The nitrate-N content in KNO3 solution and soil was rapidly predicted using techniques of mid-infrared spectroscopy, in which 15 NO-3 and 14 NO-3 were distinguished and predicted. The results showed that the characteristic band of nitrate in solution and soil was 1200-1500 cm-1 , and compared with 14 NO-3 , the red shift of characteristic band of 15 NO-3 was about 35 cm-1 . In the characteristic band of nitrate, absorption band increased with the nitrate nitrogen concentration with less interference absorption. The linear regression was made between the first principal component of characteristic band and nitrate-N content, and correlation coefficient was more than 0 . 9840 , indicating that the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy could be applied for rapid monitoring of nitrate in solution and soil. Meanwhile, based on the red shift characteristic of 15 NO-3 absorption band, the method of partial least squares were involved to predict the nitrate-N of different N-isotope labeled in solution and soil, resulting that all the prediction models reached excellent levels. For 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in solution, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9980 and 0. 9982 respectively, and ration performance to standard deviations ( RPD ) were 6. 44 and 4. 76, respectively. While for 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in soil, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9794 and 0. 9679, and RPD were 5. 75 and 4. 78, respectively. Therefore, the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy can be applied for rapid monitoring different N-isotope labeled nitrate in solution and soil, to provide a new in situ and fast time method to study nitrification process in soil.

Objective To develop a lower limbs rehabilitative apparatus and explore its effects. Methods From January to September, 2016, 28 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=14) and observation group (n=14) randomly. The control group received routine rehabilitation, while the observation group received self-made lower limbs rehabilitative apparatus training addition-ally. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-88 and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) before and three months after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in the scores of GMFM-88 and BBS between two groups before treatment (P>0.05), while they increased after treatment (t>6.124, P<0.001), and were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.329, P<0.05). Conclusion Self-made lower limbs rehabilitative apparatus could help to improve the gross motor function and balance function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Objective To elucidate the difference between methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and methicillin-sensitive S.aureus (MSSA)in terms of genotypes and distribution of virulence genes with the clinical strains isolated from Hohhot,and explore the relationship between the changing resistance of S.aureus and the virulence transition.Methods Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE)and multi locus sequence typing (MLST)methods were employed to do molecular typing for 30 MRSA strains and 30 MSSA strains isolated from inpatients in Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.PCR method was used to profile the distribution of virulence genes among these strains.Results PFGE typing results showed that 60 S.aureus strains were classified into 19 major types.MSSA strains belonged to 16 types,mainly types I and H.MRSA strains mainly belonged to types of K and M.Among the 20 strains with different PFGE types,MRSA strains were mainly identified as ST-239 type.but the prevalence of sec ,seg ,sei,sem,sen,seo,fnbB ,ebpS and cap 5 was higher in MSSA strains than in MRSA strains (P<0.05).Conclusions The clinical strains of S .aureus isolated from Hohhot showed diverse genotyping features.ST-239 was the major PFGE type of MRSA strains.The prevalence of virulence genes was higher in MSSA strains than in MRSA strains. Characteristic cluster is found for specific virulence genes.The results also suggest that acquisition of specific antibiotic resistance may be associated with change of specific virulence feature in S.aureus.

Objective Idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN)is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults,and the prognosis of IMN varies among individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis and risk factors,especially the prognostic indicators in kidney patholo?gies for IMN. Methods Patients diagnosed as IMN by renal biopsy from January 2006 to December 2011 were collected and those who finished at least 12 months of follow?up were enrolled in this study. The clinical and renal pathological indicators were collected and the correlation between the pathological indicators and the prognosis was analyzed. Results Totally 137 patients were enrolled in this study,18 patients(13.14%)reached the follow up ending point(defined as eGFR<30 mL/min). The prognosis of kidney function was poor in IMN patients with interstitial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and severe vascular sclerosis and those who were older at disease onset and demonstrated to have higher MAP,poorer renal function,intersti?tial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and worse vascular sclerosis. Conclusion Renal pathological characteristics during renal biopsy were correlated with the renal prognosis of IMN. Severe interstitial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and vascular sclerosis were identified as risk factors for the poor prognosis of re?nal function in IMN patients.
