[Method] Pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of atrazine stress (20, 50, 100, 200, 500 mg/kg) on plant height, biomass, root-shoot ratio and chlorophyll content of P. hydridum. [Results] Low level of atrazine stress (20 and 50 mg/kg) showed no significant effects on plant height and biomass of P. hydridum. Moderate level of atrazine stress (100 and 200 mg/kg) did not show significant effect on plant height, but did on the biomass of P. hydridum. Biomass of P. hydridum stressed by 100 and 200 mg/kg of atrazine was decreased by 34.1% and 36.4% compared with control, respectively. High level of atrazine stress (500 mg/kg) brought significant decrease in plant height(by 40.6%) and biomass(20.0%) of P. hydridum. All levels of atrazine stress showed no significant effects on root-shoot ratio and chlorophyll content of P. hydridum. [Conclusion] Pennisetum hydridum has strong tolerance to atrazine stress.展开更多

[Method] Under the hydroponic condition in laboratory, 3 NH4+/NO3- ratios (0/100, 50/50 and 100/0) and 2 water conditions (+PEG,-PEG) were designed for Fengliangyou 7203. [Result] The root-canopy ratio of rice seedlings increased under any of the NH4+/NO3- ratios and water conditions. Under water stress, the root-canopy ratio of rice seedlings changed most greatly at the NH4+/NO3- ratio of 0/ 100; the overall water potential of rice seedlings reached the lowest at the NH4+/ NO3- ratio of 100/0; and the changes of water potential and xylem flow pH were relatively stable at the NH4+/NO3- ratio of 50/50. Under the condition of no water stress, the growth of rice seedlings was best at the NH4+/NO3- ratio of 50/50, followed by the NH4+/NO3- ratios of 0/100 and 100/0. [Conclusion] This study will pro- vide a basis for understanding the relationship between water potential and xylem flow.展开更多

Methods One hundred and eighty-four consecutive patients with mean heart rate ≤65 beats per minute undergoing CCTA were prospectively included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the group A (n=92) instructed to shorten respiratory time received CCTA using bolus-tracking technique with high-pitch spiral acquisition mode (Flash mode), while those in the group B (n=92) underwent CCTA with test bolus technique. The attenuation in the ascending aorta, image noise, contrast-to-noise ratio and radiation doses of the two groups were assessed. Results There were no significant differences in the mean attenuation values in the ascending aorta (483.18±59.07 HU vs. 498.7±83.51 HU, P=0.183), image noise (21.4±4.5 HU vs. 20.9±4.3 HU, P=0.414), contrast-to-noise ratio (12.1±4.2 vs. 13.8±5.1, P=0.31) between the groups A and B. There were no significant differences in the radiation dose of dynamic monitoring scans (0.056±0.026 mSv vs. 0.062±0.018 mSv, P=0.068) and radiation dose of angiography (0.94±0.07 mSv vs. 0.96±0.15 mSv,P=0.926) between the two groups, while 15 mL less contrast material volume was administered in the group A than the group B. Conclusion Bolus-tracking technique with shortened time of respiratory in Flash mode of dual-source CT yields the similar homogeneous enhancement with less contrast material in comparison to the test bolus technique.展开更多

The results showed that both drugs were effective in decreasing episodes of SMI and shortening the duration of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia. TXL, however, was found with a better action and was superior to isosorbide dinitrate. It was also found that TXL could improve diastolic function of the left ventricle as well.展开更多
