Distribution patterns of (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes, Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) species complexes related to diseased leaves and soil habitats during leaf blight outbreak season in plantations in southern China.

Calonectria leaf blight caused by species is one of the most important diseases associated with plantations in Asia and South America. This study aimed to clarify the distribution patterns of species residing in different species complexes associated with diseased trees and soils during leaf blight outbreak season in plantations in southern China. In this study, 482 isolates obtained from diseased trees and soils under these trees in eight sampling sites in three provinces were identified by DNA sequence analyses of , , , and gene regions.

Species Diversity and Distribution Characteristics of in Five Soil Layers in a Plantation.

The genus includes pathogens of various agricultural, horticultural, and forestry crops. Species of are commonly collected from soils, fruits, leaves, stems, and roots. Some species of isolated from soils are considered as important plant pathogens.

Species Diversity, Mating Strategy and Pathogenicity of Species from Diseased Leaves and Soils in the Plantation in Southern China.

Many species are causal agents of diseases on several forestry, agricultural and horticultural crops. leaf blight is one of the most important diseases associated with plantations and nurseries in Asia and South America. Recently, symptoms of leaf rot and leaf blight caused by species were observed in a one-year-old experimental plantation in GuangXi Province, southern China.

Empirical Antibiotic Treatment in Diabetic Foot Infection: A Study Focusing on the Culture and Antibiotic Sensitivity in a Population From Southern China.

Diabetic foot and subsequent diabetic ulcer infections are the most devastating complication of diabetes. This study was conducted to explore the bacterial spectrum, sensitivity of microbials, and analysis of the empirical antibiotic regimens in our health center. The study included patients with diabetic foot ulcer infection (DFI) seen from 2009 to 2014.

Prevention of macrovascular disease in patients with short-duration type 2 diabetes by multifactorial target control: an 8-year prospective study.

A longitudinal prospective study was undertook to investigate the effect of multifactorial target control, recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), on macrovascular disease in patients with short-duration type 2 diabetes. Patients who were newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or within 1 year and had no previous vascular diseases or atherosclerosis plaques were enrolled in the present study. All patients received multifactorial intervention, with pharmacologic therapy targeting hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, along with secondary prevention of vascular disease with aspirin when necessary according to the ADA recommendation.

A novel "in-situ tulip-bud deployment" method for transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect.

Objective: We devised a new technique for interventional closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) using the Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO), and validated this by comparing it with a cohort using the conventional method.

Background: Transcatheter closure of ASD is a widely accepted modality of treatment. Although the outcome is good, there are occasional technical difficulties encountered.
