The quick and accurate measurement and evaluation of the deterioration degree and consolidation effectiveness on the surface of masonry relics is valuable for disease investigation and restoration work. However, there is still a lack of quantitative indices for evaluating the deterioration degree and consolidation effectiveness of masonry relics in situ. Based on the micro-drilling resistance method, new quantitative evaluation indices for the deterioration degree and consolidation of masonry materials were proposed. Five types of masonry samples with different deterioration degrees were prepared by artificially accelerated deterioration tests involving sandstone and clay brick as research objects. Three types of consolidants were used to consolidate the deteriorated samples. Drilling resistance tests were conducted for deteriorated and consolidated samples. The variations in deterioration depth and average drilling resistance for samples with different numbers of deterioration cycles were analysed, while the differences in consolidation depth and average drilling resistance for samples with different consolidant types and dosages were compared. Finally, the deterioration degree index ( ) and consolidation effectiveness index ( ), which are based on the average drilling resistance, are proposed. The results can be applied to quick on-site investigations of immovable masonry relics.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon and silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) composites were prepared using chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) combined with reactive melt infiltration (RMI). The microstructure and flexural properties of C/C-SiC composites after oxidation in different temperature water vapor environments were studied. The results indicate that the difficulty of oxidation in water vapor can be ranked from easy to difficult in the following order: carbon fiber (CF), pyrolytic carbon (PyC), and ceramic phase.

Unlabelled: Thirst is a common symptom in patients with heart failure (HF), which can cause a high degree of distress. Increased fluid intake due to thirst can lead to clinical deterioration because of shifts in volume status. The thirst assessment should be included in routine patient follow-up; however, only a limited set of validated instruments are available.

As trends in life expectancy continue to improve, the burden of loneliness in geriatric populations on a global scale is increasing. With advancing age comes an increase in the number of life events that can perpetuate a state of loneliness such as losing a life partner, dwindling social networks, and deteriorating health conditions. This burden can manifest in a variety of mental and physical consequences.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical situation and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 125 pregnant women with varying degrees of PAH who were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology between January 2016 and January 2023. The patients were divided into the mild group (58 cases), the moderate group (42 cases), and the severe group (25 cases) based on the pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASBP) measurements.
