Screening of biocontrol bacteria against soft rot disease of Colocasia esculenta (L.) schott and its field application.

Soft rot disease is a major pathogenic bacteria of Fuding areca taro and has caused serious losses. This study aims to screen biocontrol bacterial against soft rot disease. A total of 53 bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil, nine of which exhibited good biocontrol effect against the pathogenic bacteria of soft rot disease as seen in antagonistic screening of biocontrol bacteria from corm in vitro.

Association between renal urolithiasis after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy therapy and new-onset hypertension: an updated meta-analysis.

Objective: The long-term effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is still controversial. A previous meta-analysis showed no association between new-onset hypertension and entire upper urinary urolithiasis after SWL. Recently, there have been some reports on this topic.

[Studies on drug release from aminophylline konjac glucomannan matrix tablet].

Objective: In vitro aminophylline release from matrix tablets with konjac glucomannan (KGM) were studied to elevate the feasibility of KGM used as carrier materials to prepare matrix tablets.

Method: KGM hydrophilic matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method with aminophylline as the model drug. The effects of test methods, pH values, ionic strength of dissolution media and rotation speeds on drug release were studied by in vitro dissolution experiment.
