Long-Term Efficacy of T3 Versus T3+T4 Thoracoscopic Sympathectomy for Concurrent Palmar and Plantar Hyperhidrosis.

Background: More than 50% of patients with palmar hyperhidrosis (PAH) also have plantar hyperhidrosis (PLH). We compared the long-term results of T3 sympathectomy with those of combined T3+T4 sympathectomy among patients with concurrent PAH and PLH.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with concurrent PAH and PLH who underwent T3 alone or T3+T4 sympathectomy from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017.

Metabolic function, trophic mode, organics degradation ability and influence factor of bacterial and fungal communities in chicken manure composting.

The metabolic function and organic degradation behavior of bacterial and fungal communities were detected in 60 days composting of chicken manure and pumice by using Biolog tools, PICRUSt and FUNGuild. Fungal diversity increased from 57 OTUs in fresh chicken manure to 109 OTUs in high temperature stage, while bacterial diversity decreased from 86 OTUs to 44 OTUs after composting treatment. The carbohydrates degradation ability of bacterial community was enhanced in the high temperature stage.

Succession of organics metabolic function of bacterial community in swine manure composting.

Organics metabolic function of bacterial communities was evaluated in 60 days composting of swine manure and pumice by using MiSeq sequencing, PICRUSt and Biolog tools. The diversity of bacterial communities significantly decreased during the first 10 days, and gradually increased in the cooling and curing phase. The PICRUSt and Biolog analysis indicated that carbohydrate, lipid and amino acids metabolisms were relatively higher in the thermophilic phases.

Changes in structure and function of fungal community in cow manure composting.

In this study, dynamic changes in fungal communities, trophic modes and effect factors in 60 days composting of cow manure were analyzed by using high throughput sequencing, FUNGuild and Biolog FF MicroPlate, respectively. Orpinomyces (relative abundance >10.85%) predominated in feedstock, and Mycothermus became the dominating genus (relative abundance >75%) during the active phase.

Functional characteristics and influence factors of microbial community in sewage sludge composting with inorganic bulking agent.

The metabolic function of microbial community dominated organics and nutrients transformation in aerobic composting process. In this study, the metabolic characteristics of bacterial and fungal communities were evaluated in 60 days composting of sludge and pumice by using FUNGuild and PICRUSt, respectively. The results showed that microbial community structure and metabolic characteristics were distinctively different at four composting periods.

Optimization of medium composition for 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid production by Pseudomonas mendocina-biodegraded polyhydroxybutyrate.

We optimized the culture medium for 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid production by Pseudomonas mendocina DS-04-T-biodegraded polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) using the Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent method, and Box-Behnken design. The optimized concentrations of the constituents of the culture medium were as follows: PHB (7.57 g/L), NH4 Cl (5.

Purification and characterization of two extracellular polyhydroxyalkanoate depolymerases from Pseudomonas mendocina.

Two polyhydroxyalkanoate depolymerases, PHAase I and PHAase II, were purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of an effective PHA-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas mendocina DS04-T. The molecular masses of PHAase I and PHAase II were determined by SDS-PAGE as 59.4 and 33.
