI had the worst prognosis.
    Conclusions: Both post-PCI AKI and CKD were associated with a poor prognosis. Post-PCI AKI was more important than baseline renal function to predict long-term mortality and composite outcomes. The systemic pathophysiologic change accompanying AKI, rather than renal function per se, may play a crucial role.

    Abstract Composting of agricultural wastes not only can reduce environmental pollution caused by improper disposal, but also can recycle agricultural wastes and transform them into highly valuable products, such as fertilizers or soil conditioners, for agricultural applications. However, the composting process and final product are easily affected by the limited oxygen supply that results from insufficient aeration, especially in the center of a large-scale windrow. Hence, a pilot-scale experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the turning frequency on the composting efficiency and compost quality of used pig manure and fungus residue. Physical and chemical characteristics were measured over the course of 63 days of composting. The data indicate that higher temperatures and more rapid moisture removal generally result from a turning treatment of once every 2-4 days than in fewer, or no, turning treatments. The total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium contents increased in all windrows as the organic matter content decreased, but both the increases and decrease were greater in windrows that were turned more frequently. The reduction of the organic matter mass by 53.7-66.0% for a turning of once every 2-8 days is significantly higher than that for the static windrow (39.1%). Although there is an increase in nitrogen mass loss with an increased turning frequency, lower nitrogen mass losses (12.7-25.7%) in all treatments were noted compared with previous studies. A final compost product with less moisture, less weight, higher nutrient content (N, P, and K), and greater stability was obtained in windrows with turning frequencies of once every 2-4 days, which is recommended when composting pig manure and fungus residue.
    Implications: Composting of agricultural wastes not only can reduce environmental pollution caused by improper disposal, but recycling of agricultural wastes transforms them into highly valuable products, such as fertilizers or soil conditioners, for agricultural applications. However, the composting process and final product are easily affected by the limited oxygen supply that results from insufficient aeration, especially in the center of a large-scale windrow. Hence, a pilot-scale experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the turning frequency on the composting efficiency and compost quality of used pig manure and fungus residue, so as to capture an operational technique suitable for the effective co-composting pig manure and edible fungi residue for a large-scale composting plant.
