Background The latissimus dorsi flap (LDF) is the most commonly used autologous for breast reconstruction (BR) in China. We conducted this study to explore current status of BR using LDF with/without implants. Methods This was a single-center retrospective that included tumor patients who underwent at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) between 2000 and 2021. Results analyzed 4918 p...

Aims: To evaluate different algorithms used to analyse retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) data obtained by scanning laser polarimetry, in order to compare their relative abilities to discriminate between patients with glaucomatous localised nerve fibre layer defects and normal subjects. Methods: 48 eyes of 48 glaucomatous patients with localised RNFL defects and 53 eyes of 53 healthy su...

The role of different isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the gastric mucosal hyperemia, induced by 155 mM luminal hydrochloric acid (pH approximately 0.8) without a barrier breaker, was investigated. Rats were anesthetized with Inactin (120 mg/kg ip), and mice were anesthetized with Forene (2.2% in 40% oxygen gas at 150 ml/min); the gastric mucosa was exteriorized. Gastric mucosal blood...

The Advanced Measurement Approach requires financial institutions to develop internal models to evaluate regulatory capital. Traditionally, the Loss Distribution Approach (LDA) is used mixing frequencies and severities to build a loss distribution function (LDF). This distribution represents annual losses, consequently the 99.9 percentile of the distribution providing the capital charge denotes...

In this study mono and dual ovaries, which belonged to female individuals of different plant parasitic nematode species that were obtained from the quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) (Rosales: Rosaceae) cultivated areas in Sakarya Province (Turkey), classified. The total number 109 121 nematodes, taken soil, used 2016, July 2017, July, respectively. Overall body length (L), spear (Stylet) tail/dist...

Abstract In this study, seismic events in Northern and Central Egypt are inspected to discriminate quarry blasts from earthquakes. We examine a collection of 639 both time frequency domains with local magnitudes 1.5 ≤ ML 3.3 the Egyptian Seismological Network’s event catalogue between 2009 2015. The maximum S-wave P-wave amplitude ratio, complexity (C), spectral ratio (S r ), power (P e ) class...

• High surface area activated carbon derived from Diospyros kaki fruit waste; Remarkable adsorption capacity for aqueous-phase atrazine; Linear driving force (LDF) model provides good fit to kinetic data; Activated efficient remove atrazine in real river samples. In this work, waste was employed as a precursor material develop high carbon, which efficiently removed the toxic herbicide (ATZ) syn...

In this paper, we represent L-domains by means of formal concept analysis. Based on the attributive continuous contexts, propose notions LDF-contexts and $${\mathcal {F}}$$ -morphisms show that they provide concrete representations Scott-continuous functions between them, respectively. Moreover, category with $$\mathcal {F}$$ is proven to be equivalent as morphisms.
