The accumulation of excessive nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs has greatly accelerated eutrophication, which has led to the frequent outbreaks of algal blooms and brought great ecological risks to the related aquatic ecosystems. Evaluations on the eutrophic status of water bodies and estimations of water environment capacity are not only crucial for comprehensive assessment of eutrophic status but also indispensable references for comprehensive management of the aquatic ecosystems. In this study, major environmental variables (chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus) of Yankou Reservoir watershed were monitored monthly from May 2020 to March 2022 and based upon the determined results, the comprehensive eutrophic conditions and water environment capacity were evaluated and estimated.

Tumor recurrence, the Gordian knot of liver transplantation for malignancies, may be attributed to many parameters. The technique of the "classical" recipient hepatectomy is believed to be one of the potential reasons to cause tumor evasion because of the possible increase of circulating tumor cells, thus leading to an increased recurrent rate. On this background, the no-touch oncological recipient hepatectomy technique has been developed.

Milan criteria (MC), a tumor size and number-based assessment, is currently used as the endpoint in these patients. However, many studies believe that tumor biological behavior should be added to the evaluation criteria for downstaging efficacy.

The disease symptoms included appearance of slightly sunken circular lesion with corky rot on the potato surface at the stem-end portion. The fungal species isolated from the infected potatoes were grown on potato dextrose agar and produced white aerial mycelia with dark violet pigments.
