ABSTRACT
Cinnamomum migao plants often face different degrees of drought in karst habitats, which can lead to plants’ death, especially in the seedling stage. Widespread of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in karst soils have the potential to address this drought, which is a threat to C. migao seedlings. We inoculated C. migao seedlings with spores from Glomus lamellosum and Glomus etunicatum, two AM fungi widely distributed in karst soils, to observe seedling growth response after simulated drought. Our results showed that 40 g of G. lamellosum and G. etunicatum significantly promoted the growth of C. migao seedlings, 120 days after inoculation. Following a 15-day drought treatment, root colonization of the seedlings with G. lamellosum or G. etunicatum had lower the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the accumulation of enzymes and osmotic substances in the seedlings. The relative water content in different organs (roots, stems, and leaves) of the drought-stressed seedlings was higher in plants with G. lamellosum or G. etunicatum than in plants without AM fungi colonization. Our results showed that inoculation with AM fungi was an effective means to improve the drought resistance of C. migao seedlings.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors on impact of early dislocation after hip arthroplasty,and provide patients with individ-ualized treatment programs. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of displaced femoral neck fractures in 247 patients who accepted hip arthroplasty from January 2006 to December 2011,and a total of 8 potential factors associated with occurrence of early dislocation were evaluated by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The univariate analysis showed that sex,surgical approach and femoral head size were correlated with early dislocation (P<0. 05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1. 862),posterolateral surgical approach (OR=3. 478),the use of 22 mm femoral heads (OR=2. 558)were independent risk factors (P<0. 05). And use of≥30 mm femoral heads(OR=0. 635) was a protective factor(P<0. 05). Conclusion Occurrence of early dislo-cation after hip arthroplasty is mainly correlated with many factors,various risk factors should be taken into account in preoperative and intrao-perative and choose the optimal individualized treatment plan.
