In order to elucidate the mechanism of drip formation, measurements have been made of the amount of drip, and its protein concentration, from 80 pigs chilled conventionally. The correlation between amount of drip and protein concentration was poor but significant (r = -0·41, P < 0·001). The individual protein components of 20 drip samples were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Relative protein composition varied with amount of drip. As the amount of drip increased above about 12% the absolute amounts of some proteins decreased; these proteins were creatine kinase and/or phosphoglycerate kinase (under the system used, these two proteins comigrate and therefore cannot be distinguished), myokinase, and an unidentified protein of molecular weight 137000. Drip contained similar proteins to a sarcoplasmic extract and in similar amounts. These results show that drip is mainly sarcoplasmic in origin and we suggest that the systematic changes in individual proteins as the amount of drip increases may be explained by denaturation of some or all of these proteins and possibly by dilution with fluid from within the myofibril.

Faced with the increasingly serious problem of water scarcity, developing precise irrigation strategies for crops in saline alkali land can effectively reduce the negative effects of low water resource utilization. Using a model to simulate the dynamic changes in soil water and salt environment in the root zone of fragrant pear trees in saline alkali land, and verifying them from a production practice perspective with comprehensive benefits as the goal, can optimize the irrigation amount and irrigation technology elements of saline alkali fruit trees, broaden the comprehensive evaluation perspective of decision-makers, and have important significance for improving the yield and production efficiency of forestry and fruit industry in arid and semi-arid areas worldwide. In this study, a two-year field experiment based on three irrigation levels (3000, 3750, and 4500 m·ha) and four emitter discharge rates (1, 2, 3, and 4 L·h) was conducted in Xinjiang, China.

A new method is proposed to generate hydrogen in situ at low pressure from powder-pressed recycled aluminum turnings activated with small amounts of NaOH and drops of water. The contribution of this system is that the user can obtain small flows of high-purity hydrogen (>99%) to charge their portable electronic devices in remote places, in a simple, controlled, and safe way, since only water is used. Test tubes that contain tiny amounts of NaOH on their surface can be transported and used without contact.

Radiation therapy targets tumor tissue and requires children to lay still, often necessitating sedation. Historically anesthesiologists provided procedural sedation, but pediatric critical care physicians now regularly administer sedation outside the operating room. Procedural sedation for radiation poses unique challenges.

The issue of water scarcity is a global concern. Water-saving irrigation has long been a topic of interest among agricultural researchers. In this study, changes in soil microbial community structure and diversity under different periods of drip irrigation were analyzed using the Illumina HiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform and 16S rRNA gene sequence amplification.

Background: An inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that lasts longer than three months is known as chronic rhinosinusitis. When corticosteroids and other medicinal treatments fail to relieve a patient's symptoms, then functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure to alleviate the symptoms. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of oral steroids given prior to surgery on intraoperative bleeding in patients having functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis.
