In order to better formulate flood prevention and disaster mitigation measures and reduce the impact of urban flood on social development, it is necessary to conduct a scientific and accurate flood hazard assessment. The development of big data technology has brought new opportunities for flood hazard assessment. This study used a coupling model to simulate urban flood, and used the HR method to classify flood hazard. The dynamic change process of two types of Points-of-Interest(POIs) for catering services and living services under different flood hazard degrees were counted. The results showed that (1) In the northern part of the basin, mountainous, impervious ground and the lack of effective drainage channels have combined to cause more serious floods; (2) The flood hazard were mainly low-degree in the study area. Moderate flood hazard mainly occurred in farmland and built-up land. High-degree and extreme-degree flood hazard mainly occurred on both sides of rivers in the northwest of the basin; (3) Affected by the rainfall pattern, the number of POI affected by flood presented the characteristics of “three stages” under four flood hazard degrees; (4) The POIs of the two services was most seriously affected by the flood when the rainfall just stopped; (5) In terms of the proportion of POIs affected by floods, the impact of floods on the two industries is basically the same, but from the perspective of the number of POIs affected by floods, catering services will be more affected; (6) The spatial location of the POIs led to a slight difference in the trend of the number of POIs under high-degree and extreme-degree flood hazard. This study provided a new method for urban flood hazard dynamic assessment, which could help decision makers formulate more targeted flood prevention and disaster mitigation measures

A preliminary study of human mammary carcinoma on the ultrastructural level is reported for a metastatic, subcutaneous nodule, obtained as a surgical biopsy. The patient's tumor had responded favorably to a series of hormonal therapies, including androgens, estrogens, progestins, and corticoids for recurring nodules over eight years. The pertinent nodule was removed from the region of the gluteal maximus, two weeks following stilbestrol therapy. It was about 1.5 cms in diameter, and was located within the dermis. Pieces from it were fixed immediately in cold fixatives: phosphate buffered osmium tetroxide, glutaraldehyde, and paraformaldehyde. Embedment in each case was in Vestopal W. Contrasting was done with combinations of uranyl acetate and lead hydroxide.

A new strain of mice, which had arisen by mutation from a dystrophic mouse colony was designated ‘mdx’, because the genetic defect, which manifests itself in brief periods of muscle destruction followed by episodes of muscle regeneration appears to be X-linked. Further studies of histopathological changes in muscle from ‘mdx’ mice at the light microscopic or electron microscopic levels have been published, but only one preliminary study has been on the tibialis anterior (TA) of ‘mdx’ mice less than four weeks old. Lesions in the ‘mdx’ mice vary between different muscles, and centronucleation of fibers in all muscles studied so far appears to be especially prominent in older mice. Lesions in young ‘mdx’ mice have not been studied extensively, and the results appear to be at variance with one another. The degenerative and regenerative aspects of the lesions in the TA of 23 to 26-day-old ‘mdx’ mice appear to vary quantitatively.

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
