Late Paleozoic faunal, climatic, and geographic changes in the Baoshan block as a Gondwana-derived continental fragment in southwest China

The Carboniferous and Permian of the Baoshan block consist of three major depositional sequences: a Lower Carboniferous carbonate sequence, a Lower Permian siliciclastic sequence, and a Middle Permian carbonate sequence. These three sequences were interrupted by two major regressive events: first, the Namurian Uplift ranging in age from Serpukovian to Gzhelian, and second, the Post-Sakmarian Regression occurring probably at Artinskian time in the Baoshan block, although the precise time interval of the latter event is still unclear. The Baoshan block is characterized by warm-water, highly diverse and abundant faunas during the Early Carboniferous, by cold-water and low diversity faunas during the Early Permian, and by possibly warm-water but low diversity faunas during the Middle Permian. The Sweetognathus bucaramangus conodont fauna constrains the upper boundary of the diamictite-bearing siliciclastic deposits (Dingjiazhai Formation) to the Sakmarian to early Artinskian, as well as the eruption of the rifting basalts (Woniusi Formation) to, at least, the post-early Artinskian. Paleozoogeographically, affiliation of the faunas in the Baoshan block changed from Eurasian in the Early Carboniferous, to Peri-Gondwanan in the Early Permian, and to Marginal Cathaysian/Cimmerian in the Middle Permian. Cimmerian blocks have more or less comparable geohistory to one another in the Carboniferous and Permian. During the Middle Permian, the eastern Cimmerian blocks such as Sibumasu (s.s), Baoshan, and Tengchong are not far from the palaeoequator, but apparently more distant than the western Cimmerian blocks based on the presence or absence of some index taxa such as the fusulinaceans Eopolydiexodina and Neoschwagerina, and the corals Thomasiphyllum and Wentzellophyllum persicum.     

On the PBB Designs for Multiresponse Experiments

We present the idea of using multiresponse incomplete block designs when not all responses can be observed in all experimental units. For a special class of such designs, in which partial designs are PBB designs, a method for estimating natural treatment contrast is given. We also consider the problem of testing the hypotheses concerning the natural and any estimable treatment contrasts. For testing this hypothesis the Wald statistics, being asymptotically chi-square distributed, is proposed.     

Hunter Movement and its Role in National Game Bird Surveys

Analysis of sample survey data on the species composition of waterfowl kill for resident and nonresident hunters for provinces of Canada during 1974 and 1975 showed that a successful game bird hunter who hunted in more than one area (degree block) had both a higher average season kill and more successful days of hunting in which one or more birds were bagged, than one who hunted in the same area during the season. Adjustment for days hunted resulted in a higher daily hunting for those who hunted in more than one degree block. However, the higher kill of the successful hunter is attributable more to a larger number of days hunted than to a larger kill per successful day. Also, hunters hunting in more than one degree block had their successful hunting days more evenly spread across the season. The estimates of kill per successful hunter and days hunted for stratified sampling by areas of hunting were considerably more efficient than simple random sampling.     

Automated measurement and statistical modelling of elastic laminae in arteries

Structural features of elastic laminae within arteries can provide vital information for both the mechanobiology and the biomechanics of the wall. In this paper, we propose, test and illustrate a new computer-based scheme for automated analysis of regional distributions of elastic laminae thickness, inter-lamellar distances and fragmentation furcation points (FPs) from standard histological images. Our scheme eliminates potential artefacts produced by tissue cutting, automatically aligns tissue according to physiologic orientations and performs cross-sectional measurements along radial directions. A statistical randomised complete block design and F test were used to assess the potential (non)-uniformity of lamellar thicknesses and separations along both radial and circumferential directions. Illustrative results for both normotensive and hypertensive thoracic porcine aorta revealed marked heterogeneity along the radial direction in nearly stress-free samples. Clearly, regional measurements can provide more detailed information about morphologic changes that cannot be gained by globally averaged evaluations alone. We also found that quantifying FP densities offers new information about potential elastin fragmentation, particularly in response to increased loading due to hypertension.     

帕瑞昔布联合股神经阻滞用于膝关节置换术后镇痛的效果评价及其对患者免疫功能的影响

目的:探讨帕瑞昔布联合股神经阻滞用于膝关节置换术后镇痛的效果及对患者免疫功能的影响。方法:选择2016年10月-2017年10月我院骨科住院部收治并行单侧膝关节置换的患者108例,按镇痛方式分为对照组和观察组各54例。对照组患者采用单纯股神经阻滞,观察组采用股神经阻滞联合帕瑞昔布。比较两组静息及活动状态下术后VAS评分、术后膝关节HSS评分、不良反应的发生情况及免疫指标的变化情况。结果:静息及活动状态下,观察组术后VAS评分均明显低于对照组(P均0.05),膝关节HSS评分显著高于对照组(P0.05)。两组术后不良反应的发生情况比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。手术结束时,两组CD4~+较麻醉前均显著下降(P均0.05);术后72 h,两组CD4~+、CD8~+及CD4~+/CD8~+较麻醉前均无显著差异(P均0.05)。观察组术后72 h CD4~+比对照组高(P0.05),而CD4~+/CD8~+显著低于对照组(P0.05)。结论:帕瑞昔布联合股神经阻滞对膝关节置换术后镇痛临床效果好,利于保护和改善患者免疫功能,促进膝关节功能的康复。     

Cell block as an adjunct to conventional Papanicolaou smear for diagnosis of cervical cancer in resource-limited settings

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of indigenously prepared cell blocks (CBs) as an adjunct to a conventional smear test in providing a reliable diagnosis of clinically suspicious cervical cancer in resource-limited settings. METHODS: Eighty-six clinically suspicious cervical cancer cases underwent a conventional smear test, CB preparation from residual cellular samples and biopsies at the same sitting. Correlations were performed between these modalities in order to derive the sensitivity and specificity of the CB technique to diagnose cervical cancer. OBSERVATION & RESULTS: Out of 86 clinically suspicious cervical cancers, 72 (83.7%), 70 (81.4%) and 67 (77.9%) cases were diagnosed as malignant on tissue biopsies, CBs and smears respectively. CB-biopsy agreement in the diagnosis of malignancy was feasible in 87.5% of the cases while CB-Pap smear agreement was feasible in 92.5% of the cases. Sensitivity and specificity of CB preparation to diagnose malignancy was 92.5% and 100%, respectively, when the smear was taken as the reference test (excluding the unsatisfactory smears). When biopsy was taken as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of CBs were 87.5% and 100% respectively (excluding the unsatisfactory biopsies). In 8/19 cases where the smear diagnoses were either unsatisfactory or atypical squamous cells/atypical glandular cells, CBs picked up malignant lesions. CONCLUSION: CBs prepared from the residual cellular sample of conventional cervical scrapes augment the sensitivity of the smear test. When used as an adjunct to the smear, CBs aid in providing a reliable diagnosis of cervical cancer in the majority of the clinically suspected cases and thus the biopsy load can be reduced significantly in resource-poor settings.
