Study on the Degradation Trend of Ryegrass-White Clover Artificial Grassland

[Objective] The study aimed to explore the degradation law and trend of artificial grassland. [Method] Taking the ryegrass （Lolium perenne） - white clover （ Trifolium repens） artificial grassland in Maiping Township, Guizhou Province as the research object, the grassland vegetation of 40 quadrate from different areas （area around the sheep shed, hilltop, hillside, flatland at the foot of the hill） were analyzed by comparing the dominance and richness index. [ Result] Degradation of different degrees appeared in various areas of this artificial grassland. To be specific, the degradation of grassland around the sheep shed was not serious for less consumption by the sheep; however, the areas on the hilltop and hillside degenerated to the grassland types of dallis grass （ Paspalum dilatatum Poir. ） -Indian lovegrass （ Eragrostis pilosa） and dallis grass - cogongrass [ Imperata cylindrica （ Linn. ） Beauv. ], respectively, and the area at the foot of the hill degenerated to the grassland type dominated by garland chrysanthetnum （ Chrysanthemum coronarium L. ） and knotgrass （ Paspalum distichum L. ）. [ Conclusion ] This study provided a basis for grassland improvement as well as the efficient and sustainable utilization of grazing-type artificial grassland in South China.

Arg-X Activity in Trypsin-like Complexes of the Nuclear Rroteins in the Suprastructures of Interphase Chromatin During Induction of Growth Morphogenesis Mature Germs of Wheat

The purpose of this study was to analyze spatio-temporal dynamics of localization of protease-sensitive sites Arg-X in non-histone and histone blocks of heteropolymer suprastructures （nucleoplasm, chromatin, nuclear matrix） as possible zones affecting the conformational rearrangements of the total interphase chromatin at the induction of increasing morphogenesis of mature embryos-germs of spring and transformed from its winter wheat. Germinated embryos-germs were detached from endosperm after 24 hours from the start of soaking. Cell nuclei have been allocated from embryos-germs and cleared, and then from their heteropolymer suprastructures （nucleoplasm, chromatin loosely bound with nuclear matrix and chromatin tightly bound with nuclear matrix, and nuclear matrix） were extracted by increasing ionic strength of solution. From isolated nuclear suprastructures, non-histone proteins were separated from histones using ion exchange chromatography. Trypsin-like complexes from non-histone proteins and histone blocks were isolated using the affinity chromatography. The Arg-X （tryptase） activity was assessed by cleavage of Arg-X bonds in the arginine-enriched protein protamine. Hypersensitivity to the Arg-X proteolysis in trypsin-like complexes detected at the level suprastructures of chromatin tightly bound with the nuclear matrix was shown. The most active changes of the nuclear proteome have occurred at the level of the non-histone proteins and the core histones （H2A ＋ H2B） （H3 ＋ H4） of induced to growth embryos-seedlings of winter wheat （compared to the initial spring form of wheat）. Perhaps hypersensitivity to the Arg-X activity of the trypsin-like complexes in the non-histone proteins and the core blocks of chromatin tightly bound with nuclear matrix have been entrenched during the transforming of the winter wheat from the initial spring wheat.

The role of maize root size in phosphorus uptake and productivity of maize/faba bean and maize/wheat intercropping systems

Interspecific root/rhizosphere interactions affect phosphorus (P) uptake and the productivity of maize/faba bean and maize/wheat intercropping systems. The aim of these experiments was to determine whether manipulation of maize root growth could improve the productivity of the two intercropping systems. Two near isogenic maize hybrids (the larger-rooted T149 and smaller-rooted T222) were intercropped with faba bean and wheat, under conditions of high- and low-P availability. The larger-rooted T149 showed greater competitive ability than the smaller-rooted T222 in both maize/faba bean and maize/wheat intercropping systems. The higher competitive ability of T149 improved the productivity of the maize/faba bean intercropping system in P-sufficient conditions. In maize/wheat intercropping systems, root growth, shoot biomass, and P uptake of maize were inhibited by wheat, regardless of the P-supply. Compared with T222, the larger-rooted T149 suffered less in the intercropping systems. The total biomass of the maize/wheat intercropping system was higher for wheat/T149 than for wheat/T222 under low-P conditions. These data suggested that genetic improvement of maize root size could enhance maize growth and its ability to compete for P resources in maize/faba bean and maize/wheat intercropping systems. In addition, depending on the P availability, larger maize roots could increase the productivity of intercropping systems.

Postmarketing studies on safety of Dengfeng~ shenmai injection

OBJECTIVE: To systematically research the postmarketing safety of Dengfeng shenmai injection, identify potential risk factors, and ensure its clinical safety. METHODS: We investigated a comprehensive series of studies on the production process, quality standards, pharmacology, postmarketing clinical studies, and safety evaluation of Shenmai injection, including literature analysis of adverse drug reaction(ADR) case analysis and systematic review. Data from the hospital information system(HIS) and spontaneous reporting system(SRS) were also analyzed. RESULTS: The approximate dosage leading to death in dogs is 45.0-67.5 g raw drug/kg and the toxic reactions are restlessness, skin irritation, salivation, and vomiting. The results of chronic toxicity tests in mice and dogs, and the other tests such as 6-month toxicity, drug safety, genetic toxicity, and reproductive toxicity of rats and dogs, were positive or qualified. Patient ADR history and ADR family history were closely associated with itching based on the data analysis from SRS. There was no damage to renal function from Shenmai injection use at a dosage and a treatment course outside the recommended dosage and treatment course as specified based on data analysis from HIS. The most common ADR from Shenmai injection are difficulty breathing, facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, skin itching, rash, and back pain. CONCLUSION: This study includes complete information on Shenmai injection ADR incidence rate. We found that Shenmai injection is safe and this study can provide clinical, research, and production institutions with an objective, reliable, and scientific basis for use of Shenmai injection.
