This review aims to aid haematologists and psychiatrists to jointly manage neutropenia and agranulocytosis caused by clozapine.

The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is increasing worldwide. Despite advances in surgical and non-surgical treatment, reported outcomes are still poor and surgical resection remains to be the only chance for long-term survival of affected patients. The identification and validation of prognostic factors and scores, such as the recently introduced resection severity index, for postoperative morbidity and mortality are essential to facilitate optimal therapeutic regimens.

This is a retrospective analysis of 269 patients undergoing resection of histologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between February 1996 and September 2018 at a tertiary referral center for hepatobiliary surgery. Regression analyses were performed to evaluate potential prognostic factors, including the resection severity index.

Median postoperative follow-up time was 22.93 (0.10-234.39) months. Severe postoperative complications (≥ Clavien-Dindo grade III) were observed in 94 (34.9%) patients. The body mass inictors for postoperative morbidity and mortality, respectively.Rapid increase in carbon dioxide emission triggers climate change, while climate change poses a threat to food security. On the other hand, emission increase as a result of agricultural production continues. Considering this cycle, it is thought that examining the relationship between agricultural production and carbon dioxide emissions can help countries take emission-reducing measures and develop policies to ensure food safety. With this thought, a common correlated effect estimator was used in this study to explain the relationship between crop and livestock production index and carbon dioxide emission of 184 countries with the use of data for the period of 1998-2014. Countries were classified under four categories low-income countries, lower middle-income countries, upper middle-income countries and high-income countries. According to DCCE test results, it was reported that a 1% increase in crop production index had effect on CO2 emission only in lower middle-income countries. A 1% increase in livestock production index, on the other hand, was reported to increase CO2 emission rates by 0.28, 0.49, and 0.39 in lower middle-income, upper middle-income, and high-income countries, respectively. When evaluated in general, it could be stated that livestock breeding has a higher effect on CO2 emission in agricultural production. The findings of the present study revealed that countries need to improve agricultural production methods in ways to minimize the positive association between vegetative and livestock production in accordance with their level of development, to adopt more environment-friendly agricultural technologies and to endorse international environmental policies.This study aims to reveal the evolutionary process of particles during the diesel exhaust transport process and to further understand the effects of diesel exhaust transport distance (DET) on a particulate microstructure. Specifically, the micromorphological, particle size distribution, and aggregate characteristics of particles as well as the variation of the structural characteristics of elementary carbon particles (ECPs) as DET changed were examined using an engine exhaust particle size spectrometer, a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy system, and a small-angle X-ray scattering system. The results show the following As DET increased, the chains gradually lengthened, the extent of accumulation and stacking increased, and a number of clusters gradually rose. The average particle diameter increased from 23.1 nm at 0 m to 92.7 nm at 3 m. In addition, as DET increased, the number of accumulation-mode particles, the number of folded, curved carbon layers in the inner core of carbon particles, and ts that the number of continuously arranged carbon atoms decreased, the arrangement of carbon atoms was more disorderly, and the degree of graphitization decreased. As DET increased, there was a gradual increase in the interlayer spacing and curvature of ECPs. This suggests that increasing DET led to a more disorderly distribution of electron orbitals inside the carbon layers, less electron resonance stability in the carbon layers, greater oxidative activity of ECPs, and greater inherent oxidative capacity of particles.Natural products may be applied in a wide range of domains, from agriculture to food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, the antioxidant properties and the capacity to inhibit some enzymatic activities of Euphorbia resinifera and Euphorbia officinarum aqueous extracts and honeys were assessed. The physicochemical characteristics were also evaluated. Higher amounts of iron, copper and aluminium were detected in E. officinarum honey, which may indicate environmental pollution around the beehives or inadequate storage of honey samples. This honey sample showed higher amounts of total phenols and better capacity for scavenging superoxide anion free radicals and DPPH free radicals as compared with E. resinifera honey, but poorer capacity for inhibiting lipoxygenase, acetylcholinesterase, tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase. The ratio plant masssolvent volume (1100) and extraction time (1 - 2 h) were associated with higher total phenols and better antioxidant activities and lipoxygenase, acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase inhibitory activities, regardless of the plant species. The aqueous extracts had systematically higher in vitro activities than the respective honey samples.Currently, the correlation between ambient temperature and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) hospital admissions remains not determined. