Multimodal treatment combining neoadjuvant therapy, laparoscopic subtotal distal pancreatectomy and adjuvant therapy for pancreatic neck-body cancer: Case series.

Background: Pancreatic cancer involving the pancreas neck and body often invades the retroperitoneal vessels, making its radical resection challenging. Multimodal treatment strategies, including neoadjuvant therapy, surgery, and postoperative adjuvant therapy, are contributing to a paradigm shift in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. This strategy is also promising in the treatment of pancreatic neck-body cancer.

Treatment of the actual landfill leachate in different constructed wetlands through intermittent and varied aeration mode.

This study focused on the removal of organic matter and nitrogen and explored the feasible operation strategies to achieve short-cut nitrification and denitrification in two constructed wetlands (CWs), which were designed to treat the actual landfill leachate from a small county in parallel. The two CWs were horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (HFCW) with partial-area aeration and vertical sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (VFCW) with full-area aeration. The experimental results showed that both CWs could achieve an excellent organic matter and nitrogen removal performance under the conditions of intermittent aeration with high frequency and medium intensity (2 h of aeration and 4 h of rest).

Effect of first-stage aeration on treatment of domestic sewage in different hybrid constructed wetlands.

Two sets of hybrid constructed wetlands (HCWs) with the first-stage aeration were used to treat actual domestic sewage in this paper, where the effects of three important factors of aeration mode, hydraulic loading rates (HLR), and aeration volume on the removal of pollutants in both HCWs were studied in contrasts. In addition, the pollutant removal efficiency, the contribution of plants, and the characteristics of biofilm in both HCWs were explored. The results of 250-day experiment showed that the TN removal capacity of HCW combining vertical flow CW with horizontal flow CW (VF-HF) was better than HCW's converse combination (HF-VF) in treatingsewage, while the removal efficiency of COD and NH-N were similar, and the concentrations of TN and COD in the effluent of VF-HF could successfully meet the National discharge requirements.

Dose effects of calcium peroxide on harmful gases emissions in the anoxic/anaerobic landscape water system.

Large-area hypoxia of urban landscape water often causes the emissions of harmful gases in summer, which not only reduces its sensory effects, but also brings a potential threat to aquatic ecosystem and human health. This study explored the dose effects of calcium peroxide (CaO) on inhibiting harmful gases emissions and restoring the scenic effect (including visual sense and olfactory sense) of anoxic/anaerobic landscape water system. The results indicated that the emissions of HS, CO and CH from the anoxic/anaerobic water system were obviously inhibited in the reactors with CaO additions and the effect was positively correlated with the CaO dose.

Effects and mechanisms of calcium peroxide on purification of severely eutrophic water.

In consideration of severe eutrophication of scenic water caused by pollutants released from sediments in summer, calcium peroxide (CaO) was adopted as the slow release peroxide to improve the water quality in a field experiment of 600 m. The effect of CaO on the overlying water, interstitial water, sediment, and sediment microorganisms of scenic water was studied. Results for two months indicated that the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of the overlying water in the test zone was 3.
