If some nerve stem is damaged, sensory tracts are intercepted from the near nerve stem by nutrient vessels to regard as neural graft for transferring and bridging which may repair injured nerve and decrease neural functional loss of donator. OBJECTIVE: To observe anatomical peculiarities on sensory tracts of wrist median nerve pedicled with nutrient vessels transferring to bridge wrist ulnar nerve defect, and to investigate its feasibility. DESIGN:Duplicated and measured design.SETTING : Anatomy Department of Medical College affiliated to Nanhua University.MATERIALS: A total of 14 samples of upper limbs were selected from adult unnamed corpse and volunteers.METHODS: The experiment was completed at the Clinical Application Anatomy Laboratory of Medical College affiliated to Nanhua University from September to November 2005. Samples were perfused with red emulsion through artery to observe length, fibrous bands and blood supply of median nerve and ulnar nerve at wrist. Boundary of median nerve at wrist ranged from superficial site between flexor carpi radialis and palmaris Iongus to branch of common palmar digital nerves. Ulnar nerve at wrist ranged from branch of back of the hand to site of common palmar digital nerves. Proximal boundary of the two nerves was crossed from 1/8 to 2/8 region of forearm. Samples of upper limbs from 1 case were selected to simulate operation on sensory tracts of wrist median nerve pedicled with nutrient vessels transferring to bridge wrist ulnar nerve. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anatomical peculiarities on sensory tracts of wrist median nerve pedicled with nutrient vessels transferring to bridge wrist ulnar nerve defect. RESULTS: ① The length of wrist median nerves was 7.8 (7.5-8.1) cm. There were 19 to 27 nerve tracts in it and the majority belonged to sensory tracts on the ulnar side, in which non-damaged separated length was about 10.0 cm to 14.0 cm. The third, second and first tracts of cutaneous branches at digital interspace and radialis of thumb arrayed from ulnaris to radialis by turns, and numbers of bands were 6.9, 7.4 and 7.2, respectively. The bands in total were 21.6. Cutaneous branches of palm entered from lateral margin of radialis and were completely separated at wrist. Two-thirds of ulnaris at nerve stem, i.e. the third, second and first tracts of cutaneous branches at digital interspace, were separated, which had little effect on sensation in distribution of median nerve. ② Its nutrient vessels originated from radial arteries about 6.2 (6.1-6.6) cm above radial styloid process were 1.2 (1.1-1.4) mm in outer diameter. The length was 5.7 (5.1-6.1) cm.③ The length of wrist ulnar nerve were 9.4 (8.9-9.7) cm and the number of nervous tract were 14 to 19, in which sensory tracts on the anterior external side were approximately equal to motor and mixed tracts on the posterior internal side in quantity. Sensory tracts were located at radialis of palm and motor tracts were located at ulnaris of back. CONCLUSION :① Character and position of median nerve fibre bundle are clear, and length of non-damage separation of sensory tracts is coincidence with the request of transferring to bridge. ② Summation of the third, second and first tracts of cutaneous branches at digital interspace may be satisfactory to bridge of ulnar nerve at wrist (14-19 bands). ③ This technique has little effect on sensation in distribution of median nerve. Nutrient artery of median nerve locates constantly; journey table is superficial and is easily to find out; caliber of arterial canal is thick; blood supply is plentiful; length of pedicel is suitable for translocation. The sensery tracts of wrist median nerve pedicled with nutrient vessels can be applied as nervous grafts to join injured gap in wrist ulnar nerve.展开更多

Shandan 9) as a testing crop. Results showed that root growth and water supply had a significant effect on NO3^--N transfer and made NO3^--N distributed evenly from bulk soil to rhizosphere soil. Under a natural condition with irrigation, the difference of NO3^--N concentration at different distance points from a maize plant was smaller, while obvious difference of NO3^--N concentration was observed under conditions of limited root growth space without irrigation. Whether root growth space was restricted or not, the content of soil NO3^--N decreased gradually from 10 to 0 cm from the plant, being opposite to the root absorbing area in soils. When root-grown space was limited, changes of NO3^--N concentration at different distances from a plant were similar to that of water content in tendency. Results showed that NO3^--N could be transferred as solute to plant root systems with water uptake by plants. However, the transfer and distribution of NH4^--N were not influenced by root growth and soil water supply, being different to NO3^--N.展开更多

However, climate envelope models do not take into account changes in other factors that may also influence the survival and growth of plants at the predicted new locations, such as photoperiod and nutrient regimes. This study investigated how photoperiod and nitrogen supply would affect the ecophysiological traits of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill) B. S. P.) that are critical for survival and growth at new locations predicted by climate envelope models. We exposed black spruce seedlings to the photoperiod regime at the seed origin (PS) and that 10° north of the seed origin (PNM) as predicted by climate envelope models under the current and doubled atmospheric CO2 concentration and different levels of N supply (30 vs. 300 μmol·mol-1 N). We found that the PNM and the 30 μmol·mol-1 N supply both had negative impact on the development of seedling cold hardiness in the fall, and led to earlier burst of the terminal bud and greater rate of mortality in the following growing season. While the PNM stimulated seedling growth in the first growing season, the effect was not sustained in the second growing season. Our results suggest that the photoperiod regimes and poor nutrient conditions at higher latitudes will likely constrain the scope of the northward migration or seed transfer of black spruce.展开更多
