Effectiveness of transverse tibial bone transport in treatment of diabetic foot ulcer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcerations (DFUs) are a common but highly morbid complication of long-standing diabetes, carrying high rates of associated major amputation and mortality. Transverse tibial bone transport (TTT) has recently been applied for treatment of DFUs with the aim of accelerating wound healing. This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TTT in patients with DFUs.

[Effects of Biochar and Straw on Soil NO Emission from a Wheat Maize Rotation System].

The effects of biochar and straw return on soil NO emissions were studied in the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system of intensively farmed land in North China to provide a theoretical basis for NO emission reduction and the efficient straw utilization. The experiment included the following four treatments:① Control (CK); ② Biochar application at a rate of 9.0 t·(hm·a) (C); ③ Straw return (SR); and ④ Straw return plus biochar application at a rate of 9.

[Nitrogen uptake rate and use efficiency by rice under different levels of the controlled-release N fertilizers (CRF) in the Nansi Lake basin].

The nitrogen (N) fertilizers overused or misused are the main contributors for water eutrophication of the Nansi Lake in eastern China. A field experiment with different application levels of controlled-release N fertilizer (CRF) was carried out at a rice field in the Nansi lake basin to provide information on the nitrogen uptake rate and use efficiency by rice with CRF application at different growth stages of rice. The fertilization levels for the controlled fertilizer in this study were 0, 300, 337.

[Unspecified peripheral T cell lymphoma with distinct lymphoid follicules].

Objective: To investigate the morphological features and immunophenotype of unspecified peripheral T cell lymphoma with distinct lymphoid follicular growth pattern.

Methods: Three cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma with special pathohistological features were collected. Morphologic analysis and immunohistochemical staining for CD3, CD45RO, CD43, CD20, CD79a, cyclinD1, bcl-2, CD4, CD8 and S-100 were performed.
