Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter rhizosphere bacterial community characteristics to improve Cr tolerance of Acorus calamus.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant tolerance to heavy metal stress in terrestrial ecosystems. However, in wetland ecosystems, AMF can improve the tolerance of wetland plants to heavy metals by changing the structure and composition of rhizosphere bacterial communities, which is still rarely studied. In this study, we investigated the effects of AMF on the structure and composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of plants under different chromium concentrations. The results showed that Cr(Ⅵ) concentration in Acorus calamus. rhizosphere soil decreased by 12.6 % (5.6-21.7 %) on average after AMF inoculation, At the same time, it promoted the uptake of nutrients by A. calamus and increased soil carbon input. In addition, Cr stress decreased the bacterial community diversity and abundance index by 9.8 % (1.6-18.1 %) and 24.5 % (17.3-27.6 %) on average. On the contrary, the rhizosphere soil bacterial diversity and abundance index increased by 7.3 % (2.2-19.1 %) and 13.9 % (6.0-20.9 %) on average after AMF inoculation. Moreover, compared with the non-inoculated AMF group, the bacterial community structure of A. calamus rhizosphere changed by 24.6 % under Cr stress, The common number of species increased by 6.4 %. In addition, after inoculation of AMF significantly promote the growth of a large number of bacteria related to organic degradation, plant growth, and oxidative stress, increased soil carbon input improved the soil microenvironment. Meanwhile, After AMF inoculation, the Number of edges, Number of Nodes, Average degree, and Average Path length in the symbiotic network of rhizosphere soil bacterial community increased by 34.6 %, 10 %, 44.3 %, and 26.4 %, respectively. Therefore, it offers a possibility that AMF can enhance the tolerance of wetland plants to soil Cr pollution by improving the structure and composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere soils of wetland plants, which provide a basis for wetland plants to repair soil Cr pollution.

Effective analysis of sixty-five patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection operated under different cooling tempera / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

Objective To comparatively analyze effect of different cooling temperature on postoperative results of patients with Stanford type A aortic disaection underwent surgical treatment.Methods Clinical data of 65 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection perforred aortic root shaping,ascending aorta and total aortic arch replacement combined with stented elephant trunk technique from April 2007 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the cooling temperature,the patients were divided into two groups:group A and group B.The cooling temperature was 20 ℃ to 24 ℃ in group A and 25 ℃ to 2.8 ℃ in group B.Extracorporeal circulation time,circulatory arrest periods,volume of postoperative drainage,ventilation time and cerebral complications incidence after operation were analyzed contrastively.Results There was significant difference between two groups about extracorporeal circulation time,circulatory arrest periods,volume of postoperative drainage,ventilationtime and transient neurological dysfunction(TND) incidence after operation.There was no significant difference between two groups in postoperative pemunent neurological dysfunction (PND),use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and mortality.Conclusion It is safe to appropriately increase the standard of cooling temperature through operating skillfully under the circumstance of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.It,to some extent,shortens operating time and decreases injuries on patients,time of recovery,volume of blood transfusion and complications.

Genescan analysis of non-small cell lung cancer in the long arm of chromosome 6 / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate if there are microsatellite loci in the long arm of chromosome 6 that have close relationship with non-small cell lung cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Multiple PCR approach was used to analyze the 18 loci in the long arm of chromosome 6. The PCR products were analyzed in PAGE, and then the electrophoresis maps were analyzed with Gene Scan(TM) and Genotyper(TM).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were different frequencies of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in different loci (varying from 3.85% to 38.45%). The total frequency of LOH in 41 gastric cancers was 58.5%(24/41). Eight loci with the LOH frequency higher than 20% were mainly located in 2 regions: 6q24 and 6q27. The accurate location is 6q24-6q25.3 [D6S1699(35%), D6S409(23.33%), D6S441(33.33%)] and 6q26-27 [D6S1550(38.45%), D6S264(20%), D6S1585(25%), D6S446(33.33%), D6S281(30.77%)].</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There may be tumor suppressor genes located in the region of 6q24 and 6q27, which have close relationship with non-small cell lung cancer.</p>
