[Characteristics of soybean climate potential productivity in frigid region and its response to climate change].

A comprehensive understanding of the evolution of soybean climate potential productivity and its response to climate change in Heilongjiang Province can offer reference and basis for further tapping soybean production potential and realizing stable and high yield of soybean in the frigid region. Based on meteorological data from 80 meteorological stations in Heilongjiang Province from 1961 to 2020, we estimated photosynthesis, light temperature, and climate potential productivity of soybean by the stepwise correction method, examined the spatiotemporal variations by spatial interpolation and statistical analysis methods, and analyzed the impact of changes in climate factors such as radiation, temperature, and precipitation on climate potential productivity. The results showed that during the study period, the average values of photosynthesis potential productivity (), light-temperature potential productivity (), and climate potential productivity () of soybean in Heilongjiang Province were 7533, 6444, and 3515 kg·hm, respectively.

[Establishment of indices for soybean low temperature damages in key growth stage in high cold region].

Establishment of indices for low temperature damage of soybeans is important for systematically analyzing the adaptation strategies to climate change and collaborative adaptation technology for disaster prevention and mitigation and other stresses in high cold region. Based on historical data of low temperature damage and phenophase of soybean from 1980 to 2020 and daily temperature data from 78 meteorological stations in Heilongjiang Province, we used GIS to match the phenophase and meteorological data, by considering the accumulated temperature anomaly in different growth stages, and constructed a comprehensive soybean low temperature damages index (CSCDI) in high cold region. Using K-S distribution fitting test and the lower limit value of confidence intervals, we constructed the level index of soybean low temperature damage.

The relationship between MHC-peptide interaction and resistance to virus in chickens.

Introduction: The MHC-peptide interaction has a subtle influence on host resistance to virus. This paper aims to study the relationship between MHC-peptide interaction and MHC-related virus-resistance.

Methods: By 3D homology modeling, the structure of chicken BF2 molecule BF2*0201 (PDB code: 4d0d) was studied and compared with the known structures of BF2 molecule BF2*0401 (PDB code: 4e0r) to elucidate the characteristics of BF2*0201-binding antigenic peptides.

[Time-series characteristics of drought and flood in spring soybean growing season and its effect on soybean yield in Heilongjiang Province, China].

Under the background of climate change, the spatial-temporal distribution of precipita-tion in Heilongjiang Province is uneven, and drought and flood frequently change, which is not conducive to the safety of soybean production for the province. To clarify the influence mechanism of drought and flood in the growing season on soybean yield in Heilongjiang Province, we analyzed the time-series characteristics of drought and flood in soybean growing season and its effect on soybean yield in different growth stages, based on data of daily precipitation from 60 meteorological stations during 1961 to 2018 and soybean yield in the same period, with the standardized precipitation index (SPI) as the drought and flood evaluation index. The results showed that, from 1961 to 2018, the influence range of drought in soybean growing season in Heilongjiang Province showed a weak decreasing trend, while that of flood showed a weak increasing trend.

Design and Evaluation of a Novel Multiplex Real-Time PCR Melting Curve Assay for the Simultaneous Detection of Nine Sexually Transmitted Disease Pathogens in Genitourinary Secretions.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) are a major cause of infertility, long-term disability, ectopic pregnancy, and premature birth. Therefore, the development of fast and low-cost laboratory STD diagnostic screening methods will contribute to reducing STD-induced reproductive tract damage and improve women's health worldwide. In this study, we evaluated a novel multiplex real-time PCR melting curve assay method for the simultaneous detection of 9 STD pathogens, including , and virus.

Molecular epidemiological investigation of G6PD deficiency by a gene chip among Chinese Hakka of southern Jiangxi province.

In southern China, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a significant health problem, and the incidence ranged from 0.5 to 4.08% in different Chinese population.

Anatomical and hemodynamic evaluations of the heart and pulmonary arterial pressure in healthy children residing at high altitude in China.

Objectives: Altitude-hypoxia induces pulmonary arterial hypertension and altered cardiac morphology and function, which is little known in healthy children at high altitude. We compared the cardiopulmonary measurements between the healthy children at 16 m and those at 3700 m in China and between the Hans and the Tibetans at 3700 m.

Methods: Echocardiography was assessed in 477 children (15 day-14 years) including 220 at 16 m and 257 at 3700 m.

[Analysis on published papers and its citation in Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control, 2008-2010].

Objective: To study the published papers and its citation of Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control, so as to provide evidence for the improvement of its quality.

Methods: The published papers in Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control from 2008 to 2010 were searched, biblimetrics analysis was employed, and the number of published papers, the proportion of fund articles, the cooperation rate of scientific research, the distribution of authors, the citations and their types, the half-life periods and the Price's index were analysed.

Results: From 2008 to 2010, the number of papers published were 217, 203, 210, respectively, and the proportions of fund articles were 32.

[Relationships between rice empty grain rate and low temperature at booting stage in Heilongjiang Province].

Six major rice varieties (Longdao 3, Kendao 12, Kongyu 131, Longdao 7, Longjing 16, and Songjing 6) in Heilongjiang Province were treated with low temperature 15 degrees C, 17 degrees C, and 19 degrees C for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days at booting stage, and the relationships between their empty grain rate per panicle and low temperature at booting stage were analyzed by using linear interpolation and linear regression methods. In the province, the critical temperature of sterile-type cool injury was 17 degrees C for sensitive varieties, and 16 degrees C for resistant varieties. The most sensitive period of rice to low temperature was 14-18 days before heading.

A thermosensitive chitosan-based hydrogel barrier for post-operative adhesions' prevention.

Post-operative peritoneal adhesions are common and serious complications for surgeons. They can cause pelvic pain, infertility, and potentially lethal bowel obstruction. We synthesized injectable hydrogels that formed by chemical modification through grafted hydrobutyl groups to chitosan chains.

[Responses of soil humidity on Songnen Plain to climate change in 1980-2005].

Based on the 1980-2005 observation data of ten-day soil humidity, monthly air temperature, and monthly precipitation during crop growth period (from May to September) from 16 agrometeorological stations on Songnen Plain, the spatiotemporal variation of surface soil (0-30 cm) humidity and its responses to the air temperature and precipitation in study area were analyzed by using statistical method. The results showed that on Songnen Plain, the surface soil humidity during crop growth period in 1980-2005 had a decreasing trend, and tended to be aridified, especially in the west and south parts of the Plain. Before the 1990s, the surface soil on the Plain was relatively humid, but thereafter, the humidity kept decreasing, and partial dryness occurred.
