First Report of Causing Stem and Leaf Rot on Muskmelon in China.

Muskmelon ( L.) is an important economic crop in China, which is planted on more than 376, 000 hectares with over 13 million tons of annual fruit production. In February 2020, a serious bacterial stem and leaf rot disease on muskmelon plants was observed in greenhouses in Liguo Town, Ledong County, Hainan Province, China (18.

Impact of diabetes on the prognosis of hip fracture: a cohort study in the Chinese population.

Background: Diabetes has been associated with increased risk of fracture and impaired fracture healing. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of diabetes on perioperative complications, length of stay and ambulatory ability recovery in individuals with hip fracture, and to determine whether changes could be made to improve treatment outcome.

Methods: The study included 707 hip fracture patients treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between July 2009 and December 2010.

Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Its Associated Factors among Older Men with Type 2 Diabetes.

This study investigated the prevalence of osteoporosis and its associated factors in old men with T2DM to identify risk factors for low BMD. We enrolled 93 old men (≥60 years of age) with T2DM and 125 healthy old men (controls) and collected data of their lifestyle, medical history, bone densitometry, body weight, height, and blood pressure. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses.

Theoretical study of EPR spectra for Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 single crystal.

The relationship between the impurity structures and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters D, (a-F) have been studied by diagonalizing the complete energy matrices for Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 single crystal in a trigonal ligand field within a weak-field-representation. It is shown that the local lattice structure around Mn2+ ion in [Mg(H2O)6]SnCl6 exhibits an elongation distortion which is different at 290 K and 77 K. The local structure parameters R=2.
