However the local population was suffering from the inadequate management of its host plants, Celtis sinensis Persson. This study reports the restoration possibility of the beetle by the adequate management of its host plants.

From December 1981 to June 1987, thirty one patients suffering from low output syndrome after cardiac operation received cardiac assist with intraaortic balloon pump. Fifteen patients survived [survival rate 48.4%]. After receiving assist with IABP, urine output increased, heart rate and central venous pressure decreased, reflecting improved myocardial performance. Poor preoperative hemodynamic and functional status resulted in poor survival despite of assist with IABP. Poor pre-IABP hemodynamic status also resulted in high mortality after assist with IABP. Our experience suggests that IABP should be introduced early in the course of worsening to get good result.

Boney metastasis may lead to terrible suffering from debilitating pain. The most likely malignancies that spread to bone are prostate, breast, and lung. Painful osseous metastases are typically associated with multiple episodes of breakthrough pain which may occur with activities of daily living, weight bearing, lifting, coughing, and sneezing. Almost half of these breakthrough pain episodes are rapid in onset and short in duration and 44% of episodes are unpredictable. Treatment strategies include: analgesic approaches with "triple opioid therapy", bisphosphonates, chemotherapeutic agents, hormonal therapy, interventional and surgical approaches, steroids, radiation (external beam radiation, radiopharmaceuticals), ablative techniques (radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation), and intrathecal analgesics.

When the perforation of intrathoracic esophagus occurs in the presence of preexisting esophageal stricture, aggressive and definitive therapy often provides the only chance for patient salvage. Two adults suffering from intrathoracic esophageal perforation with underlying stricture underwent transhiatal esophagectomy. The perforations were due to esophageal instrumentation. Restoration of alimentary continuity with a primary cervical pharyngogastric anastomosis was carried out in one patient. Another patient underwent a cervical esophagostomy and had a subsequent colonic interposition 3 months later.

Normality is one of the most common assumptions made in sampling and statistical inference procedures without suffering from lack of attention. Its results may lead to an invalid conclusion. We present several testing procedures that can be used to evaluate the effects of departure from normality using concrete examples by hand or with the aid of Minitab. The goal is to influence prospective teachers in order to learn statistical concepts and techniques for testing normality on the basis of the didactical theory.
