Selecting the dominant tree species Quercus fabric in three root underground habitat types (the dolomites of low oblique occurrence with multilayer space, middle oblique occurrence with multilayer space, and high oblique occurrence with multilayer space) in Karst area as test object, this paper studied the foliar delta13C value and its correlations with habitat soil conditions, and the plant water use efficiency. There existed remarkable differences in the foliar delta13C value of Q. fabric among the three habitat types, being decreased in the order of low oblique occurrence with multilayer space type (-26.35 per thousand) > high oblique occurrence with multilayer space type (-26.66 per thousand) > middle oblique occurrence with multilayer space type (-27.07 per thousand). Accordingly, the plant water use efficiency decreased in the same order. The foliar delta13C value had significant correlation with habitat soil moisture content, but less correlation with habitat soil elements contents. The delta13C value increased with the decrease of soil moisture content and soil fertility.

Background: Adjacent segment disease (ASD) has become one of the most common complications after lumbar interbody fusion. To date, there have been few reports on the radiological effects between oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in lumbar degenerative diseases adjacent to the superior and inferior segments.
Method: The data of patients treated with OLIF or MIS-TLIF due to L4/5 degenerative lumbar diseases from October 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: To compare prevalence and severity of sacral dysmorphism in Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian populations.
Methods: We performed a single centre retrospective matched cohort study in consecutive Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian patients who received a CT scan of the pelvis between January and March 2024 at our institution. Patients were excluded if they were under the age of 18 at the time of the scan or had a history of pelvic fractures or fixation.

Aim: To compare the visual and optical outcomes following femtosecond laser keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) using an aberration neutral profile with asymmetric offset (AO) and pupil center (PC) treatments.
Methods: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial study, 48 (24 cases) and 38 eyes (19 cases) underwent myopic astigmatism and hyperopic astigmatism LASIK. One eye of each individual was randomly assigned to AO centration and the fellow eye underwent the PC-centered method.

Background And Aims: Regional techniques are preferred for controlling post-thoracotomy pain due to lower complication rates. This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) with thoracic erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for post-thoracotomy pain.
Methods: This randomised, double-blind, non-inferior clinical study involved 60 cases scheduled for thoracic surgery.

Objective: This study introduces a modified thyroidectomy with an oblique supraclavicular incision through the strap intermuscular space.The research evaluates this new approach's feasibility, safety, and effectiveness against the other two, focusing on lessening surgical trauma and bettering cosmetic results.
Methods: Analysis was conducted on clinical data from 508 patients who underwent unilateral thyroid cancer surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University from December 2023 to December 2024.
