    Abstract Peritoneum is a common metastatic site of colorectal cancer and has worse prognosis compared with other metastatic sites. Peritoneal metastasis was previously considered as a terminal state of the disease, and palliative treatment with systemic chemotherapy was the main treatment method. With the gradual acceptance of the cytoreductive surgery (CRS) + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment model by surgeons and the application of targeted and immunotherapeutic drugs, the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis has been greatly improved. However, the diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal metastasis still face many challenges and controversies. Based on the evolution of the understanding of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis, the possible mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis are discussed, including the theory of "oligometastases" and the theory of "seed and soil". Besides, we further investigate the diagnosis and treatment strategies of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis and the facing challenges, including the limitations of imaging examination, the controversy of laparoscopic exploration, the difficulty in assessing peritoneal metastatic load, the limited means of postoperative recurrence monitoring and efficacy evaluation, and the significant variation in the diagnosis and treatment level among different regions of China. Meanwhile, we emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary perioperative management of CRS+HIPEC, and propose that the basic and clinical transformation research of peritoneal metastasis should be strengthened, and the promotion of standardized diagnosis and treatment of peritoneal metastasis is the key to improve the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis.

    Abstract The prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer is poor. At present, the comprehensive treatment system based on cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has significantly improved the survival of these patients. However, CRS and HIPEC have strict indications, high procedural difficulty, and high morbidity and mortality. If CRS+HIPEC is performed in an inexperienced center, overall survival and quality of life of patients may bo compromised. The establishment of specialized diagnosis and treatment centers can provide a guarantee for standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we first introduced the necessity of establishing a colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis treatment center and the construction situation of the diagnosis and treatment center for peritoneal surface malignancies at home and abroad. Then we focused on introducing our construction experience of the colorectal peritoneal metastasis treatment center, and emphasized that the construction of the center must be done well in two aspects: firstly, the clinical optimization should be realized and the specialization of the whole workflow should be strengthened; secondly, we should ensure the quality of patient care and the rights, well-being and health of every patient.

    Abstract This study integrates water footprint theory, fuzzy chance-constrained programming (FCCP) and fractional programming (FP) into a general optimization framework to help seek the optimal crop planting patterns for the agricultural water management (AWM) system. The modeling framework can not only address the system objective as output-input ratios and tackles uncertainties by using fuzzy sets, but also help support the cleaner production of crops by controlling the portion of green, blue and grey water footprint. It also considers the efficiency of system’s economic water productivity, water footprint components control, water-food nexus, balance of crop trade benefit and water footprint loss of trading crops. This framework is applied to agricultural water planning and management in Hai River Basin, China. The study results indicated that more rice, sorghum and millet are desired in the central districts, the south-central districts and almost all districts, while wheat and maize need to be reduced over most districts. This optimal crop planting pattern (under γ=0.75) would reduce blue and grey water in the central and southeastern, and almost all districts, respectively, improve the basin’s economic water productivity by 139%, and increase the trade benefit by 0.35 × 10⁹ $ and reduce the total water footprint loss by 1.38 × 10⁹ m³. When the credibility level increased from 0.55 to 0.95, the optimal economic water productivity would decrease from 0.1280 to 0.1127 $/m³ associated with decreasing grey and blue water footprints, increasing trade benefit and decreasing footprint loss. It appeared that a higher credibility level would lead to a stricter control requirement for the fuzzy chance constrains and a greater drag on searching a better objective. Thus, the proposed modelling framework could help obtain a series of crop planting patterns under various credibility levels and ensure to optimize the water footprint of crop planting and trading under uncertainties.

    Abstract To improve the convergence of multiple-site weather generators (SWGs) based on the brute force algorithm (MBFA), a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to search the overall optimal correlation matrix. Precipitation series from weather generators are used as input to the hydrological model, the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT), to generate runoff over the Red Deer watershed, Canada for further runoff analysis. The results indicate that the SWAT model using SWG-generated data accurately represents the mean monthly streamflow for most of the months. The multi-site generators were capable of better representing the monthly streamflow variability, which was notably underestimated by the single-site version. In terms of extreme flows, the proposed method reproduced the observed extreme flow with smaller bias than MBFA, while the single-site generator significantly underestimated the annual maximum flows due to its poor capability in addressing partial precipitation correlations.

