Two severe cases of green pit viper bites were reported. The clinical manifestations were severe bleeding and diarrhea. The first patient had acute renal failure complicated from severe diarrhea and hypovolemia. Hematological findings showed hypofibrinogenemia and thrombocytopenia. Renal biopsy performed in the first case showed a picture compatible with that of the recovery phase of acute tubular necrosis. Green pit viper antivenine serum together with symptomatic and supportive treatment was given. Both patients recovered uneventfully.

Snake-related injury (SRI) is one of the most common medical emergencies encountered in tropical countries such as Malaysia. The majority of snake bites are nonvenomous, while the less common venomous snakebite can cause major disability or even death. There are 16 pit viper species documented in Malaysia which can be categorized based on their habitat.

A critical challenge in ecological restoration of open-pit mine dumps in cold regions with limited topsoil resources is how to rapidly mitigate the plant growth-inhibitory effects of mineral black clay, thereby converting it into arable soil. Leveraging the high degradation capacity of coal seam-associated microorganisms on fossil carbon materials, combined with soil conditioning techniques, this study developed a microbial-based approach for modifying black clay. Seed germination experiments informed both laboratory and field trial designs.

Large-scale engineering projects frequently involve pit excavation and wetland landfill operations, resulting in significant silt accumulation that occupies land and adversely affects the environment. Curing technology offers a solution for reusing this waste silt. In this study, straw ash and calcium carbide slag are proposed as effective curing agents for silt soil.

In the course of pipe jacking construction, the carrying-soil effect frequently arises, influenced by factors such as excavation unloading, ongoing disturbance from successive pipe sections, and the progressive accumulation of soil adhesion. The pipe jacking slurry serves as a critical agent for friction reduction and strata support, essential for the secure advancement of the construction process. This study introduces the Microbial-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology into the realm of pipe jacking slurry, aiming to enhance its friction-reduction capabilities and the stability of the soil enveloping the pipe.
