Article Abstract
Background: Arteriovenous haemangioma (AVH) is considered a rare, benign, acquired, cutaneous tumour of vascular origin. Recently, a variant associated with chronic hepatic disease has been described. The usual treatment is surgical resection but no other treatments have been reported.
Objective: To evaluate the results obtained in the treatment of AVH with carbon dioxide laser vaporization.
Methods: Every patient with AVH related to chronic hepatic disease treated in the laser unit was reviewed. Five patients were treated with carbon dioxide laser vaporization. The first pass of treatment was performed in defocused mode at 2 W/cm(2). After this, several passes were performed in order to clear the entire lesion. One session of treatment was necessary for three patients, and the other two patients needed two sessions.
Results: The tumoral mass as well as the pulse disappeared in all lesions; total clearance was obtained in four of the five cases. In the postoperative time, no bleeding or haemorrhage were observed. No significant secondary effects of treatment were present. The cosmetic outcome was excellent in all cases.
Conclusion: Carbon dioxide laser vaporization may be an alternative treatment for cases of AVH in chronic hepatic disease: the procedure is easy and with good cosmetic outcome.

The conversion of methane and carbon dioxide to form C products is of great interest but presents a long-standing grand challenge due to the significant obstacle of activating the inert C-H and C═O bonds as well as forming the C-C bonds. Herein, the consecutive C-C coupling of CH and CO was realized by using heteronuclear metal cations CuTa, and the desorption of HC═C═O molecules was evidenced by state-of-the-art mass spectrometry. The CuTa reaction system is significantly different from the homonuclear metal systems of Cu and Ta.

Phenol is one of the major organic pollutants in high salt industrial wastewater. The biological treatment method is considered to be a cost-effective and eco-friendly method, in which the co-culture of microalgae and bacteria shows a number of advantages. In the previous study, a co-culture system featuring () and () was established and could degrade 400 mg L phenol at 3% NaCl concentration.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria demand that enterprises should not be assessed solely on their financial performance, but also on their environmental, social, and governance performance. This numerical assessment of ESG criteria enables them to be evaluated with the consideration of other financial issues of enterprises' performance and thereby guides financial investments into environmentally and socially responsible firms. ESG, however, solidifies the continuance of conventional technologies but can potentially disadvantage emerging technologies.

To achieve non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission reduction and control in municipal wastewater treatment plants （WWTPs）, this study conducted one-year long-term monitoring of nitrous oxide （NO） in the anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic （AO） process of a large-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant in Beijing. The experimental results showed that the anaerobic and anoxic zones of the AO process could effectively remove dissolved NO contained in the return sludge, while the aerobic zone was the main area for NO generation and emission, and its generation pathway may have been dominated by ammonia oxidizing bacteria （AOB） denitrification. A significant difference was observed between winter and summer NO production, and the difference in the average NO release flux was up to 7.

Water use efficiency (WUE) is a tracer for plants on the trade-off exchange of water and carbon dioxide between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere; therefore, a dynamic investigation of WUE and its driving factors will be of great significance to optimize water and carbon fitness and predict the plants' response to climate change. In our study, a modified water use efficiency model was proposed to improve the quantification of carbon and water processes by adding a photosynthesis-g simulation dependent on CO concentration and soil moisture to the photosynthetic transpiration model (noted as SMPTSB model). Actual measured water use efficiencies were respectively obtained by the gas exchange measurements (WUE) and the δC that defined as the carbon-heavy isotope of the water-soluble compound in leaves (WUE) of three-year tree saplings of Platycladus orientalis (L.