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between ambient temperature and SLE hospital admissions in Hefei City, China. An ecological study design was adopted. Daily data on SLE hospital admissions in Hefei City, from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, were obtained from the two largest tertiary hospitals in Hefei, and the daily meteorological data at the same period were retrieved from China Meteorological Data Network. The generalized additive model (GAM) combined with distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) with Poisson link was applied to evaluate the influence of ambient temperature on SLE hospital admissions after controlling for potential confounding factors, including seasonality, relative humidity, day of week, and long-term trend. There were 1658 SLE hospital admissions from 2007 to 2017, including 370 first admissions and 1192 re-admissions (there were 96 admissions with admission status not stated). No correlation was observed between ambient temperature and SLE first admissions, but a correlation was found between low ambient temperature and SLE re-admissions (RR 2.53, 95% CI 1.11, 5.77) (3.5 °C vs 21 °C). The effect of ambient temperature on SLE re-admissions remained for 2 weeks but disappeared in 3 weeks. Exposure to low ambient temperature may increase hospital re-admissions for SLE, and thus it is important for SLE patients to maintain a warm living environment and avoid exposure to lower ambient temperature.Vietnam has witnessed a rapid increase in national-level CO2 emissions due to rising urbanization, economic expansion, export growth, and industrial development. Moreover, to support the ambitious economic growth targets, reliance on and consumption of fossil fuels are increasing by each passing year. With this circumstance, this study aims to analyze the key drivers of CO2 emissions in Vietnam from 1990 to 2016 using the Kaya identity and decomposition method. Following this approach, CO2 emissions have been decomposed into five effect categories comprising population, affluence, energy intensity, fuel mix, and emission intensity. As per the results, CO2 emissions in Vietnam were mainly driven by rising affluence (58.5%) and changing fuel mix (33.2%) which have resulted from improved living standards, rapid industrial development, and higher fossil fuel consumption. Moreover, population (13.8%) and emission intensity (3.1%) exhibited a relatively lower impact on CO2 emissions during 1990-2016. However, energy intensity (- 8.7%) was the only negative driver which has resulted in the slowdown of carbon emissions in Vietnam. Based on the analysis of energy policy development, the share of renewable energy resources was still quite low in the national energy mix with higher reliance on traditional fossil fuels (mainly coal and petroleum). Therefore, to make a transition towards low-carbon economic growth, significant improvements in energy efficiency and emission intensity are necessary together with national energy mix restructuring for low-carbon economic growth.This study focuses on the Dombrovska pit lake, near the city of Kalush in Ukraine, which is a former potassium salt mine filled with brine and freshwater. The water level is still increasing and as a result the salinity is decreasing. We analyzed the benthic fauna communities and the genome instability by assessing the rearrangements in the polytene chromosomes of Chironomus salinarius and the physicochemical parameters of the near-bottom water (pH, conductivity, mineralization, major ions, NO3-, NH4+, metals Cd, Pb, Cu, Mn, and Fe) and sediment (pH, organic matter and metals Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Fe) at four sites. The water mineralization ranged from 17.3 to 26.2 g dm-3 which are classified as mesohaline and polyhaline waters, respectively. The biodiversity of the benthic fauna was low, and the dominant species was C. salinarius. The density of C. salinarius varied spatially and changed from 637 ind./m2 at a depth of 5 m to 8167 ind./m2 at a depth of 2.5 m. The genome instability was analyzed by examining the structural and functional changes in the salivary gland chromosomes of C. salinarius. The exposure of C. salinarius damaged the chromosomes and the activities of key structures, such as the Balbiani ring and nucleolar organizer, were partially or completely suppressed.Co-Fe, Cu-Cr, and Co-Mn mixed oxide catalysts were prepared using a one-pot hard template synthesis method, and their catalytic performance was investigated before and after the rearrangement of the template. To evaluate the structural properties of the catalysts, various analyses were employed, including the BET, XRD, H2-TPR, FE-SEM, EDX, and X-ray digital mapping of the elements. The results indicated that the rearrangement of the catalyst structure had a profound effect on the structural and catalytic properties, so that in all three synthesized catalysts, the specific surface and the reducibility increased significantly, and the crystalline structure and morphology of the catalysts changed remarkably. The specific surface area of the CoFe, CuCr, and CoMn catalysts increased from 3.5, 1.1, and 72.9 m2/g to 151.3, 52.8, and 108.0 m2/g, respectively. These structural changes significantly increased the catalytic performance. The results indicated that the 100% conversion temperature of the CoMn catalyst as the optimal sample after rearrangement was reduced from 250 to 125 °C. Also, the stability of the CoMn catalyst in dry and wet conditions was investigated and the results indicated that the presence of water vapor reduced the activity and stability of the catalyst. The activation energy was also calculated on Co-Mn catalyst (59.5 kJ/mol) and the results confirmed that the most probable mechanism for this reaction was the MVK mechanism.
