In order to investigate the effects of short-term nitrogen and phosphorus addition on soil respiration and its components in a subalpine grassland located on the Qilian Mountains, a random block design of nitrogen[10 g·(m·a), N], phosphorus[5 g·(m·a), P], nitrogen and phosphorus addition[10 g·(m·a)N and 5 g·(m·a)P, NP], the control (CK), and complete control (CK') was conducted from June to August 2019, and total soil respiration and its component respiration rates were measured. The results showed that nitrogen addition reduced soil total respiration and heterotrophic respiration rates at a lower rate than P addition[-16.71% vs.

The distinct structural features and donor atoms make the two complexes show different water stability, and the complex 1 with good water stability, which can be utilized as the sensor for Fe ion detection in water. The value of Stern-Volmer quenching constant of 1 to the Fe is 5.

Materials And Methods: Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group (Sham ovariectomy, Sham-OVX), tendency group (ovariectomy, OVX), and experiment group (ovariectomy+Hyalofemme, OVX+Hyalofemme).
Background: Provincial maternal mortality surveillance systems (PMMSS) have been set up in nearly all the provinces in China to monitor local maternal mortality and provide the evidence for maternal health interventions suited to local conditions. However, till now little is known outside of China about the characteristics of PMMSS.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature contained in PubMed and China Academic Journal Network Publishing database was carried out.
Objective: Study on the correlation and path analysis of artemisininum comtent and related factor on Artemisiae annie. In order to obtain high artemisininum content Artemisiae annie.
Methods: On the natural condition, choose 36 area where Artemisiae annie growth in three gorges reservoir area.
Purposes: Uterine cervical carcinosarcoma (CS) is very rare. To date, only 40 cases have been reported. It seems to have a more aggressive clinical behavior than does cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of IL-16 gene polymorphisms with the risk and clinical phenotypes of endometriosis in Chinese women. We analyzed rs4778889 T/C, rs11556218 T/G polymorphisms of the IL-16 gene in 230 patients with endometriosis and 203 controls in a Chinese population, using a polymerase chain reaction-high resolution melting analysis strategy and DNA sequencing methods.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of small heterodimer partner (SHP) and target gene cholesterol-7-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) in livers of rats with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), and to study the mechanism of ICP.
Methods: Thirty SD rats (pregnant for 15 days) were equally and randomly divided into two groups: an estradiol benzoate (EB) group and a normal saline (NS) group. Two ml blood was drawn from each rat before and on the 5th day after medicine administration to measure the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, TBA, TBIL, and DBIL.
Purpose: To detect the abnormalities of the optic radiation (OR) in children with amblyopia by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography.
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial.
Methods: Fourteen children with amblyopia and 14 normally sighted children underwent DTI scanning.
Purpose: To detect the abnormalities of gray matter in children with amblyopia by voxel-based morphometry (VBM).
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial.
Methods: Thirteen children with amblyopia and 14 normally sighted children underwent magnetic resonance (MR) examination.