    Abstract This study explored an integrated framework to assess the effectiveness of adaptation measures on the water productivity (WP) of the agricultural water management (AWM) system in the Huai river basin of China considering climate change impact. The adaptation measures include optimization of cropping pattern (OCP) and upgradation of irrigation techniques (UIT). The delta change method was used to downscale the climate variables from RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 of general circulation models (GCMs) during 2021-2050, the water footprint theory was used to estimate the spatial distribution of blue water to calculate the WP, and the nonlinear optimization model was used to seek optimal cropping pattern aiming at maximizing the system's WP. The changes in WP due to climate change and adaptation measures (e.g. combinations of OCP and UIT) were compared. Results indicated that WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be 4.56% and 6.51% lower than those under the benchmark scenario, respectively. The mitigation rates to the negative impact of climate change on WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be (1) 3.05% and 3.37% for the combination of spay irrigation technique and OCP, and (2) 4.34% and 4.59% for the combination of drip irrigation technique and OCP, respectively. It was revealed that the combination of drip irrigation and cropping pattern optimization could largely offset the adverse effect from climate change on WP under RCP4.5. Under such a scenario, the total plant areas of wheat and maize would reduce over the basin and so would the net export of crops in the basin; this would lead to a decrease in the crop trade benefit of 7.07 × 10

    Abstract Drought has become one of the most serious meteorological disasters for agricultural production in many areas around the world, and the situation could be worse under the impact of climate change. To facilitate better adaptation planning, this study proposed a drought assessment framework integrating downscaling method, drought index, copula technique, and bivariate frequency analysis, and applied it to investigate the change of the drought characteristics and drought risks from the past to the future in Huang-Huai-Hai River basin (HRB), North China. Drought was firstly defined by standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) based on 1497 observed grid data from 1979 to 2004. Then, we constructed the joint distribution of drought duration and severity based on copulas to detect and quantify the drought risks. To address the effect of climate change, similar calculation process was applied to the future climate data, which was downscaled using delta change method from representative concentration pathway (RCP 8.5) of 12 general circulation models (GCMs). The study results suggested that, under climate change condition, most irrigation districts over HRB would generally experience lower frequency of drought events but with extended duration; some districts would have more serious drought, but majority would experience similar or even lower level of severity. In light of the mean joint occurrence probability, the irrigation district at the south part of Huai River basin would likely experience the highest increase of drought risks in near future (by 0.86%) and distant future (by 0.76%), while most of other districts over HRB would face low risk of serious drought risks. The obtained results offer useful information to agricultural managers or water resources authorities who are interested in the development of effective long-term adaptation strategies for drought management.

    Abstract A fuzzy parameterized probabilistic analysis (FPPA) method was developed in this study to assess risks associated with environmental pollution-control problems. FPPA integrated environmental transport modeling, fuzzy transformation, probabilistic risk assessment, fuzzy risk quantification into a general risk assessment framework, and was capable of handling uncertainties expressed as fuzzy-parameterized stochastic distributions. The proposed method was applied to two environmental pollution problems, with one being about the point-source pollution in a river system with uncertain water quality parameters and the other being concerned with groundwater contaminant plume from waste landfill site with poorly known contaminant physical properties. The study results indicated that the complex uncertain features had significant impacts on modeling and risk-assessment outputs; the degree of impacts of modeling parameters were highly dependent on the level of imprecision of these parameters. The results also implied that FPPA was capable of addressing vagueness or imprecision associated with probabilistic risk evaluation, and help generate risk outputs that could be elucidated under different possibilistic levels. The proposed method could be used by environmental managers to evaluate trade-offs involving risks and costs, as well as identify management solutions that sufficiently hedge against dual uncertainties.

    Abstract A Gini-coefficient based stochastic optimization (GBSO) model was developed by integrating the hydrological model, water balance model, Gini coefficient and chance-constrained programming (CCP) into a general multi-objective optimization modeling framework for supporting water resources allocation at a watershed scale. The framework was advantageous in reflecting the conflicting equity and benefit objectives for water allocation, maintaining the water balance of watershed, and dealing with system uncertainties. GBSO was solved by the non-dominated sorting Genetic Algorithms-II (NSGA-II), after the parameter uncertainties of the hydrological model have been quantified into the probability distribution of runoff as the inputs of CCP model, and the chance constraints were converted to the corresponding deterministic versions. The proposed model was applied to identify the Pareto optimal water allocation schemes in the Lake Dianchi watershed, China. The optimal Pareto-front results reflected the tradeoff between system benefit (αSB) and Gini coefficient (αG) under different significance levels (i.e. q) and different drought scenarios, which reveals the conflicting nature of equity and efficiency in water allocation problems. A lower q generally implies a lower risk of violating the system constraints and a worse drought intensity scenario corresponds to less available water resources, both of which would lead to a decreased system benefit and a less equitable water allocation scheme. Thus, the proposed modeling framework could help obtain the Pareto optimal schemes under complexity and ensure that the proposed water allocation solutions are effective for coping with drought conditions, with a proper tradeoff between system benefit and water allocation equity.
