AIM: Agricultural and industrial wastes, such as deteriorated corns and oil foots, were used as slow-release materials to prepare biodegradable puffed fertilizers, with urea was encapsulated in fertilizer particles with three-dimensional (3D) skeleton construction.METHODS: Slow-release materials formed 3D skeleton construction through modified treatments, swelling, comminution,extrusion and pelleting. Also 3D skeleton construction and its scales were modified by alternating technical conditions,species and ratio of materials in order to realize the controlled-release of fertilizers.RESULTS: Puffed slow-release fertilizers were prepared. And 3D skeleton construction formed as a compact protective layer on surface of fertilizer particles, whose coating fraction of urea was larger than 85%, the number of pin hole (larger than 20 nm) was lower than 20%, and thickness of membrane was larger than 30 nm. The protective layers of samples in soil were biodegraded and pulled out by microbes. Therefore fertilizer particles emerged gradually and dissolved into soil. Slow release of puffed fertilizers was a continuous process containing degradation, abscission and dissolution. And the whole procedure did not yield any polluting residuals. Release experiments in water showed that pure urea (100%) dissolved absolutely in 10 minutes, whereas only 8.2% urea was released from samples with urea content 85.50% after 120 minutes.And similar experiments in soil illuminated that 85% urea was dissolved from pure urea (100%) in 20 hours, whereas 1.3% and 0.8% urea was released from puffed slow-release fertilizers with urea content 81.5% and 40.9% respectively. Therefore,the release rate of slow-release puffed fertilizers was only 1/65.38 and 1/106.25 to that of pure urea.CONCLUSION: Compared with pure urea, the release rates of puffed slow-release fertilizers in both water and soil are apparently low. Furthermore, puffed slow-release fertilizers have good biodegradability (＞95%), which can improve the construction of soil and increase the content of organic fertilizers.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of deanxit in treatment of post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods60 patients with PSD were randomly divided into treatment group ( plus with deanxit) and control group (plus with estazolam necessarily). At the baseline and at 2 weeks,4 weeks, 8 weeks after the treatment, the efficacy was assessed with HAMD, SSS, and ADL rating scale respectively. Results After 2,4,8 weeks treatment, HAMD and SSS scores of the treatment group significantly decreased compared with the control group ( all P ＜ 0. 01 ), and ADL scores of the treatment group increased significantly compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Deanxit could effectively relieve depressing symptoms and neurological impairment of PSD, and clinical side effects of deanxit were less. Deanxit was suitable for acute phase and long-term maintenance therapy in PSD.

Objective:To examine the expression of integrin ?V?3 in periodontium during experimental tooth movement, and then to propose the possible role of ?V?3 in bone remodeling during tooth movement. Methods:Thirty-five rabbits were divided into 7 groups (5 rabbits per group):untreated(control), 1,3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 d groups. A elastic coil spring was ligated between the incisors and the first molar and exert a force of approximately 0.78 N to pull the first molar mesially. The animals were sacrificed at each time intervals(1,3,5,7,14 and 21 d) respectively and specimens were made to observe the expression of integrin ?V?3 in periodontium through in situ hybridization. Results:Different extent expression of integrin ?V?3 were seen in osteoclasts, osteoblast precursors, osteoblasts,odontoclasts and odontoblast except bone cells. Conclusions: Integrin ?V?3 may play an important role in bone modeling, cementum resorption and its reparation during experimental tooth movement.

Chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia( CIT) is a major dose-limiting hematologic toxicity with cancer patients.Aside from bleeding risk, thrombocytopenia limits chemotherapy doses and frequencies. While platelet transfusion is remain the elementary method for CIT,administration of platelet growth factors,such as recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11),recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)and thrombopoie-tin receptor agonist(TPO-RA),are convenient and effective platelet-support strategies for patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy.In addition,other cytokines and proximal splenic artery embolization( PSAE) are expected to be new clinical therapies.In this review,we summarize the existing data and approaches in the treat-ment progress of CIT.

Objective To investigate the causes of the complications occurred after repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations and to discuss their nursing interventions. Methods A total of 54 embolization procedures were performed in 17 patients with huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The causes of complications were carefully examined and the preventive measures were discussed. The prompt and necessary nursing interventions were formulated in order to prevent the complications or serious consequences. Results Among the total 17 patients, one patient gave up the treatment because of the cerebral hemorrhage which occurred two months after receiving 3 times of embolization therapy. One patient experienced cerebral vascular spasm during the procedure, which was relieved after antispasmodic medication and no neurological deficit was left behind. Two patients developed transient dizziness and headache, which were alleviated spontaneously. One patient presented with nervousness, fear and irritability, which made him hard to cooperate with the operation and the basis intravenous anesthesia was employed. No complications occurred in the remaining cases. Conclusion The predictive nursing interventions for the prevention of complications are very important for obtaining a successful repeated embolization therapy for huge cerebral arteriovenous malformations, which will ensure that the patients can get the best treatment and the complications can be avoided.
