The study aims to find a new and effective way to treat petroleum city's contaminated land, and promote the sustainable development of resource-based cities. Qianjiang City combined petroleum-contaminated land remediation with National Mine Park construction, took three modes to treat different degrees of contaminated soils in the Mine Park. Finding out that the petroleum-contaminated treatment site can become Mine Park popular science education base, while Mine Park construction could provide scientific research places and more funds for treatment project. It is conducive to resource-exhausted city to achieve Economic Transition. Combining petroleum-contaminated land treatment and Mine Park construction is a new practical and effective treatment model to restore the ecological environment in petroleum city.

Introduction:Healthcare advances in hemophilia have led to near-normal life expectancies in a disorder previously associated with early death. Unlike other disorders where the therapeutic goal is to restore deficiencies to normal levels, prophylaxis in hemophilia is used to achieve a plasma level of FVIII >1%, such that severe hemophilia may be reduced to a moderate/mild phenotype. With the development of new therapies, treatment goals are evolving from on-demand treatment or prevention of bleeds to one where the risk of bleeding is minimal/absent. To accelerate this development, a new treatment paradigm is needed, with consensus from key stakeholder communities, to facilitate a shared vision for the future of hemophilia healthcare.Methods:A panel of hemophilia providers, patient advocates, and industry representatives convened to develop a new treatment model that establishes specific treatment milestones and target outcomes in a stepwise fashion, culminating in a progressive definition of cure.Results:To represent the collective experience of hemophilia for patients and treaters around the world, the following treatment milestones were defined based on optimized outcomes: (i) Sustain Life – prevention of premature death; (ii) Minimal Joint Impairment – improved quality of life; participation in activities of daily living; (iii) Freedom From Spontaneous Bleeds – ability to engage in low-risk activities; (iv) Attainment of ‘Normal’ Mobility – participation in work, career, and family life without restriction; (v) Able to Sustain Minor Trauma – more unrestricted lifestyle; (vi) Ability to Sustain Major Surgery or Trauma Without Additional Intervention – no dependency on specialized healthcare; (vii) Normal Hemostasis – optimal health and well-being; and (viii) Cure – health equity.Conclusions:With milestones for disease management leading toward normalized hemostasis, this treatment model provides a vision to improve hemophilia care for all patients. And by providing achievable outcomes, the community—patients, treaters, and their industry partners—has a clear path to achieve that goal.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a complex disease state that is quite devastating to those affected. Improvement in diagnostic testing modalities and therapeutic techniques have led to significant advances in treatment for patients, but there is still a considerable gap in treatment success across providers and institutions. Where and who should be treating cases of PJI remains a debated topic. Many experts have proposed a new treatment model not dissimilar to that with which has been used to treat other complex disease states such as cancer for decades, and there is now a growing body of evidence to support such a strategy is superior. In this article, we evaluate the current body of literature on the topic and offer recommendations for the ideal treatment model for PJI: the multidisciplinary approach.
