FEATURES OF COMPUTER SPATIAL VISUALIZATION AND HISTOTOPOGRAPHY OF ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYSTS OF THE JAWS WITH THEIR DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS by D.S. Avetikov, V.M. Havryliev, D.V. Steblovkyi, O.A. Toropov, P.I. Yatsenko, K.P. Lokes

“…In the published materials, there are isolated data on histological studies on visualization of odontogenic keratocysts without signs of mineralization or calcification inside the lesion, which complicates differential diagnosis with other neoplasms of the jaw bone tissue. Most authors believe that this phenomenon is associated with a high concentration of viscous dense keratin protein in the lumen of the cyst. …”

Biochar Input to Saline-Alkali Farmland Can Improve Soil Health and Crop Yield: A Meta-Analysis by Liqiang Zhang, Baoyin Bate, Jinhu Cui, Yudi Feng, Jianning Yu, Zhengguo Cui, Hongyu Wang, Qiuzhu Li

“…The results show that adding biochar to saline-alkali farmland increases the TOC in soil (44.0%) and water utilization efficiency (8.7%), and decreases soil salinity (−9.6%), certain salt ion contents in particular (Na⁺, 12.5%; Cl⁻, 23.4%; HCO₃⁻, −17.7%), along with soil pH (−2.2%), resulting in a 20.8% higher crop yield. Applying shell biochar at a rate of 10–20 t·ha⁻¹ for monoculture is the most promising way to bolster the yield in severely saline-alkali irrigated farmland. …”
