The influences of landscape pattern on water quality are dependent on spatial-temporal scales. However, the effects of landscape composition, landscape configuration, and landscape slope metrics on seasonal water quality at different spatial scales remain unclear. Based on the total nitrogen, total phosphorus, nitrate-N, and ammonium-N data from 26 sampling sites in the Qingshan Lake watershed, this study coupled landscape pattern analysis, redundancy analysis, and partial redundancy analysis to quantify the spatiotemporal scale effects of landscape pattern on riverine nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations.

Objectives: To assess the safety and immunogenicity of a nonadjuvant human papillomavirus (HPV) type 6 L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in local Chinese patients.

Methods: Patients with RRP who had undergone surgical treatment before intramuscular administration of an escalating dose of HPV type 6 L1 VLPs (1, 5, and 25 µg at 4 weekly intervals) as part of their treatment were followed up for more than 10 years. Efficacy was assessed by detecting the vaccine-induced type-specific antibody titer, calculating the intersurgical interval, and observing recurrence or remission of papillomas after receiving the vaccine.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the relationship between genetic mutations and the age of onset in nonsyndromic hearing impairment (NSHI) by analyzing 215 patients divided into four age groups based on when hearing loss first occurred.
  • The findings revealed that 18.14% had GJB2 mutations, primarily affecting infants, while 11.16% had mtDNA mutations, with a higher prevalence in adults.
  • The results indicated genetic mutations linked to congenital deafness (GJB2) and acquired deafness (mtDNA A1555G/C1494T), highlighting the need for early genetic testing and newborn hearing screening.
