The limestone karst area of South China is a major biodiversity hotspot of global terrestrial biomes. During extensive field work on the Guangxi limestone formations, two unknown species of Gesneriaceae were collected. After conducting a comprehensive study of the literature and herbarium specimens, Primulina davidioides and P. hiemalis are recognized as two species new to science, and described and illustrated here. P. davidioides is morphologically close to P. lunglinensis based on the shape of the leaf and flower, but it can be easily distinguished by the shape of the bracts, corolla and stigma, indumentum of peduncles, pedicels and pistil and number of staminodes. P. hiemalis is closely relate to P. luzhaiensis in vegetative appearance, but differs in the shape of the calyx and stigma, number of bracts and staminodes, indumentum of the leaf blade and peduncle, and position of stamens in the corolla tube. Considering that not enough is known about their populations, it is proposed that their conservation statuses should currently be classed as data deficient (DD) according to the IUCN Red List Category and Criteria.
RESUMO
PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of our protocol that include the restoration of mobility using open release combined with external fixation and stability using ligament repair, to determine the optimal timing of surgery, and to investigate whether resection and replacement of the radial head are associated with different outcomes. METHODS: Twenty-six patients with elbow stiffness after operation of terrible triad injury of the elbow were treated with our protocol. We assessed the optimal timing of the operation by comparing outcomes between the early treatment group and the delayed treatment group. The comparison was performed to investigate whether the results differed between resection and replacement of the radial head. Stability of the elbow, range of motion (ROM), Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), and complications were assessed for each patient. RESULTS: The mean interval from the initial surgery to the index procedure was 13 months, and the mean follow-up period was 29 months. The MEPS increased from a mean of 65 points to 94 points. Twenty-five of 26 patients achieved stability of the elbow, and all patients achieved functional ROM. There were no significant differences between the two subgroups with respect to ROM and stability of the elbow. CONCLUSION: Our protocol can restore mobility and stability. Resection and replacement of the radial head are both feasible using this protocol. Lastly, the timing of the surgery was not very rigorous, and the surgical delay may be insignificant. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV; Case Series; Treatment Study.
