The empirical results provide constructive policy implications that should be considered by the policy makers for the more sustainable development of China's mining sector.The aim of this article is to discuss the importance of staged surgeries when approaching atypical central neurocytoma in children. Also, we show the preoperative embolization of the lesion as a maneuver to reduce the intraoperative bleeding. Central neurocytomas represent less than 0.5% of all intracranial tumors, and atypical central neurocytomas usually have unfavorable outcome, with high recurrence rate. The intraventricular location is frequent, with a predilection for the lateral ventricles. When completely resected, these lesions have a good prognosis. We report a case of a 12-year old male patient that presented with a history of headache for about 6 months, which worsened for 1 week prior to admission. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed a massive lesion occupying both lateral ventricles. He underwent a microsurgical treatment of a highly vascularized lesion, but the perioperative bleeding required interruption of the surgery. Thus, a preoperative embolization was able to occlude most arterial feeders and allowed subtotal resection in a second surgery. The patient had complete neurological recovery despite immediate post-operative deficits, and the histopathology was suggestive of atypical neurocytoma. Two-stage surgery with preoperative adjuvant embolization is a feasible strategy for treatment of large central neurocytomas in children.The fabrication of a magnetically controlled colorimetric aptasensor for chlorpyrifos is reported. The aptasensor was fabricated by the attachment of the colorimetric labels onto the magnetic carrier due to the hybridization reaction between the complementary DNA and aptamer. Chlorpyrifos detection was realized by monitoring the color changes of the TMB/H2O2 solution before and after incubation of the aptasensor with chlorpyrifos via exposure to external magnetic force. The color change was monitored at 650 nm by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Under the optimal conditions, this magnetically controlled Cu-MOF-based aptasensor showed a detection limit of 4.4 ng/mL with a linear range of 0-1250 ng/mL. The colorimetric aptasensor displayed high selectivity for chlorpyrifos toward other interfering pesticides. The aptasensor was successfully applied for the spiked test of chlorpyrifos in fruits and vegetable samples with good recovery, which were in agreement with data obtained by GC-MS analysis. This magnetically controlled Cu-MOF-based sensing strategy not only leads to development of efficient and facile phase separation, but also expands the MOF's target scope from H2O2 or glucose to pesticides. Graphical abstract. The role of the antiviral therapy in treatment of COVID-19 is still a matter to be investigated. Also efficacy and safety of antiviral regimens were not compared according severity of the disease. In this study the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine plus atazanavir/ritonavir was compared in patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. We prospectively evaluated the clinical outcomes of 213 patients with COVID-19 during the hospitalization course and up to 56days after the hospital discharge. The disease was categorized to moderate and severe based on the severity of pneumonia and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2). The patients received the national treatment protocol containing hydroxychloroquine (400mg BD in first day and then 200mg BD) plus atazanavir/ritonavir (300/100mg daily) for 7days. Main outcomes included discharge rates at day 7, 14 and 28, 28-day mortality, rate of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and intubation, length of hospital and ICU stay and incidence of adverse events. The e followed up to 56days after discharge. Some of the patients complained of symptoms such as exertional dyspnea, weakness and new-onset hair loss. Our study did not support the use of hydroxychloroquine plus atazanavir/ritonavir in patients who had SpO  < 90% at the time of hospital admission. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/BIBF1120.html SpO2 was the only predictor of clinical outcomes (duration of hospital stay, discharge from the hospital and mortality) in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine plus atazanavir/ritonavir. Our study did not support the use of hydroxychloroquine plus atazanavir/ritonavir in patients who had SpO2  less then  90% at the time of hospital admission. SpO2 was the only predictor of clinical outcomes (duration of hospital stay, discharge from the hospital and mortality) in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine plus atazanavir/ritonavir. Sub-optimal weight loss following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) represents an important clinical challenge in a significant number of patients. Early identification of such patients would be advantageous, as it could aid in the selective implementation of targeted adjunct interventions during the first post-operative year. Clinical audit data from 1137 patients undergoing RYGB between 2013 and 2016 at the Instituto Sallet in Brazil were prospectively registered in an online database (BOLD) and analyzed. Forty-eight percent of patients achieving less than 5% total weight loss after the first post-operative month achieved a 20% total weight loss at 1year (n = 626; OR = 0.6 CI = 95%). Eighty-three percent of patients losing between 5 and 10% at 1month and 95% of patients losing greater than 10% at 1month had lost at least 20% of total body weight after the first post-operative year. Forty-four percent of patients achieving less than 10% total weight loss after the third post-operative month achieved 20% total weight loss at 1year (n = 494; OR = 0.3 CI = 95%). Total bodyweight reduction after RYGB of < 5% at 1month and < 10% at 3months is associated with suboptimal weight loss at 1year. These results reinforce findings from other studies reporting that patients tend to follow a common weight loss trajectory. Identifying the patients with weight trajectory requiring adjunct therapies early on is crucial so appropriate adjustments can be made to post-operative care.
