Analysis of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of fetal meconium peritonitis.

Background: The purpose of this study was to improve diagnostic and therapeutic standards by examining the clinical features, treatment, and prognosis of fetal meconium peritonitis (FMP), as well as the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound for FMP.

Methods: The clinical data of 41 infants and pregnant women diagnosed with meconium peritonitis (MP) and treated at the Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2013 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical data, imaging data, complications, treatment strategies, pregnancy outcomes, neonatal prognoses, and follow-up outcomes were all analyzed.

Three-dimensional convolutional neural network model to identify clinically significant prostate cancer in transrectal ultrasound videos: a prospective, multi-institutional, diagnostic study.

Background: Identifying patients with clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) before biopsy helps reduce unnecessary biopsies and improve patient prognosis. The diagnostic performance of traditional transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for csPCa is relatively limited. This study was aimed to develop a high-performance convolutional neural network (CNN) model (P-Net) based on a TRUS video of the entire prostate and investigate its efficacy in identifying csPCa.

The Application Value of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography in Assessing the Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Lauromacrogol Injections in Cesarean Scar Pregnancies.

Objective: To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injections in patients with cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP).

Methods: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with CSP, who underwent an ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection + curettage in our hospital between February 2019 and December 2020 and had a complete recovery confirmed by a postoperative ultrasound review and serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) assay, were enrolled as the study subjects. According to the volume of intraoperative blood loss and the duration of postoperative vaginal bleeding, the patients were divided into two groups, with 19 in the significantly effective group (Group A) and 12 in the effective group (Group B).

[Effects of surface and mixed application of sewage sludge on root growth].

The utilization of sewage sludge in forests is an important way of recycling. However, the effect of sewage sludge application on woody plant root growth has been rarely reported. The effects of surface application and mixed application of sewage sludge (mass ratio in 10%) on the dynamics in root morphology of a fast-growing tree species (), soil pH, electric conductivity, and heavy metal content of roots in different soil layers were analyzed by a rhizobox experiment.

[Adaptability of to sewage sludge and its characteristics of nutrient and heavy metal uptake and accumulation].

, an important fast-growing economic tree species in China, has the advantages of strong adaptability, high-biomass, and high bioconcentration of heavy metals. Sewage sludge contains a great deal of nutrients and heavy metals. Planting with sewage sludge can achieve the goals of sewage sludge remediation as well as resources production of .

Effects of sewage sludge and other wastes application on the growth and element uptake of in abandoned rare-earth mine soil.

The wastes such as sewage sludge (SS) can be used to amend soil of abandoned rare-earth mine land (ARL). The energy plant could be used as a pioneer tree species in the ARL. In a pot experiment to address the responses of growth and element uptake of , three treatments were established: adding SS to the soil of ARL (T), adding SS and bagasse to the soil of ARL (T), adding SS, bagasse and passivator to the soil of ARL (T), with the untreated soil of the ARL as the control (CK).

[Heavy metal tolerance of Miscanthus plants and their phytoremediation potential in abandoned mine land].

Miscanthus has been recognized as promising candidate for phytoremediation in abandoned mine land, because of its high tolerance to heavy metals and bioenergy potential. Miscanthus has been reported tolerant to several heavy metal elements. However, it has not been recognized as hyperaccumulator for these elements.
