[Influence of the Composition of the Initial Mixtures on the Physicochemical and Biological Properties and Spectral Characteristics of Composts].

In this work, biogas residues, the remnant of the anaerobic digestion, was used for composting with livestock manure as the co-substrate. It is important for improving the soil quality in China, because the negative influence of biogas residues being utilized directly as organic fertilizer (a mainstream way of disposing biogas residues in China) on the soil could be eliminated or mitigated via composting. The composition of composting substrate has a great influence on the composting process.

[Diagnostic value of the signal intensity on T1-weighted images of MRI and 1H MRS for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy].

Objective: To study the diagnostic value of the signal intensity on T1-weighted images of MRI and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

Methods: Thirty full-term neonates with HIE admitted into the Department of Neonatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Xi'an Jiaotong University between January, 2007 and December 2009 were enrolled. Ten normal neonates born at the same period served as control group.
