Development of polymorphic simple sequence repeat markers in (Lycopodiaceae).

Premise: The natural population size of (Lycopodiaceae) has dramatically decreased and the species has become endangered due to overexploitation. Here, we developed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for to survey both its genetic diversity and population structure.

Methods And Results: Based on 177 individuals, 120 SSR primer pairs were developed and optimized from five regions of the transcriptomic data.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Knee Pain: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Context: Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of chronic knee pain (CKP) in older adults. Medical practitioners often manage CKP using both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. However, no studies have specifically focused on extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for treatment of CKP.

Efficacy of etoricoxib for ankylosing spondylitis: A protocol for systematic review of randomized controlled trial.

Background: Previous clinical trials have reported that etoricoxib has been utilized to treat ankylosing spondylitis (AS) effectively. However, no study systematically investigated the efficacy and safety of etoricoxib for patients with AS. In this systematic review, we will assess the efficacy and safety of etoricoxib for AS.

Effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave monotherapy for avascular necrosis of femoral head: A systematic review protocol of randomized controlled trial.

Background: Previous clinical studies have reported that extracorporeal shock wave (EPSW) monotherapy can effectively treat avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH). However, no systematic review has been conducted to assess its effectiveness and safety for patients with ANFH.

Perioperative holistic care more significantly reduces levels of anxiety and depression of pituitary tumor patients versus conventional care.

To compare the effect of perioperative holistic care versus conventional care on the levels of anxiety and depression of pituitary tumor patients at a single tertiary care center in China.We enrolled 100 patients who underwent transnaso-sphenoidal microsurgical resection of pituitary tumor at our institution between January 2017 and December 2017. The patients were assigned to the conventional care group (n = 50) and the holistic care group by the order of admission.

Paenibacillus maysiensis sp. nov., a Nitrogen-Fixing Species Isolated from the Rhizosphere Soil of Maize.

A novel bacterium SX-49 with nitrogen-fixing capability was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of maize. Phylogenetic analysis of nifH gene fragment and 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain SX-49 is a member of the genus Paenibacillus. Values of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were highest between SX-49 and P.

Research on regeneration methods of animal glue waste sand for foundry.

Sand moulds are used in the casting process. However, after heating, the binder in the sand loses the binding properties, and the most part of the foundry sand has to be discarded from the process. The waste foundry sand after the regeneration can be recycled, and reclamation can reduce the production cost and lower waste emissions.

Research on preparation of phosphate-modified animal glue binder for foundry use.

In this paper, three phosphates were used as modifiers to modify animal glue binder. The structural characteristics and thermal properties of animal glue binder treated with phosphates were studied by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography and derivative thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the modified animal glue binder had better sand tensile strength and lower viscosity than untreated animal glue binder.

[Surgical correction of congenital alveolar cleft: report of 10 cases].

The paper reports our experience in surgical correction of unilateral maxillary alveolar cleft complicated with oronasal fistula by iliac spongy bone marrow autografts in cases. Primary healing of the surgical wounds occurred in all the 10 cases and obvious improvement in external appearance was achieved 3 to 6 months after the surgery. Clear evidence of osteogenesis was found by X-ray examination, and the density of the newly generated bone was comparable to that of normal bones, without visible bounds between the autografts and the normal bones.
