Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus addition on growth and leaf nitrogen metabolism of alfalfa in alkaline soil in Yinchuan Plain of Hetao Basin.

Alkaline soil is widely distributed in China. Its rational utilization is an effective measure to solve land shortage and improve the environment. Alfalfa is characterized by strong salt and alkali tolerance and high yield and protein content. Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the main nutrients for plant growth, and N metabolism is one of the primary forms of plant metabolism, which plays a vital role in quality and yield formation. The exploration of the effect of N and P on N metabolism and alfalfa growth will provide a theoretical basis for scientific fertilization for alfalfa in the alkaline soil of the Yinchuan Plain of the Hetao Basin. Therefore, a 2-year experiment of N and P addition was conducted. Six treatments were set up with a randomized block design, including without N (WN), medium N (MN), high N (HN), without P (WP), medium P (MP), and high P (HP). It was found that the MN and MP treatments increased plant height, stem diameter, stem/leaf, dry/fresh, and dry matter of alfalfa. The HN and HP treatments inhibited alfalfa biomass formation. The MN and MP treatments increased key products and enzymes of leaf N metabolism of alfalfa and promoted activities of leaf nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthase (GS), glutamate synthase (GOGAT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), and glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT), and inhibited activities of leaf protease of alfalfa. The MN and MP treatments increased contents of leaf N, P, ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3 --N), total chlorophyll, and protein and reduced leaf chlorophyll a/b and amino acid, results after HN and HP treatments were opposite. The correlation among leaf P, N, NO3 --N, amino acid, and protein reached significant levels (P < 0.01). It is suggested that MN and MP treatments can improve the yield and quality of alfalfa by increasing key products and enzymes of N metabolism and can be adopted to promote alfalfa production in the alkaline soil of the Yinchuan Plain of the Hetao Basin.

Response of bean cultures' water use efficiency against climate warming in semiarid regions of China.

Farm crop growing and high efficiency water resource utilizing are directly influenced by global warming, and a new challenge will be given to food and water resource security. A simulation experiment by farm warming with infrared ray radiator was carried out, and the result showed photosynthesis of broad bean was significantly faster than transpiration during the seedling stage, ramifying stage, budding stage, blooming stage and podding stage when the temperate was increased by 0.5-1.5 °C. But broad bean transpiration was faster than photosynthesis during the budding stage, blooming stage and podding stage when the temperature was increased by 1.5 °C above. The number of grain per hill and hundred-grain weight were significantly increased when the temperature was increased by 0.5-1.0 °C. But they significantly dropped and finally the yield decreased when the temperature was increased by 1.0 °C above. The broad bean yield decreased by 39.2-88.4% when the temperature was increased by 1.5-2.0 °C. The broad bean water use efficiency increased and then decreased with temperature rising. The water use efficiency increased when the temperature was increased by 1.0 °C below, and it quickly decreased when the temperature was increased by 1.0 °C above. In all, global warming in the future will significantly influence the growth, yield and water use efficiency of bean cultures in China's semiarid regions.

Clinical Analysis of Post-stroke Depression / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo explore the incidence and relative factors of post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods128 patients with acute stroke were evaluated and investigated by Hamilton Depression Rating Scales (HAMD) and Neurologic Deficit Scale (NDS).ResultsThe incidence rate of PSD was 39.0%. PSD had positively relations to degrees of neurologic deficits and the location of focus, and not relation to sex.ConclusionPSD is the common complication of stroke and positively related to degrees of neurological deficits and the location of focus.

Adjunctive effect of wavefront aberration on diagnosis and defined operative method of retinal detachment / 中国组织工程研究

To evaluate the application of wavefront aberration in diagnosis and operation of retinal detachment.Totally 17 rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients(17 eyes),who received outer scleral cryocoagulation,silicon cushion and(or)intravitreous injection of gas,were selected from July 2004 to February 2005 at First Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University.These cases were all retinal detachment in one eye.Of the 17 patients,10 were diagnosed as having myopic eye retinal detachment and 7 were non-myopic eye retinal detachment.The wavefront aberrations of these patients were checked with wavefront aberrometer produced by German Wavelight Laser Technology AG Company before operation,1 and 3 months after operation,and compared with the other eyes.The results showed that ①Root mean square(RMS)1,RMS3-RMS6 and root of mean square of higher aberration(RMSH)were significantly higher than those in the control group before operation(P 0.05).②RMS1,RMS3 and RMSH in the myopic retinal detachment eyes were lower than those in the non-myopic retinal detachment eyes before operation(P

Enhancing the safety of corneal tissue after the excimer laser refractive ablation / 眼科

The corneal refractive surgery is invented and improved constantly from 1970's till now,and the excimer laser corneal refractive surgery is the important method for correcting myopia.The corneal safety of post-operation long time is the key point and always is worried by surgeon due to the surgical procedure directly on the normal corneal tissue by different types of flap and ablation. From the corneal safety of view,the advantages and disadvantages of different corneal refractive surgeries were compared and the indications for different methods were mentioned in order to provide rational clinical data.
