The effects of CRNF application on rapeseed yield, agronomic characters and soil fertility were studied in this paper. The results showed that CRNF application improved the growth of rapeseed plant and increased rapeseed yield of CRNF treatments in the purple calcareous clayed paddy soil （PCS） and alluvial loamy paddy soil （ALS） which respectively increased by 12.2% and 9.8% compared with applying urea, re- spectively. The rapeseed yield in 70% CRNF treatment obviously decreased com- pared with urea treatment. The contents of available N and organic carbon in soil increased by 25.0% and 3.2% in CRNF treatment in the ALS after rapeseed crop, respectively; and available N increased by 13.5% in the PCS. Both rapeseed yield and soil fertility in CRNF treatment and 70% CRNF treatment were lower than those in CK treatment in the reddish yellow clayed paddy soil （RYS）. The results al- so indicated that the functions of CRNF application on rapeseed yield increase and soil nitrogen fertility improvement were very obvious in the PCS and ALS.展开更多

It can be used to describe the later stage when drug loading is above its solubility limit. A comprehensive model is proposed and the generalized solutions are acquired by Laplace transformation, from which a special case, i.e. a perfect sink has been deduced. According to the derived equations, the concentration profiles in the matrix has been computed and illustrated and the effect of volume of extraction medium on release has been investigated.展开更多

[Method] Pot experiment was carried out to investigate the agronomic characteristics and physiological indices of corn fertilized with controlled release fertilizers compared with conventional fertilizer （CF）. [Result] Plant height, stem girth, leaf area and root volume of corn were significantly increased under the CRF treatments; photosynthetic rate and soluble protein content were also improved. Dry matter accumulations under the two CRF treatments were increased by 21.3% and 17.0% compared with CF application at one time （CF1）, and 19.6% and 15.4% with CF application at two times （CF2）, respectively. Accumulation amounts of N, P and K in whole plant under the two CRF treatments were increased by 44.0% -24.7% , 40.0%-25.9% and 20.1% -13.9% ; and the nutrient use efficiencies of N, P and K were improved by 22.9% -13.4% , 11.2% -9.6% and 17.5% -12.1% , respectively. [Conclusion] The results implied that the CRFs could significantly improve nutrient use efficiency and plant yield.展开更多

The release performances of 5-FU microspheres in vitro were studied in PH 7.4 phosphate buffered saline. The therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres in vivo were studied using MGC-803 (human stomach cancer) xenograft. 32 nude mice were divided into four groups (n =8), 5-FU loaded PLA microspheres were injected at tumor site. VEGF121 monoclonal antibody was connected with 5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles through carbodimide. The targeted effect of VEGF 5-FU loaded nanoparticles in vivo were observed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) after tail vein injection at 1 h and 2 h. SEM observation showed that microspheres were spherical, and the diameters of two kinds of microspheres were 1 μm and 5 μm respectively. The mean diameter of nanoparticles was 191.0 nm, and the index of polydispersity was 0.202. The drug was released following biphasic kinetics, initial burst and the following steady phase. 1 μm and 5 μm 5-FU-loaded microspheres both resulted in increased life span (1 μm microspheres median survival time=40.63 days, 5 μm microspheres median survival time=62.25 days), against 5-FU pure drug (median survival time=14.5 days). These results strongly suggest that 5-FU-loaded PLA microspheres increase life span of nude mice bearing MGC-803 tumors. After injection for 2 h, almost all the VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles could centralize at the human gastric cancer xenograft sites. That demonstrated VEGF monoclonal antibody remain its bioactivity after connection with nanoparticles, VEGF/5-FU loaded PLA nanoparticles had very exact targeting function for gastric tumor xenograft.展开更多

We propose a novel approach to synthesize the nitrogen-doped graphene via thermal annealing graphene with urea, in which the nitrogen source can be controllably released from the urea by varying the annealed temperature and time. The doped N content and the configuration N as well as the thermal stabilities are also evaluated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectra. Electrical measurements indi- cate that the conductivity of doped graphene can be well regulated with the N content. The method is expected to produce large scale and controllable N-doped graphene sheets for a variety of potential applications.展开更多

Among these systems, mesoporous silica nanoparticles （MSNs） with a functional surface possess obvious advantages and were thus rapidly developed for cancer treatment. Many stimuli-responsive materials, such as nanopartides, polymers, and inorganic materials, have been applied as caps and gatekeepers to control drug release from MSNs. This review presents an overview of the recent progress in the production of pH-responsive MSNs based on the pH gradient between normal tissues and the tumor microenvironment. Four main categories of gatekeepers can respond to acidic conditions. These categories will be described in detail.展开更多
