Intra-Rater and Inter-Rater Reliability of Tongue Coating Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine Using Smartphones: Quasi-Delphi Study.

Background: There is a growing trend in the use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and telemedicine, especially during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. Tongue diagnosis is an important component of TCM, but also plays a role in Western medicine, for example in dermatology. However, the procedure of obtaining tongue images has not been standardized and the reliability of tongue diagnosis by smartphone tongue images has yet to be evaluated.

Case report about a successful full robotic radical gastric cancer surgery with intracorporeal robot-sewn anastomosis in a patient with situs inversus totalis and a two-and-a-half-year follow-up study.

Background: During the last decade, total laparoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients has been developed as alternatives to open resection. In recent years, this minimally invasive surgery has been extended using robotic-assisted surgery.

Case Presentation: Here, we report a surgical intervention using a Da Vinci surgical robot in which a lower two-third stomach resection with subsequent Billroth II gastrojejunostomy was performed.

[Economic analysis of health promotion conducted in an enterprise].

Objective: To take intervention measures for health promotion after investigation of occupational health needs among employees, to analyze the economic input and output of the intervention measures, and to analyze the feasibility of health promotion through cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis.

Methods: A survey was conducted in an enterprise using a self-designed questionnaire to investigate the general information on enterprise, occupational history of each employee, awareness of occupational health knowledge, awareness of general health knowledge, awareness of hypertension, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, etc., lifestyle, and needs for health knowledge.

{2,2'-[(1,2-Di-cyano-ethene-1,2-di-yl)bis-(nitrilo-methanylyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κ(4) O,N,N',O'}(methanol-κO)zinc.

In the title complex, [Zn(C18H10N4O2)(CH4O)], the Zn(2+) cation is located on a mirror plane and is coordinated by a tetradentate Schiff base ligand anion (L (2-)) and a methanol mol-ecule. The Zn(2+) cation is surrounded by two N atoms and two O atoms from L (2-), in a nearly planar configuration, and one methanol O atom, forming a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The methanol molecule is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.

Rhodococcus qingshengii sp. nov., a carbendazim-degrading bacterium.

A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, mesophilic strain, djl-6(T), able to degrade carbendazim, was isolated from a carbendazim-contaminated soil sample from Jiangsu province, China. The taxonomic position of this isolate was analysed by using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic analysis including peptidoglycan type, diagnostic sugar composition, fatty acid profile, menaquinones, polar lipids and mycolic acids showed that the characteristics of strain djl-6(T) were in good agreement with those of the genus Rhodococcus.

Isolation and characterization of a carbendazim-degrading Rhodococcus sp. djl-6.

Bacterium djl-6, capable of degrading carbendazim, was isolated by continuous enrichment culture originating from carbendazim-treated soil. The isolate was identified as Rhodococcus sp. according to its phenotypic features, physiologic and biochemical characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis.
