Incomplete Ear Amputation.

Ear amputations are common in emergency departments as the auricle's protrusion from the lateral aspect of the head makes it particularly susceptible to trauma. Of the numerous approaches for auricle injuries, the classic methods include microsurgical replantation, primary reattachment, composite graft, retroauricular pocket principle, secondary reconstruction with rib cartilage, and methods using postauricular flap. The success of the operation depends largely on choosing the appropriate surgical procedure since many factors can influence surgical outcome.

Application of the 3D digital ostectomy template (DOT) in mandibular angle ostectomy (MAO).

Background: Mandibular angle ostectomy (MAO) is a standard approach in reconstruction of facial contour that is commonly used in East Asian patients with prominent mandibular angles (PMA). MAO is commonly performed via an intraoral approach to reduce scar visibility and risk of facial nerve injury. Since this intraoral approach for MAO has limited visual guidance during the procedure, plastic surgeons often perform the operation based on personal clinical experience.

[Liver and Kidney Function of E-waste Dismantling Workers and Potential Influencing Factors].

High levels of exposure to heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by e-waste dismantling workers has attracted increasing attention, but the health conditions of the workers are seldom reported. The liver and kidney functions of the workers were studied by comparing the blood indicators of the worker group with those of the control group. Moreover, factors affecting the liver and kidney functions, such as the sexuality, age, and working time, were identified using correlation analysis.

[Effects of elevated ozone concentrations on reactive oxygen metabolism and related gene expression in Ginkgo biloba leaves].

By using the open top chambers (OTCs) fumigation method, this paper investigated the changes of foliar injury, level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in Ginkgo biloba leaves under different ozone (ambient ozone≈40, 80, 160, 200 nmol·mol) concentrations, in order to study the effects of elevated ozone (O) concentrations on reactive metabolism. The results showed that the obvious foliar injuries were observed in 160 and 200 nmol·mol O treatments, while no visible injury was observed in 80 nmol·mol O and ambient O treatments. After 20 d, a significant increase in O generation rate was observed in G.
