Effects of Partial Organic Substitution for Chemical Fertilizer on Antibiotic Residues in Peri-Urban Agricultural Soil in China.

Recycling of organic wastes in agricultural ecosystems to partially substitute chemical fertilizer is recommended to improve soil productivity and alleviate environmental degradation. However, livestock manure- and sewage sludge-derived amendments are widely known to potentially carry antibiotic residues. The aim of this study is to investigate how substituting organic fertilizer for chemical fertilizer affects soil quality and antibiotic residues in agricultural soil, as well as their tradeoffs.

Comparison on effectiveness of trans-septal suturing versus nasal packing after septoplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review applied meta-analytic procedures to evaluate the curative effect of trans-septal suturing versus nasal packing after septoplasty. Computerized search of the published literature in PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, WANFANG, CNKI databases. Randomized trials investigating trans-septal suturing versus nasal packing following septoplasty in patients with deviated nasal septum.

[Extended inferior meatal maxillary antrostomy through inferior turbinate reversing approach for maxillary lesions].

Objective: To explore the feasibility of the extended inferior meatal maxillary antrostomy through inferior turbinate reversing approach.

Methods: Eight patients underwent extended inferior meatal maxillary antrostomy through inferior turbinate reversing approach for maxillary sinus lesions. The indications, surgical management and outcomes of the surgery were presented.

[Endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforation with acellular dermal matrix and pedicled mucoperichondrial flap].

Objective: To introduce the method and evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforation with acellular dermal matrix and pedicled mucoperichondrial flap.

Methods: Twelve patients with perforation of nasal septum were encountered since February 2006 to October 2010. The most common symptoms and sings were nasal obstruction and crusting at the margin of the perforation.
