In the present paper, a field experiment with different N rates was conducted to study the possibility of using the visible spectrum of crop canopy to diagnose N status for the summer maize. Visible spectrum parameters were compared with the leaf SPAD readings, total N concentration and vein nitrate concentration. Field measurement data showed that the greenness intensity, blueness intensity, normalized redness intensity, normalized greenness intensity and normalized blueness intensity of the maize canopy have significant relationships with leaf SPAD readings, total N concentration and vein nitrate concentration (under a low N input condition, with vein nitrate concentration < 2 000 mg x L(-1)) at summer maize 10 leaves unfold stage. The greenness intensity, blueness intensity, normalized greenness intensity and normalized blueness intensity have significant relationship with the vein nitrate concentration under a low N input condition (vein nitrate concentration < 2 000 mg x L(-1)). But when the maize vein nitrate concentration is above 2 000 mg x L(-1), there is no spectral parameter showing significant relationship with the vein nitrate concentration. The visible spectrum parameters reached a plateau with the vein nitrate concentration increasing. To sum up, the normalized greenness intensity (NGI) and normalized blueness intensity (NBI) have higher r values (0.45-0.66) than other parameters.

Objective: Aim: Using morphometric methods to study the features of endotheliocyte remodeling of the arterial and venous beds of the testicles during long-term ethanol intoxication.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Endotheliocytes of the arterial and venous bed of the left and right testes of 60 white male rats, which were divided into two groups, were morphologically studied. The 1 group consisted of 30 intact animals, the 2 - 30 rats, which were daily intragastrically injected with a 30 % ethanol solution at the rate of 2 ml per 100 g of the animal's weight for 28 days.

The clinical management of neuropathic pain (NP) remains a significant challenge, as current pharmacological treatments do not fully meet clinical needs. Nicorandil, a potassium ATP channel agonist widely used in cardiovascular medicine, has recently been shown to have significant potential for analgesia. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of nicorandil in a chronic constriction injury (CCI) mouse model.

Article Synopsis
- In the spring of 2020 and 2021, pear trees in three regions of Saudi Arabia showed symptoms of fire blight, including shoot blight and reddish cankers, with disease incidence ranging from 10% to 25%.
- Researchers isolated bacteria from affected samples and identified them as Erwinia amylovora through morphological and biochemical tests, confirming their identity via PCR amplification.
- The study involved a total of 21 symptomatic samples, with the isolates exhibiting specific characteristics such as Gram-negative properties and fermentation patterns consistent with E. amylovora, which is known to cause fire blight in pear trees.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of long-term exposure to air pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and ozone (O), on a wide range of health issues among 17,566 participants in Sichuan Province, China, over an average of 4.2 years.
- - Results indicated that increases in various air pollutants were linked to heightened risks of multiple diseases, especially cardiovascular conditions, with hazard ratios showing significant associations, suggesting that poor air quality can negatively influence health outcomes.
- - The analysis highlighted that organic matter (OM) had a notable effect on the combined impact of air pollutants on various health conditions, emphasizing the crucial role of air quality in public health.
