[Method] Different concentrations of EM (effective microorganisms) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were mixed at a ratio of 1:1, and sprayed on fish feed. The growth of intestinal villi of the fishes that had been fed with the feed mixed with compound probiotics for three months was observed; meanwhile, the content of in- testinal Aeromonas hydrophila was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. |Result] The compound probiotics promoted the development of intestinal villi, and inhibited the growth of A. hydrophila, and the effects were also concentration dependent. However, the compound probiotics did not increase the thickness of the intestinal serous layer, muscular layer and submucosal layer. [Conclusion] The compound probiotics we prepared can be used and popularized in aquiculture as it can inhibit the growth of A. hydrophila.展开更多

Hence, patch testing with MWF from the patient’s workplace is an important additional diagnostic tool. However, recommendations on how to perform such patch tests vary. We retrospectively analyzed patch test data of the Department of Dermatology in Dortmund, 1992-2003. In 141 metalworkers tested because of suspected occupational contact dermatitis due to MWF, 829 patch tests with 306 samples of MWF were performed. Water-based MWF (wb MWF) were mainly tested in 2 dilution series, i.e. pure (workplace concentration), 10%aq. and 1%aq., and pure, 50%aq. and 10%aq. Positive reactions to wb MWF occurred in 27 patients. Patch testing with wb MWF at workplace concentration resulted in 16.1 %(39/242) positive reactions, with a positivity ratio of 69%and a reaction index of 0. From the analysis of reaction patterns and concomitant reactions,we conclude that most of these positive reactions indicated true contact allergy. With lower concentrations, relevant allergic reactions may be missed. Neat oils were tested as is or diluted from 1 to 50%in olive oil, but no reactions at all were observed. For optimum benefit of patch testing with MWF from the patient’s workplace, breakdown testing is recommended. To overcome the time-consuming difficulties associated with this procedure, we propose a centre for information and documentation of contact allergies due to occupational exposure. Furthermore, full declaration of MWF ingredients is desirable.展开更多

A new kineticmodel of hydrate formation for the methane + water systems wasdeveloped based on a four-step formation mechanism and reactionkinetics approach. The proposed kinetic model predicts the kineticbehavior of methane hydrate formation in pure water with goodaccuracy.

The patient showed extensive ulcerative colitis since the age of 20 years and had failed therapy with 5-aminosalicylic acid agents and azathioprine. The disease remained active despite treatment with steroids and cyclosporine. The clinical and endoscopic parameters were consistent with severe disease. Infectious precipitants were ruled out. Given the severity of the disease and in order to avoid a colectomy, we started the patient on infliximab therapy. A dramatic clinical and endoscopic response was observed and she remained in remission at the end of a 1-year follow-up period. We discuss findings in the literature regarding the use ofinfliximab therapy in patients with ulcerative colitis who have failed steroids and cyclosporine.展开更多

[Method] Three surveys were carried out. There were 5 fixed test clumps in each plot. The number of total plants and disease plants and disease progression in each fixed clump were recorded. The correlation effectiveness was calculated based on the growth rate of disease index. Significance analysis was performed with Dun- can's new multiple range method (DMRT). [Result] The difenoconazole-azoxystrobin 32.5% SC had a good efficacy for rice sheath blight, and its efficacy increased with the increase of dose. If sprayed according to the dose of 450 ml/hm2 5 days before the beginning of heading stage of rice, difenoconazole-azoxystrobin 32.5% SC would have better effects on controlling rice sheath blight with correlation effectiveness reaching up to 95.14%, which was 2.06% higher than that of control drug (trifloxys- trobin-tebuconazole 75% WG, 225 g/hm2). [Conclusion] Treated with difenoconazole- azoxystrobin 32.5% SC with dose of 450 ml/hm2, rice would have green upper leaves and less yellow middle and lower leaves. Moreover, the yield was in- creased significantly. The difenoconazole-azoxystrobin 32.5% SC had good safety. Therefore, difenoconazole-azoxystrobin 32.5% SC had a good application prospect in production.展开更多

Floodwater properties and ammonia loss from the circular plot were compared with those from the microplots. And the effectiveness of urease inhibitor, NBPT [N-(n-butyl) thiophosphonc triamide], was also tested Results showed that the total losses from urea broadcast and incorporated at transplanting (basal dressing) were similar with those from urea broadcast 12 days after transplanting (top-dressing) (51.5% and 48%, respectively, of applied N), and ammonia losses were low, the corresponding figures were 10.8% and 7.0% of applied N, respectively. Thus, denitrification was a much more important pathway of nitrogen loss than ammonia volatilization under the particular conditions. Addition of NBPT retarded urea hydrolysis, reduced pHs and ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations of floodwater for either the application of urea as basal or as top-dressing, but these effects were not translated into the reduction of total nitrogen loss. Floodwater pHs and ammonia loss in the microplots were apparently lower than those in the circular plot from urea applied as basal dressing; however, such differences were not found when urea was top-dressed. The frequently raining days occurred after top-dressing may be responsible for the insignificant effect of plot size on floodwater pHs and ammonia volatilization. It seems that the effects of plot size on floodwater properties and ammonia loss mainly depend on weather conditions, in addition to the height and leaf area index of the crop.展开更多

The data were correlated to coals' slurryability which is characterized by the solid load at the viscosity of 1 Pa's and 25℃. The results showed that the heat of wetting by wa-ter decreases as coal rank increases in the range of brawn coal to bituminous coaI with carbon content of 89% ~90% (daf), and then, increases a little for anthracite. This trend fitted well to the relationship of slurryability to coal rank. The heat of wetting was also correlated to the inher-ent moisture content and the oxygen content of coal, which are commonly considered as slurrya-bility indication parameters. Hence, the wetting heat is another measure of coal's slurryability.展开更多
