Coal is not only an important energy source in China but also a major source of air pollution. Because of this, China's national sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) emissions have been the highest in the world for many years, and since the 1990s, the territory of China's south and southwest has become the third largest acid-rain-prone region in the world. In order to control SO(2) emissions, the Chinese government has formulated and promulgated a series of policies and regulations, but it faces great difficulties in putting them into practice. In this retrospective look at the history of SO(2) control in China, we found that Chinese SO(2) control policies have become increasingly strict and rigid. We also found that the environmental policies and regulations are more effective when central officials consistently give environmental protection top priority. Achieving China's environmental goals, however, has been made difficult by China's economic growth. Part of this is due to the practice of environmental protection appearing in the form of an ideological "campaign" or "storm" that lacks effective economic measures. More recently, better enforcement of environmental laws and regulations has been achieved by adding environmental quality to the performance assessment metrics for leaders at all levels. To continue making advances, China needs to reinforce the economic and environmental assessments for pollution control projects and work harder to integrate economic measures into environmental protection. Nonetheless, China has a long way to go before economic growth and environmental protection are balanced.
Purpose: Try to apply augmented reality (AR) technique which based on visual recognition artificial marks in the treatment of unilateral Orbitozygomatic Maxillary complex fractures (OZMF), and to explore the feasibility and the application value of the AR for assisting the oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) treatment. Methods: Based on the AR application JSARToolKit developed on the web, and combining with the self-designed tooth-borne type visual recognition artificial marks to display three-dimensional (3D) image of the region of interest (ROI), virtually designed the position and direction of plate on the jaw and helped OZMF surgery. According to some results to evaluate the postoperative effects, such as imaging, occlusion, facial appearance recovery, patients’ satisfaction and operation time. Results: The AR achieved the 3D image of ROI in real time, satisfied information enhancement of real scene, broadened the surgeon's horizons and improved the 3D recognition ability of maxillofacial tissue. After operation, patients had no discomforts, fracture reduction were well healed through imaging examination, and the titanium plate position was consistent with the preoperative planning. What is more, patients’ facial appearance and occlusal function recovered well, significantly shorten the intraoperation time. Conclusion: Augmented reality technology is an effective method for OZMF treatment but there are still many technical difficulties which need to be get over, and its application in maxillofacial surgery and relevant basic theories are both worth further exploring.
The digital diagnosis and treatment technology is an effective method for functional treatment of BML patients and its application could achieve personalized, minimally invasive and precise treatment and save intraoperation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
