Article Abstract
A mesocosm experiment was conducted in a temperate eutrophic lake with the hypotheses: 1) the addition of a labile form of DOC would trigger a more pronounced response in phytoplankton biomass and composition compared with a non-labile form; 2) DOC addition would increase phytoplankton biomass by co-inserting organic nutrients for phytoplankton growth; 3) DOC addition would change phytoplankton composition, in particular towards mixotrophic taxa due to higher DOC availability; and that 4) there would be differences in phytoplankton responses to DOC addition, depending on whether sediment was included or not. We used two types of mesocosms: pelagic mesocosms with closed bottom, and benthic mesocosms open to the sediment. The experiment ran for 29 days in total. The DOC addition occurred once, at Day 1. Besides the control, there were two treatments: HuminFeed® (non-labile DOC) at a concentration of 2 mg L, and a combination of 2 mg L HuminFeed® and 2 mg L DOC from alder leaf leachate (labile). Responses were detected only in the treatment with alder leaf extract. Ecosystem processes responded immediately to DOC addition, with the fall in dissolved oxygen and pH indicating an increase in respiration, relative to primary production (Day 2). In contrast, there was a delay of a few days in structural responses in the phytoplankton community (Day 6). Phytoplankton biomass increased after DOC addition, probably boosted by the phosphorus released from alder leaf extract. Changes in phytoplankton composition towards mixotrophic taxa were not as strong as changes in biomass, and happened only in the pelagic mesocosms. With the DOC addition, diatoms prevailed in benthic mesocosms, while the contribution of colonial buoyant cyanobacteria increased in the pelagic ones. This study points towards the necessity to look in greater detail at specific responses of phytoplankton to DOC concentration increases considering lake-habitat and sediment influence.

Predictive model for sphincter preservation in lower rectal cancer.
World J Clin Oncol

Background: Low rectal cancer poses a significant surgical challenge because of its close proximity to the anal sphincter, often requiring radical resection with permanent colostomy to achieve oncological safety. Revisited rectal anatomy, advances in surgical techniques and neoadjuvant therapies have enabled the possibility of sphincter-preserving procedures, however, it is uniformly not applicable. Selecting appropriate candidates for sphincter preservation is crucial, as an ill-advised approach may compromise oncological outcome or lead to poor functional outcomes.

Background: The treatment of patients following primary total knee arthroplasty requiring revision surgery is one of the most demanding tasks in orthopedic surgery. A careful failure analysis and a systematic approach are of great importance for the often very individual situations. In addition to excellent technical skills, preoperative planning is of great importance.

Streams and ponds significantly contribute to the global freshwater carbon gases budget. To understand the role of urbanization in affecting aquatic carbon emissions, here we examined the carbon dioxide (CO) and methane (CH) concentrations and diffusive emissions from streams and small ponds across three headwater catchments with varied urbanization intensities in the upper Yangtze River. We found that riverine partial pressure of CO (pCO) and dissolved CH concentration (dCH) increased, while pond pCO and dCH decreased as urban land proportion of catchments increased from 1.

Background: The therapeutic efficacy and mode of combining immunotherapy with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) remain uncertain.
Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, seamless phase 2/3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05484024), eligible participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) (5 Gy × 5), followed by 4 cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin or 6 cycles of leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil, with (iTNT group) or without (total neoadjuvant therapy [TNT] group) 4 cycles of sintilimab.

Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow 226014, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Background: Traumatic cloacal deformities are a result of major obstetric injury and usually happens after a fourth-degree perineal laceration. This is characterized by complete disruption of the perineal body, anterior defect of the internal and external anal sphincter, and loss of the distal rectovaginal and/or anovaginal septum. The common chamber incorporating vagina and recto anal outlet ensues as cloaca.
