Abstract Camellia petelotii (Merr.) Sealy is an endangered Chinese native species that originates from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Previous research demonstrated that proper water and fertilizer treatments could improve the growth and quality of Camellia species. This study uses a three-factor, five-level quadratic rotational combination experimental design to investigate the impact of water-fertilizer coupling on plant growth characteristics and the most suitable treatment for 24-month-old grafted C. petelotii seedlings. The experimental design includes irrigation levels [30%, 40%, 55%, 70%, 80% of field capacity (FC)], nitrogen application (0, 2.17, 5.43, 8.70, 10.87 g·plant⁻¹), and phosphorus application (0, 0.96, 2.40,… More >

Abstract Populus trinervis is native to China and plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the ecological balance of boreal and temperate forests. P. trinervis mainly grows in high-altitude areas. At present, there are limited studies on the response of P. trinervis to different light qualities, so it is necessary to investigate the photosynthetic physiological changes of P. trinervis in different light environments. In our study, P. trinervis was grown for 8 months under light filtered by three different colored films. The three treatments were blue film, green film, and white plastic film. The effects of blue (B), green (G), and white… More >

Abstract Michelia macclurei Dandy is a significant tree species that has extensive cultivation for forestry and horticulture purposes in southern China, owing to its economic and practical importance. Light quality influences plantlet growth and development during tissue culture. However, the growth characteristic and molecular regulation of M. macclurei under different light quality conditions are not well understood yet. In this study, we investigated the morphological, chlorophyll content, and transcriptomic responses of M. macclurei plantlets under different light-emitting diode (LED) qualities, including white, blue, and red light. The results showed that blue light significantly increased plant height (21.29%) and leaf… More >

Abstract Introduction: The detection rate of incidental renal masses is increasing. Historically these masses have been treated with extirpative surgery. Hence, there is little information on the growth rate, metastatic potential, and natural history of renal tumors. Through active surveillance, we study the natural history of renal masses and determine their growth rate and risk for metastasis.
Materials and methods: From 1997 to 2007, active surveillance was offered to select patients with renal masses with no evidence of metastasis. Based on imaging studies from the initial diagnosis to the last follow up, tumor growth rates were determined.
Results: Forty-six… More >

Abstract Objective: To characterize tumor growth of patients managed conservatively for renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: Patients electing conservative management of radiographically determined renal cell carcinomas were referred to a surveillance database. Exclusion criteria consisted of locally advanced disease (>T2) and those with metastatic disease. Clinical follow-up included renal imaging with ultrasound or computed tomography at least every 6 months.
Results: Twenty-two patients were originally managed conservatively, two of whom subsequently underwent nephrectomy because of rapid tumor growth. Mean follow-up was 26 months. Mean tumor volume and diameter at presentation was 62.4 cc and 4.08 cm respectively. Overall tumor growth More >
