Christmas Tree Species

A survey was developed evaluating the preference of consumers for purchasing three alternative Christmas tree species. Trees included: Pinus virginiana, a traditional Alabama Christmas tree; a containerized Ilex × `Nellie R. Stevens'; and a cut × Cupressocyparis leylandii. Virginia pine and leyland cypress were rated higher than the holly. The average rating on a scale of 1 to 5 for the Virginia pine and the leyland cypress was 3.75 and 3.63, respectively. Consumers rated the holly an average of 3.29. A rating of 1 indicated a strong negative response and a rating of 5 offered a strong positive response for buying the tree. The median rating for all three species was 4, indicating that 50% of the participants rated them a 4 or higher. The mode, or most frequent rating, was 5 for all three species. Although the average rating for the holly was lower than the average for the Virginia pine and leyland cypress, the holly and the leyland cypress may have a market niche with >50% of the respondents indicating that they would purchase the trees.

Abstract Fraser fir [Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.], the most important Christmas tree species in North Carolina, is rapidly gaining popularity nationwide. It is propagated by seed, but special needs such as genetic improvement will involve use of grafting, air layering, propagation by stem cuttings, and micropropagation (tissue culture). This paper summarizes research conducted to date on Fraser fir concerning these techniques in addition to information regarding seed production and sexual propagation.

Community service has been carried out in RW 12 Kel. Merjosari Malang to increase the potential and participation of the community in health environment. The increase in the number of Covid-19 patients in Malang Raya, about 3,378 people, presents that the Covid-19 virus has increased drastically both number of patients confirmed positive and patients who died. The problems faced by partners are not understanding the Covid-19 disease, weak resources, limited funds, and difficulty accessing information. The method is socialization by conducting discussions, optimizing citizen resources, monitoring and evaluation. The result is conducting discussions, developing resources, providing training, providing counseling and assistance. Citizen involvement is to provide a place to install spraying equipment, maintain spraying facilities, provide a place to conduct training, provide human resources ready to be trained voluntarily. Citizens' anxiety and restlessness were slightly reduced by increased community understanding. Citizens give a positive assessment of service. This is proven by the percentage of residents giving a positive rating on average 95.68%, consisting of 95.33% giving a positive response, and 4.67% giving a negative response.

5593 Background: The role of induction chemotherapy in locally advanced and resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma has not been well issued. Methods: A prospective, open label, parallel, and interventional randomized control trail has been performed to evaluate the induction chemotherapy of TPF protocol in resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients at clinical stage III and IVA. The patients received two cycles of TPF induction chemotherapy (75 mg/m2 docetaxel d1, 75mg/m2 cisplatin d1, and 750mg/m2 5-fluorouracil d1-5) followed by radical surgery and post-operative radiotherapy with a dose from 54 to 66 Gy (the experimental group) or surgery and post-operative radiotherapy (the control group). Post-surgical pathologic examination was performed to determine a positive response or negative response. A positive response was defined as absence of any tumor cells (pathologic complete response) or presence of scattered foci of a few tumor cells (minimal residual disease with <10% viable tumor cells). The primary endpoint is the survival rate; the secondary endpoint is the local control and safety. This study has been approved by institutional ethics committee at Ninth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Survival analysis was conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 256 patients were enrolled in this trail and 224 patients (111 in experiment group and 113 in control group) finished the whole treatment protocol. After a median follow-up of 21 months (ranging 6-43 m). The pathologic positive response rate was 29.7% (33/111), and negative response rate was 70.3% (78/111). The patients with positive response had a better disease free survival (38.5±2.1m, 95%CI 34.4-42.6m, P=0.003) compared with those with negative response (24.6±2.1m, 95%CI 20.6-28.7m) and control group (31.0±1.6m, 95%CI 27.9-34.1m). The toxicity of induction chemotherapy could be tolerated. Conclusions: Pathologic positive response to TPF induction chemotherapy could benefit the patients with locally advanced and resectable OSCC. However, further long-term follow-up is needed to confirm the benefit on survival and local control.

Virginia creeper and wild grape are troublesome perennial vines that often infest Christmas tree plantations. Field studies were conducted to evaluate Fraser fir injury and Virginia creeper and wild grape control with directed applications of triclopyr (1,680 g ai/ha) alone and in combination with 2,4-D (1,120 g ai/ha), clopyralid (280 g ai/ha), and halosulfuron (36 g ai/ha). Additional treatments included 2,4-D, clopyralid, glyphosate (1,120 g ai/ha), halosulfuron, hexazinone (560 g ai/ha), mesotrione (105 g ai/ha), and sulfometuron (71 g ai/ha) applied alone; and a mixture of hexazinone plus mesotrione. In the triclopyr-containing treatments, Fraser fir injury ranged from 6 to 13% at 1 mo after treatment (MAT) and was 4 to 8% at 11 MAT. Leader growth was not impacted by the herbicide treatments. At 11 MAT, all triclopyr-containing treatments controlled Virginia creeper 93 to 98% and wild grape 98 to 100%, which was greater than the control observed with glyphosate at 63 and 59%, respectively. Virginia creeper and wild grape control with 2,4-D was 88 to 90%. Clopyralid, halosulfuron, hexazinone, hexazinone plus mesotrione, mesotrione, and sulfometuron provided less than 66% control of both perennial vines. Directed applications of triclopyr-containing treatments or 2,4-D were effective management tools for selective removal of wild grape and Virginia creeper from Fraser fir Christmas tree plantations. Additional research is needed on the potential sensitivity of other commonly grown Christmas tree species to triclopyr-containing treatments.

Phototactic Behaviour

Summary The pine wood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD). To understand the light influence on PWN, we investigated its phototactic behaviour. Our data indicated the mixed population of propagative PWN had a positive response to red, orange, yellow, green, blue and white lights, but a weak negative response to violet. For age-synchronised propagative nematodes, however, phototactic behavioural features changed with development. Interestingly, the dispersal fourth-stage juveniles (JIV) showed negative response to all tested lights, which was almost completely the reverse of the propagative fourth-stage juveniles (J4). Further bioassays proved that green, blue and white lights suppressed the host transmission of dispersal JIV from vector beetle to healthy pine branches. Our results revealed that night could be the peak of host transmission. With the results of previous studies, we speculate volatiles from the host tree and light may play pull-and-push roles to accelerate the host transmission of B. xylophilus.

Objective: To evaluate the pulp vitality in teeth adjacent to the cleft area submitted to orthodontic movement into the alveolar graft area in individuals with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP). Design: Cold sensitivity, vertical, and horizontal percussion tests were conducted on the teeth adjacent to the cleft and the contralateral teeth. Setting: Endodontics Sector in the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP). Patients: One hundred patients with CUCLP and hypodontia of the upper lateral incisor in orthodontic movement and after successful alveolar bone graft in the cleft area. Main Outcome Measures: The cleft study group (SG) was composed of 200 teeth, adjacent to the cleft area. The control group (CG) consisted of 200 contralateral teeth. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test for comparisons between groups ( P < .05). Results: In the SG, 82.0% of teeth presented positive response to the cold sensitivity testing, 13.5% had negative response, and 4.5% had marked response, with statistically significant difference in relation to the CG. The vertical and horizontal percussion tests on teeth in the SG revealed the same results, in which 95.0% presented negative response and 5.0% responded positively, without significant difference compared to teeth in the CG, for both tests. Conclusions: Teeth adjacent to the cleft area presented changes in the physiological conditions of the pulp, which were observed by reduction of positive response to the cold sensitivity testing or presence of pulp hypersensitivity in cases of marked response.
