Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of extended vertical lower trapezius island myocutaneous flap (eTMF) for reconstructing significant soft tissue defects in the head and neck after removing extensive plexiform neurofibromas in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
- The surgical procedure showed positive outcomes, with improved facial aesthetics, function (such as swallowing and speech), and a notable increase in patients' quality of life post-surgery.
- The results indicate that eTMF is a safe and effective method for enhancing both cosmetic appearance and social well-being after substantial tissue reconstruction.
[Responses of water use efficiency of Chinese fir to mixed planting and meteorological factors].

Chinese fir in China are generally inefficient plantations with single species, unreasonable stand density, and low productivity. The introduction of broadleaved species is usually adopted as a strategy to improve Chinese fir plantations. Taking the pure forests and mixed forests of the Guanshan Forest Farm in Jiangxi Province as example, we quantified the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) of trees based on the stable isotope carbon method, as well as its response to meteorological factors, and investigated the improvement of stand quality after introducing into Chinese fir plantation.

- The study aimed to evaluate the treatment approaches and prognosis for patients with chronic NK cell lymphoproliferative disorder (CLPD-NK) by analyzing 18 cases from a hospital over a six-year period.
- Treatment methods varied, including chemotherapy, immune-related therapy, and supportive care, leading to 15 patients surviving, with two achieving complete remission and seven partial remission, though some faced complications like aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL).
- The findings suggest that while most patients with CLPD-NK have mild progression and favorable outcomes, those developing ANKL or experiencing hemophagocytic syndrome have a significantly worse prognosis, highlighting the effectiveness of immunosuppressants and hormones in managing the disease.
Article Synopsis
- - Central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) is a severe type of cancer, and orelabrutinib, a new oral medication, is being tested to see how effective and safe it is for treating patients with this disease.
- - In a study of 23 patients, 100% of those with newly diagnosed CNSL showed improvement using orelabrutinib, while 60% of patients with relapsed cases also benefited from the treatment, with high rates of response and survival at six months.
- - Overall, orelabrutinib-based regimens proved to be effective and generally well-tolerated, suggesting that these treatments could become a new option for managing CNSL.
In this study, we focused on Platycladus orientalis, a widely distributed tree species in Beijing western mountains area, and precisely determined its foliar water use efficiency (including instantaneous water use efficiency derived from gas exchange and short-term water use efficiency obtained on carbon isotope model) by carefully considering the discrepancies of meteorological factors and atmosphere CO concentration and δC among different canopy heights, hoping to provide theoretical basis for carbon sequestration and water loss in regional forest ecosystem, and offer technical support for regional forest management and maintenance. The results showed that the foliar instan-taneous water use efficiency tended to increase with the increasing canopy height, following the order of the upper canopy > the middle canopy > the lower canopy. A variety of meteorological factors synergistically influenced stomatal movement, and stomatal conductance would in turn have an effect on foliar instantaneous water use efficiency.

October 2017
This research investigated shelterbelt structure indices using the standard sampling method, to study the dynamic changes of different tree species including Ulmus pumila, Populus simonii and Pinus tabuliformis in the depression area in Xiaobazi Township of Fengning County, Hebei Province, China. The results showed that the average age of U. pumila, P.
