Pharmaceutical treatment status of patients with COPD in the community based on medical Internet of Things: a real-world study.

This study aimed to investigate the real-world standardisation and adherence of medical treatment regimens in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the community for making future management strategy. The follow-up data and treatment information of patients with COPD, which were collected through the Management Information Center of COPD (MICCOPD) in 21 community health service centres in Songjiang District, a countryside region of Shanghai. Concordance between the pharmaceutical treatment plan and recommendation of 2017 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) report during the follow-up management period, as well as the medication adherence by patients,were analysed.

The complete chloroplast genome of paradox (), an interspecific hybrid in China.

Paradox is one of the most important rootstock resources in USA and China walnut industry. In this study, we characterized the complete chloroplast genome of Paradox ( × ) based on next generation sequencing. The circular complete chloroplast genome was 160,324 bp in length, containing a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,852 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,410 bp.

Soil Chemical and Microbiological Properties Are Changed by Long-Term Chemical Fertilizers That Limit Ecosystem Functioning.

Although the effects of fertilization and microbiota on plant growth have been widely studied, our understanding of the chemical fertilizers to alter soil chemical and microbiological properties in woody plants is still limited. The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of long-term application of chemical fertilizers on chemical and microbiological properties of root-associated soils of walnut trees. The results show that soil organic matter (OM), pH, total nitrogen (TN), nitrate-nitrogen (NO), and total phosphorus (TP) contents were significantly higher in non-fertilized soil than after chemical fertilization.

Experimental realization of a 2 × 2 polarization-independent split-ratio-tunable optical beam splitter.

We realized a polarization-independent split-ratio-tunable optical beam splitter supporting two input and output ports through a stable interferometer. By adjusting the angle of a half-wave plate in the interferometer, we can tune the beam splitter reflectivities for both input ports from 0 to 1, regardless of the input light polarization. High-fidelity polarization-preserving transmission from input to output ports was verified by complete quantum process tomography.

[Quantitative study of porphyromonas gingivalis in subgingival plaques of orthodontic adults].

Objective: To assess the early variation of clinical periodontal indexes and Porphyronwnas gingivulis (Pgingivalis) in subgingival plaques of orthodontic adults.

Methods: 11 orthodontic adults were selected. Clinical periodontal indexes of observed teeth were examined at three different time points: Before orthodontic treatment, the first month after treatment and the third month after treatment, and subgingival plaques were collected simultaneously at each time point.

Sentinel hospital surveillance for rotavirus diarrhea in the People's Republic of China, August 2001-July 2003.

China has the second largest birth cohort in the world and the second highest number of deaths due to rotavirus infection. It is also the only country with a licensed rotavirus vaccine. Chinese policy makers now need credible estimates of the burden of rotavirus disease, to decide about vaccine use.

[Epidemiological study on rotavirus-borne diarrhea in infants and children in different areas].

Objective: To analyze and compare the epidemiological features of rotavirus diarrhea among infants in the different areas so as to provide data for rotavirus vaccine research.

Methods: From Sep. 2001 through Sep.
